The King of Urban Mercenaries

Chapter 1655 - 1660: Divine Artifact and Demon Artifact

Lin Fei thought, if this young man is pretending to be harmless while being really dangerous, he might end up regretting it.

"Why? I don’t even want your Divine Artifact." The young man seemed to find it hard to understand why Lin Fei refused to let him take a look at his artifact.

"Do you think I would lend my Divine Artifact to a stranger for viewing?" Lin Fei coldly looked at the young man. He didn’t know the young man’s abilities or character, but he was certain that he would never hand over the Divine Artifact to a stranger for observation.

"Indeed, I am not worthy of your trust, but I think you should consider the consequences of refusing me." The young man suddenly rose into the air, facing Lin Fei directly.

At this moment, Lin Fei felt that the young man had changed, specifically in terms of aura—an aura that was more sinister.

Lin Fei frowned, "Are you preparing to snatch it?"

"What do you think?" The young man chuckled and replied.

Lin Fei nodded, "Very well, if you want to snatch, then come over and try. Let me see if you have the ability to take it."

The young man didn’t move, not even a step, and said to Lin Fei, "You might not know who I am."

"You talk too much." Lin Fei chuckled lightly, "Of course, I don’t know you!"

Despite Lin Fei’s ridicule, the young man remained calm, saying to Lin Fei, "My name is Zhang Fan, and I am a disciple of the Qingyun Sect. I came today to borrow your Divine Artifact, and since you refuse, I can only take it by force."

"Hurry up then, let me see how strong you really are." Lin Fei was impatient; this young man was really annoying with his endless chatter.

"Alright, I’m making my move now, so be careful; my attacks are very fast!" Zhang Fan finished speaking and suddenly pointed at Lin Fei.

Whoosh!

A Light Sword shot out from Zhang Fan’s fingertip, flying directly at Lin Fei, who quickly dodged the attack and simultaneously swung a palm infused with Primordial Energy.

A black hand formed from Primordial Energy rushed towards Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan sneered, his body bursting with a brilliant green light, resembling an overwhelming and forceful river, while the black hand that Lin Fei swung shattered completely in the next moment.

"Righteous Demon-suppressing Sword!"

Zhang Fan shouted angrily, his hand hitting towards Lin Fei, as a giant sword condensed in the sky, slashing at Lin Fei directly and shredding the palm imprint sent out by Lin Fei.

Faced with the giant sword over ten meters long, Lin Fei raised his hand to the sky, and a gigantic black Fireball condensed and formed. This move was based on the cultivation technique from the Upper Realm, modified into a large Fireball that could condense rapidly and has very strong attack power. However, it had one disadvantage, which was its high consumption of Heaven and Earth Qi.

But Lin Fei was not afraid of consuming Heaven and Earth Qi, as he fully possessed it throughout his body. He threw the large Fireball at the giant sword, colliding with it.

The green light and black Fireball collided and devoured each other, and just then, a red light, like a red hot iron sword, pierced through the large Fireball and shot directly towards Lin Fei’s face.

"A sneak attack?"

Lin Fei sneered at him; it was evident that he was far from being a gentleman, using such attacks, and was very despicable.

Following this, he saw the giant Fireball and the green giant sword disappear into the sky, but Lin Fei hadn’t reacted when a fire-red light, after he dodged it, returned again and attacked the back of Lin Fei.

"Moon Blade!"

Lin Fei shouted, and the Moon Blade, with its blue light like the moon, appeared in his hand, then he slashed down at the weapon attacking from the opponent.

The Moon Blade, which had always been successful and invincible, transmitted a massive collision force this time, throwing Lin Fei off and making his arm numb.

Lin Fei didn’t expect this to happen; the Moon Blade was a Divine Artifact, always sharp beyond compare, so why did it fail this time?

A fiery light appeared in Zhang Fan’s hand, and Lin Fei then saw that the flaming thing was like a red-hot stick, with a black pearl at its tip—very strange indeed.

"You didn’t expect this? The thing in my hand is called the Fire Stick, a Demon Artifact I accidentally obtained. It recognizes its master just like your Divine Artifact, and they are of the same level, hence they cannot be separated in terms of victory or defeat—it just depends on the two of us."

Lin Fan explained the weapon in his hand, it turned out to be a Demon Artifact.

"What is a Demon Artifact?" Lin Fei asked, not expecting a response but genuinely wanting to know. After all, Divine Artifacts are so powerful, yet Demon Artifacts can match them, something Lin Fei had never heard of.

At this point, probably due to Zhang Fan’s good mood or for some other reason, he explained to Lin Fei, "A Demon Artifact absorbs Heaven and Earth Qi and evolves into a weapon on its own, which is a Demon Artifact, born in exactly the same way as a Divine Artifact. Hence, Demon Artifacts are the counterparts to Divine Artifacts. It’s said that there are as many Demon Artifacts as there are Divine Artifacts across the world, as a balance."

"Then what exactly is your purpose in finding me today?" Lin Fei asked in confusion, looking at this young man Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan thought for a moment, "I simply wanted to take a look at your Divine Artifact, nothing more. Although I have a Demon Artifact, I am someone from the Righteous Path of the Upper Realm, not of the Evil Path. Therefore, I want to see which is more powerful, the Demon Artifact or the Divine Artifact."

"You want to see whether the Righteous Path is stronger or the Demon Path, right?" Lin Fei guessed Zhang Fan’s thoughts; such people are very sensitive to both the Righteous Path and Demon Path, so Lin Fei could guess.

"That’s right, you could say that. So can you show me your Divine Artifact?" Zhang Fan asked again.

Lin Fei shook his head, "No, I don’t know you. I absolutely would not hand over my Divine Artifact to you."

"Then how about this: I give you my Demon Artifact for you to take a look at it, and you show me yours, the Divine Artifact—how about it? An equal exchange, there shouldn’t be any problem, right?" said the young man.

Lin Fei laughed, "Are you joking with me?"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Fan frowned and looked at Lin Fei.

Lin Fei laughed, "You said you were from the Righteous Path and proposed an exchange to view each other’s Divine and Demon Artifacts, but what if you snatched my Moon Blade? After all, Moon Blade is a weapon of the Righteous Path."

"Heh, are you sure it’s a weapon of the Righteous Path?" Young Zhang Fan chuckled, questioning Lin Fei.
