My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife

Chapter 1809: Sky-Breaking Halberd

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

The raggedy old man stared at Qingfeng Li with a hint of approval flashed briefly in his eyes. So quickly was it gone that on one had even noticed it, not even Qingfeng Li. This old man was far too powerful, and too mysterious, for anyone to sense his energy.

Smiling, the raggedy old man spoke, “You’re here to buy weapons, right?”

Qingfeng Li nodded.

“Yes,” he said, “I wish to buy a weapon. The demonic beast riot waves are coming, and I need a suitable weapon.”

The raggedy old man nodded.

“Wait a minute,” he said, “I’ll be right back.”

The raggedy old man stood up. Taking a step forward, he disappeared on the spot and appeared in the room at the back of the store. Inside, there was a hidden room, armed with many security measures. No one else could enter.

A moment later, the old man returned with a large halberd. The weapon was three meters long. It was black all over, but the material was difficult to discern. It seemed to have been forged from Black Crystal Steel, but at the same time, it resembled something forged from meteor stone.

The halberd’s handle was etched with all kinds of patterns, depicting beasts, plants, mountains, rivers, skies, clouds, and thunder. The head of the weapon was made in three segments, with two extremely sharp cutting edges.

The raggedy old man handed the halberd to Qingfeng Li. “This is the Sky-Breaking Halberd,” he said. “It’s the most prized treasure in this store. Five thousand years, it’s been, since it was last used... Now, I give it to you, free of charge. I hope you can use it to its full potential.”

Reaching out with his right hand, Qingfeng Li grasped the Sky-Breaking Halberd. Just as he took into his own hand, he felt a powerful force. Like a mountain, the halberd felt extremely heavy in his hand, so much so that his body nearly gave out under the weight. He fumbled to remain upright.

Qingfeng Li held the Sky-Breaking Halberd in both hands. Using every ounce of his strength, he activated his Mortal Purgatory Body, along with the Gold Dao Seed and the power of the Dragon Bone. Even then, he just barely managed to hold the Sky-Breaking Halberd up.

Qingfeng Li wore an expression of surprise, his eyes filled with disbelief. This Sky-Breaking Halberd was far too heavy. With Qingfeng Li’s current strength, he could smash through even a million-pound mountain. But now, he struggled to even keep a hold of this Sky-Breaking Halberd.

By his calculations, Qingfeng Li guessed that the Sky-Breaking Halberd weighed at least two million pounds. This was an absurd number, the equivalent of the weight of several mountains put together.

Only someone with a physique as strong as Qingfeng Li’s could hold such a weapon. If it were another in his place, they wouldn’t even be able to lift the halberd.

Most importantly, the Sky-Breaking Halberd appeared very inconspicuous. At a glance, it looked just like a normal halberd. No one would guess that it would be so heavy. It could definitely break bones if it hit a person, and a heavy blow might even reduce them to mincemeat.

The raggedy shopkeeper waved at him, saying, “You can leave. I hope that, in your hands, the Sky-Breaking Halberd can be used to its full power. One day, you will be proud of owning such a weapon.”

Qingfeng Li nodded. Bowing, he thanked the raggedy old man, then turned and left the store with his friends.

Beside him, Ya Yun asked, “Qingfeng Li, why didn’t you give him some vitality stones in exchange?”

Shaking his head, Qingfeng Li replied, “Lady Ya Yun, this is what you don’t understand. That Senior just now is a reclusive top-tier master. He wouldn’t care about any wealth, vitality stones or elixirs. He only wanted to find someone he liked, and I just happened to have been picked.”

The Sky Wolf Emperor nodded his agreement. He turned around, wanting to see the Black Lumen Stone Weapon Store again, but was struck by surprise. Behind him, the weapon store had disappeared.

Seeing the Sky Wolf Emperor’s surprise, Qingfeng Li also hurriedly turned and looked behind him, and saw that the Black Lumen Stone Weapon Store had indeed disappeared. Before them, was an empty space.

Qingfeng Li rubbed his eyes. “That’s impossible,” he said. “We just came out from that store. And the old man spoke to me. I sensed that he was a real person. It was definitely not an illusion.”

Using his spirit energy, Qingfeng Li sensed the space around them. He wanted to see if the raggedly old man had taken the weapon store and entered the void. However, he found nothing for his trouble.

Qingfeng Li, Mengyao Xu, Ya Yun, the Sky Wolf Emperor, Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, and the Emperor of Lingyun all stared in shock, as if they had just seen a ghost in broad daylight.

This was something they had never experienced before: right beside them, a weapon store had vanished without a warning. They hadn’t even felt anything.

With a thought, Qingfeng Li retrieved the Sky-Breaking Halberd from his interspatial ring. He felt its immense weight, nearly losing his grip.

“Qingfeng Li,” the Sky Wolf Emperor spoke, “your Sky-Breaking Halberd is still here. This means that everything we had just experienced was real. The raggedy old man must have been a top-tier master whose power is beyond our imagination. Appearing suddenly, then disappearing the same way, perhaps it was all in order to give the Sky-Breaking Halberd to you.”

Qingfeng Li nodded. “Perhaps,” he said. “Let’s hurry back to the inn. I need to figure out what kind of spiritual treasure this Sky-Breaking Halberd is. The demonic beast riot waves are coming, we have a lot of preparing to do.”

The group followed Qingfeng Li back to the inn, and Qingfeng Li returned to his room. Making sure the windows and doors were closed, he took out the Sky-Breaking Halberd and began swinging it around.

Because the Sky-Breaking Halberd weighed two million pounds, Qingfeng Li was exhausted after only a short while. Several times, he nearly failed to raise the halberd and almost fell onto the floor. It did, however, fall on his foot, leaving it stinging.

If it weren’t for Qingfeng Li’s skin being as tough as steel, his bones would have long since been broken. Even then, a bruise had formed, causing him great pain.

Struck by an idea, Qingfeng Li activated his spirit energy and closely examined the patterns on the Sky-Breaking Halberd. He wanted to see if there was some kind of hidden technique within them. But he found nothing, leaving him at a loss for words.

Was he going to be stuck using the Sky-Breaking Halberd as a heavy weapon?

Rumble, rumble, rumble...

Suddenly a series of thundering noises came from outside. The noises were loud, seeming to shake heaven and earth as they came from afar. The ground shook as if there was an earthquake. Even the space became unstable. It was like the end of the world.

All of the self-cultivators inside the inn came rushing out into the street. They stared off into the distance in confusion. There, they saw that the sky was covered in a thick blanket of black clouds and dust had been blown up from the ground. These were signs that a storm was coming.

Leading several hundred guards through the street on tall demon-horses, the Chief Commander of Emerald Lake City shouted, “All self-cultivators, go to the city walls! The demonic beast riot waves are coming. You must keep them at bay. Do not let them break into the city. Otherwise, everyone will die without question.”

Mengyao Xu, Ya Yun, and the others ran out from the inn as well. They gathered around Qingfeng Li, staring at the dark clouds in the sky in awe. They, too, sensed that these demonic beast riot waves were unusually powerful.
