The Top Sui Meng, Is This All You've Got?

Making money wasn't shameful! Yang Shan still had plenty of ways to get premium purple weapons.

Besides, in at most half a month, their drop rate would begin to rise.

In a month, he could even buy them directly with Spirit Stones at any blacksmith shop in any city! And what did one million RMB mean? An apartment in a fourth-tier city!

If he let this deal slip by, Yang Shan would feel like he had let himself down.

But Wang Tianhao's mouth was already twitching.

He had only wanted to show off how wealthy he was, but he had accidentally gotten carried away.

Once he calmed down and thought about it, something was obviously wrong.

He had money, but he wasn't an idiot! In any game, items of even slightly higher quality were extremely rare right after launch.

But they also lost their value quickly! Wang Tianhao's family had enough money to pile into a mountain.

The company controlled by his father ranked among the top ten in XZ City in terms of output value!

One million was merely Wang Tianhao's basic monthly spending.

Losing it was no big deal.

But Wang Tianhao would not allow himself to spend one million on something idiotic!

So, Wang Tianhao did something even more idiotic:

"Friend, I've been polite enough while talking to you. I hope you know what's good for you. That one million was just a joke. One hundred thousand—this is the price I consider absolutely reasonable. Sell me the blade!"

The smile on Wang Tianhao's face gradually faded.

"You don't want... to be killed back to the Novice Realm, do you?"

As soon as Wang Tianhao finished speaking, the twenty-odd Players behind him viciously drew their weapons.

In Battle Through the Heavens, when Players died, there was a certain chance that they would drop the equipment on them or items from their Storage Rings.

Theoretically, they could kill a Player back to the city, then camp the city gates and kill them every time they left.

As long as they died enough times, sooner or later, all the items on them would drop.

Wang Tianhao felt that he had overwhelming numbers and every possible advantage. He could completely ignore the rules and do whatever he wanted.

Little did he know that Yang Shan had only tried to persuade him a few more times because he found it troublesome and could not be bothered to fight.

But some people simply refused to listen, believing everything was under their control.

The moment Wang Tianhao's greed arose, there was not much room left for compromise.

Wang Shao said, "Friend, I don't have much of a temper. If you won't sell it, I really will make a move. Think carefully!"

Since the pretense had been torn apart, Yang Shan no longer bothered being polite. "Actually, my temper isn't very good either."

Yang Shan's words completely enraged Wang Tianhao.

"Damn it, you're wasting my time. I'm done pretending! Kill this bastard and send him back to Cloud Frost City!"

That phrase, "I'm done pretending," silently earned Wang Tianhao the label of a hypocritical scumbag in Yang Shan's mind.

The instant Wang Shao finished shouting, one of his lackeys drew his sword and charged at Yang Shan.

"You blind fool, how dare you go against our Young Wang? Watch me kill you!"

A faint layer of Dou Qi appeared over the sword.

He had clearly used a Dou Technique, though its rank was probably not high.

Yang Shan took half a step back with his left foot and turned sideways, elegantly dodging the thrust.

"You want to be the first bird out of the nest, huh?"

The Refined Frost Blade flashed from its sheath.

With a swish, the lackey who had stepped forward first was directly beheaded.

That lackey was only a Two-Star Fighter. Even wearing ordinary Standard Inner Armor, his defense would not exceed 20 points.

Yang Shan was now an Eight-Star Fighter. There was a certain level suppression between them, and his attack power was already over a hundred. He could break through the man's defense however he swung.

The throat was also a fatal weak point.

Killing him in one strike was only natural!

But it was precisely that instant kill that made Wang Tianhao even more determined to get the Refined Frost Blade.

"All of you, get him! You must kill him for me!"

They were all Fighters, so why could Yang Shan pull off instant kills?

Once the Refined Frost Blade dropped, Wang Tianhao could pull off instant kills too!

"Oh, there's something I forgot to mention. My laugh is a little special."

Even as he spoke, Yang Shan's hands did not stop moving. He took the initiative, backhanding another of Wang Tianhao's lackeys and slashing him to the ground.

Then Yang Shan looked at Wang Tianhao with a mocking expression.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

Xiao Ji, standing nearby, could not take it anymore. He drew his blade and swung it.

"Jie Jie Jie my ass! You think you're from the Soul Hall?"

Xiao Ji was clearly on a different level from Wang Tianhao's other men.

In Shun Huo Nuan, Xiao Ji was Wang Tianhao's number-one lackey. He could reach extremely high ranks in many esports games.

That was why Wang Tianhao had focused on nurturing him.

Xiao Ji's long blade and inner armor were both ordinary standard equipment bearing Blue Word Seals.

This was already the highest-grade equipment currently available at the Marketplaces in the various cities.

A single piece cost 580 Spirit Stones!

With the Spirit Stone income of mainstream Players at present, it was impossible to gather that much in such a short time.

Wang Tianhao had simply waved his hand and bought a large amount of Spirit Stones from the Player Auction House, finally outfitting both himself and Xiao Ji.

Not only that, Xiao Ji had also learned a Yellow-Rank Intermediate Dou Technique, Collapsing Blade Slash.

However, this Dou Technique only bore a Green Word Seal, so its power boost was truly limited.

They both used blades.

But Xiao Ji's blade skills were far inferior to Yang Shan's.

Three consecutive slashes were all accurately read by Yang Shan, who dodged them with ease.

Xiao Ji was somewhat more troublesome than Wang Tianhao's other lackeys.

Mainly because Yang Shan did not dare let Xiao Ji hit him.

Xiao Ji had reached the Four-Star Fighter level.

He had clearly left the Novice Realm and rapidly accumulated experience by farming First-Order Elite Magical Beasts.

Defense was Yang Shan's weak point. Even this Xiao Ji before him could definitely break his defense.

Xiao Ji saw Yang Shan's flashy footwork and watched several attacks fail to achieve anything.

So Xiao Ji retreated some distance, gathered Dou Qi, and prepared to unleash Collapsing Blade Slash.

But unfortunately, this Dou Technique took a little too long to charge.

When experts clashed, the greatest taboo was using a Dou Technique that needed time to charge while the opponent retained complete freedom of movement.

Such Dou Techniques might be powerful, but if the opponent seized the timing to counterattack, it would become a very troublesome matter.

Thus, although Xiao Ji finished gathering his Dou Qi, his head had also left his neck.

Collapsing Blade Slash came to nothing.

Watching Xiao Ji's corpse turn into a streak of white light, Yang Shan shook his head.

"Shun Huo Nuan's top Sui Meng? Is this all you've got?"

Xiao Ji's corpse refreshed, but his blade did not disappear with it! Yang Shan's eyes lit up as he looked at the long blade on the ground.

Well, well.

Xiao Ji's luck was truly terrible. He dropped his blade after dying just once! This was the highest-grade standard equipment with a Blue Word Seal sold at the Marketplace.

Even selling it back to the system would fetch 300 Spirit Stones!

With a flick of his foot, Yang Shan kicked the long blade into the air, caught it steadily in his hand, and then stored it in his Storage Ring.

Wang Tianhao's eyes were bloodshot. "What are you still standing around for? Get him! Take back Xiao Ji's equipment!"

Yang Shan was completely unafraid.

In his eyes, these twenty-odd people were practically equivalent to a pile of trash.

As long as he took care not to be hit too many times, Yang Shan could rely on his formidable attack power and flashy footwork to send this group of Players back to Cloud Frost City sooner or later!

Just as Yang Shan was about to begin a slaughter, a powerful roar came from the distance.

"Fuck! Where did this bunch of little punks come from, daring to mess with a Great God? Great God, don't panic! I, Chao Bafang, have come to repay your favor!"

Chao Bafang had just finished turning in his quest and arrived in time to see Wang Tianhao's group surrounding and attacking Yang Shan.

Chao Bafang had just gotten the weapon he wanted and had not even tested it yet! He had only completed the quest thanks to Yang Shan.

When a friend was in trouble, he had to help! Chao Bafang charged over with a long halberd taller than himself, roaring, "Take my halberd!"

PS:

This old hand has started a new book and shamelessly asks all you generous patrons for continued reading.

Simply put, continued reading refers to how many readers finish the latest chapter within twenty-four hours of its release.

For details, please check the book review section.

This metric determines everything during a new book's free period.

Especially the continued-reading data on Monday and Tuesday.

This book has actually been rather unlucky.

It was originally about to advance, but then a big shot suddenly arrived and pushed it out.

But Tian Kong was unwilling to let this book disappear just like that.

So I pulled myself together, optimized the plot, and started again.

I know many Dou Emperors have the habit of stockpiling chapters. If you think this book is decent, I hope you great ones can temporarily refrain from stockpiling it.

Some books really do disappear while readers are stockpiling them.

If this book successfully advances and gets listed, Tian Kong will work himself to the bone for the first half-month and update ten thousand words daily so that all you generous patrons can read to your hearts' content, alright?

I beg you! I will not mention asking for continued reading in the main text again, and I will also reduce chapter comments as much as possible so as not to interfere with your reading experience. (Tips excluded!) All Dou Emperors are welcome to leave more comments. Tian Kong will make time to read them every day and reply as appropriate.
