My CEO Bai Fumei’s wife

Qin Yu did not answer him, but looked down at the Falling Moon Divine Bow in his hand, and then looked up at the eighteen golden-armored puppets behind Ouyang Lian.

"You're here to collect the bow, not to kill me."

"I'll kill you."

Ouyang Lian waved his feather fan lightly, as if he had heard a joke.

"You are not worthy of my personal action. I am a master of weapon crafting. I can leave such rough work as killing to my puppets."

"I have only one purpose in coming here: to retrieve the Moonfall Divine Bow and refine it anew, so that it may become a true divine object."

Qin Yu turned the bow around once, and the bowstring hummed.

"Do you think you can take the bow back from me?"

"feel."

With a flick of the feather fan, the eighteen golden-armored puppets moved simultaneously, their footsteps echoing across the ground with the sound of bones cracking.

"Blood Fiend, I admit that your combat strength is not bad. To be able to break out of the Elf Forest, you must be at least in the late Nascent Soul stage."

“But…” He took out a yellowed array diagram from his storage ring. The moment the array diagram unfolded, countless silver light spots flew out from the diagram and landed on the entire barren wasteland.

"Before my Magnetic Sealing Array, all your metal magical artifacts are nothing but scrap metal."

The moment the formation was activated, Qin Yu sensed something was amiss.

His Nine Dragons Sword suddenly became incredibly heavy, and the spirituality of the sword was suppressed by some kind of force, as if an invisible hand was pulling the hilt down.

The Purple Sun Divine Armor reacted even more violently. The armor, which was originally as light as a feather, now pressed down on his shoulders, making it feel like he was carrying a mountain with every step.

The Moonfall Divine Bow was no exception; the moonlight patterns on its body dimmed, and the spirit's emotions changed from excitement to irritability.

"Can you feel it?"

Ouyang Lian's voice was filled with overwhelming smugness.

"The Myriad Magnets Sealing Spirit Array is the culmination of my life's work, specifically designed to counter metal magical artifacts. Within this array, your divine armor is a burden, your sword is scrap metal, and that bow you just stole..."

His gaze fell on the Moonfall Divine Bow, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes.

"Once I retrieve it, I will refine it again, erase all traces you left behind, and restore it to its original form as an elven sacred object."

Qin Yu looked down at his divine armor. Silver light spots were dancing in the gaps between the armor plates, which was the power of the magnetic field eroding his defense.

Kui Wu and Zhu Zhen tried to rush up to help, but their feet were immediately bound by a golden chain.

A caged beast's chain.

That was a magic artifact specially crafted by Ouyang Lian to imprison demonic beasts, capable of sealing demonic beasts below the early Nascent Soul stage for twelve hours.

"Your helpers have been sealed off."

Ouyang Lian waved his feather fan again, and the eighteen golden-armored puppets began to shrink the encirclement.

"Blood Fiend, I'm giving you a choice."

"Put down the bow, kneel down and kowtow three times, and I might consider giving you a complete corpse."

Qin Yu did not answer him. His gaze swept over the eighteen golden-armored puppets and then landed on Ouyang Lian's face.

"Your puppet is quite well made."

"Of course, this is the culmination of my three hundred years of hard work. Each one can withstand the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm head-on."

"Your formation is quite interesting."

"That's natural. The Myriad Magnets Sealing Spirit Array is the Heavenly Craft Pavilion's signature technique, capable of suppressing even a Nascent Soul stage magic weapon for three breaths."

Qin Yu nodded, and then he did something that Ouyang Lian never expected.

He threw away the Nine Dragons Sword.

The sound of the sword hitting the ground was exceptionally clear in the silent wasteland. Ouyang Lian was stunned for a moment, and before he could react to what Qin Yu was doing, he saw Qin Yu begin to remove his divine armor.

One by one, the armor plates of the Purple Sun Divine Armor fell to the ground, and with each piece that fell, the pressure on Qin Yu lessened.

The last to fall was the Moonfall Divine Bow.

Qin Yu stood there empty-handed, wearing only a thin robe.

"What are you doing...?"

Ouyang Lian's voice was filled with confusion; he couldn't understand what Qin Yu was up to at all.

"I'm helping you."

"Help me."

"Didn't you want my bow? I've put it down, you can take it." Ouyang Lian frowned. He sensed something was wrong but couldn't quite put his finger on it. This Blood Fiend's behavior was completely illogical.

If a besieged person voluntarily lays down their weapon, it's either to surrender or it's a trap.

He had heard of Blood Fiend's reputation; how could such a person possibly surrender?

"I don't believe you don't have a backup plan."

"Of course I have a backup plan."

A smile appeared on Qin Yu's lips. He drew a circle in the air in front of him with his hand, and the True Dragon Qi within his body began to circulate.

"However, my backup plan has nothing to do with magic weapons."

The heaven-defying tribulation lightning surged from his dantian, and dark purple arcs of electricity danced on the surface of his body, each arc carrying the will to destroy everything.

Ouyang Lian's expression changed.

"The residual power of the Heaven-Defying Tribulation, why do you still keep such a thing?"

"I'm not just keeping it; I also plan to use it for weapon crafting."

After saying this, Qin Yu disappeared from the spot.

Ouyang Lian wanted to command the puppet to block, but Qin Yu was too fast, so fast that his divine sense could not even catch the afterimage.

In the next instant, Qin Yu was already standing next to that pile of magical artifacts.

He grabbed the Purple Sun Divine Armor, and the Heaven-Defying Tribulation Lightning poured into the armor plates from his palm, with dark purple arcs of electricity dancing wildly on the surface of the armor.

"You're crazy."

Ouyang Lian's voice became shrill.

"The Heaven-Defying Tribulation Lightning is a destructive force. Are you trying to destroy your magic weapon by infusing it with it?"

"Destroy it."

Qin Yu's smile grew even brighter.

"Who told you that the Heaven-Defying Tribulation Lightning can only be destroyed and not refined?"

With his other hand, he took out the ball of Wood Essence he had stolen from the Elf Forest from his storage ring. The golden-green light collided with the dark purple lightning arc, emitting a piercing hissing sound.

Ouyang Lian's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"You're mixing up thunder and fire with Yi wood; don't you understand the five elements' mutual restraint?"

"don't know."

Qin Yu's answer nearly made Ouyang Lian choke on his own saliva.

"I have never understood anything about the five elements and their mutual restraint. I only know one thing."

He forcibly incorporated the essence of Yi Wood into the plates of the Purple Sun Divine Armor, causing lightning arcs and vitality to collide wildly inside the armor, producing muffled thuds.

"No matter what kind of bullshit rules they are, as long as you have enough power, they are all bullshit."

Ouyang Lian was stunned. He had lived for five hundred years and spent three hundred years refining weapons, and he had never seen such an operation before.

Refining weapons requires following the grain of the material, slowly tempering it with earth fire, and carving it bit by bit with runes. This is an ironclad rule that the Heavenly Craft Pavilion has passed down for tens of thousands of years.

But what is Qin Yu doing now?

He was violently bombarding his magical artifact with heaven-defying lightning, forcibly mixing two completely opposing forces together.

This isn't weapon crafting; this is suicide.

However, what happened the next moment shattered Ouyang Lian's worldview.

The Purple Sun Divine Armor was not destroyed by the bombardment of thunder and fire.

It is being reborn.

The originally dark gold nail plates began to change color, first turning purplish-black, then purplish-gold, and finally a purple-jade color that was hard to describe.

Green lines appeared on the surface of the armor plates. These lines were not carved on, but grew from inside the armor, spreading throughout the entire suit of armor like blood vessels.

The silver light spots of the Magnetic Sealing Array were instantly absorbed by the green patterns upon contact with the newly formed divine armor.

It wasn't just absorbing; the green patterns on the divine armor were also extending outwards, gradually drawing away the spiritual energy from the surrounding golden-armored puppets.

"This is impossible."

Ouyang Lian's voice trembled; he had no idea what was going on.

"Wood and thunder are incompatible; if you mix them together, they should explode into dust, not produce this effect." (End of Chapter)
