2049 Willing to Give It a Try
Clang!
The ear-piercing sound of sharp weapons colliding could be heard.
Everyone held their breaths and looked over.
However, Wei Ze’s expression quickly changed from smugness to shock and confusion. In the end, there was only disbelief!
In front of him, the Sharp-Edged Halberd was pressed against the blood-red stone but nothing moved!
He widened his eyes in shock, almost unable to believe what he was seeing. Then, he exerted strength again and stabbed forward!
However, nothing changed. Not even a single mark was left on the stone!
This so-called door… had no intention of opening at all!
Because he used too much strength, a dull pain came from his thumb and index finger. But at this moment, Wei Ze had no time to care. How could this be… How could this be?!
The power of the Sharp-Edged Halberd had already been completely awakened. The buzzing sound from the strange stone in front of him was still coming. However, it just couldn’t be opened!
“Family Head, what’s going on?” At that moment, the surrounding crowd also realized that something was wrong. They looked at each other in confusion and doubt.
Wei Ze was embarrassed.
He tried to put away the Sharp-Edged Halberd, and there was indeed no mark on the stone. However, that sound didn’t disappear.
In fact… the bronze door knocker was still being gently knocked by the wind!
When he saw all of this, Wei Ze’s heart sank, and his face turned pale. To think that I thought that these movements were caused by me. In the end… they weren’t at all!
When the surrounding crowd saw this scene, what else did they not understand?
“What’s going on? Isn’t this Sharp-Edged Halberd a holy weapon refined by Tang Ke? Why can’t it even be opened?”
“This thing can’t be fake, right…”
“Considering the commotion just now, the thing must be real. It’s also true that it can’t open this door.”
“Ha! It turns out that this method doesn’t work either? The family head really worked for nothing…”
Everyone started discussing in low voices.
All sorts of words reached Wei Ze’s ears, causing his heart to be in turmoil. His temples throbbed as if a ball of fire was about to surge out of his chest!
Ridicule! Disdain!
Those gazes made him feel as if there was a blade on his back.
His entire body was stiff as he stood rooted to the ground. His mind was blank, but it also seemed to be extremely chaotic. Everything was clearly going very smoothly. How could… If even the holy weapon that Tang Ke refined himself can’t open this tomb, then… Who else in this world can do this?
“That’s not right…” Shangguan Jing frowned and muttered softly as he stared ahead.
The few of them looked over. “What’s wrong?”
Shangguan Jing raised his chin. “Wei Ze didn’t move, but the movement on the stone hasn’t stopped.”
The others were also stunned by his observation.
Upon closer inspection, they realized that it was indeed the case.
“Perhaps… Tang Ke’s tomb sensed the existence of the Sharp-Edged Halberd and caused this commotion. However, we still can’t open it with Wei Ze’s own strength?” someone guessed.
Shangguan Jing didn’t speak. He still felt that something was wrong.
This suspicion gradually rose when he saw the scene in front of him. If the Sharp-Edged Halberd could trigger these movements, why can’t the door be opened?
“Family Head, could it be that you’re not strong enough to open it?” someone in the crowd finally raised his voice and asked.
These words were a little unpleasant. He was just short of saying that it was because Wei Ze was incompetent.
However, the current Wei Ze had no way to refute.
He suddenly sneered and turned to look at the person who spoke. He handed over the Sharp-Edged Halberd in his hand. “If you have the confidence, why don’t you try it yourself?”
Everyone was shocked. They didn’t expect him to have such a reaction.
That person was stunned for a moment before snorting. “The family head really likes to joke. This Sharp-Edged Halberd is a holy weapon. Once it recognizes one as master, it can’t be used anymore. Are you saying this on purpose to embarrass—”
“This Sharp-Edged Halberd has yet to recognize one as master!”
Wei Ze’s words instantly caused the scene to fall into dead silence! All the noisy discussions disappeared at this moment!
Countless pairs of eyes looked at him in shock as if they were doubting the authenticity of his words.
Wei Ze sneered. “At this moment, there’s no need for me—Wei Ze—to lie. If anyone present doesn’t believe me, you can come forward and try it yourself! Since everyone thinks that I, Wei Ze, am not capable enough, then… I might as well hand this thing over. Whoever can use this Sharp-Edged Halberd to open Tang Ke’s tomb, I’ll speak out my ‘admiration!’”
“As long as anyone has the ability to make the Sharp-Edged Halberd recognize one as master and obtain all the items in Tang Ke’s tomb, I—Wei Ze—will have no objections!” As he spoke, he flicked his wrist and actually threw that thing forward!
The Sharp-Edged Halberd floated quietly in the air.
Countless streaks of dazzling light tempered by lightning were still flickering on it, exuding a mighty pressure.
Many people looked at each other.
Such a temptation wasn’t small! But…
After all, Wei Ze was the head of the Wei family, a royal Armory Refinement Master, and a legendary warrior. With such strength, he was definitely considered one of the best among these people.
If even Wei Ze couldn’t do it, how many people present could try?
Even the person who had mocked him earlier was a little hesitant. His strength wasn’t much different from Wei Ze’s. If he couldn’t go forward at this moment, wouldn’t… Wouldn’t that be embarrassing?
Wei Ze looked around and sneered in his heart.
He was the closest, so he knew very well that the commotion inside wasn’t caused by the Sharp-Edged Halberd at all! It would be the same for anyone who came!
“This matter is rather interesting. This old man is willing to give it a try.”
