My Runes Can Be Upgraded

Chapter 1009: Cooperation

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

About 50 miles outside the city.

Wu Wei and the little old man stood facing each other, separated by a distance of over a hundred meters.

At this moment, Wu Wei’s expression was somewhat dumbfounded.

The main thing was that he didn’t expect the old man to really bring him out of the city and put on a stance as if he wanted to fight with him.

What was he after?

Wu Wei was not sure!

However, Wu Wei knew what he should do now!

“City Lord, I’m sorry!”

As Wu Wei spoke, the [Flood Dragon Flag] appeared in his hand and he waved it casually.

Level 8 Dragon Elephant Dao Soldiers, all in position!

Seeing the 1555 Dragonesque Elephant Dao Soldiers appear beside Wu Wei, the little old man was clearly stunned. Then, a smile appeared on his face and he waved at Wu Wei!

“Go!”

With Wu Wei’s order, the Dragon Elephant Dao Soldier activated [Three Dragons and Three Elephants] and [Crash Through the South Wall], turning into a flood and crashing towards the short and round old man.

“Boom!”

The moment the Dragon Elephant Dao Soldier charged over, a layer of flames appeared on the little old man’s body.

The flames were only a few centimeters thick, but they were extremely terrifying. The Dragon Elephant Dao Soldiers were instantly annihilated when they collided with the flames!

However, in the face of death, the Dragon Elephant Dao Soldiers were unafraid of death.

One by one, they crashed into the thin layer of flames with their lives.

Thousands of lives were used to crush the flames.

The moment the flames shattered.

Ah Huang’s figure appeared out of thin air.

“Dragon Elephant Golden Body!”

With a soft shout, Ah Huang’s entire body turned golden, and traces of scales could be vaguely seen on its skin.

In this gorgeous transformation, Ah Huang clenched his fist and punched out in a seemingly ordinary manner!

For this punch, Ah Huang used the [Ancient Bull Fist] and the power of 13 Origin Talismans, including [Hate the Sky, No Ring, Hate the Earth, No Handle].

The moment he struck out, Ah Huang’s punch was amplified by hundreds of times!

The power of this punch had already surpassed the punch that Wu Wei had used to defeat He Ying.

Even the little old man in front of him could not help but look sideways when he saw him punch out.

At the same time that Ah Huang threw this punch, he turned his body into flames, negating 99% of Ah Huang’s strength.

At the same time that the little old man negated Ah Huang’s attack, the Dragon Elephant Dao Soldier activated the Level 2 Little Four Nine Formation. The four Little Four Nine Formations fused into one and suppressed the little old man.

Following that, behind Ah Huang, Ling’s light flashed. A mark on Ah Huang’s body lit up, and in an instant, Ah Huang and Wu Wei switched positions.

The moment his position changed, Wu Wei immediately activated the Dao protection function of the Heavenly Book of Peace and took out the Endless Beehive.

He threw out all 500,000 self-destructing bees in one go.

“Explode!”

Wu Wei shouted.

500,000 Self-Destructing Spiritual Bees self-destructed at this moment!

“Boom!”

An earth-shattering explosion resounded through the heavens and earth, and in an instant, a flame soared into the sky.

The power of the self-detonation of 500,000 Level 7 perfect-grade Dao Soldiers completely erupted at this moment.

The terrifying power turned the surrounding area into a blazing inferno. The most dangerous area was the area within a kilometer of Wu Wei. The Dragonesque Elephant Dao Soldiers were completely vaporized, leaving not a single one behind.

However, even such an attack could not kill the little old man.

After the explosion, the little old man’s figure appeared once again. He was basically unscathed!

Wu Wei raised his hands.

“It’s almost time. I’ve already used all my strength. If I can’t defeat you with this, I don’t think there’s any need for me to struggle anymore!”

Wu Wei’s straightforwardness made the little old man on the opposite side a little confused.

It was like participating in a slapping competition. The opponent came up and gave two slaps. When you wanted to counterattack, the other party surrendered.

Although you won, the little old man still felt a little uncomfortable.

“You’re not going to fight anymore? Aren’t you going to try my methods?”

“No need, no need!”

Wu Wei was especially determined. He had used all his methods but could not do anything to the other party. If he really let the other party try, wouldn’t he die?

Although the little old man was a little uncomfortable with Wu Wei’s behavior of running away after a fight, he had no intention of grabbing Wu Wei and fighting him.

He glanced in the direction of Flame City.

“The commotion you caused just now was a little big. That girl has already brought people over to check. Let’s go back first!”

“Yes, sir!”

Then, the little old man pulled Wu Wei along and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

Not long after they left, Edith brought her men to the battlefield. Looking at the mess on the ground, Edith was dumbfounded.

Especially at the center of Wu Wei’s self-destruction, Agares stood there and imagined the scene of the power explosion. She could not help but feel her scalp tingle.

If she had encountered an outburst of that level, she would have died without a doubt.

This was definitely the explosive power of a second-grade Dao Stepping Stage cultivator. In Flame City, only her father had reached this level.

“Could it be that it was father who was here just now?

Then who is he fighting?”

Flame City, inside the City Lord’s Mansion.

Wu Wei was led by the little old man to a study in the City Lord’s Mansion.

“Sit anywhere!”

As the little old man spoke, he opened a bookshelf in his study room as if he was going to take something. However, after opening it, he frowned and shook his head.” This girl took my wine again. However, I still have more!”

As the old man spoke, he turned his head and twisted his bookshelf. A bookshelf opened and a cold wine cabinet opened.

The little old man took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet and opened it. He took out two glasses and handed one to Wu Wei.

“Try it. It’s my collection. Although it’s only legend-quality, it tastes pretty good!”

Wu Wei didn’t stand on ceremony either. He took it and downed it in one gulp, showing his boldness!

But soon, Wu Wei regretted it.

The main reason was that although the wine was cold when it entered his mouth, it became colder the further it went into his stomach.

When it reached his abdomen, the coldness reached its peak. Wu Wei felt that he was almost frozen.

At this moment, after the extreme coldness, the wine gave off a hint of warmth.

This warmth made Wu Wei feel as if the earth had returned to spring. It was indescribably warm and comfortable.

However, the flames quickly heated up. Wu Wei’s entire face turned red as if he had been ignited.

After a long time, Wu Wei finally recovered!

“How is it?”

The little old man came over after Wu Wei recovered and asked with anticipation.

“Very good!”

Wu Wei nodded his head vigorously. “This wine is the most unique one I’ve ever tasted. It’s warm in the cold winter. The warm sun is like fire, and the flames burn me. It feels wonderful!

Do you have any more? If you have it, I’ll shamelessly ask for a bottle. One of my big brothers is also a good drinker. I’ll bring it back for him to try!”

When the little old man heard this, he raised his head and glanced at Wu Wei.

Of course, he understood the meaning behind Wu Wei’s words. He could come and go as he pleased in Flame City!

“Yes, when you go back later, I’ll give you all my wine cellar!”

“I’ll give you everything in Fire City,” the old man continued. “Don’t mention the wine cellar.”

The little old man’s words made Wu Wei frown. He raised his head and looked at the little old man. Thinking back to the little old man’s behavior today, Wu Wei vaguely guessed a possibility.

On the other side, the little old man continued to drink his wine, “A few days ago, I never felt that there was anything wrong with this world.

Why have I never thought of leaving Flame City?

Why could there only be one second-grade Dao-Stepping Stage in this world?

Why could there only be one totem, iron-quality existence?

Until a few days ago, when I caught those seven people!”

As soon as the little old man said this, Wu Wei immediately knew that his guess was correct.

Undoubtedly, this little old man was the same as Zhang Jiao in the Origin Secret Realm of the Eastern Han Dynasty. They had seen through some things. In Zhang Jiao’s words, they had seen through their own destiny.

He had a new understanding of his own existence.

“While interrogating them, I discovered something that I shouldn’t have discovered.

Sometimes, knowing too much was not a good thing.

If I hadn’t discovered those things that I shouldn’t have discovered, I would have been very happy and carefree now. But after I discovered those things, I couldn’t be happy anymore.”

The little old man didn’t say it out loud, or maybe he couldn’t say it out loud, just like how Wu Wei couldn’t say something about the [False God Seal].

However, he didn’t need to say it out loud. Wu Wei understood what the little old man meant.

“So? So what are you going to do?”

“I want to be as free as a bird!”

The little old man looked at Wu Wei, and the emotion in his eyes was very obvious.

Wu Wei could understand it, but he shook his head.

“Not now!”

The little old man added, “I know what you’re doing. I can help you. I can provide you with any convenience you need.

In the entire Flame City, if you wanted people, I would give them to you. If you wanted resources, I would give them to you.

Without reservation!”

The little old man offered a condition that Wu Wei couldn’t refuse. Wu Wei was instantly moved.

“I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to help you!” Wu Wei still looked into the little old man’s eyes and said word by word.

“I know what to do!”

The little old man nodded heavily.

“In that case!”

Wu Wei paused for a moment. Then, he picked up the wine bottle and filled his glass. Then, he raised the glass in front of the little old man.

“Pleasure working with you!” The little old man smiled.

A crisp sound of wine glasses clinking rang out. Wu Wei and the little old man had become allies under a tacit understanding.

Then, he downed the wine in his glass.

Ten minutes later, the little old man left the study room and left the large study room in front of him to Wu Wei.

On Wu Wei’s side, after watching the old man leave, he began to study the talismans of the [False God’s Mark],

After cooperating with the old man, Wu Wei didn’t need to hide anymore. He directly released the little elf and her little cuties. With their help, Wu Wei only used a little more than a day to fully understand the 76 talismans.

At this moment, Wu Wei had already grasped 112 talismans, which was almost one-third of the talismans on the periphery of the [False God’s Mark]!

But Wu Wei knew that this was far from enough!
