Chapter 2197 Mission Settlement
Generally, if a Taoist weapon holder wants to improve his or her own protection, that is simple. Just wear a protective Taoist weapon. Like magic weapons, Taoist weapons are divided into offensive and defensive types. But relatively speaking, the number of protective Taoist weapons is extremely small, so their value is much higher.

Take the material exchange list of the War Merit Hall for example. When the Alliance Guard level reaches Silver Guard, it is eligible to exchange for Taoist weapons, but the Taoist weapons that can be exchanged are only offensive ones. Only in the exchange list of Gold Guard will one or two protective ones appear occasionally, and the increase they can provide is not too great.

This phenomenon seems to be caused by the fact that it is more difficult to refine protective Taoist weapons.

Lu Ye is now using the power of fourteen to bombard the opponent's protective force, which will naturally be broken.

As the hammer fell, Lu Ye keenly noticed that the opponent's protective force was not just nine, but about eleven. This undoubtedly showed that the Zerg was wearing a protective Taoist weapon, and the extra two protective forces should be the amplification of the Taoist weapon.

The Zerg realized something was wrong and tilted his head at the critical moment. The hammer hit his shoulder hard, causing his arm to collapse.

At the same time, the short blade in the Zerg's hand broke through Lu Ye's defense and pierced into his body.

The Zerg's attack was aimed at Lu Ye's heart. If it hit, Lu Ye would at least be seriously injured. But it was not known whether it was a coincidence or something else, but the Zerg's attack was deviated by the heavy blow of Lu Ye's hammer, and it did not go as he wished, and the short blade pierced Lu Ye's ribs.

In a brief confrontation, both the enemy and our side were injured.

The Zerg's cold eyes flickered, and he lost his previous determination, because he found that the human in front of him was different from all the people he had met before...

He pulled away and tried to retreat, but Lu Ye had already raised his left hand and grabbed his wrist!

The Zerg was shocked and when he looked up, he met Lu Ye's cold eyes.

The short hammer was raised high again, and the power of Taoism surged.

The Zerg found themselves in a dilemma due to a careless move!
If he escapes now, his Taoist weapon will be lost. Without the Taoist weapon, he will no longer be qualified to fight against the enemy in front of him. But if he does not escape in time, his life will be in danger!

Without time to think, he suddenly exerted force with his big hand holding the short blade, trying to break free from Lu Ye's grip.

In his opinion, this was a very simple matter, because with the power of the Taoist weapon he could unleash fourteen forces, while Lu Ye's left hand could only unleash nine at most.

As he struggled violently, the short blade stirred wildly in Lu Ye's body, but he remained calm. Instead, he showed a weird smile to the Zerg in front of him.

The Zerg was extremely shocked because he could not get rid of Lu Ye's control. The power coming from the other party's left hand was more than nine!

The second blow of the short hammer came down, carrying with it fourteen impacts, breaking half of the Zerg's shoulder. Also broken was a protective weapon that the Zerg was wearing, which looked like chain mail!

The biggest problem with Taoist weapons is that they are not strong enough. Lu Ye discovered this when he killed the Sharp Claw Vampire for the first time. It was okay when it was blessed by Taoist power, but without the blessing of Taoist power, no matter what quality the Taoist weapon was, it would be like porcelain.

Lu Ye's hammer broke the opponent's defense, and even the chain mail was destroyed.

Under normal circumstances, the Zerg would have been so distressed that he would vomit blood, but at this moment, he had no time to care about any Taoist weapon. He himself was already seriously injured, and being clamped like this, he could not break free and was afraid that he would die here.

At the critical moment, he acted decisively, raised his other hand, twisted the arm that was caught, and directly removed one arm.

With this as the price, he finally regained his freedom.

How could he dare to stay there? He wanted to escape immediately.

However, Lu Ye had already swung his third hammer. Having suffered losses in the previous two times, this time he did not strike vertically, but swept horizontally.

The Zerg was just about to flee when a powerful blow shattered its head.

The headless corpse couldn't stop eating.

Lu Ye then turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood, then pulled out the short blade that had pierced his ribs, and blood spurted out.

After thinking carefully about his response just now and making sure that there were no major problems, he quickly packed up the spoils.

It's ridiculous to say that he, an entry into the Dao with nearly 40 Dao powers, has to spend so much effort to kill an enemy with only 14 Dao powers...

But there was nothing that could be done because of the presence of the Zerg Queen. Although there was no definite evidence, Lu Ye was almost certain that when he was fighting with the Zerg just now, the Zerg Queen must have been observing him with the help of that Zerg's vision.

But he did not reveal any flaws from beginning to end. In the eyes of the Insect Queen, he should be just a very crazy human with rich combat experience.

The death of that Zerg was largely due to carelessness, otherwise a powerful Fourteenth would not have been killed so quickly.

After a few breaths, Lu Ye left the place and found a place nearby to rest.

The injury was not serious and could even be ignored for him.

While healing his wounds, Lu Ye took out his alliance guard order, thought for a while, and then sent out a message.

It was enough for him to have one Taoist weapon just for show, there was no need to keep it any longer, so the short blade seized this time had to be disposed of eventually.

The best way is of course to sell it to those aristocratic families. Aristocratic families have no shortage of general Taoist weapons, but no one would think having too many high-quality Taoist weapons like this would be a problem.

The Yan family is his only choice right now.

I just don't know whether Yan Hong is in seclusion. Yan Yong said last time that Yan Hong is resonating with the ant recently. Lu Ye is not sure what the specific situation is. He only guesses that this resonance may allow Yan Hong and the ant to better fit and exert stronger power.

After the message was sent, there was a response soon: "Brother Lu, what's the matter?"

Lu Ye didn't waste any words and got straight to the point: "I have a top-grade Taoist weapon in my hand, which I just seized. I heard that you noble families are interested in purchasing it."

"Brother Lu is amazing!" Although he couldn't see the person, Lu Ye could almost imagine his look of admiration. Enemies with top-grade Taoist weapons were not easy to kill. Even he was not sure of victory at the beginning. He never thought that Lu Ye actually seized one.

"My Yan family does have the intention to purchase a top-grade Dao weapon. If Brother Lu is willing, I will take charge of the purchase of Nine Hundred Dao Bones."

The price was one hundred bones more than what Lu Ye knew. This was obviously a friendly price given by Yan Hong because of their friendship.

Of course Lu Ye was happy to do so: "I am at Yunshan War Star. Brother Yan can send someone to take over from me."

"I'll give the order right away, but Brother Lu, do you want my Yan family to pay the 900 Dao bones all at once, or in installments?"

When asking this question, Yan Hong was also considering Lu Ye, because nine hundred Dao Bones were too many and no one could refine them in a short time, which would cause unnecessary waste.

It’s different if we divide it into batches. If we provide a portion to Lu Ye every month, he can refine it comfortably, and the Yan family can also raise the money slowly.

"Just once." Lu Ye replied, "I joined Falcon, and I need to share these Dao bones with others."

"Brother Lu also joined the Falcon? With Brother Lu's ability, he has a bright future."

"Brother Yan, could it be..." Lu Ye's heart moved.

"I'm Long Ying!" Yan Hong replied, "What's Brother Lu's code name?"

The good code name was snatched away by people like you!

"How many days will it take for the Yan family to come over?" Lu Ye changed the subject.

"At least three days, at most five days. I will contact Brother Lu then."

After finishing the message with Yan Hong, Lu Ye took out the Taoist bone he had seized before and began to refine it.

It would take a few days to wait, so he was not in a hurry to return to Spruce War Star. He would wander around outside and maybe gain some knowledge.

After a few days, we arrived at the Yunshan Battle Star and the Battle Merit Hall.

Lu Ye walked in, looked around, and went straight to a corner.

This place is similar to Lanshui's. There is a table. A young woman is sitting behind the table. When she saw Lu Yexing coming, she stood up quickly and said, "Hello, Brother Dao."

Lu Ye raised his hand and threw his Falcon Order on the table: "Settlement of the task!"

There is no substantial reward for settling the mission on Falcon's side, but if you don't settle it, you won't be able to take on the next mission.

The woman quickly picked up the Falcon Order, checked it out, and revealed a look of understanding: "So it's Brother Owl, please wait a moment, the level of the mission you accepted is..." As she spoke, the woman's eyes widened, and she looked up at Lu Ye in disbelief, and asked uncertainly: "Red?"

Few people would accept red missions, and even if they did, they might not be able to complete them, because the goal of every red mission was to reach the top level, which was impossible for an ordinary falcon to complete.

She has been here for several years, and this is the first time that someone has come to settle a red-level mission. Moreover, according to the mission records, this owl accepted the mission not long ago, less than ten days ago.

After calming herself down, the woman asked, "Excuse me, brother, did the mission fail or was it completed?"

This needs to be verified.

"Done." As Lu Ye spoke, he handed the short blade weapon and a storage ring to the other party.

The woman picked up the storage ring and checked it. There was nothing else inside, only the broken body of the Zerg. She then checked the short blade and found it matched the record.

"The situation has been basically verified and the mission is completed." The woman respectfully handed Lu Ye's things back, then picked up her falcon order and did something with it, obviously to cancel the previous mission.

When she finished her work and looked up again, Lu Ye had disappeared.

Outside the War Merit Hall, Lu Ye had just walked out when a man hurriedly came towards him. He looked at him and asked, "Is this Brother Lu Ye?"

Lu Ye glanced at him and nodded: "From the Yan family?"

The visitor clasped his fists and said, "Yan Xiaowu greets fellow Daoist. I am here on the orders of Brother Yan Hong to take over from fellow Daoist Lu."

"Yan Hong is your brother?"

"Cousin." Yan Xiaowu smiled.

Lu Ye nodded slightly. Of course he knew that a big family like the Yan family had many branches and leaves, but being able to represent Yan Hong to take over the meeting with him must be highly valued by Yan Hong.
