My eyes turned steely as I thought to myself: Didn’t the Purple Thunder Battle Axe go to Pillar of the Nation? So why was it in Dominating Heaven Blade’s hands now? How could he gift a super weapon that cost him 2.5 million to obtain to another person just like that? Or maybe he dropped it after Dominating Heaven Blade killed him?

……

I pointed my sword at Pillar of the Nation. “How generous of you to gift the Purple Thunder Battle Axe to someone else.”

Pillar of the Nation laughed. “If I could buy a friend and an ally who will give their life to protect me for an axe, why wouldn’t I do that?”

I hid my gaze. Gods of Destruction had joined forces with Hegemon Palace!

Dominating Heaven Blade was an outstanding Chinese expert. Although he wasn’t able to enter the CGL Hall of Fame, he was still a noteworthy opponent with first-rate skills and the guild leader of Gods of Destruction. Now that the 2-star Outstanding Dark Gold–grade Purple Thunder Battle Axe had fallen into his hands, his Attack was probably not too far behind mine. A single weapon made him a lot scarier than before!

Right...
