Weapon Master

A burst of mocking laughter came from the front of the smithy, and the next thing that entered his ears was the screams of the horses before they died. The hawk-nosed man's face turned even more unsightly, and he gnashed his teeth as he let out a low growl.    

"General, they came out." A young man in front of the blacksmith shop hurriedly said.    

"Brothers, don't stop them! Let them go!"    

Tang Xiong laughed out loud. There were dead horses all around him and the air was filled with the thick smell of blood. All the horses that those people rode had been killed.    

When the soldiers, who wanted to stop Tang Xiong, heard his words, they became even more surprised.    

Those people were obviously trying to assassinate Tang Huan.    

Everyone originally thought that Tang Xiong wanted to catch a turtle in a jar after letting them in. After all, with Tang Huan's strength, those people wouldn't be able to kill him in a short while. But who would have thought that after all these people had barged into the smithy, Tang Xiong had not given the order to attack.    

But now that those people had come out, Tang Xiong actually still had to let them go.    

As they watched the twenty people run away, everyone gathered in front of the blacksmith's shop, looking anxious and furious. Many of them had discontented expressions on their faces.    

"Why do you think this guy came out so quickly?" Tang Xiong did not mind and laughed loudly.    

"Why?" Everyone was startled, but they were also extremely suspicious. Those people had just rushed in and jumped over the wall not long after. There were no sounds of fighting coming from within. In such a short amount of time, even the Stage Eight Martial Lord would not be able to kill Tang Huan.    

"Because Brother Tang Huan is not here at all."    

Tang Xiong chuckled, "Early on the morning of the second day after we forged that weapon, Brother Tang Huan had already left the Nulang City and headed for the Heavenly Cast City."    

When he said this, the surrounding people were all dumbfounded, staring at each other in disbelief.    

"How could this be? Lord Thousand Generals, in the past few days, you have been sending in a lot of food every day." An armored man said.    

"All of the food has been eaten by this general." Tang Xiong patted his stomach, and laughed complacently.    

"Every night, there's a light inside." another young man shouted.    

"The lights in there have never been extinguished. When this general went in to deliver the food, I also added some lamp oil."    

Tang Xiong laughed even more complacently, "Staying here for a few more days was originally just to cover for the Tang Family brothers, but I never thought that a bunch of idiots like them would actually come out, laughing to death for this general. "Haha, it was this general who decided on this brilliant plan. What do you think of it, brothers?"    

According to what the Tang Huan brothers said, we should know what kind of gangway is Ming Xiu taking, what kind of place should we use to get his mother's help? Forget it, everyone just knows that the Tang Huan brothers are about to reach the Heavenly Casting City.    

"Those fellows are all Great Martial Master s of the seventh step, there is no need for us to fight them with our lives on the line. Leave matters of life and death to the experts of the Divine Weapon Pavilion. "    

"?"    

Everyone looked at each other, seeing Tang Xiong's complacent look, they were all speechless. This kind of plan is very common, okay?    

A farce of assassination had finally ended amidst the laughter of the soldiers.    

However, on the morning of the next day, news of this assassination attempt on Tang Huan still spread far and wide within the Nulang City. This was because the Mu Kui Elders of the Divine Weapon Pavilion had intercepted the s of the seventh step from the west side of Nulang City. After killing a few of them, the remaining people all committed suicide without the slightest hesitation.    

It was only at this time that the many Martial Warrior s within the Nulang City realized with a start that the usually quiet Divine Weapon Pavilion was actually hiding so many Stage Eight Martial Lord s.    

It was said that during the battle in the west of the city, there were archers as well.    

Of course, those archers had only been able to detect their whereabouts, but they had never shot an arrow at Mu Kui nor the others. Even though the twenty two Seventh Order Great Martial Master s were constantly being killed, they did not help.    

Because of this, Mu Kui and the rest immediately guessed that this assassination was initiated by the 'Secluded Night Divine Palace'.    

This was because there was a rule in the "Secluded Night Divine Palace" that the "Ghost Magic Arrow" could only be used on targets that were prepared to be assassinated. This was because the refinement process of this thing was extremely complicated, and one would be missing one each time.    

However, the most interesting thing to the audience was not the identity of the killers, but rather, Tang Huan's movements.    

The main purpose of the twenty assassins, who disguised themselves as the soldiers of the Tang Empire and broke into the blacksmith shop, was to create chaos and create a suitable opportunity for the archers of the "Secluded Night Divine Palace". It was a pity that they did not manage to escape as Tang Huan had long ago left the Nulang City.    

Just as everyone within the Nulang City was still guessing, a horse carriage arrived at the front of the Heavenly Cast City which was about five hundred kilometers west of the Nulang City.    

The largest city in the Glory Continent was none other than the Heavenly Casting City.    

This city was situated on a vast plain, and the mountain range closest to the city was over ten Li away. This mountain range formed a semicircular arc, tightly encircling the north, west, and south sides of Heavenly Cave City. It only opened up to the east, which was an incomparably wide field of vision.    

The city walls of the Heavenly Cast City were not high, being only a few meters tall, and could not even be compared to the newly built Dragon Spring Town s of the Origin Continent.    

However, the city had the title of "Glory Holy City" not only because it was the capital of the Glory Empire, but also because of its heritage.    

It was said that the Heavenly Cast City was the most ancient city in Glory Continent.    

In the Nulang City, for example, the Tang Family, the Gu Family, and the Lu Family that had existed for hundreds of years could be considered a huge clan. In this city, there were at least ten aristocratic clans with a thousand years of history.    

From this, it could be seen how deep the foundations of this Heavenly Cast City were.    

"The Heavenly Cast City is so lively."    

The carriage had already slowed down. After the curtain was lifted, a little girl who looked like she was carved from jade directly lay down on the window seat and jumped out. She immediately attracted the attention of the passersby, startling the middle-aged man who was driving in front and quickly pulling on the reins.    

"Uncle, let's stop here. We'll enter the city ourselves." A helpless voice came from the carriage.    

"Alright."    

The middle-aged man shook the reins and stopped the carriage by the side of the road.    

A moment later, a black-robed youth came out of the carriage. He was tall and slender, with a handsome face and handsome facial features. His exposed skin had a similar luster to his skin.    

The scabbard was black as ink, but the hilt of the sword had a dark red luster to it. On his shoulder, it seemed as if he was carrying a long spear and spear type weapon, the entire weapon was wrapped in a black cloth, concealing the light.
