The night was as dark as water.
Tang Huan was dressed in black, he sat cross-legged and looked like an even more ancient statue. His body was motionless, and the two meter long Scarlet Flame Spear was placed on his legs.
The distance between him and the smithy was only about ten metres, while Shan Shan and little one were hiding even further in the dense forest.
Since he had received the news, Tang Huan would naturally not wait for them inside the shop to kill him.
If these people were all Level 4 Martial Masters, Tang Huan would still be interested in showing up and playing with them, while trying out the "Flaming Rainbow Spear Art" and the newly forged middle ranked weapon "Scarlet Flame Spear". However, if these people were all Level 5 Martial Masters, Tang Huan would not be so foolish as to run out and find trouble with them.
Tang Huan continued to circulate the "Great Art of the Heavens and Earth", his inside the Dantian and spirit wheel spinning at lightning speeds, the True Qi flowing through his nine great spirit veins, his senses raised to the limit, and within a radius of dozens of metres, even the slightest movement could not be hidden from her ears.
Unknowingly, it was already late at night.
"Rustle, rustle …"
A series of light footsteps suddenly entered his ears.
When they arrived at the wall of the courtyard, the footsteps suddenly stopped. Then, a soft mutter could be heard, "I didn"t expect the two of us to arrive here first."
"Everyone, let"s split up and move out on different routes. Naturally, there"s always a way out. Let"s just wait here for a while, we can act when everyone"s here."
"That guy is also a Rank 4 Martial Master. We have to be careful. If he manages to escape, His Highness will not let us off easily."
"Haha, old brother, you are too cowardly. We have five Martial Masters, and Captain Wu Yin is a Grade Five Martial Master. I am afraid we won"t be able to kill him."
"That"s true. If so many of us can"t handle that little guy, we can just find a rock and smash him to death."
"..."
Sitting at the base of the wall were two men in black, both of whom looked rather relaxed. They did not pay much attention to this mission. Five Level 4 Martial Grand Masters and one Level 5 Martial Master could deal with a sixteen-seventeen year old Level 4 Martial Master and low level weapons craftsman easily.
"I wonder what that woman looks like?" If it"s a normal situation, then there"s no need to trouble your majesty to bring them back, us brothers will do it on your behalf. "
"Hehe, I have to ask Captain Wu Yin about this. If he agrees …"
"Unfortunately, I"m afraid you won"t have the chance to ask."
At this moment, a cold voice abruptly entered his ears.
The two men in black were shocked. In a split-second, they saw a blinding red light with a scorching hot aura whizzing over. The speed was so fast that it was like lightning, and in just a split-second, it had arrived in front of them.
"Get out of the way!" The two of them didn"t hesitate at all and immediately pounced in the opposite direction. Then, they both drew out their swords. "Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love!"
"Chi!"
In an instant, the red light didn"t slow down in the slightest and immediately shot towards one of the black-clothed men like a shadow following its body.
The man was scared out of his wits. He waved his right arm slightly, and the black longsword in his hand swung out.
"Pfft!"
However, the dazzling red light was just like a snake as it wiggled for a moment. It actually bypa.s.sed the black longsword and almost brushed past the sharp blade. Then, it landed at the black clothed man"s throat with lightning speed and the fiery energy immediately exploded.
Before the man in black could even make a sound, his body froze on the spot. His round eyes still contained an incredulous expression, and his throat was pierced by a fiery red spear. Black smoke was still sizzling from the wound, and a scorching stench immediately filled the air.
The owner of the spear was also wearing a tight black robe and had a slender body.
This man was Tang Huan!
Tang Huan didn"t pause at all when he stabbed at the black clothed man. With a flick of his right hand, the tip of the spear that was as red as fire was pulled out from his throat. At almost the same time he turned his body, the long spear also reversed and pierced backwards without even looking. It was like a fire dragon had left its hole with frightening power.
"Liu Guang …"
The other man in black couldn"t help but scream in horror when he saw his companion killed so easily.
But before he finished speaking, he discovered that the fiery red spear point had already reached his chest. Shocked, he immediately stepped back to the side, barely dodging it. The long blade in his hand was wrapped in a dark black light as he swung it towards the spear shaft at the fastest speed possible.
"Ding!"
The sound of metal clas.h.i.+ng rang out.
The black-clothed man only felt a terrifying surge of power. His entire arm had become numb, and his black longblade had been bounced up a foot high.
"You, you …"
The black clothed man could not believe his eyes. He had already guessed that the person in front of him was the Tang Huan that he wanted to kill this time, but didn"t His Highness say that this person was only a level four Martial Master? He was also a rank 4 Martial Master, so why was his true qi so strong? Was it just because he was a weapons craftsman?
"Hu!"
Tang Huan sneered, the long spear in his hand released a long bow and shot forward, like a divine dragon swinging its tail, it directly swept towards the black-clothed man"s stomach, the scorching Qi emitted from the spear body, as though it had congealed into a violent wave of heat, pressuring over, causing an intense whistling sound.
The black clothed man never expected that Tang Huan"s attack would be so powerful. His face instantly turned pale and his body sank down as one hand held onto the hilt of his blade while the other held onto the body of the blade, blocking the attack.
"Bam!"
In the blink of an eye, the spear and blade collided.
In the midst of the violent impact, the long spear pressed down on the saber"s body and ruthlessly struck the chest of the man in black. In the next moment, the man in black was sent flying a dozen meters away before he landed heavily on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
A sharp killing intent flashed across"s eyes, in a few steps, he had already leaped over.
"Save …"
The black clothed man was scared witless when he saw this. He was about to open his mouth to scream, but before he could even finish speaking the first note, his voice suddenly stopped. It was Tang Huan"s dark red, burning spear tip moving like lightning towards and out of his throat, leaving a pitch black hole.
Whoos.h.!.+ Tang Huan heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly threw the two corpses into the bushes in the distance.
Just as he was about to hide, Tang Huan realized that there were two figures flying around in the distance. They were flying over quickly, and it seemed like there were another two people behind them.
Tang Huan"s heart moved, he immediately bent down and picked up the long sword, and then, the second man fell down, his body pressing down on the sword and spear shaft, the spear tip piercing into the soil, his hand holding onto the man"s blade, he laid down, and did not move at all.
His figure was about the same as that person"s. Furthermore, they were both wearing similar black clothes. Furthermore, they were also covered by some gra.s.s. At a glance, they did indeed look very similar.
Of course, if one were to observe carefully, he would still be able to discover the flaw.
What Tang Huan wanted to bet on now was a gamble!
