🕑 Added 2023-05-17 00:37:24 +0000 UTCChapter 44: Gun
4 days have passed since the Heavenly Tribulation Incident, and the propaganda spread from various major forces did not disappoint Luo Wusheng.
Almost all the citizens of the royal city had received the news that the Taoist Artifact Pavilion would demonstrate the Taoist Marked Mortal Weapons at the Trial Martial Arena today.
On its own, this news was nothing special, but when combined with the recent activities of the Demon Artifact Pavilion, it became apparent that there was a strong sense of tension.
On the surface, the news released by the Taoist Artifact Pavilion was about testing their own Taoist Marked Mortal Weapons.
However, anyone with discerning eyes could see that this was a deliberate suppression of the Demon Artifact Pavilion that is led by the Taoist Artifact Pavilion.
Many people initially thought that the Taoist Artifact Pavilion's introduction of the batch of 【Sky Manifestation】 Taoist Marked Mortal Weapons and their plan to compete with the Demon Artifact Pavilion in three days by resuming the sale of special mortal weapons was already enough to bully them. But they didn't expect the Taoist Artifact Pavilion to go even further this time.
Nevertheless, this kind of matter was obviously a great topic for discussion over a cup of tea. With this in mind, even those who were originally not interested in joining the crowd couldn't help but be tempted.
Coupled with the attention from various forces, today's Trial Martial Arena undoubtedly hosted a grand scene.
It could be said that since the establishment of the Trial Martial Arena, it was the first time it had received such tremendous attention.
After all, how could the competition among Qi Refining cultivators compare to the spectacle of witnessing the downfall of a power house?
Indeed, regardless of the outcome, today would bring a significant blow to one of the royal city forces.
Among the mortal weapons that are in the Royal City, the Taoist Marked mortal weapon is the top, and this has become a deeply ingrained stereotype over the years.
Especially after seeing the strength of the special mortal weapons that was displayed by the Demon Artifact Pavilion in the past two days, the onlooker couldn't muster any confidence in them.
It seemed that just as the Demon Artifact Pavilion was finally able to be making some progress, they were about to fall into trouble once again.
The means of that Holy Saint from the Demon Sect were nothing special either.
............
Today, after careful consideration, Luo Wusheng decided to go to the Trial Martial Arena in the east of the city with Bai Xiaoyao.
The one in charge there was the obsequious Li Xing.
The reason for this choice was simple. Luo Wusheng felt that in such an explosive plot, this slightly obnoxious little officer would definitely be more interesting to see on the stage.
However, today they didn't go to a nearby teahouse.
The reason was straightforward. Under the propaganda of the major forces, the number of spectators arriving at the Trial Martial Arena today was nearly ten times larger than yesterday, and the number of spectators was still increasing.
The various teahouses around the Trial Martial Arena were already packed full by the time they arrived.
After some contemplation, the two prodigies of the Demon Sect made a more direct choice.
And so...
"Look! It's the Demon Sect Holy Saint and Holy Maiden!"
"Indeed, as the current leaders of the Artifact Pavilion, they couldn't sit still in the face of the Taoist Artifact Pavilion's provocation!"
"I never expected them to personally come and watch today's battle!"
The crowd around them became somewhat chaotic.
But as the two young geniuses of the Demon Sect walked out to the Trial Martial Arena bystander seat, everyone obediently closed their mouths and made way for these two Demon Sect prodigies.
No one dared to challenge the Demon Sect member.
However, there were whispers among some people, saying things like, "What's the point of them coming?" "They're bound to lose anyway," and "Could they be planning something behind the scenes?"
Luo Wusheng didn't pay attention to these remarks. He simply led Bai Xiaoyao to a suitable viewing position as if no one else was around.
After the surrounding people voluntarily distanced themselves, he tapped his storage bag, took out a table, chairs, and some items, and sat down next to Bai Xiaoyao, looking relaxed and at ease.
At that moment, a head suddenly popped out from the crowd.
"Yo! Holy Saint! Holy Maiden!"
It was Li Xing, who had originally been hiding among the crowd.
He had planned to wait until the competition started before revealing his identity and entering the stage. But now, seeing his own Holy Saint and Holy Maiden coming to watch his match, he immediately excitedly jumped out.
Many people in the crowd immediately recognized him.
"It's him! He's the one from the Demon Artifact Pavilion who has been participating in the matches on this Trial Martial Arena these past few days!"
"It seems that the Demon Artifact Pavilion is planning to let him participate today. But after all, even though it's clear to everyone that the Taoist Artifact Pavilion has issued a challenge, avoiding the fight is the same as admitting defeat."
"But we saw it the past couple of days. This person is only in the late Qi Refining stage. Even if he's holding that special mortal weapon, he's not even a match for someone in the same realm who is only wielding a regular mortal weapon..."
Amidst the skeptical voices, Li Xing walked cheerfully to the table where his Holy Saint and Holy Maiden were.
"You don't seem nervous at all."
Luo Wusheng looked at his young subordinate and said with a smile.
In their interactions these past few days, his relationship with these subordinates of his had become quite good. The four officers were no longer as restrained with him as when they first met him.
Especially this carefree Li Xing, who even quietly changed the way he addressed him.
"Hehe, with the Holy Saint and Holy Maiden watching from the front row, I feel like I can take on Foundation Establishment cultivators and win now!"
Li Xing patted his chest and said such word with a smile.
This kid's words were still as pleasing as ever.
He was about to say something when he noticed a robed man leaping onto the Trial Martial Arena.
"Zhang Qifeng from the Taoist Artifact Pavilion, who dares to fight with me?"
The man proclaimed loudly, holding a long sword adorned with golden patterns, his gaze inadvertently sweeping in the direction where the three from the Artifact Pavilion were.
If he had gone up before Li Xing revealed himself, there might have been a few cultivators willing to challenge a cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage holding a Taoist Marked Mortal Weapon. But at this moment, everyone's attention shifted to Li Xing.
(Mid Qi Refining stage... The Taoist Artifact Pavilion is indeed confident.)
Luo Wusheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be difficult for a cultivator in the mid Qi Refining stage wielding a Taoist Marked Mortal Weapon to win against a Late Qi Refining stage.
"Yes, today I will definitely make a name for our Demon Artifact Pavilion!"
After bowing, Li Xing turned around and effortlessly climbed onto the Trial Martial Arena.
Luo Wusheng, who wasn't particularly worried about this battle, looked at his junior sister and handed her a bag of something.
"Here, junior sister, try this."
"What is it?"
"It's a special snack that I made after several attempts yesterday. I named it Popcorn.'"
Bai Xiaoyao blinked and took the item handed to her by her senior brother. She took a bite and tried it.
Hmm, it's delicious.
A faint smile of happiness appeared on the young woman's face.
............
On the Trial Martial Arena.
Zhang Qifeng, the cultivator from the Taoist Artifact Pavilion who is holding the Taoist Marked Mortal Weapon, looked somewhat disdainful.
Although Li Xing was one small cultivation realm higher than him, as someone who had fight against multiple cultivator who has higher realms than him numerous times using the Taoist Marked Mortal Weapon, he had even narrowly defeated a Foundation Establishment cultivator who are wielding a normal mortal weapon.
Facing Li Xing, who held a special mortal weapon that was inferior to a normal one, there was simply no possibility of his defeat.
He was now waiting for the person on the other side to report his name so that he could immediately wield his sword and achieve victory, completing the mission given by his Pavilion Master, Lin Qingfeng.
However, Li Xing on the opposite side didn't show any urgency at all. He leisurely retrieved the pitch-black special mortal weapon from his waist.
"Do you know? Our Pavilion Master said something interesting yesterday..."
Zhang Qifeng frowned, not understanding what Li Xing was trying to convey.
Could it be that the Demon Sect Holy Saint had prepared something?
He gripped his sword in readiness, but then heard Li Xing continue:
"As long as they are seven steps away from you, you would be invincible.”
A burst of fire erupted from the pitch-black gun barrel.
Bang!
