Weapon Master

Chapter 496 - Destined

”Bam!”

Xuan Ming Ghost King’s body flew out uncontrollably like a kite with a broken string, smashing into the wall at the side, as he let out a sharp scream.

This sound was like a catalyst, and the surrounding environment immediately underwent a bizarre change.

On the clean stone road, there was a lot of dust and sand. The originally neat stone tablets were now fragmented, and the surrounding buildings were gradually becoming mottled and dilapidated. There were even a few buildings that had collapsed, and ruins could be seen everywhere.

With the blink of an eye, countless years seemed to have passed in the city. The originally undamaged city had actually completely changed.

Obviously, the one who had appeared now was the real ”Forgotten City”.

”What I saw before was an illusion!” Tang Huan’s thoughts moved slightly, and he leaped as if he was flying.

”Chi!”

Instantly, the long spear in Tang Huan’s hands pierced outwards at the fastest speed possible, on the head of the spear, an incomparably scorching flame rose, in an instant, it transformed into a gigantic fireball, and with terrifying heat, it roared towards Xuan Ming Ghost King, like a meteorite falling from the sky.

A few meters away, Xuan Ming Ghost King had just jumped up, but her body had already thinned out quite a bit.

First, she had lost a large amount of her power under Tang Huan’s ”True Flame Rainbow” move, and then she was hit by the Flamewing Phoenix King’s wing, and adding the fact that Tang Huan and the Flamewing Phoenix King had killed countless Demon Spirits, she had clearly consumed a huge amount of energy, to the point that it was hard for her to maintain the ”Magic Illusion Formation”.

Otherwise, the illusions created by the ”Magic Demon Array” would not automatically collapse.

”How hateful!”

Seeing Tang Huan closing in, the Xuan Ming Ghost King roared out, his expression becoming extremely sinister.

In the next moment, Xuan Ming Ghost King clenched her teeth, and the crescent-shaped bone blade in her hand expanded rapidly like an inflatable ball. She then waved it forward, and a gigantic dark red blade aura swept towards the large fireball.

”Boom!”

After the extremely violent impact, the bone blade in Xuan Ming Ghost King’s hand shattered inch by inch, transforming into specks of dark red luster that disappeared into nothingness. Meanwhile, Pang Shuo’s fireball and that dark red blade-light exploded at the same time, transforming into a huge wave that roared towards the surroundings, causing a cloud of dust to swirl around. The sand on the ground was also lifted into the air bit by bit, however, before it could even land on the ground, it had already been grinded into smithereens by the Strength Qi.

”Not good, she wants to escape.”

Right at this moment, the Flamewing Phoenix King’s voice suddenly sounded.

Tang Huan looked over, only to see that at the end of the sand field, Xuan Ming Ghost King’s body had started to distort, and in an instant he turned into a ball of dark red Qi, soaring up to the sky.

”Hmm?”

Tang Huan frowned, and immediately released his grip on the dragon and phoenix spear.

Immediately after, Tang Huan’s ten fingers danced quickly, and in a split second, five thick fire dragons formed, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they roared towards the sky. In an instant, they had already traversed across twenty to thirty metres of space, and collided with the dark red ball of energy that was rapidly expanding.

This was the Saint-rank fire magic, ”Wild Fire Dragon Dance”!

”Boom!”

Another loud sound rang out in the sky as the five fire dragons wildly exploded. The burning heat wave instantly filled up the void, seeming as if it was going to melt the entire area.

”Ahhhhhhhhh!”

Shrill screams immediately rang out, and dozens of weak dark red auras penetrated through the layers of heat waves, scattering in all directions like meteors. A moment later, another ball the size of a millstone was formed a hundred meters away. However, it did not dare to stop in the slightest as it desperately fled into the distance.

In an instant, the dark red figure had already disappeared, and a shrill scream came from afar, ”Feng Ming, Tang Huan, I will remember you two!”

”What a pity.”

Narrowing his eyes, Tang Huan looked in the direction that Xuan Ming Ghost King was fleeing in.

If it was a Stage Nine Demon King who possessed flesh body, he would have definitely become a corpse at this moment. However, that Xuan Ming Ghost King was transformed by the grievances of this ”Forgotten City” and while escaping, his body had actually turned into a ball of aura. Even after using the ”Fire Dragon Wild Dance”, he still wasn’t able to destroy Xuan Ming Ghost King. Tang Huan knew then that he wouldn’t be able to keep her here any longer.

Tang Huan had originally wanted to see whether or not he could snatch the ”Divine Weapon Catalogue” scroll that she had collected, but now he could only wait for an opportunity.

”Don’t worry, she’s still in Forgotten City.” Flamewing Phoenix King suddenly laughed.

”Oh?”

Tang Huan looked at Flamewing Phoenix King in surprise, ”What do you mean?”

Flamewing Phoenix King narrowed her beautiful eyes, ”Xuan Ming Ghost King was already severely injured, and that strike of yours was even more so. Forget about the current her having no strength to flee Forgotten City, even if she were a ’Forgotten City’, she would still not leave. Once she leaves this place, it will be impossible for her to regain her original strength. ”

”I see.”

”When Two Realms Plain was severely injured, you travelled thousands of miles to return to Feng Ming Mountain. It was only because of that place that you could borrow the power of the Spiritual Fire in the Phoenix nest to recover. The condition of the Xuan Ming Ghost King is extremely similar to yours. She was transformed from the grievance of a ’Forgotten City’, and it is likely that her strength will only be fully recovered in her lair, and her recovery will be the fastest. ”

”That’s right.”

Flamewing Phoenix King slightly nodded her head, ”As long as we can find her nest, she won’t be able to escape.”

”Feng Ming, do you know where in the ’Forgotten City’ her nest is?” Tang Huan subconsciously asked.

”Even though she and I were both part of the Eight Great Demon King s and we stayed together for a period of time, we barely had any relationship at all. How could she possibly tell me such an important thing?” Hearing this question, Flamewing Phoenix King immediately glared at him unhappily.

”...”

Tang Huan was shocked, but immediately laughed out loud, and laughed, ”Alright, let’s go to the center of the ’Forgotten City’, as for the Xuan Ming Ghost King’s lair, it won’t be too late to slowly search for it in the future. In any case, with her current injuries, it’s definitely not something that can be recovered in two or three days.”

Speaking to here, Tang Huan seemed to have thought of something, seemed to be talking to himself, and also seemed to be talking to the Flamewing Phoenix King. Xuan Ming Ghost King... That ’Xuan Ming Ghost King’ has given me this name, but I wonder if it has anything to do with the ’Xuan Ming Initial Fire’? ”

”This...”

Flamewing Phoenix King was startled.

Tang Huan also never thought that he would be able to find out the exact answer from her, and in an instant, he regained his senses and chuckled: ”Let’s not talk about her name, or should we talk about your name, I never thought that your real name, ’Feng Ming’, would actually be the name that I casually gave you.”

At that time, he had only picked up the word ”Feng Ming” for the Flamewing Phoenix King that was still a little girl but because Tang Huan had picked her up at ”Feng Ming Mountain”, and had just heard Xuan Ming Ghost King address her in this manner as well, Tang Huan had realized that her original name was precisely this.

”Feng Ming, it seems that you have long been destined to be my maid.”

”Bullshit...”

”...”
