Weapon Master

Chapter 2017 - Hidden Helper

”Tang Huan, this old man has truly underestimated you.”

In the distant sky, Hua Tian Chi narrowed his eyes. His expression had already become extremely solemn. He, who looked like a youngster, called himself ’old man’. It was indeed rather strange to hear it. However, when it was combined with the endless vicissitudes of life in his eyes, it seemed extremely natural.

”If that’s the case, my ears are going to hurt.”

Tang Huan laughed indifferently, and two notes came out from her mouth, ”Fist Seal!” As she punched out, Pang Shuo’s fist shadows seemed to fill up the sky. A shocking aura immediately sealed the space around Hua Tianchi, and a terrifying pressure simultaneously enveloped the surroundings.

Seeing this, Hua Tian Chi’s face could not help but sink.

At this moment, he actually had a strange and shocking feeling. The space he was in seemed to have turned into a massive cage, trapping him within. The closer the fist shadows got, the more intense the pressure from the spatial cage became.

He even had the illusion that his entire body was about to explode.

However, Hua Tian Chi was very clear, this was definitely not an illusion. Even though he was a peak Upper Sky King, if he was slightly slow, he would have been smashed by Tang Huan’s fist.

”Break!”

A bright red light appeared in front of Hua Tian Chi.

In his palm, a huge fiery-red hammer already appeared, and a terrifying aura rapidly spread out. Amidst the explosive shout, the hammer rotated and fiercely smashed towards the rapidly approaching Pang Shuo’s fist shadow. An incomparably savage and violent strength roared out, with a force like that of thunder. Even a towering mountain seemed to be able to instantly smash it.

”Boom!”

In a split-second, the two collided head on.

Amidst the earth-shaking sounds, the extremely powerful Strength Qi tumbled out, causing the surrounding space to distort violently. Almost at the same time, a muffled grunt suddenly burst forth, and as if struck by a heavy blow, Hua Tian Chi was sent flying several kilometers back along with his hammer, heavily smashing onto the side of a mountain.

With a bang, the entire mountain range instantly exploded, turning into dust that filled the sky. The dust churned everywhere, and the figure of the Seraphic Pond immediately became blurry and indistinct.

High up in the sky, Tang Huan’s body did not move an inch.

”Elder Hua!”

Seeing this scene, the expressions of Chu Xingchen and Fu Gao both changed. Their bodies moved, and they charged into the dusky area with lightning speed, appearing to be indistinct and indistinct.

The spectators in the distance were in an uproar.

In the previous clash between Tang Huan and Hua Tian Chi, it could be said that both sides were evenly matched. But this time, in the clash, Hua Tian Chi was obviously at a disadvantage.

”This Tang Huan is too strong, he is definitely a peak-level Heavenly King.”

”The difference between him and Elder Hua of the Desolate God Palace, who is also a peak Superior Heavenly King, is this great?”

”I was worried for nothing on behalf of Tang Huan earlier.”

”...”

The scene from earlier had caused a huge impact to the crowd, and for a moment, they all cried out in alarm.

However, after a short while, everyone’s voices suddenly stopped. The Strength Qi in front of them that was rolling in all directions like raging waves had already reached the edges of the Saint Dao City.

Many cultivators who were weaker than the others immediately retreated, while at the same time, ripples started to appear above the city, as though there was a gigantic transparent round cover rising from the ground, like a bubble covering the entire city, blocking the incoming Strength Qi.

In the distant sky, dust gradually scattered and the three figures also became clear.

Astonishment and shock that could not be dispersed still filled the air between Chu Xingchen and Fu Gao’s brows. Hua Tianchi, on the other hand, was slightly pale, and his eyes also revealed the same expression of shock.

The previous exchange had not only stunned Chu Xingchen and Fu Gao, but even the peak level Heavenly King of the Hua Tian Pond was trembling with fear.

His cultivation had been stuck at the Heavenly King Stage for many years already, and he had initially thought that his own strength had already reached the limits of Heavenly Kings. I will last for thirty-six days, and I should already be invincible, even in the last eighteen or nine days, there would probably be very few Heavenly Kings who can be as strong as me.

But now, his thoughts had been completely shattered.

Initially, Tang Huan did not emit any Qi from her body, so he was unable to determine the other party’s cultivation. However, after Tang Huan had acted against Chu Xingchen and Fu Gao, he already knew that she was the peak of the Upper Sky King. However, he had never imagined that the strength of a mere peak stage Heavenly King could actually reach such a terrifying level. Even with his cultivation level and strength, she was actually heavily injured in a single blow from her opponent.

What made him even more inconceivable was that Tang Huan did not use his full strength just now.

Even though he hadn’t gone all out, this was the result. If he had gone all out, what kind of ending would he end up like. At this moment, the shock in his heart could not be described with words.

The arrogance and self-confidence that had accumulated for thousands of years all vanished at this moment.

In an instant, the youth Hua Tianchi actually looked as if he had aged by several tens of years. Many wrinkles appeared on his smooth face, and the black hair hanging behind his head also had a few shades of white in it.

After he advanced to Heavenly King, he would still be in a daze for several thousand years every thirty-six days. He wanted to reach the top of the ”Heavenly King Ranking” in one go after arriving for eighteen days. If one was chosen, they could directly enter the sect they resided in, and their status would not be low either. This was an excellent opportunity for the Celestial King who came from the lower thirty-six days.

However, the current failure made him doubt whether his thousands of years of persistence had been correct or not.

At this moment, Hua Tianzhi felt a bit disheartened. He even had the impulse to turn around and leave. However, this thought only flashed in his mind, and was already thrown out of the Nine Heavens Clouds. He wanted to personally see just what the limits of his power were, this hundred year old peak peak Heavenly King in front of him.

After exchanging glances with Chu Xingchen and Fu Gao, his mind instructs (in a second) faintly moved, and numerous figures appeared in front of him. They were either male or female, old or young, and their auras were all undisguised as they overflowed, making them all exceptionally strong.

In the blink of an eye, twelve figures appeared out of nowhere.

Sensing the change in the distance, the cultivators at the edge of the Saint Dao City simply couldn’t believe their eyes. It seemed that there were twelve Heavenly Kings there.

At the beginning, Tang Huan had said that she wanted Hua Tian Chi and the others to call out all the people they had hidden. They had thought that Tang Huan had only said that casually, in order to swindle Tian Chi and the others, and see if they had brought any other helpers.

Moreover, there were twelve of them in total. They were all hiding within the spatial artifacts within the Heavenly Lake.
