Weapon Master

Chapter 556 - Losing the bet

The Demon Clansmen that lived in the Furious Billows Castle were not weak nor old, they were all sturdy men and women. The weakest among them were all Demon General s of the fourth step. When they heard that the Human Clan had barged into the castle, these people knew that the situation was extremely dangerous. As a result, although they had a large number of people, their movements were extremely quick.

As time passed by quickly, streams of people flowed through the streets and alleyways. The loud sound also rumbled as it spread northwards.

The west, south, and east of the castle had quieted down, and there was no sign of anyone.

In a stone house a hundred meters away from the exit of the eastern passageway, Tang Huan's eyes were slightly closed, he sat cross-legged on the ground like a statue, with his spear placed horizontally on his legs. At this time, not only did Tang Huan restrain the aura of the pike in his hand, his own aura had also been restrained to the limit.

With the fast movement of the Dantian's "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" and the Five Colors Spiritual Pills, it was as if Tang Huan's entire being had become one with the world.

After leaving the Heaven Seeking Tower, Tang Huan deliberately avoided the eyes and ears of the people of the Demon Clan, and hid in the uninhabited storage room.

From the chaos in the castle to the four tolls of the bell, to all the clamoring sounds, gradually moving north ….

Tang Huan remained unmoved.

From the movements outside, it could be determined that the Demon Clan had chosen to make a breakthrough through the northern passage. This was indeed the most suitable, because after leaving the north gate, it was the easiest way to enter the Two Realms Plain. The plains were vast and endless. Once they reached there, it would be much easier to advance to the west and head south.

With the Demon Clan making such a big move, there was a high chance that the Eight Remoteness Dragon King was mixed in and escaped through the north gate.

However, Tang Huan did not slip past them. In that direction, Feng Ming alone was enough. With her strength, she could easily defeat the injured Eight Remoteness Dragon King.

What Tang Huan needed to do was to guard the east gate and wait for Feng Ming to reunite with them.

After a long while, a loud noise came from the north of Furious Billows Castle, as if thousands of people were shouting at the same time. Before long, the voice from that side gradually weakened, until it completely disappeared. The entire Furious Billows Castle seemed to have sunk into a deathly silence.

Inside the stone hut, Tang Huan still remained motionless.

Behind the wall a few hundred meters away from the east gate of the castle was an unusually tall and sturdy figure. His two eyes repeatedly swept over the area near the east gate, and a hesitant expression appeared in his dark green eyes.

This man was Eight Remoteness Dragon King.

He let the bear-man gather everyone and rush out of the North Gate. Aside from choosing that direction, the most important thing he wanted to do was to use the numerous Demon Clansmen s to attract Tang Huan's and the red-robed lady's attention, to create an opportunity for himself. If the person guarding the East Gate was also attracted, he could easily leave from the East Gate.

His idea was not bad, but he wasn't sure if that person from the east gate was really lured over.

If that person didn't leave, wouldn't he be caught red-handed when he charged towards the east gate? After thinking and thinking for a while, he finally restrained his restless thoughts and patiently waited.

Right now, he was already a little regretful. From the movements at the north gate, the retreating Demon Clan people should not have been able to fight with Tang Huan or the red-robed lady who was waiting there. If he had not come to the east gate just now and had hid himself among the group of Demon Clan s for a while, he might have been able to get through.

However, it was too late to regret it now.

Time trickled by, after almost an hour, the Eight Remoteness Dragon King could no longer hold it in, if he did not go out, the army of Human Clan would rush in through the north gate, and furthermore, it had already been so long, he reckoned that the man guarding the east gate had long since headed north.

Now, he could only gamble!

"Hu!"

With a slight piercing sound, Eight Remoteness Dragon King grabbed the Wolf Fanged Mace and leaped forward. When Pang Shuang's foot stepped on the ground, he was actually as nimble as a cat, and there were no footsteps.

Hundreds of meters of space passed in the blink of an eye.

The circular arched passageway had a height and width of over twenty meters. However, this wide passageway was sealed by an incomparably thick door.

This was only the first gate of the passage, and it was rather simple. There was no magic array, but two extremely thick locks on the door could be seen, pulling out the lock and pushing it outwards from the inside. As for the other gate, it required a large number of Genuine Qi s to activate it.

When he arrived at the door, he first scanned his surroundings carefully before taking off the door lock. He placed his hand on the door and suddenly channeled his force.

"Creak …"

Although the door was heavy, the friction when it was opened was not very loud. A short while later, a small crack that could accommodate a person was opened.

Eight Remoteness Dragon King's expression was ecstatic, he subconsciously turned his head to look around and immediately entered.

But after entering the passageway, after he had just moved twenty to thirty meters, Eight Remoteness Dragon King's expression suddenly changed. He turned back and looked, and within his line of sight, a black shadow entered his line of sight, and immediately after, a young and handsome familiar face entered his sight.

"Tang Huan!"

Eight Remoteness Dragon King stared fixedly at the figure, the two sounds coming out from his mouth, yet his heart was filled with unspeakable regret and anger.

The moment he saw that figure, he knew that he had lost the bet!

He had originally thought that he was patient enough, and that he had stayed in the vicinity for a long time before making his move, but he never thought that Tang Huan would be even more restrained than him. Not only did he not get lured over by the movements from the north, he was even like him, hiding in and out of the vicinity of the east gate.

If he was only discovered by Tang Huan, then there was no harm, he still had a treasure that could teleport him, hence it was immediately activated, allowing him to temporarily escape.

However, Tang Huan was extremely sinister, and actually waited for him to appear after he had entered the tunnel. Now, with the gate blocking him in front and Tang Huan blocking him at the back, it was useless even if he used that treasure to run to the end of the tunnel. That door was incomparable to that door; it would be impossible to open it in a short period of time.

Right now, he had nowhere to go, nowhere to go, nowhere to run.

"Eight Remoteness Dragon King, it's really fate for us to meet again so soon. It seems that you don't want to be my Spirit of Divine Weapon anymore."

Tang Huan chuckled as he took a few steps forward, the spear in his hand bounced up from his shoulder and started to tremble violently. The spear was shining with a bright light, the blazing heat spread out crazily and the sharp tip of the spear pointed straight at Eight Remoteness Dragon King.

"Tang Huan, do you really have to kill all of them?" Eight Remoteness Dragon King subconsciously retreated backwards as he roared in rage.

"Eight Remoteness Dragon King, are you joking with me?"

"Back then, when the Demon Clan invaded and started a massacre, I wonder how many more Human Clan's vengeful spirits were added to this Two Realms Plain, the Infernal Realm's desert, and the Sword Crafting Valley. Now, you actually dare to make me not kill them all?" The moment his voice fell, the Dragon and Phoenix Lance in Tang Huan's hands had already pierced forward. On the spearhead, flames billowed, instantly condensing into a Flaming Pointed Awl that roared out.
