Weapon Master

The old man seemed to be walking very slowly, but his speed was extremely fast. In just a short moment, he was already less than ten meters away from the group.    

Moreover, even though he was very old, he had an extremely terrifying aura surging out from his body when he raised his hand, causing one's heart to palpitate.    

"Who are you?"    

Zhang Ye growled once again, his eyes staring straight at the old man in green, a deep fear uncontrollably appearing in his eyes.    

The green robed elder acted as if he did not hear it, and in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Tang Huan, bowing deeply as he said, "Young Noble Wu You, leave this matter to this old servant."    

Seeing that, not only Zhang Ye, Shi Qian, Li He and the others, even Mu Yan and Gu Ying who were the most familiar with Tang Huan had expressions of shock and bewilderment.    

What was the background of this fellow? There was actually someone who called himself an "old servant" in front of him, and furthermore, this person who called himself an old servant, was probably even stronger than Zhang Ye. It was extremely likely that this person was a Great Martial Master at the peak of the seventh step, could it be that no one else did not know of his identity?    

"Elder Lu?"    

Tang Huan finally regained his senses and asked with some shock, "Why are you here?"    

This old man in green was shockingly the "Grandfather Lu" that Shan Shan had spoken of. Back then, he was the Mo Dan that helped him to take down Mo Ye.    

From what Tang Huan knew, his real name seemed to be Lu Chen.    

He appeared here, could it be that Shan Shan also came here? As Tang Huan thought about it again, a hint of happiness uncontrollably appeared between his brows.    

"This old servant has always been by Young Master's side." Lu Chen said while beaming.    

"Oh?"    

Tang Huan was startled at first, but then he understood the meaning behind his words.    

Shan Shan did not come to the Sword Crafting Valley, but the reason why Lu Chen appeared here was because he had always been by his side ever since they left the Nulang City. It was probably because Shan Shan was worried about him heading to the Phoenix Mountain alone, hence he had sent Lu Chen to protect him from the shadows.    

Instantly, a strand of warmth surfaced at the bottom of Tang Huan's heart.    

At this moment, Lu Chen had already turned around and was walking toward Zhang Ye.    

In the eyes of others, Lu Chen was still just strolling leisurely like before. But in the eyes of Zhang Ye, the thin and frail body in front of him was as majestic as a mountain.    

In the next moment, the blood vitality in Zhang Ye's body started to fluctuate rapidly, and he uncontrollably took a step back.    

Every time Lu Chen took a step forward, he would retreat a step. When he retreated to the ninth step, Zhang Ye could no longer hold it in and spat out a mouthful of blood.    

"Uncle Zhang, you ?"    

Looking at this strange scene, Shi Qian was inexplicably shocked. He could no longer ask any more questions.    

Not only him, Gu Ying, Li He, and the few hundred soldiers were all stunned by this unbelievable scene. Such a situation was completely beyond the knowledge of the crowd. To be able to force a Great Martial Master of the seventh step to vomit blood without even making a move, how terrifying must his strength be?    

Could it be that before anyone noticed, the old man had already used some sort of mystical battle skill?    

In an instant, the entire mountain cave became deathly silent.    

Tang Huan could not help but reveal a surprised look in his eyes. When he was at the Nulang City, he already knew that Lu Chen was powerful. But looking at the situation at this moment, the strength of Lu Chen's strength far exceeded his expectations. Could it be that he was not a Great Martial Master at the peak of the seventh step, but a Stage Eight Martial Lord?    

Beside Tang Huan, the red silk in Mu Yan's palm had already been secretly withdrawn. A pair of beautiful eyes swept between Tang Huan and Lu Chen, filled with deep curiosity.    

"Lord Thousand Generals, do you know who this old man is now?" Lu Chen stopped and smiled.    

"You ? You are ?"    

A look of shock flashed past Zhang Ye's eyes, as though he recognized Lu Chen, but when the words reached his mouth, he swallowed them back. Soon after, Zhang Ye took a deep breath, glanced at Tang Huan, and wiped the blood at the corner of his lips. With a gloomy face, he shouted, "Let's go!"    

"Wait a minute, it won't be too late to leave the items behind!" Lu Chen smiled sincerely and said leisurely.    

"What is it?"    

Zhang Ye's face changed.    

Lu Chen laughed but did not say a word, and only looked at Zhang Ye quietly.    

On the other hand, Zhang Ye's face became more and more unsightly. The back of his right hand that was holding onto the blade was suddenly tightened and relaxed, as though he wanted to attack but did not dare to do so. After a long while, Zhang Ye clenched his teeth and took out a small black bundle from his bosom and threw it towards Lu Chen: "Since you want it, then take it!"    

Lu Chen caught the bag and nodded his head in satisfaction. He then waved his hand and said, "You can leave now, but he has to stay!"    

With that, Lu Chen pointed at Shi Qian.    

"Uncle Zhang!"    

Shi Qian woke up from his stupor and turned pale white. He wanted to run towards Zhang Ye.    

But before he could even move a withered hand claw had grabbed him by the neck, a wave of cold immediately rushed from the neck bone to the tailbone. Shi Qian felt his body becoming stiff, and he was no longer able to move.    

"Let him go!"    

"Old man, don't go overboard. Don't think that you came from that place, this general is afraid of you!"    

"Since that's the case, why didn't the Lord Thousand Generals use a saber?" Lu Chen indifferently brandished his blade.    

"You!"    

Zhang Ye's face was flushed red, his breath wheezing. Clearly, he was angered to the extreme, his right hand was already trembling slightly, but in the end, he still forced himself not to make a move.    

"What this old man hates the most in his life is this kind of shameless person who plays with kindness. Since this old man has seen it today, I will definitely not let it go." Lu Chen squinted his eyes and laughed.    

"Uncle Zhang!"    

Shi Qian seemed to have sensed something and roared, his handsome face was filled with despair. Just then, with a cracking sound, Lu Chen used a bit of force and broke his neck, then he raised his hand, and Shi Qian's body flew towards Zhang Ye.    

However, without saying a word, he waved his hand and actually took the lead as he walked out of the cave. In just the blink of an eye, hundreds of people had already disappeared without a trace.    

However, as if he had done something insignificant, Lu Chen turned and walked towards Tang Huan with a smile.    

Li He and the rest held their breaths with rapt attention. When their gazes landed on Tang Huan, their faces were filled with shock. Not only did he possess a levelled up weapon that could kill vengeful spirits, an old servant by his side also possessed a terrifying strength. First, he forced Zhang Ye to retreat weirdly, and then he directly forced Zhang Ye to hand over an item.    

What was even more inconceivable was that Zhang Ye, a dignified Great Martial Master of the seventh step, actually did not resist at all. It was as if he was rather afraid of the power behind the old man.
