Chapter 2218 The Ones Spying on Chu Kuangren, Weaponsmithing Match, A Clash Between Sword and Saber
"How insolent!"
Lan Yu bellowed and cast an icy glare at Lu Yun across the room. "Who gave you the right to speak to my Master this way?"
Chu Kuangren glanced at him and said indifferently, "The one thing I hate most is being threatened. Send them off, Lan Yu."
"Yes."
Lan Yu looked at the Dragon Hunters and said, "Please leave now."
"Brother Chu, please allow us to discuss things amicably."
Wang Yi still wanted to speak, but Chu Kuangren had already disappeared.
Frustrated, the Dragon Hunters had no choice but to leave.
Outside Pan Gu Sect, Lu Yun scowled. "What's so special about this Chu Kuangren, Elder Wang? I say, if we can't do it the easy way, we might as well go about it the hard way."
Wang Yi sneered. "If you want to make yourself a target of three Monarchs, be my guest and do it the hard way. Let's see who can protect you when that time comes."
"You speak as if there are no Monarchs in the Dragon Hunters," Lu Yun replied stubbornly with a wry smile.
Nevertheless, he understood that even the Monarch of the Dragon Hunters would not simply go against the forces of three Monarchs.
"What should we do now, Elder Wang?"
"Let's stay in Myriad Arms City for a while. We shall wait for another opportunity to negotiate with Chu Kuangren. After all, we Dragon Hunters are not a force to be trifled with either. With various treasures at our disposal, all we need to do now is persuade him more and constantly apply pressure. I believe we'll eventually obtain the Dragonslayer," Wang Yi said while leading the group to find a temporary place to stay in Myriad Arms City.
…
"Master, they haven't left."
In the Pan Gu Sect, Lan Yu informed Chu Kuangren after receiving news about it.
"Alright, noted."
Chu Kuangren nodded. In fact, he was not surprised by that.
The Dragonslayer was a Divine Weapon that belonged to the Dragon Hunters, so it was no surprise that they would not give up getting it back. However, since Chu Kuangren had it, there was no way he would return it. He wanted to see what tricks the Dragon Hunters would pull after this.
"Lan Yu, let's go for a walk," Chu Kuangren said.
"Alright."
The two of them walked out of Pan Gu Sect and strolled around Myriad Arms City.
Myriad Arms City did not have many interesting places to visit.
Weapon and equipment shops were everywhere.
Due to the Blazing Flame Volcano, the surrounding temperature was frighteningly high.
The base of operations for Pan Gu Sect was inside a cavern Chu Kuangren created. Unless it was necessary, the Pan Gu Sect cultivators would not go out.
Besides working on their cultivation, there was nowhere to visit in the Myriad Arms City.
However, Armament Destruction was an exception.
Since he cultivated the Blazing Flame Dao and Armament Destruction Dao, the Blazing Flames inside Myriad Arms City benefited him because the boundless Carnage qi all over Feng Domain was gathered here in Blazing Flame Volcano. Hence, he alone had settled down at the volcano.
"Clang! Clang…"
Sounds of metal forging could be heard. Chu Kuangren glanced at them and recalled tonnes of knowledge about forging weapons in his mind.
It only struck him then that he recently obtained a Transcendent-tier Weaponsmith's Inheritance.
He started walking around Myriad Arms City with great interest, observing the techniques of countless weaponsmiths.
In the end, he felt a little dissatisfied.
It felt to him that Myriad Arms City was now nothing more than an ordinary city.
He would never have felt that way before.
"Tsk. It looks like the increase in my knowledge and standard in weaponsmithing changed me," Chu Kuangren thought.
"Master, there's a group of people spying on you."
Lil Ai's voice rang out in his mind.
"I know. What business do they have with me? Can you tell?"
Now that three Monarchs had his back, Chu Kuangren had become the spotlight of attention for everyone in the world. It was no surprise that the spies and scouts from various forces were now present in Myriad Arms City.
From the moment he appeared, there had been many eyes on him.
They were from various forces, like the Heavenly Formation Palace, Divine Sword Palace, Celestial Divine Tribe, Devil Tribe, and more. Some were even from the Radiant Church.
"Master, judging from the auras of these people, they are from a dragon-blooded clan," Lil Ai replied.
"Oh, a dragon-blooded clan?"
Chu Kuangren remembered Huang Jiulong, whom he killed a while ago.
First, the Dragon Hunters came to negotiate with him, and now people from the dragon-blooded clan were spying on him.
Was it a coincidence?
Chu Kuangren rubbed his chin and thought about it.
"Master Ou Yenuo's match with the unnamed weaponsmith is about to begin," a weaponsmith announced.
Everyone was startled.
"Let's go check it out."
"I finally get to see Master Ou Yenuo in action today. How wonderful."
"Let's go."
It also piqued Chu Kuangren's interest. "Let's head over there."
He and Lan Yu arrived at the peak of Blazing Flame Volcano.
There, Ou Yenuo and a weaponsmith in long black robes were competing with each other in weaponsmithing. Both sides took turns demonstrating a variety of weaponsmithing techniques.
Among those techniques, Ou Yenuo continued using the Blazing Flame Volcano's unique Blazing Flame in his craft.
Meanwhile, the man in black robes was using a reddish-golden flame with faint traces of Hongmeng spiritual qi flowing from it.
It was an extremely powerful flame.
"It's a Hongmeng Divine Flame!" someone exclaimed in shock.
The Hongmeng Divine Flame was a general term.
It simply described Divine Flames that had reached the Hongmeng level.
"The True Hongmeng Crimson Solar Flame!"
Ou Yenuo looked at his opponent's flame with a serious expression. "The fact that you have a Divine Flame like this means that you're not just any weaponsmith. Your name is surely on the Hongmeng Weaponsmith Leaderboard, and you're likely in the top ten!"
The black-robed man chuckled but did not disclose his identity. "Today, I shall use this True Hongmeng Crimson Solar Flame to fight the Myriad Arms City's Blazing Flame!"
"Bring it on," Ou Yenuo said.
The person before him possessed extraordinary weaponsmithing skills, and it made Ou Yenuo take him seriously. Most importantly, that person was keeping his identity concealed as if he had a motive to do so.
Ou Yenuo realized he was too rash to agree to that duel.
However, his pride as Myriad Arms City's strongest weaponsmith did not allow him to back down.
The flames continued to burn and melt various forging materials.
The weaponsmithing match was a simple one. Both sides would use the same materials, and they would find out which one of them could create a better weapon out of it.
"Interesting."
Chu Kuangren's eyes lit up when he saw the black-robed man's weaponsmithing technique. As he had the Transcendent-tier Weaponsmith's Inheritance, he knew all the various intricacies in the weaponsmithing match before him.
He was tempted to participate in the match too.
After a while, the match between both weaponsmiths came to an end. Their weapons gradually took form, with Ou Yenuo's being a sword and the black-robed man's being a saber.
Endless brilliance erupted when both their weapons were completed.
A chilling sword and saber intent spread everywhere.
Everyone looked at the saber and sword excitedly.
"The critical moment has come."
Everyone held their breaths and fixed their eyes on the battlefield.
Ou Yenuo and the black-robed man each held their weapon with a serious look on their faces before they attacked with their weapons with full strength.
"Boom!"
A terrifying aura swept out.
Following that, the crowd heard a weapon break with a loud clang. The sword that Ou Yenuo forged was… broken in half!
"I… Have I lost?"
Ou Yenuo looked at the broken sword in his hand, lost in thought.
