Chapter 225   Armor

The six caves were arranged in a triangular formation. There were three at the bottom, two in the middle, and one above.magic

The place Tang Huan wanted to go to, was precisely the cave at the very top. It was said that these caves were where the previous elders of the Sword Crafting Valley cultivated.

"Phew!" "

Tang Huan moved extremely quickly, and in a short while, he had already bypassed the Lunar Tomb and arrived at the bottom of the cliff.

The cliff wall was as smooth as a mirror. The tallest cave was more than ten meters away from the ground.

"Huh?"

In the area behind Pang Shuo's Sword Monument, the ground was actually left with extremely obvious and rather fresh marks. The ground was filled with potholes, gullies and ravines, and what was especially eye-catching was that there were even a few golden arrows scattered at the bottom of the cliff.

In this place, there should have been an intense battle.

"Looking at the traces left behind, the battle must have happened not too long ago, probably after I, Mu Yan and Gu Ying entered the 'Mazy Sword Valley'. The battle is taking place here. It's highly likely that one of them is the one controlling the blood spirit and the vengeful spirit. As for the other one … "

Tang Huan thought for a while, then carefully looked around, his gaze finally landing on the few golden arrows, "Among all the weapons, Martial Warriors s with bows and arrows are few in number, and there are even fewer experts with deep knowledge in this field. The most famous one is the Sha Long Empire's Ten Thousand Generals Dugu Yan. The technique he cultivates is the 'Nine Star Linked Pearl', it is unrivalled in the world, I am afraid no one can compare to it … "

"Could that person be Dugu Yan?"

Tang Huan's heart skipped a beat, he was not just making wild guesses.

Until now, there were only three experts who used bows as their weapon. One of them was Shan Shan, but her bow was a Divine Armament, and looking at the way she was fighting against the Howling Firmament Wolf King, the arrows she was using were all made up of energy, and not real objects like these. The second was Zhang Ye, a thousand generals under Shi Zhongda's command. As for the third, it was the Sha Long Empire's Dugu Yan.

Amongst the three of them, Shan Shan was still in Glory Continent, so he shouldn't have appeared here.

Zhang Ye was not strong enough, so the possibility of him entering this place was basically zero. On the other hand, Dugu Yan not only had sufficient strength, but also sufficient motivation to enter Sword Crafting Valley.

The arrows were clearly extraordinary, but Dugu Yan did not pick them up. There was only one possibility — Dugu Yan had most likely been injured in the great battle, which was why he had fled in such a hurry. However, the guy controlling the blood spirits and vengeful spirits, was probably in no better shape. Otherwise, even with the suppression from the boundless sword intent, it was impossible for him to turn a blind eye to Tang Huan after he had arrived."Both of us were defeated?"

Tang Huan thought, but did not let his guard down.

After pondering for a moment, Tang Huan leapt into the air. Using the momentum, he placed his palm on the side of the cave and activated his Spirit Qi, causing his body to soar into the sky and enter inside the cave.

A dense and cold Qi swept out from the pitch black inside the cave, and immediately, two fist-sized groups of blood-red luster appeared in Tang Huan's line of sight.

"Hmm?"

Tang Huan's heart trembled.

In the next moment, the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" and the three levels of Spiritual Wheel were activated to their limits. The vigorous Genuine Qi that contained the heat of the Spiritual Fire immediately rushed into the "Dragon and Phoenix Lance" like raging waves.

"Buzz!"

An intense trembling sound echoed out, and an incomparably gorgeous green light shot out from within the spear. The originally bright red spear head seemed to have received a great shock, exploding out with an even more dazzling red light, followed by a fierce roar of heat.

In the time it took to snap a finger, the temperature of the area suddenly rose and the cold air was quickly dispersed.

"Chi!"

But right at this moment, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded, and a black streak of light shot over like lightning. The gloomy and cold Qi seemed to have quickly condensed around the black beam, and with shocking speed, it pierced through the scorching void like an incomparably sharp awl, straight towards Tang Huan's chest.

Tang Huan did not hesitate at all. Seemingly at the instant the black light flashed, Tang Huan swept out the Dragon and Phoenix Lance in his hand.

"Clang!"

The sound of the violent clash spread throughout the inside the cave and was extremely deafening.Tang Huan felt the long spear in his hand shake violently, his palm tingled with pain, and the moment the spear head was repelled by the immense force, he also couldn't help but stagger to the left.

Almost at the same time, the cave was illuminated by the translucent light of the Dragon and Phoenix Lance. The situation inside was also brought into Tang Huan's eyes.

It was only at this moment that Tang Huan saw clearly that the person who attacked him was actually wearing an armor.

Helmet, shoulder piece, arm piece, gloves, breastplate, waist guard, as well as two boots … It was unknown what kind of ore was used to forge these things. They were made of gold and silver, and their shapes were extremely exaggerated. There was an extremely sharp hook blade embedded into the shoulder, arm, and even the place of the boots.

If he was to wear all these, it could be said that he would be fully armed.

However, the person clad in this armor was not a human with flesh body, but rather a living being that seemed like a vengeful spirit.

Not only was its body more solid than a normal vengeful spirit, there were strands of blue Qi within its black body, making it look like a blood vessel in the body, and inside the helmet, there were two fist-sized Blood Red Odor s floating, shaped like eyeballs.

At this moment, the armored vengeful spirit was wielding a longsword in his hands. The dark blue sword was surrounded by black energy.

In that previous intense collision, not only was Tang Huan's footsteps weak, even the armored vengeful spirit seemed to be unable to endure it any longer, and flew towards the right at almost the same time. However, its reaction was extremely fast and nimble, its left hand quickly pushed up against the wall, and its body pounced over once again. The longsword in its hand shone with a ghostly light, as it directly swept towards Tang Huan's neck.

Seeing that, not only did Tang Huan not panic, he had actually made up his mind.

Judging from the exchange just now, the two sides were actually almost evenly matched. It seemed that his earlier judgement was not wrong. If this fellow had fought a battle with Dugu Yan a few days ago, he would have suffered the same heavy injuries as Dugu Yan and would still be recovering from it.

Tang Huan felt that this person's current strength might not even be comparable to the Sha Long Empire's Thousand Generals Chu Feng.

If it was twenty to thirty days ago, when Tang Huan faced such an opponent, he could only choose to escape. But now, Tang Huan already wanted to advance to Stage Six Martial Master, so even if he met Chu Feng again, he was completely confident that he would be able to win.

"Buzz!"

In a flash, Tang Huan's reaction was even slower than before, the long spear trembled like a divine dragon swinging its tail, and struck at the gap between the opponent's breastplate and waist guard. On the tip of the spear, a layer of flame immediately appeared, and an even more scorching heat surged crazily, as though even the air was burning.
