Weapon seller in the world of magic-Novel

The invisibility wore off right away and Yao Ling was seen on his knees with two on his stomach of which one of them cleanly pierced the navel while the other only heavily bruised the skin.

The blood was gushing out of his navel at a rapid pace while he helplessly fell to the side, "you bastard…"

Meanwhile, Lin Xue, who leaped forward in reflex, slowly landed on the ground and looked at the scene.

A look of surprise appeared on her face, "Yao Ling was defeated just like that?" She turned her head to look at Allen, who then explained, "I attacked his navel, where not only the central focal point of the energy pathway system is located but was also one of the vulnerable parts of the human. Without any external defensive barrier on top of a body, it is easy for my laser beams to strike it. He was quite careless to attack me, I should say."

As Lin Xue stared at him in a daze, feeling it very hard to believe her eyes, Allen reminded her to quickly heal the unconscious party or else, the latter would die due to blood loss.

She hurriedly healed her bodyguard by pouring potions on the injured part while Allen scanned the barrier and walked toward it.

Touching the scarlet barrier, he mumbled, "Hmm… the barriers were stuck onto each other. The defensive stat is about 7.6 and has no weak spots. It can be solved by unleashing either the light dragon or a light beam.

But, the only problem is that the cool-down periods vary on the outcome. If we face an unexpectedly strong opponent, then, these skills from the sword will come into use. In such a case, it is too much of a waste."

As Allen was formulating a strategy to get out of this place, Lin Xue, meanwhile, sent her lightning attribute energy into the body of Yao Ling and made sure to paralyze all the ether particles so that even if he woke up later on and tries to free himself, they would get enough time to knock him out again.

Allen takes out the divine sword of Emperor Shun and the lightning sword in Lin Xue's hands started shaking wildly. "Hmm, what happened, Lei?"

Usually, all the semi-divine grade traditional weapons develop a certain amount of consciousness due to the cores of the beasts that were used in their creation.

That is also the reason why Doom's scythe tried to escape from Mark's grasp, back when he acquired it from the assassins of the Church of Doom.

If it isn't for the fact that the system wiped out Emperor Shun's soul fragment and the weapon's consciousness from the divine sword, it would have been impossible for Allen to even wield it with his current strength.

Anyways, back to the present situation, Lin Xue's semi-divine weapon, which she was using for more than a decade, spoke its mind through telepathy. It appears to be afraid of the sword in Allen's hands.

It only then did Lin Xue finally realize the odd situation and turned her head to look in the direction of Allen. Her eyes fell on the glowing divine sword and widened in surprise.

Dismissing her lightning sword, she left the unconscious Yao Ling on the ground and walked toward him with a look of surprise, "Allen, what sword is that? The intensity of its aura is off the charts."

"My master gifted me," replied Allen with a proud smile on his face before raising it above his head. Looking at it, she thought, "it looks like Owner Lu wasn't as bad as he appears, after all. He indeed treats Allen more than a servant or a simple family member."

The light energy flowing into the sword glowed brighter as he swung it down. Cracks appeared on the lower part of the barrier where the sword slashed down. He swung it down at that part, two more times, and then finished with a punch. A hole was formed in the barrier.

Both of them got out of the cave while carrying an unconscious person respectively. They moved at a slow pace without forgetting to be keeping an eye on the surroundings.

About 35-40 minutes later, Yao Ling got out of his unconscious state. As soon as Lin Xue heard him groan while opening his eyes, she threw him onto the ground and summoned her weapon before moving to Allen's side just in case.

Thankfully, he appeared to be himself without the signs of being hypnotized again, thereby reducing a great headache for the Lin Clan's heiress.

Yao Ling first expressed his confusion about how he was in the forest when he was supposed to be captured. Once it was cleared by Lin Xue, he then explained of his story.

After following the assassin to the hideout, he got caught and fought with a couple of 6-circle realm experts before taking on the boss, which eventually led to his capture.

From his story, Lin Xue once again confirmed that the enemy is indeed far stronger than they can handle.

She already decided to quietly leave this place. Hence, there is no change in the plan, although their speed was rather quick with Yao Ling volunteering to carry their lone baggage while sending him to an unconscious state every time he wakes up.

Six more hours passed away and the sunlight slowly disappeared over the Phoenix Empire. As they were too careful and went on a longer route under Allen's guidance, it took them a while to finally escape not only the forest but also the ambushes placed at several exits of the forest.

At the moment, they were almost at the border of Qing province and the Kunyu mountain range. Allen's strategy is to go into the mountains and take a detour to the imperial city.

By taking full advantage of his scanning ability, Allen was confident about losing the trail in the mountains. Of course, he was confident about taking the enemy but Lin Xue insisted on avoiding the battle at all costs. She might be brave but not foolish and reckless. Hence, Allen had to opt for this method.

However, even he didn't anticipate the enemy's bold move.

Just as they reached one of the peaks of the Tuoshan hills, the place outside the Qing province's border where they planned to rest for the night, a large-scale golden barrier was erected from four sides, trapping them in between.

The four elderly mages who created the barrier through joint effort started walking toward their target.

"What the…" Lin Xue's widened in surprise and Yao Ling panicked. He immediately made a request, "Young miss, use the teleportation scroll and escape from here."

"How in the hell we walked straight into the trap?" Lin Xue questioned Allen without bothering to hear Yao Ling's request.

This time, Allen didn't have an answer. He shook his head, "I don't know. But, I'm sure that there is no trap laid here before we reached."

"That means they anticipated your strategy and were waiting for us here?" asked Lin Xue, feeling that her suspicion might be right.

Allen thought for a bit and answered, "Either that or they were tracking us from far away every second. I cannot sense anyone's presence around 500 meters though."

"A tracking seal?" Lin Xue's attention immediately shifted to her bodyguard who could only bitterly smile upon realization. "Damn..."
