Weapon seller in the world of magic-Novel



He walked toward the ice wall and then closed his eyes, raising his hands. Bright flames escaped his palms and took the shape of a large bird before rushing toward its target.

In the impacted region, ice slowly started melting. Some of the ministers who were in Shang Wei's support were impressed by the bloodline skill.

They were about to praise him but the melting ice recovered its solid state once again, throwing everyone into despair once again.

Shang Wei turned around and looked at his father, "Your Majesty, if you and I work together and unleash our bloodline skills, we could open the way."

Shang Fu nodded immediately, "Alright."

Soon, as the others backed away, the father and son duo unleashed their respective bloodline skills of the same type.

"Bloodline skill: the Arc of Inferno" "Bloodline skill: the Arc of Inferno"

Shang Fu used the sword and slashed at empty air, generating flames in the form of an arc and affecting a wide area. On the other hand, the third prince used his staff to slam the floor with the bottom of the handle. The effects were just the same, although less powerful than the former.

Including the frozen floor, everything within the affected region melted and everyone saw the door.

However, the ice appeared to have self-healing power. Just as it was about to recover its previous state, Bai Xun acted quickly by firing an energy arrow and destroying the door while everyone made their run toward the exit without knowing that it wasn't a prison but some sort of protective barrier.

They even managed to get out successfully only to see unconscious soldiers on the floor all around the corridor in the same places they were stationed.

Along with it, there was a huge hole made in the ceiling of the corridor, going all the way to the top. It only means that someone blasted through the walls continuously for four floors and escaped.

"What just happened here?" Shang Fu couldn't help but ask in wonder.

"I will enquire about it, Your Majesty," replied Bai Xun.

Meanwhile, in the skies far above the imperial city, two figures were seen battling against each other.

Every time they clashed, powerful waves were generated but thankfully, they were far high enough that those waves aren't reaching the city.

A couple of minutes later;

After another clash, they separated and looked at each other. One appeared to be enjoying himself while the other one already had signs of tiredness despite the fact that only three minutes have passed.

Letting out a pleasant smile, Bael spoke, "I must say you are quite talented in fighting, for a fake."

Taking heavy breaths, the deadly serious-looking Lan Jingyi answered, "I told you to stop calling me that, you disgusting creature. Nevertheless, I don't care as long as you will not come anywhere near my family."

"Family? Pfft… Hahahahaha" Bael broke out into laughter as he heard her words. "You are interesting, lady. Perhaps, if I wasn't on a job, I would have taken you back to my world for experimentation. I'm really curious about the process of your creation. You are neither an avatar nor a clone. Did your original create you through soul-splitting? I wonder…

Anyways, I have played around for so long. Now, if you excuse me, I need the life of a man named Li Zheng Kang. I will entertain you later, lady. But for now, you will have to stay aside for some time."

The demon king disappeared and appeared behind her.

She motioned her hand in reflex but Bael teleported before her and gave a powerful punch to her chin. He disappeared soon after.

Lan Jingyi felt dizzy as she flew upward for a while. Because the punch wasn't lethal, she managed to recover within 30 seconds and then proceeded to descend to the ground. 

By the time Lan Jingyi returned to the palace while wearing a robe with a hood and covering her face with a mask to hide her identity, she already found her husband and the others in an unconscious state. Bael was seen imprisoning an unconscious grand secretariat in a bone prison.

As she checked upon her husband and son, Bael waved his hand with a smile and disappeared with his prisoner. "See you later."

"What the hell is that guardian Yuqiang doing? Immortals are not allowed to roam this land." Lan Jingyi mumbled in anger but she knew that she cannot stop the demon from leaving.

She never thought of herself as the strongest being on the planet but she was confident that she could protect her family from any threats. It was the first time she felt so helpless at the moment and further wondered about the identity of the fellow who managed to form a contract with such a powerful demon.

Meanwhile, at the Kunyu Mountain range, Mark was waiting for the demon while kept looking at his pocket watch. "It's been five minutes already. I guess he was facing trouble with spotting the target."

Earlier, he thought that it will take Bael a while to accomplish his task and return to Helios City. The result? The demon king completed his mission too quickly. Thankfully, there was no cooldown on the skill. Hence, he was able to return to Mt. Lan once again to interrogate the assassins.

Unlike before, Bael's current task wouldn't need any waiting but he would have to search for the Grand Secretariat in the city with millions of population. Not to mention, there is no guarantee that Li Zheng Kang was currently residing in the city.

If it takes longer time, Mark would rather return to Helios City. Hence, he decided to wait for 15 minutes and then return.

Fortunately for him, Bael returned with the target before the time limit Mark set in his head.

Flexing his fingers, Mark mumbled, "Now, let's wake up this gentleman and extract the truth."

Meanwhile, in the Bloodhill forest;

An undead army, a powerful undead dragon, and Alina (Xia Fen) were following their master, the Necromancer King, as he resumed his aimless roaming in sector-1 and sector-2 regions of the forest right after he woke up.

After killing the lord of the Bloodhill forest and making its undead version his personal mount, he went on doing that for several hours until midnight while killing every creature he encounters on the way.

As the two innermost regions of the deadly forest were cleaned up completely within just a day, the Necromancer King's army only grew stronger with the addition of 8-circle and even 9-circle beast kings.

"Where is it? It's been more than fifteen hundred years since I was sealed away. My memories aren't clear yet." The Necromancer King appeared to be searching for something.

For the next three hours, he was relentlessly roaming and his soldiers were quietly following behind him without speaking anything.

Eventually, he ended up at the black dragon's lair once again. "I think I should search this area properly once again. This is the safest place to hide them after all."

He then turned around to look at the undead dragon and Alina/Xia Fen, his two strongest servants, "Xia Fen, both of you will take the left path. I want you to check if you see any path that is sealed up with the symbol of two dragons coiled around each other. They might be covered by rocks and soil but look carefully.

As for you, Xia Hei (undead dragon), I know that you don't have your memories but you still have the sense of a beast emperor of a Supreme Being beast. If you feel like there is something wrong, report it to Xia Fen."

The undead dragon let out a hiss and nodded firmly, implying that it understands. Soon, the lady and the dragon set out to the large tunnels in the left direction from the entrance.

The Necromancer King went in the other direction.

Nearly, an hour later, he reached the end of an underground cavern but failed to find what he was looking for.

"Dammit… Where the hell is my ancestors' army?"

Being frustrated by the failure, he got angry, and in rage, he slammed the tip of the scythe onto the ground using his ether energy.

Maybe, he used too much force. The ground beneath him started cracking and the entire place started shaking as if an earthquake occurred.

Realizing that he was underground, the Necromancer King quickly protected himself using an energy shield while floating in the air.

However, the collapse didn't happen as he anticipated.

Instead, only the ground beneath him was destroyed, revealing an energy barrier covered over a large scale. Only a part of it was seen from his point of view but he was more than happy to see it with his own eyes.

At the bottom of the barrier, there were thousands of statues placed around a tomb. There were torches on the wall still burning even after 1500 years.

Clenching his fist with a creepy smile on his face, he mumbled, "I thought I sealed them in a hidden dimension. But, it looks like I didn't. I won't have to find the seal…"

He raised the scythe and used almost all of his ether energy to launch a powerful beam of concentrated dark energy.

The beam struck the barrier and cracks started appearing all over it before making a huge hole.

The Necromancer King descended through the hole and landed on the ground.

Letting out laughter, the Necromancer King used the remaining energy to unleash threads of dark energy into the statues around him.

"Wake up, Xia's terracotta army. The time has come for us to reclaim our land. With my undead army as the support, there's no stopping us this time."

Each of the statues' eyes glowed simultaneously and every one of them started moving their limbs as if they were alive.
