Chapter 1 Gathering of the Weapon Bearers

Amidst the churning sea of clouds, three great suns slowly ascended, casting down ten thousand rays of light, piercing through the mist and illuminating heaven and earth.

A figure descended from the sky, standing upon the earth like a long blade, chilling and deadly, making it impossible to approach.

The person was draped in black, his physique slender yet sturdy, his face handsome yet grim, his features seemingly carved from ice and now as white as snow.

He ran his slender fingers across his chest.

There, a scarlet palm print was faintly visible between his fingers.

"Hoo!"

Sun En slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air tinged with blood, and looked towards the distant mountains. Within the opening and closing of his eyes, a divine blade seemed to rise and fall within them.

As his gaze opened and closed, his will seemed to rise and connect with the Qi of heaven and earth.

Invisible spiritual Qi poured in, entering his body, flowing with his true Qi, slowly restoring his injuries.

"Chi Lian..."

Sun En's eyes narrowed slightly.

After Pang Wan Yang's death, the Six Hells Demonic Sect had dispersed like smoke. The Scarlet Serpent Dharma King, White Lotus Madam, and the Netherfiend Wanderer, these three Divine Meridian experts, had each vanished into the populace, their whereabouts unknown.

For the past few years, he had been pursuing the whereabouts of the Demonic Sect's people.

Using the blood of ten thousand demonic disciples to sharpen the edge of his divine blade.

But unexpectedly, this had attracted the Scarlet Serpent Dharma King's pursuit. After one exchange, he was no match and nearly died at the Scarlet Serpent Dharma King's hands.

Although he had escaped by luck, he was also seriously injured.

If he hadn't encountered Wang Jiang Long, the Beggar Sect's leader, along the way, he feared he wouldn't have escaped this calamity.

Hoo!

After a long, long time, Sun En's body shook, and the palm print on his chest slowly dissipated.

"The Divine Meridian is indeed the Divine Meridian. Even from several miles away, a single palm could shatter my Dragon Finch Horizontal Body technique, which I had already trained to possess spirituality, almost killing me. I fear that even if I were to open all my meridians, and form the Great Heavenly Cycle with my Qi, I still might not be a match for a Divine Meridian Great Grandmaster..."

Sun En looked towards the distant mountains and muttered to himself:

"How did Grandfather Taoist manage to kill the Red Sun Dharma King, who was much stronger than the Scarlet Serpent Dharma King, with just a newly advanced Qi Meridian body?"

Sun En was very puzzled.

He possessed the Spring Autumn Dragon Finch Saber, and practiced the Dragon Finch Heavenly Art, pioneered by the Heavenly Human and perfected by successive Weapon Lords. Not only did he have the divine will guidance left by successive Weapon Lords, but he also had sparring partners who were most suited to him at all times.

He reckoned that whether it was in martial arts or combat methods, he would not be inferior to the Weapon Lords of previous generations at the same realm. His feelings must also be the feelings of the Weapon Lords of previous generations.

In fact, throughout history, unless the Heavenly Human Divine Weapon was completely revived, even the Weapon Lords themselves, there were not many who could kill Divine Meridian experts with a Qi Meridian body.

And the few Divine Meridian experts who were rumored to have been killed by Weapon Lords without divine weapons were merely those who had just achieved 'Astral Projection' and had not yet cleansed their divine weapons or refined protective Stellar Qi, absolutely incomparable to the Red Sun Dharma King, a Divine Meridian Great Expert who was close to breaking through the Grand Yin Limitless realm.

Even what the Weapon Lords couldn't do, was actually done by his Grandfather Taoist.

Feeling the vast and heavy Qi before the mountains, like the sky, feeling the vibration and humming of the Dragon Finch Saber in his mind, Sun En couldn't help but slowly exhale.

The more his cultivation advanced, the more he felt the shock of An Qi Sheng's deeds.

Killing the Red Sun in Liang Province, attacking the Scarlet Wyrm Army led by three Divine Meridian experts in the Fengdu Snow Plains with an unformed Divine Meridian body... These things, one by one, were things that even the Weapon Lords of previous generations may not have been able to do.

And the Spring Autumn Dragon Finch Saber, which vibrated madly to warn him whenever he got close.

All of this made him deeply revere this Taoist grandfather who had once saved him and was now the number one person in the world.

"Grandfather Taoist's hundredth birthday is coming up, I must go to wish him a happy birthday. You don't need to persuade me..."

Sun En communicated with the Dragon Finch Saber, ignoring the latter's vibration and humming, and was about to walk towards the distant Hua Yan Mountains.

Suddenly, his body shook, and he slowly turned his head.

He saw a person strolling slowly from afar.

Saying slowly, but in reality, his speed was extremely fast. In just a few steps, he had already crossed several hundred Zhang of land.

That person was dressed in purple, with long hair draped over his shoulders, his appearance exquisitely beautiful, like a noble young master from a painting walking into reality.

Feeling the light tremor of the Dragon Finch Saber, his eyes narrowed slightly:

"Wu Ling City!"

The world was very big, but sometimes very small. So big that some people could not meet even if they wanted to, and so small that they could run into each other at any time.

He knew the person coming.

This purple-clothed youth was named Wu Ling City, born into a martial arts family that had declined to the point of even losing its ancestral martial arts. He was much older than him, and had already cultivated the Great Heavenly Cycle of the Qi Meridian, and his martial arts had developed spirituality, only one step away from the Divine Meridian.

More importantly, this Wu Ling City was also a Weapon Lord, wielding the Fiery Sun Seven Kill Ruler.

The Fiery Sun Seven Kill Ruler was not only a killing divine weapon, but also possessed many divine wills, rumored to be able to sense things that ordinary people could not detect, and was the most mysterious.

Only the master of the Fiery Sun Seven Kill Ruler was most likely to find other Weapon Lords before the Heavenly Human Divine Weapons had been revived.

Unlike other Weapon Lords, who would only discover each other after getting close.

"Sun En, you really came."

The purple-clothed youth Wu Ling City stopped a hundred Zhang away, the corners of his mouth raised, and opened his mouth with a faint smile:

"I heard that you were hunted down by the Scarlet Serpent Dharma King, and almost killed. Do you want this young master to avenge you?"

"I will kill Chi Lian sooner or later!"

Sun En's face was indifferent, and his voice was even more indifferent:

"Wu Ling City, did you come here to laugh at me?"

"Heh heh!"

Wu Ling City didn't care about Sun En's indifferent attitude at all, his smile becoming more and more amiable:

"You are only thirteen or fourteen years old this year. When I was as old as you, I was not as good as you. How could I laugh at you?"

"Are you looking for me?"

Sun En remained calm on the surface, but his heart carried a trace of vigilance.

Wu Ling City's martial arts were above him, and he was also a Weapon Lord. Unlike other Great Accomplishment Qi Meridian experts, once they fought, he was afraid he would not be a match.

"I heard that you had a misfortune when you were a child, and that Taoist Wang Quan saved you? And he also taught you martial arts..."

Wu Ling City's eyes turned, and he asked with a trace of curiosity:

"Is that true?"

"That's right! Grandfather Taoist saved me."

The vigilance in Sun En's heart grew even stronger.

Being a Weapon Lord did not mean being a good person. Among the Weapon Lords of previous generations, there were no lack of ruthless and unfeeling devils. His martial arts were not yet accomplished, and he had no intention of meeting other Weapon Lords at all.

"Grandfather Taoist..."

Wu Ling City touched his chin, and took out a folding fan from who knows where, opening it with a 'Shua':

"In that case, that's right!"

Hoo~

Sun En's clothes on his back fluttered, and the long blade on his back buzzed and trembled:

"What do you want to do?"

"Don't misunderstand."

Wu Ling City lightly shook the folding fan, his hair fluttering: "We don't have the ability to plot against Taoist Wang Quan at this time. You don't need to worry about that."

"You?!"

Sun En's eyes narrowed slightly.

"That's right, it's us."

Wu Ling City closed the folding fan, let out a light whistle, and the sound waves shook the ten-mile plain, seeming to even disperse the clouds and mist at the edge of the sky:

"Fellow Daoists, please show yourselves!"

Rumble!

As the sound waves vibrated, the surrounding Qi surged.

Figures stepped through the air and broke through the waves, striding from afar amidst the rolling winds.

"This is...other Weapon Lords?!"

Feeling the violent trembling of the Spring Autumn Dragon Finch Saber in his mind, Sun En's expression finally changed.

He raised his eyes to look.

In the due east, the wind rose, and as the grass and trees on the earth fell like waves, a black-clothed youth came holding a spear and riding a horse.

The horse was pure white, eight Chi tall at the shoulder, and was a superior flood dragon horse. The spear was twelve Chi long, with a red tassel like fire, its momentum flamboyant, like a long spear piercing through the sky.

The Great Yu Spear Lord!

Sun En's eyes turned, and in the due west, a green-clothed girl came riding the wind, her figure as light and agile as a swallow, but her eyes carried a trace of faint coldness.

Her speed was extremely fast, but there was not a trace of air-piercing sound, as if even the sound of the wind being broken had been cut off.

The current Bi Xie Cold Moon Blade Lord was actually a woman.

And the most overbearing momentum.

Was the yellow-clothed youth who strode from the center, his hair dancing wildly, like a lion, like a true dragon.

Yellow, was not an ordinary yellow, but the bright yellow that only kings could wear, and there was even a true dragon pattern on it!

And behind him, he carried a large bow that was almost as tall as him!

The Vault of Heaven Sun Piercing Bow Lord!

"The current Weapon Lords, except for the Dragon King Armor that fell into Wang Quan Taoist's hands, as well as the Heaven Slaying Sword Lord, and the Great Dragon Banner Lord, are all here!"

Wu Ling City clapped his hands with the fan bone and laughed:

"Fate, is truly wonderful!"

"Fifth Young Master, Brother Sun!"

The green-clothed girl Shao Hua Cen landed gently and silently, smiled lightly, and said: "Little sister Shao Hua Cen."

"Haha! Is this the current Dragon Finch Saber Lord?"

The lion-like yellow-clothed youth landed and cupped his hands:

"Cang Liu greets all fellow Daoists."

Xi lulu~

The white horse neighed, and the Great Yu Spear Lord stood a hundred Zhang away, and said loudly: "Yuan Xing Yi greets everyone."

Sun En's chest rose and fell slightly, his expression unable to calm down.

Eight great Weapon Lords, including himself, had actually gathered five here!

Except for the Dragon King Armor that was suspected of falling into Grandfather Taoist's hands, as well as the extremely demonic Heaven Slaying Sword Lord, who was rumored to be the sharpest, and the Great Dragon Banner Lord, the current Weapon Lords were almost all here!

More importantly.

These people were all older than him, all of their Qi Meridians had formed the Great Heavenly Cycle, and their martial arts were all above his own.

"What do you want to do by gathering together and coming to find me?"

Sun En's mind was steady, and he had calmed down after the initial shock.

In any case, panic could not solve anything. This was a truth he had understood when he fell off a cliff at the age of six.

"Fifth Young Master, didn't you tell Brother Sun?"

The green-clothed girl Shao Hua Cen smiled slightly, looked at Sun En, and said softly:

"Brother Sun, don't panic. We are all Weapon Lords of this generation and will not be detrimental to you."

She paused, and seeing that Wu Ling City had not spoken, she said:

"We came here this time, in reality, it is for Wang Quan Taoist..."

"Oh?"

Sun En responded coldly upon hearing this: "With your current strength, you dare to go to Wang Quan Mountain?"

Even if the Weapon Lords had any potential, the few of them combined at this time could not possibly be a match for a Grand Yin Limitless realm expert, let alone the number one person in the world.

"What's there to be afraid of? This young master has studied the deeds of Wang Quan Taoist. This number one person in the world is not Pang Wan Yang. Although his subordinates are ruthless, they never kill innocent people indiscriminately. Although we are Weapon Lords, we have no evil deeds, so how can we not go to Wang Quan Mountain?"

"Moreover, other than you and me, no one in the world can detect Heavenly Human Divine Weapons, not even Wang Quan Taoist!"

Wu Ling City's expression rarely lost its smile:

"Unless he has refined the Dragon King Armor!"
