Zuhn took one step outside of the blacksmith and his vision was filled with gray. All the colors in the city were gone, just replaced with a plain layer of gray.Along with the layer of gray that filled the area, there was no one around. There weren"t any men around the blacksmith, and there weren"t any people in the markets.
The stands that once had many people running around selling items were no longer there. Zuhn looked up into the sky, the bright blue sky was now replaced with gloomy clouds.
Feeling that someone with killing intent was looking at him, Zuhn bent down. Seconds after Zuhn bent down an arrow flew over him. Crashing into a nearby wall, crumbling the stone wall to the ground.
After the arrow hit the wall, Zuhn looked up to see where the arrow came from. Looking up, Zuhn saw three people standing on top of several roofs.
The three people were wearing full black suits, along with a black hood. In front of them were dark large bows. The bows had a small amount of magic that was coming off them.
On the bows, there was an arrow with a glowing red tip. Zuhn a.s.sumed that the arrow was going to be a type of elemental arrow. From the glowing red tip, it was a fire elemental.
The person in the middle of the group pulled the bowstring back, aiming the glowing tip arrow at Zuhn. Zuhn instinctively pulled out his two daggers and held them in front of his head.
The two other archers that were to the sides of the middle archer rushed forward. Both of the archers had their hands in their back pockets.
Zuhn used magical sense to see what the two archers were holding behind them. To Zuhn"s surprise, the archers were holding two small daggers.
A small grin leaked from Zuhn"s face.
"Now!"
One of the two archers that were approaching Zuhn shouted.
The archer in the back shot the glowing tip arrow into the air. Zuhn slowly saw the arrow come close, while still watching the archers in front of him.
With Zuhn"s left hand he slashed the arrow out of the air. The archers that were running towards Zuhn saw the opportunity and pulled out their daggers.
"Intruder!"
Before the archers could attack with their daggers, Zuhn slashed their hands off. Both of the archers dropped their daggers on to the ground. Both at the same time dropped to the ground clutching their arms.
The archer in the back dropped their bow and looked at Zuhn. Zuhn felt no killing intent coming from the archer.
Before Zuhn could react to the archer, the colorless world around Zuhn started to turn back to normal. Slowly the colors of the world started to become normal.
Birds started to chirp, first it was only one. But as more and more colors appeared the chirps became more intense.
Quickly everything turned black for a couple seconds. Color came back after Zuhn heard a small voice behind him.
"Zuhn? Did you not hear me? If you aren"t here to buy anything get out!"
Zuhn shook his head after hearing Berry"s words. Thinking for a couple of seconds, Zuhn than walked out of the blacksmith once again.
When he walked out for the second time, he was a.s.suming that he was going to enter the same colorless world. But to his surprise, he ended up outside of the blacksmith, the real blacksmith.
All of the colors of the world was still there. People were filling the streets, markets were loud. The man that Zuhn recently punched was still laying on the floor. The man was trying to get up but was still a bit dazed from the punch.
The other men that were around the blacksmith were interested when Zuhn walked outside. Mostly, when the blacksmith closed for a single customer, it would mean that it was very important.
Several men that were around the blacksmith decided to walk up to Zuhn. Even though they recently saw how Zuhn easily defeated someone stronger than themselves.
There were plenty of rumors around the town of the blacksmith. The rumors ranged from being part of the government from being super powerful people.
The rumors were all mixed up, but the men wanted to know what Zuhn knew. Zuhn kept a calm expression as the men walked closer and closer to him.
Zuhn stopped moving and turned around to face the men.
"Yes?"
"Sonny? What happened inside?"
An older man wearing bright iron armor stood in front of Zuhn. The man had a white beard that was coming out of the helmet. The old man also had multiple people behind him.
The men ranged from Low Bronze to high ranked bronze. Zuhn was quite shocked to see so many high-level Bronze cultivators in one spot. Though, from the information he just got from the Blacksmith, Zuhn quickly suppressed his shock.
"Hm?"
Zuhn decided to act confused when the man asked him the question.
"What happened inside? You were in there for quite some time."
"I was looking to see what they had to buy, I need a new weapon."
"A new weapon? If you need a weapon, my sect will happily give you any kind of weapon you would like."
Zuhn raised his eyebrow at what the old man was saying.
"No… I"m good."
"If you don"t want a new weapon, how about you join the sect? We are quite powerful in this area."
The old man was smiling through the helmet. His grin was quite greedy, acting like that Zuhn wouldn"t say no to him.
"Young man, I"m from Sunni."
Several people that overheard the conversation between Zuhn and the old man let out small awe when they heard what the man said. Several conversations sparked up over what the man said.
"Sunni? Isn"t that the best sect in the area."
"Yea, I heard that they are close to being stronger than the LightBringers."
"Really? d.a.m.n, they are quite strong."
"What A lucky guy."
Zuhn took a couple of seconds to collect all of the information other people were saying.
The man that was standing in front of Zuhn still had a very greedy smile on his face. Zuhn could feel the magical power that was coming off the man wasn"t normal.
Zuhn used one of his old spells, his eyes turned golden and he was able to see the magic coming off the old man. Zuhn"s golden eyes showed that the man had no actual magic power. Though, the man had something on him that made his magical power skyrocket.
"Over there!"
Zuhn shouted and pointed to the old man and the men behind him. They all looked to the right, in a quick motion Zuhn pulled out his dagger and rushed at the old man.
*Klink!*
Zuhn"s dagger and the man"s sword clashed together.
"Ooo… A quick one."
The old man swung his sword at Zuhn when Zuhn went to defend against the attack. The sword moved from its original direction. Zuhn opened his eyes in shocked and jumped back to avoid the strike.
When the dust cleared from Zuhn dodging the attack. The man looked at Zuhn with wicked eyes.
"You dodged that?"
Zuhn was standing in his most precious defending stance, a warm feeling was flowing from his right cheek.
The old man brought his sword to his waist and let out a small laugh. Blood flowed down Zuhn"s face reaching his lip. Zuhn stuck the tip of his tongue out to taste the blood.
The warm bitter blood from his cheek hit his tongue. Letting a small burst of magic flow throughout his body. Zuhn"s eyes started to turn crimson red.
The aura around Zuhn"s body reached a new level, his cultivation base exceeds his current one. The old man saw this and stopped laughing and studied Zuhn.
The wound on Zuhn"s cheek healed quickly, the power around Zuhn reached a new height. Bring him back to old cultivation before he died millions of years ago.
"Let"s have some fun."
Zuhn mumbled under his breath.
"What!?"
The old man"s eyes looked like they were about to pop out of his head. The man brought back up his sword to his chest. He pointed it at Zuhn and shouted.
"Fire Dance Strength"
The old man"s sword lit up bright red flames. His whole body exploded in fire. The aura coming off the man was boosted slightly, but it didn"t reach the level of Zuhn.
"f.u.c.ker!"
The old sprinted forward with intense killing intent flowing through his body. Zuhn smiled slightly and also rushed at the man.
*Klink*
The two swords clashed together, the strength from the two people sent them flying. Zuhn used multiple spells to increase his muscles and bones. Zuhn"s body turned bright red, his body became bigger and turned bright red. With a slight smile, Zuhn started to cast multiple spells.
The spells Zuhn was using were basic spells, spells that couldn"t do much damage to a person. But if the spells were used skillfully, the area around where the spells were used could damage the opponent.
With a quick slash, Zuhn cut the man"s sword in half. Seeing this the man jumped back and took one of his friends" sword. The old man had small cuts all over his body from the small amount of damage he got from Zuhn"s spells.
Zuhn rushed at the man again, this time he cut off one of the man"s arms. The old man screamed in pain as he watched his arm fall off his body. Clutching his right shoulder the man looked at Zuhn with bloodshot eyes.
"You will regret this!"
"Du-Zu-Fu"
All of the man"s lost blood collected into a small ball. Once the ball was formed it became bigger and bigger in the air. Once it was as big as a boulder it flew at Zuhn. Zuhn brought up his sword to block the blood, but his sword went through the blood.
When the blood ball reached Zuhn it exploded, when the blood touched Zuhn it caused burns all over his body. Zuhn was trying to stay calm throughout the pain.
"Ahhh!"
Zuhn couldn"t hold in the pain he was taking from the acid type of blood. Letting out a cruel scream Zuhn was brought down to his knees. Throughout the pain, Zuhn looked at the old man.
The old man was also in a lot of pain but he wasn"t in as much pain as Zuhn was in. The man was holding his right shoulder while blood continued to flow.
The man"s friends rushed forward to try and help him. When they got to him, Zuhn cast a spell around the man that prevented people to come and aid him.
When the men came close they were shredded apart by multiple swords that killed them instantly.
Zuhn smiled, with the mixture of sweat and blood his face looked like a demon was being born. The old man saw this and left out a small scream.
Zuhn"s crimson-colored eyes became bright red. Zuhn"s body begins to heal quickly, all of his limbs were healed. The blood attack fell to the ground.
In a couple of seconds, Zuhn was ready to fight once again. Looking down, Zuhn saw the man still bleeding out. At this point, the man was on the verge of dying.
Zuhn pulled out his dagger and put it next to the man"s neck. Blood dripped down his neck landing on the ground. With one quick motion, Zuhn cut off the man"s head.
With no remorse, Zuhn took the chance to look through the man"s belongings. Quickly, Zuhn found something in the man"s armor. The object was bright yellow, with a golden glow around it.
When Zuhn looked at it with his golden eyes, the object had tons of magical energy flowing off of it. From the looks of the magical energy that was coming off the object, it had to be a magical item.
When Zuhn examined the object more, he noticed that the object was able to give off a certain amount of energy for each cultivation rank someone was.
When Zuhn was holding the object, it boosted his cultivation to a higher rank in the Martial Sky Realm. Though, while the old man was holding on to it. It brought the man to Late Bronze, the man himself probably didn"t know that the object was giving him power.
Zuhn smiled at the object and put it away. Around him, multiple bodies laid on the ground. People from the markets were all watching silently as Zuhn smiled.
They all believed that Zuhn was a pure killer, which was true but many people called for the guards.
When they arrived, Zuhn was smiling at the object.
"Hey! Drop your weapons!"
