Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Sorry, I Was Wrong!

Liang Hui looked at the box pushed in front of him, filled with silver, and his mouth curled into a smile.

He glanced back at the sunset.

He reached out, and took a slightly larger piece of silver.

"Leave the rest here, I’ll come back for it later," he said.

As his words fell,

he turned around!

He walked towards the door, with no other expression on his face besides the smile at the corner of his mouth.

After Liang Hui had left,

the burly old man stepped out from the back courtyard with a face full of shame, sighing:

"The reputation of Hidden Fire Shop is sure to be ruined in my hands."

"Master, a bit of reputation is nothing compared to the position in the Tao offered by Young Master Lu," said the apprentice.

"After all, our younger generation can’t be blacksmiths for their whole lives."

The apprentice grabbed the silver taels from the wooden box, letting them slide from his palm onto the counter.

"And a compensation of six thousand silver taels is not a small amount," he said with a mocking tone, echoing through the shop.

The old craftsman sighed lightly once more, his face showing even greater shame.

To him, six thousand silver taels were nothing compared to the longspear that had been forged.

After leaving the ’Hidden Fire Shop’, Liang Hui quickly made his way towards the west.

In the time it took to drink a cup of tea,

he reached a crumbling courtyard near the walls of Yongning City.

In that courtyard, Liang Hui and the master of the courtyard struck a deal on the property deed, paying with the silver obtained from ’Hidden Fire Shop’.

By the time the original owner of the house had left, the sun had completely set.

Liang Hui took out his knuckle-dusters and put them on his palms, checking over the bronze halberd, the longsword, and the strong bow thoroughly.

At the same time, he put on an iron mask.

Today, it seemed, he would have to kill many, many people.

Since arriving in this world, he had always assumed the worst of strangers.

Failure!

His inquiries had revealed that the weapons forging failure rate at Hidden Fire Shop was almost zero.

So, it must be that someone had intercepted his longspear beforehand.

Only a power capable of making ’Hidden Fire Shop’ willingly destroy its own reputation could be behind this.

Hence, the killing tonight would not be scarce.

He lifted his foot and stepped out of the dilapidated courtyard, increasing his speed.

In the moonlight, he made his way straight to Hidden Fire Shop.

One minute.

Two minutes.

Three minutes.

Creak!

The half-shut door of Hidden Fire Shop was pushed open abruptly.

"Cus..."

The bronze halberd was drawn out in a flash.

With ultimate speed and strength, the upper half of the apprentice’s body exploded open.

Blood mixed with splinters of bone scattered all around, filling the room with the stench of blood.

Liang Hui, as if unfazed, simply shut the door and locked it.

He turned around!

And strode towards the inner courtyard.

...ding dong... ding dong...

Amidst the sound of hammering, he walked on.

What came into view was a bustling work scene.

Furnaces, molten iron, the carrying of ores, workers dealing with the waste materials.

"Strangers aren’t allowed in, get..."

A burly man resting at the entrance of the inner courtyard admonished.

Slash!

The halberd chopped down, and the head fell, the face still showing seriousness even in death.

Such commotion obviously could not remain concealed.

One by one, the blacksmiths stopped their work, turning their gaze to the figure at the entrance.

The young man smiled faintly, with the halberd held across.

Inner Strength exploded throughout his body, like a constantly burning cyan flame.

Clinging to his whole body, and to the weapon.

A horrific intent to kill burst forth at that moment.

He stepped forward!

Like mountains and rivers charging forth.

In that moment, furnaces exploded, and figures flew amidst breaking bones, scattered in all directions.

Blood and molten iron mixed together in the inner courtyard.

"Thief, die!"

Raging roars of fury.

From one side, a sky filled with crimson hammer shadows smashed down.

Liang Hui turned his head, looking at the white-haired old man with a fierce face, his smile growing even wider.

His jade-like palm shot out, effortlessly passing through the hammer shadows and pressing on the man’s arm.

Bang!

Ah!

In the midst of a pitiful scream, the arm wielding the hammer exploded directly.

Blood splattered on the ground, then immediately evaporated by the scorching molten iron surrounding them.

The halberd swept across, severing the old man’s lower leg once more.

Only then did Liang Hui step over the wailing figure, slaughtering his way towards the other directions.

Soon all struggles had vanished.

Whether blacksmiths or apprentices, no one in the inner courtyard was left standing.

The blood covering the inner courtyard, the scattered molten iron, the broken limbs, and the pungent stench of blood, filled the air.

Liang Hui dragged the remaining five blacksmiths to the collapsed old man.

"Where is my longspear?"

His deep voice, drown out the screams and entered the ears of the few.

"It’s you! It’s really you! How dare you do this? This is Yongning City, the Imperial Court..."

The gray-haired old man collapsed on the ground, exerting all his strength to howl.

The blood stopped by the muscles sprayed out once more.

Smack!

A kick landed on the mouth, shattering teeth, breaking the tongue, only a blurred bloodiness remained.

The howling, suddenly cut off.

"Gentlemen, no nonsense, who will answer my question?"

Bang!

The head of the blacksmith farthest left burst underfoot.

"Don’t wail chaotically, it’s annoying."

In his low-toned words, all the screams stopped.

Pairs of eyes looked in terror at that slender silhouette.

"My lord, I know where the forged longspear is! Can I live?"

Smack!

A kick snapped his neck.

With an indifferent expression, he addressed the four on the ground: "No nonsense."

Cruelty, cold-heartedness, ruthlessness, decisiveness—the image of the man before them continually surfaced in their minds.

The clever ones among them had clearly realized something.

At this moment, facing such a person, they seemed to have no chance of survival.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! My friends, we must die, there is no..."

The big laughter came from a robust man collapsed on the ground, his face showing resignation.

Smack! Crack! Crack!

A foot crushed his mouth, followed by breaking his limbs.

Woo! Woo!

The robust man who was laughing just before, now twisted and struggled like a worm in severe pain.

Afterward, Liang Hui finally turned his gaze to the other two blacksmiths besides the old man.

"My lord, it was the Lu Family! It was the Lu Family!"

"Last night, the Second Young Master of the Lu Family personally visited, spoke to the shopkeeper, and took away your longspear when he left."

"Spare me, please. This is all I know; I didn’t do anything from start to finish."

One blacksmith could no longer bear the immense pressure and wailed out loud.

With the blacksmith’s words, Liang Hui sensed the other’s heartbeats and Qi-Blood flow.

Tapping his forehead lightly, he murmured:

"I know."

The next moment, the halberd shot through the air, slashing across his throat.

Putting force into his feet, he crushed the throats of the remaining blacksmiths.

Only the white-haired old man was left, collapsed on the ground, his murky eyes scanning around lifelessly.

In an instant, the centuries-old iron forge was broken in his hands.

Fortunately...

Liang Hui turned around and suddenly walked towards the only house in the inner courtyard.

"...uh... uh..."

The old man’s bloody and indistinct face kept closing, trying desperately to make a sound.

Meanwhile, his only hand, stained with blood, was dragging across the ground.

’Sorry, sorry, it’s all my fault, spare the child, he knows nothing.’

No matter how big the commotion was, Liang Hui never looked back.

Bang!

With one strike, the door to the house burst open.
