Chapter 884: Chapter 894: A Person from Xuan Country! (First Update)

At this moment, along the border of the Lucao Kingdom.

The conditions at this border could not be called extremely rudimentary, but they were close enough.

After all, this was a coastal border area, and the people passing through here were either smugglers or illegal immigrants.

But this season was clearly unsuitable for smuggling, and even less so for illegal crossings.

So, the Lucao Kingdom soldiers stationed at the border had already forgotten their duty. At this moment, they were drinking, playing cards, and surrounded by a thick haze of smoke.

These border soldiers were always this bored every year during these months.

"A pair of threes!"

"A pair of aces, eat it!"

"Wait, bomb!"

Their card-playing techniques had been borrowed from the Xuan Country.

But they had no idea what they were about to face.

"I heard the Silver Protector went to the North Sea this time. I wonder how it went?"

"Yeah, just take over that North Sea area already. That way, our Lucao Kingdom’s territory will expand!"

"You think the Xuan Country with all its land will care about losing the North Sea? Probably not."

During their drinking and eating, a Lucao Kingdom soldier stepped out of the room; he wanted to relieve himself.

But just as he walked to the doorway, he saw a figure holding a blade flash across the sky.

Frightened, the soldier thought he was seeing things: "My dear mother, did I just hallucinate?"

He rubbed his eyes and looked again, but this time he saw nothing in front of him.

"It really was just my imagination!"

He prepared to continue relieving himself.

But at that moment, a massive explosion erupted, scaring the soldier so much that he wet his pants. When he turned around, he saw flames roaring not far from the border. The direction of the flames—wasn’t that the border’s ammunition depot?

"En...Enemy attack!"

The soldier stumbled and scrambled back along the path.

Inside the room, the smoke remained thick, and music from some unknown rock singer blared in the background. The room was alive with chaos as the soldiers reveled.

As soon as the soldier rushed back inside, he immediately searched for his officer.

"Officer... There’s... There’s an enemy!"

The officer, holding a bottle of liquor, was already drunk. Upon hearing the soldier’s words, he immediately said, "What enemy bride? When did my brother get a bride? Damn it, now you’ve got me wanting to find a woman! And what the hell is that smell on you—did you piss yourself?"

The soldier was frantic: "Enemy attack! It’s an enemy attack, sir! Someone has breached the border!"

"What?" The officer was so startled by the report that his drunkenness instantly vanished.

He rushed outside and was immediately dumbfounded by the scene in front of him.

The border wasn’t large, but there were plenty of munitions stored here.

Now the raging flames lit up the area, engulfing the ammunition depots in their entirety. The fire spread rapidly.

The officer, trembling, wet his pants as well.

As he focused his gaze, he saw a figure standing in the distant sky, holding a blade, appearing like a deity.

"It’s him—it must be him!"

He hurriedly pulled out his gun!

And began firing wildly.

"Shoot down that bastard who crossed the border!"

Ratatatata!

The air was filled with the sound of countless bullets.

At the border, over a hundred soldiers were present. All of them picked up their guns and aimed at the figure in the sky, firing at will.

The man in the sky was none other than Tang Zhong. Once he entered the Lucao Kingdom’s border, he began his massacre.

This was different from when he had entered the Luo Country or the Bei Country in the past.

This time, Tang Zhong had no intention of wasting words with the Lucao Kingdom. The atrocities committed by the Lucao Kingdom had completely enraged him.

Any military presence related to the Lucao Kingdom—this time, Tang Zhong would kill them all without exception.

Suddenly, he heard the rattling sound of gunfire.

He turned to see bullets flying toward him. Clutching the Tang Sword tightly in his hand, he slashed in one swift motion.

The blade cut through the air, and the bullets were instantly shattered.

Then Tang Zhong turned his gaze toward the soldiers on the ground and swung his sword in a lethal arc.

The Lucao Kingdom’s officer and soldiers initially believed their barrage of bullets would be enough to kill Tang Zhong.

But when they saw their bullets disintegrate and the blade arc descend upon them, they began to flee in terror.

However, with the blade’s arc extending over ten meters long, they had no chance to resist. It struck the ground directly.

With a thunderous boom, flames erupted again.

Out of the initial hundred-plus soldiers, that single slash killed dozens instantly.

The rest were maimed, missing arms or legs.

After one fatal slash, Tang Zhong vanished.

This time, he planned to systematically destroy the entire Lucao Kingdom with his true power, piece by piece.

On the ground lay utter devastation. The officer, miraculously alive, moaned in agony. One of his arms had been severed, but he crawled to his feet, shouting incessantly.

"Hurry... Hurry! Report this—someone has breached the border!"

Meanwhile, in the Lucao Kingdom’s capital, Nila.

There stood a cathedral—not one resembling Western styles, but tinged with a hint of Eastern influence.

Dong... Dong... Dong...

As the slow toll of the bell echoed, a figure clad in silver robes steadily made his way into the cathedral.

Walking through candlelit halls adorned with peculiar sculptures, he finally arrived at the deepest chamber.

There, seated atop a high platform, was a Priest robed in white. His long white hair cascaded down his shoulders, and his wrinkled skin sagged with age. He sat flipping through an ancient book.

Upon closer inspection, the figure entering the cathedral was none other than the returning Silver Protector from the North Sea Valley.

He stepped forward, kneeling before the white-robed elder sitting high above, and said, "High Priest, the mission has failed this time!"

The white-robed elder, the High Priest of the Lucao Kingdom’s Witch Order and a figure equal in stature to the kingdom’s ruler, showed no immediate reaction, continuing to flip through his book.

"When we entered the North Sea Valley," the Silver Protector continued, "the stone you sent us to retrieve was indeed there. But someone arrived before us. By the time we saw him, the stone had already been halved!"

The High Priest remained silent, still turning the pages.

The Silver Protector pressed on: "Later, strange things began happening—the waters of the North Sea surged violently, flooding the entire cavern. We barely escaped with our lives. It’s likely that whoever took the stone is now dead!"

The High Priest finally stopped turning the pages, his gaze fixed on the book. It was an ancient text, and on the current page, there was a depiction of a stone—dark yellow in color.

Below it was a passage describing its abilities.

"The Soul Stone: its user can infinitely strengthen their soul."

At last, the High Priest spoke—a rare occurrence. "Who was the person?"

"A man from the Xuan Country!" the Silver Protector replied bluntly.

Just as they finished speaking, a disciple came rushing through the cathedral doors, shouting as he ran, "High Priest, something terrible has happened! A Xuan Country man has invaded our Lucao Kingdom!"
