Legend of the Heavenly God
Ch. 229 ~ Commander Totsuki Hirada
Tan Hao was a little disappointed because he had not found any wild animals at all. The Fire Glass Bees that Fen Fang mentioned were also completely missing along the way.
Fen Fang himself was also inexhaustible, the last time he passed through this mountain range. Even at any given distance there were always ferocious beasts of all levels, the lowest being at the intermediate stage.
But now, the Mountains that had an illusionary fog were as empty. There were no wild animals, even the nest was completely invisible.
“It is impossible for all wild animals here to be hunted! What kind of power is capable of sweeping away everything like this? I guess there's something else that makes these mountains look empty,”
“I think so too! Maybe those animals had already left this place because of something, it was impossible because of humans! Certainly because of the higher strength of them..”.
“That means ... There are sacred animals in these mountains?” Fen Fang was surprised to hear Tan Hao's statement, he immediately guessed the cause.
Indeed normally it could happen, but not just any place could be home to a Holy Animal.
“It's almost impossible...! If there really is, we should be able to feel it since entering this mountain range, right? Never mind, it doesn't matter now. We better continue the journey... Eh this?”
The fast-paced Lan Lihua almost hit Tan Hao from behind as it stopped abruptly. If he did not look forward, it was certain that his head hit Tan Hao's back.
It actually only took Tan Hao an hour to reach Shuning City, but his journey had to come to a standstill when he sensed something familiar.
Fen Fang suggested checking it out but Lan Lihua asked to continue on.
The reason Lan Lihua insisted on going to Shuning City was because she needed to clean up, but she did not say that.
Without them noticing, if Commander Hirada was moving towards them. But on the other hand, the three women of similar appearance were also heading towards Tan Hao from the other side.
After coming out of the Fire Glass Mountains there was no one they met along the big road. Though the road is the main road that is used almost every day, never even deserted travelers and traders between cities who pass or cross the road.
But what Tan Hao saw, not even the footprints of a horse were there at all. Fen Fang thinks it may have disappeared from the rain, but the smell of dirt was not smelled at all.
This proves that this great road has not been passed for a long time, according to Tan Hao at least for more than three days ago.
Lan Lihua continued to grumble, but Tan Hao ignored her and chose to talk to Fen Fang about how he felt. Even though they still continued on their way but they were on foot, no longer running using the speed of energy.
Before long, I faintly heard a fight as they arrived at a crossroads. The voice sounded from the direction of the road towards the royal capital.
“Did you hear that?” Fen Fang sharpened his hearing.
Tan Hao turned his head towards the origin of the voice while activating the eyes of the god, “Only a few miles from here, three women fight against one person who holds a great sword!” the eyes of a stage one god could only see faraway objects in roughly not so detailed, for that Tan Hao attempted to focus while observing more clearly.
Tan Hao finished his observation and then smiled wryly, “Hua’er, why are you so excited to get to the city soon? We are in the middle of two great powers, it could be the person who was gangred was one of the white swordsmen who wanted to go to Shuning City!”
Now Tan Hao no longer spoke harshly towards Lan Lihua for the sake of not making her act wrongly as an impingement.
Lan Lihua did not reply and simply threw away her face before finally running at high speed towards the city carrying Yi Jin, the cat's expression even making Tan Hao chuckle.
“Basic women! It's just that, hehe! But more importantly, who are they?” for a while Tan Hao turned serious after Lan Lihua disappeared from his sight.
With Yi Jin with Lan Lihua, Tan Hao was not too worried. Moreover, Lan Lihua's strength was now very far developed.
“Do you want to check it?” fen Fang asked after the scene of the two couples ending.
“But we'll be a little late,”
“No problem, right? With our strength, it only takes one blink of an eye to get to the city,” Fen Fang again made sure.
Tan Hao nodded slowly, then the two moved quickly almost simultaneously towards the source of the battle sound.
It was true what the Demon Flute Swordsman who now looks not much different from Tan Hao even looks younger, with Tan Hao's space-time ability they would arrive at the city faster than lightning. Likewise with the ability of Fen Fang who can move places using air media.
The fight is still quite fierce. Out of the three women only two of them appeared to reply to a physical attack with a man who owned a large sword. While another stood watching from the top of a tree branch while on his waist was tucked a pair of trident.
That man was none other than Totsuki Hirada, the Combat Commander of Taiyo Country. Just a moment ago they accidentally met the road, which made the fight happen because Hirada was intending to snatch the pair of swords that one of the women had.
Hirada was immediately attracted and recognized the sword, he who was the best swordsman of Taiyo Country could of course easily figure out the quality of the swords and their names.
“Don't be stubborn! Those of you who are only ascetic-level are no match for the Realm of Gods! Hand over the Twin Star Sword and you are free to go!” Hirada threatened after the two women jumped back to take some distance.
“Don't dream...! Do you think we're afraid of you?” the woman with the bow on her back threatened back.
The aura of inner power was inescapable, both of them were equally pressing against each other. Hirada retreated two steps when the owner of the pair of swords he was interested in threatened him as well.
But not the anger that he showed but a big smile, Hirada really enjoyed the battle of the inner aura because he had not got an opponent who could push back.
"You guys, two interesting female rats! I think it's enough to make this Black Golden Sword I use, hehe.!”.
