The Night King: The Asura
Ch-72's chat. God's gift weapon
The Golden Eagle city palace.
The six soldiers who were previously assigned to bring home the golden tiger, had now arrived at the city palace empty-handed and face full of bruises, even the condition of the six of them made the city lord and the higher-ups laugh out loud.
But then, their laughter instantly turned to rage after the six warriors told them what had befallen them. Moreover, the six warriors also made up stories regarding Lin Feng, they said that Lin Feng would attack the palace if the city lord was unwilling to pay double the fee.
Though, Lin Feng had never mentioned that he was going to attack the palace, and the double fee he had asked for was actually just wanting to ascertain if the city lord really wanted to buy that tiger skin, instead, or just wanted to snatch it from the hands of Zhen Shao and his friends.
"Do you know the name of the young swordsman?" ask the city lord.
"No, my majesty. But right now, he is still in Zhen Shao's tavern, and I believe he is Zhen Shao's friend" replied one of the soldiers.
"Alright, I will take care of this matter later, because there are still other matters that are much more important" said the city's ruler.
"Your majesty, this matter cannot be left to chance, otherwise..."
"Have you dared to refute such noble words?!"
"Ma-sorry general, ha-servants don't dare."
"Then get out of here right now!"
"Well, general" said the six soldiers, then left the place.
After the six soldiers left, the city lord and the palace higher-ups then continued their talk regarding the mysterious weapon that appeared in the courtyard of the backwoods of the palace.
Two weeks ago, precisely at night, all the residents of the palace who were fast asleep were suddenly startled by a very powerful shock. At first, they had thought if there had been an attack, but after being examined, the state of the city was still calm as usual.
The city lord, who was still curious about the cause of the shock, then ordered the entire army to go through every corner of the palace, and after a nearly two-hour search, some of the soldiers later reported that they had found something strange in the palace's backyard.
Upon inspection, what the soldiers found was a sword embedded in the backyard of the palace, but strangely, no one knew who owned the sword, not even one of them had ever seen such a sword.
Since no one knew who and where the sword came from, the city lord then tried to uproot it and wanted to make the sword his own, yet strangely, strangely enough, the city lord could not uproot it even after exerting full force.
From then on, the city lord considered that the sword was a God-given weapon, then he announced that whoever could pull out the sword, then he would give a very large gift, besides, he would give a very large gift, he will also make that man his son-in-law.
But unfortunately, until now there has not been a single person who managed to pull the sword, even twenty horses were overwhelmed when trying to pull the sword, and worse, again, the sword did not move from its place. In fact, there were already countless more people trying to pull him off the ground.
"What are your plans for the sword?" ask the city lord.
"Your highness, this sword is too strange and mysterious, so it is very difficult to think of the right way to pull the sword from the ground" replied one of the palace's top brass.
"How about we spread this news again?"
"The way it's been done, but the results are still the same."
"That's true, but what I mean is, we're spreading this news to some nearby town and maybe, someday we'll find someone who can pull it out."
"What the general said is true, but this way might work, and as for the enemy's spies, we have to do a strict check on anyone who comes to this city" other palace officials.
"Your Majesty, what is your decision?"
"Alright, then, tomorrow you set some people to spread this news to the nearby cities" the city's ruler said.
"Okay, your highness!"
***
Tomorrow.
The news of the God-given weapon had again spread throughout the city, and this news had succeeded in making the entire city splash for the second time, because the reward offered by the city lord became several times larger than before.
As it had already spread throughout the entire city, this news also rang out to the ears of Lin Feng who was still in Zhen Shao's tavern, and out of curiosity, this news also reached Lin Feng, he asked about this God-given weapon to Zhen Shao and his friends.
When he heard the five of them's explanation regarding the weapon, somehow Lin Feng felt that it was his Asura God sword, moreover, the traits they mentioned were completely the same as the characteristics of his sword.
"Do you see this sword directly, or only hear it through word of mouth?" asked Lin Feng.
"We saw it firsthand, had even tried to pull it, but the strange black sword seemed unwilling to move from its place" Liu Qi replied.
"Is there an engraving on the sword?"
"You're right, if I'm not mistaken the word engraved on the blade of the sword is..."
"Asura!" said Lin Feng.
"Yes! That's it, but how do you know?" ask Zhang Kai.
Lin Feng stood up from his seat, "You guys should take me there right now!"
"It is better to undo your intention, even twenty horses are overwhelmed when trying to pull it out, let alone you are alone."
"Liu Qi is right, we don't want to belittle you, but you better just forget about your intentions" Zhen Shao said.
"I don't want to try it but I want to take it, because that sword is my sword!" said Lin Feng.
"What?" Zhen Shao and the others were completely shocked to hear Lin Feng's words.
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe, but look after we get there later."
Although it was very difficult for the five of them to believe Lin Feng's words, yet they still agreed to take him to the city palace, at least, after Lin Feng tried it later, they still agreed to take him to the city palace, at least, after Lin Feng tried it later, they would find out if the sword really belonged to Lin Feng or not.
"Alright, then we will take you there, but remember, do not let you cause chaos, because in the city palace there are many very great warriors" said Zhen Shao.
