Chapter 75: Step by Step Revelation

As Tielongcheng spoke, the girl's eyes seemed to suddenly turn into sharp blades, staring intently at Chuyang.

Tielongcheng took a deep breath and said in a low, solemn voice, "When I heard the name 'Heavenly Soldier Pavilion,' the first thing that came to mind was my comrades who died in battle, their bodies left to rot! Do you know how many people died right before my eyes, with a look of helplessness and disbelief, yet powerless to do anything? They were all heroes of my Tieyun!"

Chuyang finally understood why this top general had come in person and why he had issued the order to seal off the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion. It turned out that his actions had touched the deepest wounds in the general's heart!

Although Tielongcheng spoke calmly, Chuyang could still see and feel the sorrow, anger, and frustration in the legendary general's heart!

Chuyang had always known that the Tieyun Kingdom was a blacksmith desert, and high-quality weapons were mostly purchased at high prices from the Wuji Kingdom. However, he had no idea that such inhumane things were involved!

"General Tielongcheng, your insight is truly remarkable!" Chuyang smiled calmly.

"So, you admit that you are a spy sent by Wudi Qingrou?"

"Admit?" Chuyang smiled. "If I were really Wudi Qingrou's subordinate, would I use such an overt and attention-drawing method to be a spy?"

Tielongcheng stared at him for a while, then suddenly said coldly, "But, everything has a reason."

"Disliking Wudi Qingrou, is that a good enough reason?" Chuyang smiled, suddenly darted to the door, and punched one of the four guards. This attack was completely unexpected, swift and decisive. Just a moment ago, he was smiling at Tielongcheng, and the next moment, his fist was already at the guard's throat.

The guard was shocked and quickly rolled away. The other three swords were already unsheathed with a metallic clang, like venomous snakes, stabbing at Chuyang.

These four were all experts, and their默契 (coordination) was innate. When one was attacked, the other three simultaneously launched their attacks without hesitation!

Chuyang laughed and suddenly swung his hand, his bare hands meeting the gleaming blades.

Three light sounds, and the most unbelievable thing happened!

It was clear to see that Chuyang's finger met the three swords, and the long swords, which had killed countless enemies, suddenly broke off silently!

The two guards, seeing Chuyang use his bare hands to block the swords, had a cruel look in their eyes. They seemed to already see the gruesome scene of his fingers and hands being severed, but they never expected that the swords would break upon contact with his fingers!

No one expected such a thing to happen, and they all froze. Chuyang's finger had already stopped at the throat of the guard he had targeted, gently, almost tenderly, pinching the protruding Adam's apple.

Then, his figure flickered, and he retreated to Tielongcheng's side.

The four guard experts looked at Chuyang with shock. A person's hand could actually break sharp blades!

Was this still a human body?

Especially the guard whose Adam's apple Chuyang had pinched, felt a chill run through his body. If Chuyang had used a bit more force, his Adam's apple would have shattered!

Tielongcheng accused Chuyang of being a spy, and Chuyang could not prove otherwise. In such an unclear situation, the only, best, and most effective way to explain was through strength!

"Another reason is that I can easily assassinate you! Is that reason enough? And..." Chuyang smiled, picked up the broken sword from the ground, and used his own sword to cut it into pieces like a carrot, making a clinking sound. "This is the value of a divine weapon. Is this value enough?"

In an instant, everyone looked at Chuyang with shock.

"Assassinating me, not necessarily. Easily assassinating me, even less so. Your confidence is strong, but some things in this world cannot be accomplished by confidence alone. However, disliking Wudi Qingrou is a sufficient reason." Tielongcheng's eagle-like eyes looked at Chuyang, and after a moment of eye contact, he suddenly smiled. "The other two reasons are not important!"

He paused and then said, "Good boy!"

Although Tielongcheng was surprised by Chuyang's strange yet powerful strength, he did not lose his composure. Tielongcheng was more confident that if Chuyang had attacked him, it would not have been so easy.

Chuyang's action this time was aided by the power of the Ninth Tribulation Sword. The tip of the Ninth Tribulation Sword was channeled into his hand, making it invincible! Moreover, at the moment his finger touched the sword, the iron essence in the sword was absorbed by the Ninth Tribulation Sword!

Chuyang's finger was essentially touching a piece of wood, and rotten wood at that!

Otherwise, even Chuyang's sword, made of fine steel, could not have achieved the effect of cutting through metal like butter. After all, the swords of the four guards were far from ordinary! Although they did not reach the level of divine weapons, their durability far exceeded that of ordinary swords!

But this action had a profound impact on Tielongcheng and the others.

"Then, I want to know your true purpose!" Tielongcheng smiled for a while, then his expression turned serious.

"True purpose..." Chuyang pondered for a moment. "Personally, I have no grudge against Wudi Qingrou, but I do not want him to win. I do not want him to unify the world."

Due to Tielongcheng's blockade, Chuyang seemed to have missed the opportunity to directly meet Tielong. However, Tielongcheng's personal visit, although he had sealed Chuyang's shop, also provided an opportunity. Because he came in person.

Chuyang had already demonstrated his strength and capital. The next step was to show his wisdom. Even if he met Tielong directly, Tielongcheng's attitude was crucial!

"Everyone here must be unwilling to let the schemer Wudi Qingrou succeed!" Tielongcheng smiled lightly. Chuyang's display of strength seemed to have put Tielongcheng somewhat at ease.

Chuyang smiled. "But now, for Tieyun to defeat Wudi Qingrou, it is basically a delusion, absolutely impossible!"

"From what perspective?" This time, the girl asked, deep in thought. Tielongcheng smiled faintly but did not speak, only listening quietly. His previous fierce aura had completely dissipated.

"First, Wudi Qingrou has a powerful army. The Great Zhao has nearly six million soldiers! Among the continent's top ten generals, the second to seventh are all in the Great Zhao! Each one is a hero of the age. Tieyun has only two, the first and the tenth! We should all know that these rankings are not just talk, but earned through countless battles and deaths! Each general's path to fame is paved with hundreds of thousands of lives!"

Chuyang quickly recalled information from his past life. "Second, the Great Zhao is nominally ruled by the emperor, but in reality, all power is in the hands of Wudi Qingrou! Moreover, Wudi Qingrou's intelligence network far exceeds the combined efforts of Tieyun and Wuji! The Golden Horse Knights, although never seen in public, are filled with talented individuals and have an unimaginable combat strength, with eight thousand elite knights!"

This news was like a thunderbolt, striking Tielongcheng and the girl.

"Golden Horse Knights? You know about the Golden Horse Knights?" Tielongcheng's thick brows furrowed, and he waved his hand. His expression became serious for the first time.

Immediately, the troops outside retreated several dozen meters, and the entire street fell silent. Apart from a few close guards, no one was within several dozen meters. The sound of swift movements on the roof indicated that countless experts had swarmed up, securing the entire roof.

The Heavenly Soldier Pavilion shop instantly became the center of the city, impenetrable even to birds. It was clear how important Tielongcheng found this information.

Strangely, the girl, who seemed to have no connection to these military and state affairs, was not driven away by Tielongcheng. He tacitly allowed her to stay.

Chuyang's eyes flickered, and he had a hunch. It seemed this girl was not a simple figure. The previous guess of her being a county lady was probably not reliable. If she was not a princess, she was likely a favorite concubine...
