That's Lubi?
The Royal City citizens who had run over to watch the show were shocked.
The guards at the entrance of the Gongjia family were shocked too.
The Linlu tribesmen who were fighting Black Bear and the rest were so shocked their legs turned to jelly.
Luming had felt that something was amiss earlier. When he and the other two were blocking Black Bear, they had focused all their attention on Black Bear. They didn't dare to be careless when facing Black Bear, so he couldn't see what was happening on Lubi's side. However, he believed that things would go according to his plan.
However, when they first clashed, the sound was different from what he expected. Confusion flashed across his eyes but he did not think much of it. What happened next stunned them.
If it wasn't for Lubi, they might not have chosen Black Bear. They had always believed that Lubi would be able to stop Black Bear after taking care of the weakest one. However, who would have thought that the first target they chose for Lubi would ruin all their plans!
What happened to the hammer? How did this happen?
If they could not even take care of the first person, who would stop Black Bear?!
While he was thinking, Luming was careless and was almost cut in half by Black Bear's heavy sword. He hurriedly raised his sword to block the attack. The force from the sword almost broke his arms. It was indeed a terrifying force. Black Bear was also strong. His sword slashed down, putting them under a lot of pressure.
They could not stop him!
Although he dodged the sword, Luming could not avoid a kick to his chest. He flew backwards, spitting out blood. When he landed, his legs were weak and he fell to the ground.
On the other side, there was another loud bang. Rocks and dirt fell to the ground like raindrops. Shao Xuan held the long bronze hammer, watching Lubi roll away like a gourd.
Lubi, who had finally stopped, ignored the pain in his body. His eyes were still filled with shock as he stared at the young man standing there. This was the first target of the Linlu tribe's plan. He never thought that his hammer would be taken away by someone else. And this person … seemed to be doing it more easily than him!
The muscles on Lubi's face were trembling. His face was cut by the flying stones. Blood and dirt flowed out of the wounds, making him look extremely miserable.
The others wanted to help Lubi, but they were stopped by Black Bear and the other two.
Seeing that Luming was sent flying, the other Linlu tribesmen immediately retreated and gathered with the injured Luming and Lubi. Just now, they had seen the Lu Clan's people in the vicinity. They should have gone to call for reinforcements by now. This made them feel embarrassed, but at the same time, they were relieved. With reinforcements coming, Black Bear wouldn't be able to do anything to them.
Guang Yi took the chipped sword and stood beside Shao Xuan. Shao Xuan's performance just now made Guang Yi very happy and proud. He thought to himself, 'As expected of an elder. I should let these people know the consequences of offending the Yanjiao tribe. Do they think the Yanjiao people are easy to bully?'
Seeing that Shao Xuan was fine, Black Bear turned to look at the Linlu tribesmen with a strange expression and smacked his lips.
Black Bear knew what the Linlu tribesmen were up to. His rugged face sneered as he looked at Luming and the others. "How blind are you guys to pick on that kid? Idiots! "
However, Shao Xuan did help Black Bear. If it wasn't Shao Xuan, but someone else, the outcome would have been different. At the thought of the Linlu tribesmen's actions, Black Bear's anger rose again. You want to use me as a stepping stone?!
No matter how many people there were in the Linlu tribe, beating up the leader of the Black Bear caravan was equivalent to slapping the caravan's face. If Black Bear was beaten up in front of so many people today, the people of King City would laugh at the Black Bear caravan. Even if the caravan fought back in the future, what happened couldn't be denied. It would be a stain in the caravan's history that couldn't be erased. Plus, there was no fairness.
Luckily, these people were blind to pick on Shao Xuan of all people. Thinking of the time when he saw Shao Xuan block the big bronze cauldron with one palm in Anba City, and then looking at the person standing there with a bronze hammer, Black Bear's evaluation of Shao Xuan changed again. This was indeed the style of the Yanjiao tribes.
Black Bear glanced at the Linlu tribesmen coldly. He took a step forward, his exposed arms and face covered in dark brown totemic tattoos. When the tattoos appeared, the thick beard that covered half of his face became as straight as copper needles. His beardless face also grew dark brown hair. His pupils dilated, flashing with a cold and violent light. His muscles swelled like they were inflated with air, making him look twice his size.
Black Bear let out a long roar, like the roar of a giant bear in the forest. Many people covered their ears. The roar spread far and wide like a wave.
The city guards patrolling the area heard the roar and quickly ran towards it. When they arrived, they realised that it was a gang fight. They thought that a giant beast was rebelling in the city.
Usually, the city guards wouldn't care about conflicts between people or tribes as long as they didn't go overboard. What they meant by 'don't go overboard' was that it didn't affect the interests of the six noble families. As for the lives of others, that was up to them. If it was some unimportant people, they wouldn't care. Once the fight was over, compensation would be paid. The damage in the Royal City would also be repaired.
That was why when they saw that it wasn't a giant beast causing trouble but a fight, the city guards stopped in their tracks.
"Let's go. It's Black Bear and the Lu family. It's none of our business." The city guard took one look and turned to leave.
"Hey, don't go yet. Didn't they say Lubi from the Lu family is very powerful? Look at the situation over there, it's different from what we imagined. "
"The Lu family must be bragging. There are many powerful people in the Royal City. Even if they're powerful in the Lu family, they might not be ranked in the Royal City. They must have just arrived in the Royal City and wanted to test their skills on Black Bear. Too bad Black Bear isn't easy to deal with. There'll be trouble later. Let's not get involved. Let them fight. " An older city guard said disapprovingly, "Plus, that's the Gongjia family's territory. They have their own guards so we don't have to do anything. Let's go patrol somewhere else. The crazy mammoth we killed today tasted pretty good. I wonder what the next crazy giant beast will be. "
The others agreed. The people of the Royal City loved to watch a show but these city guards were used to it. They weren't that curious. If they wanted to watch a show, they would've been here long ago. Then again, if they stayed here, they might get caught up in it. Why bother?
Hence, the city guards hurried over and left in a hurry.
When the Linlu tribesmen received the news, they gathered their men and rushed over. On the other side, the Black Bears who heard Black Bear's roar immediately ran out the door, rushing towards the source of the sound.
The two parties met, their killing intent boiling. It looked like a fight was about to break out.
The surrounding crowd retreated further away but did not leave. This was a rare opportunity. They had to watch it live. Hearing it from someone else was definitely not as satisfying as seeing it with their own eyes.
The Gongjia family guards looked at each other. Their orders were that as long as the people outside did not fight their way in or damage the Gongjia family's door, they could do whatever they wanted outside. If there were too many people here to test their swords, there would be fights and they would have to compensate them. But now, the situation was getting worse. Although they were still some distance away from the door, it happened here. They had to go in and report it and ask for the masters' opinion.
Inside the Gongjia family's courtyard, there was an open-air round table made of bronze. A well-dressed young man sat at the table. Although he did not speak, he had an aura of calmness that could not be ignored.
When a guard ran over, he slowed down when he saw the young man. He bowed slightly and planned to continue walking.
The young man looked up with a frown. Although there was no anger in his eyes, the guard could clearly sense that the young man was angry. His heart tightened.
"What is it?" asked the young man.
The guard thought for a moment. "It's something outside. The Black Bears who came to test their swords are fighting with the Lu family. There are more and more people here now. I'm afraid something might happen."
The young man's frown deepened. He was clearly unhappy about this. He had heard the commotion outside too but his mind was on the forging room ten steps away. He had completely ignored the commotion outside.
"Where are the city guards?"
"Uh, the city guards came and left." The guard hung his head in silence.
The young man was even more displeased but this was how the city guards worked these days. He said, "Let them fight outside the city."
"There are too many of them …" The guard hung his head even lower. His first purpose here was to report what was happening outside. His second purpose was to ask for help from the other guards in the Gongjia family.
"Then …" The young man was about to say something when he heard the commotion from the forging room. He stopped talking and hurried over. "Master Heng, how was it?!"
Heng walked out of the forging room, looking exhausted. He wiped the sweat off his face and shook his head helplessly.
The young man's expectant gaze dimmed, returning to calmness. His gaze was determined. "If that's the case, I'll continue to search until I succeed! If I still can't find it, then I'll have to … "
Heng sighed. "Why do you have to do this? You're willing to sacrifice yourself for a sword? "
He walked to the round table, picked up the pot of warm water and poured it into his mouth. After drinking half the pot, he turned to the guard. "What happened now?"
The guard was here because of the commotion outside. These days, Heng had received several reports of fighting outside. However, he had spent most of his time in the forging room. The isolation was too good so he did not know what was going on outside.
The guard repeated what he had just said.
"Tell them to get lost!" said Heng mercilessly.
