The big man who brought Su Que here said: "He is here to set up a stall."
"Oh?" The bald man's lazy gaze suddenly sparked with interest as he looked at Su Que, "What are you selling?"
"Hidden weapons." Su Que replied.
"Oh?" Upon hearing the hidden weapons on sale, the bald man's eyes lit up.
The body that had been slumped on the acid wood chair slightly lifted off the backrest.
"Let me see." The bald man said.
Su Que then took out one of the crossbows.
He hadn't expected the bald man to be interested in hidden weapons.
However, this was perfect, since the bald man was sent by the Zaiyang Sect to preside here, suggesting his status was not insignificant.
If the bald man was interested in his Tang Sect's hidden weapons, he might as well sell them to him, saving the trouble of setting up a stall.
Moreover, this bald man belonged to the Zaiyang Sect.
Though Zaiyang Sect is powerful, it doesn't hold dominance alone, and must face other forces in the Prefecture City.
If Zaiyang Sect acquired the Tang Sect Hidden Weapon Forging Diagram and mass-produced Tang Sect Crossbows, their combat power would significantly increase.
If Zaiyang Sect first buys his crossbows and witnesses the power of Tang Sect's hidden weapons, they would surely want the Hidden Weapon Forging Diagram to mass-produce them.
By then, he could sell the Hidden Weapon Forging Diagram to Zaiyang Sect at a high price.
"What's the story behind this crossbow?"
The bald man had already stopped smoking the dry pipe, body once again leaning forward, eyes fixed tightly on the Tang Sect Crossbow Su Que displayed.
This crossbow mechanism is complex; anyone could tell that ordinary crossbows cannot compare.
"This is a Tang Sect Crossbow," Su Que said immediately.
Tang Sect!
Upon hearing these words, both the bald man and his subordinates standing there showed a look of surprise in their eyes.
Tang Sect's hidden weapons are unrivaled under the heavens!
If this crossbow is a Tang Sect hidden weapon, then aside from other crossbows forged by Tang Sect, there would be no other crossbows in the world better than this.
The bald man now sat up straight, "Where did you acquire this crossbow?"
"That's none of your concern!" Su Que said:
"If your Zaiyang Sect is interested in buying, we can negotiate the price."
The bald man squinted slightly, looking at the crossbow in Su Que's hand:
"Are you sure this crossbow is truly a Tang Sect's?"
Su Que did not reveal the origin, arousing the bald man's doubts.
Though the Tang Sect's reputation is renowned.
Few have actually seen Tang Sect's hidden weapons.
Because most who have seen Tang Sect's hidden weapons end up dead.
"I've already said it, this is the genuine Tang Sect's hidden weapon," Su Que said:
"If you don't believe, I can demonstrate its power."
"Alright." The bald man responded.
"Let's target this pillar," Su Que suggested.
"Okay." The bald man agreed.
Then, the bald man and his subordinates turned their gaze to the pillar Su Que mentioned, eager to witness the crossbow's power.
Su Que immediately aimed at the redwood pillar and pulled the crossbow.
Bam!
The sound of the mechanism suddenly erupted as a crossbow arrow shot forward fiercely, slicing through the air towards the redwood pillar.
The arrow pierced through the redwood pillar as easily as it would through tofu, instantly creating a transparent hole.
Subsequently, the arrow continued its momentum, heading towards a wall.
Bam!
Another loud bang ensued.
A cloud of dust burst from the wall, with fragments of stone scattering.
The arrow penetrated the wall, leaving only its two-finger length end exposed.
The bald man and his five subordinates gawked at the arrow lodged in the wall.
They had never seen a crossbow with such power.
This crossbow, even if not a Tang Sect hidden weapon, is an exceedingly powerful mechanism.
"Is everything in your other bag similar to this crossbow?" the bald man asked.
"There are five more of these crossbows," Su Que replied:
"And in the bag, there are ones that surpass this crossbow."
Upon hearing this, the bald man's eyes twinkled, "May I see all of them?"
Su Que immediately opened the bag's mouth and showed the hidden weapons inside to the bald man.
The bald man's eyes widened as he pondered.
With these hidden weapon mechanisms, he could wholly assemble a hidden weapon squad.
This hidden weapon squad might be capable of killing multiple Peak of Qi Blood Realm martial artists.
"So, shall we discuss the price?" Su Que suggested.
"Hold on a moment." The bald man raised his hand slightly.
He then hooked his hand, signaling the big man who brought Su Que to step forward.
Once the man approached, the bald man whispered into his ear using True Qi to gather sound:
"Is he alone? Does he have companions?"
The bald man wished to take possession of these hidden weapons, equip his trusted followers, and form a secret team.
However, he feared Su Que spreading news about selling the weapons to him.
He inquired whether Su Que had companions to ascertain if others had seen Su Que enter this mansion.
If not, he planned to ensure Su Que disappears from the earth here.
Furthermore, he believed that these Tang Sect hidden weapons' tremendous power must come at a high price.
Eliminating Su Que not only served to keep secrets, but he also hoped to save money.
"No," the man replied.
The bald man felt relieved immediately.
"Alright then..."
The bald man placed the tobacco pipe on the coffee table and slowly stood up.
As he stood, his body reached nine feet tall, resembling a small mountain.
"May I know your offered price?"
The bald man asked while walking towards Su Que.
"The crossbow you just saw, two thousand taels per piece..."
Su Que promptly listed the prices.
'Indeed costly...' the bald man thought, continuing towards Su Que.
The bald man's tower-like figure approached, yet Su Que remained unmoved, only saying:
"Are you interested in buying?"
"Hah!"
Suddenly, the bald man exhaled loudly, his whole being erupted violently, his right fist as large as a sand pot, smashed towards Su Que.
Tiger Roar Fist, Descending Tiger!
The fists roared, and the power surged through the air.
The bald man approached Su Que, aiming to enter within eight steps of Su Que.
Su Que had lowered the crossbow after testing it.
The bald man, a Late Stage of Five Blood Martial Artist, ranked among the top in Jian'an Prefecture City.
"Descending Tiger" is the opening move of the "Tiger Roar Fist".
This move is quick and fierce; he was confident, as long as within eight steps, he could crush the skull of this weapon seller before the crossbow could fire!
Bam!
Yet the next moment, it was the bald man's head that exploded.
As if a firework had been set off, the bald man's brains mixed with blood became a mess of red and white splatter, scattering backwards, staining the walls and the acid wood chair.
And the faces of the several subordinates.
These subordinates, seeing the bald man head towards Su Que, believed Su Que was bound to die.
Before they realized what had happened, there was a loud bang, and the bald man's head exploded.
His brains and blood then splattered on their faces.
"Plop!"
The bald man's headless body fell to the ground powerlessly.
With the bald man's body no longer blocking their view, those subordinates immediately saw Su Que.
"Was the Hall Master slain by him?"
Su Que's strike was so swift they couldn't perceive it.
They knew the bald man was a Late Stage of Five Blood Martial Artist, mastering "Tiger Roar Fist", his strength formidable.
Yet, the man before them unexpectedly smashed the bald man's skull without them understanding how.
"This person is definitely a Meridian Opening Realm expert!"
Thinking this, they all panicked, feeling a chill rise from the spine to the skull.
For a moment, they didn't know whether to flee or to beg for mercy.
