Chapter 378 Landslide (1)
Tian Hun remembered the last time that the Terracotta Army came out. It was decades ago.
That day, thousands of dots covered the sky, and they banded together to completely vanquish the army that tried to go against the kingdom.
The one thing that Tian Hun remembered about that day was that it was a complete and total massacre. Not one terracotta warrior was destroyed. And yet, every single one of the enemy was beheaded.
It was that day that he realized that as long as the imperial palace had someone able to control the Terracotta Army, the kingdom would never fall. The Tian family would be the strongest family in the world.
That was the last time that he saw the Terracotta Army being used. He never saw it again, not even when Liu Ling Tian stormed the capital twenty years ago, and caused a blood bath.
The reason? The king, Tian Long, refused to act against Liu Ling Tian. He refused to risk his life, which would always be the case when someone used the Terracotta Army. Every time that a king used the Terracotta Army, the curse of the king would become stronger, and the king would die faster.
But now, he saw it before him. Not the same sight, but a similar one. He saw nine men before him, all stronger than him in aura, and all of them with the peeling clay for skin.
This was the Terracotta Army. There was no doubt. And it was impossible. The fastest that anyone had refined the throne before was five days!
Tian Hun was ready to hold the palace for a whole two weeks, preparing for Liu Feng\'s death, and the crown prince\'s refining speed.
But the throne had been refined? And Liu Feng was strong enough to actually control the Terracotta Army? All of this seemed like an illusion by the enemy. This couldn\'t be possible.
But the appearance of two men before him only told him that this was exactly what was going on.
Liu Feng and Liu Man appeared in front of Tian Hun, as strong as men could be. There was no crippling curse that was forcing Liu Feng to remain bed ridden even though the army had been summoned.
He wasn\'t showing the signs that all of the kings before him showed. This was not what was supposed to happen.
"So then, what is the situation like? What is left to handle? I can\'t see any one left. We outnumber them, and we are even winning against them. I really wasted my time. I thought that I could test the power of these soldiers out." Liu Feng shook his head and sighed.
He looked around and saw a lot of familiar faces. He saw his father, his master, his foster father, and he saw Tian Jiang and Cai Guo, all fighting.
Well, his father wasn\'t exactly fighting. His father was sitting in front of the palace walls, with a giant sword handle in front of him?
A handle? The handle itself was as big as a normal handle. That didn\'t make any sense.
"Hahaha! To think that I was right. Your blood, your talent, it all makes sense. Your blood is from that long line. And it gets so hilarious. Yue Zhe actually passed this sword as he came inside? It must have took all of his will power to not fight right then and there." Liu Man burst into laughter.
"What are you talking about?" Liu Feng was not following.
"Your father there, the sword that he holds? That is not a sword that is meant to be used by humans. That is a sword meant only for giants. True giants. Giants who used to guard the gates of the heavens. They had these swords." Liu Man said.
"This is a weapon that came from the heavens?" Liu Feng was shocked and surprised. He didn\'t think that his father had such a good weapon.
"No. Not this one. That weapon was inherited by the guards long after they were banished from the heavens. This one, this one is a mere prop. A mere replica made with a sliver of the real weapon\'s true power." Liu Man shook his head.
"And even with that sliver, I can sense that it is much stronger than an Imperial Artifact! How powerful was the real weapon?" Liu Feng asked.
"Strong. It was unbeatable until it went against the wrong opponents." Liu Man chuckled.
"The strong opponent? Who was it?" Liu Feng was too curious now.
"Yue Zhe. He broke the sword because it was able to scratch his fur and almost cut his head off." Liu Man shook his head and sighed.
"That was a good fight to be a part of. But it was a long time ago. It doesn\'t matter anymore." He shook his head.
"But you said that this sword was a part of a line of giants that guarded the heavens? And you said that they were banished? What was that about? How am I connected to the giants? Why were they banished?" Liu Feng had too many questions unanswered.
"Ah! I have already spoken too much. This is a matter that we can only talk about when we go to the Ancient Realm. As much as I consider myself on the same level as the heavens, they have become too arrogant these past few centuries. I would rather not risk your life by talking about this now." Liu Man shook his head and sighed.
"Then you have got to stop talking. You lure me in with all of these interesting questions, and then you tell me that we aren\'t supposed to be talking about this here." Liu Feng shook his head.
He looked at his father one more time. This was too interesting.
