The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 136 The Beginning of the Blade Shadow Killing

"don’t worry!"

In the dark night, a familiar voice came.

At some unknown time, Tai Lung, wearing a silver cloak, appeared behind Huo Jixing.

"Lord Swain's reputation in Shurima was forged through bloody killings. No one dares to go against his will."

Tai Lung looked at the Noxian fleet on the sea level, and there were little blood ripples in his cold, deep eyes.

Swain was once a rising star of command within the empire.

He erected countless Noxtras on the gravel of Shurima, conquered countless tribes, and built the reputation of the Noxus Empire with corpses covering the desert.

"No problem, orderly."

Tai Lung's eyes turned and fell on the gorgeous castle in front of him, and he spoke softly: "Perry's appearance is a bit unexpected."

Huo Jixing stepped forward and told Perry about the crimes he had committed on the border of Northland.

Looking at it now, it is Perry's noble status that absolves him of war crimes.

But his appearance here made Huo Jixing realize that something was wrong.

"Ok?"

Just as he was thinking, he saw Tai Lung walking directly towards the orderly officer's mansion.

"If you have any questions, let's interrogate them directly."

Tai Lung spoke coldly, and the silver dagger shone coldly under the cloak, piercing the night.

"who?"

When the castle guards saw Tyrone, they immediately stepped forward to stop him. The accidental fire in the trading area had already attracted the attention of the castle.

"Special Envoy of the Noxian High Command!" Talon threw out the token, and his cold tone made the guards feel cold.

"I need to meet Nasr."

What happens next starts to get easier.

Under the respectful guidance of the castle guards, Tai Long and Huo Jixing entered the castle.

Lokronde is located in the southern part of the empire and is also a port city.

The architectural style has deviated somewhat from the solemnity of Noxus.

Although the walls of the castle are still thick and solid, exquisitely carved patterns can be seen everywhere in the corridors and courtyards.

Each piece of furniture is crafted from precious woods and metals and inlaid with gems and pearls, displaying aristocratic glory and authority.

In the meeting room.

The windows made of colored glaze are bright and transparent, overlooking Rocklund hidden in the dark night.

"Nasr Muniz, I have met Lord Tyrone!"

An old man with a kind face, dressed in noble attire, saluted Tailong respectfully.

Although Nasr is old, he is still in good spirits. He always has a smile on his face, which makes people feel warm and friendly.

"Perry is staying with you?"

Tai Lung looked at Nasr indifferently, refused his invitation to sit down, and spoke bluntly, with the silver dagger dancing between his fingers.

"Let him come to see me."

"Okay." Nasr ignored Tai Lung's rudeness and quickly ordered the attendants to wait beside him.

After a while, Perry, led by his attendants, appeared in the living room. The moment he saw Tai Lung, he couldn't hide his panic.

The identity of the special envoy of the High Command is known throughout Noxus because of the name of Blade's Shadow.

His silver blade has long been stained with the blood of imperial nobles and imperial generals.

Huo Jixing stood silently behind Tai Long, staring at everything that happened in the living room, and truly felt the terrifying influence brought by the shadow of the blade.

"General Gullance ordered me to come here." Faced with Tyrone's inquiry, Perry said without hesitation.

“Why go to Zeman Chamber of Commerce?”

The silver dagger flashed sharply in his eyes, and Perry swallowed, thinking of his previous miserable life in prison.

"Someone would pass on the message to me, but when I went over there, all I saw was burning buildings."

He spoke hurriedly, looking flustered, wanting to pray for help from Nasr, who was also a noble.

After listening to the narration, Nasr's kind face disappeared and he stared at Perry coldly.

"Lord Tyrone, I will immediately put Lockrond under martial law." Nasr took a step forward, showing the power and status of an orderly officer.

"No need, just keep an eye on it secretly, and contact the Noxian fleet at the port in advance."

Tai Long's eyes moved slightly and he looked at everyone present coldly.

Then he led Huo Jixing into hiding in the night and left quickly.

In the Lokronde Plain, the blood-red sky became increasingly gloomy.

Even the glow of dawn cannot penetrate, and the crimson light is hidden behind the dark clouds.

Huo Jixing followed Tai Long and moved forward rapidly in the undulating hilly area.

Their destination was the Noxian camp guarding the Lokrond Plains.

General Gurlanth, a powerful figure in the Noxian nobility, has his own war group.

Now, he is commanding the battle group to fight in the Rocklund Plains to put down the rebellion.

But just halfway through, the two suddenly stopped and looked towards the hinterland of the plain.

Rumble!
The dull thunderous roar spanned endless distances, like the waves under a storm, continuously coming from a distance.

Looking far into the distance, it seemed like something terrifying was exploding in the air, air waves surged, and the clouds opened and mist dispersed.

Even in the hilly highlands, you can feel the plains trembling.

The next moment, the blood-red sky seemed to be torn apart, and a huge storm hung upside down in the middle of the sky and earth, raging in the clouds.

Then, streaks of blazing firelight illuminated the dark sky, and terrifying shock waves spread around, overturning and destroying patches of hilly ground and green trees.

"problem occurs!"

Tailong and Huo Jixing looked at each other with a bad feeling in their hearts.

The two faced the storm and moved forward again.

About a quarter of an hour later, Tai Lung and Huo Jixing hid in the dark and saw the retreating Noxian battle group.

Defeat like a mountain!
In front of their eyes, a scene of desolation and tragic defeat suddenly appeared.

In the hills and mountains, densely packed Noxian soldiers were reluctantly forming an array under the commander's orders and withdrawing from the hinterland of the plains.

They were exhausted and demoralized, with expressions of frustration and despair on their faces.

There were also many people carrying the injured bodies of their companions, and their whines and cries were mixed in with the messy footsteps.

"It was an explosion caused by black powder."

Huo Jixing whispered softly, recognizing the injuries of the Noxian soldiers.

Broken flesh and blood, and a disintegrated body are completely beyond the reach of ordinary blades.

Only a sweeping explosion could cause such horrific injuries.

Tyrone looked at the retreating Noxian soldiers and chose to continue deeper into the Lokrond Plains.As the two of them went deeper, the air was gradually filled with the strong smell of blood and black gunpowder, and occasionally lost ordnance supplies could be seen.

Immediately afterwards, they saw the collapsed Noxian camp and the hastily constructed broken berms around it.

On the bloody battlefield outside the camp, broken armor and weapons were scattered, as well as the red flag representing Noxus, which fluttered gently in the wind.

Countless Noxian soldiers were blown to death or burned to death by the sudden black powder, and their bodies were scattered on the ground.

Their bodies were so mutilated that some were even difficult to identify.

The flowing blood dyed this once peaceful land red, and the silence told their cruel and tragic fate.
Also appearing in the field of vision were groups of rebels.

They enjoyed the joy of victory, like leeches all over the mountains and plains, frantically absorbing the remaining nutrients from the Noxian camp.

Tailong and Huo Jixing suppressed the killing intention in their hearts and ran towards the depths of the plain.

Thick smoke covered the sky, and the dark gray workshop stood halfway up the mountain.

Waves of low roars came from inside the workshop, and the smell of sulfur filled the nose.

Perhaps there was a major breakthrough on the front line, and the security at the city gates was much lax.

Tai Lung and Huo Jixing easily sneaked into the workshop and followed the route in their memories to the core area.

Within the field of vision, rows of rebel soldiers wearing mail patrolled in the narrow passage. Beside them were ordinary rebels carrying black powder on their backs.

Tai Lung stopped and looked at the core area with tight barriers. Knowing that he could not easily get over it, the corners of his mouth were half hooked and his eyes were cold.

"Enjoy the taste of steel!"

The silver dagger flashed, and Tyrone escaped into the darkness, running toward the rebel soldiers in the passage.

puff!

A cold light suddenly appeared.

The red blood sprayed like spring water, dyeing the thick walls red.

Like a wolf among sheep, Tai Lung raised his knife and easily harvested the lives of the rebel soldiers.

The air was filled with the smell of copper rust, and the texture of blood rose up.

Huo Jixing followed closely behind.

The red fire blade in his hand was unsheathed, and the fiery red light reflected the terrified faces of the rebels.

Scorching flames descended, and sword lights filled the sky.

Like a cold machine, he began to slaughter the rebel soldiers crazily.

In an instant.

The rebel soldiers in the passage and the ordinary rebels carrying black powder were all slaughtered, and the red blood turned into streams and flowed along the passage.

But this is not the end, but the beginning.

Further away, the sound of scattered footsteps came like a sudden rain, shaking the ground.

Countless rebel soldiers appeared in the passage. With red eyes and sharp blades in their hands, they rushed toward Tai Long and Huo Jixing.

Just in the face of extraordinary power.

The lives of ordinary people are like straw, easily harvested.

The silver sword light and hot flames overwhelmed the rebel soldiers who were advancing one after another.

A one-sided killing begins.

In the steel workshop, the rebel soldiers who lost their lives became stepping stones for Tai Lung and Huo Jixing. Sticky blood and broken corpses covered the passages.

Rumble!
Suddenly, there was an explosion and roar in the narrow passage.

Then, blazing fire shot into the sky.

【Suzaku·Liuhuo Yuyi】

Huo Jixing walked out of the explosion fire intact, frowning and looking at the burnt and damaged corpse at his feet.

It is somewhat similar to the power of a black powder grenade.

But these rebels used their own bodies as victims, like suicide bombers in previous lives.

Unfortunately, facing the defense of Huo Jixing's Flowing Fire Feather Clothes, the explosion damage was not enough.

In the ensuing killings, rebel soldiers would attack Tai Lung and Huo Jixing from time to time with black powder.

However, the effect is very unsatisfactory.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
As soon as they left the passage, before Tailong and Huo Jixing could stand still, deep purple runes of light fell down.

If you look carefully, you can see that they are energy spheres the size of fists.

They seemed to be equipped with tracking instruments, and they were heading towards the vital positions of the two people accurately.

"Let's fight quickly!"

The deep purple energy tide invaded, and Tyrone looked coldly at the many rune mages in purple robes in front of him.

A biting chill rose up on his body, and the silver cloak he wore seemed to be swaying slightly, and the tail corners cut through the air.

hum!
Tai Lung stepped lightly and disappeared on the spot.

In an instant, he appeared behind many rune mages in the vast hall.

The silver dagger fell and wiped the necks of the rune mages, drawing bright red blood stains.

Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!
Before the Rune Mage could finish the spell in his mouth, the world in his eyes quickly lost color and finally fell into darkness.

It seemed that Tai Lung could no longer suppress the murderous intention in his heart, so he turned into silver lightning and shuttled through the core area of ​​the workshop.

Wherever it passed, whether it was an ordinary person or an extraordinary person, the breath of life quickly dissipated, leaving only corpses on the ground.

Huo Jixing fell behind him and looked at Tai Long who had completely released himself, once again seeing the terrifying strength of a hero.

He no longer had any reservations.

The fire of Nanli boiled completely, and the red-golden light covered the body and the blade, killing through the rebel array in front of him, and then followed Tailong to deal with the fish that slipped through the net.

After a while, the massacre in the vast hall ended.

When Huo Jixing saw Tailong continuing to go deeper, he quickly finished touching the corpse and followed him.

Leaving the wide hall, a huge steel door with huge thickness came into view.

The door is engraved with exquisite patterns and decorations, faintly like an outline of a blooming black rose.

"As expected, it's Black Rose who is behind this!"

Pushing open the giant steel door, Huo Jixing saw the scenery inside, his pupils tightened, and he subconsciously thought of extinguishing the Nanli Fire on his body.

Inside an unusually large and bright warehouse.

The strong smell of sulfur filled the air, and mountains of black gunpowder covered the ground.

"Are these rebels crazy?"

Huo Jixing looked at the black powder in the warehouse, at least in tons.

But this is the only part of the warehouse that remains. From the remaining traces of movement on the ground, it can be seen that a considerable amount of black powder has been moved away.

Whoa!
