The young man was standing in the market, quite a distance away from the three buildings, but with Tianyang's current eyesight, he could naturally see the three buildings easily.
The three buildings have different styles. The tall building on the left has a dome that is as pointed as a tower. The outer wall is dark gray. There are not many lights on the building. Even if there is light, it is dim. Looking in from the window, there are shadows swaying inside. Most of these shadows are blurry and can't be seen clearly. Tianyang thought, if he is not wrong, then this building should belong to "shadow".
The building on the right is completely different from the tower in the shadow. The exterior of the building is colorful and brightly lit, as if a dance party is being held inside. And if you listen carefully, you can faintly hear the sound of electronic music coming from the building. Tianyang's mouth slightly raised, this building should belong to the "Hunger Dance".
As for the building in the middle, the sign was even more obvious. On the building stood a red chimney, from which thick smoke billowed.
Tianyang scanned the three buildings and finally chose the Shadow Tower. Since all three of them collected materials and weapons, it didn't really matter which one he went to. It was just that the Shadow Tower looked quieter, and the boy didn't like the lively atmosphere of the Hunger Ball. As for the Red Chimney, Tianyang bet that the food there probably didn't taste very good.
When passing by a stall, Tianyang felt something strange and reached out, just in time to catch a hand that was reaching towards his waist.
Turning around, I saw a skinny man with sweat all over his face, pointing at Tianyang and yelling, "Hurry up, someone come, he stole my things and wanted to beat me up."
There was a sound of footsteps, and more than a dozen people rushed out from a narrow and shadowy alley nearby. They were all holding guns and swords, with evil looks on their faces, and the leader was an Ascendant.
Tianyang glanced at the rank emblem on his shoulder, and it turned out to be a level 2 God of War rank.
"Adu, what's going on?" The War God glanced at the young man with malicious eyes and asked with a sneer.
The thin man named Adu hurriedly said, "Brother Lanshan, please save me. This bastard stole my things. I argued with him for a few words and he wanted to hit me."
The big man named Lanshan said in a muffled voice: "My friend, you have come to the wrong place. The Gray Market is not a place where you can mess around. Quickly release my people and hand over your belongings. Otherwise, I can guarantee that you will not be able to leave the market!"
Tian Yang's obviously changed voice sounded from behind the mask: "Your method has deceived quite a few people, right?"
The people watching the excitement around them all laughed softly. Tianyang guessed correctly that this group called Lanshan relied on their large numbers to cheat many people in the gray market, and they specifically cheated new faces.
The boy was wearing a mask, so it was hard to tell him apart just by his appearance. However, the people from Lanshan had been in the market for many years and had developed a keen eye. They had actually been eyeing Tianyang for a long time, and when they saw that Tianyang was led by Black Snake, they knew that he was a newcomer.
Originally, I wanted to let the skinny guy steal things. This guy named Adu was not a clean person, but he was very skilled. Basically, every time he stole something, he got something.
Unexpectedly, this time they hit a wall and were caught by Tianyang. Lanshan's gang simply turned the tables and relied on their numbers to force the boy to surrender.
Now facing the young man's questioning, Lan Shan's face remained calm and his heart remained calm. He sneered and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Either you spend money to avoid disaster. Or, wait for your uncle Lan Shan to give you some blood, and then you can choose."
"me?"
The voice behind the mask was slightly hoarse, without any emotional ups and downs: "If I choose, then of course, I will make you suffer a little."
Tianyang's hand suddenly shook, and there was a sound of crackling. The thin man's hand shook like a wave, and the bones of this arm were shattered. The whole shoulder blade was broken by Tianyang. The thin man screamed, but the pain was secondary. The important thing was that his arm was useless. Even if it was cured, he couldn't expect it to be as flexible as before.
This is tantamount to costing his life!
Lan Shan's pupils shrank. He didn't expect that Tian Yang, the new guy, would be so ruthless. He started fighting as soon as he said so. He immediately said viciously: "Kill him!"
Seven or eight big men raised crude rifles armed with live ammunition. When the onlookers saw that they were about to take action, except for some ascenders, the ordinary people quickly hid aside.
Boom boom boom—
The roar of gunfire drowned out the noise of the nearby market. Flames spurted out of the muzzles of guns, and lines of fire shot straight into the sky.
The boy stood still, and suddenly his body lit up with brilliant silver flames, and the star essence spread outward and spread in all directions. When the bullets hit the star essence, it was like hitting an invisible wall, the bullet heads were squeezed and deformed, and then stretched and melted by the star essence, and finally turned into dots of red iron liquid that splashed onto the ground.
After a round of shooting, the boy was unharmed.
Tianyang raised his hand from his cloak, the star essence gathered at his fingertips, and he flicked his fingers. A little bit of silver light shot out like a bullet, hitting the foreheads of the gunmen and lifting their skulls. In the blood splatter, seven or eight gunmen fell down, their eyes wide open, and died on the spot.
Lan Shan's legs were shaking. He finally realized that he had offended a tough guy. The man pointed at Tian Yang with trembling teeth and said, "New here, how dare you kill someone in the market!"
Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of wind in his ears, and Tianyang, wearing a fox mask, suddenly disappeared from his sight. Then his chest felt hot, and he looked down, and a beam of silver light burst out from his chest.
Lan Shan's body shook violently, he trembled forward, covered his chest and turned around with difficulty. What he saw was Tian Yang holding up a finger from his cloak.
On that finger, stars were still dancing noisily.
Then the world spun around, and he saw the colorful night, and his vision gradually blurred...
This area of the market became deathly silent, in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of other places.
In less than a few seconds, all the members of Lanshan's group, except for the thin man, were dead! Although these people were just low-level people in the market, like parasites, their death at the hands of a newcomer was still shocking.
After a moment, a man wearing a beast mask said gloomily: "It's not a pity for these people to die, but you openly killed people, isn't that too arrogant?"
Tian Yang replied calmly: "It's no harm to kill mosquitoes and flies because they make a lot of noise. Why do you want to stand up for them?"
The man's eyes behind the mask changed several times, showing anger, but more of fear. Then he shrank back and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Tianyang looked at the thin man on the ground again. The thief named Adu suddenly jumped up. Regardless of his serious injuries, he kowtowed to the young man repeatedly, his head banging loudly: "Sir, please spare me, sir, please spare me! I was blind and offended you, sir, please forgive me."
After knocking for a long time, Tianyang did not respond, and Ah Du's teeth chattered. Until someone sighed softly, "Stop knocking, he left.
"
The thief then dared to raise his head, and sure enough, Tianyang had disappeared, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he saw the bodies of Lanshan and others, and suddenly he was overwhelmed with grief, his eyes turned red, and he wailed repeatedly.
Soon, someone took the body away and poured a few buckets of water onto the ground, causing blood to flow into the ditch. Soon, except for a faint trace of blood on the ground, the market had returned to normal.
Those who should buy things buy things, and those who should sell things sell things. No one feels sorry for Lanshan and others. Because such things often happen every time the market opens.
This is a lawless place, either you kill or you are killed.
After a short interlude, Tianyang arrived at the Shadow Tower. The tower was tall, and the lights could only barely illuminate the second and third floors. Below that, it was just a dark silhouette embedded in the night.
The lobby on the first floor was dimly lit and there were only a few people inside.
When Tianyang entered, he encountered no obstruction. He looked around and found that the lobby was extremely simple. There was nothing else except a circle of shelves that were better than nothing.
Oh no, there was a table in the northeast corner. There was a sign saying "Inquiry Office" on the table, but there was no one behind the table.
The few customers were milling around the shelves. Tian Yang passed by a shelf and glanced at it casually, but was stunned.
There was only one sword on the shelf, and the electronic screen next to it displayed the instructions.
Neon: Material weapon. When injected with star energy, it will produce a rainbow light field. Opponents in the field will be visually disturbed. The price is 8,000 contribution points.
Material weapons!
Tianyang was very surprised. He didn't expect that the Shadow store would just casually put a raw weapon on the shelf for sale. And looking around, it seemed that no one was guarding it. Weren't they afraid that the things would be taken away by customers
After calming himself down, Tianyang walked to the consultation desk. Seeing a silver bell on the table, he picked it up and shook it gently.
A crisp bell rang, and a moment later, a short old man came over. He jumped onto the high chair behind the stage and sat on it, barely reaching the height of Tianyang's chest.
"What's the matter?" The old man's voice and expression were hinting at one thing: If you have something to say, please say it quickly. I'm busy. Don't bother me!
Behind the fox mask, Tian Yang maintained his previous voice: "I want to sell two material weapons, will you accept them?"
The old man sneered with a smug look on his face: "We need to see first whether the customer's goods are worth our while. We Shadows won't accept just any scrap metal."
Tian Yang didn't waste any words and directly took out the "Silkworm Gloves" and "Mandragora Short Blade". The former was obtained from the Iron Wall officer Zhang Mang, and the latter was looted from the young master Yun Yao in the family competition.
When the two weapon materials were placed on the table, the old man jumped up as if he had received an electric shock. He first glanced at Tianyang, then hurriedly took out some tools from the drawer under the table and quickly began to identify them.
After a moment, he exhaled, holding the gloves and said, "This is the Cannibal Glove. The original owner was Zhang Mang, an officer of the Iron Wall. I heard that he was killed not long ago. I didn't expect to see the gloves here tonight."
He patted the short blade again and said, "I don't know who the original owner of this thing is, but it is exquisitely made and gorgeously decorated. I think it should belong to those big shots in the upper five sects. These two things of yours are both hot potatoes."
