Firearms are one of Dragon Country's four great inventions, and they spread among the common people long ago, making an immortal contribution to the progress of human history.
Within the Tang Sect's hidden weaponry, there aren't just ordinary weapons and poisons. Included among them are some firearms, with the Thunder Fire Hall specially established within Tang Sect for the development of gunpowder weapons. This hall holds an extremely high position within Tang Sect and is under the direct control of the Sect Leader.
This hall is also a guarantee for the authority of the Sect Leader. Such firearms are rarely leaked outside, with at most some small devices being taken out for use occasionally, such as for splitting rocks or mountain breaking.
Everyone in Tang Sect is not unfamiliar with gunpowder, and the members of Tang Sect have always prided themselves on having the best firearms in the world...
But look at the small, black tube in Qin Fang's hands; it appears very ordinary and doesn't seem to have any special characteristics, yet the power it unleashed just now was terrifying.
Looking at the hidden weapons from just a moment ago, they are now all lodged in the stone wall, the Hundred Refined Fine Steel weapons have all been completely deformed, as though they were crushed by a thousand-pound weight.
Tang Nan's first reaction was to think—Qin Fang must be from Tang Sect's Thunder Fire Hall, but then he immediately denied this possibility.
The disciples of Thunder Fire Hall are never allowed to leave Tang Sect. They live and die within the sect, and if they leave, they are marked as traitors to Tang Sect and are immediately hunted down by Tang Sect's martial arts experts... All to prevent the spread of Tang Sect's firearms.
For many years, no Thunder Fire Hall disciple has ever been known to successfully leave Tang Sect. All have been executed on the spot, including some wrongful deaths. Nevertheless, Tang Sect abides by the principle of rather killing by mistake than letting go, strictly controlling the outflow of firearms...
"Not from Thunder Fire Hall, then how does he possess such a formidable firearm?"
This question suddenly arose in Tang Nan's mind.
Regarding the outside world, Tang Nan and Tang Wei, having lived in the isolated Tang Sect, they did not know what the outside world was like. Even if they occasionally looked up at the sky, where they could vaguely see airplanes passing by, they would consider them as common birds...
Although gunpowder was invented by the people of Dragon Country, in terms of its use, the Dragon Country People are now behind the Western Regions. Even until now, they've not managed to catch up.
Before retiring from the world, Tang Sect's research in gunpowder was considered leading on a global scale. Unfortunately, Tang Sect cherished its own mediocrity and stayed closed off, ultimately being phased out by the outer world early on.
As far as the power of the firearms developed by Tang Sect up to now, although Qin Fang is not very clear, it is impossible for them to catch up with modern weapons, equipment, and bombs...
The object in Qin Fang's hand is just an ordinary handgun. His gunmanship is much more reliable, and with his Scouting Skill that defies the heavens, Tang Sect's Secret Technique Sky-covering Blossom Rain is nothing but a piece of cake to him.
In just a split second, Qin Fang fired six shots consecutively, effortlessly downing the six hidden weapons...
The main feature of Sky-covering Blossom Rain is that it's extremely mysterious and unpredictable, with the core being these six hidden weapons, creating hundreds or even thousands of illusions, similar to the Qianmen Illusion Technique. It seems that the Tang Sect's martial arts experts created this secret technique by borrowing from the features of Qianmen Illusion Technique...
Downing one or two hidden weapons can indeed disrupt some of the illusions, but ultimately it's still not possible to dodge the attack of the remaining weapons.
Only by downing all six hidden weapons do the illusions, losing their foundation, immediately dissipate, thus posing no threat anymore... After all, these illusions have no killing power, the greatest threat still comes from these few actual hidden weapons.
"Who exactly are you? Why do you have our Tang Sect's firearms?"
Tang Nan's face turned quite ugly; at the same time, he became very cautious. He now didn't dare to act rashly, as a disciple of Tang Sect, they have infinite reverence for Tang Sect's most intimidating poisons and firearms.
Of course, they couldn't help but feel a bit arrogant in their hearts, thinking the gun Qin Fang held was a firearm that had leaked from Tang Sect.
With the situation having developed to this point, if they took this news back to Tang Sect, even if they had made many mistakes, they would easily be wiped away. Instead, it would be a great achievement.
"Tang Sect's firearms? You mean this?"
Qin Fang looked slightly startled and shook the gun in his hand, asking with an astonished face.
"Of course, who exactly are you? Only our Tang Sect's firearms could possess such great power. How did you get your hands on this? As long as you tell the truth, I can let today's incident slide..."
Tang Nan looked at Qin Fang, speaking with a gravely serious expression, as if the matter was of utmost importance, he was even willing to temporarily put aside the fact that Qin Fang had ruined his plans.
"I think your Tang Sect has been hidden from the world for too long, to the point where your brains have all rotted away. This is called a gun... It's easy to come by outside given enough money, and my gun is so weak it couldn't get any weaker. If you were hit by a bomb, the whole mountain would be leveled to the ground..."
"You people from Tang Sect are truly foolish to the extreme, yet you are still so shamelessly proud. Utter idiots..."
Qin Fang was not very clear about the fact that the Tang Sect possessed firearms, but from what Tang Nan indicated, it seemed that the Tang Sect had developed these powerful firearms a long time ago.
The Tang Sect hid from the world for hundreds of years, possibly ceasing to emerge since the Ming dynasty, which suggests they had reached such a level back then.
If the Tang Sect had chosen to share their knowledge instead of selfishly secluding themselves, perhaps the history of Dragon Country could have been rewritten much earlier, avoiding a century of humiliation.
But all that was already set in the past and unchangeable...
What truly enraged Qin Fang was the fact that even now, the Tang Sect seemed to strictly control these firearms, forbidding their dissemination. Anyone attempting to leak them would be hunted and killed by the Tang Sect—this was even more savage and cruel than the backward mountain folk here.
"You... are seeking death!"
Hearing Qin Fang belittling the Tang Sect, Tang Nan and Tang Wei, as Tang Sect disciples, immediately flew into a rage and, without a second thought, struck at Qin Fang again.
In this regard, the sense of honor of the Tang Sect disciples was indeed very strong. Even Tang Xin, who was restrained, could not help but reveal a trace of depression in her eyes and unconsciously frowned upon hearing Qin Fang's words.
Bang~~
Tang Wei was a swordsmanship expert, and his furious retaliation now came with all his killer moves at full speed, which was slightly faster than Tang Nan with his hidden weapons. He quickly advanced on Qin Fang.
The fool had no brains at all. Knowing that Qin Fang had a "gun," he still dared to get so close, purely asking for trouble.
Qin Fang, with no courtesy, aimed at his arm and fired a shot...
Ah~~~
Although Tang Wei was a powerful martial arts expert, the sudden feeling as if his arm had exploded, that intense pain, instantly spread throughout his whole body. Injured in the sword-holding arm, the short sword immediately and helplessly dropped to the ground.
Tang Nan had hidden weapons ready in his hands, poised to strike. But upon witnessing this scene unfold before him, he found himself unable to lift his hand.
Tang Wei's arm was almost completely dyed red with blood, hanging limply and the blood continued to flow profusely, presenting a ghastly sight.
While Tang Sect experts were all highly skilled, and some had hunted ferocious wild beasts in the mountains, they rarely had the chance to kill people. Even the number of times they had seen blood was extremely few, as sparring among fellow sect members wasn't meant to be lethal and usually stopped at minor contacts.
However, Qin Fang was not a member of the Tang Sect. The two sides were truly fighting with deadly intent. Tang Wei and Tang Nan wanted Qin Fang's life, so Qin Fang did not hesitate to retaliate harshly.
The shot Tang Wei took was just a small interest payment. Qin Fang had been poisoned and attacked with hidden weapons for nothing and used Tang Wei's arm to settle the score.
"Tang Wei, how are you?"
Tang Nan's face was extremely grim, but he still called out to Tang Wei. At this point, with both of them against one and still ending up in such a situation, it would become even more difficult for him alone if Tang Wei were to fall.
"My... my hand... it's ruined!"
Tang Wei turned pale, almost completely drained of color. Upon hearing Tang Nan's words, he clenched his teeth and forced these words out. Qin Fang's strike was extremely accurate; the shot had pierced through Tang Wei's arm, and if nothing unexpected happened, the bullet would be lodged in Tang Wei's arm bone, rendering the arm almost completely useless.
"What?"
Tang Nan was taken aback upon hearing this. Although he knew something was wrong when he saw the blood on Tang Wei, he hadn't expected Qin Fang to be far more ruthless than he imagined, essentially devastating Tang Wei's entire arm.
It was as if his right-hand man had been chopped off...
No, with Tang Zhan drawn away by Song Qingshan, Tang Wei was his only remaining assistance, and now this ally had nearly lost his combat effectiveness. How could Tang Nan not look pale with shock?
However, Tang Nan was not one to easily admit defeat, a complete hypocrite and a petty man. Unless there was no other choice but to reveal his weakness, he would not easily show fear.
The current situation was extremely unfavorable for him. The power of the gun in Qin Fang's hand exceeded his expectations; it seemed that this weapon was actually even more powerful than the Tang Sect's firearms as Qin Fang had mentioned.
Facing such adversity, Tang Nan's expression was solemn, while his brain was rapidly working, apparently seeking an appropriate strategy to respond.
"So what about Tang Sect's hidden weapons? I can still shoot through them with my gun..."
Watching the sullen-faced Tang Nan and the pale-faced Tang Wei, whose eyes showed a hint of fear, Qin Fang understood that he had intimidated both men and couldn't help feeling somewhat smug.
