The old Taoist priest on the stage and many martial arts practitioners below the stage were somewhat puzzled as to why Zhu Yunwen emphasized his previous statement and asked whether he could use weapons.
The old Taoist priest even looked blankly at the long sword in his hand, thinking to himself, "Didn't I use my own weapon? Of course it can be used, so what's there to ask?"
However, he did not expect that the weapon Zhu Yunwen was referring to was not just a simple longsword.
It should be noted that the weapons he carried with him were absolutely the most powerful weapons in the Ming Dynasty and even the world at that time. For example, he also carried a small but extremely powerful pistol with him.
Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty almost exclusively uses firearms similar to rifles. Even smaller pistols are about half the length of an arm.
Zhu Yunwen made a pistol for himself out of fine steel, but it was only the size of a palm, and he always kept it in his sleeve.
When he needs to use it, he flicks his wrist forcefully, and the gun slips into his palm, ready for immediate use.
In addition, he also had many small bombs that he had previously modified. These bombs would explode as soon as he took them out of his body, released the safety, and threw them. They were also very powerful.
These weapons have not yet been widely used in the military. It can be said that Zhu Yunwen himself possessed the most advanced and cutting-edge weapons, which became his greatest safeguard.
That's why he asked that question at this moment. No matter how powerful the martial arts masters he faces are, as long as his weapon is functional, they are no match for him.
Zhu Yunwen could easily deal with them, and there wouldn't be any major accidents.
Zhao Qingzhu had tested all of these things. As a top expert in the martial arts world, she dared not even approach Zhu Yuntong's weapons.
Zhu Yunwen was naturally no match for the white-haired, youthful-looking Taoist priest before him.
However, the old Taoist priest still believed that Zhu Yunwen was a martial arts master. He thought that the leader of the Tianlong Gang must not be an ordinary person and must be very strong.
With this mindset, he naturally dared not underestimate Zhu Yunwen in any way. He channeled his internal energy, gripped his longsword tightly, and said to Zhu Yunwen:
"I've long heard that a remarkable young man has emerged in the martial arts world, the leader of the Tianlong Gang."
Not only is he powerful, but he is also meticulous and likely connected to a series of recent events in the martial arts world.
Today, I'd like to learn from the old Taoist priest, but I hope we can stop here and not ruin our harmony.
Zhu Yunwen, however, spoke calmly:
"Harmony? Back when I was at Red Peak Mountain, because your Wudang disciples coveted my wife's beauty, you forced me to go up and compete in public with everyone's help."
After leaving Red Maple Mountain, I was surrounded by Wudang disciples who wanted to teach me a lesson. Then I checked into an inn and encountered several middle-aged Taoist priests from Wudang who wanted to avenge their disciples and also attacked me.
Oh, by the way, when you, old Taoist priest, attacked my wife just now, you certainly didn't hold back at all. And now, you're telling me about stopping short of causing trouble, about not ruining the harmony? Tell me, does this so-called harmony even exist?
These words made the white-haired, youthful-looking old Taoist blush with embarrassment, as Wudang has always valued harmony above all else.
However, the things Zhu Yunwen just said were a slap in the face, since he had said them in front of people in the martial arts world.
Moreover, Zhu Yunwen seemed to have no reason to lie about such things, and some of these events were witnessed by many people in the martial arts world.
Therefore, after being embarrassed by Zhu Yunwen's retort, the white-haired, youthful-looking old Taoist priest could only grit his teeth and snort, no longer uttering any more nonsense, and then he took his long sword and charged towards Zhu Yunwen.
Since Zhu Yunwen was not giving him face, he had no choice but to do his best to win back some respect.
However, he charged at Zhu Yunwen with his longsword, but Zhu Yunwen remained calm. After a moment, his left hand trembled slightly, and a small bomb, no bigger than a fingertip, fell into his palm from his sleeve.
He then squeezed the safety pin on the small bomb, and once it was engaged, the mercuric fulminate inside would begin to move.
As long as he threw it out, it would cause an explosion if it hit anything. So Zhu Yunwen casually threw a small bomb at the old Taoist priest with white hair and a youthful face from Wudang.
The old Taoist priest was puzzled. He never expected that Zhu Yunwen would throw such a small black object, about the size of a finger, at him so casually.
It's called a hidden weapon, but the way it's used is far too casual. It's thrown over so lightly that it's not only easy to dodge, but it's also easy to catch.
He then revealed a cold smile, and directly swung his longsword, the tip of which actually caught the small black bomb.
Then the old Taoist priest wanted to try something different, so he pressed against the bomb and actually spun around in the air.
Then they prepared to use force again to send the small bomb flying back.
But it was precisely because of this series of small movements that the mercury fulminate inside the small bomb collided.
With a bang, the small bomb, though small in appearance, contained gunpowder that Zhu Yunwen had refined separately, along with some other ingredients.
This results in smaller bombs being more powerful.
The moment the small bomb exploded, the longsword was instantly broken into several pieces.
The immense force of the impact forced the old Taoist priest to retreat hastily. It was only because he reacted quickly that he was spared injury from the broken sword tip.
After retreating a short distance, the old Taoist priest looked at Zhu Yunwen in shock.
