Sword Among Us Chapter 709 - Murong Clan Grand Elder

Chapter 709: Murong Clan Grand Elder

The port instantly fell into silence after the man’s arrogant words!

The sounds of battle beyond the port did not stop, however. Because of that, no one outside knew what the people on the port were negotiating.

They also did not know that because of the mysterious masked man’s words, the entire port was enveloped in an incredibly solemn and somber atmosphere.

Dream Clouds, Blood Robes, Monk with Thick Eyebrows, and the others were not the only ones with incredibly sour expressions. Even the people from Towering Palace looked at each other at a loss and in shock.

There was actually someone who would provoke two top-cla.s.s sects by himself.

“Sir, are you joking? You want to challenge so many of us alone?”

Dream Clouds almost thought that she had heard wrong. She scowled and stared at the man in black’s eyes, looking like she wanted to see through something.

The others also stared at the man in black with hostile expressions.

Even though he displayed extraordinary strength, the people gathered were top-cla.s.s elites on Dragon Rank and Phoenix Rank. Even if Happy and One Emperor were present, they might not dare to speak so arrogantly.

However, the mysterious man in black did not seem to care about respecting the elites from Cla.s.s One Hall or Towering Palace. He snorted coldly, turned around, and said, “With your strength, you are not worthy of the treasures from Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse.”

Once he finished speaking, he did not care about the people’s gazes, but turned around and walked to the transportation boats.

Bang!

When he pa.s.sed by a cart with two wheels, he kicked it with force, and the cart began rolling forward before cras.h.i.+ng into the transportation boats. All four chests broke free and rolled onto the deck.

“You—”

“How arrogant. I’d like to know just what right do you have to be so arrogant.”

The people behind him were infuriated. Evil Wolf laughed coldly and drew his swords, which shone with four colors. He swung them so they intersected with each other, and they turned into two rays of flowing light that shot out from the sides quietly.

The mysterious masked man in black seemed to have eyes growing on the back of his head. The moment Evil Wolf drew his weapons, he suddenly hooked his leg on the wheel of a cart.

“HAH!”

With a shout, the cart that weighed hundreds of pounds was thrown into the air. With a dull bang that sounded like a thunderclap as it charged through the air, it rammed against the people on the port.

Evil Wolf was not the only one affected. Cla.s.s One Hall and Towering Palace’s elites were all within the range of the attack

The group’s expressions changed drastically!

When the two flying swords cut the cart, they scattered everywhere.

Boom!

The large cart crashed into the battlefield with an astonis.h.i.+ng momentum. Quite a number of people were crushed to death on the spot.

“I knew it, something happened!”

“That guy is so strong! By the looks of his, his Arm Strength might be over 250 points!”

While the elites from Wind a.s.sault Tower cried out in surprise, there was also delight on their faces because of Cla.s.s One Hall and Towering Palace’s misfortune.

They were originally worried that the mysterious man in black would divide the loot with Cla.s.s One Hall and Towering Palace, but by the looks of it, they did not manage to divide the loot fairly, which was why they incited the mysterious man in black’s wrath.

“Haha!”

“They’re fighting, tsk tsk!”

“Is that guy a player or an NPC? He’s too strong!”

“The people from Cla.s.s One Hall can’t fight against him at all.”

The elites from various factions of power had drawn much closer. They stared at the chaotic situation at the port without blinking with a lot of excitement.

On the port, Monk with Thick Eyebrows and another great player from Cla.s.s One Hall joined the chaotic fight.

The mysterious man in back flew and avoided Evil Wolf and Monk with Thick Eyebrows’ attacks, then turned around to deliver a kick from an unbelievable angle. He managed to kick more than forty Dragon Rank Cla.s.s One Hall elites so violently that they coughed up blood and flew away.

At the same time, he used the force from the kick to retreat, allowing himself to avoid the suction force from Blood Robes’ Heaven and Earth Reverse.

His techniques and his control over everything in the battle around him reached transcendence!

The brief contact allowed everyone to know who was the stronger among them.

“Just who are you?!”

Dream Clouds was enraged, but it was difficult for her to hide the terror in her eyes.

Evil Wolf, Monk with Thick Eyebrows, Blood Robes, and Tearful Bamboo were even injured when four of them attacked. The mysterious masked man in black’s strength made a strong sense of danger surge in her heart.

She did not dare to treat him as a normal n.o.body anymore.

“It doesn’t matter who I am. Hmph, you’re so-called great players on Dragon Rank, but that’s all there is to you. The elites of the four top-cla.s.s sects are only so strong…”

The man’s hoa.r.s.e voice had an incredibly smug and arrogant tone.

The mysterious man in black crossed his arms over his chest while he stared at Dream Clouds with a subtle look in his eyes. Then, his gaze suddenly landed on the duo beside Musical Note.

“Grim Green, I recall that you’re ranked on the fourth place on Dragon Rank, and you, Vast Heaven… The people from Cla.s.s One Hall aren’t much, but I heard that your sword techniques are pretty good. Today, since we met, let’s exchange a few blows!”

Grim Green and Vast Heaven said nothing. They subconsciously exchanged a glance and saw the grave look in each other’s eyes.

If the scene previously had not happened, they might mock and reject that person’s arrogant suggestion, but regardless of whether it was the control over his strength, over the situation, or his skills, all of them seemed to have been trained over and over again, which put a lot of pressure on others. The two even suspected whether he was the person at the top of Dragon Rank.

“If that’s the case…”

“Please grant us your instructions.”

For the treasures of Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse, the two men agreed to the man in black’s suggestion at the same time.

The people from Cla.s.s One Hall were ridiculed by the man in black, but they did not fly into rage on the spot. Instead, they quietly retreated to the back and gave up s.p.a.ce for the trio.

Just when everyone beyond the port paid attention to the progression of events at the port, no one noticed that a small boat had appeared at some unknown point in time at the center of the lake, and it was slowly drawing closer to the riverbank.

*****

“I say, great grandmasters, there were many things taken from Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse, and you’re asking me to carry them alone? Isn’t that a little too much? How am I supposed to do it alone?”

Happy stood at the bow of the boat, and his face was full of gloominess and resignation.

He had been chatting happily with s.h.i.+ Qingxuan on the pleasure boat when three great grandmasters had appeared to bring him to this d.a.m.n boat, and they even ordered him to steal the resources from the marshall’s army.

“Hmph! Excuses, excuses! If we don’t ask you young’uns to do this sort of thing, are we supposed to do it ourselves? You just have to steal one of their boats and sail it near that island in the lake before sinking it. At that time, you will complete your mission,” an old voice said from within the chamber of the boat.

Happy smiled wanly.

“Great grandmasters, you overestimate me. I’m not dumb enough to rob the marshall’s elite cavaliers alone. Kuo Zhong, Xu Zhiling, and their strategists will all devour me if they find out that I stole from them.”

“Don’t worry. That batch of resources is used as a decoy. Most of the resources have already been secretly moved out. Hence, this batch will not be guarded by those people.’

“Since it’s just a small portion, why are we still going for them so eagerly?”

Happy was extremely unwilling to fight against a legitimate army. Besides, they were also the strongest of all soldiers—heavy cavaliers.

“Enough with the nonsense, even a small portion of the resources from Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse is priceless. It’s incredibly important to the Murong Clan! You must obtain it!”

The voice from within the boat was firm, and its tone gave no room for argument.
