Sword Among Us c1-1268

by Black Swordsman Online

  Thud!

  Thud!

  The arrows pierced numerous c.h.e.s.ts, and blood seeped down the men's backs. The force of the arrows was such that they passed through their targets and struck the ground with enough strength to get embedded there. Their fletchings trembled violently even after they stopped.

  The sneers had yet to disappear from the faces of those people when shock filled their eyes.

  One of the people on the horses had just avoided an arrow when he noticed a figure charging at him with the speed of lightning. Right when he turned his face around, his left side was seized by a huge force. He cried out in shock and anger, lost his balance, and fell from his horse.

  He swiftly got to his feet, but more than ten weapons were placed against his neck while intersecting with each other. Not far away, numerous arrowheads were aimed at him. His gaze fixed on them, and his restless limbs instantly stiffened. He no longer dared to move them the slightest bit.

  Eleventh Crane quietly stood up with his bow in hand at the top of the wall. With a cold gaze, he stared at the dark and thin man who had stopped moving.

  Chapter 632 - Resolute in Killing

  "Kill them!"

  "Surround them!"

  "Don't let a single one escape!"

  More than ten Mu Clan disciples had their bones fractured by the people who had popped out of nowhere. They had also rushed to Mu Clan without slowing down, which naturally filled the Mu Clan members with righteous indignation. They walked out of the branch, and with an aggressive presence, they surrounded a group of thin and black men who had already walked past the first circle of logs.

  There were twenty-four people in that group!

  When some of them were shot down by Eleventh Crane's bow technique, the black and thin men got off their horses with extreme shock and anger. They surrounded the area where their companions had been shot with arrows.

  "You…"

  "This is too much!" One of them was incredibly built and stood out from the others, and he was the one to rebuke the Mu Clan members with rather stiff Chinese. "We are from Thailand and Vietnam. We are here to make friends through our fists! How can you do this when greeting guests?!"

  A few of their companions had already died, so there was no way that they would not be angry!

  Silence fell between the two groups.

  When the Mu Clan members heard the speaker's words, they were first stunned.

  'They're from other countries? It's no wonder then why they couldn't recognize Mu Clan's flag and caused trouble in ignorance!'

  "Oh, you're saying that now? Weren't you acting all cool just now?"

  Rampaging Dragon had communicated many times with those people, so there was no way he would not know why the people from the southwestern countries had decided to yield.

  If there were no powerful players serving as garrison in Mu Clan or if they had reacted a little slower, things would not have progressed in the same manner.

  But when they ran into powerful elites and had their path blocked, they righteously declared that they were there to make friends through a clash of fists!

  This was not the first time Rampaging Dragon had seen such a situation.

  Besides, he knew clearly that while the people with great Affinity were not afraid of their fists clashing against weapons, they were incredibly wary of bows and arrows, especially powerful bow techniques. Their damage was very terrifying, and they were simply too fast. There was no way anyone could react to them. The threat from great archers like Eleventh Crane was self-evident once they decided to give their all.

  The overall strength of Mu Clan was also extraordinary. If all of them took action, then even if the newcomers were given one hundred boosts of courage, they would still not dare to fight them head-on.

  Rampaging Dragon would never show such people any respect. He raised his hand and pointed at the Mu Clan members who were helped to their feet by their friends before speaking in a cold voice.

  "You invaded our branch with force, and now, you want to cover up your deeds by saying that you're only here to make friends? Are you retarded, or do you think everyone here are idiots?!"

  "We have wounded as well," the dark man in the lead said in a growl. His eyes burned when he looked at Rampaging Dragon.

  "You deserved it." Rampaging Dragon swung his arm and said resolutely, "Kill all those who attacked and injured our men just now!"

  "Aye!"

  The Mu Clan members were very willing to take action when they heard Rampaging Dragon speak. Their expressions turned murderous from the incredible excitement they felt, and they pounced over in a flurry of motion.

  While the dark and thin men shouted in anger, they pushed away those who were uninjured and surrounded those who had been shot but survived it. They brought their hands up in preparation for battle before swinging them down.

  Whoosh!

  Blood gushed into the air!

  Seven souls perished, just like that.

  The branch master was the highest commander, and no matter where Mu Clan was, it was a rule that could not be bent.

  Rampaging Dragon had used the cold blooded and callous method to deal with enemies and win over the unanimous support of Mu Clan members in the past as well.

  The thin and dark men flew into a rage!

  When they saw that the people from Mu Clan chose to attack and kill them even after they had declared their intentions, the eyes of the remaining seventeen people went wide, and they could not calm down even after a long time had passed!

  However, they knew about Mu Clan's status and strength in the Chinese server, so they suppressed their urge to attack and just glared at the person who gave the order—Rampaging Dragon.

  He did not seem to have seen their gazes, which were so deadly that he would have died many times over if looks could kill. When he saw his clan members put away their weapons and stand to the side, he walked past them in a completely unbothered fashion.

  "Now… you can tell us the goal behind you coming over here to 'make friends through your fists'," he said with a drawl.

  His voice was not cold, but very steady. Even if he knew that the group in front of him came from the southwestern countries, he did not show signs of being afraid of their sharp and fierce gazes.

  "Some person you are, Rampaging Dragon…" The gaze of the built and dark man in the lead was dark. He stared into Rampaging Dragon's eyes and enunciated each word clearly. "We're friends from Vietnam and Thailand who have come here to get to know the elites from China.

  "We might have been slightly disrespectful in our actions just now, but we showed propriety when we attacked just now, and we didn't deal any fatal blows. Sir, is this how you repay us?"

  "Hmph!" Rampaging Dragon snorted. "Nonsense!"

  The man did not speak.

  "You didn't explain yourselves and just invaded our branch in front of the world's eyes. Your actions are the same as an invasion, and you even injured our brothers and sisters. Yet you're talking about showing mercy? Let me tell you, if we didn't hold back or one of ours had died, all twenty-four of you could forget about returning alive! Hmph!"

  Silence fell.

  The expressions of the elites from the southwestern countries changed, but those words had a different effect on Mu Clan members After hearing Rampaging Dragon's murderous speech and seeing his stern expression, they became incredibly excited.

  "Well said!"

  "Big Brother Rampaging Dragon, you're right!"

  Even Eleventh Crane, who was on the wall, had an enlightened expression when he heard Rampaging Dragon's righteous and murderous words.

  It was no wonder then why Happy had transferred Rampaging Dragon over from miles away when he heard that a group of elites from the southwestern countries might come over to provoke them.

  Rampaging Dragon had been in contact with the southwestern elites many times and was very experienced in handling matters involving them, so everyone else could relax. Not only did he not let
the enemies take advantage of them, his words and actions boosted Mu Clan's strength and might!

  Once Rampaging Dragon struck at their arrogance, the group of southwestern elites, who were originally very aggressive, lost their hostile attitude and became much more well-behaved.

  "We admit to the things just now, but the reason we came here is to challenge your clan masters Thunderous Battle and Happy."

  They knew that they would not be able to reason with Mu Clan when they were in their territory. Besides, they were in the wrong in the first places, so the leader immediately changed his tone.

  "While we were on our way here, we challenged many of your elites, and now, it's Mu Clan's turn. If they're real martial artists, they will come out and accept the challenge from their international friends! If they do not dare to do so, we will say nothing else and leave immediately." The last sentence was spoken very loudly.

  "Challenge them? With your strength?" Rampaging Dragon cast the person who spoke a glance with a scornful expression on his face. "One of ours has already easily killed seven of yours. There's no need for our clan masters to take action when you only have this much strength. Don't say that we're not being good guests to you, because I'll choose a few random people to be your opponents, and we'll talk if you can win against them."

  World of Martial Artists had a translation system for all countries, and when the group heard Rampaging Dragon's nonchalant answer, they were so angry that they nearly exploded with rage. Then, they saw Rampaging Dragon point at a middle-aged man at the back of the crowd. He had a lackadaisical look on his face while yawning, and they trembled in rage. All they wanted at that moment was to crush Rampaging Dragon to bits with their hands.

  Chapter 633 - One Hundred Moves!

  The built and tanned leader was Abu, a famous underground boxer in Thailand. He had inborn advantage when it came to Arm Strength and Affinity. Since he had been training his fists and legs for a long time, his Arm Strength had reached an astonishing 220, and his Affinity was 219. One iron punch that had no technique whatsoever could deal more than eight thousand damage, and if he attacked with full power, some of the body fortifications of normal Life and Death martial artists had a difficult time withstanding it.

  His name as Thailand's best boxer was well deserved.

  The reason he came over was because of an invitation to challenge Happy's position as the strongest in China. On top of that, since the pay-to-view battle replay system had become popular all over the world, he clearly knew about the profit he might get from winning against Happy.

  Even though the profit he gained from Thailand's boxing studios was pretty good, even if he opened his boxing studio for a hundred years, he would never be able to gain the profit he could get from having one successful and popular battle replay.

  For his challenge, Abu brought his most outstanding disciples from the boxing studio as well as some boxing friends from Vietnam whose strength was about the same as his.

  The people who had been killed earlier were his disciples as well as some of his friends' disciples!

  Even though he felt his heart clench in pain and was seething in rage, it did not affect his priorities.

  When he heard Rampaging Dragon treat him in such a dismissive manner, he quickly placated his men before he answered in a deep voice.

  "Alright! Since you want to brush us off with normal members, then we will fight Mu Clan to the last person! I'd like to see just how many people you can lose."

  The arrogant words made the Mu Clan members livid.

  "You haven't even fought us yet, and you're already spewing so much nonsense." Rampaging Dragon rolled his eyes. He was not provoked at all, and neither did he fall into the trap.

  "They came from far away. Be a gentleman," he said to the person he had chosen for the fight.

  He ordered it in an apparent seriousness, and it caused the people on Abu's side to seethe with anger again. Their eyes filled with red, and they really wanted to tear Rampaging Dragon to shreds.

  All-powerful Medicinal Stone chose to keep a rather low profile and answered with a very troubled expression. "But I don't fight against others often…"

  Silence fell, and Abu nearly fell to his knees in his anger.

  "A'lang, you go!"

  Even though his eldest disciple's Arm Strength had yet to reach the 200s, he had rich experience in fighting, and he had already inherited Abu's brutality in fights. If they used the standards of the Chinese martial artists to measure his power, he could be around the fifties on Dragon Rank.

  There might be quite a number of elites from Mu Clan who were on Dragon Rank, but he had information about everyone, and he did not have any impression about the ugly middle-aged man who did not seem to have woken up completely. He should not be someone who was especially powerful.

  Abu believed that it was Mu Clan's way to test their strength before they sent elites for the subsequent fights. Hence, he decided not to fight at all but instead sent his disciple take his place to deal with the unfamiliar person.

  "Yes, master!"

  Alang was a young, thin, and tanned youngster who had been following Abu the whole time. He had a fiery temper, and he had wanted to charge out to fight against Mu Clan multiple times.

  In the beginning, their people had been shot to death. Then, Rampaging Dragon had repeatedly looked down on them, so he had already acc.u.mulated an endless amount of anger as well as killing intent in his c.h.e.s.t. When he heard his master order him to attack, a savage smile instantly formed on his thin and dark face.

  Abu did not find this strange.

  Thai boxing placed a great emphasis on killing intent. A'lang's killing intent would

  only increase his battle power.

  All-powerful Medicinal Stone said nothing.

  He followed behind A'lang in great resignation, which made it seem like he was an innocent bystander caught up in an unfamiliar situation. He shook his head, but he did not say anything that would diminish his might. He quietly drew his weapon and followed behind A'lang like a slob while looking to be very dissatisfied with his task.

  The Mu Clan members might have known that they had All-powerful Medicinal Stone among them, but they only knew that he was pretty good at thieving and had good lightness skills, but compared to the dangerous-looking man in front of him, he looked like an egg going up against a stone.

  Was Rampaging Dragon's decision really the right one?

  But while they were skeptical, they could not question or refute Rampaging Dragon's decision.

  When they saw All-powerful Medicinal Stone and A'lang, who were two people with completely different temperaments, standing across each other on the training ground, they held their breaths and prepared to watch the battle attentively.

  Even though A'lang wanted to immediately kill his opponent, he forced himself to hold back his urge to attack. Since he was in an official environment, he did not want to give the Mu Clan members a chance to slander his people. He wrapped his fist in his palm and stated his identity in a cold and ghastly manner.

  "A'lang, Thai boxer. Please grant me your instructions."

  All-powerful Medicinal Stone wrapped his fist in his palm as well. "Chinese player, Marvelous-handed Sect."

  "Marvelous-handed Sect?" Abu frowned while standing before him.

  Someone beside him "kindly" explained things to him. "Oh, he's a thief, though you could probably call him a robber as well."

  The person who spoke was Rampaging Dragon. He cast an indifferent glance at Abu and his group, and when he found their faces had turned red with rage, he looked away as if he had not noticed it. He stared at the training ground instead.

  "Since this is a friendly international match, let's stop at an appropriate moment and not go overboard," All-powerful Medicinal Stone suggested.

  When A'lang heard this, his gaze darkened, and he retorted loudly. "This is a fight between martial artists, and only through life and death can we see who is stronger. What's the poi
nt of holding back? If you're a man, you'll fight me to the death!"

  "Then if neither of us dies, what happens? Are we going to keep fighting?" All-powerful Medicinal Stone asked in a very strange tone.

  "Don't worry, if I can't win against you within one hundred moves, I'll willingly admit defeat!" A'lang was feeling a little impatient.

  Once he said those words, Abu suddenly felt that the situation was progressing rather badly for them.

  Right when he was about to interrupt, he heard All-powerful Medicinal Stone answer loudly. "Alright!"

  He suddenly became very high-spirited, and Abu as well as his group felt uneasy, as if they had been tricked.

  Happy and Silver Wolf were protected by a group of Mu Clan members while they stood quietly behind the crowd. They did not show themselves from the start.

  Rampaging Dragon's control over the situation as well as his various methods made Happy and Silver Wolf feel relaxed. When they saw that the group of southwesterners did not manage to swallow their anger and were at a disadvantage in many areas, they gave each other knowing smiles.

  Up until then, the aggressiveness of the southwesterners had been reduced slightly, and as of right then, they had also been successfully provoked. All-powerful Medicinal Stone had even lured his opponent to make a one-hundred move promise. A'lang's arrogance and pride had already guaranteed that he would lose the fight!

  All-powerful Medicinal Stone was skilled in many ingenious lightness skills, and each of them had already reached Grandmaster Realm. With all sorts of lightness skills complementing each other and working together, his proficiency in lightness skills had already reached transcendence.

  His Body Movement had also surpassed two hundred, and it was completely impossible for normal people to catch up to him. It was something in which even Happy had to admit defeat to him.

  Happy and Silver Wolf could already guess the ending to All-powerful Medicinal Stone's fight against a young disciple.

  In fact, Happy could already predict the regretful and angry expression A'lang would have when All-powerful Medicinal Stone dragged out the fight past one hundred moves, and he might even want to slap himself for running his own mouth like that.
