Sword Among Us

Chapter 708: Mysterious Man in Black

Boom! BOOM!

Loud splashes rose around the port. After all, once a heavy weight of nearly five tonnes fell into the water, it was normal for a huge splash taller than thirty feet to rise up.

Splash!

The entire port was instantly covered in water.

Once the mysterious masked man knocked four elite elite cavaliers off their feet, he behaved as if he had done something very insignificant. He never once stopped and faced the second batch of elite cavaliers. He did not care about the waves that came at him from the sides.

He used the splashes that came descending on them as a cover and tapped against the ground before he stuck to them like gum.

Thud!

He stuck his shoulder to a cavalier’s side.

Then, he turned around and positioned his shoulder against the lower portion of the horse’s belly!

The entire motion was done in one go. It looked as if his body had only shuddered a little, but in truth, he used the power that swiftly surged up his body and the ground as the fulcrum. Then, all the energy gathered at his shoulder, and it exploded forth to lift the horse off its feet.

The horse neighed at that moment, and another elite heavy-armored cavalier fell to the side and into the river along with his horse.

While waiting for the splashes to land, the mysterious masked man slid from under the horse to the other side. While avoiding the longswords and crossbow bolts, he used the momentum of his slide to knock over a few people into the water. He did all that in one go.

The mysterious man in black might have seemed to be crashing everywhere while swaying about, but every single time he stopped, his energy exploded outward, and he would knock over at least one person in the process.

In the blink of an eye, all the firepower at the port was directed at the mysterious man in black. The people from Class One Hall and Towering Palace hid behind the treasure chests while stunned by the sight before them.

The mysterious man in black’s actions had not only violently shocked countless players beyond the port, even the aces from the two top-class sects sucked in sharp breaths. When they looked at the mysterious man in black’s back, their gazes were solemn and wary.

“Monk, let’s fight together!”

Blood Robes gritted his teeth and shot out from behind a cart with two wheels.

He did not wish for the unknown player to snatch all the glory.

If that happened, they would lose some of their right for seizing the treasure chests!

However, right when they arrived behind the mysterious man in black and Blood Robes struck the closest elite heavy-armored cavalier with a palm strike, that cavalier only staggered a little on his mount’s back and instantly recovered. He flicked his wrist, and his longspear came thrusting forward like lightning.

Blood Robes said nothing. He only frowned.

He did not expect that the full-powered strike in Inaction Realm would not have any effect, but he instantly came to a realization. He knew that it was definitely because of the strange heavy armor. It could absorb and negate most of the damage from any attack.

If it were a one against one, it would not be hard for him to whittle away the life of an elite heavy-armored cavalier, but in this sort of situation, he had to end the fight as quickly as possible.

Blood Robes had no other choice. He could only seize a chance to parry the longspear and rush forward with short and swift steps. He intended to use the same method to deal with the heavy-armored cavaliers!

“HAH!”

When he arrived at the side of an elite heavy-armored cavalier, a longspear came at him. Blood Robes was shocked, and he could not parry it in time. He could only use brute force to charge forward.

The horse neighed and took two steps back. Its hooves coincidentally moved off the edge, and its body swayed to the side. It fell to the side along with its rider.

‘He did it!’

Blood Robes managed to do what the mysterious person did.

The mighty and domineering sight raised spirits of Class One Hall elites beyond the port, and their morale surged.

But they did not notice that once Blood Robes finished that series of actions, a clear flush appeared on his face. He was scowling, which showed that he found moving strenuous at that moment.

The power that came rebounding back at him from the elite heavy-armored cavaliers made him take a step back.

Even though it was just a small setback and pause, he was clearly much more inferior compared to the mysterious masked man in black, who managed to do everything in one breath and without stopping.

Besides, Blood Robes could sense that if it were not because of the person attracting most of the firepower on himself, the brief pause would have sent him into a rather dangerous situation.

Monk with Thick Eyebrows was rather unfortunate on the other side.

He had attacked for the second time, but he still ended in failure!

Even though he tried to lift the cavalier with his shoulder, he did not manage to force the elite off the port. Instead, a sword cut down on his shoulder. The huge force of it drew blood, and he was only saved by Dream Clouds, who came to receive him.

The port was very narrow, after all.

The number of people who could be accommodated was very limited once the mysterious person in black was ahead of them. The elites of Towering Palace lagged behind them and enjoyed having free time to themselves.

But they also noticed the difference between Blood Robes, Monk with Thick Eyebrows, and the mysterious man in black!

Most of the great players from Towering Palace were people who used sabers and swords, and they were not very skilled in pure fist fights where those involved had to be very close to each other. When they saw that even Blood Robes only had a lucky shot, they immediately understood the difficulty of the task, and in a great show of cooperation, they did not continue forward. Instead, they cast their gazes on the heavy-armored soldiers who were on the transportation boats behind the cavaliers.

The mysterious masked man in black did not seem to care that he was actually helping others get those treasure chests. He just pushed forward madly. In less than two minutes, at least forty elite heavy-armored cavaliers were knocked into the river, and they struggled continuously inside.

They lost one fifth of their fighting power, and the formation outside the port finally showed weakness in the form of their members being reduced!

The elites from Class One Hall and Towering Palace rushed forward once more!

Both sides were quickly engaged in a bloody conflict.

There were too many people who were compromised. The elite heavy-armored cavaliers’ fighting prowess was largely reduced. Even though they could still kill with their formation, a few battle areas had been slowly divided.

“The elite heavy-armored cavaliers are done. Should we go over?”

People from different factions of power had gathered beyond the port, and they were a little restless.

But the two monsters from Class One Hall and Towering Palace were personally there to serve as garrisons, and they could still intimidate many people, and that included Phantasmal Shadow of Wind Assault Tower. At that moment, they did not dare to act recklessly.

Instead, they paid attention to the movements of the mysterious masked man in black.

Even though he displayed extraordinary strength and skill that made the people’s eyes light up, but two top-class sects had joined the battle, so the advantage of his strength instantly became insignificant.

Everyone began guessing just how Class One Hall’s Dream Clouds and Towering Palace’s Musical Note would treat the mysterious masked man in black who broke the stalemate.

“Friend, you have great skills. I wonder if you can tell us your name. I am Class One Hall’s Dream Clouds!”

When Dream Clouds saw the mysterious man in black turn around, her eyes lit up. She quickly reacted to the situation and brought a few people forward.

The mysterious man in black stopped and cast a glance at Dream Clouds as well as the others, but he did not respond to her.

“Hehe, it seems that I have been rude. Since you came here with your face covered, you must not want anyone to know your personal information. However, it’s all thanks to you that we managed to break the stalemate in the matter regarding Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse. You can have a portion of the items here. I believe that Palace Master Music of Towering Palace will not object to it.”

“That’s only natural.” Musical Note came over as well.

Even though she was late by a step, she did not want to leave behind a bad impression in the elite’s heart. Ever since the day Happy came to Yangzhou for the first time, the sisters had gained a clearer understanding about a top-class elite’s threat and help to a sect.

“My dear friend, you have provided great help to us. I wonder if you have any plans for the distribution of loot.”

Once she finished speaking, the mysterious masked man in black finally spoke. “Those who are strong can have Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse. If you want it, you can have it. All you need to do is defeat me and take it!”

His hoarse voice was filled with an arrogant tone that said he looked down on everyone.
