Sword Among Us

Chapter 711: Angry Man in Black

The second masked man in black despicable act attracted the attention of all the people at the port, and the tense as well as frozen atmosphere from the group instantly became much fainter.

They originally thought that the man in black was not related to the second man in black, but the actions from the second man in black caused the people from the two top-class sects to show puzzlement.

But the mysterious masked man in black’s actions got rid of their suspicions again.

“What are you doing?!”

There was slight displeasure on the masked man in black’s face. He stared at the person who was dressed in the same way as he was, and there was a slight frown on his face. He seemed to have noticed something from the second man in black’s actions, which did not show any hesitation, and he had not even bothered to hide it.

Class One Hall and Towering Palace’s elites stood at the port, and there was someone who had dared to untie the hawser right in front of their eyes. That person was either a madman, or was highly skilled, which was why he was bold, just like the first man in black.

But could it be possible?

The mysterious man in black’s shout did not cause the second man in black to be regretful or notice that his actions were wrong. He did not show any panic from being discovered either.

“Please continue, don’t mind me.”

The second man in black had an expression that said, “You don’t need to treat me like a guest or anything, do whatever you were doing.” And that expression was incredibly ludicrous in this sort of situation. But the mysterious masked man in black did not wish for his might to be destroyed.

He did not say anything.

He tapped against the ground, hooked on something, and flung it out.

A broken blade on the ground instantly turned into a flowing light that shot toward the man in black who was untying rounds of hawser.

“ACK!”

No one knew whether the man in black had slipped on water or whether it was because of something else, but he staggered in a very realistic manner and coincidentally avoided that lightning fast thrust! And as luck would have it, that broken blade cut the hawser before it shot into the floor of the port.

The mysterious man in black said nothing. He watched the cut hawser the man in black held.

The people from Class One Hall and Towering Palace also twitched a little.

‘Is it a coincidence?’

The mysterious man in black frowned and stared at the second man in black.

But they did not expect that the second man in black will speak up to break the tense situation beforehand. He lifted the cut hawser in his hand and laughed. “Haha! Look at me, I’m so stupid! Why should I untie it, I could have just used my saber to cut it! This is so bothersome... Haha! Thanks, mate!”

Changing his voice was child’s play to Happy, otherwise, if he had used his original voice, the people from Class One Hall and Towering Palace would have run a long time ago.

The mysterious man in black returned calm after a brief shock. His tone was indifferent. “Let go of the hawser. You can still make it if you leave now.”

The killing intent in his words was already very clear and obvious, and his patience was gradually disappearing.

The man in black made a great show of being cooperative and put down the hawser, but he did not care about the threat from the speaker. Instead, he walked to the transportation boat.

This time, he finally angered the mysterious man in black completely.

He suddenly moved, rushed near a cart with short and swift footsteps, and rammed his shoulder against it!

Boom!

The cart was instantly thrown high into the sky and went charging at Happy like a cannonball while he walked to the transportation boat!

“Don’t!”

This move had not only shocked Happy, but also terrified those from Class One Hall and Towering Palace behind them. They cried out in surprise.

“Don’t destroy the boat!”

The transportation boat was right behind the man in black. If the man in black avoided the cart, the remaining force in the cart might destroy the transportation boat straight away and cause the dozen or so treasure chests to sink into the bottom of the river.

But it was already too late for them to take any action. The mysterious man in black acted too quickly, and in a moment, the cart had already charged over violently.

The group of people beyond the port were also a little surprised!

“He’s not Happy,” Phantasmal Shadow suddenly said these words after she sucked in a sharp breath.

Wu Kuo and the others were stunned. “What?”

*****

When he faced the cart that came charging at him, Happy instantly scowled.

One of the reasons was because he was stunned by the power that this person could instantly bring out, so much so that he could actually throw up a cart that weighed hundreds of pounds, thereby allowing him to have astonishing damage in his attacks.

What was the most shocking was that the instantaneous but ingenious method of exerting force was definitely not something a normal person could do.

The second reason was because that person did not care about the safety of the transportation boat behind Happy, which made him a little gloomy.

The treasure chests on the boat were worth sixteen million taels of silver, along with sixteen demon vessels. He shouldn’t have been so willing to attack it, right?

But even though the person was willing to attack the transportation boat, Happy was reluctant to have the transportation boat be destroyed because of him.

Even though there were still four of those transportation boats, they were still money!

Wasting resources was not a good habit!

Everything might have seemed to have happened over a long period of time, but it was over in an instant.

He frowned, and a gentle force instantly spread out of his body. He faced the cart that came charging at him like lightning, and a gentle power intercepted the cart in the air.

The cart seemed to have its direction forcefully changed by an invisible hand. Then, it went flying back at the mysterious man in black without having any of its power reduced even in the slightest.

This scene did not cause the mysterious man in black, who attacked first, to have shock appear in his eyes, even the two groups of people behind the port also sucked in sharp breaths when they saw the scene of the cart changing direction. They avoided the area.

Even though the mysterious man in black was very ingenious when he used his strength, it was clear that even he did not dare face these attacks head on.

He tapped against the ground.

Whoosh!

Right when he jumped a little to avoid the cart, a loud bang rose, and the cart crashed violently into the port before it rolled more than sixty-five feet out with rumbling sounds.

The mysterious man in black said nothing. He returned to his original position, and when he looked at the second man in black, he no longer looked down on him like before. There was even a slight bit of solemnity on his face while he sized up the man who was dressed in the same way as he was again.

Thud! Thud!

The people from Class One Hall returned to their original spots with solemn expressions, and they, too, stared at the second masked man in black with shock and bewilderment while they guessed his identity.

Today was really strange for them.

They ran into two men in black who were not willing to show their faces back to back.

Besides, these two were both top-class fighters with extraordinary skills.

If it were any usual day, Dream Clouds will think of all methods to get close to them and get their contact information so that she could do everything she could to draw them to her hall.

But this was Yangzhou!

And the two men in black’s goal seemed to be the treasure chests from Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse.

“I see, so you’re someone powerful as well. It’s no wonder why you look down on me.” The mysterious man in black stared at the person who seemed to be a copy of him coldly.

“What is your name, sir? With your strength, you shouldn’t be someone unknown in the game.”

“I’ll only take one boat’s worth of chests. You can divide the rest of it on your own. I don’t want to be involved in your mess.” Due to the fact that he could not reveal his identity, Happy could only endure the pain of giving up the other four transportation boats.

But the mysterious man in black only chuckled softly. “I’ll say the same thing as I just did. If you can defeat me, you can take all the things here.”

“...I only want one boat.”

“If you win against me, I won’t even take a single boat. I’ll even fight against those people for you.” The mysterious man in black acted as if he did not hear what Happy said and just stared at him with burning eyes.

Happy sighed in his heart.

‘I didn’t expect that I’d run into a martial arts maniac!

‘Oh well, sparring a little is nothing. I found a rather decent Moksha Realm sword technique from Mu Clan’s storage lately, and I might be able to test out its might against this person.

‘But since I can’t reveal my identity, that’s a little more troublesome.’
