Sword Among Us

“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.

While at the borders, Rampaging Dragon had seen the southwestern players charge into the headquarters and branches of other Chinese sects in high spirits to provoke them. Then, they destroyed those sects and stole their resources. There were many cases in which they acted no different from bandits.

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 group responded loudly!

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.

The people in the area looked at each other at a loss. The group was using a very cheap method of provocation, but it was also very effective.

“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.
