Chapter 1207: Arrival at Yan Town
Boom…
Amidst the rhythmic sound of hooves, a group of men with fierce expressions rode their horses, whips in hand, as the wind howled as they arrived outside a small town.
“Yu…”
At the shout of the lead man, who looked particularly menacing, the group suddenly stopped and halted on a high spot outside the town.
Looking down at the desolate and ruined town below, he said, “Yan Town is right ahead!”
“Everyone, stay alert!”
“The boss said many people in the Central Plains have already heard about us and are coming to stop us! Our mission this time is to ensure that Yan Lang leaves the Central Plains with the Tiger Soul! Listen well! If anyone fails us this time, don’t blame me when the boss blames you!”
The men behind him stood motionless, like a silent squad, but the aura emanating from each of them, along with their icy gazes, was more powerful than any words.
After making eye contact with his men one by one, the lead man let out a satisfied snort through his nose: “Go!!”
He pressed his legs against his horse’s flanks, and like an arrow leaving the bow, he rushed toward the town below. “Kill every last person in that town!”
“Anyway, no one’s defending this town. A group should hold the Temple of War… and keep fighting until they leave the game!”
“Under no circumstances can we let anyone interfere with Yan Lang…”
“Kill!!”
Boom!!!
The sound of hooves echoed.
A hundred or so men, fierce and fierce-looking, stormed into Yan Town.
…
Poor Yan Town had just become a bit livelier due to the arrival of various groups, but that liveliness was instantly shattered.
Boom!!!
As the sound of hooves entered the town, several short, panicked screams quickly arose.
“Ah!”
“Who’s there??”
“…”
It was as if their voices were suddenly choked back.
The intense screams and the continuous noise of hooves quickly drew the attention of the various groups. Many people came out of the dilapidated, earthen houses.
Three Persian experts cursed as they pulled back the curtains to step out, only to be hit in the face by dust from the curtains…
“Damn this shitty place. No wonder no birds come here…”
“Who’s making a racket outside?”
“This…”
When the three of them stepped onto the “street,” they happened to see a strange player clutching his throat, holding a flying knife deeply embedded in his throat, as his body slowly slumped…
“Be careful!”
The three were shocked. Just as they drew their weapons, a silver glow suddenly sliced through the air like a serpent under the scorching sun, swiftly wrapping around one of them’s neck. The other two heard a rustling sound and saw a dark shadow swoop over their companion’s head; his head fell off cleanly. Thud! Blood gushed high into the air. Their faces turned pale instantly! They knew better than anyone the strength of their companion—killing him so easily was definitely beyond an ordinary person’s capability. Disheartened, they turned to flee. Whoosh… The person behind them shook their hand, and the silver thread stretched out instantly, emitting a startling glow as it tightly bound the two! Thud! Thud! Before they could react in panic, the mysterious expert rushed over like lightning. A dagger appeared in their hand seemingly out of nowhere and pierced their chests. The sound of flesh being pierced didn’t change the expression on the expert’s ordinary face at all. As if it were a trivial task, they effortlessly pulled out the dagger, retracted the silver thread, and dashed in another direction. … “Damn it!” “It’s from the Wild Wolves!” “Run!!” Someone in Yan Town finally reacted, recognizing familiar faces. Their pupils constricted, and they ran without hesitation toward an empty area. Crack!!! Just as they flew over the town’s simple streets, a sharp sonic boom and whip crack echoed behind them… The man felt a sudden pull on his feet, stopping his momentum. “Not good!” His expression changed. Before he could look down, a long black whip thrown from the street wrapped around his ankle and yanked him back hard. Bang!! He crashed heavily into the sand, in a miserable state. As he tried to get up, he saw a gleaming long sword and a pair of icy eyes. Then came the sound of his body being pierced and blood gushing out. His consciousness vanished quickly! … “Ah!” Hundreds of experts from the Wild Wolves, each a top-tier fighter, easily dealt with the ordinary martial artists of Yan Town. In less than two minutes, they slaughtered everyone inside and outside Yan Town, taking control of all strategic points and the Martial Temple. … The Martial Temple. A group of people huddled inside, their faces pale, staring at the dozen corpses outside and the several stern-looking men and women across from them. None of them dared step out of the temple.
Among the crowd, a slightly bolder player took a deep breath:
“We, the Wild Wolves, have no grudges against you. Why kill us?”
“That’s right! It’s too much!!”
“Why kill people recklessly!” His words stirred up a storm of outrage, and those in the Martial Temple joined in condemning them, yet still dared not cross the line.
Faced with wave after wave of curses and accusations, the leader on the other side showed a pained expression:
“Are you joking?”
“When does the Wild Wolves organization need reasons or explanations for killing?”
“…”
With just those words, everyone in the Martial Temple fell silent.
“From now on, shut up and listen carefully!” The person who had spoken earlier spoke again, this time in a stricter and more rude tone: “Anyone who steps outside the Martial Temple will be killed!”
“You have the right to test our patience… I guarantee they’ll make you scum like you suffer greatly.” He ended his speech with a cruel and cold smile.
“Hey, come over here. We’ve run into some tough opponents and it’s getting troublesome!” someone called out from afar.
The leader frowned slightly, then gave his companions a look that meant “Leave this to you,” before turning and leaving quickly.
…
At the direction of Yan Town’s city gates, Silver Fox, Knife, Strip, and Thunder each took a position, facing the crowd surrounding them with serious expressions.
Around them lay the bodies of eight Wild Wolves organization experts, still warm, their faces showing disbelief and resentment at death. This was why the group of Wild Wolves experts around them didn’t attack right away!
They could see that although the four in front of them had ordinary equipment, their weapons were good, and their strength was considerable. It seemed they relied on an effective sword formation to greatly enhance their abilities, making each of them far stronger than ordinary opponents.
When the fierce leader of the Wild Wolves organization arrived, he brought over twenty men with him, a formidable force brimming with murderous intent.
Silver Fox and the others frowned slightly:
“Huh, quite a few people have come.”
“Damn it, I really admire the Wild Wolves organization’s style more and more.” Knife spoke loudly with a cold expression, his words laced with obvious mockery.
“Jinxiu Riverland?”
The fierce leader spotted the gang insignia on Silver Fox and the others’ chests and his pupils narrowed slightly. “Where is your leader now?”
“What do you think?”
The four Silver Foxes knew that the group had become wary and suspicious, so they deliberately used a highly biased and misleading tone to deepen their doubts.
Unexpectedly…
After hearing the Silver Foxes’ reply, the group instead calmed down.
“It shouldn’t be in the desert,” said the fierce-looking leader, thinking they were bluffing, and immediately felt relieved.
Someone whispered in the leader’s ear: “These four seem skilled in a powerful sword formation. Soon, Yan Lang and the others will arrive. If we still can’t deal with them by then…”
“Don’t we have another group that knows the Great Banishment Spell? Use it. I want to see whether his sword formation is stronger or our Great Banishment Spell is superior!” The fierce man glared sharply at the four Silver Foxes. “End this quickly.”
As soon as he spoke, the group suddenly retreated!
With the four Silver Foxes’ expressions darkening, nine people stepped forward from the crowd!
“Be careful.”
“It might be the formation used by the Wild Wolf Organization to defeat those experts from the Heavenly Path…” The four Silver Foxes silently warned each other.
Even Happy had said that the Wild Wolf Organization might monopolize a secret formation technique even more powerful than the “Four Ultimate Sword Formations”—a technique capable of countering experts from the Heavenly Path.
Naturally, the four Silver Foxes couldn’t afford to be careless!
But Happy had already gone to search for the Tiger Soul Divine Weapon, giving them orders to hold off and kill as many members of the Wild Wolf Organization as possible.
So, even facing the Great Banishment Spell, they could only grit their teeth and stand their ground!
“Thankfully… it seems there’s only one group…”
“I heard they used many people skilled in formations to defeat those experts from the Heavenly Path. It was a large formation. Maybe… we still have a chance!”
“Stop talking. Form the formation and attack!”
“Attack!!”
The four Silver Foxes took positions and suddenly swung their long swords at the same time…
Whoosh!!!!
The air miraculously resonated, and a clear sword sound filled everyone’s ears…
Four powerful sword auras surged forth from the four Silver Foxes!
On the other side!
The eight experts of the Wild Wolf Organization pushed out their palms simultaneously.
Slap…
Slap slap slap slap…
When the inner strength of the eight poured into the leader’s body, a massive force like a mountain suddenly appeared, competing with the four sword auras.
The two forces collided violently!
The gazes of the crowd instantly turned fierce and full of fighting spirit!!
……
“The boss’s message via carrier pigeon!”
“Read it!”
Xiao Tao Hong said firmly.
Behind the group, Yan Lang had killed two more members and was chasing toward them, getting closer and closer.
“The boss said that our comrades sent to assist us have already arrived in Yan Town to clear the area around it. They’re just waiting for us to go there so they can take over immediately and protect the Tiger Soul Divine Weapon as we leave the Central Plains!”
Xianer frowned and asked, “How far is it from us to Yan Town?”
“At most two li!”
“That’s great! Everyone, speed up! Once we all gather together and safely bring the Tiger Soul to Yan Town and out of the Central Plains, our mission will be complete!”
But then…
At that moment, a scout came back and reported, “There are people ahead!”
