Chapter 527: The Emperor Appears, Fighting the Silver Fox
On the streets east of the Heroes’ Villa, a tall and robust man stood proudly on the arena stage. Seven experts from various renowned factions had already fallen at his hands. With a rugged face and a half-destroyed silver mask that shone dazzlingly in the sunlight, he exuded an aura of strength.
Below the arena…
The challengers who had come to register temporarily stopped ascending the stage. Holding their hard-earned challenge tokens, they stood below with complex expressions—the fame of the Silver-Faced Marquis was well-known.
His masterful “Red Flame Palm” was beyond the reach of ordinary players. At the master level, once close combat began, the enemy’s internal energy would be continuously drained. Even many skilled martial artists could barely withstand more than thirty moves against the Silver Fox…
In just a short time, he had made it to the fourth arena on the Arena Road. Just a few steps further lay the Dragon and Tiger Arena, located at the heart of the Heroes’ Villa—a place where countless famous martial artists showcased their skills! A sacred ground that every player dreamed of visiting to fight against top martial artists and sect leaders.
For the first time since entering the world of “Jianghu,” the Silver Fox longed so deeply for a place. The thought of facing numerous martial artists and powerful sect leaders filled his eyes with fervent excitement. He stretched his body, his golden finger gauntlets emitting a striking metallic glow.
Grade 4 Golden Finger Gauntlets!
Beyond his joy, he was the only person in the Mu family recognized by Tie Wuxin and helped by him to forge these highly difficult Grade 4 gauntlets.
In just a few months, the Silver Fox himself found it hard to believe that he had gone from being an unknown man struggling to pay for his sister’s medical bills to owning a complete set of Grade 4 golden gear worth nearly hundreds of millions.
It all…
Came from that amazing sophomore—a seemingly small-minded student with an unbelievably broad heart, his little boss.
“…”
A faint smile appeared on the Silver Fox’s lips, terrifying those below who wondered if the boy had gone mad.
“Call the next one.”
Ignoring the complex gazes fixed on him, he glanced lightly at the referee below.
He was eager to prove his strength, enter the Dragon and Tiger Arena, and make his name “Red Flame Silver Fox” resound throughout the martial world!
The referee, filled with emotion, took his gaze off the man who could barely move at the Silver Fox’s feet. He ordered someone to carry the loser off the arena and glanced down at the challenge list in his hands.
“The next one…”
Before his words faded, a sharp sound of something cutting through the air came from above.
A hint of wariness flashed in the yellow-clothed man’s eyes. He raised his left hand and effortlessly caught the object approaching. When he opened his palm, two characters were visible:
“One Emperor!”
His pupils contracted slightly.
The yellow-clothed man took a deep breath and stared solemnly at the platform.
There, on the platform, stood a man dressed in black-trimmed brocade robes, imposing and seemingly having been there all along, facing Silver Fox. His face showed no expression, only a faint hint of interest.
“You must be Silver Fox, Happy’s top subordinate.”
“That’s right. He’s my boss.” From the moment this stranger appeared, Silver Fox sensed an unprecedented sense of urgency and danger, and alarms rang in his heart.
His entire body tensed instantly! An aura of seriousness, unlike anything he had shown in battles, along with a beast-like presence, surged from him!
“Interesting.”
“One Emperor” was surprised at first, then revealed a look of great astonishment and delight: “Among the opponents chosen today, you’re the most interesting… You should be able to take a few of my moves.”
Hearing such bold claims, wariness flashed in Silver Fox’s eyes as he said, “One Emperor?”
“That’s correct.”
“One Emperor’s” confirmation caused a stir among the crowd. Players in the crowd showed shock and excitement—no one had ever seen “One Emperor” fight in person, and they had no idea what kind of strength this legendary figure possessed. How could they miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
At that moment, everyone activated their recording systems, aiming them like searchlights at the arena…
Silver Fox vs. One Emperor!
A must-see spectacle.
Many even thought of themes for uploading their REP videos, convinced such a name would stand out.
At that time, more people crowded in from behind the crowd… Some even flew in from the rooftops, perching high up, looking extremely thrilled.
“He’s here again!”
“Haha, which match is this already? I’m sure I’m going to make a fortune. If I make an album and sell it through the paid system, I don’t know how much I can make. You’re in this business too, huh?” Most of those who followed were less well-known players. Seeing that many others had already taken good vantage points, they sighed in admiration.
Suddenly realizing a large number of players were flocking in, many were surprised:
“You… followed ‘One Emperor’ here?”
“Obviously!” someone replied. “What, aren’t you? You can’t possibly not know what’s going on over there, can you?”
“What’s the matter?”
“Four streets. ‘The Emperor’ has taken care of two of them. Lin Xiao from the Heroism Gate, Hong Chen, Lu Mingyue from the Cold Moon Palace, and the Asura Marquis ‘Asura in the Rainy Night’—these famous masters in the martial world. ‘The Emperor’ has met with each of them one by one. Aside from the ones I mentioned, none of the others could even block ‘The Emperor’s’ first sword strike… Tsk tsk! Even Lin Xiao from the Heroism Gate, known for his loyalty, only managed to block the third sword strike and almost had his chest pierced.”
“What!”
“Don’t doubt it. I’ll compile all these videos later. Remember to search for my name—you’ll get your fill! Hehe!” The man started promoting himself, left his business card, then focused his attention on Silver Fox and ‘The Emperor’ in the arena.
“I mean, is ‘The Emperor’ really that powerful?”
“Of course. So far, no one has forced ‘The Emperor’ to use his fourth sword strike. He even declared that whoever can withstand it will get to choose any one of three things he possesses!”
“A reward for blocking his attacks? What are they?” Many people asked from the audience.
“A Life and Death Dream Pill… a divine weapon, ‘Mo Ye’… and a secret manual of an ultimate martial art!”
Like a typhoon of level twelve, the arena erupted in chaos. Countless people were stunned by ‘The Emperor’s’ boldness and arrogance.
But soon, the arena fell silent!
Silver Fox!
Realizing he was facing ‘The Emperor’, his gaze became solemn; he dared not slack off. Equipped with golden components of the 4th tier, his luxurious golden set left everyone breathless. At the same time, they could sense a fierce and resolute will from Silver Fox—to give it his all!
