Chapter 709: Elder Murong the Supreme

As these words were spoken, the dock fell instantly silent!
Outside the dock, battles raged on, so those outside had no idea what was being discussed there…
They were even less aware that due to the words of the mysterious masked man in black, an extremely tense and serious atmosphere enveloped the entire dock.
Not only did Meng Yun, Xue Yi, the Monk with Thick brows, and the others look extremely displeased, but even the people from Lingxiao Palace exchanged shocked glances.
Someone actually dared to single-handedly challenge two top gangs…
“Sir, are you joking?”
“You, alone, want to challenge us all?” Meng Yun doubted he had heard correctly, frowning as he stared into the masked man’s eyes, trying to see through him.
The others also glared at the masked man unfriendlyly.
Although he displayed considerable strength, everyone here were top experts from the Dragon and Phoenix Lists. Even if Happy or the Emperor were here, they wouldn’t dare speak such arrogantly.
Yet…
The mysterious masked man seemed utterly indifferent to the pride of the experts from Yipin Hall and Lingxiao Palace. With a cold snort, he turned and said, “With your strength, you’re not even worthy of the treasures in Master Yang’s vault.” Without paying attention to the stares of the crowd, he turned and headed toward the freight ship outside the dock.
Bang!
As he passed by a cart, he kicked it forcefully, causing it to roll into the freight ship. Four treasure chests broke free from their chains and tumbled onto the deck…
“You…”
“What audacity! I, Evil Wolf, must see just what gives you the right to be so arrogant.” The person behind him was furious. Evil Wolf sneered, drew his twin swords emitting colored lights, swung them back and forth, and sent two streams of light shooting out silently.
The mysterious masked man seemed to have eyes at the back of his head. Almost simultaneously with Evil Wolf drawing his weapons, he hooked one of the cart’s wheels with his foot.
Whoa!!!
With a loud shout, the cart, weighing hundreds of pounds, was lifted forcefully and crashed down onto the group on the dock with a thunderous sound.
Not only Evil Wolf but also the experts from Yipin Hall and Lingxiao Palace were caught in the blast.
The expressions of everyone changed drastically!
The moment the two flying swords cut into the cart, they scattered in all directions.
Boom!!!
The massive cart crashed into the battlefield outside the dock with tremendous force, killing and injuring many on the spot…
“It really happened!”
“That girl has such strength! It seems her arm strength must be over 250!!”
The experts from Xifeng Tower exclaimed in shock, with a hint of schadenfreude on their faces.

I had been worried that the mysterious man in black would divide the loot with Yipin Tang and Lingxiao Palace, but it seems the distribution was unfair, sparking his anger.
“Haha!”
“Fighting has started! Tsk tsk!”
“Is that guy a player or an NPC? He’s too insane.”
“The people from Yipin Tang are no match at all.”
In another direction, experts from various factions gathered closely, staring intently at the chaotic scene on the dock, filled with excitement.
On the dock…
Monk with Thick brows and another expert from Yipin Tang joined the fight.
The mysterious man in black dodged the attacks from Evil Wolf and Monk with Thick brows in an instant, then spun around and kicked from an unbelievable angle, sending that expert from Yipin Tang, ranked in the top 40 of the Dragon List, flying back with blood spewing from his mouth.
At the same time, he used the momentum to retreat, narrowly avoiding Blood-Clothed’s “Reversed Cosmos” absorption technique.
Every move he made, along with his mastery of the battlefield and everything around him, was at a masterful level!
After just a brief encounter, the difference in skill was obvious.
“Who the hell are you?”
Meng Yun was furious, yet unable to hide the shock in her eyes.
Evil Wolf, Monk with Thick brows, along with Blood-Clothed and Tear Bamboo—four of them attacking yet still being defeated, with one of them injured—showed her how powerful the masked mysterious man really was, filling her with a strong sense of crisis.
She no longer dared to treat him as an ordinary figure.
“It doesn’t matter who I am. Hmph, so-called experts from the Dragon List are just this good… The top experts from the four major gangs in legends have such limited skills…”
His hoarse voice carried an air of extreme pride and arrogance.
The mysterious man crossed his arms in front of his chest and gave Meng Yun a subtle glance before shifting his attention to the two people beside Qin Yun:
“Li Qing, you seem to be the fourth-ranked expert on the Dragon List. And you, Haotian… The people from Yipin Tang aren’t very good, but I heard you two are skilled with swords. Since we’ve run into each other today, let’s have a fight!”
“…”
Hearing this, Li Qing and Haotian exchanged glances involuntarily, both seeing seriousness in each other’s eyes.
If it weren’t for what had happened earlier, they might have laughed at or rejected his bold proposal. But just now, his control over strength, mastery of the situation, and his techniques all seemed honed to perfection, putting immense pressure on them and even making them doubt if he wasn’t the number one on the Dragon List.
“Since that’s the case…”
“Please teach us.”
For the treasures of Yang Gong’s Treasure House, the two agreed to his challenge at the same time.

The people from Yipintang were mocked by the men in black, but instead of reacting on the spot, they quietly stepped back, giving the three of them space on the battlefield…
While everyone inside and outside the dock was focused on the developments on the dock, no one noticed that a small boat had appeared in the middle of the river at some point, slowly approaching the shore.
…
“I say, masters, there’s so much stuff in Lord Yang’s treasure vault. Asking me to move it all by myself is way too much. How can I possibly handle it alone?”
Kai Xin stood at the bow of the small boat, his face filled with frustration and helplessness.
He had been having a good conversation with Shi Qingxuan on the pleasure boat, but then the three masters showed up, took him to this damned boat, and ordered him to steal supplies from the Marshal’s army.
“Hmph! So many excuses! If we can’t let you young people do this, do you expect us old men to do it? All you need to do is seize the boat and sink it near that island in the river to complete the task,” came an aged voice from inside the boat.
Kai Xin smiled bitterly:
“Masters, you really overestimate me. I can’t possibly go alone and attack the Marshal’s heavy cavalry. I’m not crazy—Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, and their advisors will tear me apart.”
“Don’t worry. These supplies are just a decoy. Most of them have already been secretly moved away. So, there won’t be any of those people there.”
“Since it’s just a small portion, why do we even have to go there…” Kai Xin was extremely reluctant to fight against a regular army, let alone their most formidable unit—the heavy cavalry.
“Stop talking nonsense! Even a small part of Lord Yang’s treasure vault is priceless and extremely important to our Murong family! We must succeed!” The voice from inside the boat was firm and unyielding.
