Chapter 711: The Angered Man in Black

The cautious movements of the second masked man who arrived caught the attention of everyone on the dock, greatly easing the tense atmosphere among the crowd.
It was originally thought the man in black had nothing to do with the first one, but the second man’s actions now made members of both top gangs suspicious.
However…
The mysterious masked man’s behavior dispelled their doubts once again.
“What are you doing!”
The masked man’s expression turned slightly displeased as he stared at the man wearing a similar outfit, frowning slightly. It seemed he had noticed something from the latter’s straightforward and unhesitant actions.
There were experts from the Yipin Hall and Lingxiao Palace standing on the dock. Anyone who dared untie the ropes right under their noses must be either crazy or extremely bold, just like him.
But…
Was that possible?
The mysterious man’s outburst didn’t cause the second man in black to feel ashamed or self-conscious, nor did it show any sign of panic at being discovered.
“Go on with what you’re doing. Ignore me.”
The man in black acted as if to say, “No need to bother me—go ahead with your own business.” It was rather ridiculous in such a situation, but the mysterious man didn’t want his authority to be undermined.
“…”
With a step, a hook, and a swing, a broken blade on the ground instantly turned into a streak of light and shot toward the man in black who was untying the ropes.
“Ah!”
The man in black stumbled realistically, either due to slipping or some other reason, just in time to avoid the fierce attack! Coincidentally, the broken blade split the rope in half before plunging deep into the dock’s surface.
“…”
Seeing the broken rope in the man’s hand, the members of the Yipin Hall and Lingxiao Palace twitched slightly—was it coincidence?
The mysterious man frowned and stared at the second man in black.
Unexpectedly, the latter broke the silence by speaking up, holding up the broken rope and laughing, “Haha, look at how stupid I am! Why untie it when I can just cut it with a knife? What a waste of time, haha… Thank you, thank you!”
Changing his voice was a piece of cake for him. Otherwise, if he had used his original accent, the members of the Yipin Hall and Lingxiao Palace would have run away long ago.
The mysterious man regained his composure from his brief shock and spoke indifferently, “Put down the rope. Leave now—there’s still time.” The murderous intent in his words was now unmistakable; it seemed his patience was running out.
The man in black obediently put down the rope but ignored the threats from the speaker and continued walking toward the freight ship on his own.

This time, the mysterious man in black was finally fully enraged. He suddenly moved, darting over to a cart and pushing it with his shoulder—bang! With a loud crash, the cart was thrown high into the air and slammed toward the transport ship like a cannonball. “No!” This move not only shocked Happy but also startled everyone from the Yipin Hall and Lingxiao Palace behind him, who cried out in alarm, “Be careful! It might destroy the ship!” The transport ship was right behind the man in black; if not avoided, its remaining momentum could destroy the ship and sink more than a dozen treasure chests to the bottom of the river. But it was too late for them to intervene—the mysterious man in black moved too fast. In an instant, the cart had already crashed into it. Outside the dock, the crowd was also quite astonished. “He’s not Happy,” Phantom murmured, gasping suddenly. Wu Kuo and the others were stunned. “What?” … Faced with the speeding cart, the man in black, Happy, immediately frowned. First, he was shocked by the opponent’s sudden burst of strength—capable of lifting a cart weighing hundreds of pounds and exerting terrifying destructive power. What was even more astonishing was the skillful way he applied force, something no ordinary person could achieve. Second, he was puzzled by the opponent’s disregard for the safety of the transport ship behind him. The ship contained treasure chests worth 16 million taels of silver, along with sixteen magical weapons. Could this guy really be that ruthless? While the opponent might be willing to go that far, Happy couldn’t bear to let the transport ship be destroyed because of him… Even though there were four more transport ships, they were still worth a fortune! Wasting resources wasn’t a good habit! In the blink of an eye, he frowned and emitted a gentle force from his body. Against the roaring cart, this soft force stopped it mid-air. The cart seemed to be turned around by an invisible giant hand, then crashed back at the mysterious man in black with full force. At this sight… not only did the mysterious man in black, who had taken the first move, show shock in his eyes, but the two groups behind the dock also gasped and stepped back after seeing the cart change direction. Although the mysterious man in black used his power skillfully, he clearly couldn’t withstand such an attack head-on… With a quick step, whoosh! Just as he dodged, there was a loud crash as the cart tumbled onto the dock and rolled more than twenty meters away. “…”

When the mysterious man in black returned to his original position, his gaze toward the second man in black was no longer filled with contempt; instead, a hint of seriousness appeared on his face as he examined the man who wore the same outfit as him from head to toe.
Thud! Thud!
The members of Yipin Tang and Lingxiao Palace also returned to their positions with solemn expressions, staring at the second masked man in black in confusion, trying to figure out his identity.
Today was truly strange…
They had encountered two men in black who refused to reveal their true faces, both of them top-notch fighters with remarkable skills!
Under normal circumstances, Mengyun would have done everything possible to get close to them, trying to establish contact and win them over…
But this was Yangzhou!
And it seemed both men in black were after the treasure chests in Yang Gong’s treasure house.
“So he’s an expert. No wonder he doesn’t take me seriously.”
The mysterious man in black stared coldly at the man across from him, who seemed to be cut from the same mold:
“I wonder what your name is. With such strength, you must be someone well-known in the martial world.”
“I only need one shipload of the chests here. You can divide the rest among yourselves. I don’t want to get involved.” Due to the need to keep his identity hidden, Kai Xin had to reluctantly give up four more transport ships.
Yet the mysterious man in black simply smiled lightly:
“I still say the same thing—if you can defeat me, you may take everything here!”
“…I only need one shipload.”
“If you beat me, I won’t even take one shipload. I’ll even help you deal with those people.” The mysterious man in black acted as if he hadn’t heard, his gaze fixed intently on Kai Xin.
Kai Xin sighed inwardly.
Who would have thought he’d run into a martial arts fanatic!!
Well, it didn’t matter to fight. He had found a decent Sword Technique at Mu Family’s warehouse some time ago; perhaps he could use it to test his skills against this guy.
But it seemed he couldn’t reveal his identity, which was quite troublesome.
