Sword Among Us
Chapter 98 - Quicksword Xiao Shan
Panda Novel
Under the gazes of the sect members of Mountain Range Sect, Heartless Man took two steps forward with a dark expression. He stared at the cold man who stood arrogantly thirty-two feet away.
“Sir, you invaded Mountain Range Sect’s temporary encampment, killed dozens of my sect members and one hall chief, so don’t you want us to remember your name?”
“Xiao Shan!”
The cold man’s expression did not change. Even if he faced around twenty Blessed Realm players from Mountain Range Sect, he still did not show a hint of fear. He was so calm and indifferent that he did not look like a human.
“Xiao Shan, what a man you are.”
Heartless Man acted incredibly calm. After all, he was not a useless person. He WAS the man who had become the sect master of Mountain Range Sect, suppressed and controlled two other sects, and even gathered them all by his side.
His sagacious nature and abilities were famous in Xuzhou.
Sect Master Heartless Man had not only shown outstanding planning when he merged the three sects into one, his methods were also able to suppress and control the two current vice sect masters! His act of setting up their encampment and all the subsequent plans for their operations was through great consideration and ample preparation. The area around the fortress was filled with obvious and hidden sentries from Mountain Range Sect. There were layers of defenses placed in the stronghold, and while he did not dare claim that they had iron defense, it was definitely tight.
Also, there were more than one hundred archers stationed around the fortress. Forget a powerful Blessed Realm player attacking them, even if they faced a strong attack from an entire sect, they might not be able to break down the gate without alerting the higher ups of Mountain Range Sect and slaughtering their way until they reached where Xiao Shan currently was.
Xiao Shan’s abilities could only be described as astonishing!
Hence, when he saw the scene before him, Heartless Man knew that Xiao Shan came with ill intentions, and he began making calculations.
He waved his hand and dismissed the archers who had appeared silently around the area. Heartless Man slowed down his talking speed and said with abnormal calm, “Deer Swordsman is a sect elder in our sect. If he has done something wrong and offended you, then this humble person will apologize on his behalf. But before you attack, could you tell us your reason so that we know what is going on?”
“Sect master!”
Deer Swordsman seemed to have remembered something. Right when he wanted to speak, Heartless Man raised his hand and stopped him. He still had that indifferent look on his face while staring at Xiao Shan.
The other people also had their gazes trained on him at that moment!
Xiao Shan turned his head away and cast a glance at the Mountain Range Sect members in the archer towers. He let out a barely audible snort. “Three people were killed by Sect Elder Deer Swordsman on the Horse on Road Bridge in Lightning Will Mountain. They were all my junior brothers and sisters…”
Heartless Man said nothing and just frowned.
Deer Swordsman took the opportune moment to explain himself. “I did indeed take on the task over there and attacked the carriage carrying the tribute, but he wasn’t inside.”
“Your people acted very quickly. I was scouting the road in front. When I returned, the tribute was gone, and my party had died. I chased after your tracks until I reached Xuzhou where I learned of the news of your sect moving into the mountains so…” When he said this, Xiao Shan slowly drew out the iron sword that seemed as if it did not even have a hilt, and he pointed it at Deer Swordsman, who stood in the crowd. “I am here to collect a debt.”
“Hmph! That’ll depend on whether you have the ability to collect it!”
A man moved out of the crowd. Before Heartless Man could even give him an order, he already jumped down.
“Stop!” Heartless Man’s expression changed drastically. He quickly cried out for him to stop and demanded from Xiao Shan, “I have nothing to say, since we killed them. How do you intend to collect the debt?”
“Simple.” Xiao Shan ignored the Blessed Realm player glaring at him. His voice was as indifferent, cold, and light as ever. “Have the murderers stand out, and all of them must die under my sword thrice.”
When he finished speaking, the expressions of the people in Mountain Range Sect changed!
The hall chief who was the closest to Xiao Shan looked like he had heard the most ludicrous joke in history. He laughed long and hard before he said, “What a load of bull! Kill them thrice? Fine! I joined the operation at that time as well. If you have the ability to do so— Arg!”
Before he even finished speaking, Xiao Shan had already drawn his sword back. There was a trace of blood on his hiltless iron sword. One drop, two drops…
Thud!
Heartless Man only noticed that the hall leader had his throat slit and died with his eyes open when the man fell to the ground. Even though the distance between them was around seven feet, no one had seen how Xiao Shan had approached or attacked him just then.
But Xiao Shan looked as if he had done something very insignificant.
He cast an indifferent glance at the corpse on the ground.
“You still have two times.”
With that attack, not only were the Mountain Range Sect members agitated, even Heartless Man, who had the intention to mend the rift, knew that there was no way they could have this end on a peaceful note. He scowled, and his gaze swiftly turned cold. He swung his hand resolutely.
“Fire!”
Whoosh!
The archers, who had only been waiting for the command, lifted their bows without hesitation!
Countless arrows shot out like a locust swarm. Their target was Xiao Shan, who stood alone in the middle of the emptied ground…
“That’s all there is to you.”
He raised his leg, and two of the corpses under his feet suddenly rose from the ground to block his sides. They were instantly turned into porcupines shot full of arrows.
Once the volley of arrows passed, the two corpses were shoved with force at the archers, and Xiao Shan vanished from between the two porcupines!
“Above!”
The light above their heads dimmed, and quickly, someone shouted a warning.
The glares from swords and shadows from sabers went straight at the black shadow with crazed attacks, and they easily tore it into shreds… but it was just a normal piece of clothing.
When they realized that they had fallen into a trap, the archers to the left let out cries of surprise and pained screams.
Xiao Shan, who had previously vanished from their sight, was there. He moved among the crowd as if he was taking a stroll in a park. Every time he took a small step forward, he would bizarrely appear three feet ahead. While avoiding the attacks from around him, he would appear beside his next target. No one could see how he attacked, but there would always be people who fell dead behind him. After a period of time since they fell, blood would pour out from their throats, the center of their brows, or their hearts.
In an instant, more than twenty Mountain Range Sect members were killed.
When he saw this, Heartless Man sucked in a sharp breath while standing on the stairs.
‘What ruthless sword technique! What terrifying footwork!’
Not only was the man’s footwork agile and mysterious, it also gave others the misconception that they had lost their target. With his extremely skilled quick sword, all those who were below Blessed Realm could not hope to fight against him.
“Enough with the rampant acts!”
Some people could no longer hold it in as they watched their brothers be killed one after another.
A few of the Blessed Realm leaders and hall chiefs moved past Heartless Man.
“Perfect timing!”
Xiao Shan did not panic. After he killed the last archer in the tower to the left, he moved and avoided a fatal slash. His body then appeared beside his attacker, and he thrust his iron sword forward with an unimaginable angle to drive it into the left side of the chest of the leader behind his attacker.
The latter only felt a sharp pain in his body before he shuddered. The iron sword had already been withdrawn from his body, and as his life quickly flowed out from his body, he lowered his head to see red liquid pouring out of the bloody hole in his chest.
“How murderous you are, Mountain Range Sect!”
In a single breath, Xiao Shan killed two Blessed Realm players and shocked the powerful Mountain Range Sect’s players behind him. His eyes move between them, and a cold look that made others tremble appeared on his slightly pale face.
“I, Quicksword Xiao Shan, have learned how you are today! Tomorrow, at this time, I will come again to experience this murderous intent among you!” he said in an incredibly indifferent tone.
Once he finished speaking, he jumped a few times and disappeared from the stronghold, which was now filled with corpses.
While everyone was confused as to why he had suddenly left, Heartless Man’s eyes sparkled, and with an extremely dark expression, he said, “If a person in Blessed Realm executes high-tier footwork, their automatic qi recovery won’t be able to restore the amount of qi they use up.”
Soon, the name of Quicksword Xiao Shan of the south shook the entire world of martial artists because of his feat of defeating Mountain Range Sect!
