Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible - Chapter 280

280 The Real Enemy Is Coming

When he first heard Lin Ran’s warning, Ye Jin was a little confused because they were in a desolate plain. The tallest plants around were only half the height of a person, but she didn’t see anything.

However, just as Ye Jin was about to ask a question, a strong wind suddenly blew across the wilderness. Immediately after that, a few black figures arrived with the wind like ghosts and surrounded the two of them almost instantly.

The black figures landed on the ground and revealed themselves as more than ten men with black masks.

Ye Jin’s expression changed as she stood up and shouted, “Who are you? Why are you surrounding us?!”

!!
With a clang, the masked man standing in front of the two of them unsheathed his saber. “Hand over the money obediently! Otherwise, we’ll kill you one by one!”

“Yes! Hand over the money!”

“Don’t move!”

“Why are you wasting your breath on them? Just kill them!”

…

The masked men around the two of them started clamoring, but Ye Jin pretended not to hear them. She frowned slightly and looked at the masked man in front of her. After a few seconds, she probed, “Are you Brother Dashan?”

That person was stunned for a moment before quickly waving his hand. “No, no! My name is Liu Ertong!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the masked man beside him kicked him. “Wang Dashan, are you stupid? Why are you calling my name?”

Only then did Wang Dashan react. Although he had been kicked, he knew that he was in the wrong and did not dare to flare up. He could only look at Liu Ertong and say, “I really didn’t mean it… Then what should we do now?”

“What else can we do?”

Liu Ertong snorted and took off his mask. His young face was filled with ruthlessness. “They already know our identities. We can’t let them live!”

Wang Dashan panicked when he heard that. He hurriedly stood in front of Liu Ertong and said anxiously, “No! Didn’t we agree to only rob money? Jin is also from the Iron City. Moreover, her father is in such a state. If we kill her, how will her father live…”

“Wang Dashan!”

Liu Ertong grabbed Wang Dashan’s collar and glared at him. “Do you think I want this to happen? If you hadn’t exposed our identities, we would have already robbed the money and gone back to have fun!”

“But…”

Wang Dashan was about to say something when Liu Ertong suddenly pushed him away and looked coldly at the others. “What’s the point of hiding your identities now! If they go back alive, none of you will be able to escape!”

Hearing this, the remaining masked men looked at each other for a while before taking off their masks.

Lin Ran glanced around and realized that they were all young people from the Iron City.

Ye Jin panicked when she heard that they were going to silence her. She subconsciously leaned towards Lin Ran and asked in a low voice, “Shopkeeper Huo, can you fight them?”

Lin Ran, who was in a daze, didn’t hear her. Seeing that he didn’t speak, Ye Jin thought that he was afraid.

After struggling for a moment, Ye Jin tugged at the corner of Lin Ran’s shirt and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, “Shopkeeper Huo, I’ll attract their attention later. Find an opportunity to run!”

With that, Ye Jin was about to go forward when Lin Ran came back to his senses and pulled her back.

“Don’t be anxious. Let’s talk first.”

As Lin Ran spoke, he pulled Ye Jin behind him and looked at Liu Ertong, who was not far away. “This place is not far from the Iron City. Aren’t you afraid that the people in the city will find out if you kill someone here?”

Hearing this, not only was Liu Ertong not flustered, but he also smiled sinisterly. “You can only blame yourself for being unlucky. Although this place is not far from the city, very few people come here.”

“Besides, a few days ago, it was said that a ferocious beast appeared nearby. After killing you, I’ll bury you underground. Who knows if you were killed by us or by the ferocious beast?”

“That means no one in the city will notice, right?”

Lin Ran smiled thoughtfully, then his expression darkened. “Then why are you still so arrogant?”

With that, Lin Ran suddenly disappeared.

Liu Ertong widened his eyes in shock. However, just as he raised his eyes slightly, he vaguely heard a series of muffled sounds. Then, he felt a powerful aura appear behind him!

“Argh!”

Liu Ertong exclaimed and wanted to run forward. Suddenly, he felt his neck tighten. It turned out that someone had grabbed his collar.

Before his brain could react, Liu Ertong’s legs had already run out, but the force of the grip on his collar was clearly stronger than him. After the world spun around him, when he saw clearly again, he was already lying on the ground.

The remaining young people also fell to the ground with their eyes rolled back.

“Now we can talk.”

Lin Ran squatted on the ground with a smile and put his face in front of Liu Ertong’s eyes. He said gently, “Hand over the money or I’ll kill you.”

Looking at Lin Ran’s big face that occupied two-thirds of his vision, Liu Ertong looked like he had seen a ghost. His lips trembled uncontrollably and he fainted from shock!

“…If you don’t have the guts, don’t come out and rob people, okay?”

Lin Ran was speechless. He looked up and saw Ye Jin looking at him as if she had seen a ghost.

“What happened?”

Lin Ran frowned and said in confusion, “Why are you looking at me like that? I only knocked them out. I didn’t kill anyone.”

Ye Jin didn’t say anything, but she seemed to be so shocked that she couldn’t speak. After a while, she asked with a complicated expression, “Why are you so strong?”

“Am I strong?”

Lin Ran rubbed his nose in embarrassment. He had tried his best to use as little strength as possible just now. Otherwise, with the difference in realm between them, a casual sneeze from him would be enough to shock these people to death.

However, Ye Jin clearly didn’t think so because Lin Ran was too fast. She only saw Lin Ran suddenly disappear and suddenly appear behind Liu Ertong. As for how the others fainted, she didn’t see it at all!

Such a shocking scene made Ye Jin dumbfounded for a moment.

Just as she was trying her best to figure it out, Lin Ran suddenly waved his hand. “Let’s not talk about this for now. Find a place to hide. The real enemy is about to arrive.”

“The real enemy?”

Ye Jin was stunned. He looked at Liu Ertong and the others who had fainted. “Are they not our enemy?”

Lin Ran didn’t say anything. He just stared in a certain direction with a solemn expression and slowly shook his head.
