Sword Among Us Novel - Chapter 527
Chapter 527: One Emperor Appears and Fights Silver Wolf
There was a man with a tall and big build standing with his back straight. He was in the streets to the west of Hero’s Mountain Villa, alone in an arena. Seven elites from different sects had already been defeated by his palms. The man had a manly face, and his incomplete silver mask shone with an intimidating light under the sun.
The challengers who had come forward to register their names temporarily stopped themselves from going up to the arena. They stood at the foot and held the challengers’ plate which they had gotten after a lot of effort with complicated expressions. Everyone had heard of Silver Mask Duke’s awe-inspiring name.
He had Red Flame Palm, which he had already perfected, and it was a technique that made normal players unable to withstand his attacks. Once he came close to them with his Grandmaster Realm Red Flame Palm, their qi would get depleted in a never-ending stream, and many of the rather powerful martial artists could not even last more than thirty moves before Silver Wolf…
Within a short period of time, he shot up to the fourth arena in the Street of Arenas, and if he managed to progress just a little further, he would stand on Dragon Tiger Arena, which was at the center of Hero’s Mountain Villa!
It was the place for countless famous martial artists to show their abilities!
It was a sacred land that every player dreamed of reaching, because it was the place where they could fight against countless martial artists.
It was the first time that Silver Wolf had experienced great longing toward a place since he had entered World of Martial Arts. When he thought about how he was about to fight against countless martial artists and powerful fighters who were sect leaders of various sects, his eyes shone with a brilliant spark. He stretched his body, and his Golden Gloves shone with an intimidating, metallic shine as well as a cold glare.
Fourth-echelon Golden Gloves!
He was the only other person in Mu Clan aside from Happy who was acknowledged by Heartless Iron, and the Forgemaster had taken the initiative to help him refine the incredibly difficult fourth-echelon gloves.
Silver Wolf himself found it rather unbelievable. Within just a few short months, he had turned from a nameless nobody who had to run all over the place and sweat blood as well as tears for his younger sister’s medical treatment fees to a person who had a fourth-echelon Golden Armor Set and a value of nearly one hundred million.
All of it was because of the amazing sophomore, a student who was young but had a rather ridiculously magnanimous heart—his young boss.
A faint hint of a smile showed up at the corners of his lips, and it caused the large number of people at the foot of the stage to feel their hearts tremble in fear. They wondered whether Silver Wolf had lost his mind.
“Call the next.” Silver Wolf ignored the complicated gazes on him and just looked at the judge at the foot of the stage indifferently.
He was very eager to fight more and head to Dragon Tiger Arena to show his strength. He wanted to have Red Flame Silver Wolf’s name to ring through the world of martial artists!
The judge at the foot of the stage could only look away from the person who had a hard time even moving. The man had a myriad of emotions surging in his heart as he did so. He focused on his job thought and asked to take the loser off the arena before he lowered his head to sweep through the challenge log in his hands.
“Next…”
Before he could finish speaking, a sharp sound of air being sliced rose.
A hint of wariness flashed in the yellow-robed man’s eyes, and he lifted his left hand to easily catch the item that came charging at him. When he unfurled his fingers to have a look, he saw two words written on the plate.
One Emperor.
His pupils shrank slightly.
The yellow-robed man sucked in a deep breath and looked toward the stage with an incredibly somber expression.
A man in a brocade robe with black borders had already appeared on the stage, and he stood tall like a mountain, making it seem as if he had been standing there all along. He stood across from Silver Wolf without any expression on his face. Only a faint hint of interest shone in his eyes.
“You’re Silver Wolf, Happy’s strongest subordinate.”
“Yes, he is my boss.”
At the moment the stranger appeared in front of him, he sensed a wave of pressure and danger he had never sensed before, and warning bells rang loudly in his head.
Silver Wolf instantly tensed up! A presence that he had never revealed before while he fought in the arena rose from him, along with a presence that was similar to a wild beast’s!
“Interesting.” Surprise flashed in One Emperor’s eyes, and a delighted expression appeared on his face. “You’re the most interesting one among the opponents I chose today. You should be able to receive a few of my attacks.”
When he heard the arrogant words from his mouth, a hint of wariness appeared in Silver Wolf’s eyes, and he asked, “One Emperor?”
“Indeed.”
When One Emperor admitted to his identity, it caused a ruckus below the stage. Shocked and delighted expressions appeared on the players’ faces. They had never seen One Emperor fight, and they did not know just how strong was this legendary person, so there was no way they would miss such a rare chance.
Everyone opened their recording systems at that moment and directed them at the stage, as if they were spotlights.
‘Silver Wolf VS One Emperor!
‘So exciting that you can’t miss it!’
Quite a number of people even thought of the title they would put with the battle replay they would upload. They would all be definitely eye-catching.
At that moment, quite a number of people from behind the crowd squeezed their way forward. There were even some who jumped over from roofs and stopped at a spot that was high up. They looked incredibly excited.
“He’s here again!”
“Haha, what round is this? I’ll definitely earn big this time! If I make a playlist and sell it to the pay-to-view system, I wonder how much I’ll earn. Hey, bro, you in the same business?”
Most of the players who followed him were not very famous players. When they saw that there were already quite a number of people who occupied the spots that provided a rather good view, they could not help but lament.
When a large group of players had charged to the place, there were quite a number of people who were incredibly surprised.
“Did you… come for One Emperor?”
“Duh!” someone answered. “What? Are you telling me you aren’t? Could it be that you don’t know what happened over there?”
“What happened?”
“One Emperor has already cleared two of the four streets. One Emperor has already visited Chivalry Sect’s Lin Xiao and Red Dust, Cold Moon Palace’s Lu Mingyue, Ashura Duke Night Ran Ashura, and they’re all people who are famous in the game!
“|Aside from the people I mentioned, the others he challenged could not even receive a single thrust from One Emperor! Tsk tsk… even Chivalry Duke Lin Xiao of Chivalry Sect could only receive three slashes from him. One thrust nearly even pierced his chest.”
“What?!”
“Don’t you dare go off and not believe me. I’m telling you, I’m going to compile all of the videos together, so remember to search for my name later. I promise you, you’ll definitely have your fill watching it! Hehe!”
The speaker went straight to promoting his own video. He left behind his name before he had his recording system point straight at Silver Wolf and One Emperor in the arena. His concentration was great.
“I mean, is One Emperor really that amazing?”
“Duh! Up until now, no one has managed to force him to use a fourth attack. One Emperor has even stated that whoever manages to last through the fourth one can get one of the three items in his hands!”
“He’s giving rewards for people who withstand his attacks? What are those items?” Quite a number of people asked at the foot of the arena.
“Illusion Life and Death Pill, Moye Sword, and a martial art manual for an ultimate technique!”
It was as if a level 12 hurricane had just blown past the crowd. The foot of the arena instantly went into an uproar. A lot of people sucked in sharp breaths, shocked by One Emperor’s courage and arrogance.
But soon, they fell completely silent.
Once Silver Wolf was certain that he was going up against One Emperor, his eyes became as calm as still water. He did not dare to be negligent, so he put on his fourth-echelon Golden Armor Set piece by piece. The luxurious Golden Armor Set caused many people to hold their breaths, and at the same time, they sensed a horrifying and solemn will rise from Silver Wolf’s body as he prepared to fight with his full strength!
