Sword Among Us

Chapter 631: Clash of Blood

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Outside Sky Demon Branch was Eleventh Crane, and he was dressed in archer gear and had a quiver full of arrows. He jumped high into the air and landed on the wall of the branch. Then, he bent his knees, and before quite a number of Mu Clan members’ surprised glances, he sat down cross-legged to stare into the distance without moving.

Not far from him was a person with his back straight. At that moment, he was commanding a group of Mu Clan members to lift a row of logs tied together to form an X shape and weighing 1,100 pounds. It was used to set up the second defense line around the branch.

The first row was used to declare the area belonging to the branch, and the second row was the area in which Mu Clan members could move around. It could be considered as an outdoor training ground.

After going through months of baptism and training in West Region, Rampaging Dragon was no longer the rash hothead that he was while he was in university. His footsteps were steady, and his eyes burned bright. When he walked, there was an air of magnanimity that was formed after he accumulated experience, and while he was still not good with words, he appeared to be awe-inspiring.

There were quite a number of Mu Clan members who were around twenty to thirty years old under him, but they showed no signs of dissatisfaction when they acted in an orderly manner under his orders.

This time, he was personally called by Happy because he was capable of managing the branches in West Region in an orderly fashion, and he was the strongest among Mu Clan members there. Rampaging Dragon’s strength never waned, but he was not just the strongest among Mu Clan members in West Region. He had also gradually made quite the name for himself.

The elites from the southwestern countries had provoked him multiple times, but most of them were forced to retreat...

It could be said that Rampaging Dragon’s improvement had surpassed that of Phoenix Dances and many other high-level ranking members in the original Beautiful Robes Faction. It came to the point that Phoenix Dances often had to rely on Rampaging Dragon to help her in many areas.

The destruction of Beautiful Robes Faction had caused Phoenix Dances, Butt Shaker, Puffy God, Tea Words, and the others to become bolder after their disgrace. Rampaging Dragon was also like that. He was never someone who was good at expressing himself, but he worked hard and contributed to the clan quietly. He used a way to which no one would pay attention and accumulated his strength. Then, slowly, he rose to power among the people from Beautiful Robes Faction.

Not only did Phoenix Dances and the rest place more value in Rampaging Dragon as time passed, even Thunderous Battle and Happy heard about his deeds repeatedly.

The reason Happy moved Rampaging Dragon to the incredibly important Sky Demon Secret Cave was because he had the idea of having him serve as the master of Sky Demon Branch!

After all, as Sky Demon Secret Cave became open to the public and grew in popularity, there would definitely be countless martial artists who would gather in the place, and more quarrels would occur. Rampaging Dragon’s quiet and level-headed personality fit Happy’s requirements, and he was sure this youth could display Mu Clan’s awe-inspiring presence the best!

Thud, thud, thud, thud...

The rapid sounds of horse hooves came from outside Sky Demon Branch, and they sounded like thunder.

The Mu Clan members who were busy with their training raised their heads and looked outside!

They saw more than twenty built and dark strangers charging toward them and showing no signs of slowing down. After seeing that, quite a number of Mu Clan members in the front row turned red with anger!

Most of them had transferred from other inland cities and knew of Mu Clan’s might and glory. Because of that, when they saw people rushing toward them in such an impolite manner, they were displeased!

A few people tapped against the ground and jumped outside the wall formed by the logs. They shouted at the people who were charging toward them.

“Mu Clan’s branch is here! Whoever you are, stop!”

“Get down from your horses!”

Those people attacked while they spoke.

Clang! Clang!

As the clear sounds of them drawing their weapons rose, they became ready to fight.

Rampaging Dragon, who stood behind the second row of logs, glanced at the two dozen or so people and frowned a little before suddenly shouting something that no one understood.

“Hyud!” [1]

The group of dark and thin men charging over had mocking expressions on their faces, but when they heard the incredibly familiar word, they tugged at their reins and slowed down. They stared at Rampaging Dragon, who stood with an eye-catching presence behind the crowd.

When the dark and thin men recognized Rampaging Dragon, they were stunned, but they quickly exchanged glances while on the backs of their horses. They laughed savagely, swung their whips against the butts of their horses, and increased their speed swiftly!

The group rushed over like a storm.

“How preposterous!”

“How dare you cause trouble in Mu Clan?! Do you want to die?!”

“Brothers, attack!”

Clang! Clang!

Before even finishing their words, more than ten people stepped on the rows of logs and jumped high into the air. All sorts of sword glares that had shrill sounds tore through the air in the direction of the dark and thin men who charged at them with their horses.

Rampaging Dragon did not expect that those people would rush straight at the branch. They did not show Mu Clan any respect.

He became angry and shouted a few strange words before turning his head around and ordering, “Archers, get ready!”

When he spoke, the people on the horses suddenly jumped up. They bent their knees and stepped on the backs of their horses. Their horses neighed in pain, and their front hooves sank down swiftly.

They fell down, but their riders used the inertia to instantly reduce the distance of dozens of feet between them to zero in a flash. They watched the Mu Clan members draw their swords and thrust forward, and they brought their knees violently forward with the force of a cannonball.

The Mu Clan members had never run into such a fierce way of fighting before. They had no time to react, and they only saw the area before their eyes turning black before they heard the clear and loud sound of their bones breaking. Then, their consciousness became blurry.

Quite a number of Mu Clan members were stunned by the blows!

All the dark and thin men used this method to knock the Mu Clan members more than thirty feet backwards.

Whoosh!

Rampaging Dragon acted incredibly quickly. He jumped up and caught one of the members. Once he landed, he retreated a few times with loud footsteps, and it was only then that he managed to completely negate the power from his enemy.

The others were not so lucky!

They fell on the ground and moaned in pain while they rolled about. Their feet and arms were bent in terrifying ways, and they were drenched in cold sweat.

It had happened in an instant, and the Mu Clan members around them simply could not react to the situation. Everyone had rushed out, and the next second they were beaten so badly that they were almost disabled.

It boosted the morale of the thin and dark men. Their horses created thunderous rumbles against the ground while they passed by the logs!

When one of men passed by Rampaging Dragon, he even deliberately put on a cold and mocking sneer that was incredibly provocative.

But at that moment, dozens of whistles tore through the air!

The fierce sounds made their hairs rise, and the people on the horses quirked their eyebrows.

‘We ran into someone powerful!’

Dozens of sparkles rushed forward like lightning, and their targets were the dark and thin men who had finished their performance.

“#￥%#•￥...”

Urgent strange cries rose from the men on the horses, as if they were warning one another to be careful of arrows.

The dark and thin men who had just finished with their performance were feeling incredibly smug, so there was no way that they would have expected their enemies to fire destructive arrows from very far away.

They had relaxed their guards, and that momentary absent-mindedness made them pay a heavy price!

Thud!

Thud!

The arrows pierced numerous chests, and blood seeped down the men’s backs. The force of the arrows was such that they passed through their targets and struck the ground with enough strength to get embedded there. Their fletchings trembled violently even after they stopped.

The sneers had yet to disappear from the faces of those people when shock filled their eyes.

One of the people on the horses had just avoided an arrow when he noticed a figure charging at him with the speed of lightning. Right when he turned his face around, his left side was seized by a huge force. He cried out in shock and anger, lost his balance, and fell from his horse.

He swiftly got to his feet, but more than ten weapons were placed against his neck while intersecting with each other. Not far away, numerous arrowheads were aimed at him. His gaze fixed on them, and his restless limbs instantly stiffened. He no longer dared to move them the slightest bit.

Eleventh Crane quietly stood up with his bow in hand at the top of the wall. With a cold gaze, he stared at the dark and thin man who had stopped moving.
