The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 168 Robbery in Daylight!

There were boundless grassland for grazing in the suburbs of Yunyan City.

The Ford Raptor sped up like an enraged bull all of a sudden, rushing directly toward the rear end of the Land Rover.

Bang!

The rear end of the Land Rover was dented badly from the collision. The old man’s expression turned gloomy. He hit the brakes immediately and spun the steering wheel to prevent the car from turning over.

“Get out of the car now!” The old man said urgently. This was because the Ford Raptor reversed a couple of meters and sped toward them once again.

The young boy and girl were both trained in martial arts, so they opened the car door and jumped out instantly. The old man jumped out of the car as well.

The boy and girl rolled on the ground a couple of times to cushion the impact from the fall. Their faces looked pale since they were still very weak, and they were only at the Innate Realm.

The old man landed steadily as if his feet were rooted to the ground. He then rushed toward the boy and the girl.

“We are fine, Grandpa Fei.” The boy reassured the old man.

Boom!

The Raptor hit the Land Rover once more. This time the Land Rover rolled out of its path after the collision.

The old man’s expression turned uglier as he stepped back, while keeping a close guard on the boy and the girl.

The Raptor reversed and stopped.

The car door opened. The Young Master of Heaven Tao Sect — the grade-six Grandmaster — stepped out of the car.

Meanwhile, the cars behind them caught up as well. They all stopped and eight people came out. Four of them were always seen together with the Young Master of Heaven Tao Sect, and the other four were unfamiliar faces. They were all at Grandmaster Realm, so it seemed that they were the backup.

These eight people blocked all the escape routes of the old man and the two children.

The Young Master stepped forward and looked at the three of them scornfully. He then said, “Hand over the Sword of Goujian and I will spare your lives.”

“Why should we? We bought this sword legally in an auction!” The girl said angrily. The Sword of Goujian was supposed to be her gift to her older brother.

“Why? Such a silly question.” The young man smiled wickedly and said, “But I can answer your question for free. It is because we are stronger than you. Got it?”

The grade-six Grandmaster showed a hint of dominance and it already made the grade-two Grandmaster breathe rapidly, as if a giant rock was pressing against him.

The difference in one grade was already huge, let alone there being four grades between them.

“Xiaoxiao, give them the sword.” The old man said reluctantly. Under the current circumstances, he had to give up the sword for the safety of the boy and the girl.

“Never.” The girl shook her head violently,

“It is fine, Xiaoxiao. I appreciate your thought. Let’s just give them the sword. The price is too heavy for us to hold on to it.” The young boy said angrily. He was obviously reluctant to give it away too.

“Listen to your elder, little girl. Give that sword to me.” The Young Master of Heaven Tao Sect said flippantly, with the same evil smile on his face, “Or do you want me to come over and take it from you?”

“There are too many people here, Young Master. Please watch your behavior.” The grade-six Grandmaster reminded him.

Young Master snorted and his face turned gloomy. He pointed to a grade-two Grandmaster, then said, “Go fetch that sword for me.”

“Right away, sir!” The grade-two Grandmaster answered and walked toward the young girl. “Hand over the sword.” he demanded.

“Never!”

The young girl had a fierce look on her face. She unsheathed the one-meter long sword, which emitted a chilly aura.

“Xiaoxiao, don’t do it.”

Both the old man and the boy were startled and tried to stop her.

The young girl was stubborn and she still would not hand over the Sword of Goujian.

“I admire your guts, little girl, but it is also really stupid. You could get your families killed.” The grade-two Grandmaster ridiculed her.

The girl zoned out a little, then turned to the anxious old man and her brother. Her face immediately became upset.

“Give them the sword, Xiaoxiao. Your safety is more important than anything else.” The boy tried to persuade the girl, as he suppressed his anger.

“Okay, brother.” The girl replied. She looked dejected all of a sudden.

The young boy took the sword and threw it toward the grade-two Grandmaster.

“Here you go.”

The Sword of Goujian fell in a curve in the sky. The grade-two Grandmaster tried to catch it, but failed.

...

The sword made a faint vibrating sound in the air.

A man wearing a mask held the Sword of Goujian. He flicked the body of the sword gently, and a faint sound echoed in the air.

At this moment, many followers of Martial Tao had already gathered around. They were all stunned to see the Sword of Goujian falling into the hands of this man, unknowingly.

“Who are you?” The grade-two Grandmaster who failed to catch the sword, asked. His face turned gloomy and cold.

“You would not want to find out.” A lazy voice said.

That person was dressed formally in black and his skin was fair and tender. He wore a princess mask, which made people even more eager to catch a glimpse of his face.

The Young Master of Heaven Tao Sect signaled to the grade-two Grandmaster to step back. He stepped forward and said with an evil smile, “You must be the one who confronted us at the auction. We were planning to teach you a lesson later, yet you presented yourself to us so eagerly.”

“Is everyone from Heaven Tao Sect so arrogant?” Someone said mockingly.

It was that problematic girl. She stepped forward with a cigarette in her mouth. She gave him a disdainful side glance.

“I can’t believe they are from Heaven Tao Sect! No wonder they are so arrogant.” Someone murmured.

“They are committing daylight robbery! This can’t be condoned.”

People around started whispering among themselves.

Now that their identities were revealed, everyone from Heaven Tao Sect immediately became more alert.

“Young Master, they are from Rock Sect.” The grade-six Grandmaster said, his guard up. People from Rock Sect focused on Hard Cross Training, which was really tough to deal with. They were not too far behind Heaven Tao Sect in terms of strength, either.

“Rock Sect, what is the meaning of this?” The Young Master of Heaven Tao Sect asked harshly. “Rock Sect may be a tough opponent, yet they are nothing to Heaven Tao Sect.” he thought to himself.

“Same as you guys, I am trying to rob you.” The problematic girl answered. She tried to blow a smoke ring, but failed as the wind was too strong. She gave a sideway glance at those from Heaven Tao Sect and said arrogantly, “Hand me the Tripod of the Western Queen and I will spare your lives.”

Her words were exactly the same as what Heaven Tao Sect had said to the old man and the two teenagers.

People from Heaven Tao Sect grew mad. They had always been robbing others, yet today not only did they fail to get the Sword of Goujian, but had also been threatened. Should people learn about what happened today, their reputation would be tarnished!

“Rock Sect, you may be formidable to others, but not to us. If you want the Tripod of the Western Queen, prove to us you have what it takes!” The grade-six Grandmaster stepped forward. His energy was overwhelming and imposing.

The problematic girl rolled her eyes. She flicked the cigarette into the air. As it flew in a curve in the sky, she waved her hand and said, “Presbyter Ge, it is time.”

The atmosphere turned fiery immediately. All the people around them moved back, not because they were scared, but because they were excited. They knew they had not gathered around for nothing. Both Rock Sect and Heaven Tao Sect were prominent sects, no one would wish to miss the chance to witness the clash between these two sects.

They stepped back so there would be enough space for fighting.

Those from Heaven Tao Sect did not expect Rock Sect to be so aggressive, yet they responded to the situation rather quickly and got ready to fight instantly.

An epic battle was about to begin.

At this moment, however, an abrupt sound was heard.

People followed the direction of that sound and they were all stunned by what they saw.

Using the Sword of Goujian, that masked man easily pierced through the Raptor that Heaven Tao Sect used to transport the Tripod of the Western Queen.

The two masters of Acquired Realm, who were guarding it, fell to the ground.
