Chapter 256 Come with the Sword and Return with the Heads

When they walk out of the tent, they find that some others also get out of the tent and all look to the same direction.

“Let me go to have a look.” Wood Dragon says that and then leaves in a hurry.

Golden Dragon frowns and says, “It must be that Earth Dragon has met with someone unusual but since such a noise is caused, the person must be quite capable!”

“Yes. Earth Dragon is responsible for the safety security of this place. It must be him who makes the noise. Yet, the one who is able to confront with him with toughness cannot be underestimated indeed.”

It can tell from the words that they are confident in Earth Dragon’s competence.

Gao Ge buys what they are saying.

You must be at the realm of Master at worse before you can become the Earth Dragon of the Dragon Court.

Soon Wood Dragon comes back with a short and fat man.

When they come near them, Golden Dragon asks immediately, “What happened?”

“It’s a swordsman, who is capable and young.” Earth Dragon spits ptysis with blood and curses, “Darn it! It is my first time that I have seen such a capable young man. He must have reached the realm higher than Master. Moreover, his sword spirit is rather imposing, which is a bit similar to that of Xiao Linran. I am quite curious what it will look like they two get into a fight.”

“Didn’t you catch him?” Water Dragon asks curiously.

Earth Dragon darts a glance at her, asking, “He catches me or I catch him?”

Water Dragon has no idea how to answer the question.

“A young swordsman... Is he from the Xiaoshan Sword Sect?” Fire Dragon asks with a frown.

Water Dragon shakes her head and says with certainty, “It’s not likely. We don’t stop the people of Xiaoshan Sword Sect and they don’t dare to confront us directly. I do remember that there used to be young swordsman in Jiangnan who killed a lot of people...”

“You mean Xia Shengtang from the Xia Family of Song City. He is a young swordsman indeed but he is not that capable.” Fire Dragon shakes his head and says.

Gao Ge can’t help feeling alerted when he hears the name of Xia Shengtang.

“You are right. Xia Shengtang is not that capable indeed.” Wood Dragon also says smilingly aside.

“He may have run into some mysterious incidents.” Water Dragon says and chuckles.

Yet, she is just saying. Unless it is a secret realm, there is no other encounter that can make someone grow fast within a short period of time.

There may be a lot of geniuses but they don’t just show up suddenly.

“It seems like the one is also coming for the secret realm. Maybe...” After saying that, Fire Dragon hedges and didn’t continue talking.

“If he is really one of those people, after we go into the secret realm, we will teach them a good lesson!” Earth Dragon says aggressively.

“Let’s talk about that after we go in there.” Wood Dragon says while shaking his head, “We had better be careful. I wonder how it is going on at the border.”

“There should be no problem with Heaven Dragon and other peers there.”

They return to the tent then.

They keep talking about the identity of the intruder. After all, very few people are capable enough to confront Earth Dragon.

The night is dark.

A gust of sea wind blows across the face.

The round moon goes up in the distance, as if jumping out of the sea surface. As a poem goes, the bright moon is rising above the sea; everyone faraway is sharing the same moment.

A rusty smell permeates the air.

The sea and the sky are merged into one in the faraway distance. If you close your eyes, you will hear heavy waves rolling in and seagulls singing.

On the sea surface there is a boat coming at a slow speed from somewhere.

Seven or eight people standing on the boat deck with tan skin and a weird smell, who all look rather stern. An old man among them is sitting in the cabin with a small table before him. On the table are a few strange pots.

The old man appears homicidal just like a starving wolf with ferocious eyes.

The rest young men are chatting with each other, who burst out laughing once in a while.

Suddenly, a wave rolls up high and then drops heavily.

The old man frowns and immediately reaches out his hand to strike a punch at the pot before him. The pot is broken into pieces and then a beam of golden light comes out of it to envelope the whole boat. As the wave surges, the boat rises and falls but it is not swept over.

A man with a sword steps on the sea surface as easily as walking on firm earth, dashing towards the group of people.

“Anyone who intrudes into Huaxia must die!”

Every word is filled with infinite killing intent. Gusts of heavy wind whistle.

The high waves roll in and drop continuously just like slaps in the boat.

The pots in the cabin are broken one after another. Beams of golden light keeps glittering, which look like golden flowers booming at night.

The man running on the sea surface moves faster and faster.

“You group of monkeys. How dare you come to make trouble in Huaxia?” The man comes with the waves. Suddenly, he takes a leap and gathers a streak of Qi with his long sword. As he slashes, the golden light that envelops the boat disappears.

The old man in the cabin pats the table and then stands up to walk out of the cabin. With his eyes both red, he pulls a red string.

“Hem. What is the red string about? Do you think you are a matchmaker?” The man with the sword says laughingly.

The old man keeps mumbling, which is useless though. The man with the sword gives him another strike.

“Stop nagging. How do I know what you are talking about?” The man with the sword says resentfully.

Although he doesn’t know what the old man is talking about, he just takes it that the old man is cursing him.

How can he stand it?

Hence, the man gets even angrier. He keeps striking at them, which can easily make others recall the mythological figure–Wu Gang, who is said to cut down the trees on the moon.

The old man’s red string suddenly becomes a red giant snake and comes at the man.

“Hem. Can you have other competence? All you can do is to play with the snakes!” The man smirks and goes forward instead of retreating. He strikes at the big snake and slash it off with his sword.

The Qi goes against the wind and whistles across the sea surface.

A few young men walk out, raise the crossbows and shoot the arrows. The man waves his sword and turns the arrows into dust with his Qi.

The old man jumps up, with his black robe rustling in the sea wind. The man laughs and mutters, “Good timing!” Then he dashes downwards and slashes down the old man with his sword.

“To know oneself is true knowledge. How dare you rats from a small country come to Huaxia?” The man spits to vent out his disdain. He doesn’t mind whether it is an indecent act. After all, no one sees him and those who see him are dead.

When the man is standing on the boat, he finds a rope in the cabin. He fetches it and strings the heads together. Then he picks up his sword and returns by walking in the waves.

He comes with the sword and returns with the heads.
