Chapter 454 (1/2)

Underneath the broken mountain peak, villagers dispersed in all directions in panic. Some parents even lost their kids while running in panic.

The village chief Gao was also completely stunned. As the chief of this group of lowly people and one of the only few people that were slightly knowledgeable in the village, when he saw the cloaked men that were equipped with flame swords starting to surround the village, he knew that today was the village’s last day.

Other people might not know about how powerful those people were, but he knew. Three years ago, a small head of the Sword Fortress took a fancy to a young girl who lived in a quite big village. The young chief of that village was deluded by the size of their village, not only did the young chief not listen to the elder generations’ advice but he also refused to hand over the girl. His behavior enraged the Sword Fortress. And less than one day, the entire village was wiped out from this world.

From then on, all the younger generation leaders of the villages on the scorched earth bowed their heads down in fear whenever they heard of the name – The Sword Fortress.

In fact, what many people that lived in the village did not know was that in the social hierarchy designed by the rulers of the upper-cla.s.s, ‘Villages’ also had a different name. It was called ‘the place of rabbles’. Apart from the savages who lived in the wild, the people who lived in villages were the lowest people in the social hierarchy.

Resisting was useless, no matter how many people they had!

“Is this how this village is going to end?!” the village chief Gao murmured. At the same time, the hatred toward the second kid of the Fang family also began to grow inside him.

The black cloaked men were still running fast trying to surround the village. The villagers were still screaming in fear while trying to find a place to hide. But there was one person, who was standing quietly at the entrance of the village while having a kid in his arms. He just stood there and glared into the darkness coldly, not moving.

In the beginning, the black-cloaked men of the sword fortress thought that the man was too scared to move. They had seen too many people react the same way when they showed up in the past. So they didn’t pay attention to it.

Because of that order, they had been on the road for three days. Everyone was filled with irritations and dissatisfaction. And the only way to vent it out was to take it out on those people.

But just when they ran towards the entrance of the village in a threatening manner, a rusty broken sword suddenly flew towards them at stub into the ground before the first black-cloaked man.

“Anyone dares to walk past this sword, die!”

Cold words were said word by word by the old man who was holding a kid emotionlessly.

The first cloaked man was first dazed by the unexpected ice-cold voice, he instinctively stopped for a second. But when he realized that it was just a senile old man, he instantly felt humiliated. He was extremely angry and wanted to kill the old man right on the spot.

However, in the next second, his face instantly turned pale. All his companions who followed closely behind him were shocked.

As the tattered clothes that the senile old man dressed began to float and flap rapidly in the air, energy fluctuations began to appear around the old man and it was increasing at an incredible speed.

Yuan Tian stage one, Yuan Tian stage two! Yuan Tian stage two sub-stage one; sub-stage two… sub-stage five! And it was still increasing!

More and more black-cloaked men began to gather behind the sword, but none of them dared to walk past the sword. A cloaked man, who had just joined the team no long ago, couldn’t even stop his body from shaking in fear.

Yuan Tian stage three!

No one expected that there would be a Yuan Tian stage three master in such a lowly village. The ‘simple’ mission about chasing a traitor suddenly became very complicated.

Captain Jia, captain Yi, and captain Bing, all arrived. But still, none of them dared to cross the rusty sword.

However, they also couldn’t retreat. If they went back without completing this mission, they would be considered deserters. They would be executed.

Eventually, Chu Yunsheng stopped releasing his Yuan Qi energy outside. He slightly adjusted the girl’s position in his arms preventing her from falling down from his arms, and then turned around and walked back into the village.

Today was the first day he came back alive. He didn’t want to kill anyone. He wanted to spend a peaceful day with those people.

Moreover, he could clearly feel that there were two other people that had the strength of middle-level revived aliens hiding in the dark.

Although he was not scared of them, he didn’t want to fight anyone today. He just hoped that he would scare them away.

Three Captains were hesitant while looking at Chu Yunsheng’s back. It was at this moment, a deep voice suddenly appeared in the communication device that was in the hand of that Captain Yi woman.
