Chapter Four Hundred and Eighty Seven – Come! (2/2)
Wei Sheng was on Zuo Mo’s right, Shu Long on Zuo Mo’s left. Zong Ru was next to Wei Sheng and was the second to Zuo Mo’s right.
No matter who it was, none of them had imagined the true master of Turtle Island was this outrageously young youth! Looking at that face that still held a thread of tenderness, everyone found it hard to believe.
Zuo Mo did not speak and displayed great calmness. In that glance, he had judged the situation. There were five groups of people, and what he felt was the greatest threat was that group with forty to fifty people. Zuo Mo was very sensitive to the presence of battle and he saw with a glance that this large group were not friendly.
The other groups were not as high of a threat to him.
Especially this group that was closest to him, there were only five people!
———
“So it is a little baby whose hair hasn’t all grown out!” Leng Sheng gave a cold snort and had an unconcerned expression. “I had thought it would be a powerful person!”
Leng Wei did not speak. When that sword had cut off the arm, this youth that was outrageously young didn’t even bat an eyelash.
He was too calm! This was a calm that did not fit his age!
———
At this time, a bellow came from the group of people nearest Zuo Mo. “Such daring! At death’s door and you dare to harm one of ours! You want to die! Brothers, kill this group of children, don’t leave any alive!”
Zuo Mo’s gaze landed on him.
His eyes were cold as he spat one word out, “Kill!”
Before his words finished, Xie Shan, Ma Fan, Lei Peng, Nian Lu and A Wen attacked!
From the beginning, the other side had carefully maintained a distance from Zuo Mo’s group but they had never expected the distance which they thought was extremely safe was enough for Xie Shan and the others!
Xie Shan and the others had long practiced the three section wave killing charge. Short-distance charges were seeped down into their bones and were like an instinct!
Between two points, a straight line was the shortest!
Sword up, power, accelerate, and a charge without any finesse!
Four ruler-straight golden sword lights flashed in everyone’s field of view.
The exception to Guard Camp, A Wen walked a path completely different than the others—he was a Mo Shadow Guard skilled in speed! With a light saw, the feathers around him shook lightly and his body disappeared in the air like a ghost.
The five people paled, hurriedly activating their ling armor to block this attack!
Pia!
Four heads left necks and flew into the air!
The power of the fifth-grade gold crystal sword was displayed in this kind of charge! The other’s ling armor was like paper-mache and did not stop them at all.
There was a bowl-sized bloody hole at the throat of the last person. No one detected how it had formed!
It was like the most practiced butcher treating the lamb on its board, hand up, blade down!
A battle finished in the blink of an eye with one side completely losing.
Many people showed a hint of terror. Such a sharp and decisive attack was out of everyone’s expectations!
Shouldn’t they be afraid?
Wei Li Tian and Leng Wei’s expressions started to become grave. They saw and understood more than average xiuzhe and the shock they received was much greater than normal xiuzhe.
The four sword xiuzhe had made the same move … … clean and crisp, an attack without any finesse, it had the scent they were familiar with, the scent of a battalion!
The sky above Turtle Island was completely silent!
At this time, a cold smile floated at the corner of Zuo Mo’s mouth. He slowly said, “I hadn’t expected Turtle Island to receive so many heroes today.”
Zuo Mo’s voice was not loud, his tone did not change. He seemed to be narrating a very normal matter but with slight disdain.
Yet in this silence, his voice was so clear and echoed in the sky.
At this moment, no one dared to underestimate this outrageously young Island Master any longer!
“You can fight however you want over the ruins! But!”
Zuo Mo’s voice paused, his eyes fierce as he looked at the surroundings. The murderousness on his face was exposed as he slowly breathed out.
“If someone wants to target our Turtle Island, then you are welcome to see if my sword is sharp or not!”
Zuo Mo seemed to be uncaring that there were multiple numbers of jindan around him.
“Such a great tone!” A shout came from a short distance away.
At Zuo Mo’s side, Wei Sheng’s brow creased. He stepped forward and his wrist turned. The black sword that was like a horse-chopping sabre seemed to be pulled out of a non-existent sword sheathe, one that was a void.
The speed he was pulling out the sword was not fast but as the sword rubbed the air, it created a tail of blinding sparks!
A sword hum shook the surroundings!
Wei Sheng dealt a blow.
Translator Ramblings: Let’s have a discussion about pets and working animals and my viewpoint on Zuo Mo as a pet owner.
There is a slight distinction which might put Zuo Mo’s actions into perspective. Working animals are the ones that are domesticated and then perform tasks or have specific duties ie. Transportation, herding sheep, plowing fields, producing milk. Then we have pets which are mostly for companionship and amusement to the owner.
In most Chinese fantasy stories, what we usually have are working animals, because they are expected to fight for the owner in exchange for food, shelter, or an increase in strength, regardless of whether they are called pets or not. In a way, Silly Bird and Lil’ Black started out like this for their transportation and ling seeking abilities but Zuo Mo hasn’t needed those talents recently. For example, he hasn’t upgraded LIl’ Black’s abilities after the two hundred or so chapters. The other pets Zuo Mo have come about due to accidents or good fortune, like Lil’ Pagoda and Lil’ Fire. Initially, Zuo Mo never expected them to work for him and doesn’t demand things of them. That’s why, right now, he doesn’t seem to be concerned about their cultivation and playing around. He isn’t expecting them at present to make him money or fight. There are pet shows in real life but most people do not expect their cats to work for them or make money. He’s the one providing them with food, resources and shelter because that is what most people do for their pets. As long as they are happy and fed, Zuo Mo doesn’t really need to do much else. He’s not neglecting the pets because he does play with them occasionally and they have each other for companionship.
