Chapter Two – Boss, We Will Follow You

Just a matter of moving my fingers?

Such arrogant words immediately caused shock and rolls of the eyes. Was something wrong with this youth's head? He dared to say to a sword master expert. Did this person think they were a celestial rank expert?

Mo Nan's blood rushed to his head, his eyes glaring as he smiled in anger. “Good good good! A teenage boy dares to boast here. Don't think that I will not do anything to you because you have the protection of His Excellency Lei Yufeng!”

At this time, no one except Mo Nan spoke. Bai Qing had wanted to explain but her voice had been drowned out by the crowd. She stood out now with a sway of her waist and looked with disdain at Mo Nan. “Your Excellency Mo Nan, do not think that His Excellency Qin Aofeng will fear you because you are a one-star sword master. His Excellency Qin Aofeng has the strength to say such things. Our little squad saw it with our own eyes!”

What did she say? His Excellency?

This appellation gave the group a fright. Many of them shook immediately. If Aofeng said she was a celestial rank expert, the great majority of people would laugh at her, but when someone within the Freedom Alliance said this, then the effect was completely different. They travelled all year in the depths of the forest. No mad man would live until now, and most of the people hear knew each other.

“Bai Qing, you are saying the truth?” a middle-aged seven-sword spirit magister within the group asked with flas.h.i.+ng eyes.

“Of course it is true, that Lan Cheng spoke nonsense without even knowing the situation. He slandered His Excellency Qin Aofeng as a good-for-nothing, His Excellency Qin Aofeng may not be able to become a magister as he said, but he is a sword master!” Bai Qing said in righteous anger, her tone filled with disdain towards Lan Cheng. The seven-man squad next to her nodded and said together, “We saw it too, His Excellency Qin Aofeng saved us.”

The news dropped like a bomb on Freedom Alliance as they gasped.

“Heavens! Sword master, how … … how old is he?”

“No wonder His Excellency Qin Aotian dares to enter Death Ridge alone, he's a celestial rank expert!”

Their gazes changed when they looked at Aofeng again, becoming respectful and solemn. Many people bowed their heads with shame on their faces, their right hands in a fist held horizontally over the left side of their chests as they said regretfully, “Your Excellency Qin Aofeng, please forgive us for our ignorance, we should not listen to rumors.”

Qin Aohai was dumbstruck. The corners of his mouth twitched as he shouted in shock, “Aofeng? You … … you really became a sword master?”

Lei Yufeng who knew of Aofeng's strength as a magister was even more confused. He would believe if Aofeng, that freak, became a celestial magister, but what was with this sword master business?

Aofeng smiled coolly and admitted, “Yes, I have the strength of a sword master.”

“I apologize for my contempt of Your Excellency.” The sword master Mo Nan said with a grave expression. He was similarly shocked and his att.i.tude eased slightly. However, Aofeng was too arrogant, and he was displeased by this. “However, you are not even sixteen, and you have the strength of a sword master, that is an exaggeration! Unless you can actually defeat me, I will not listen to your orders.”

“Words will not prove if I can defeat you, let's try!” Aofeng did not want to waste words with Mo Nan. She snorted, her feet leaving the ground as she rode the hidden flying swords around her to rise into the sky.

A handsome youth wearing a long black robe casually rose into the sky with a hand at the waist. To a certain degree, this already proved this person's ident.i.ty a celestial rank expert. That casual arrogance caused the hearts of the women in the alliance to speed up. Having survived in the forest, they were far from being young girls, but even so, the cold and seductive presence of the “youth” still stunned them.

“Alright, then let me see how strong you are!” Mo Nan's eyes flashed with light as his feet left the ground. “Clang.” He pulled out the broadsword behind his back with both of his hands. He pointed at Aofeng with the sword and said, “Show your weapon!”

“Your Excellency Mo Nan, your perception is too weak. I have already shown my weapons.” Aofeng gave a cunning smile, her black eyes flas.h.i.+ng with a light. She pointed and shouted coldly, “Appear!”

Confused, Mo Nan suddenly found that a dozen black swords suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the surroundings. Each flying sword flashed with a sharp and cold light. They were not ordinary swords. They formed a circle as they shot towards his head!

Mo Nan immediately broke into a cold sweat. If invisible flying swords like this suddenly attacked, normal people would not be able to dodge! If Aofeng hadn't warned him beforehand, his head would have been cleaved!
