Chapter 288 - Entering the Battlegod Tomb (2/2)
Two more beams of light appeared, they were Third Elder and Sixth Elder.
On the gate, words written in characters from the ancient times appeared. For the ancient warrior families, it was not too hard to decipher what the words meant.
[No BattleG.o.d Token!]
[No Ages Beyond Twenty!]
[No Entry!]
“How’s that possible? How did Bloodhunter manage to get in?” Xue Yukui was about to go ballistic.
The monastery gate naturally had no way of responding to that question.
The people on the sidelines, upon seeing this farce, could not help but speak up.
One man that was sitting cross-legged, who had a Qiang*, a spear with a red horse-tail-like ta.s.sel lashed where the shaft and blade met, grinned as he rejoiced in the misfortune he was witnessing.
“Isn’t it obvious? The person had a BattleG.o.d Token and wasn’t over twenty years old, that’s why he could go in!”
“You piece…” Xue Yukui was about to start swearing, but after seeing the person who spoke he swallowed the rest of the sentence.
It was Yang Mao, the Yang family’s Second Elder.
He was an ancient warrior of D5-tier strength.
On the other side, a short middle-aged man who was sitting cross-legged, with an épée resting against his shoulder also added in on the mockery, “So that was the infamous Bloodhunter I’ve been hearing about. I’ve also heard that they killed Xue Yuheng, who would have thought that one of Xue family’s elders would lose to some beardless child! What an embarra.s.sment!”
Xue Yukui’s face flushed red.
“Tieh Lei, does this mean you want to duel?” The Xue family’s Third Elder bellowed.
“Sure! My arms are itching!”
The atmosphere between the two people was suddenly filled with domineering arrogance.
“Xue family, don’t forget whose territory this is. You’re challenging three families, are you sure this is a fight you want to engage in? Don’t stain the ground with your blood, there’d be no body or bones left to bury.” A woman in her thirties with a whip wrapped around her waist said sharply.
Hou family’s Hou Yangjiao.
Not only that, there were two other D-tiers, and among them were the co-owners of two cities out of the Four Cities of the North Sea.
These people naturally did things their own way, but they were entirely different when compared to the Xue family.
They were part of the Human Alliance.
The Xue family was part of the Dark Coalition.
They would naturally be in opposition, but n.o.body wanted to go to war. That would bring no benefits.
The three people from the Xue family had pale faces and could only swallow hard and speak no more.
In their hearts, they were wondering, why would these people be here?
In fact, the BattleG.o.d Tomb did not give them much benefit, but Xue Yuan had been murdered three days ago and that had put everyone on high alert.
Xue Yuan was the Xue family’s current prodigy, their family treasure, who ended up having the misfortune of getting killed off. The Xue family was also a group of cruel individuals, what if they suspected that it was the other family’s fault and killed off the other family’s disciples?
Needless to say, Xue Linhan had really thought about it.
As a result, the three families sent their D-tier elites over but did not expect this series of events to occur afterward. The Xue family did not come to kill their disciples but they did not dare return and had been quietly keeping tabs on their surroundings.
Who would have thought that this would be the final result.
“This Bloodhunter’s not even twenty years old!”
“There’s no one who’s under twenty years old in the BattleG.o.d Tomb right now. Doesn’t it feel like we’re just accompanying our kids to the study hall?”
“There would surely be fierce compet.i.tion in the BattleG.o.d Tomb. I hope that this Bloodhunter doesn’t kill innocent people, at least he went after people from the Xue family and has the status of a bounty hunter. He should not be someone from the Dark Coalition!”
Everyone had different thoughts, but they were all thinking about Qin Feng.
Meanwhile, the moment Qin Feng stepped through the gate, his sight s.h.i.+fted.
*Translator’s Note 1: ‘Tieh’ is directly p.r.o.nounced from the Chinese word ‘铁’, meaning ‘steel’ or ‘metal’. Tieh Lei could be read as ‘Honest/Sincere Steel’ in English.
*Translator’s Note 2: While the original version for this would be directly translated to ‘Red-Ta.s.sel Spear'(红缨枪), the direct word for this weapon would simply be ‘Qiang'(枪) as it means ‘Spear’ in Chinese.
Also, an épée is a weapon used in fencing. A kind of heavy rapier with a sharp pointed end
