Chapter 503: Hidden Experts (1/2)

Tomas was one of the strongest hunters in the town for a reason, this kind of move would not work against him. He drew his sword and clashed against the incoming battle-ax.

Dang!

While he managed to block the battle-ax and saved his life, the force behind the battle-ax was not a joke. It sent the man flung backward and crashed into Biaska Inn. The four people next to Mayor Tomas were caught off guard. Instead of attacking Tang Shaoyang, they retreated into Biaska Inn, checking Mayor Tomas' condition.

Mayor Tomas stood up from the debris and looked at Tang Shaoyang with fury. His right hand was shaking from receiving the strike. He was still in a state of shock that the man was so strong, 'But I have the number, we can take him down, five against one!'

However, the Mayor overlooked the female knight. Ashley made her way toward Tang Shaoyang as her frost aura froze the guard that tried to fight her. She then stood next to Tang Shaoyang and let out a sigh, ”Look at what you have done, you created chaos. The Malone Family will detect this quickly. You are blowing our cover!” The girl was grumbling.

”Then what? Should I let him sell you to the brothel?” Tang Shaoyang rolled his eyes at the girl, ”And if you are afraid of getting known by the Malone Family, we just need to make sure that they don't know that we are here. For example, we can silence all people and raze the town.”

Without a doubt, the method would work. But that was just sarcasm from Tang Shaoyang, he did not plan to slaughter the innocent. He was still far from being a mass murderer.

”Hah, whatever. Let's end the chaos quickly!” Ashley held her sword up, ”Frost Sword Technique: Third Frost Sword, Freezing Blade!” The frost aura burst out from the sword as she slashed the sword toward the direction of Mayor Tomas and his bodyguards.

Whoosh!

The frost aura shot up toward Tomas Conn as his bodyguards, freezing everyone who was on the path. When the frost blade was five meters away from Tomas Conn, an old man's voice rang, ”Hah… I don't want to get involved with this thing, but if I don't interfere, my inn will be destroyed.” An old man with white hair and beard appeared in front of the Biaska Inn. The old man waved his hand and a shield made of mana covered the whole inn.

The frost blade froze the mana shield and ice covered the whole building. The sudden phenomenon caused the chaos to a halt. Everyone was looking at the building and then they looked toward the one who caused the building to freeze.

Meanwhile, Ashley ignored those stares as she creased her foreheads, ”An Epic!” She muttered as she recalled what the old man did just now. She was pretty sure that the old man was an Epic or else he could not block her freezing blade that easily.

Tang Shaoyang's eyes shone brightly when he heard there was an Epic in the inn, ”A hidden Epic is finally showing up!? You can take care of Tomas and his friends, I will face the Epic!” He then approached the freezing mana shield with the battle-ax. He was about to break the freezing shield until it crumbled by itself. The ice fell apart and showed the Biaska Inn.

”Calm down, young man! I am too old to join the fight with the young. You want these guys, right? Here, I give them to you,” The old man threw five unconscious men in front of Tang Shaoyang. The five men were Tomas and his friends.

Tang Shaoyang was surprised as he looked at the five people in front of his feet and looked back at the old man. There was a burning desire in his eyes to fight the old man.

”Hah…” The old man released a sigh, ”Probably I should not go out,” he could tell that by looking at Tang Shaoyang that the man was to fight him even more. This was not solving the problem to cease the fight.

”How suspicious, why would you give him to me instead of helping him? He is the Mayor of Biaska Town and one of your people,” Tang Shaoyang squinted his eyes as he started to look for a reason to fight the old man. He wanted to try it out, his limit. The Epic Beastment with level 800ish could not test him to the limit. It was barely a fight since five Dark Vultures failed to force him to use [Epic Integration]. Maybe an Epic could give him some challenges.

”Simple, I just want to solve the issue quickly and minimize the damage to the town. From my vision, it would be easier for me to knock these five out than knocking you out,” The old man answered with a smile. Fine reasoning in Tang Shaoyang's ears, meaning the old man acknowledged his strength.

”Moreover, we don't want to get involved with the knight of the kingdom. I just want the peace back,” The old man glanced at Ashley. He recognized Ashley as one of the knights of the kingdom, ”I don't care what you want to do in the Gigante Forest. You can do what you want to do, and I want my peaceful town back. That's it.”

”Oh, so it was a peaceful town despite many hunters suffering under Mayor Tomas' tyranny?” Tang Shaoyang grinned at the old man, ”Where were you when they suffered?”
