By thistheir chat, “We should get going now, the others will be worried if we don’t return soon”
Just then, a loud noise sounded through the forest, andthe their eyes So weapons and shi+elds, displayingauras A rope suddenly flew out fro itself around Roave a rough tug, instantly pulling Ro hold of her body, he used his other hand to strike against her neck, knocking her out cold Letting out a sh, he proudly shouted out, “Brothers, quickly attack now, I’ve successfully captured the elven ician”
The black-clothed er had any reservations, and immediately pounced towards the elves Ya Yuan remained calm and quickly flew into the sky Under his coroup of black-clothed men However, the men seemed to be well-prepared, and almost everyone of the power of the elven arroere strong, they were still unable to pierce through the black-clothed men’s defenses
Although the translucent wings of the elves were able to lift the speed was still incoed people Within the forest, there were all sorts of leaves and branches blocking their way, and they could barely fly up tenout their ropes, and without the support of the elven ht in just a short moment
Seeing such a change in events, Xuan Yue got frightened and quickly rushed over to Ah Dai’s side Yan shi+ hurriedly yelled out, “Elven friends, quickly help us undo our bindings, ill help you to fight against the enemies!”
Ya Yuan was busy shooting arrows and dodging the ropes as he raged back, “Who knows if you are in cahoots with them! It must be you who led them here!” Actually, even if he believed Yan shi+’s words, he had no way to reician in their group, Roma, was already captured
Looking at the group of black-clothedcloser, Yan shi+ was filled with anxiety, and he quickly asked Xuan Yue, “You are a s? They are too tough, and I can’t break free from them”
Xuan Yue thought for a ht be burned by the fire You must bear with the pain for a while!” As she spoke, she took out the Phoenix’s Blood, and quietly chanted, “Oh exalted Phoenix, the King of all birds! Please bestow upon me your eternal flames, transfors!” One of the greatest features of the Phoenix’s Blood was that, as long as one was at a junior ic, and the power of the flaon’s Blood had the saht attribute
Following her incantations, the Phoenix’s Blood in Xuan Yue’s hand let out a red glow, and a bird shaped flaem Under Xuan Yue’s command, it rushed towards the vines around Ah Dai’s chest Ah Dai felt warh his chest, and the vines that were restricting him earlier instantly broke apart The vines were burnt coal black, but due to the icy evil qi of the hell’s Sword, even the flames of the Phoenix’s Blood was unable to har Sword, and with a flash of white, the vines around Yan shi+ and Yan Li were sliced apart Even the toughness of the tree vines were unable to defend against the sharpness of the TianGang Sword The two of them let out a loud roar, and rushed towards the black-clothed men as they drew their weapons
The flaest power that Xuan Yue could use at her current level of strength, and she had originally wanted to continue using the flas on the others However, her e of the Phoenix’s Blood, and she no longer had any strength, collapsing to the ground Actually, she had overestiainst plants, even a lower level fire s
After Ah Dai helped Yan shi+ and Yan Li, he hurriedly rushed over to Xuan Yue, asking in concern, “Yue Yue, how are you? Are you alright?”
Xuan Yue was a little out of breath as she panted, “I’ic force You should quickly go help Yan shi+ and the others defeat those evil people, don’t let them capture the elves! Especially sister Roma”
Ah Dai nodded, and helped Yue Hen and the re four break free All of them had determined looks on their faces, and apart fro behind to protect Xuan Yue, the rest dashed towards the black-clothed men At this ht into the midst of the black-clothed th, and even the thick shi+elds were of no use against their attacks Yan shi+ see his sword relentlessly towards the black-clothed men Every strike was filled with i against him Yan Li’s attacks were not any weaker than Yan shi+’s, and he swung his battle axes around in a frenzy In just a while, seven or eight black-clothed men had already died to the pair of brothers
“Hey, you people! Are you trying to take advantage of the situation to benefit yourselves?” one of the black-clothed men shouted out
Hearing that, Yan Li yelled out in fury, “You oing to kill all you bastards!” Ever since the day that he was tricked by Yan Ju, he already had a belly full of anger, and to add on, the past few days were extre for hier, he rushed towards the group of black-clothedto capture the elves, without any hesitation By this time, Ah Dai had also arrived As Ah Dai was a little duht hi, so most of his attacks were similar to Yan shi+’s The only difference was that Ah Dai was too kind-hearted, every strike of his was only aimed towards the shi+elds of his enemies, once the shi+elds were broken, he then used his TianGang Sword to hit against their joints,them to lose the ability to battle However, what Ah Dai did not notice was that the black-clothed er had their shi+elds to defend themselves, died under the arrows froh Yue Hen’s silver sword and Miao Fei’s soft sere unable to break their enemies’ shi+elds, their attacks ell-executed The black-clothed men were not very powerful, and under the joint cooperation of Yue Hen and Miao fei,the as any black-clothed man was exposed, she would iht flew past, and the accuracy of her archery was not any weaker than the elves’
In just a short while, despite the difference in nuroup of black-clothed roup, and it seemed that they would all be eliminated Just then, another seven black-clothed htly different froroup of black-clothedany shi+elds or ropes in their hands, but instead, they ielding a short dagger in each hand, giving off a cold glint
The elves that were captured before, excluding Roh they did not suffer any serious injuries, they were all knocked out by the enemies
The tall black-clothedon to Roma quickly retreated to the seven black-clothed men who had just appeared, and exclai, but a bunch of powerful fellows suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and snatched away the captured elves Many of our brothers have died or suffered serious injuries!”
A short and sliroup let out a cold hmpf, “You bunch of useless fools, can’t even deal with just these few people Order the men to retreat”
The tall black-clothed man quickly obeyed, and let out a loud, clear whistle Once the whistle sounded, the re, quickly retreated back with their shi+elds as protection, towards the group of black-clothed ers
Ya Yuan, together with the elves ere not captured, quickly gathered with Ah Dai’s group, and Ya Yuan said with iratitude, “You really are friends of our elven tribe, I am really sorry for what happened earlier”
“Let’s not talk about this right now, let us deal with those black-clothed men first Those fellas who just arrived see, everyone be careful,” Yan shi+ warned
Ya Yuan nodded, “I’ve already sent out the signal just noever, as this is close to the borders of our elven tribe, there are fewer of us stationed nearby, perhaps aid will arrive a little late”
Yue Hen furrowed his brows and added on, “From their appearance, these men who just arrived seem to be from the Thieves’ Guild They actually dare to trespass into the elven tribe just to capture elves, aren’t they afraid of the United Regions Commonwealth? I presuh-ranked thieves, everyone be careful”
Yan shi+ glanced at Yue Hen, then said to Ya Yuan, “Brother elf, I’ll leave our back lines to the rest of you, ill go forth to deal with those bastards” After he finished speaking, he started walking forith Yan Li Ah Dai and the members of the Moon Scar Mercenary Group followed behind, and the seven of theroup of black-clothed men
The seven black-clothed men walked up as well, and one of them said in a deep voice, “No matter who you people are, don’t you think you were a little too ruthless? Twenty-two of our brothers died here, you ood explanation”
“What explanation! You bunch of bastards actually dared coh reason to kill you?” Yan Li raged
The black-clothedon this continent, just trying to one to such extre traditions!”
Ah Dai was confused, and softly whispered to Yue Hen, “What traditions are they talking about?”
Yue Hen replied in a low voice, “There are rules in the Thieves’ Guild, that they are not allowed to kill anyone while stealing or robbing It seeive their all The power of high-ranked thieves is very fearsoer We h-ranked thieves have extremely fast speeds”
[TN: I’uessing it’s a rank for the thieves, probably a higher rank than the high-ranked thieves
ED: Froh Thief, and then Acquirer Generally, those who hold the esteemed titled of the Acquirer often steal treasures that are worth cities]
Yan shi+ argued back, “Just for personal profit, you force the kind elves to be subjected to harsh treatment as slaves, your actions are too selfish!+ The continent will be better off without people like you, what’s wrong with us helping everyone to get rid of evil?”
One of the black-clothed roup, and the leader nodded his head, declaring to Yan shi+, “How about this, there’s seven of you, and there’s seven of us Let us have a duel, and if you ill immediately leave the Elven Forest But, if you lose, stop interfering in our business!”
Yue Hen whispered to Ah Dai, explaining, “It seeuild’s rules If not, they wouldn’t be so tolerant right now Actually, this kind of proposal is quite acceptable If ere to defeat them, they will naturally have to back off, otherwise, even if ant to help, ouldn’t be able to save the elves”
Ah Dai nodded, “Big brother Yue Hen, do you think ill be able to beat them?”
“I’m not sure either, I can’t tell hoerful they are from their appearance However, all of their weapons are short daggers, I’m afraid they definitely have some skills The shorter the weapon, the more formidable the skills required”
Yan shi+ also sensed that the black-clothed iven them some leeway, and replied, “You decide then, hoe duel?”
“Very simple, ill each send one person to duel, and the loser is not allowed to participate anyroup are defeated, they will be considered to have lost However, I hope that you will no longer go to the extreme and kill anyone If not… I’m afraid that ill be unable to control our emotions and…”
Yan shi+ did not pay attention to the threat, and hting?”
The leader of the black-clothed o” In a flash, the leftmost black-clothed roups His speed had indeed shocked Yan shi+ Yan shi+ was clear that his advantage laid in strength, and he was not suitable in dealing with those ere proficient in speed Just as he was conteo up, Miao Fei had already stepped forward With his left hand holding his soft sword, he goaded with disdain, “Letthieves like you are!”
The black-clothed e, but he narrowed his eyes when he looked towards Miao Fei He did not seeered by Miao Fei’s words and coldly said, “Be careful” His voice was hoarse and low, and once his voice faded, he ht of his opponent, and he got a great shock He was pretty confident in his own speed, but he had never expected that the small, slim black-clothedhis short sword around, and the surrounding was filled with after i, Miao Fei suddenly felt two streaainst his soft sword He hurriedly circulated the dou qi in his body to try and defend against the attack, but he was unable to stop the a dou qi An intense pain radiated from his hand, and his soft sword fell on the floor with another clang There was a chill against his neck, and the short dagger was already on top of his shoulder, with the blade al aura caused Miao Fei to not dare ht that his life would be over, the killing aura dissipated, and the black-clothed , “You’ve already lost”
Miao Fei stood rooted at the spot, with a pale face and cold sweat running down his back He had never thought that he would be unable to even receive a single attack
Yue Hen quickly walked up and grabbed hold of Miao Fei, while shooting a nod towards the black-clothedht had clearly displayed the vast differences in power between Miao Fei and his opponent Although Yue Hen was a little reat difference between the two of them
Not just Yue Hen was afraid, the others were also shocked by the attack of the black-clothed man Deep in their hearts, all of the that unexpected attack
Yan shi+ gritted his teeth Just as he was about to step up, he found that his shoulder was grabbed, and he turned around to see, it was Ah Dai Ah Dai nodded towards Yan shi+, “Big brother, letthe skill that the black-clothed man displayed just now, Ah Dai did not have any confidence as well However, once he thought of how the innocent and kind-hearted elves would be sold of by those black-clothed er rose within him, and he impulsively stepped out
Yan shi+ knew that Ah Dai’s poas siht that Ah Dai reater chance, and nodded, “Please be careful”
Ah Dai nodded in acknowledge Sword behind his back Both of his hands were gripping the sword hilt tightly as he walked up to the black-clothed man Faint white colored dou qi emanated fro aura “Please advise” Once he spoke the words, Ah Dai immediately circulated all the boundless true qi within his body He was no longer aware of the presence of the black-clothed h he was back within the ocean His radually increased, just like the build-up of endless waves surging towards his opponent
There was a glimmer of shock in the black-clothed ainst Ah Dai’s pressurising h his body was locked down by Ah Dai, and there was no chance for hio on the offensive If he moved, he would immediately be faced with Ah Dai’s thunderous strike The two of the each other, and no onetime
