Chapter 443: Fight! (1/2)
“The Globe Merchant Group has grown arrogant to this extent? Deploying so many people to influence the major event of a kingdom? If this spreads, I’m afraid your business will take a blow!” Frowning, Bai Xiaofei made his final resistance.
He was not afraid of fighting, he was afraid that the casualties couldn’t be controlled once a battle broke out…
When taking on a Grandmaster in addition to a group of Master and Proficient Rank puppet masters, one of them even being a rare Spirit Stream, it was impossible to hope for zero casualties.
“No, no, Tang Bing is not a member of our Globe Merchant Group. We just accepted his entrustment to help him avenge his family. As for his relationship with Ancient Yue, I don’t think I need to elaborate, since you probably know more about it than this old man does,” retorted Elder Zhang with a smile.
Although this reason was far-fetched, it still worked just as well. The Globe Merchant Group only needed an excuse, and this one qualified!
As for future consequences, they could completely eliminate the negative influence by manipulating the public. What’s more, what happened here today perhaps would not even get out at all.
“Young man, you are a talent of Starnet Academy with a bright future ahead of you. There is no need to have a fight to the death in this small place. Why don’t we give each other face and stay our hands?” Elder Zhang offered calmly, stunning the onlookers.
But Bai Xiaofei chuckled.
“You are too courteous, senior elder. However, compared to my own life, what I want more is to see the difference between the people outside and Starnet!” Bai Xiaofei raised his hand slightly, and Blackie and Huskie appeared beside him, staring in alarm at the people of the Globe Merchant Group.
As for Qin Lingyan’s group, they still hadn’t made an appearance so far. Tang Bing scanned the area but found nothing.
“In that case…” spoke Elder Zhang. He didn’t have to finish the sentence. His people already rushed towards Bai Xiaofei’s side and a wedge-shaped wind shot at Bai Xiaofei’s heart!
“Fair Replacement!”
At that critical moment, Chu Yue stepped out from hiding and launched his puppet. His tried-and-tested ability only made Elder Zhang’s body freeze a little, but this brief period was enough for Bai Xiaofei.
Sliding to the side, Bai Xiaofei avoided the wind blade from hitting his vitals as it only pierced his arm. Dodging the fatal attack, he didn’t escape and instead used this rare opportunity to hook his right arm towards Elder Zhang’s neck.
If this move succeeded, Bai Xiaofei had the confidence to send even an Exquisite Rank puppet master to his death!
“Expulsion Wind!” Aware of the danger, Elder Zhang decisively used his second skill. A strong wind out of nowhere blew away Bai Xiaofei, Blackie, and Huskie.
“Fair Replacement, Strong Shield!”
An energy shield appeared in front of Bai Xiaofei and saved his life. Chu Yue wasn’t called a golden puppet master of the Defense Stream for nothing.
Chu Yue’s successive moves attracted a wave of hostility. Four people of the enemy party rushed towards him in unison. At that moment, Commander Kang led his guards to stop them.
“Don’t forget whose territory you’re on!” roared Commander Kang as he struck back a Master Rank puppet master with his blade. “Royal and Garrison Guards, give our Starnet friends full support! The Globe Merchant Group wants to mess with our Ancient Yue. It is time to fulfill your oath to serve the kingdom!”
The soldiers in the area gave a loud cry, then fearlessly and fiercely flocked towards the people from the Globe Merchant Group.
Regarding quantity alone, the number of Royal Guards and garrison troops added up to at least ten times that of the Globe Merchant Group people. Moreover, the most important thing was that these soldiers had the courage to give up their lives!
The gap in quality was filled with quantity and momentum. For a moment, people of the Globe Merchant Group were as if mired in mud and unable to help.
