116 High-tier Body Fortification Technique, Break the Formation! (2/2)
However, arms of the first three monks were shot by arrows. Their actions were no longer as agile as before. It was impossible for them to continue maintaining the staff formation.
The gaze of the leader of the monk turned fierce, and he glared at the person who had attacked them just then.
”Iron Shirt!”
The monks then noticed that the person who had been struck by their three companions had managed to regain his footing after only taking a few steps back. His facial color was the same as before, and his voice was very loud. He did not seem to have been injured at all.
Even with a body fortification technique at Grandmaster Realm, no one should not have such a terrifying defensive, right?!
”You're just a frog in the well!”
A cold snort reached their ears. The person from before jumped up and pounced on them again.
”Go back to where you came from!”
The monks turned around on high alert. This time, they used all their strength to push the man back.
If a normal player was struck in this manner, no matter how good they were, they would have sustained severe internal injuries.
However, the man had managed to neutralize all the force after taking three steps back. He looked up slowly to reveal a smug and savage expression.
The thirteen staff-using monks' expressions changed drastically.
”A high-tier body fortification technique.”
”You have some intelligence at least.” The person smiled coldly before his smile fell away. In its place was a grim an unhesitant look. ”Attack!”
The archers shot their arrows at the same time.
The thirty or so Blessed Realm players attacked as well.
The monks' combat abilities had been drastically reduced. They had lost the protection of the staff formation, and they could no longer withstand the encirclement from three or more players in the same realm as them. Besides, there were also professional archers who launched sneak attacks at them from the side.
In less than ten moves, the thirteen staff-using monks were killed one by one. Their blood dyed the carriage and tribute they had protected for days.
”The people from Shaolin Temple should be here soon. Get the tribute box and go!”
The group moved incredibly quickly. Once they got rid of the thirteen staff-using monks, they quickly gathered the items and left a mess on the ground. Soon, they disappeared without a trace.
Right after the group left, the unkempt middle-aged man from the pavilion appeared next to the corpses of the thirteen staff-using monks. He surveyed the area with a scowl and shook his head while sighing nonstop.
”Darn it all, if I knew that these monks were so useless, I would have gotten rid of the archers for them!”
Once he finished speaking, he cast a glance in the direction in which the group had left. He hesitated over whether he should chase after them or not.
They had around fifty Blessed Realm players. Their operation showed uniformity and planning, which meant that they should be men from some clan or assault group. It would be very difficult for him to snatch the tributes from a proper organization.
While the unkempt man pondered over his choices, his expression suddenly changed. With a tap on the ground, he vanished from his spot at the speed of lightning.
The sound of horse hooves thundered!
”Giddy up!”
”Surround them!”
The group who had just received the tributes rushed back. Dust flew behind them. A group of men with an astonishing presence who looked like bandits chased after them on horseback, and there were many of them.
The well-built man with the black attire ran at the front, as if there was wind under his feet. He did not even dare to look back. There was fear and anger on his face.
'Darn it all! I wouldn't have said anything if we ran into bandits from Forest Union right after we got the tribute… but why is there a Mystical Realm NPC among them?!'
