631 Clash of Blood (1/2)
Outside Sky Demon Branch was Eleventh Crane, and he was dressed in archer gear and had a quiver full of arrows. He jumped high into the air and landed on the wall of the branch. Then, he bent his knees, and before quite a number of Mu Clan members' surprised glances, he sat down cross-legged to stare into the distance without moving.
Not far from him was a person with his back straight. At that moment, he was commanding a group of Mu Clan members to lift a row of logs tied together to form an X shape and weighing 1,100 pounds. It was used to set up the second defense line around the branch.
The first row was used to declare the area belonging to the branch, and the second row was the area in which Mu Clan members could move around. It could be considered as an outdoor training ground.
After going through months of baptism and training in West Region, Rampaging Dragon was no longer the rash hothead that he was while he was in university. His footsteps were steady, and his eyes burned bright. When he walked, there was an air of magnanimity that was formed after he accumulated experience, and while he was still not good with words, he appeared to be awe-inspiring.
There were quite a number of Mu Clan members who were around twenty to thirty years old under him, but they showed no signs of dissatisfaction when they acted in an orderly manner under his orders.
This time, he was personally called by Happy because he was capable of managing the branches in West Region in an orderly fashion, and he was the strongest among Mu Clan members there. Rampaging Dragon's strength never waned, but he was not just the strongest among Mu Clan members in West Region. He had also gradually made quite the name for himself.
The elites from the southwestern countries had provoked him multiple times, but most of them were forced to retreat...
It could be said that Rampaging Dragon's improvement had surpassed that of Phoenix Dances and many other high-level ranking members in the original Beautiful Robes Faction. It came to the point that Phoenix Dances often had to rely on Rampaging Dragon to help her in many areas.
The destruction of Beautiful Robes Faction had caused Phoenix Dances, Butt Shaker, Puffy God, Tea Words, and the others to become bolder after their disgrace. Rampaging Dragon was also like that. He was never someone who was good at expressing himself, but he worked hard and contributed to the clan quietly. He used a way to which no one would pay attention and accumulated his strength. Then, slowly, he rose to power among the people from Beautiful Robes Faction.
Not only did Phoenix Dances and the rest place more value in Rampaging Dragon as time passed, even Thunderous Battle and Happy heard about his deeds repeatedly.
The reason Happy moved Rampaging Dragon to the incredibly important Sky Demon Secret Cave was because he had the idea of having him serve as the master of Sky Demon Branch!
After all, as Sky Demon Secret Cave became open to the public and grew in popularity, there would definitely be countless martial artists who would gather in the place, and more quarrels would occur. Rampaging Dragon's quiet and level-headed personality fit Happy's requirements, and he was sure this youth could display Mu Clan's awe-inspiring presence the best!
Thud, thud, thud, thud…
The rapid sounds of horse hooves came from outside Sky Demon Branch, and they sounded like thunder.
The Mu Clan members who were busy with their training raised their heads and looked outside!
They saw more than twenty built and dark strangers charging toward them and showing no signs of slowing down. After seeing that, quite a number of Mu Clan members in the front row turned red with anger!
Most of them had transferred from other inland cities and knew of Mu Clan's might and glory. Because of that, when they saw people rushing toward them in such an impolite manner, they were displeased!
A few people tapped against the ground and jumped outside the wall formed by the logs. They shouted at the people who were charging toward them.
”Mu Clan's branch is here! Whoever you are, stop!”
”Get down from your horses!”
Those people attacked while they spoke.
Clang! Clang!
As the clear sounds of them drawing their weapons rose, they became ready to fight.
Rampaging Dragon, who stood behind the second row of logs, glanced at the two dozen or so people and frowned a little before suddenly shouting something that no one understood.
”Hyud!” [1]
The group of dark and thin men charging over had mocking expressions on their faces, but when they heard the incredibly familiar word, they tugged at their reins and slowed down. They stared at Rampaging Dragon, who stood with an eye-catching presence behind the crowd.
When the dark and thin men recognized Rampaging Dragon, they were stunned, but they quickly exchanged glances while on the backs of their horses. They laughed savagely, swung their whips against the butts of their horses, and increased their speed swiftly!
The group rushed over like a storm.
”How preposterous!”
”How dare you cause trouble in Mu Clan?! Do you want to die?!”
”Brothers, attack!”
