729 Man in Black Visits (2/2)
After half a minute, a loud and boisterous laugh rang from within Mu Clan's branch and broke the calmness of the man in black.
”A friend of ours has come from a distance. It is a great delight for us!”
The man in black frowned again. He could sense a delight from the person's laughter, as if he had been waiting for his arrival for a long time, along with a great deal of confidence.
The man in black's heart sank without his own knowledge.
On the day he mastered his martial arts, there were two people he was unwilling to challenge in the game—Happy and One Emperor!
No one else ranked under those two could enter his sights.
But ever since his loss against the unknown man in black at Yangzhou Port, his confidence was ruined. Even so, he never got rid of his plan. With his momentum of defeating multiple top-class elites from Class One Hall and Towering Palace, he challenged quite a number of Dragon Rank elites and remained victorious until he was killed by Chivalry Sect's Red Dust.
He tasted his second defeat there!
The man in black came to Mu Clan to meet the second strongest of Mu Clan, Silver Mask Duke, and use his fame to propel himself to being one of the top players in World of Martial Arts so that he could be acknowledged by the masses.
In the beginning, his plan was to pull off his mask once he defeated the elites from the four top-class sects and call out to the people so that he could build the fifth great sect.
But during his first fight, while he did manage to defeat the elites from two top-class sects, he lost to another man in black, and due to his own arrogance, he did not reveal his identity.
Then, he helped Red Dust Duke, who had been an obscure presence, by pushing him to the center of attention.
The battle at Mu Clan was his final chance!
Once he won against Silver Wolf, he would reveal his identity. Since he would have gained the glory of winning against the elites from three top-class sects, countless elites in the game would respond to him, allowing him to gather quite a strong force under him to fight for his place in World of Martial Arts.
But if he lost…
In truth, the man in black never thought about that possibility. But once he came to the branch, it suddenly flashed in his mind like a cold breeze.
But the man in black's willpower was very strong. After the brief moment of his mind wandering, he quickly recovered. His gaze turned cold while he stared at the man with the silver mask walking down the stairs with a majestic gait.
The man in black said nothing. He frowned again.
He sensed an incredibly strong presence of a soldier from Silver Wolf. He was different from a normal player. Every step seemed to be measured, and the distance between them was all the same. His footsteps were steady, and there was a flame burning in his cold gaze. His breathing was rhythmic, and he inevitably drew people to his pace.
”You're that mysterious man in black who defeated multiple elites from Class One Hall and Towering Palace at Yangzhou Port?”
Silver Wolf walked down the stairs and stood thirty-two feet away from the man in black. Not a single hint of emotion could be seen on his face.
There was a myriad of thoughts racing through the man in black's mind, and they were all very complicated. Hence, there was no way he would let Silver Wolf take control of the conversation.
”You're Silver Wolf, the second strongest in Mu Clan?” he asked in a cold voice.
Silver Wolf smiled indifferently.
He tapped against the incomplete silver mask covering his face. ”I'm indeed Silver Wolf, but I wouldn't dare claim that I'm the second strongest in Mu Clan.”
”Let's cut to the chase. Today, I came here to challenge you. You're free to choose the rules of the fight. Do you want to fight until first blood, or do you want to fight with everything we have?”
”You're the guest, you choose,” Silver Wolf answered calmly.
No matter what, Mu Clan's branch had just been set up, and it was at the center of the hurricane in which plenty of people were interested. It was the reason why the man in black's arrival and Silver Wolf's voice attracted a lot of spectators.
Whoosh!
Countless torches were quickly lit in the empty area around them.
The surroundings of the branch were lit up so brightly that it was as if daylight had arrived!
