Chapter 347 (1/2)

Through The Back Door

As he approached the guards frantically locking the back door, Shao Xuan didn’t slow down, instead, he sped up.

If it were possible, Shao Xuan would have escaped over the wall but it didn’t seem possible. Not only were the walls tall and out of his range, but they were also polished smooth too. If he were to use a tool to jump over the wall, he would need to slow down but if he did, it was highly likely that he would get caught.

If he couldn’t jump over the wall, he only had one choice - that was to force himself through the door. Luckily, they only locked one layer of the doors and not the other.

Looking at the figure charging towards them, the guards near the door could feel their hearts pumping with adrenaline. They couldn’t see his face as he was running at such a pace their eyes couldn’t catch-up. They were sure it was only a person and not a giant but they still felt as scared as they would be if they were facing a beast.

This wasn’t even the arena, there’s only one opponent now. Don’t worry, do not fear, it is all going to be fine. When the guy gets closer, we will just go at him or if he chose to jump over the wall, the other guards will shoot him down.

Closer, closer.

The guards were twitching from nervousness, their eyes focusing on the figure, the shouted in their minds, No way! He’s coming towards us!

There were actually two layers of the door but in a rush, the guards only locked one because they thought it wasn’t necessary, the first stone door would be enough to stop him. However, at this moment of uncertainty, they didn’t have the time to lock it even if they wanted to.

As Shao Xuan rushed towards the door, he maxed out the totem power he had in his body. Even though it never stopped pumping, his reserved powers were spent, again and again, allowing it to flow through his body though it wasn’t like a volcano that was near eruption. The lava was kept in, slowly accumulating waiting for the right moment to erupt. Sho Xuan’s coursing power was doing the same.

Every place he stepped on would crack under his weight and the cracks got larger as he approached the door.

The guard who stood in front of the door ran away upon witnessing his wrath. There was no way he could block Shao Xuan.

When the timing was right, Shao Xuan let out a strong and fierce howl. Just like a human missile, he aimed straight at the door and punched.

Boom!

It was as if the ground shook.

Following a soul shocking roar, the stone door caved as it couldn’t handle the pressure from the punch. A clear hole was formed in the middle. The person who caused such a scene had already run through it.

The guards surrounding the door all faced the door as they stared in shock at the hole. The hole was as scary as a bite from a beast but this person who did this was much scarier than a beast!

A guard wiped the sweat off his face, remembering the force that was used to knock the palace door. His ears were still ringing from the forceful encounter, his soul still shivering from the sound.

Outside the palace, a row of archers were stupified by the scene. One moment they were staring at the door, the next moment they heard a bone-chilling war cry that was accompanied by stones flying about. Then, they saw the figure of the person they were supposed to catch run past them. It all happened too fast.

It wasn’t only the guards around the back door, there were some other people hidden outside the palace. They were near the houses by the palace, stationed there to observe the palace. They were not from Snow Plains City.

When they heard the noise, they wondered what happened there, suspecting that their partner who broke into the palace had got caught. Before they came, the young master had told them how to avoid the silknoses- if their partner failed again, they wouldn’t dare to meet the young master anymore. If they failed, they could only give up on the mission.

However, they didn’t expect to see someone burst through the back door of the palace.

Everyone on the lookout was astonished.

He actually broke through the back door of the Snow Plains City palace!

Where the heck did this tribesman come from?!

At the time, the Snow Plains lord was in his quarters.

He was too disturbed by the ruckus outside to take a nap.

He held his anger as he listened to the report from his men, the expression on his face turned scarier by the moment. An oppressive cloud covered the palace, no one dared to step out of place.

Within the desert cities, people from Snow Plains City were fairer. At that moment, the Snow Plains Lord was only red in the face with his veins nearly popping out. He had lost too many battles and this intruder was the straw on the camel’s back.

After reporting to the lord, the slave trembled as he stood there, waiting for the lord’s orders.

“There were so many people but not a single guard could catch that person?” said the lord, each word as if a growl.

“He… h-he… was too fast…” replied the slave, the end of the sentence much softer than when he started speaking, fearful of the lord’s gaze.
