Sword Among Us

Chapter 326: Elite on the Dragon Rank

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The swift and fierce arrows brought with them shrill whistles as they shot through the air. They went through the comparatively powerless but incredibly dense arrow shower facing them and stabbed into ten players’ shields, which were not very exquisite and sturdy. The remaining arrows sank into the players who swung their weapons in an attempt to block them. Most of those players were sent flying far behind the group before getting pinned to the ground!

Chaos rose in the headquarters of Jade Fox Palace...

However, Jade Fox Palace’s crazed counterattack was not ineffective. The arrows that filled the air came through the gate and over the walls. They were like a dense swarm of locusts, and there was not a single space for anyone to dodge.

The archers from Class One Hall were struck head-on by an attack that was as powerful as a hailstorm.

The monstrous volley of arrows caused Class One Hall’s camp to show signs of stopping in its attack. Quite a few unfortunate players did not have time to block their faces, and they were injured on the spot.

“Split into two groups! Fire!” a loud voice shouted out in the headquarters.

Before the first volley had completely ended, the sound of bowstrings being released rose again, and there was no end to them!

Whoosh, whoosh...

The volley of black arrows might have become much thinner, but the damage and the intimidating factor was just as great. Class One Hall’s archers found it hard to fight back calmly when there was a hailstorm charging at their faces. Countless arrows came rushing straight at them. If anyone else were in their place, they might not even have the ability to hold their bows calmly.

With just a few continuous rounds of arrows, Jade Fox Palace gained the upper hand. They threatened the people from Class One Hall repeatedly, and the light of some people’s body fortification technique’s becae much dimmer!

Jade Fox Palace had home advantage. Once they decided to defend their headquarters with all they had, they managed to bring out the full force of their advantage in numbers!

The people from Jade Fox Palace outside the headquarters, on the streets, and on the roofs watched with surging emotions. They felt inspired.

“As expected of Jade Fox Palace.”

Monk with Thick Eyebrows had not expected that dozens of elites with high-tier bow techniques would lose to a group of archers with only low-tier bow techniques. He scowled and quickly realized that if the fight dragged on, he would lose all the advantage they had gained in the beginning. He gritted his teeth and released the order to launch the most direct form of assault.

“Second echelon, attack!”

Boom!

In a flash, more than one hundred people shone with the light of their body fortifications! They brought out their weapons and took the risk to rush through the dangerous volley of arrows, blocking it regardless of the costs. They charged forward madly while suffering from sharp pain.

‘They want to charge through with force!’

A few people died on the way, because while they rushed forward at full speed, they naturally could not protect themselves completely. Their body fortifications could not withstand the damage from so many low-tier bow techniques with high realms. Around a dozen people who led the charge were pinned to the ground.

Class One Hall had finally suffered casualties!

Monk with Thick Eyebrows felt anxious as he watched.

Even though the losses Class One Hall suffered could be ignored when compared to Jade Fox Palace’s losses, Class One Hall was very strict when it came to recruiting members. They had to have the highest qi cultivation realm at that moment in the game, and they had to have at least one high-tier martial art at Grandmaster Realm. Any person’s sacrifice would cause Class One Hall to suffer a setback in the future.

Even though that made it seem as if they were belittling Jade Fox Palace and treating them as inferior, to Class One Hall, it was the truth.

Once they broke through ninety-eight feet empty ground, the situation changed.

The arrows that shot from within the headquarters could no longer threaten the people who had already reached the walls.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Dozens of Class One Hall members jumped on the walls one after another.

With one tap against the ground, they rushed into the players of Jade Fox Palace at a speed that the people in the headquarters could not react to the situation.

“Strike them down!”

“Kill them!”

The commands finally became slightly disorderly. Those shooting arrows continued to shoot arrows, while those who were in charge of drawing their weapons drew their weapons. But soon, a number of them were killed by the Class One Hall members who came pouncing on them.

They swept through everyone in their way!

Most of the normal members died the moment they faced Class One Hall elites. Possessing high-tier martial arts and high-tier masterpieces was the strength and foundation of Class One Hall!

“Get lost!”

A loud roar came charging down like a sword from out of the void. Right when one of Class One Hall members struck down two Jade Fox Palace sect members, he suddenly sensed a powerful wind attacking his body, and when he looked up, there was already a bloody hole in his chest.

Thud!

His body fell to the ground, and a middle-aged man with grief and anger on his squarish face appeared beside him. He looked around, and the longsword in his hands quivered madly and whined angrily! The dozens of Jade Fox Palace members who appeared after him were elites in Mystical Realm. They charged out of Jade Fox Palace and went in front of their brothers to block the enemies. Their weapons clashed against each other, and the battle descended into a very anxiety-inducing state for a short period of time.

“Big Brother Lu!”

“Big Brother Lu, you’re back!”

“Thank goodness!”

The morale of Jade Fox Palace increased greatly.

The person who came was Lu Zhentian, the vice palace master of Jade Fox Palace. His Universe in Sleeves could kill people in an intangible manner, and he was known as the second strongest person in Shennongjia. His strength was only second to that of Palace Master Absolute Nonsense.

Lu Zhentian looked around him. More than one hundred and fifty of his brothers had already died. Their blood flowed in rivers, and the longsword in his hand whined angrily!

“Hmph! Some Class One Hall you are!”

Before he even finished speaking, he moved next to a Class One Hall member. The man did not have the time to react before the longsword released a dazzling light.

The Class One Hall member’s sight became completely blurry!

Once the sword light vanished, Lu Zhentian was standing behind him. Blood dripped slowly from his longsword.

“You did something as despicable as ambushing our foundation while our palace master is not around. This is Class One Hall! This is the style of the top class sect, Class One Hall! I’d like to see just what other methods you have!”

Lu Zhentian had killed two people right after appearing. His presence caused Jade Fox Palace’s momentum to increase greatly.

“Vice Palace Master Lu, you’re wrong in that regard...”

Just when Jade Fox Palace was ready to raise their forces to counterattack, a relaxed and carefree voice came from the walls in a lackadaisical manner. It attracted everyone’s attention.

A man dressed in a black shirt and pants and with two sabers on his back sat on a wall in an unruly manner. He had one of his legs swinging in the air while he said, “What does your palace master being absent have to do with us? Has our hall master ever appeared? This is just us taking revenge for around a dozen of our brothers from a branch sect of ours. Heh, four hundred of them had to go up against eight thousand of your people. When it reaches into anyone’s ears, no one will be pointing fingers at Class One Hall!”

“Whoever you are, say your name!” Lu Zhentian’s was steely. He could sense a baffling pressure from the stranger.

The person laughed heartily before he landed on the training field in the headquarters with a nimble flip. Once he landed steadily, he walked to Lu Zhentian at a calm pace. “You can call me Evil Wolf...”

“Evil Wolf?” It was clear that it was the first time Lu Zhentian had heard the name.

Evil Wolf smiled warmly and while sixteen feet away from Lu Zhentian.

His shoulders shuddered, and his sabers naturally landed in his hands with a clang! His actions were incredibly beautiful and smooth!

His gaze focused then, and a heated look appeared in his eyes as he stared at Lu Zhentian’s face. His voice was slightly hoarse. “I’ve just become ranked at the ninety-ninth place on the Dragon Rank. Please give me some advice.”
