LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 40 – Dare to provoke our Iron Armor Gate
In just a short while, three disheveled young men came running out of the forest not far from Terra Su, with a group of fierce Martial Practitioners hot on their heels.
"Chase them!"
"Snatch the Mystic Jade Fruits from their hands!"
"How dare they steal the Mystic Jade Fruits that our Iron Armor Gate had its eyes on! They must have a death wish!"
The three young men, with nowhere left to run, saw Terra Su and quickly called out to him, "Sir, please lend us a hand and drive these villains away. We will reward you handsomely!"
Before Terra Su could respond, the group of fierce Martial Practitioners had already caught up and surrounded Terra Su and the three young men.
"Tsk, I thought we'd run into some big shot in the Rising Sun Mountains, but it's just a kid. Kid, get lost, this has nothing to do with you," one of the fierce men sneered upon seeing Terra Su.
The three young men finally got a good look at Terra Su and realized he was just a teenager. Their hearts sank. In their desperation, they had instinctively sought his help without realizing he was much younger than them. Now, their faces looked even more miserable than if they were crying.
"Forget it, little brother. We don't need you to save us. Just run away quickly!" one of the young men said with a tearful face.
One of the fierce men suddenly let out a cold laugh, "Heh, since you ran into us, it's too late to escape now! Kid, blame your bad luck for running into us."
"None of you move. I'll handle this. I'll kill this kid first!"
A burly man wielding a large steel knife charged at Terra Su, a sinister smile on his scarred face.
Swish!
The young man standing closest to Terra Su couldn't bear to watch and turned his head away, unable to witness the impending bloodshed.
He soon felt warm blood splatter all over him, but the next moment, an eerie silence fell around them, as if time had stopped.
Curious, he turned back and saw Terra Su still standing there, unharmed, holding a broad longsword in his right hand.
The fierce man with the steel knife was now lying on the ground, a headless corpse with blood gushing from his neck.
Gasp!
The young man couldn't help but take a sharp breath, completely shocked by the scene.
The group of fierce men were also in disbelief, standing there in stunned silence.
A one-eyed man suddenly shouted, "Kid, how dare you kill my Brother Sun! Prepare to die!"
He swung a pair of spiked hammers and charged at Terra Su with murderous intent.
In a flash, Terra Su's longsword was raised high again, and before the one-eyed man could react, the sword light had already slashed down!
The one-eyed man didn't even have time to make a move before he was split in half by the sword light!
Thud! The two halves of his body fell to the ground in despair.
At this moment, the scene was deathly silent.
"Weren't you going to kill me? If you have the guts, come at me," Terra Su said coldly, sheathing his sword.
The three young men were stunned, looking at the seemingly fifteen-year-old boy in disbelief.
The fierce men from Iron Armor Gate couldn't believe their eyes and shouted, "Kid, you dare kill our people? Do you know who we are?"
"We are from Iron Armor Gate! You killed our people, and there won't be a place for you within a thousand miles!"
Iron Armor Gate!
Hearing these three words, the three young men trembled, their faces immediately showing panic!
Everyone knew that in the Cloud Abyss Empire, the largest forces were the "Sects," with one "Sect" every three thousand miles.
Below the "Sects" were the "Gates," with several "Gates" every thousand miles. Iron Armor Gate was the largest "Gate" within a thousand miles.
It was said that the Gate Master of Iron Armor Gate had a cultivation level of the tenth layer of the Condensing Origin Realm, and there were several Elders with cultivation levels above the seventh layer of the Condensing Origin Realm. It was a very powerful force. Now that they knew the people Terra Su killed were from Iron Armor Gate, how could the three young men not panic?
After all, the people from Iron Armor Gate were killed while chasing them, so they would definitely be held responsible.
Terra Su, however, remained indifferent, "Iron Armor Gate? Never heard of it!"
The remaining four Martial Practitioners from Iron Armor Gate were instantly furious, "Kid, you've lived long enough!"
"Brothers, let's kill him together!"
Just as they were about to advance, the leading Martial Practitioner from Iron Armor Gate raised his hand to stop them, his expression serious, "Earlier, Brother Sun and Brother Huo were both killed by him with a single sword strike, without any chance to resist."
"Wu Senior Brother, you mean..." the others asked.
Wu Senior Brother, the Martial Practitioner from Iron Armor Gate, said solemnly, "Brother Sun and Brother Huo both had cultivation levels at the eighth layer of the Inducing Qi Realm. For this kid to kill them with one sword strike, he must have a cultivation level above the ninth layer of the Inducing Qi Realm!"
Upon hearing this, the others' faces changed. They knew that each layer was a world of difference. Even if the four of them, all at the eighth layer of the Inducing Qi Realm, combined their strength, they couldn't suppress a Martial Practitioner at the ninth layer of the Inducing Qi Realm. This wasn't something that numbers could solve.
Wu Senior Brother glared at Terra Su and said, "Kid, you killed two of our Iron Armor Gate members. We will remember this grudge!"
With that, he called to the other three, "Let's go!"
However, just as they turned to leave, Terra Su said calmly, "Didn't you just say I should blame my bad luck and that you were going to kill me? Now you want to leave?"
"Kid, what do you mean?" The four Martial Practitioners from Iron Armor Gate, not ones to swallow their anger, turned back.
"Kid, we were willing to spare you out of kindness. Don't push your luck. Do you really think you can keep us here?"
"Maybe you're a Martial Practitioner at the ninth layer of the Inducing Qi Realm, but if we four at the eighth layer fight you to the death, you might not gain any advantage!" Wu Senior Brother said with a grim face.
"Moreover, we are from Iron Armor Gate, and our Young Master is nearby. If you want to kill us, you'd better think about whether you can afford to provoke Iron Armor Gate!"
Wu Senior Brother thought these words would make Terra Su back down. But to his surprise, Terra Su remained indifferent, not even blinking, let alone showing any fear.
After Wu Senior Brother finished speaking, Terra Su said calmly, "Are you done?"
Wu Senior Brother was taken aback.
"If you're done, then die."
As soon as Terra Su finished speaking, the Cang Hai Sword was unsheathed with a clang!
