Chapter 131: Fight for the Brocade Box

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Boom!

A loud sound suddenly rose from the east!

Immediately after, quite a number of players saw a huge hole on the east wall of the temple. Three black figures shot out from the dust that rose up to the sky! One of them was in front of the two others, and he was incredibly fast. He cast the players who did not know what had happened outside far behind him.

“Those in front, hold him back!”

“Don’t let him take the brocade box!”

People roared and shot through the broken hole to chase after the three figures.

It was only at that moment that the players outside understood what had happened!

Their minds worked quickly, and they locked their sights on the person in front who hugged a very expensive and grand-looking brocade box in his arms. The gazes of players outside the temple instantly burned with envy, and they could not help but chase after it.

“Hand over the stuff!”

“Attack!”

“Damn it!”

There were obstructions in front of the black-robed man, and there were pursuers behind him. He could not help but smile bitterly. However, he still freed up one hand to bring out his weapon. An astonishing power erupted from his bronze-red longspear, and he knocked away a few of the players’ weapons with brute force. He also used the momentum created to fly forward. With a few jumps, he escaped from the encirclement and left his pursuers to his two companions behind him.

“Sect master, hurry up and go!”

“Leave these people to us!”

The two people very professionally chose to buy time for the person with the brocade box.

The person who took the brocade box belonged to one of the three big groups—Bloody Blade Sect. The trio consisted of two leaders and one vice sect master. The person in the lead was Vice Sect Master Blood Fiend.

He had thought that when they entered the small room, they would definitely be engaged in a fierce fight with the person with the brocade box.

But not only was the room empty, the brocade box, which was the only thing on their mind, just sat in the middle of the room in a stately manner. It was incredibly eye-catching!

What rendered him even more speechless was that one of the walls had cracks, as if someone had struck it violently before. The weakened portion was incredibly obvious.

Very naturally, the vice sect master of Bloody Blade Sect could not hold himself back. Once he rushed into the small room and saw the situation inside, he grew rash, and without even thinking, he scooped up the brocade box, resolutely broke the wall with one punch, and escaped through the hole.

“Send a messenger pigeon to our brothers, have them provide us reinforcements at the spot we’ve planned!”

Blood Fiend charged forward alone while knocking a few people away to break out of the encirclement. He looked incredibly relaxed as he did so.

The two leaders behind him were quite extraordinary. Their saber techniques were fierce, and as they fought, they continued retreating, not allowing their pursuers to easily bypass them. The dozens of Bloody Blade Sect Members who came out of the temple also held back a lot of people. In just a few seconds, Blood Fiend completely vanished into the depths of the forest.

“Kill them!”

Vast Ocean Sword Sect and the other sect felt as if they had been slapped on the face. They were furious because of how humiliated they felt, and they immediately became murderous.

The alliance that they had just built up was completely shattered at that moment.

The two groups of people and the other players in the area turned their weapons on the Bloody Blade Sect members. For a period of time, they were surrounded by enemies. They had to fight against numerous players alone, and screams of pain rang in the air.

The two leaders also died in the hands of powerful players from the two enraged sects.

“After him!”

“Don’t let him take the brocade box far away!” a man from Vast Ocean Sea Sect ordered in a fierce tone.

Hundreds of players quickly collected the spoils of war littered everywhere on the ground before chasing after Blood Fiend like a swarm of bees.

During that period of time, no one noticed a blue-robed young man who held a Hundred-battle Saber. He mingled among them with a relaxed expression while examining Blessed Realm players with powerful presences.

He remembered their faces quietly in his heart!

That person was naturally Happy, who had received Master Xuan Kong’s True Ten Dragon Styles.

Even before everyone invaded the temple, Happy knew that it was impossible for him to take away the brocade box under the gazes of hundreds of players. He gritted his teeth and placed it in the small room where he played the game of Go with Master Xuan Kong. He placed the box in a very eye-catching spot, then returned to the room to the right, where he had stayed before.

Just as he expected, when the players rushed in, they only noticed the room to the left, which was where the brocade box was shown to be on the map, causing them to overlook the fact that there was still a room to the right.

When all the people’s attention was on the brocade box, Happy quietly mixed into the crowd without alerting anyone.

Of course, Happy would not so generously give up on the brocade box he had obtained through some trouble.

He had spent a few days rushing to Mount Song, which was three thousand miles away from where he had originally been, and had killed a Mystical Realm bandit leader to get it. If he ended up just handing it to someone else as a gift, he would not be able to make peace with himself.

He mixed into the group and counted carefully.

There were more than one hundred Blessed Realm players around him. The rest were Gate Realm players, but he did not need to worry about them. If he wanted to seize the brocade box and disappear from the people’s eyes again, he would need to get rid of at least twenty Blessed Realm players.

‘I have to think of a way to get rid of some of them.’

Happy lowered his head and thought. He cast a glance at the rapidly moving red dot on the map before his gaze suddenly landed on a region where the red dot was headed. ‘Hmm? That place is…’

Happiness bloomed in his heart. Without batting an eyelid, he slowed down and simply allowed the players to rush past him with the loud sounds of their sleeves rustling.

When the final player moved past him, Happy changed his direction without any hesitation and headed northeast.

*****

Whoosh! Whoooooosh!!

The wind roared by his ears!

Blood Fiend charged forward while way ahead of the others, feeling very excited and in high spirits!

Even though some of his brothers had been sacrificed, they had bought him precious time. In the blink of an eye, he covered hundreds of feet. He was confident that as long as he could maintain the distance, his other brothers would soon receive a messenger pigeon and rush to the spot they had agreed upon beforehand to meet up with him. Once all their people gathered together, they would only need to stay in a quiet place where no one could find them until night arrived.

Blood Fiend was very confident in his lightness skill, which was at the ninth realm. He believed that no one would be able to catch up to him before he met up with his people.

“Heh…”

While he rushed forward through the forest, Blood Fiend continuously stuffed medicinal tablets into his mouth to restore his qi.

But soon, his excitement and enthusiasm were replaced by a solemn and uneasy look.

A faint presence of a wild beast suddenly appeared in the refreshing air ahead. He could also vaguely hear low roars coming from the area in front of him.

‘Not good!’

His expression changed, and Blood Fiend instinctively wanted to circumnavigate the area.

But when he thought of the pursuers behind him, he knew that the distance between them would shorten if he took a turn.

“I’ll have to risk it!”

Blood Fiend gritted his teeth and did not change his direction. He continued heading forward without slowing down.

A few seconds later, the vague roars from the beasts disappeared.

Blood Fiend’s face had gone slightly pale because of his nerves, but some color immediately returned to his face at that moment. ‘I sure am lucky.’

But right when he thought that he had avoided a disaster, the forest suddenly shuddered violently.

Whoosh!

A tiger with yellow and white fur rushed out from the bush beside him!

Right when Blood Fiend wanted to react to the situation…

“ROAR!”

A tiger’s roar that was as loud as thunder exploded by his ears!

The powerful sound wave and momentum almost ripped Blood Fiend’s heart to shreds. He froze up, and his movements stopped for a moment.

Then, a tragedy occurred!

Blood Fiend watched a black figure swiftly pounce in front of him and occupy his entire field of vision. Then, a huge force instantly struck his chest!

Bang!

Blood Fiend was struck so violently that he flew into the distance while coughing up blood. The brocade box slipped out of Blood Fiend’s arms and landed in the distance.
