Chapter 921: Chapter 921 Danger in the Woods
"Who’s sticking their nose where it doesn’t belong!"
Upon hearing the voice, several men warily eyed Baron Grey.
"To not even spare a child, you lot are rather ruthless!"
A sweet feminine voice echoed.
But, her face could not be seen clearly.
One could only glimpse her figure from a distance, which seemed quite nice.
Curvaceous.
But they were not in the mood to appreciate it.
Committing murder for loot, they feared nothing more than being discovered.
Once exposed, the only option was to silence the witness!
"Stop playing games! You two, grab her!"
The leader spoke viciously.
A star-level badge was even hanging on his chest.
Though there was only one star, many didn’t even qualify to possess such a badge.
"Go!"
The two subordinates exchanged a glance and charged into the woods!
Shrring!
A glimpse of cold light flashed past.
The two stood still, motionless.
"What are you doing! Go on!"
The leader furrowed his brows.
But his men didn’t respond.
They just stood there.
Without a twitch.
"Keep an eye on her!"
After ordering his subordinates, the man strode forward.
"You two..."
Thud!
He barely pushed them, and the two fell to the ground, stiff.
Eyes wide open.
Large amounts of blood oozed from their necks.
Death by a single strike to the throat!
"This..."
Whoosh!
The next moment, the cold, bone-chilling blade of a Longsword was pressed against his neck.
Behind the man, a young girl emerged.
Black silk twin ponytails.
Quite enticing.
To the unaware, she might have been mistaken for someone’s kept mistress.
"Who are you!"
Even with a sword at his neck, the man still sounded confident.
"Does it matter who I am?"
Nelson raised an eyebrow and said, "What matters is, how could you kill a young girl?"
Hearing that Julius Reed was about to have a grand battle with Charmy Kims, Nelson had rushed to the shores of Brighton Lake, eager to see for herself what kind of person the other was.
The Martial Arts Association.
After all, it represented the orthodoxy of martial arts in the world.
Even though it was self-proclaimed.
But, Nelson did not take it lightly.
Daring to make such a grand gesture, notorious throughout the world, one must be well-prepared.
No matter what, she was the Dragon King’s fiancée.
It was necessary to scout out the situation in advance.
Having observed today, she acknowledged Charmy Kims was indeed formidable.
Being a five-star Martial Artist and vice-president of the Martial Arts Association, his skills would be respected even in the sects.
She had intended to inform Julius Reed after returning.
But who knew she would encounter such an incident halfway through.
The people of Azure Mountain were warlike, yet kind-hearted.
No matter what, Nelson couldn’t just watch idly as a young girl died at the hands of a villain.
"You wretched woman, I advise you to mind your own business! Otherwise, I’ll make sure you die!"
The man, though with a sword at his neck.
Regained his composure after a brief shock, still acting tough.
For one simple reason.
He was of noble birth.
And he wore a Martial Artist’s badge on his chest.
"Give me one reason not to kill you."
Nelson spoke indifferently, "If... I find your reason satisfactory, maybe I’ll grant you a quick death."
"Do you know who I am?"
The man’s eyebrows furrowed, and he sneered, "I am a Disciple of the Martial Arts Association! That elder on the shore of Brighton Lake, he’s one of ours. If you dare harm even a hair on me today..."
"Hsss..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the man inhaled sharply.
The cold, bone-chilling Longsword on his neck was already stained with blood.
Nelson gently exerted force with her right hand, slowly driving the blade into the man’s flesh.
"Are you... are you insane?"
The man’s throat moved, for the first time feeling so close to death!
The Martial Arts Association.
An exalted presence!
To any martial artist, they had to bow and scrape.
Step aside and show respect.
But today.
A sword was poised at his neck, slowly cutting in.
"I’m a member of the Martial Arts Association!"
The man shouted desperately.
A one-star Martial Artist, already a standout.
But...
He dared not make a move.
The other’s Longsword was simply too fast!
"I know."
Nelson said indifferently, "Excuse my frankness. You claim to be the orthodox path of martial arts, yet you commit such despicable acts, your skins are really thick."
She had witnessed Claude Reed fight until his last breath.
Naturally, she knew what had happened on the surface of Brighton Lake.
To enhance the influence of the Martial Arts Association, they even didn’t hesitate to take another’s life as a price!
Inhuman!
"It has nothing to do with me, ah, it’s the higher-ups who asked for it, we’re just carrying out orders..."
The man said with a crying voice.
But the next moment, he suddenly made his move!
Clang!
Nelson flicked her Longsword, directly knocking away the dagger!
One stroke to the throat!
Thud!
The man fell to the ground.
His eyes remained open in death.
Blood splattered on the golden one-star badge on his chest.
The irony was extreme.
"Don’t... don’t come any closer..."
With their leader dead, the remaining two had no idea what to do.
They looked at Nelson fearfully, their hands shaking as they held their swords.
If a one-star Martial Artist had no power to resist, what chance did they have, those without any star-ranking, to survive?
"Give me back my grandfather!"
The little girl who had been subdued broke free from her restraints and snatched the Longsword from the man’s hand!
Puchi!
The blade pierced through the abdomen of the Martial Arts Association man!
Ruthlessly pulled out!
"Give me back my grandfather!"
Puchi!
Another sword thrust!
The snowy white blade was covered in fresh blood.
The little girl’s eyes were also blood-red.
Thud!
One man fell.
"Even if I’m going to die, I’ll take someone with me!"
The last man raised his Longsword and chopped at the little girl!
Madness!
Swoosh!
His sword hung in the air.
In this life, he would never get the chance to swing it down.
Nelson’s weapon, unbeknownst to all, had been thrown out of her hand, transfixing the man’s body to a tree.
Thud!
The last one fell.
In the woods, all members of the Martial Arts Association were killed.
"Let’s go, come with me."
Nelson walked over and gently picked up the little girl.
"Sister..."
The little girl dropped the blood-stained Longsword in her hand and cried loudly.
Her grandfather was gone.
"Don’t cry."
Nelson gently wiped her tears, "Your revenge, someone will take it for you."
Having said that, she carried the little girl and turned to walk into Baron Grey’s forest.
"You think you can just leave after killing a member of my Martial Arts Association?"
When this voice sounded, Nelson’s body instantly tensed up!
A terrible aura assaulted her, overwhelming everything!
She was also a Martial Artist, and she knew the speaker was no ordinary individual.
Swoosh!
Before Nelson could turn around, a sharp whizzing sound came at her swiftly!
Bang!
In a critical moment, she stepped on a tree, flipping her whole body in the air!
Crack!
A dart brushed past her clothing, cutting the tree Nelson had just stepped on in half!
"Good reflexes."
From the woods, an elder slowly emerged.
To call him an elder was somewhat of a misnomer, he appeared more like a middle-aged man.
After all, for Martial Artists, their appearance aged very slowly.
"Who are you!"
Nelson shielded the little girl behind her and asked coldly.
"You’ve just killed a Disciple of my Martial Arts Association, and now you’re asking who I am?"
The elder walked with his hands clasped behind his back, a smile spreading across his face, "Since ancient times, debts must be repaid, a life for a life. You killed a disciple of my Martial Arts Association, so if I kill you, it’s not excessive, right?"
"We’ll see if you have that ability!"
Hiss!
Nelson drew her Longsword, her eyes icy cold.
