Free Web NovelChapter 509: Chapter 141: Taking Action! Let’s See Who Can Get Past Me
By now, all I could do was passively block with my blade.
Just like that, caught off guard for a moment, Roy was sent flying by a single slash!
"Boom!"
His body slammed hard onto the ground.
But relying on his Postnatal Martial Artist physique, Roy quickly got back on his feet.
"Fuck!"
He cursed under his breath, glaring viciously at the Embroidered Uniform Guards in front of him.
Clearly, they were all weaker than him, and yet they managed to hack him flying—what the hell, are these Embroidered Uniform Guards monsters?
"Boss!"
At the same time.
Because Roy got slashed and sent flying, even though he didn’t seem hurt,
the scene still made a bunch of the water bandits, who’d been shouting just a second ago, all shut up for a moment. Their eyes started to look a little scared too.
After all.
If even their boss couldn’t handle these guys, if they kept on fighting, they’d probably just be throwing their lives away.
Becoming a water bandit in the first place was just to live better, you know.
Don’t think this crew are all about loyalty or whatever.
When there are benefits, sure, everyone sticks together, but the second things get dangerous, I bet they’ll all run faster than rabbits.
Right now none of them had bolted yet,
but after exchanging a few glances, they could all see the retreat in each other’s eyes. Everyone’s feet kept inching back, looking like they were ready to bail the moment things went south!
"Shut the fuck up, I ain’t dead yet!"
At this moment, Roy heard his men making a fuss and barked at them without bothering to be polite.
As far as Roy was concerned,
as long as he was alive, he could always recruit more men, however many he wanted, so he never really cared about these underlings.
After yelling at them,
Roy glared at the Embroidered Uniform Guards in front of him, but didn’t rush in to attack again.
With his back to his own boat, he just shouted out loud,
"Boss, if you don’t make a move now, I’m gonna get killed for real!"
Of course, there was no way he was actually dying yet.
Roy was a smart guy. He only picked a fight in the first place because he thought he could win.
Now that things had obviously gone sideways, if he really had to keep fighting, Roy was already planning an escape—diving into the water and running for it.
Now,
it was only natural for the guy in the cabin to finally act. No way Roy was dumb enough to actually fight the Embroidered Uniform Guards to the death himself.
"???"
As soon as he said that,
not to mention the Embroidered Uniform Guards,
even Roy’s own crew all looked confused as hell, clearly not understanding what exactly their boss was yelling about.
They glanced at each other, all looking lost.
Only a few of Roy’s closest men caught on, a knowing look flashing in their eyes.
No wonder.
Of course their boss wouldn’t stick his neck out this far unless he had something up his sleeve!
"Take him!"
The group of Embroidered Uniform Guards around Roy exchanged a look, and didn’t waste any time.
They called out at the same time, and charged at Roy again.
They had no clue if Roy still had some trick left, but at a moment like this, just chopping him down made the most sense.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
Right after that,
blades flashed one after another, coming down quick at Roy.
"..."
Goddamn it, am I really about to get thrown under the bus here?
The boat cabin behind him was dead silent, and the Embroidered Uniform Guards were already rushing right at him.
Roy’s face turned ugly—he was really debating if he should just bolt now. Was he really supposed to just sit and wait to die here?
Thankfully!
Just as Roy’s feet were about to retreat,
the next instant!
A wave of Palm Force burst out from the boat cabin, blasting the Embroidered Uniform Guards’ blade energy apart.
"Whoosh!"
Watching the Embroidered Uniform Guards get knocked back, Roy couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, he managed to hold on a little longer!
If he’d run just then, that guy might’ve attacked him too, huh!
"Sir!"
Roy saw the middle-aged man fly out of the cabin and land at his side.
Roy instantly clasped both hands respectfully, face full of deference.
The water bandits following Roy didn’t dare say a word either. It was their first time realizing their boss actually had a boss too! freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"Sir, these Embroidered Uniform Guards are a pain in the ass. I slipped up and fell into their trap!"
Roy figured he should explain himself.
Getting beaten by a bunch of guys with lower cultivation levels than you? That’s embarrassing as hell.
If this guy starts thinking Roy’s weak and useless, what if he’s the first to get killed?
Luckily,
the middle-aged man clearly had no intention of making a move against Roy. His eyes calmly swept over the Embroidered Uniform Guards—he could tell they were operating with some kind of Array.
But the middle-aged man was plenty confident.
Being able to defeat Roy, a Postnatal Realm guy, by jumping a level was already something to brag about.
But as for beating him, someone at Innate Perfection? No way in hell.
"Have your men keep charging into the city—these Embroidered Uniform Guards are mine!"
"Understood, sir!"
Now that the other guy was willing to step in and hold off the Embroidered Uniform Guards,
Roy had zero issues with that.
With the Embroidered Uniform Guards out of the way, Roy doubted there was anyone left in Lishui City who could stop him now.
"Brothers, charge with me!"
Saying so, he led the charge straight into Lishui City.
The water bandits still seemed a little uncertain,
but then they thought, as long as they broke into Lishui City, there’d be glory and riches for the taking—they’d have more than they could ever spend. Every one of them immediately lit up with excitement.
