Sword Among Us Chapter 464 – : A Single Boat

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yangjiang County was a large city that was close to the sea. It was located to the south, where Chivalry Sect reigned strong, but there were also some branches from Towering Palace in the area. At the same time, there were also alliances formed by various local sects. There were many people who carried weapons with them on the streets, and it could be said that all sorts of good and bad people were mixed together in that place.

There was a restaurant near the port of the city. Since the port could lead straight to Beijing and all the other places in the coastal area, it became a place where many martial artists landed. Many players liked taking a break there, and as they rested and ate, they tried to see whether they had a chance to find out some new information or trigger a quest.

On one day, an old woman in strange clothes, a beautiful girl with an ethereal presence, along with a teenage girl with an incredibly terrifying purple scar on her face arrived in the restaurant.

This group instantly attracted the attention of countless martial artists.

The restaurant was soon filled with people.

“Golden Flower Granny…”

“Knew it. And since Zhou Zhiruo and A’li are here, it means that Golden Flower Granny wants to get a boat to sail out to sea.”

All sorts of whispers rose and fell in the restaurant as the people discussed the matter while their gazes wandered over the trio.

Golden Flower Granny paid no mind to the gazes of the people from the restaurant and just prodded the restaurant with her huge Golden Flower Cane.

“Waiter!”

“Coming.”An employee who looked rather smart came before the old woman in a subservient manner. “Dear customer, would you like to eat or rest?”

Golden Flower Granny brought out a gold foil and said slowly, “This is for you. Go get me a boat as well as a boatman. I want to go to the sea. If you do well, the balance will be your reward.”

“Thank you, I will definitely perform your task properly.”

The waiter was instantly transfixed by the gold foil. He was so happy that he quickly agreed to it and, while holding the gold foil properly, ran out of the restaurant.

Golden Flower Granny bent her back and coughed.

A’li quickly came forward and rubbed her back while she brought out another gold foil and asked the manager to bring out wine, food, and stuffed buns.

“Alright, we’ll get them ready!”

The manager took the gold foil with both hands and personally came forward to serve them, as if he was serving his own mother.

A number of people in the restaurant watched this indifferently.

*****

“Big Brother Night Rain, they’re here!”

A group of men with simple clothes were gathered together not too far away from the restaurant while waiting for work. There was suddenly a shout, and they looked toward a man with a boorish face in the group.

The person who had called them was the waiter who had taken the gold foil from the restaurant.

“Good job!”

The man in the lead was known as Night Rain Follows Wind. He was well-built and muscular, and he had thick eyebrows and big eyes. They were lively, and when he heard the waiter’s words, he stood up, and the heroic presence of a man from the wild was revealed.

“Brothers, we have work to do!”

The group quickly prepared a ship to set sail and waited on it.

Soon, Golden Flower Granny, Zhou Zhiruo, and A’li arrived at the port under the waiter’s lead. They were followed by a large group of martial artists.

Those people came for Golden Flower Granny. Quite a number of them were from Beggar’s Sect and from the six great system-allocated sects. Among them were also powerful players. They knew that Xie Xun and Dragon Saber were on Spirit Snake Island, and no one wanted to give up on them.

“Cough! Cough, cough, cough…”

When Golden Flower Granny arrived near the ship, she suddenly stopped, bent her back, and began coughing violently.

The hundreds of players behind her stopped and did not move forward.

Some of the smart ones ordered their people.

“Go and prepare a ship.”

At that moment, the face of Golden Flower Granny darkened. She suddenly turned around, and while she shook her head, she swept a cold gaze over the various martial artists behind her.

“When I go back to the island, I don’t wish for many people to follow me.”

When she said the last few words, her tone changed, and the chilling killing intent made the expressions of the martial artists change. They instantly realized that the situation was bad.

“Hurry up and leave!”

But it was too late…

Golden Flower Granny suddenly jumped into the air with her hunched body. The distance of dozens of meters between her and the martial artists was instantly reduced to zero, and she shot to the area above the group while airborne!

She swung her Golden Flower Cane in the air, and it created a golden arc.

A vast amount of power came charging down with the force of an avalanche!

Many martial artists only sensed a strange and powerful power charging at them. They coughed up blood the next instant, and their consciousness was destroyed. They fell to the ground and did not stand up again.

Golden Flower Granny attacked a few times, and at least seventy people died at the port!

The martial artists fled without looking back.

Thud!

Thud!

A number of martial artists who wanted to turn around and flee had golden flowers “stuck” to their heads, and they fell with a thud.

Night Rain Follows Wind, who stood at the port, sucked in a sharp breath. He exchanged a glance with his brothers on the ship, and their expressions became much more solemn.

“Cough, cough, cough, cough…”

When Golden Flower Granny saw the other people staying far away from her due to respect, she began coughing violently again. With A’li supporting her, she boarded Night Rain Follows Wind’s ship.

The anchor was raised!

The ship broke through the surface of the water and went to the sea from the river.

When Golden Flower Granny’s ship left into the distance, some people began to board the other ships in the port while they cursed up a storm.

“Hurry! Hurry!”

“Set sail, don’t lose sight of them!”

“Set sail, my foot! Do you think there’s an engine in the boat?”

“What are you saying?”

There were quite a number of people at the port, but they all belonged to different factions of power, and they refused to give in to each other.

Quite a number of people had anger on their faces while they fought for ships.

“I was the one who boarded this ship first!”

“I was the one who saw it first!”

“Damn it! Why don’t you go back and look at your dad?!”

The sounds of weapons being drawn suddenly rose in the port. Sword glares and sword forces swiftly destroyed the peace of the river near the port.

Splash!

The players fell into the water, and the port descended into chaos.

A few ships that stopped near the port were destroyed by the players’ fighting. Then, those involved in the fight all received a notification from the system deducting their money. The situation was incredibly chaotic.

At that moment, someone slowly came out of the restaurant where Golden Flower Granny had rested. He was dressed in green and had a Bamboo Hat over his head. He was incredibly thin and frail-looking, but also had the air of a wandering swordsman.

“Who are you? How dare you cause trouble in this place?!”

The leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guards appeared outside the port. He had a scimitar in a long sheath with silver edges, and he looked incredibly noble and mighty. He stood near the port and pointed at the group of martial artists who kept on fighting.

“Guards! Catch them all and send them into prison!” he shouted out.

Boom!

Hundreds of Embroidered Uniform Guards rushed over from everywhere!

There were groups of Six Doors constables with shackles in their hands. They came with a mighty presence, and the players at the port instantly panicked. It was only then that they remembered that they attacked someone in the city and were seen by Embroidered Uniform Guards and the people from Six Doors. It was already impossible for them to buy a ship and set sail.

“Run!”

“Jump into the water!”

The sound of water splashing could be heard nonstop.

There were also some who were smarter than that. They used their lightness skills and fled into a good distance on water. They did not suffer as tragic of an ending as the people who were pushed down by the Embroidered Uniform Guards after they jumped into the water helter-skelter.

Even though the port was in chaos, some people still noticed that the man with the Bamboo Hat and green robes seemed to have predicted all this since a long time ago. He slowly moved through the chaotic crowd and arrived near the ships that had not set sail at a brisk pace, even though he seemed to have been travelling slowly.

“Head to Spirit Snake Island.”

“Alright.”

The ship captain’s sorrow turned to joy, and he quickly released the anchor and set sail.

Splash!

The surface of the water was torn through.

The unfamiliar person did not even turn his head around. He just stood at the bow while the port grew further and further behind him!
