Chapter 271 - So Awkward

Chapter 271: So Awkward

“Hello Little Sword God.”

“Where is Little Sword God going?”

When he came out, the Laoshan City experts greeted him. Lin Fan didn’t know what to say to them.

Couldn’t they just speak nicely to one another?

They could call him Lin Fan or Little Lin, but there was no need to call him Little Sword God as it felt a little weird.

Looking at the current situation they were too used to calling him that and it was impossible for him to ask them to stop.

He could only smile awkwardly at them.

Since that was the case, then he would just let them continue. Anyway, he was already used to it.

While walking to the border, he was thinking about when the Alliance experts would come again. He was really looking forward to it.

His cultivation depended on rage points.

Logically speaking, if he went to a sect to cause trouble, then that would also be good. But the key was that no sect offended him and he couldn’t find one for no reason.

As for those sects that had problems with him, he didn’t dare to go because they had experts. If he headed over to mock them, he might not even return and that would be a sad story.

“Alliance.”

Laoshan City thought about it and felt that after experiencing this Laoshan City matter, his entire person was elevated.

It was like he had broken away from the small quarrels and was walking towards righteousness.

Land of the Alliance.

The 36th Legion and the people in charge of Guangwu College were all here. The nine-star general looked solemnly at everyone.

“The final order given by the headquarters is that we must take down Laoshan City within 10 days. I hope that we can go all out and not hold back.” There were many people sitting around the round table. The nine-star general looked sharply at everyone and gave the final order.

One of the people from Guangwu College had a tough expression, “General, the natives have many experts, we are unable to go against them at all.”

The deputy general of the 36th Legion knocked the table and replied, “That is true. Laoshan City has too many natives and many experts. Just with the strength and number of us, it is too tough to break it open. We might even be wiped out. If the headquarters don’t send more experts, this mission is totally impossible.”

The nine-star general said, “This battle is for the entire Alliance. We have consumed so many resources and if we still can’t find a way, then we shall be destroyed. The Rich Land is our last hope and the headquarters will go all out, to use all their strength to occupy the Rich Land.”

Someone in charge of Guangwu College said, “General, we know this but it is tough with our strength. Unless the other areas can win and win a chance for us, this is totally impossible.”

The Rich Land had many other defense lines.

Not mentioning You City as it was the hardest to break, the others were okay and they had the confidence to do so.

The nine-star general looked at them with a profound expression and smiled, “If Hell Mountain and Ocean Emperor Island come to help, can you all do it?”

At that moment.

The room was silent.

“General, if that is the case, then there will be no problem. But why would they help?”

Everyone was really curious.

Hell Mountain and Ocean Emperor Island were not close to the Alliance headquarters and before entering the Rich Land, the headquarters treated these two powers as evil organizations.

The general got up and with a sharp gaze, said confidently, “When the Alliance faces danger, all chaotic powers will stop fighting and we will unify against the enemy. This was the oath that all the powers made when the Alliance was formed.”

Instantly.

Everyone got up and saluted, this was the righteous Alliance in their hearts.

What nonsense, what nonsense oath, who knew what promise it was?

Of course.

Whatever the general said was it and they couldn’t go against him, otherwise, he would deem them a traitor and no one would be willing to clear their name.

…

“Sword Head, you are making it easy to search for you.” In a forest, Old Ancestor Su walked over. In front was a thatched house; it seemed like Sword Head had built it recently.

“You are living here because you feel like you have sinned or are you avoiding reality?”

Sword Head was farming inside and when he heard the voice, he placed down the tools in his hand, “Country Protector, sorry for not welcoming you, please forgive me.”

Old Ancestor Su smiled, “Sword Head, what are you doing here? During the Fuzhou battle, you split open Nutao River and killed many. Have you suppressed your sword path?”

“Eh.” Sword Head acknowledged. It was obvious that he didn’t want to talk more about this matter. He felt like he was a huge sinner.

He had killed innocent people.

If those people who died deserved it, then he wouldn’t mind killing thousands or ten thousands of them. This could even purify his sword. However, when he woke up, it was too late.

“How old are you? Why is your will still so shaky? Aren’t you heading back to Sword Palace?” Old Ancestor Su asked.

Sword Head said, “No, I am not fit to be Sword Head, let me spend my remaining years here.”

“Hehe, remaining years, wishful thinking. With your cultivation, you can live for hundreds and even thousands of years. But do you know that in these 100 years, there are a few who can live to a 100? No one is willing to die, but do you know why they can’t live so long?” Old Ancestor Su asked.

Everyone became stronger undoubtedly to live longer. But some things were forced upon one and one had to do it. So once one got stronger, one had more responsibilities.

Sword Head didn’t say anything. He knew the reason why so many experts died early.

“I don’t want to talk more to you. If you are really guilty, then go defend the border cities to fight against the Alliance.” Old Ancestor Su said fiercely.

“To spend your life here and let others help you defend against the Alliance, is that the life you want? Wishful thinking.”

Sword Head said, “Understood. I will leave right away to defend against Alliance. I hope that Country Protector can take care of Sword Palace.”

Old Ancestor Su said, “I want the whole sect to go.”

Although Sword Head was guilty, he wasn’t stupid.

If the whole Sword Palace went, then didn’t that mean there was a chance they would be wiped? It was enough if he went, but Country Protector couldn’t be too much.

“Country Protector, don’t you think this is a little too much?” Sword Head asked.

Old Ancestor Su smiled, “Too much? No. Someone is silently contributing. Once the defense line breaks, then there is nothing too much or too little. However, I can understand you, 20 years ago you protected Sword Palace like your baby, so how can I ask you to send them to death.”

“Okay, it is good that I found you. Think about it, I won’t force you to do anything.”

“Goodbye.”

Old Ancestor Su turned around and left without saying much more to the Sword Head.

He was heading somewhere else.

To him, the times were changing and it was different from before.

There were less people willing to help. Only when people smacked them hard would they try to fight back. Before things affected them,they only wanted to keep their strength and not be affected.

…

Laoshan City.

“Come out, come out quickly.”

“I have waited for so long, so why aren’t you attacking?”

Lin Fan walked around and muttered like he was tempting Alliance members to fight.

He wanted to raise his strength.

He even wanted to reach Peak Void Realm right away, half a day to Five Element Realm and then after a day, he would be invincible.

When that happened, it would feel good.

Who would dare to offend him?

What Alliance? He would just head over and slash their elders. How overbearing would that situation be?

“Little Sword God, what are you muttering?” A middle-aged man walked over. He really respected Lin Fan and praised him a lot.

Lin Fan looked at him and smiled. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to talk to him, but that he didn’t know his name.

There were so many people in Laoshan City and he had just arrived, so how would he know everyone?

He seemed to sense the situation and laughed, “Little Sword God, just call me Old Shen.”

Old Shen’s hairstyle was not bad; it looked like cup noodles. He had a thick mustache above his lips and altogether it looked a little weird.

“Okay, Old Shen.” Lin Fan smiled. This was the first time he conversed with an expert. For him to talk to people who young people usually shouldn’t have been in contact with felt different.

Like how young people were all kids but he became a boss, the people he was in contact with were those who ordered expensive wines.

“Old Shen, you can call me Old Lin or Small Lin, this Little Sword God nickname sounds weird, so why don’t we change it?” Lin Fan said.

Till now, he still regretted it.

Why did he have to play with the sword?

To be called Little Blade God was better than this.

Old Shen flicked his hair and said, “It sounds good Little Sword God, after a while, why don’t we remove the little and you will just become Sword God. That would be even more amazing.”

Lin Fan and Old Shen walked alongside one another. He felt like there was a need to talk about this.

He realized that Old Shen had no anticipation of the future. When he asked, he realized that Old Shen didn’t think that he would survive.

Lin Fan had never experienced this before, so he couldn’t imagine how dangerous it was. Hearing what Old Shen said, the best outcome would be if they chased the Alliance members and more than half of them survived.

This death rate was a little high.

…

After a long while.

Lin Fan and Old Shen went their separate ways. He walked around alone and the barrier was like a water veil. When he touched it, it was like touching water, but he was unable to head through; it was like a power was blocking him out.

He estimated that one needed strength to break it.

He grabbed the barrier and used True Essence. He hollered and he wanted to try. But as expected, there was no movement at all. From start to finish, it was like nothing happened at all.

“Eh! As expected, I thought too much.”

Lin Fan decided to stop as he was asking to be insulted.

In the end, it was because his cultivation wasn’t enough.

If he was strong enough, that grab would have ripped it open.

“Alliance experts haven’t appeared, so they must be planning something bad.”

Bad people were like this in movies.

A short period of calm to numb the enemy and then when they were numb, one would strike to catch them off guard.

This was an old plan.

But since they were still so well prepared, he could only say that they thought too much.

There was a river that flowed through Laoshan City. This was their life river; their rice-cooking water and drinking water came from here.

A sneaky person walked out. He looked left and right and after confirming there was no one, he walked in front of the river.

Alliance attacked Laoshan City but was unable to take it down. Towards Laoshan City, they had many ideas.

Poisoning was a good one.

He took out a bottle with a red liquid inside. In the Alliance, there was a nice name for this, Red Blood of Darkness. The blood of dark living beings was extremely poisonous.

“Hehe.” He smiled as his snow-white lips glowed in delight.

Alliance needed their contributions and he would give them a chance to invade.

Just a bunch of lowly natives actually managed to block them. That was just too much.

They definitely couldn’t accept that.

After opening the bottle, he released the terrifying dark blood into the river.

He believed that the blood would definitely poison them.

To defeat the Laoshan City natives, the Alliance thought of many ideas. He had thought of a plan that many didn’t have high hopes about.

His family was a poison-using family and no one paid attention today. Thus, he was the last heir to the family.

The blood mixed into the river water, causing the color to change. It became really bright before slowly recovering back to its original color.

“What a beautiful color.”

“This is art, true art. I will prove that poison can do anything.”

He was in deep thought, this should be enough to poison them all right?

However, he wasn’t too sure whether this was enough. After all, he had never used poison and he usually poisoned chickens or ducks.

Maybe, this was the reason why there were fewer people who used poison these days.

He reached out and touched the water before placing it in his mouth.

At that moment.

His eyes opened wide and his eyes felt like they were about to explode. His face turned red and his skin became red too.

A white fog rose up from his head.

His legs straightened and he fell to the ground.

A crow flew across his head.

How awkward.
