Chapter 914: The Lawless Zone
The Two Rabbitmen looked bewildered. What was this merchant up to? And what was this purple portal?
Of course, while they might not recognize the transmission portal, it didnt mean they were fools. When Shang Yang cried out, Quick, someonee! they immediately grasped the situation. This thing was probably a treasure that could summon help.
Treasures were versatile and boundlessly creative items. No one knew when an enemy might produce some kind of extraordinary treasure, so the Rabbit Heroes never adhered solely to theirmon sense. They remained vignt and cautious about the enemys artifacts at all times.
The rabbit that had blocked their path came floating over, sword aimed at Shang Yang!
The strike was incredibly swift. Shang Yang, being an ordinary merchant, had no chance to evade. However, he didnt need to, for just as the attack was about to connect, a metallic figure emerged from the transmission door. It was d in heavy te armor, so thick that it seemed impregnable. This figure emerged, standing perfectly between the merchant and the rabbit.
Consequently, the rabbits swift and agile strike met the irond figures body.
ng!
A light, tinkling sound echoed as the sword tip struck the figures Demon Steel te armor, failing to pierce it. The rabbit hesitated for a moment, then, guided by its instincts from Eastern martial arts, immediately retracted the sword and moved back to defend against a potential counterattack. In an instant, it floated backward about four to five meters.
However, the irond figure didnt counterattack. Instead, with an exaggerated tone, it eximed, What the heck? Why did a rabbite over and stab me with a sword? When did I provoke a rabbit?
Shang Yang took cover behind the irond figure and said, Kante, Kante, the opponent is a bandit robbing rare ores, a case of thieves within thieves.
As it turned out, the irond figure was Kante Chengguang. He was tasked with guarding the transmission portal today, awaiting contact from individuals worldwide who were desperately seeking ores. Upon seeing the door open and hearing Shang Yangs shout, he had rushed through, only to be struck by a sword right away. He was dumbfounded. Fortunately, his exceptional Demon Steel te armor provided formidable defense, or he might have been in deep trouble.
Kante turned to Shang Yang and said, What? Thieves within thieves? And rare ores? Hey, doesnt that mean we can hehe
Shang Yang was sweating profusely. Dont face me when you speak. Turning your back on the enemy is dangerously careless!
Before he could finish his sentence, the same rabbit floated over again. Its sword emitted gleaming brilliance as it swished through the air, striking at Kante multiple times.
ng ng ng ng!
A series of rapid metal-on-metal sounds resounded, yet Kante remained unscathed.
After executing a series of sword techniques, the rabbit realized its attacks were ineffective. Startled, it noticed Kante turning towards it and swiftly retreated, floating backward about four to five meters.
Kante remarked, This person is quite the character. How can they just start hacking away at me without even a greeting?
He spoke in thenguage of the Kingdom of Gran, anguage that the opposite rabbit had noprehension of. All they knew was that this irond fellow kept muttering. Shang Yang had to trante on the side, saying, Great Rabbit practitioner, my friend here is saying youre a strange person for attacking without a greeting. Its quite unreasonable.
The rabbit who had blocked their path remained silent.
The rabbit furiously retorted, Dont think you can be reckless in front of me just because youre wearing an iron box. Watch this.
With a swift motion, the rabbit once again floated over, its sword aimed at Kantes face, specifically targeting his eyes! No matter how well his helmet protected him, it wouldnt guard his eyes. The Eastern sword techniques were agile and convenient for targeting critical points like these.
This time, Kante didnt foolishly stand still. While he appeared as goofy as ever, he was, in fact, a seasoned veteran by now. Over the past few years, he had fought in various battles, facing Mondras Army, the Norma people, the Desert Kingdom, and demons you name it.
His current goofy appearance was partly an act; he was no longer genuinely foolish.
When someone stabbed his body with a sword, he acted crazily and clueless. But when someone aimed for his eyes, he wouldnt just stand there. He suddenly lowered his body, moved quickly, and lunged forward with a savage charge, forcefully using his shoulder pauldron to strike the rabbits chest. Despite donning heavy armor, his ability to employ such agile techniques was quite impressive.
The rabbitpletely didnt expect an irond figure to be so agile. It was momentarily stunned, but its chest was already struck. The impact sent it floating backward.
Kante burst intoughter. Haha, you fool, hows that for a hit?
However, before hisughter subsided, the rabbit, after flying several meters in midair, rotated half a circle andnded gracefully, its feet firmly on the ground. Despite Kantes forceful collision, the rabbit remained unharmed.
This rabbit was clearly dressed in ordinary clothing. Kante expressed his astonishment. I charged with such force, yet he wasnt injured?
Beside him, Shang Yang whispered, He is a true Qi practitioner from Big Tang. As long as their protective Qi isnt broken, its incredibly difficult to harm them. Dont be fooled by the absence of armor; theyre not fragile.
Kante asked, Wow, can I interpret this as them constantly having a shield magic on them?
Shang Yang nodded, confirming, Exactly.
The rabbit that had blocked his path wore a stern expression. Though Kantes charge hadnt broken through his protective Qi, they felt the potent force of the attack. This person was undoubtedly no ordinary nobody. ording to the Eastern system, this person could already be considered a figure within the martial world.
The rabbit snorted coldly, People from the Western regions shouldnt meddle in our Eastern affairs.
Shang Yang tranted the statement. (From here on, its tranted by Shang Yang.)
Kante looked left, right, front, and back, taking in his surroundings. After aplete scan, he turned back to Shang Yang and asked, Where are we?
Shang Yang responded, In the middle of the Jinghong Mountains!
Kante chuckled, Ah, I see. So, this is the Lawless Zone. Well then, this ce is right in the middle of the Jinghong Mountains. It doesnt belong to your Big Tangs territory. How did I be involved in your Eastern matters?
The rabbit was momentarily at a loss for words. After a few seconds, he retorted angrily, Fine, whatever. In the end, well settle this with our actions.
As he spoke, he suddenly stomped his feet, and with a swift motion, he floated off the ground. His body traversed an extensive distance in an instant, and with a single sword strike, he killed the rabbit with the cloth bundle on its back. The rabbit with the bundle had never anticipated an attack from this person. Caught off guard, they didnt even have time to retaliate before meeting their demise. Subsequently, the rabbit who had blocked their path reached out, retrieved the bag from the dead rabbits back, held it in his hands, and turned to run.
