Chapter 1429 I Fulfilled The Task


    It turned out that the woman in white didn''t expect that Rocky''s Frozen Wind Dagger could actually


    resist her Cyan Specter Whip. Thus, she waved her whip again and attacked him continuously to


    overwhelm him.


    At the same time, Rocky controlled the Frozen Wind Dagger and tried his best to resist her barrage of


    attacks. Of course, he was just deliberately pretending to have difficulty in dealing with her. After all, he


    couldn''t let Hannah see through his real strength.


    "It''s all right. You don''t need to push yourself too hard! Run away by yourself when you can!" Hannah


    shouted as she saw that Rocky seemed to be struggling to resist the opponent.


    "What are you saying? I won''t leave you. I will protect you with all my might. Just hang tight!" Rocky


    bravely dered.


    "You..." Hannah was actually moved upon hearing that. She didn''t expect that Rocky would go to that


    length just to save her.


    "Ha! Such brave words. Let''s see how much you can still hold on, brat!" the woman in white roared in


    anger.


    "Take this! Cyan Specter Whip!"


    Suddenly, her Cyan Specter Whip shed with a demonic light, and the power it contained instantly


    increased by several times. Then, she quicklyshed the whip and aimed it at Rocky.


    Seeing that, Rocky immediately brandished the Frozen Wind Dagger to guard the attack. The impact


    almost made him step backward and also created a small crack on the dagger. As his weapon


    weakened, the Cyan Specter Whip prevailed and hit his body.


    However, Rocky wasn''t fazed. Instead, he stood firmly in front of Hannah even after receiving a direct


    hit.


    Annoyed at his persistence, the woman began to wave the whip even faster. She scourged Rocky


    mercilessly, but he didn''t budge. After a moment, his whole body was covered with terrible cuts and


    bruises.


    Hannah couldn''t help but gasp in shock. She couldn''t take it that Rocky willingly sacrificed himself just


    to keep her safe.


    "Damn it! You''re a tough nut to crack!" The woman didn''t expect that Rocky would be able to endure all


    her strikes. She saw the determination in his eyes, saying that he would rather die than submit. In


    exasperation, her body trembled as she was consumed by the thought of killing him. Even though it


    was against the rule of the Robber Regiment, she intended to act on her bloodlust.


    But in the blink of an eye, when the woman lost her focus for a second, Rocky, who was supposed to


    be unable to move vigorously anymore, suddenly rushed forth. The woman was caught off guard, but


    her fast reflexes enabled her to take action. However, before she could use the Cyan Specter Whip


    again, Rocky had sessfully made his way in front of the woman.


    At that moment, the woman clearly saw a wicked smile appear on his face as if he was totally a


    different person. Before she could even react, she felt that Rocky instantly emitted a spiritual aura that


    far surpassed hers, suppressing her for a brief moment. Immediately after, he drilled his finger into her


    shoulder.


    The woman wasn''t able to resist and felt a piercing sensation on her right shoulder. The pain inflicted


    on her was so tremendous that she had almost dropped the whip in her hand.


    "What the hell..." The woman was bbergasted that Rocky managed to hurt her even after taking all of


    her previous attacks. Moreover, she clearly felt just now that Rocky''s strength rose to the point that


    obviously exceeded hers.


    As she felt rather humiliated by that, she flew into a rage and quickly pped Rocky using her left


    palm. Recognizing that, Rocky took advantage of the opportunity and pretended that he was sent flying


    backward.


    The woman got rather confused because she knew that her palm failed to reach Rocky.


    Then, Rockynded beside Hannah and stayed on the ground on one knee. As he acted like he was


    catching his breath, he smiled bitterly towards her and said, "Miss Hannah, I''ve tried my best."


    "I know. You did a good job!" Seeing how Rocky tried his hardest to defeat the enemy for her sake,


    Hannah began to have a different opinion of him.


    When the woman in white saw that Rocky had been suffering from the injuries that he sustained earlier,


    she tried to endure the injury on her right shoulder and nned to take Hannah down while she could.


    However, before she could make a move, another shadow suddenly flew over.


    The woman immediately felt that the sword aura that the figure emanated was rather intimidating. Her


    face almost turned ghastly pale, realizing that she wouldn''t be able to beat the new opponent in her


    current state. Thus, she quickly fled and disappeared into the forest.


    "Miss Hannah! Are you hurt?" At the moment, the figure suddenly called out and emerged before them.


    Apparently, it was Ramon.


    "No, I''m fine. It''s all thanks to Basil. He risked his life to protect me all this time," Hannah replied as she


    looked at Rocky, who was still having a hard time standing.


    Hearing that, Ramon narrowed his eyes, feeling confused and surprised at the same time.


    "Captain Ramon, I fulfilled the task that you gave me. I didn''t let you down!" Rocky eximed as he


    pretended to be relieved.


    "Task?" Ramon quickly furrowed his brows, wondering what Rocky was talking about.


    "What else? The task to protect Miss Hannah! Well, I got injured in the process, but I still kept her from


    getting hurt," Rocky replied as he winked at Ramon.


    "When did I ask—" Obviously, Ramon didn''t understand what was going on, so he wanted to clear


    everything up. However, before he could continue asking, Hannah interrupted,


    "Ramon, thank you!" She looked at Ramon with such grateful eyes.


    "But Miss Hannah, I..." Ramon didn''t know what to say. He clearly didn''t remember assigning such a


    task, so he could only assume that Rocky was making things up.


    "Captain Ramon, I''m actually pretty banged up. Can you help me get up?" Seeing that Ramon was still


    in a daze, Rocky quickly butted in and changed the topic.


    Ramon looked at Hannah first before turning to Rocky. Then, he finally helped Rocky get up on his feet.


    "I''ve put in a good word and actually helped you leave a good impression on Hannah. So, I guess we


    should be good friends from now on. Don''t let me down," Rocky whispered to Ramon''s ear after he


    managed to stand.


    When Ramon heard that, his eyes widened. He was taken aback that Rocky made such a daring


    decision and acted on his own. But because they were still in Hannah''s presence, he didn''t say a word


    and nned on settling the matter after they sessfully got back.


    Then, when Rocky, Ramon, and Hannah returned to the ce where their wagons had been


    ambushed, it seemed that the Robber Regiment had already retreated, and they just left the corpses of


    their deadrades. At that moment, aside from the guard team, the reinforcements that were brought


    by Ramon were also there.


    Fearing that the Robber Regiment might send more powerful members tounch an attack again,


    Ramon quickly led the guard team and the reinforcements back to the Sword Spirit City as soon as


    possible.


    After returning to the Sword Spirit Sect, Ramon asked two of the disciples from the guard team to tend


    on Rocky''s wounds. At the same time, he and Hannah went straight to the Arcane Sword Hall to meet


    with the governor of the city, Harrison, who also happened to be Tessa''s father.

    "Hannah, why did you put yourself in such a dangerous situation?" Harrison seemed to have known


    every aspect of Hannah''s n, and apparently, he was pretty dissatisfied with it. After all, she was the


    daughter of the Sword Spirit Sect''s leader, and her safety was a big deal. If anything bad happened to


    her, he would feel very responsible for it, and he might not be able to face her father.


    "I had to. I needed to take the risk in order to bring the ethereal crystals back. Moreover, we were able


    to confirm the collusion between the Grand Sky Sect and the Robber Regiment. So, overall, it yielded a


    good result," Hannah responded calmly. She was actually a little scared before they began the mission,


    but she was resolute enough to firmly go through it. Besides, everything was put under control, and


    Rocky did his best to protect her from any danger.


    "Are you sure that it''s the Grand Sky Sect''s doing?" Harrison asked with a serious expression on his


    face. He clenched his fist and wasn''t able to suppress his emotion as he released an intimidating aura.


    Both the Grand Sky Sect and the Sword Spirit Sect were important members of the Sovereign Sect.


    Moreover, they had been treating each other with great respect and it was a bit hard to ept that the


    Grand Sky Sect would do such a horrible thing. They not only colluded with the Robber Regiment but


    also dared to attack the members of the Sword Spirit Sect.


    "Yes. It was actually thanks to Basil that I have fully confirmed this. With his quick thinking, he


    pretended to be a spy of the Grand Sky Sect and probed the enemy''s reaction so that I can make sure


    of it," Hannah answered, deliberately mentioning Rocky''s name to give credit for what he had done.


    "Basil?" Harrison furrowed his brows slightly as he heard the name. He thought for a while and felt that


    the name was quite familiar.


    "Yes. He is the only beast curer who managed to help Tessa cure Nightshade," Hannah


    borated.
