The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Hand Over the Green-Clothed Martial Artist Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Hand Over the Green-Clothed Martial Artist “Marquis, the captain of the Fiery Flame Adventure Team, Gao Zhan, and others have already reached the cliff top!” the black-clothed Martial Artist replied respectfully.

“Big brother, you must avenge me!

I, Hua Bao, have never suffered this kind of indignity!

That damned little wretch, if I don’t strip her bare and play her to death, the hatred in my heart will never subside!” Hua Bao gritted his teeth furiously.

Hua Bao was the sworn brother of Ran Hou.

In fact, Hua Bao’s martial prowess was only at the Martial Arts Seventh Layer Heaven, but around Black Teeth Village, there weren’t many who dared to provoke him.

The real reason behind this was the backing of Ran Hou.

High-level Martial Artists might dismiss a Hua Bao, but they could not afford to ignore his sworn brother Ran Hou.

In the Black Teeth Tavern, after Gao Feng had taught Hua Bao a lesson, Gao Zhan was eager to enter Moonlight Forest, also to avoid Ran Hou.

Because Ran Hou was not only the leader of the largest bandit gang around Black Teeth Village, but he himself was a formidable Martial Artist at the Half-step Innate Realm.

Under his command, there were far more High-level Martial Artists than in his own Fiery Flame Adventure Team.

If Fiery Flame truly clashed with Ran Hou Gang, the consequences would be unbearable for Gao Zhan.

“Shut your mouth!” Ran Hou glared fiercely at Hua Bao.

Hua Bao immediately shrank his neck.

Although he was Ran Hou’s sworn brother, he knew that without this big brother, he, Hua Bao, would be nothing in Black Teeth Village.

High-level Martial Artists were a dime a dozen in these parts.

Without Ran Hou’s protection, if he continued to be so arrogant and domineering, he might have long been killed and discarded in the wild.

Speaking of which, his blood brotherhood with Ran Hou was also a result of coincidence.

Ten years ago, Ran Hou didn’t have the strength he has now, just a common High-level Martial Artist.

Back then, he was being hunted by his enemies and had intended to take refuge in Moonlight Forest for a while.

Passing by Black Teeth Village, he was caught up by his foes, but luckily Hua Bao saved him, allowing him to survive.

Since then, the two became sworn brothers.

Over these ten plus years, Hua Bao remained the same, but Ran Hou became a power of the Half-step Innate Realm and established the strongest bandit gang in the vicinity.

Ran Hou’s gang regularly collected a toll from Martial Artists passing through the top of Soul-breaking Cliff.

Of course, Ran Hou was a very astute man.

He always let through those Martial Artists or teams with considerable strength, avoiding any confrontation with them.

It was this caution that allowed him to grow to where he was today.

He knew whom he could offend and whom he could not.

Ran Hou also knew that the Fiery Flame Adventure Team wasn’t easy to deal with, so he had never demanded a toll from Gao Zhan’s team before.

But this time, his sworn brother Hua Bao had been bullied by Fiery Flame.

Ran Hou couldn’t just stand by without showing some response.

His sworn brother had been taught a lesson, and if he, Ran Hou, didn’t step up to reclaim respect, how would others view him?

Could he, Ran Hou, continue to thrive here?

So, although Ran Hou also couldn’t wait to personally discipline Hua Bao, this man had, after all, once saved his life.

No matter how disagreeable, Ran Hou had to endure.

At this moment, Ran Hou squinted his eyes, his gaze focusing ahead.

He had already seen that Gao Zhan and his companions had come into view.

“Charge!” Ran Hou gave a low command.

“Rustle!”

Dozens of High-level Martial Artists instantly burst out, surrounding Gao Zhan and the others.

Ran Hou and Hua Bao followed close behind.

“Not good!”

“It’s Ran Hou!”

“Damn it, how could they move so fast?

We left the Black Teeth Tavern straight away and still ran into Ran Hou.” Gao Zhan and others soon spotted Ran Hou’s gang, and their expressions all tightened slightly as they uttered their words in a deep voice.

“Prepare for battle!” Gao Zhan raised his arm and shouted orders to the more than twenty members of the Fiery Flame Adventure Team.

“Shh!

Shh!”

These twenty-plus members of the Fiery Flame Adventure Team clearly had abundant combat experience.

After Gao Zhan’s words fell, within at most a single breath, they had deployed a defensive formation, everyone taking out their weapons and readying for battle.

“Gao Feng, protect Young Master Jing Yan well!” Gao Zhan commanded Gao Feng in a low tone.

“I know!” Gao Feng replied, concisely and forcefully, as she glanced over at Jing Yan who still appeared cool and collected, and shook her head slightly.

She really didn’t know whether Young Master Jing Yan was oblivious to the serious danger due to some problem with his brain or if he truly possessed the composure of “Mount Tai collapsing without his face changing.”

“Captain Gao Zhan!”

Then the bandit martial artists encircled the people from Fiery Flame halfway.

Moving slowly from the rear, he approached and tilted his head slightly towards Gao Zhan.

“Leader Ran Hou, we’ve always kept to our own waters.

I’m wondering what you mean by this now?” Gao Zhan narrowed his eyes, smiling at Ran Hou as he asked.

“We indeed have no conflicts between us.

But, you should know, Hua Bao is my brother.

To teach Hua Bao a lesson is to disrespect me, Ran Hou!” Ran Hou said in a deep voice, with a glint flashing in his eyes.

“Big brother, why waste so much talk with them?

Just wipe them out, and leave that little bitch Gao Feng alive.

Big brother, you’ve also seen how tempting that little bitch is.” Hua Bao, standing behind Ran Hou, couldn’t help but taunt again, his eyes shimmering with a sinister glow as he stared at Gao Feng, almost drooling.

He had coveted Gao Feng’s looks not just for one day or two.

But previously, he never had the opportunity.

He had also suggested similar things to Ran Hou before, but they were always rejected by Ran Hou.

“Hua Bao, you’re seeking death!” Gao Feng’s temper flared upon hearing Hua Bao’s words, how could she hold it in?

Her delicate body trembled slightly as primordial energy surged through her, almost ready to make a move.

However, she knew her most important task at present was to protect Jing Yan, which was why she didn’t rush out and kill that damned Hua Bao right away.

The other members of Fiery Flame also glared fiercely at Hua Bao.

“Hua Bao, shut your damned mouth!

If you dare speak another word of nonsense, I’ll personally cripple you!” Ran Hou angrily shouted at Hua Bao.

Ran Hou felt that this pig-headed sworn brother of his would sooner or later become unbearable.

Being furiously scolded by Ran Hou, Hua Bao pursed his lips and truly did not dare to speak further.

“Leader Ran Hou, how do you want to resolve this matter?

Let me make it clear first, my Fiery Flame Adventure Team does not wish to be your enemy.” Gao Zhan lowered his voice and spoke slowly.

Their luck this time was too bad!

Ran Hou must have chanced upon them at Soul-breaking Cliff; otherwise, it shouldn’t have been possible for him to catch up with the Fiery Flame Adventure Team here so quickly.

Now that things had come to this point, they could only take it one step at a time.

“Captain Gao Zhan, your thoughts coincide with mine.

How about this, you hand over that young green-clothed martial artist, and let Gao Feng apologize to my brother, and we’ll consider this matter settled.” Ran Hou grinned, his gaze ‘swooshing’ to fixate on Jing Yan among the crowd.
