Chapter 531: 531: The Great Zhou Stormy Night Sword_1

“Prepare to attack!”

What initially seemed like a trivial matter had suddenly become complex!

Paul, who had been basking in joy just half a minute ago, was now nothing more than a corpse with some residual warmth.

As for the others, their composure slipped from elegant confidence to panic-stricken disarray!

Escape a dart and even walk on water as if treading on waves, it was evident he was a master!

Such a person’s combat prowess was deep and unfathomable.

“Go to hell! I’ll send you to meet Satan!”

After Julius Reed charged over, the first ones he confronted were those two men with the hidden weapon boxes.

Facing Julius Reed who leapt onto the deck, they roared as they lifted up the hidden boxes in their hands, attempting to overpower him with a strike!

“God save me! Send this devil to hell, so he may never reincarnate!”

The hidden weapon boxes in their hands were made of pure steel and could easily be used as close-range weapons in case of an enemy’s surprise attack.

Clang!

With a flash of sparks, the two dart-throwers at the front were cleaved in half at the waist!

Clang!

The broken parts of the hidden weapon boxes scattered across the deck, fragments strewn all around.

“Hiss!”

All eyes were drawn to Julius Reed, and everyone couldn’t hep but draw a sharp breath, their gaze filled with tension and a hint of fear.

They had seen strong fighters before.

In fact, they themselves were among the strong.

But this man before them had just killed three people in a supremely domineering manner!

He then stood alone with a sword on the deck, looking at them with a cold demeanor.

The deterrent effect had been achieved!

Panic continued to spread unchecked.

“You… who are you!”

Brian asked this foolish question, manifesting his instinctive reaction.

In essence, what he was really asking was…

Are you human or a ghost?

Having evaded the dart master’s darts and killed two top Shadow Warriors with a single sword strike was proof enough of his formidable strength.

“The one who will kill you.”

Julius Reed stood tall on the deck, his cloak billowing in the sea breeze.

“Such arrogance!”

Brian swallowed hard, instinctively retreating: “I am surrounded by the best Shadow Warriors in the world. You are heading down a path of certain death!”

After the initial panic, everyone began to calm down.

After all, they were people who had crawled through life and death situations, so when faced with such an adversary, rationality was necessary after the fleeting fear.

Otherwise, they would have lost before the fight even started.

“I’m short on time, so all of you come at me together,”

Julius Reed gently caressed his Golden Dragon Sword, lifting his head to look at the Shadow Warriors before him: “Or, I’ll kill you all in one go.”

“This cloak, it looks familiar!”

On the ship, an elderly man seemed to recognize the cloak very well.

“Nine dragons decorated upon it, a supreme sign of authority! You are audacious indeed!”

He looked at Julius Reed’s young face and asked aloud, “Who was your mentor?”

“If we’re going to fight, then fight. No need for idle talk.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Julius Reed gave a faint smile and suddenly sprang forward!

Thud!

A Shadow Warrior didn’t have time to react and was cut in half at the waist!

It should be noted that this Shadow Warrior, who died on the spot, had once defeated dozens of people by himself.

Having taken countless lives, he was known as Ghost’s Anxiety.

But now, he couldn’t survive even a single move.

Directly severed into two.

“Allow me to test your skills!”

A middle-aged man holding a long spear dashed toward Julius Reed: “Devine King with the Dark Staff, Sares! Enlighten me! I am very curious about your Eastern martial arts…”

Clang!

With a metallic clash, Julius Reed’s Golden Dragon Sword plunged straight into Sares’s body.

“Want to experience Eastern martial arts? You’re not worthy!”

With a light push, Sares fell to the ground, eyes wide open, each hand clutching a piece of the broken staff.

The atmosphere grew even more eerie.

Everyone present understood each other’s backgrounds.

In fact, Sares, the Divine King of the Underworld Staff, was not only strong, but he was also the number one staff master in Satellite Continent!

The staff in his hand could smash a three-meter-thick tree, and even among the stars gathered on this ship, his strength could still rank in the top eight!

But now, he had been killed by a single sword strike!

Even the iron staff that had accompanied him for decades had broken.

“Autumn mists scatter the chilled blossom burials.”

Just then, the man who had spoken earlier stepped out from the crowd, looking indifferently at Julius Reed, “In your hand, do you have the Great Zhou Lanyi Sword?”

“The Great Zhou Lanyi Sword?”

When they heard this name, some people on the ship were surprised.

They couldn’t understand why Mr. Hart would ask such a question.

The Great Zhou Lanyi Sword, a renowned sword of the world!

Legend has it that it was forged during the Zhou Dynasty of China, taking a total of eighty-one years to create.

Whether in terms of material or killing power, it ranked among the top ten famous swords in the world.

The reason the people on the ship remembered it was because, decades ago, someone with the Great Zhou Lanyi Sword had defeated eighteen renowned western fighters in a single night.

It shocked the world!

That person was rumored to be a young man, just over twenty years old, yet his swordsmanship was unmatched in the world.

That year coincided with the Western martial arts world claiming that Chinese kung fu was all for show and lacked substance.

In the face of countries ousting Chinese martial arts schools, the young man appeared dramatically and thoroughly shattered the face of the Western martial arts world!

However, as time passed, those who had seen the young man had gradually passed away.

And most of those present had only heard of this incident through the stories passed down from their masters’ generation.

“Hart, are you sure you’re not mistaken?”

Someone spoke up.

After his dramatic emergence, the owner of the Great Zhou Lanyi Sword quickly disappeared.

Even this number one sword of the world was only known by that line of verse.

Coincidentally, Hart was ten years old at the time and had the privilege of witnessing this exceptional famous sword!

“Yes, how so? No, what then?”

Julius Reed glanced indifferently at the people on the ship, looked at the surrounding sea, and smiled, “Indeed, it is a fine burial place.”

“Arrogant!”

The crowd couldn’t help but curse.

After all, there were dozens of people on the ship, each a well-known Shadow Warrior.

And the other side, was merely one man standing alone.

“That person back then, was just about your age!”

Mr. Hart looked at the sword in Julius Reed’s hand, fervently saying, “Before my master died, his biggest regret was not being able to witness the grandeur of the Great Zhou Lanyi Sword! Now, if I kill you and take this sword, I can bury it in front of my master’s grave.”

As he spoke, he exuded an endless murderous intent.

“Judging by your age, you should be his fourth generation disciple. However, the sins left by your forefather can only be atoned for by you!”

As he spoke, two short blades appeared in Hart’s hand!

“Hart’s abilities are strong! If he goes all out, he might just be able to kill that man!”

“Of course! Hart is one of the top three on this ship, it’s just a question of whether he can maintain his strong physique at his age.”

“Rest easy, Hart never fights a battle he’s not sure of winning! I’ll bet half a million that within three moves, Hart will kill him!”

Everyone’s mood was considerably lightened.

Clang! Clang!

But when Hart charged at Julius Reed,

his short blades were directly knocked away by two sword strikes!

The third sword strike pierced directly through Hart’s chest.

“Just like your master back then, you couldn’t stand a single blow.”

Julius Reed whispered gently in Hart’s ear.

“You…”

Hart’s eyes widened as he trembled, looking at Julius Reed.

“Indeed, the one who killed your master that year, was me.”

Julius Reed’s lips curled into a slight arc as he pushed him away.

PS: I’ve been down with a cold these past few days, and I’ve been struggling to keep up with the updates, for which I’m truly sorry.

I would like to apologize to my readers here.
