Chapter 635: Chapter 635 What About The Second
Three figures stood before the scene, each radiating immense power - all of them mid-stage Military Marquises!
Hawk Thompson might have lost an arm, but his intimidating presence hadn’t weakened one bit.
Seeing Hawk Thompson right in front of me, I felt a violent wave of bloodlust surge through my chest!
"Hawk Thompson..." I whispered his name through clenched teeth.
The blade in my grip started vibrating, its crimson aura thickening around the steel.
"Black-robed fool, you hurt so many of our Capital City Martial Arts Association members, and now you dare show up at this auction seeking death," Hawk Thompson said with ice in his voice.
"Nobody’s ever had the guts to challenge our Capital City Martial Arts Association like this," the figure in black and gold robes sneered.
I narrowed my eyes and smirked. "Today, I’m walking away with that item no matter what."
"Big words from a dead man," Hawk Thompson replied, his eyes turning to slits.
"Don’t think I can’t see right through your disguise!"
My heart skipped a beat when I heard that.
Had he figured out who I really was?
"Angela Tamara, you think that black robe can hide the stink coming off you?" Hawk Thompson suddenly laughed coldly, just as panic started creeping into my thoughts.
Relief washed over me when I heard those words.
Angela Tamara? I’d never even heard that name before.
"Angela Tamara, you coming with us willingly, or do we put you down right here?" Hawk Thompson taunted.
My sword trembled slightly in my hand, and deep inside, anticipation was building!
"Wonder if this bronze blade can cut through his Black Gold Armor," I thought to myself.
Without that Black Gold Armor protecting him, Hawk Thompson would be nothing!
Sensing the killing intent radiating from me, Hawk Thompson snorted with contempt. "Looks like you picked the hard way!"
His aura started climbing fast, and black and golden light began swirling around him like a tornado!
My expression turned stone cold as I channeled spiritual energy into my sword.
Right then, the bronze blade felt like it had become part of my own body!
"I came here just to steal the item, but looks like I’m getting a bonus," I said with venom in my voice.
"I’m taking all three of your miserable lives!"
I launched myself upward, bringing my sword down in a deadly arc!
Hawk Thompson grunted and threw up his hand, black and gold energy gathering in his palm as it crashed against my bronze sword!
"Hum!"
The whole venue exploded with blinding light!
People got thrown backward by the shockwave, and chaos erupted everywhere!
My bronze sword cut right through the black and gold energy, slamming into Hawk Thompson’ palm!
Hawk Thompson felt sharp pain shoot through his hand, and a white scratch appeared on his Black Gold Armor!
His face twisted with surprise. He glanced at his two companions and said coldly, "Attack together - kill him!"
Both men stepped forward without hesitation!
They were mid-stage Military Marquises after all, not opponents I could take lightly.
I gripped my bronze sword tight and sent a blade aura slicing through the air!
"Whoosh!"
The sword energy stretched several feet long, cutting straight toward all three men!
The trio immediately activated their techniques, and a massive hand materialized in front of them!
The giant hand grabbed hold of my bronze sword directly!
These three seemed to share some kind of combined technique, and their power suddenly shot through the roof!
"Boom!"
A giant fist appeared above the three men’s heads!
The fist clenched tight and came crashing down at me!
I couldn’t dodge fast enough and took the hit square in the chest, my body flying sideways!
"Looking for death!" Hawk Thompson snarled. The three of them advanced together, with two enormous hands floating above their heads.
This technique belonged to the Capital City Martial Arts Association, and only these three could pull it off!
I picked myself up off the ground, staring coldly at the three figures ahead, my brow creasing slightly.
"Can’t stick around much longer - gotta end this fast," I thought.
With that decision made, I backed up a few steps, then rose with both hands on my sword hilt, and the first strike of the Nine Slashes formed instantly!
"Buzz!"
Terrifying sword light erupted from the bronze blade, the brilliant glow almost too bright to look at!
Hawk Thompson’ expression shifted, and he said coldly, "That technique’s no joke - stay sharp!"
The three of them joined forces and pushed both giant hands forward at once!
Both massive hands clenched into fists to block the sword light!
"Sizzle!"
The relentless Nine Slashes, with its razor-sharp sword energy, shot straight at the two giant hands!
The moment that sword light made contact, it sliced right through both condensed hands! They couldn’t even slow the blade energy down for a split second!
"Damn!" Hawk Thompson’ face went white, but the sword light was already bearing down on all three of them!
"Boom!"
The ground under their feet cracked apart! Smoke and debris blocked everyone’s view!
"Nine Slashes?"
From below, the Pavilion Master seemed to recognize the technique.
"Could that black-robed figure be Mason Raymond?" The Pavilion Master’s forehead wrinkled with concern.
I looked down coldly at the three men.
When the dust cleared, they were holding a platinum shield in front of them!
The shield had protected all three and stopped the first strike of the Nine Slashes!
Even so, the white shield was covered in deep gashes!
"So they managed to block it," I sneered a few times.
My sword swayed gently in my grip, and terrifying energy gathered along the bronze blade!
"You survived the first sword, but what about the second?" I said with ice in my voice.
Feeling the deadly aura building on the bronze sword, all three men’s faces turned ugly!
"This is bad - this sword’s way stronger than the first one!" Hawk Thompson shouted in alarm!
The other two could sense the dangerous energy too!
I said coldly, "Time to die."
Sword light slowly gathered, and the second strike of the Nine Slashes took shape.
Overwhelming pressure made all three men’s faces change dramatically!
Cold sweat dripped from their foreheads, and terror filled their minds!
Hawk Thompson gritted his teeth and reached for the Black Gold Ball.
But right then, he realized the Black Gold Ball had vanished!
"Go to hell!" I roared furiously and brought my sword down with crushing force!
Sword light several feet wide nearly covered the entire venue!
Everyone got caught in the aftermath, coughing up blood even though they weren’t the target, and some regular people got turned into bloody paste on the spot!
"Ah!!!"
Under that sword light, angry screams rang out.
Their hands activated the technique, and the white shield appeared above their heads!
"Buzz!"
But this sword was too powerful, and the white shield got cut clean in half! It came crashing down.
"Crack!"
The ground beneath their feet turned to rubble, and a sword mark stretching tens of meters long had been carved into the earth.
Half a second later, the sword marks on the ground erupted with thunderous explosions!
