Chapter 74 - Ironsword Lion

It would be a miracle not to attract attention, getting involved in a robbery in the middle of the bustling Trade Area .

As expected, just after Ironsword Lion finished speaking, a crowd of players surrounded them to get in on the fun .

"Huh, isn't that Ironsword Lion from Martial Union?""Is he awesome or something?"

"You don't say! Why don't you look at his level and equipment? He's one of the rare few Level 5 experts, and he is wearing at least 6 pieces of Bronze Equipment . I've also seen the weapon in his hand before . It's called Knight's Longsword, a very awesome weapon amongst Level 4 Bronze Weapons . Moreover, he previously killed a lot of players outside the town, earning him a lot of glory . "

"Che… they're just relying on numbers to bully others . How can that even be considered being skillful? If they're that good, they should fight those large Guilds . At most, they can only bully newbies . They're even asking that guy for 20 Silver Coins; isn't that just going overboard? Gaming experts would only have 3 or 4 Silver Coins on them, not to mention carrying 20 . They are clearly forcing him into a corner . "

"Shh! Speak softer! That Ironsword Lion isn't bullying people with numbers . His strength is the real deal . Previously, he was a top-tier expert in a Wuxia virtual reality game, but he was compelled to transition to God's Domain . Yesterday, he kill-stealed[1] outside of town with other players and single-handedly defeated all four of them . Those four players were not noobs but gaming veterans . They are stronger than us by at least a few leagues . If Ironsword Lion were to hear you, then tough luck, buddy . At that time, your only way out would be to delete your account and start all over again…"

Listening up to this point, the surrounding players all sucked in a breath of cold air . They no longer dared spout baseless gossip, their eyes sending pitiful gazes towards Shi Feng . Of all the people Shi Feng could provoke, he had chosen to provoke an expert . Moreover, an expert that covered up the shortcomings of his subordinates . Unless Shi Feng deleted and recreated his account, he would definitely have to pay the 20 Silver Coins . However, leveling up to Level 4 was a difficult task . If Shi Feng chose to delete his account, then two days of his effort would be wasted . The average person would rather pay up than delete their accounts .

"This guy is just meeting one misfortune after the other . If it were normal times, he would just have to spend a few Credits to collect the 20 Silver Coins . Now, however, not only are the prices for God's Domain game currency ridiculously high, but it is also extremely hard to buy any . ""Right! Seeing such a high buying price, even I am thinking of selling my game currency . However, going with this trend, the prices will still increase in the future . I want to stock up a little more, putting them up for sale later on . "

Just as the surrounding players were lamenting over Shi Feng's bad luck, at a stall by the street, several players were quietly watching Shi Feng . These players all wore luxurious equipment on their bodies, and each of them carried a faint smile on their faces .

"Brother Stabbing Heart, should I go lend a hand? That way, Ye Feng will have to owe us a favor," a male Cleric that resembled a skinny monkey asked as he looked at Stabbing Heart .

Stabbing Heart fell into deep thought . He felt that the Cleric's words were logical . Indeed, Shi Feng had very powerful techniques, and he was also acquainted with a great character like the Snow Goddess . However, Ironsword Lion was a brutish expert . He also had the support of his Guild . Overall, Shi Feng was definitely in a disadvantageous situation . If Stabbing Heart were to lend Shi Feng a helping hand, Shi Feng would definitely be grateful to him .

The favor of a great expert was extremely valuable . Often, a great expert such as Shi Feng was necessary for clearing a large Dungeon . However, without good relations, such experts would usually pay zero heed to invitations, and some would go so far as to look down on them in contempt .  Who did you think you are? Have you not received any education?

"Go, we definitely must go . However, let us wait for a while . Our value will only stand out in a crucial moment . It is also a good chance to let those plebeian Guilds know of our might," Stabbing Heart softly said, a cold glint flashing in his eyes .

After spending so many years within the virtual gaming world, Stabbing Heart understood a single principle . Every additional expert he befriended was an additional path he could take in the future . What's more, Shi Feng was a great, hidden expert that was acquainted with the Snow Goddess . If he were to antagonize instead of befriending Shi Feng, he would be digging his own grave . He would be creating a great enemy for himself in the future .

Alas, a small Guild was doomed to remain a small Guild . After mingling about for so many years, they did not even possess the eyesight to differentiate an expert from average players . It definitely wouldn't be long before natural selection eliminated them .

When the moment came, Assassin's Alliance would kill the chicken to warn the monkey[2], utilizing Marital Union to raise their influence in Red Leaf Town .

"Little fool, weren't you so awesome? How come you're acting like a fool now? I've said before that I would return, and when that time came, it would be your time of death . If you obediently hand over 20 Silver Coins right now, you can continue mingling about . Otherwise, delete your account and start all over again . " Standing behind Ironsword Lion, Drifting Blood watched Shi Feng stand there in silence . He felt immensely pleased with himself, thinking Shi Feng had become afraid . However, such a reaction was only natural . Boss Ironsword's strength was a profound mystery, and even ten of himself would not be a match to Boss Ironsword . If a mere leisure player like Shi Feng were to meet the tyrannic Boss Ironsword, he might have already been shocked dumb .

"Enough, Drifting Blood . I'm not an evil tyrant, nor do I wish for more trouble . These 20 Silver Coins can be considered as a lesson to him . I want him to know who he should and should not provoke . " Ironsword Lion looked Drifting Blood in the eye, then turned towards Shi Feng and proudly said, "You don't have to worry, either . I, Ironsword Lion, am a person who holds true to my words . Hand over 20 Silver Coins, and as long as you don't provoke Martial Union, we will not find trouble with you . "

Hearing Ironsword Lion say so, Shi Feng really took out 20 Silver Coins from his bag, the silvery glow given off by the coins attracted people's hearts .

At this crucial period of the game, 20 Silver Coins were extremely hard to procure, even if one spent Credits to purchase them . As for taking out 20 Silver Coins in one go…"Crap, brat, you really are rich! So, what Drifting Blood said was indeed true . How about we become friends, and I'll cover for you in the future . Anybody who provokes you will be provoking Martial Union," Ironsword Lion was greatly shocked at seeing the 20 Silver Coins, gulping down his saliva . Even he did not possess 20 Silver Coins right now . He did not imagine that Shi Feng, a leisure player, could bring out 20 Silver Coins . With that much money, Ironsword Lion would have much more confidence in competing for the Glimmer Chestplate Forging Design .

When the surrounding players saw all these Silver Coins, their mouths all gaped wide in shock .

Shi Feng was truly rich . He was definitely a tycoon .

Some of the upper echelons of large Guilds also had their eyes turn red after seeing this scene . Ironsword Lion's luck was truly good . He was able to meet a Brother Tycoon just by simply searching for a player . "How could it be?" From afar, Stabbing Heart's expression was one of incomparable shock after witnessing Shi Feng's actions .

However, what Stabbing Heart was shocked about was not the amount of money . Instead, he was shocked by Shi Feng's unexpected action . Even if Shi Feng could not win in a fight against Martial Union, this place was currently a Safe Zone; nobody would dare to take action in here . After leaving the Town, with Shi Feng's skills, escaping was definitely not a problem . So, just why did Shi Feng compromise and offered up 20 Silver Coins?

"You wanted 20 Silver Coins, right?" Shi Feng asked Ironsword Lion with a smile .

"Mmhmm, let's trade . " Noticing that he had lost his composure, Ironsword Lion immediately turned serious . Just as everyone was watching Ironsword Lion with envy…

An incomparably pitch black longsword pierced through the pit of Ironsword Lion's stomach . Ironsword Lion's HP was instantly reduced by over 100 points . Just as the person himself wanted to resist, he had discovered many chains binding him, preventing him from even moving a muscle .

Shi Feng calmly pulled the Abyssal Blade out from Ironsword Lion's stomach . He then followed up with a Chop and an Earth Splitter, his sword slashing down on Ironsword Lion's body . As a result, Ironsword Lion's HP madly fell without any signs of stopping .

The might of a Magic Weapon was incomparably shocking, even more so when coupled with a Level 6 Chop and a Level 4 Earth Splitter . Killing a Level 5 Swordsman fully geared with Bronze Equipment was a truly simple matter, not to mention that Shi Feng had been the one to take the initiative and carried out a sneak attack . Even an expert would fall under such circumstances .

These two attacks took all of Ironsword Lion's HP . Ironsword Lion did not even get the chance to retaliate before letting out a pitiful cry, his body falling to the ground, never to move again . Then, his body turned into starlight, vanishing and leaving behind a piece of equipment .

"Who else wants it?" Shi Feng fixed his gaze on the members of Martial Union, giggling as he asked .

The entire street of the Trade Area suddenly became deathly silent . Not a single person was able to mutter a word .
