Chapter 14: Man in Grey
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Yuan and Lin Mucheng were instantly surrounded.
"What do you want?" Lin Mucheng's face darkened, but she did not forget to stand in front of Xu Yuan to protect him.
Xu Yuan was a special role and did not have any combat skills.
Lin Mucheng felt that it was her responsibility to protect him.
"Miss Lin, please don't get it wrong..." Seeing that Lin Mucheng seemed to be facing a great enemy, everyone quickly explained.
Lin Mucheng and Xu Yuan's confusion was finally suppressed by their explanation.
After staying in the secret realm for an entire afternoon, the two of them still did not know that they had become famous on the internet.
"Miss Lin, I have a top-grade bow here. I don't have any use for it, so I'll give it to you!" One of them handed over a leather wrist armor of Blue Excellent with both hands.
These people had already learned of Lin Mucheng's identity from the video.
Now that he saw her in person, he naturally tried to curry favor with her in order to gain benefits from her.
"No, thank you." Lin Mucheng politely refused. Even though she was smiling, there was a hint of indifference to her smile.
She did not show others any respect.
This person had come up to show his friendliness, but it didn't necessarily mean he had good intentions.
"Uh..." After being rejected, the person still smiled apologetically, but this time, he turned to Xu Yuan and asked, "Mr. Xu, I wonder what kind of equipment you usually wear for your special role?"
Xu Yuan was a little speechless.
It was the first time he was addressed like this, so he was not used to it.
"Please make way. I want to learn a skill!" Lin Mucheng's tone gradually turned unfriendly as he was surrounded by strangers who asked him all sorts of questions.
Liu Han, who was waiting outside, brought his men in and chased away the people surrounding them.
The group of people fanned out in all directions, using their gazes to deter those who still wanted to approach.
At this moment, a sinister voice suddenly sounded, causing Liu Han and the others to feel a chill in their hearts.
"Yin Yue Guild, what an awe-inspiring guild!"
The elites of Yin Yue Guild only saw a blur before their eyes. A gray figure passed by them at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye, heading straight for Xu Yuan and Lin Mucheng.
"Humph!"
A hand reached out like lightning and pressed on Xu Yuan's shoulder.
Then, a strong force came over and pulled Xu Yuan away.
"Fu*k!"
Xu Yuan only had time to curse before the scene in his eyes quickly retreated behind him like a reversing car!
The wind whistled by his ear, and a gloomy voice whispered in his ear, "The Shadow Alliance invites Mr. Xu as a guest!"
The man in gray held Xu Yuan in one hand, and a silver light flashed in his other hand, revealing a thin sword that emitted a cold light.
He swung the sword in his hand and easily broke the huge fireball thrown by Liu Han!
Bang!
The flames dissipated.
The grey-robed man did not stop at all as he rapidly flew into the distance!
"Hmm?"
The grey-robed man suddenly let out a puzzled sound. He suddenly stopped in his tracks and waved his sword in the air in front of him.
Thud!
There was clearly nothing in front of him, but when he swung his sword, it still produced a clanging sound of metal clashing.
Xu Yuan tried to raise his head, only to find that the space in front of him was rippling.
The longsword in the grey-robed man's hand seemed to have sunk into the ripples and could not be pulled out no matter how hard he tried.
"D*mn it! The Shadow Alliance is here to do business. Those who are unrelated get lost!" the gray-robed man cursed in a low voice.
The big shot on the Heaven List was still in Spring City. He took such a big risk and did not want to delay for a moment!
Staying for even a second more was a huge risk!
"The Shadow Alliance?"
A cold female voice sounded, her tone full of disdain. "A bunch of dishonest lowlives."
The man in gray was furious. He gritted his teeth and let go of the sword. He picked up Xu Yuan with his arm and dashed in another direction.
The quality of this sword was extraordinary.
But it was far less important than his life!
Although the genius was entangled, he could escape at any time.
He couldn't afford to waste any more time!
He had to get to the meeting place before the big-timers arrived and send off the kid of a special role.
The gray-robed man dashed toward the south of the city, but the space in front of him suddenly rippled again.
"Spatial Ripples?" The grey-robed man's face suddenly darkened, and he shouted in a low voice, "You, you're that woman from the Zhou family in Mountain City?"
The words came out.
A long sword suddenly appeared diagonally behind him and pierced through his left shoulder.
The blood-stained sword tip poked out from the man in gray's chest. The man in gray gritted his teeth and took two steps forward with the momentum of the sword.
The next second, Xu Yuan heard a soft female voice. "So fast!" Her tone was filled with unwillingness.
Before he could come back to his senses, Xu Yuan felt an incomparably turbulent aura enveloping him and the gray-robed man.
This aura was vast and domineering, and it was somewhat familiar.
Xu Yuan's heart instantly relaxed, knowing that he was safe.
Boom!
After a flash of light, Lin Zhenhua stepped down from the sky with a furious expression!
After slashing down the man in gray, he landed steadily on the ground and caught Xu Yuan that had lost control of his body, helping him to stand firm.
"Dad!"
"Xu Yuan!"
Lin Mucheng, Liu Han, and the others all arrived.
Seeing that Lin Zhenhua had saved Xu Yuan, Lin Mucheng's worried heart finally relaxed.
"Xu Yuan, are you okay?" Lin Mucheng, whose face was pale, took a few steps toward Xu Yuan and asked hurriedly.
Xu Yuan shook his head.
Looking at the gray-robed man who had fallen not far away, his mood wasn't too good.
After being captured just now, he did not want to taste the feeling of being at the mercy of others a second time!
He clenched his fists unconsciously, and his nails dug deep into his palms, causing him pain.
He raised his head and looked around.
The man in gray, the female voice just now, and many more people were probably watching him from the shadows.
He had to have the ability to protect himself as soon as possible, otherwise...
Xu Yuan knew that he could not hide behind Uncle Lin forever.
"Mucheng, you and Xu Yuan can go back first." Lin Zhenhua's expression had already returned to calmness. He turned his head and said a few words before lifting the man in gray by his collar and disappearing from the spot.
Only after his figure disappeared did Liu Han and the others dare to step forward.
"I'm sorry. Just now..." Liu Han said hesitantly.
Before the guild leader left, he had instructed them to protect Xu Yuan and Lin Mucheng.
However, just now, someone had kidnapped her right under their noses!
"It's none of your business."
Xu Yuan waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to feel guilty at all.
When he was held hostage just now, he realized that the gray-robed man was terrifyingly strong. He might not be any weaker than Guild Leader Yin Yue.
Although Liu Han and the others were not weak, they were nothing in front of the man in gray.
Seeing that there were many people gathered on the street to watch the show, he looked at Lin Mucheng and realized that the girl was still very nervous. He smiled and comforted her before saying, "Don't worry, Uncle Lin has his own arrangements. Let's go home first!"
Before leaving, Xu Yuan raised his head again and looked around.
"What are you looking at?" Lin Mucheng asked curiously.
"It's nothing."
Xu Yuan only shook his head.
