?1378 Smurfing In Another World (11)

From Hardy's perspective, he thought the job would be tough because he thought the mastermind behind the incident was The Orin Kingdom. Fighting a kingdom with just eighteen adventurers was tough, but not impossible with the line-up. That was why he agreed with the request.

However, he did not expect that the cause of the Adventurer Guild's issue was just one single man. On top of that, the man came to find him which made his work easier. He did not mean to underestimate the man in front of him.

The man in front of him could take down six Adventurer Guild branches along with six The Harmony Temples. That was an impressive feat, but not enough to deter him who thought that his team also could bring down a kingdom.

"For you guys who were forced to be his slave! I will free you all from him, my fellow adventurers!" Hardy declared with his hand raised up in the air, "You just need to do one thing, doing nothing. I will kill him, and you will be free from him!"

Hardy was confident that if these people were his fellow adventurers, he could persuade them not to join the fight while eighteen of them ganging up on this man. Eighteen against one, that was an easy job.

Meanwhile, Ladirma was observing Tang Shaoyang's expression secretly. Expression was the easiest to read about what his Master felt about the group. He wanted to know if the group would be enough to deter his Master. But he could not see His Master's expression who remained calm. In fact, he saw his Master smile instead of getting deterred.

Tang Shaoyang sensed the man's emotion, wavering and doubtful. He turned toward Worm1, "You have one warning already. So be careful, Worm1. I am not merciful enough to give you a third chance."

"Buahahahaha…!" Hardy let out a sonorous laugh when he heard how Tang Shaoyang called Ladirma, "You have become this low, Ladirma? The Black Iron Adventurer, The famed Tempest Swordsmaster is now a Worm1? I guess it's true the rumor about you being a coward. You will stoop that low to keep your pitiful life.

Ladirma was caught off guard because it felt like His Master read what was in his mind. He had not thought of betraying His Master, but he was just doubtful that his Master could win against the strong Demi-God Rank in Hardy's level. Especially, he believed that the other adventurers would take Hardy's side. They would not receive help from the people who were forced to sign a slave contract. That was what he believed.

However, to Hardy and Ladirma's surprise, the adventurers who were forced to submit to Tang Shaoyang got up from the chairs and drew their weapons out. They did not point the weapon toward Tang Shaoyang but to Hardy's party.

"Buahahahaha…!" Hardy let out a sonorous laugh when he heard how Tang Shaoyang called Ladirma, "You have become this low, Ladirma? The Black Iron Adventurer, The famed Tempest Swordsmaster is now a Worm1? I guess it's true the rumor about you being a coward. You will stoop that low to keep your pitiful life.

Hardy was not deterred even though the other adventurers decided to side with Tang Shaoyang. He was surprised, but it was not enough to scare him. If Ladirma earned the title Tempest Swordmaster, Hardy earned the title Lunatic. People called him Lunatic to fight monsters that were stronger than him.

Once, Hardy tried to fight a dragon. Even though he ended up losing and running away, having his back burned by the dragon. He survived fighting a dragon, not something that could be achieved by anyone. The whole former adventurers from four branches, and the man who conquered these adventurers. He was not afraid in the slightest. In fact, he was excited and wanted to find out if he could win the fight. He was not afraid of dying. For someone who could escape from a dragon, it should not be hard for him to escape from Tang Shaoyang.

"It seems we can't really solve the problem by talking. Diplomacy is not really my forte. Since you are determined to fight, what about if we fight outside the city?" Tang Shaoyang realized that it would be hard to resolve the issue with The Adventurer Guild through talking. Not that he could not understand them since he had destroyed six branches, and absorbed four guild worth of adventurers into his force.

Hardy grinned, "Why should I listen to you? What if I want to fight you here?"

"I want to fight you personally and give you a chance to fight back. If we fight here. I have to kill you without damaging the city, and it's not going to be a fun fight. And I need to show a little bit of my strength to this foolish follower of mine so he does not have any weird thoughts that will force me to kill him in the future," Tang Shaoyang pointed at Worm1 with his thumb.

Hardy let out a hearty laughter once more, shaking his head and wiping out his tears. He laughed until tearing up as he found it was so funny, "Now you just make me even more curious. How are you going to kill me without damaging the city? I am curious."

As soon as Hardy said that, Tang Shaoyang summoned Avyn, Zara, and Afi. At the same time, he used The Bloodline Transformation and also Spirit Integration with Rumru. He did all of that in a split second, and at the same time, Hardy also made his move.

His figure blurred out forward toward Tang Shaoyang, intending to land a blow while Tang Shaoyang was in the middle of transformation. He chose to launch an attack instead of using the gap time to use his Bloodline Transformation.

Hardy decided to attack in reaction to Tang Shaoyang's transformation. He could not use his strongest skill which needed some time to activate. He thought his swordplay was enough to pierce the man's heart. However, before his sword could reach the target, a space crack formed. His sword went through the crack instead of piercing his target's heart. That caught him off guard, not expecting that his attack would be nullified. Then he sensed a danger from his left side.

A stunning lady with ash-blue hair was right next to him. Her fluttered while, and soon his vision was covered by her palm. She caught him in the face and slammed him to the ground.

Bam!

His head was slammed onto the hard floor, causing the floor to crack and the whole building shook. His head buzzed as he felt dizzy. He sensed the pressure in his head was loosened, but then his head was stomped once more. He could tell that the second stomp was not by hand, but by foot.
