Chapter 857: Thirteen Eagles

Aside from the Twin Female and Male Demons catching everyone’s attention because of them recently rising to fame by getting on Dragon Rank and Phoenix Rank, there were also some great players who rose to power like comets. They were also very powerful, it was just that they kept a low profile.

The thirteen riders before the Twin Female and Male Demons were known as the Thirteen Eagles in World of Martial Arts!

Each of them had titles that spread far and wide!

The handsome man in the lead was Jade Faced Eagle King. He had already perfected his Remote Sword and killed dozens of people from Dragon Rank to secure his spot as one of the top twenty on Dragon Rank.

The second was Iron-winged Eagle, and he used a weapon known as Seven-winged Phoenix Trident. It was sharp, and its damage was very high. The famous players who died under Phoenix Dances in Heaven had surpassed three digits, and he secured his place as the thirty-seventh on Dragon Rank!

The third was Blood Eagle. He practiced Blood Palm Print, and had already reached Grandmaster Realm for it. His bloody hands were soaked in poison, and when he attacked, disaster will definitely fall. He secured his spot at the fortieth place on Dragon Rank this year.

The fourth was Lightning Eagle. His entire focus was on quicksword techniques, and Xiao Shan was once his target. But ever since he personally killed Xiao Shan with just one hit, he gained the title of Lightning Eagle Sword. Not only did the title describe how fast his sword technique was, it was also a symbol of how dexterous he was. He was placed at the 43rd place on Dragon Rank.

A few among the remaining nine people were on Demon Influence Rank, and some were also on Famous People Rank. They were publicly acknowledged by those in the game, and all of them had strength that did not lose to those on Dragon Rank.

It was precisely because of the Thirteen Eagles’ overall strength that their fame gradually reached the point that they were only second to the four top-class sects. They were among the strongest batch of players in the game, and they were a small party.

“Elites.”

While the Twin Female and Male Demons were famous and were ranked high on their respective ranking boards, when they faced the Thirteen Eagles, they were still a little fearful!

When they noticed the thirteen people’s hostile gazes, they sucked in a deep breath. “My friends from the Thirteen Eagles, we are both carrying out a quest, and we hope that you won’t make things hard for us—”

“Twin Female and Male Demons?”

When he heard their words, the handsome leader laughed. Without even turning his head around, he said to his brothers behind him. “Did you hear? The Twin Female and Male Demons are here. The purple-haired guy practices Evil King’s Undying Seals, and his position on Dragon Rank isn’t that much lower than mine. Those who haven’t entered Dragon Rank, your chance is here.”

“Forget it. We’re not that confident going up against Undying Seals. Let Second and Third go.”

“That’s right. Let us handle the woman and the Mongolian.”

Once they finished speaking, two people shot out from the behind the group and twisted their necks fearlessly. They headed to the red-haired woman and Ralston.

“You’re going too far!” The red-haired woman’s expression sank, and her tone was a little strange.

The man making a beeline toward her had his expression change. He felt as if his feet had been filled with liquid lead, and they were very heavy. The relaxed expression he previously immediately vanished without a trace, and he quickly activated his qi realm and body fortification forcefully to fight against the power from Great Sky Demon Art. He stared at the red-haired woman with a solemn gaze.

Jade Faced Eagle King just cast a glance at them before he looked away derisively.

Great Sky Demon Art might be a peerless ultimate technique, but the red-haired woman’s level in using that skill was still not high enough. The person attacking her was also Lightning Eagle, and he will be more than enough to handle her.

The person going up against the purple-haired man was Iron-winged Eagle.

Both players were quickly engaged in a fight.

One used Undying Seals. It allowed the user to attack in a bizarre manner, and the damage was astonishing.

The other used Seven-winged Phoenix Trident. The weapon could protect the person’s upper body when it was stretched out fully. It was a sturdy weapon, and it was a heavy weapon that could be treated as a fan weapon as well. If the user ran into danger, they can perfectly protect themselves. When the purple-haired man’s fist landed on him while it was covered by Undying Seals, the damage was minimal. Very soon, they were locked in a fierce struggle.

The Twin Female and Male Demons were both taken by someone.

Jade Faced Eagle King did not even spare a glance at the remaining Mongolian.

Blood Eagle’s strength was the third strongest among the Thirteen Eagles, but when it came to one on one fights, he was much more dexterous and adaptable compared to Iron-winged Eagle, allowing him to catch people off guard. When he executed his killing moves using Blood Palm Print, even the gods and demons will run from him. He will not take much time in defeating a Mongolian player…

When he thought of this, Jade Faced Eagle King instantly had his eyes fixed on Wan Wan, whose curvaceous body was alluring and could wreak havoc to a person’s heart.

“Miss Wan Wan, even though I do not want to hurt such a beautiful woman as you, I cannot leave without any results tonight. I will be taking the two thousand points attached to you…”

When he said his last sentence, his tone changed.

The nine people behind him put away their steeds and quickly surrounded the entire battlefield and made sure to trap Wan Wan at the center.

Jade Faced Eagle King got down from his horse with a calm expression. He left behind a footprint with each step he took and headed slowly to Wan Wan, who remained still. A lavish and thin longsword was drawn from the sheath at his waist, and he made it draw a cold glare that sliced at the air under the night sky.

Wan Wan did not seem to have noticed the fact that she was surrounded by ten martial artists. She stared at Jade Faced Eagle King calmly and revealed a smile that could make people drunk from it.

“All the Chinese martial artists who wanted to kill me are dead…”

“Is it?”

Jade Faced Eagle King was clearly and incredibly ambitious person. Even though he was affected by Great Sky Demon Art, he soon calmed his heart and snorted coldly while he continued walking toward Wan Wan with great determination. The thin sword in his hand shuddered a little and released a long and sharp sword glare.

Wan Wan frowned a little.

Right when she was prepared to attack, a grunt suddenly rose from beside them, and the victor between Ralston and Blood Eagle had already been decided.

*****

Blood Eagle used Blood Palm Print, and Ralston used Dragon Elephant Wisdom Palm.

The former inherited the ultimate technique that was Blood Palm Print, and his palm technique was very sinister and brutal. It could compare to Little North’s Bone-corroding Palm after he equipped Thousand Year Corpse King’s Right Arm. In fact, it was even fiercer.

If those who fought against Blood Eagle were careless and bled during the fight, their lives were basically lost. Due to the poison in Blood Eagle’s palm containing special damaging effects, all his techniques that will cause a person’s blood boil will completely wear down any martial artist. When a person’s qi and blood surged, they will usually not be able to win against Blood Eagle when it came to a one on one fight.

But this time, Blood Eagle clearly did not manage to control the situation well, which led to a bad result.

He did not have any impression about Ralston. In fact, he had never heard about the Mongolian before.

That meant that he naturally thought that he was just a normal player.

As usual, he moved and wanted to use his Blood Palm Print to injure Ralston.

But right when he delivered his first strike, he noticed that there was something off about the situation.

Ralston only headed forward with a simple step, and the ground trembled faintly. A sound wave that sounded like it came from a dragon and an elephant rushed into his ears. The force on his palms seemed to have run into a wall that was erected out of the blue, and his damage was largely reduced.

When his palm landed on Ralston, his Blood Palm Print seemed as if it landed on a sturdy steel wall. He could not make Ralston bulge even in the slightest.

Ralston took his second step.

And it felt as if there was a dragon and elephant crushing down on him.

Once the sound wave ended, Blood Eagle felt as if there was a huge mountain behind him. The air in the entire area seemed to have been extracted, and he was rammed into by a force akin to an elephant charging straight at him. He had nowhere to hide. He coughed up blood on the spot and flew more than thirty feet away, and he suffered rather severe internal injuries.

“Third!”

“Third!”

When the others saw this, they were dumbfounded.

That included Jade Faced Eagle King. When he looked at Ralston again, his gaze became much more solemn.

He knew about Blood Eagles’ strength very well. Even Jade Faced Eagle King himself cannot send Blood Eagle flying within a short amount of time. The only explanation about this was that they were not at the same level.
