"You really thought you could fight us?!" The man spits out blood, they were in the same level of cultivation rank yet the sword thief was faster than him.

"Come at me! like what I said I won't be going down without a fight!"

"You dare-!! Attack him!" The red robed man ordered his subordinates to attack the sword thief.

"Die!!" The one with sword charged to the sword thief and swung his weapon down to him.

"HAH!" The sword thief sidestepped successfully evading his attack then sent out his palm to his opponent's shoulder, making a shockwave from his palm, the moment his opponent was knocked away another one came to him, he was wearing a green robe, it indicates that he was one level above him.

The sword thief turned around and swung his fist to the green robed man.

BANG!

Their fist met each other,the green robed man had no weapons but he was in par with the sword thief's speed and was a little stronger than him.

The green robed man frowned He never expected the sword thief to be almost as strong as him, he decided to press harder with his attacks.

They traded blows after blows and the sword thief was getting pushed back as the fight lasts longer, soon the green robed man landed a blow on the sword thief's face knocking him back stopping the fight for a bit.

"Not bad for a thief!"

"Not bad your face! you're just a little stronger than me" The Sword thief wiped the blood of his mouth then went back to his battle stance.

"A little? Hmp!" The green robed man swiftly made a roundhouse kick, it caught the sword thief off guard and was sent flying to a nearby tree.

"You call that a little stronger?" The green robed man smirked at the sword thief

"You caught me off guard but you'll never get lucky again!" The sword thief stood up then prepared for the next attack which came the moment he was done speaking, he successfully evaded the green robed man's fist then sent out a punch in his stomach followed by another punch to his face.

The green robed man received the punch in the stomach but successfully blocked the sword thief's second attack, he tried to punch back but the sword thief was already out of his range.

"Told you'll never get lucky agai-" Before the sword thief finished talking a sword slashed on his back.

"AARGHH!!"

"Have you forgot? This is 3 vs 1!" The Sword Wielding Man shouted as he swipe the blood off his sword.

"Y-you cowards!" He could still stand after being slashed by a sword on his back, he could still fight but his injury would be a heavy burden to him.

"Now you are weaker!" The green robed man jumped then kicked the sword thief in the face , The sword thief tried to block it but failed.

BOOM!! a shockwave was made by the kick, the sword thief was once again sent flying to the nearby tree.

The tree fell over from the impact that the sword thief made when he landed on it, the tides of the battle was easily turned against the sword thief by the backstabbing, from an even battle it was turned into an unfair battle.

"Haah..Haahh....Can you please spare my life?" He was heavily injured now, he could barely stand up, he was dizzy and he could do nothing but beg for his life, he no longer has a chance of escaping.

"Where's your confidence now huh?"

"You stole the magical sword and now you dare to beg for your life?" The green robed man walked to him then unleashed another powerful kick that sent him flying to a tree nearby.

"KUH!" Blood spurted out of his mouth as he hit the tree.

"You thought we'd let you die that easily?" He kicked him once again, this time the tree was destroyed by his kick.

"I....I only touched the sword! it recognized me at its owner! I didn't steal it!"

"You ran off with it! " The red robed man came over and gave him a kick, it was not as strong as the green robed man's kick but it still harmed the sword thief.

"I was going to get killed! who would let themself get killed just because he touched a god damn sword! there werent even signs that were telling me that touching your wares are not allowed!"

"He only touched the sword? isn't killing him for that a bit overboard?" Lucio thought that the sword thief stole it in purpose but it looks like he only touched it and the sword recognized him as its owner, why did they even let him touch the sword?
