Chapter 955:
Shisu was secretly alarmed. The impact of those two Thunder Bombs was incredibly strong. Robb was most likely either dead or seriously injured. A wave of sadness washed over her. Although Robb always talked nonsense, he didnt seem like a bad person. He had even saved her multiple times. With his mysterious skills, it angered her to think that he was taken down by such a minor trick.
Her eyes turned a bit red, although they were already red to begin with, so it wasnt noticeable. You scoundrel, your methods are truly despicable, she said bitterly.
The man in black laughed heartily. Despicable? Sounds like the words of someone whos powerless and angry. That guy was overly confident, daring enough to catch concealed weapons with his hands. If hes dead, he had it coming.
Ill fight you, Shisu swiftly unsheathed her longsword.
The man in black drew a stick.
Just then, both heard a voice: Whats the big idea? You thought a lousy bomb would finish me off? Do you think Im that weak?
The moment the voice rang out, the man in black leapt backward, distancing himself, and pressed against the courtyard wall. Shisu turned around joyfully and saw Robb standing there, completely naked.
She screamed and lowered her bunny ears to cover her eyes, Why arent you wearing any clothes?
Robb responded, annoyed, I just came out of the bath when your people decided to bomb me. Did you give me a chance to get dressed? And just to let you know, its very dangerous to cover your eyes in the middle of a fight.
Shisu quickly opened her eyes but took care not to look in Robbs direction, focusing instead on the man in black.
The man in black was utterly dumbfounded, Youre unscathed? Not a single injury?
Robb grinned, My protective qi is quite strong. Your little explosions cant break it.
The man in black yelled, Stop lying! My Thunder Bombs contain runes that can break the cultivation base of Daoist and Immortal cultivators. No one can withstand two of them and live.
Robb quipped, Ah, apologies then. From today onward, my name will be No One.
Robb likewise sighed, If we cover your face and just look at your body, youre actually quite beautiful.
Both of them:
The conversation had reached an awkward impasse.
Both were considering going back to their rooms to rest, but before they could turn around, a thundering sound of hooves approached from outside the estate. It sounded large-scale, indicating a significant cavalry force.
Robb wondered, They didnt send an army to seize the mysterious ore, did they?
Shisu replied, The government isnt that bored; they wont forcibly take things from the martial arts community.
Both of them floated up onto the wall to see what was happening outside.
They saw a large group of cavalrymen racing along the official road beside the Qiantang River. There were easily more than a thousand of them. They didnt stop when they reached the front of the Qiantang Sects large estate; they merely galloped past, clearly not there for Shisu.
After the cavalry had passed, an even larger group of infantry followed, numbering at least in the tens of thousands. They marched in a grand and imposing manner, forming a single, long line.
Shisu, as someone from the martial arts world, preferred to avoid dealings with the government. Seeing that these soldiers were simply passing by and not coming for her, she decided not to get involved.
However, Robb had no qualms about interacting with government forces. Perched atop the wall, he called out to the passing infantry, Hey, soldiers! Where are you all headed?
The ordinary soldiers ignored him, but a man who appeared to be a Commander turned his head and glanced at Robb. Initially, he wasnt going to respond, but noticing Robbs blonde hair and Western appearance, he couldnt help but answer, We are on a mission to eliminate the ghost pirates. If you, as a foreigner, have any information related to these bandits, feel free to share.
Robb: Wow, is that so? My apologies for not knowing. I dont have any information, but I will cheer you all on! Go, go, go!
The soldiers:
