Chapter 332: For Money!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The area outside the small town went completely silent!

All gazes instantly focused on the mysterious man’s incomplete silver mask. They did not see any hint of mockery on his face, only determination and a fire that burned because of an indomitable spirit.

The elites from the three great sects were shocked, then sized up the mysterious man with doubtful expressions. They did not quite understand why he would mention challenging someone whom very few would dare to challenge at that moment and in that location.

They even suspected he had come from Baokang.

When Lu Mingyue noticed that the mysterious man did not have any emblem that showed his identity and that he had also never heard of a powerful player who wore a silver mask, a hint of impatience appeared on his face.

Someone from Cold Moon Palace walked out from the crowd and cursed the stranger arrogantly. “Who do you think you are? Did you think that you can actually fight just because you demanded it? Go back to where you came from…”

Right when he said those hurtful words, the mysterious man turned his face slightly, and his emotionless eyes shot through the cold holes of his mask. His gaze landed on the person who spoke without him saying a word.

At that moment, a faint chill landed on the speaker, but only Lu Mingyue, Evil Wolf, Monk with Thick Eyebrows, along with a few people from Towering Palace noticed it. Their expressions became grave, and their gazes filled with shock and bewilderment when they looked at the mysterious man.

Killing intent!

His killing intent felt as if it had physical form. Even though it only appeared for a moment, they still felt it. The mysterious man seemed to have disappeared from their sight for an instant and turned into a double-edged sword that stood tall in the room. His killing intent was so aggressive that it felt threatening! Even the strongest people present felt deeply threatened.

“Whew.” Lu Mingyue’s expression changed. He made his subordinate back away, and with a solemn expression, he walked toward the mysterious man.

“Why should I fight against you?”

“For money.” An unnaturally gloomy look flashed past Silver Wolf’s resolute face. He then added, “I need to find someone who is worthy for me to attack for the sake of money.”

The group was stunned silent. The answer clearly caught them by surprise.

Lu Mingyue did not expect it, and he frowned. “Are you a hired hand?”

“No.” Silver Wolf seemed to be a man of few words. His sentences were so short and crisp that people found it uncomfortable.

“Since you’re not hired, why did you come for me? Will you get money if you fight against me? Who’ll give it to you?” Lu Mingyue had a puzzled look.

“As long as I defeat you, the official developers will accept my battle replay, and people will naturally give me money.” Silver Wolf’s tone was as indifferent and calm as before.

Lu Mingyue and the people around him suddenly understood what was happening.

“The pay-to-view battle replay system…”

The pay-to-view system had just been launched, and someone had thought about using it to record themselves defeating famous people to earn money. By the looks of it, he was another one of those people who were affected by Happy.

Lu Mingyue could not hold back from feeling frustrated. But when he remembered that he was now so famous that someone challenged him, he calmed down.

“You came specifically for me?”

When he saw that Lu Mingyue seemed to have understood and accepted his challenge, Silver Wolf answered faintly, “That’s right.”

Then, right before the group’s shocked gazes, he brought out his weapon.

It had a parting hook!

At the end of the longsword was a terrifying arc that formed a hook. It looked very aggressive and threatening.

“That’s your weapon?”

“I’m Silver Wolf, please grant me your instructions.”

Silver Wolf no longer wasted his breath and took hold of a pair of parting hooks in a reverse grip. With his cold and determined expression under his mysterious and incomplete silver mask, he looked very cool.

Evil Wolf and Monk with Thick Eyebrows frowned slightly.

Lu Mingyue’s strength was enough for him to be on par with the top ten on the Dragon and Phoenix Rank. There were few in the game who could fight against him, but for some reason, they felt like something unexpected might happen when he faced the mysterious and cold Silver Wolf, who stood tall, exuded the presence of a soldier, and held the strange weapon.

“Hmph!”

Still, Lu Mingyue was one of the strongest players in the game right then. He had extraordinary confidence and pride, and he would not cast aside his dignity because of some strange person.

He spread his hands, and under loud cries of surprise in the area, he spread his red robe and drifted out from the group. He stopped in the air above Silver Wolf’s head like an immortal.

The Cold Moon Palace members stared at Silver Wolf with smug expressions while Silver Wolf had a grave look on his face, though he still snorted derisively.

To the Cold Moon Palace members, there was not much meaning to the fight. The difference in strength was too great!

“As long as you can force me down, I will attack; otherwise, it would be best for you to choose another target to challenge.” Lu Mingyue’s tone was cold, and his actions showed his pride.

Silver Wolf frowned and patted his waist without batting an eyelid.

He then placed a small and exquisite boomerang on the hook. The next moment, the boomerang and parting hook seemed to come alive. The boomerang,bfixed tightly on the hook, spun around madly. The parting hook looked as if it had endless magic contained in it. With just the spinning, Silver Wolf made it seem as if the boomerang was stuck on the longsword.

“Go!”

He shook his parting hook, and the boomerang turned into a sharp whirlwind that could not be detected with a naked eye. It roared and flew out.

A crystalline light trailed behind it without any target. It sliced through the air before it howled and vanished.

Lu Mingyue shuddered without warning, as if his balance had been interfered with, and he nearly fell from the sky.

The pupils of Evil Wolf, Monk with Thick Eyebrows, and the others who knew what was going on shrank!

‘So fast!’

The attack speed of the boomerang surpassed even the speed of high-tier throwing knife techniques at Grandmaster Realm. They could not capture its attack trajectory, and at some point in time, the boomerang cut off one of Lu Mingyue’s threads, which was connected to a flying needle.

But Lu Mingyue reacted quickly. He swiftly used a second flying needle to regain his balance.

However, right when he regained his balance and before he could even put on a relieved expression, a ray of light suddenly came charging at him!

Slap!

Lu Mingyue was shocked and alarmed. The thread of the flying needle that he had thrown just then was instantly cut. He was caught off guard and could not help but fall to the ground from the sky.

Buzzzz!

The boomerang returned to Silver Wolf’s parting hook, and it spun even faster than before. Silver Wolf looked at Lu Mingyue with an indifferent expression and asked mockingly, “Do I have the right now?”

Lu Mingyue’s eyelid twitched. A solemn expression then appeared on his face because of the abilities Silver Wolf had showed. He stared at Silver Wolf’s boomerang, and he hid his hands in his sleeves.

Even the elites who were watching the fight by the side were shocked!

The boomerang had clearly left their field of vision and surpassed a throwing knife’s greatest attack range, so they did not expect that it could still come back. Moreover, Silver Worlf had accurately judged and controlled the trajectory of Lu Mingyue’s second flying need. This ability alone was enough to threaten the powerful players on the Dragon and Phoenix Ranks.

As expected, Silver Wolf did not come with good intentions!

Everyone’s wariness increased. At the same time, they could no longer determine who would win the fight.

Whoosh!

The boomerang once again vanished from the parting hook.

Lu Mingyue focused. He moved his feet on the ground, and around a dozen flying needles were thrown in a manner as if a woman had just flung her hair.

They might have seemed harmless, but in truth, each flying needle was under Lu Mingyue’s control, and with Sunflower Aura helping him, he could control their speed and direction at any time he liked, making them unpredictable.

It was the profound secret behind Needle Tide!

But Silver Wolf did something that no one expected. He moved forward with swift and short footsteps. With each step, his speed increased until he charged forward!

He suddenly threw the parting hook in his left hand, and it went charging at Lu Mingyue at lightning speed!

The onlookers were dumbfounded.

The weapon had been released from his hand!

Someone actually dared to do such a thing during a duel?!
