Every time Crystal swung her sword, it left a bleeding gash on the bearded- burly man. Within moments, he had been stabbed over a dozen times, left without any means of defense.
Despite his strength, she outclassed him entirely in skill. The spectators were amazed and impressed as her advanced swordsmanship shone brightly.
“Ah!” the bearded-burly man cried in agony.
With his tendons severed, he collapsed onto the ground. He was now crippled, covered in blood and numerous wounds, though they were not fatal.
“Chief!” The Butcher Guild disciples were shocked and enraged to witness their typically imposing and unstoppable chief suffering in such a manner.
“Damn it! How dare you hurt our chief? You’re pushing your luck!”
“Everyone! Let’s teach this bitch a lesson!”
The Butcher Guild disciples roared, brandishing their machetes and charging at Crystal with anger.
She snorted coldly and mercilessly thrust her sword into the attacking crowd. “Ember Strike!”
In less than a moment, the Butcher Guild disciples were screaming and collapsing to the ground. Some had broken hands, others broken feet, and blood splattered everywhere.
“Great job with that sword, Crystal!” the girl in red cheered.
“Hmph! These troublemakers dared to challenge the mighty Sword Union. They don’t know their place!” Miles spat disdainfully.
“What… what? You’re the Sword Union disciples?” Upon hearing this, the faces of the Butcher Guild members turned pale with fear.
The Sword Union was one of the three major sects in the martial world, alongside the World Society and the Mystic Arts Order. Although the Sword Union had few disciples, each one was exceptional.
A standout among them was Glenn. He was young but already on the Legendary List, ranking tenth on the Astonishing World List. This made him one of the top elites in the world.
The Sword Union claimed two spots in the top ten of the Astonishing World List, solidifying their leadership among the three major factions.
The Butcher Guild disciples were unaware they would run into the Sword Union disciples. If the Butcher Guild disciples had known, no amount of bravery would have encouraged them to be so daring.
Miles stepped forward, planted his foot on the bearded-burly man’s chest, and said condescendingly, “What’s the matter? Are you feeling scared now? Weren’t you guys pretty arrogant just a moment ago? Let’s see if you can keep up the tough act.”
“We messed up, and we won’t do it again! Please have mercy and let us go! “The bearded-burly man, looking worried, pleaded for forgiveness.
Crystal spoke coldly, “Don’t let me catch sight of you again. Hurry up and scram!”
“Yes, we’re leaving!” The bearded- burly man nodded and hastily signaled his companions to carry him out.
Soon, the troublemakers disappeared without a trace.
“Crystal, why did you let them go? They’re all scum of the martial world,” the girl in red asked, looking confused.
“They’re already crippled. They won’t cause any trouble in the future. Let them live,” Crystal replied calmly.
No intense hatred existed, so there was no reason to kill the Butcher Guild members.
“Thank you for the help, Miss. We’re truly grateful.” Dalen promptly stood up and expressed his gratitude.
Crystal shook her head slightly and said, “Just a small gesture, not a big deal.”
“You’re gorgeous, miss. Be careful when you’re out and about,” the girl in red sweetly warned.
“Miss, are you hurt? I know about medicine. Would you like me to check?” Miles approached with a gentle smile, appearing like a caring man.
Upon hearing this, the corner of Dalen’s mouth twitched, and with a strange expression, he said, “I’m a man.”
