Chapter 760

…

The leader of the group of gold armored protectors wearing a special emblem suddenly began attacking Shin Jiao. His speed is fast and his strikes are accurate. He leaves one after image after another as he attack.

Shin Jiao followed the movement of his opponent and discover that the man is striking his vital parts. This alone could tell that his opponent is seriously trying to kill him.

Luna on the side suddenly dodges to the side as she decided to move away from Shin Jiao's battle.

Although she has not experienced a lot of fighting in the immortal land, yet in her old planet, she is still one of the best hunters. So she knew that if she would draw closer to Shin Jiao it would greatly affect his fight. She also did not activate her armor as she thought that her opponents are not that strong anyway. 

With that in mind, she drew her opponents away.

Controlling her flying swords, the two she is facing are having a hard time against her. Although they could use spells and projectiles, it is not enough to damage the sturdy flying blades that would defend and attack them.

Seeing that she is using flying blades, the two suddenly decided to take out their flying swords.

They then used it to attack Luna.

Two flying swords suddenly flew in Luna's direction.

Seeing those things, Luna showed a sneer on her face.

As the enemy's flying swords flew towards her, her attackers also charge in her direction. This made it look like she is fighting against four enemies.

Luna just looks at those two people and their flying swords with a serious expression. Suddenly, from her hand, two daggers appear.

Using the daggers, she parried the two swords trying to stab her, while her flying swords suddenly flew towards the two attacking flying swords.

Crash! Clank! Clank!

The sound of metal hitting metal reverberated through the air.

Luna parried the swords, while her two flying blades hit the enemy's flying swords in the middle and broke them in half.

When the flying swords broke, the two she is facing suddenly had a slight headache. They immediately held their heads as if something just snapped inside their minds.

But that was enough for Luna to make her move.

Puchi! Puchi!

She did not hesitate to slice their necks.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao is currently facing the leader of the group who is now attacking him relentlessly.

The leader is quick and his sword is precise, however, it would always miss Shin Jiao at the right moment.

"Hyperfocus…" he suddenly muttered.

His words made Shin Jiao frown. This is because, that word and the name of the skill, he is very familiar with it. That was the time when he was still on earth and his teacher taught him this skill. His teacher, the old man from Japan, called this skill 'Hyperfocus…'.

It is a skill to dodge any strike with a minimum movement. It took him a very long time to learn this skill and after meeting another master from his own country, he was able to perfect it. 

As time went by, he learned that it has been called with many names, like One Inch Dodge, or shifting stance, or etc…, but for him, Hyperfocus is the right name for his skill.

And now someone else suddenly uses the same name for his skill. And this made him curious how this guy was able to know the name of this skill.

Shin Jiao suddenly extended his hand and with a grab, he caught the arm of his opponent. Like two strong claws, Shin Jiao did not let go of his opponent's hands. Then with a simple twist, the sword on his opponent's hand fell to the ground.

"Who are you?" Shin Jiao asked with a serious expression.

The leader of the group did not reply but instead glared at Shin Jiao. The man is now scared at the strength this commoner is exerting.

But how could he lower himself as a special guard of the Osmond clan? He belongs to Ignacio Osmond's faction, and their faction looks down on people who do not belong to the clan. He knew that this lowly person does not belong to any clan for that matter. And this is the reason why they decided to exert their authority to make him submit.

However, how could he know that this guy is truly this strong just like what the rumor said? Although he is showing a strong front, inside of him, he is already sweating buckets.

He did not want to be shamed and be a laughing stock of their force. Hence he decided to not talk and swore that he would get revenge for this humiliation.

As Shin Jiao did not receive any answer from the guy. He knew that this person would be obstinate until the end. Hence he decided to just end this farce.

Suddenly, a palanquin stopped not too far from them.

Shin Jiao lifted his hand to deliver a killing blow to his opponent.

"Stop!" a deep voice from the palanquin boomed.

But how could he obey the command of someone he did not know? So with that, he immediately snapped the neck of the leader with a simple neck chop move.

"How dare you a mere commoner attack my people?!" shouted the man inside the palanquin.

"Guards! Bring that man down!" he shouted with a tone of anger.

From behind the palanquin, a large number of soldiers in silver and gold armor rush towards Shin Jiao.

Shin Jiao just showed a faint smile on his face.

He took a glance at Luna and saw her walking towards him.

With a nod of his head, Luna suddenly jumps in his arms, and the two of them suddenly turned into dust.

"Stop them!" shouted the guy in the palanquin but it was all too late.

Shin Jiao and Luna have already disappeared from their spot.

"Damn it! Get me that rebel! Arrest all of his people!" commanded the man in anger.

Meanwhile, inside the Mystique blacksmith shop, a group of armed soldiers suddenly came barging in. When the employees saw this, they immediately touch the runes on the display stand and also the emblems on their chest.

The customers who are still inside the shop were all startled while looking at the pouring soldiers inside the shop. Behind the soldiers in silver and gold armors followed a tall and handsome young man wearing a luxurious robe. Beside that young man is another man with a dark blue robe and a silver circlet on his head.

The man has an imposing look on his face as he walks inside the shop.

Everyone looks at the soldiers with confusion in their eyes. Suddenly, one of the customers who look like he has some status in the town steps forward. This person came to this shop to buy a gift for his daughter's birthday. And because of the soldiers barging in, his plan was all ruined again.

It has been a while since the Mystique Blacksmith Shop has been attacked. But those who knew how the shop operates knew that once the shop is attacked they would hide for a long time before appearing once again. And this made the man showed reluctance and anger in his eyes. How could he miss his gift for his beloved daughter?

"What is happening? Why are you guys raiding this place?" he said with a frown.

Seeing that the man is wearing luxurious clothes, the soldiers did not react and just stood on guard. Then one of the domineering young men walks forward.

"You people should go out and leave. This is the business of the Osmond clan. I suggest you obey… or else we will imprison you and your families." The young man shouted with an imposing manner and while glaring at the man.

When everyone heard this, they all showed disapproval towards the attitude of the young man and the soldiers. But they did not have a choice but to obey. The Osmond clan is the ruler of this area, so how could they disobey their rules.

As the people grumbled while walking out, the two sneered and excitedly began to look around the shop.

However, what they saw next, made them dumbfounded.

"What is this?" shouted one of the young men.

"What happened to the items displayed in this shop?!"

The two began to go around the shop and saw nothing. What they can just see on the display stand were clumps of sands. It was like everything suddenly turned into sands.

They did not know that this is the fail-safe method that Shin Jiao created for the shop. If someone attacks them, a barrier is too troublesome to set up and it would be troublesome for the shop's customer. On the contrary, teleporting everyone to the underground workshop is a much easier option.

So now, the only thing that could be seen inside the shop is an empty display case with sand on them.

Those two young people from the Osmond clan suddenly went wild and began destroying the shop.

And so once again, the shop was destroyed.

Meanwhile, the training ground for alchemists, craftsmen, and array masters in the next building is also being attacked.

But since this is a facility built by the town, it did not have the teleportation function, but instead, it is protected by a very sturdy barrier.

While the gold and silver armored soldiers tried to barge inside, they were met with a strong barrier.

"Open this damned thing! We are here to inspect this place by order of High Lord Ignacio Osmond! You are hereby commanded to obey this command!" shouted one of the two young men who is wearing a circlet.

The two wanted to raid the shop but they walk out in dejection and wanted to vent their anger to the training facility.
