Chapter 979 833: Exquisitely Crafted
With both Wu Jinliang and San shouting, it would be odd if Shi Chun didn't react. He quickly reached out to grab people, pushed Wu Jinliang and Xiao Sheng towards An Wuzhi and Zhu Xiangxin respectively, while San was directly swept into his bag with a wave of his sleeve.
There was no need to linger here. He used Wu Jinliang's Big Blade to clear the path at the front, while Tong Mingshan controlled the white light to break off the rear.
The people rushing nearby couldn't be bothered to clash with them now; stopping these guys would only offer others a chance to snatch the Sky Splitting Sword. Hesitate for a moment and one might find themselves dead.
East Victory Team had deployed forces in secret to seize the advantage, while the other three teams had arranged for strategic ambushes.
The latter's target for robbery should have been Shi Chun and his group. They planned to wait for Blue Child's action, and when Shi Chun and his associates became vulnerable, they would immediately step in to snatch, but unexpectedly, Shi Chun's group threw away the Sky Splitting Sword and the Token.
The reason for targeting Shi Chun's group was precisely for the Token and the Sky Splitting Sword. Now that Shi Chun's group threw away these items, even a fool would know what to do.
First, snatch the Sky Splitting Sword and Token, particularly the Sky Splitting Sword. Now that Blue Child had used his last chance to strike, whoever got the Sky Splitting Sword would form its usage alliance and possess the strongest capability to win the trophy.
If you don't seize it now and let East Victory gain the Sky Splitting Sword and form a team, there will be no chance to snatch it again.
As for Shi Chun's group's treasure armor, though valuable, circumstances change. Without the corresponding strength, mere defense is useless; it can't withstand a group attack, so leave it to the rear forces to intercept.
However, the rear forces didn't understand their intent. To maintain secrecy, their actions were not revealed to others in advance.
Blue Child seeing the troops from various teams rushing over clearly coming to rob, understood what they were after and was somewhat panicked. Being from East Victory Team, whether he should help maintain the Token was a dilemma.
Normally, he should defend it, but the issue lay in him having already exhausted his three opportunities to take action.
With no choice left, he could only shout in a hoarse voice to the leader, "For you!"
He pushed those Tokens and the Sky Splitting Sword flying over, then turned around to run, holding that lantern with a clear threat signal to the surroundings: anyone acting recklessly would have to face the consequences.
Just at that moment, the East Victory leader, realizing the situation had taken a turn, had already dashed forward intending to seize the Sky Splitting Sword.
The two seemed to have an unspoken understanding.
The leader swiftly pulled the Sky Splitting Sword to his grasp while sweeping a number of flying Tokens into his bag. However, upon obtaining the sword, he realized his own scattered members became the obstacle in utilizing the Sky Splitting Sword, and immediately shouted to them: "Rally!"
Intending to quickly form a Sky Splitting Sword usage alliance.
Nonetheless, the forces rushing from various directions, though slower in grabbing items, successfully intruded when the team attempted to rally, resulting in a thunderous melee right there.
Nanshan, West Niu, and Beiju's assault teams rushed full-speed precisely for this. Only by engaging in a melee mix with East Victory's forces could they prevent the easy deployment of the opponent's Sky Splitting Sword.
Indeed, that was the case. The sword holder seemed hesitant.
This slight hesitation allowed several to pounce upon him for an attack.
As it goes, times change. Without Shi Chun and the likes of Su Jikuan and Luo Que, this group fiercely fought for merit, being ruthless and fierce.
No choice, securing the prize meant a substantial accolade. Previously when Luo Que and the likes were around, disregarding the chances of victory, chief merit would never go to them.
The surrounding army wasn't merely for show; perceiving it as a pivotal moment, they surged forward, howling to assist.
Perhaps due to Tong Mingshan's intimidating presence, the forces rushing head-on unexpectedly gave up targeting Shi Chun's group, preferring to leap forward for the critical seizure.
Then, even the rear forces feeling unaware, upon seeing the frontline not halting Shi Chun's group continued to rush forward while avoiding Shi Chun's group.
This situation left Shi Chun utterly bewildered.
His purpose in throwing the fake Token and fake Sky Splitting Sword was primarily to cancel Blue Child's three-strike agreement; as long as Blue Child's strike opportunities were exhausted, the encirclement of the army wouldn't instill fear, challenging them to dare to fight across the field.
Additionally, he aimed to force the others to reveal whether they still concealed any lethal moves.
He anticipated that discarding fake items might alleviate the situation but didn't foresee such remarkable outcomes. Astonishingly, the Four Great Royal Court Teams directly allowed a free pass, puzzled by this occurrence! Was there a hidden trap waiting ahead?
Things advanced too smoothly for him to readily accept. Would they abandon the Jiyuan Token and their treasure armor?
Unbeknownst that if not for their previously earned prestige, things would have unfolded differently.
The East Victory leader holding the Sky Splitting Sword, besieged by three factions, couldn't withstand. He eventually made a bold decision; rather than perishing himself, he opted to sacrifice his own team, immediately channeling the sword's power, intending to wield its indiscriminately sweeping force.
Yet, as he initiated the sword's sweeping slash, his eyes bulged when realizing the anomaly; he furiously roared: "Fake! This Sky Splitting Sword is fake, we've been duped, have your men stop and don't let Shi Chun escape."
Among those fighting, the Nanshan leader sneered: "Fake? How about giving it to me?"
Meaning clear: verifying the authenticity of his claim wasn't complex.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, the person indeed tossed the 'Sky Splitting Sword' over, startling him, matching Blue Child's reaction, disbelieving such fortune, opting to suspend the item via magic, refusing direct handling.
