Chapter 385: Violation

Nanyu walked to the window to purchase information regarding the Ancient Relic.

Not long after, she left the window.

"Captain, how did it go?" Tiechui leaned in and asked.

Nanyu frowned: "The Ancient Relic is much more dangerous than imagined; it is rumored that there are mechanisms inside capable of threatening High-level Professionals."

"High-level Professionals?" Tiechui gasped, contributing a bit to the warming climate, "This means this Ancient Relic is very dangerous."

High-level Professionals are considered powerhouses in any city.

And she once had the potential to become a High-level Professional.

Unfortunately, being backstabbed was a thorn in Nanyu's heart.

"Therefore, we must be even more careful; do not enter until we have sufficient information," Nanyu said.

While stepping into the ranks of High-level Professionals is certainly attractive, one's life is the most important thing.

"Don't worry, Captain." Tiechui nodded, knowing the importance of the matter.

The two stood in the Adventurer Hall and interacted with other adventurers to learn more information about the relic.

Just then, a rough voice came over.

"Yo, isn't this the beautiful captain of the Qixin Adventure Team? What brings you to Iron Stone City?"

A group of seven people appeared outside the Adventurer Hall.

The leader was an extremely burly man; what was most eye-catching was the nose ring on the tip of his nose.

Behind the nose-ring man stood six people, who looked at Nanyu with malicious expressions.

Seeing these seven, a flash of killing intent and anger crossed Tiechui's eyes, and he gritted his teeth: "Kuangfeng Adventure Team!"

Nanyu's expression was also very ugly.

Their Qixin Adventure Team had a deep grudge against the Kuangfeng Adventure Team.

It could be said that their team being backstabbed and everyone being poisoned was the handiwork of the Kuangfeng Adventure Team.

After being poisoned, the Qixin Adventure Team left their original city just to avoid the Kuangfeng Adventure Team for a while.

Once the poison was cleared and their strength increased, they would return to seek revenge on the Kuangfeng Adventure Team.

"I heard that Eliu Flower had surfaced in the Ancient Relic of Iron Stone City, so I guessed that you definitely wouldn't let this opportunity pass.

Sure enough, you came to Iron Stone City." The nose-ring man wore a smug smile on his face.

Back then, because of a High-Grade fierce beast, they had backstabbed the Qixin Adventure Team.

Their consistent practice was to cut weeds and eliminate the roots.

As a result, the Qixin Adventure Team fled, and there was no news of them.

Tiekuang had always kept it in mind.

He came to Iron Stone City this time, firstly to find the people of the Qixin Adventure Team and cut weeds and eliminate the roots, and secondly, to enter the Ancient Relic to scavenge for some resources.

"Nanyu, this time... how will you escape?" Tiekuang grinned, his eyes filled with a satisfied smile.

Behind him, the six professionals drew their weapons, blocking Nanyu and Tiechui inside the Adventurer Hall.

Tiekuang felt his luck was quite good; he had just entered the city and already saw the people from the Qixin Adventure Team.

He killed the people of the Qixin Adventure Team, firstly to cut weeds and eliminate the roots, and secondly, because he needed Nanyu's blood.

Tiechui's eyes were full of killing intent as he held his hammer: "Tiekuang, you are going too far!"

Tiekuang was a High-level Professional, and his level was not low.

It could be said that Tiekuang alone could wipe out the current Qixin Adventure Team.

They were simply no match for the Kuangfeng Adventure Team.

Nanyu was also incredibly nervous; she had worried about encountering the Kuangfeng Adventure Team, but she had been hoping for luck, never expecting to actually run into them.

The surrounding adventurers, seeing this scene, left one after another.

Among them, many adventurers looked at Nanyu with pity.

The Kuangfeng Adventure Team was well-known and had a fearsome reputation.

None of the adventurers present were willing to offend them.

However, just then, a young man walked out from the window in the Adventurer Hall specifically responsible for players.

"Private fighting is prohibited in Iron Stone City; violators will die!"

Hearing this, Nanyu felt a surge of joy in her heart.

Right, private fighting is prohibited in Iron Stone City!

"Tiekuang, it is true that we have a grudge, but private fighting is prohibited in Iron Stone City.

Since we have entered the city, we must follow the rules; we can settle our grudge after we leave the city." Nanyu was stalling.

"Haha, 'prohibited private fighting', this rule is too funny!" Hearing this, Tiekuang laughed, "I will kill you today; don't even think about escaping like last time!"

Seeing this, the young man who had walked out of the special window continued: "Iron Stone City is the territory of the Nine Prince; private fighting is prohibited, otherwise... when the lords of the Guard Team arrive, you..."

"Noisy." Tiekuang flicked his hand, and a burst of energy landed on the young man.

"Puff!" The young man immediately spat blood, suffered heavy injuries, and fainted.

"Hmph, even in Dayun City, the City Lord has to be polite when seeing our captain; a nameless Iron Stone City has so many rules and still wants to meddle in the affairs of our Kuangfeng Adventure Team—truly overestimating themselves." The team members behind Tiekuang spoke with disdain.

They were used to being arrogant and domineering, and in a remote city like Iron Stone City, they were even more contemptuous of everyone.

Of course, they had the capital for it.

After all, there were two High-level Professionals in the Kuangfeng Adventure Team.

The other few were only one step away from being High-level Professionals.

Tiekuang's professional level was a full 13.

As long as the team members joined forces and did not run into those kinds of monsters or Legendary beings, they had nothing to fear.

This has also created their current arrogant and overbearing nature.

The surrounding adventurers saw this scene and all scattered away.

After all, the Kuangfeng Adventure Team had too much baleful aura; one look told you they were not to be trifled with.

"Nanyu, will you surrender, or?" Tiekuang looked at Nanyu with a smile in his eyes; to him, the strike just now was nothing more than a casual gesture.

Nanyu's gaze was cold: "After all these years, Tiekuang, your personality hasn't changed a bit; you are still just as overbearing...

This is Iron Stone City after all; on someone else's turf, it is better to follow the rules. Let us... fight outside the city."

At this moment, Nanyu had no way out.

The only chance was to hope that Tiekuang would be wary of the Nine Prince of Iron Stone City.

However, looking at Tiekuang's performance just now, he clearly did not hold Iron Stone City in any regard.

Tiekuang's eyes held a smile: "Nanyu, you really have regressed as you've aged.

Stop being so naive; the rules of this city are worth nothing. Now, I am going to capture you!"

The few people behind Tiekuang formed a formation, and magic scrolls were continuously being dropped.

Nanyu was not strong, but her methods for escaping were very powerful, and they had to be on guard.

These magic scrolls were specifically to Imprison space and restrict Nanyu.

And just at this moment, a group of players walked over with excited expressions on their faces.

"Damn it, we don't even dare to break the rules set by the Manager, yet these NPCs dare to break them.

Brothers, charge for us, beat the hell out of them!"

One player shouted, incredibly excited.

The other players also showed joy on their faces.

"The Manager said that those who break the rules are red-named enemies, and we can fight them!"

A group of five low-level players immediately grabbed their weapons in excitement and charged over.

In the Adventurer Hall, many people saw this scene.

"Look, those are the warriors under the Nine Prince; they are going to make a move on the Kuangfeng Adventure Team!"

"What are they saying? I can't understand them at all!"

"What language is that!"

Only then did Tiekuang realize that the group of people speaking an incomprehensible language were subordinates of the Nine Prince.

"What kind of bird language is that!" Tiekuang was quite disdainful. He looked at the players, "With subordinates of this caliber, you still forbid private duels?"

Although the language was not understood, the emotions were still communicated.

These players naturally saw the disdain in Tiekuang's eyes.

Seeing this look, the players immediately became angry.

In reality, no one had ever looked at them like that before.

"Kill!"

The group of five players charged toward Tiekuang.

"Trash." Tiekuang was even more disdainful. He held his heavy sword and swiped it in one motion.

In an instant, one player was swiped away; he raised his sword again, and another player was swiped away.

In just a few breaths, all the players were swiped away and severely injured.

These players were all low-level professionals; how could they be a match for a High-level Professional like Tiekuang?

"Not killing you is giving face to the master of Iron Stone City." After dealing with the players, Tiekuang's eyes were full of disdain.

"Damn it, damn it." These players were very angry. They could not understand Tiekuang's words, but based on Tiekuang's expression, they could understand the humiliation.

"Wangquan, you know a little bit of game language, curse them to death, tell them they are finished!"

The person named Wangquan struggled to stand up and shouted loudly using stumbling Common Tongue.

"Assaulting citizens, you... are dead, the Guard Team will be here soon!"

In the end, Wangquan did not curse, because he did not know how to curse using game language.

Hearing Wangquan's words, Tiekuang laughed: "The Guard Team isn't all made up of trash like you, is it?

Raising this group of trash, yet forbidding private duels in the city!

Where did you get the confidence to set such rules?"

The surrounding adventurers, seeing this scene, also began to look down on Iron Stone City and did not take the rules of Iron Stone City to heart.

Wangquan felt very stifled and wished he could log off, find a big shot to hack the game for him, and beat these NPCs to death.

"Help me take a message to the Nine Prince: without strength, it is better to act like an ostrich; don't go around setting rules blindly." Tiekuang said mockingly to those few players.

The surrounding adventurers heard this and also laughed.

And just at this moment, an angry voice came over.

"Good, to think there is actually someone who dares to ignore the rules of our Iron Stone City."

Wangquan heard the voice, and an excited expression appeared on his face.

The people from the Guard Team had arrived!

And there were seven of them!

The people in the Guard Team were all high-level players!

Currently, the average level of the Guard Team had already reached level 12!

"Ganglie, this group of people not only ignored the rules of Iron Stone City and hit people, but they also humiliated us players as trash and insulted the Manager; hurry and teach them a lesson for us!"

Wangquan's Common Tongue was learned from Ganglie; he and Ganglie were very close in reality.

Ganglie was the one who recommended he play this game.

Ganglie nodded, his gaze falling upon Tiekuang: "It seems the people of our Guard Team have been too low-key; any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to clamor within the city."

At this moment, Tiekuang's expression became slightly grave.

Because he could not discern the strength of this Guard Team member at a glance, he felt a slight wariness in his heart.

However, he was also a man who cared about face and had great confidence in the Kuangfeng Adventure Team.

Moreover, the previous group of people were all low-level professionals; how strong could these Guard Team members be?

"My Kuangfeng Adventure Team does things, and you are not yet qualified to interfere!

However, I will give your Nine Prince face today; once I take these two down, I will leave Iron Stone City," Tiekuang said casually.

He was accustomed to being arrogant; even in large cities, their Kuangfeng Adventure Team could be considered experts and were honored guests of the City Lord.

In a small city like this, he did not hold the City Lord in any regard at all, even if that City Lord was a prince of the Shaya Kingdom.

A flash of killing intent crossed Ganglie's eyes, and he spoke coldly: "Violating city regulations, injuring city residents, and speaking insolently to the Guard Team—the crime... is punishable by death!"

The other few Guard Team players also had solemn expressions and surrounded them.

They were not only enforcing city regulations but also establishing their authority.

Seven people stepped forward and instantly surrounded the Kuangfeng Adventure Team.

"Kill them all, leave none alive," Ganglie said.

"Rest assured, this group ran into the barrel of a gun; we certainly cannot let them go."

The seven Guard Team players struck at this moment simultaneously.

A powerful aura spread out at this moment.

Tiekuang's eyes constricted, revealing a look of shock.

"High-level Professionals?"

That Guard Team member Ganglie was actually a High-level Professional!

No!

He looked at the other Guard Team members!

High-level Professional!

High-level Professional!

High-level Professional!

That's right... they were all High-level Professionals!

A look of fear appeared on his face.

The others in the Kuangfeng Adventure Team also realized the severity of the situation.

Once they clashed, they discovered the opponent's strength; they were all indeed High-level Professionals!

How could this be!

In a city in such a small place, the Guard Team actually had seven High-level Professionals!

Those were High-level Professionals, figures high above; how could they do such lowly work as patrolling the streets? Tiekuang was puzzled inside.

"A misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!" Tiekuang panicked!

The surrounding adventurers were also shocked after the two sides clashed.

They also saw that the Guard Team members were all High-level Professionals!

"Too late!" Killing intent flashed in Ganglie's eyes, and he ordered, "Finish this quickly; do not disturb the residents."

"Captain, rest assured."

"Understood."

These Guard Team players no longer hid their strength and used their ultimate moves one after another.

They were all players, and they trained in the Abyss every day.

Their strength was extraordinary; dealing with an adventure squad was even less of a challenge.

"My lord, we are willing to pay compensation!"

"It is our fault!"

Tiekuang was truly panicked.

"Compensation? Hmph!" Ganglie ignored him and continued to attack.

The surrounding adventurers had looks of wariness and fear in their eyes.

They were glad that they had just arrived in Iron Stone City and had not yet acted recklessly.

At the same time, they were puzzled: how could this Iron Stone City have such a powerful Guard Team, and why was it still so obscure?

Under the siege of the Guard Team members, the Kuangfeng Adventure Team was defeated without any surprise.

In just one hundred breaths of time, everyone in the Kuangfeng Adventure Team was Slayed!

Not a single person from the Guard Team was injured.

Wang Quan and the others revealed triumphant smiles.

Ganglie stood atop the corpses, his gaze sweeping over everyone present: "In Iron Stone City, one must follow the rules of Iron Stone City; otherwise, the outcome will be the same as theirs."

The adventurers present nodded hurriedly, their gazes still somewhat dazed.

Nanyu was even more shocked, her heart filled with both surprise and confusion.

She knew that from now on in Iron Stone City, absolutely no one would be as foolish and arrogant as Tiekuang.

She also knew that following the annihilation of the Kuangfeng Adventure Team, the reputation of Iron Stone City would spread to all the nearby cities, and many adventurers would flock to this city.
