Chapter 174: Chapter 129: Silver Clan, Guiding Crystal Ball
"However, you’re not qualified to gouge out my eyes!"
To everyone else, the blond man who spoke was an undeniable genius for reaching the rank of Great Knight in his twenties.
But in Roy’s eyes, he was barely passable.
Even a Golden Great Knight would pose no threat to him.
It hadn’t been long since he advanced to Golden Great Knight—only a little over ten days. But now, he feared no other Golden Great Knight.
Even if all nine of the Sal Empire’s Golden Great Knights attacked him at once, he was confident he could defeat them.
Within the Sal Empire today, the only one who could pose a threat to him was the Level One Wizard serving as the Imperial Guardian.
The moment Roy finished speaking, the blond man’s already cold expression turned frigid. He made no effort to hide the intense killing intent radiating from him.
At the same time, his right hand gripped the hilt of his Cross Sword, poised to draw and attack at any moment.
Roy paid no mind to the killing intent coming from the blond man, calmly looking back at him.
"Robert, don’t cause trouble!"
The blond woman standing to Robert’s right spoke up.
It would have been better if she had said nothing.
Upon hearing her words, Robert didn’t hesitate. With a SWISH, he decisively drew his sword. He unleashed his ice-blue Fighting Qi, which coiled around the ornate and sharp blade of his Cross Sword.
The next second, he shot toward Roy.
Roy stood motionless, as if he hadn’t seen Robert’s attack at all.
In the blink of an eye, Robert was before him. His Cross Sword, wreathed in ice-blue Fighting Qi, shot toward Roy’s chest like a bolt of lightning.
Just as the Cross Sword was about to pierce his chest, Roy shifted his body slightly, dodging the attack by a hair’s breadth.
Before Robert could react, Roy’s hand shot out and grabbed his wrist.
CRACK!
The sharp crack of a breaking bone rang out!
Roy showed Robert no mercy, snapping his right arm.
Intense pain instantly shot through Robert’s entire body, causing him to scream out involuntarily.
His scream lasted less than a second before it was cut short.
The moment he screamed, Roy lifted his right foot and kicked him in the lower abdomen, sending him flying.
BAM!
The immense force sent Robert flying back more than ten meters. He crashed heavily into a large tree behind him, causing the tree—so thick it would take two people to wrap their arms around it—to shudder violently.
This...
Seeing Roy so casually neutralize the attack and send Robert flying with a single kick, the other three were stunned.
As his companions, they knew Robert’s strength very well, which was precisely why they were so stunned.
Robert was not a Black Iron Great Knight, but a Bronze Great Knight.
Though he had advanced less than a year ago, he was an undeniable Bronze Great Knight.
Roy ignored their shock. With a slight push from his legs, he appeared before Robert in an instant, as if he had teleported.
"So, for a few extra glances, you want to gouge out someone’s eyes!"
"For contradicting you, you want to kill someone!"
"You really have a vile personality!"
"You should be glad you ran into me today. If it were anyone else, it wouldn’t have ended with just a broken arm and a leg."
Roy looked down at the fallen Robert and spoke in an unhurried tone.
’A broken arm and a leg?’
Robert didn’t understand at first.
But soon, he knew exactly what Roy meant.
CRACK!
Roy lifted his right foot again and stomped on Robert’s left shin, snapping it as easily as a twig.
"AH!!!"
Unsurprisingly, Robert let out another bloodcurdling scream.
Roy ignored him, turned to look at the other three, and continued, "If you want to avenge him, then come at me together. Don’t waste everyone’s time."
The moment he finished speaking, the beautiful blonde woman who had tried to stop Robert quickly spoke up. "We have no intention of being your enemy, sir. Robert was just impulsive. We hope that you will spare him further trouble, for the sake of the Snow Mammoth Clan."
’The Snow Mammoth Clan?’
Roy searched his memory for a moment, then turned to the blonde woman. "He’s from the Snow Mammoth Clan?"
"Yes."
"The Clan Leader of the Snow Mammoth Clan is Robert’s grandfather," the blonde woman replied quickly.
"And what clan are the two of you from?" Roy asked.
"We are members of the Evil Spirit Cat Clan. My name is Selena, and this is my sister, Monica."
"This is Robert’s younger brother, Gray," Selena replied instantly.
Roy was familiar with both the Snow Mammoth Clan, to which Robert and Gray belonged, and the Evil Spirit Cat Clan, which Selena and Monica were from.
Although he had never dealt with people from these two clans before, he knew that the Snow Mammoth Clan and the Evil Spirit Cat Clan were famous Silver Clans within the Sal Empire.
The Sal Empire had a tradition: any clan that had ever produced a Golden Great Knight would be known by the name of its Breathing Technique instead of a family surname, so long as the clan had not fallen into complete decline.
The so-called Silver Clans were those that had once produced a Golden Great Knight but whose strongest members were now only Silver Great Knights.
The Sal Empire currently had a total of nine Golden Great Knights, but there were only seven Golden Clans.
This was because the Royal Family alone possessed three Golden Great Knights.
As for Silver Clans, if Roy recalled correctly, there were currently over thirty of them.
Only Golden Clans and Silver Clans used the name of their Breathing Technique as their family name; other clans did not.
