After Maxing out all Classes

Chapter 943:



Chapter 943:



Dodging the hidden weapons, Robb raised his musket again, and with a deafening blast, another sect member fell to the ground.


Then, he swiftly avoided two approaching long knives, firing his musket twice more, and two more sect members went down.


The sect members couldnt help but feel puzzled. Why doesnt this guys musket need reloading to fire repeatedly?


This musket is so strange.


Be careful; hes going to shoot at you


Boom!


Another one went down.


In a matter of moments, all the dozen or so sect members lying on the ground next to them were defeated. Robb shook his head in disappointment, realizing that these sect members were nothing more than low-level thugs.


But upon further thought, it seemed that this world was indeed a low-level martial cultivation realm, significantly different from those powerful cultivators in online fantasy novels.


Meanwhile, on the other side of the battle, the outcome was becoming clear.


Shisu took down one opponent with her sword, leaving three more to surround her.


Having struggled to deal with her when they were four, facing her now with just three was an even worse situation. Shisu regained her confidence, her sword techniques flowing effortlessly. In just a few moves, another opponent groaned in pain, retreated, and left, leaving only the sect leader and one other expert. They exchanged glances and launched a coordinated attack. Seizing the moment when Shisu retreated, they both used lightness skills and swiftly disappeared into the distance.


Shisu considered pursuing them for a moment but decided against it. Instead, she picked up one of the fallen Wujin Sect members and urgently asked, What happened in the city? Whats the current situation with the Qiantang Sect?


The Wujin Sect member, with blood at the corner of his mouth, chuckled weakly, The Qiantang Sect no longer exists


What did you say? Shisu was alarmed. Explain clearly.


The sect members head tilted to the side, and he passed out.


Shisu grew frantic, shaking the sect members shoulders vigorously.


Robb approached her and remarked, Shaking him wont help. Were quite close to East Hangzhou now, right? Hurry and go check for yourself. Its better than staying here holding onto a little thug.


Ah, right! Shisu jumped up, ready to run towards the city. Suddenly, she turned back to Robb, clasping her hands in a formal bow. I was too hasty earlier and almost forgot the etiquette of the martial world. Today, with your assistance, I owe you a great debt. When I return and resolve the matter with the Qiantang Sect, Ill surely come to personally express my gratitude. Please, may I know your name so I can properly thank you?


Robb smiled and replied, No need to make a big deal out of it. Besides, theres no need for a farewell like that. I also need to go to the Qiantang Sect; Im here for the Xuanyuan Black iron.


Upon hearing this, Shisu couldnt help but feel a brief moment of tension. Are you here to take the Qiantang Sects Xuanyuan Black iron as well?


Robb said, A wise man doesnt beat around the bush. I am indeed here to find the Xuanyuan Black iron, but I have a particular way of doing things. I dont usually resort to direct robbery. Instead, I prefer reasoning with my opponents, offering a fair price, engaging in friendly negotiations, reaching an agreement, and then obtaining what I want from them.


Shisu glanced deeply at Robb and then looked at the fallen Wujin Sect members on the ground. Upon closer inspection, she noticed that every person Robb had incapacitated was still alive, albeit injured and writhing on the ground. She was somewhat surprised by this observation. Robb had used a firearm to attack, yet he had spared their lives. From this, she gathered that he was quite merciful and possibly belonged to a reputable martial sect. In the context of Big Tangs martial world, he would likely be considered one of the orthodox martial practitioners.


As these thoughts raced through her mind, she felt that Robb might indeed be someone she could reason with. Orthodox martial sects also sought the Xuanyuan Black iron, but their methods were usually more moderate. They wouldnt resort to murder and mayhem like the unorthodox sects. Perhaps, she could communicate with this person. Furthermore, she realized that Robb had only dealt with small-fry thugs with his musket. True experts were less likely to be hit by a firearm, just as she wouldnt be.


With this in mind, she concluded that Robb was not someone to be feared.


Turning away, she stated, I need to return to the Qiantang Sect immediately to assess the situation. If youre interested, you can come along, but I can assure you that, regardless of the price you offer, the Qiantang Sect wont give the Xuanyuan Black iron to you. Its best to abandon that idea.


Robb added, Assuming the Qiantang Sect still exists.


This sentence clearly hit a nerve with Shisu. Her body trembled for a moment before she forced herself to appear composed. She then dashed towards East Hangzhou, with Robb following closely behind. While running, Robb asked, Are you returning to protect the black iron?


Shisu nodded, saying, Two months ago, I left on a mission deep in the mountains and lost contact with the sect because of the remote location. It wasnt until ten days ago that I received orders from the sect leader through our contact point. He instructed all disciples to return to the sect and protect the black iron. So, I hurried back


Robb thought to himself, It seems Im a step late.


Before long, the two arrived at the outskirts of East Hangzhou City. It was a picturesque city with lakes, flowers, and mountains, visible from a distance. However, at the city gates, there was a large crowd, and it seemed quite chaotic.


As they squeezed into the crowd, they overheard people nearby saying, Oh my, so many people have died.


These martial sects have no regard for the law. They start brawls and commit murders without hesitation. Many people have died by the riverside.


How are ordinary citizens like us supposed to live?


I hope the government will properly deal with these troublemakers.


Upon hearing these words, Shisus face turned pale, and Robb also had a good idea of what had happened.


Pushing through the crowd, Shisu rushed towards the eastern riverside of the city. The renowned Qiantang Sect was located along the banks of the grand river in the city, known as the Qiantang River. It was the largest river within East Hangzhou City, with a wide surface and imposing presence.


At this moment, the riverside was also packed with people. Official guards had encircled a grand mansion with hemp ropes, maintaining order on the outskirts. Many curious onlookers stood beyond the ropes. If it werent for the guards maintaining order, these spectators would have undoubtedly rushed into the mansion to witness the commotion.


The strong smell of blood could be detected from afar!


Shisu sprinted to the side of the mansion and attempted to enter, but a constable blocked her path, extending his hand to stop her.


Shisu said, Im from the Qiantang Sect, and I need to go inside.


The constable, upon hearing her words, shrugged and replied, Are you a relative of the deceased? In that case, you can enter with my accompaniment to take a look, identify the bodies. However, be careful not to disrupt the crime scene. Higher-ranking constables will arrive later to examine the scene and investigate for clues. Dont tamper with the evidence.


Having said that, the constable turned and led the way, guiding Shisu inside.


Robb stealthily followed behind, maintaining a low profile as he strolled into the mansion.
