1766 Siege
“What’s with that guy? Could he not understand our language?” Han Sen had encountered rude people before, but none that were rude to that extent .
Hai’er looked bitter and said, “He’ll really do what he said . This is bad . ”
“I doubt it If he wanted to kill someone, why would he leave?” Han Sen said .
Hai’er shook her head . “The higher races like the Zhenyue wouldn’t bother to kill those of a lesser race themselves . He only needs to give the word, and others will come tripping over each other for the opportunity . It won’t be long before we encounter others who will have come here to kill you in the hopes of obtaining a reward . ”
“I am a Baron . It may not be a very high class, but that still makes me a Noble . Don’t say I’m from a lesser race . ” Han Sen smiled, not very concerned about their predicament .
“Can’t break the cocoon and become a butterfly without your race being in the geno hall . Even if you become a Duke or a King, you’re still an individual . And you still hail from a lesser race,” Hai’er said .
“What cocoon? And what is the geno hall?” Han Sen asked, confused by her strange metaphors .
“I don’t know . I’ve only heard about it from Old Pirate . I know that if a race doesn’t have a lantern in a geno hall, they cannot leave their names there . And that means they are deemed a lesser race,” Hai’er said quickly . “But this is not the time for talk . Let’s run and leave the xenogeneic space behind . At least that way, you might live . ”
Han Sen thought for a moment, but then said, “You should leave . He wants to kill me, and I’m sure I’ll find a way through . ”
“I can’t do that . If I left, people will think we pirates are afraid of the Zhenyue . I cannot bring us any embarrassment . ” Hai’er lifted her chin .
Han Sen did not know what to think . He had been dragged into this by Hai’er, and he thought, “What the hell is going on? I came here to kill xenogeneics and that’s it I haven’t killed any, and I need to be running for my life . My luck is bad . Next time I go hunting, I should really check my fortune or something . ”
They hadn’t walked far when they heard footsteps roll up like thunder . A group of people came down from the mountain, headed their way .
Han Sen noticed it was the people they had seen earlier, the group that had slain the six-armed bear . Their leader was the Viscount with the sword .
Hai’er’s face changed . She pulled Han Sen to get him to walk faster, but soon after, a few Barons and other soldiers barred their way . The Viscount caught up, and they were swiftly surrounded .
“Lady of the Pirates, we have come here for him . Please step aside, for we do not want to sully your clothes with blood,” the Viscount politely told Hai’er .
“He’s one of my people . Do you dare touch him?” Hai’er responded coldly .
“My Lady, please don’t do this . If we don’t take him back, we will all die on his behalf . ” The Viscount’s speech was very calm, but he had already made his decision . Even if he had to offend Hai’er of the Pirates, he still wanted to claim Han Sen’s life .
Pirates hadn’t entered the Dan Xuan system for seven hundred years . The Zhenyue were a high race of the Dan Xuan system . Although they were not as respected as the Pirates, if the Pirates were looking to cause trouble with the Zhenyue, they would have to go past Holy Heaven .
“If you are not afraid to die, then come! I will kill whoever dares come close!” Hai’er shouted angrily as she brought out her dagger .
“Then, I am sorry . We may not dare to hurt you, but we have to do this . ” The Viscount waved his hand, and a few Nobles approached Hai’er . They all had Baron geno weapon shields .
The Viscount pulled out his sword and ran to Han Sen .
In an instant, Han Sen went from standing motionlessly to running like the wind . He ran to the nearby forest .
It was difficult to determine how many teams wanted to kill Han Sen and claim whatever bounty had been offered . He knew he couldn’t kill them all . Some of them would be Viscounts, too, so any fights that ensued would be very tough .
Two Barons tried to stop Han Sen, raising their weapons to block his path . And for this, Han Sen moved in a way that made it look as if he went left and right . The two Barons made a terrible judgment, for one moved left while the other moved right . There was a gap in the middle .
Han Sen went right past them, as both hands beamed with a purple light . And after Han Sen had passed them by, their heads sailed into the sky, trailing blood .
Han Sen’s eyes did not move . He had been through so much, and in battles like this, the loss of life no longer bothered him .
If they wanted to give their lives to Zhenyue, they must have prepared themselves to die .
Even if their lives were threatened by the Zhenyue, that was not a valid reason for killing others . There was no excuse for killing others, just so you could stay alive .
“Come here, scum! Give me your life!” The Viscount was very mad . His longsword was lit with a bright green light, and it slashed right behind Han Sen .
Han Sen’s mutant blood was boiling inside his body, and with the Dongxuan Armor, it was like he had the strength of a xenogeneic and a Noble all-in-one . He was definitely far stronger than the average Baron, at least .
He moved like a tiger, as a power burst out from his waist . He moved his body half a foot forward, dodging the swordlight .
And as he did so, he slashed with his own Purple-Moon Sword . He did so at an angle the Viscount could not see, which let it strike the man’s shoulder .
The sword went in two inches, but it felt to Han Sen as if he had just tried to stab glue . He could not stab the man again, as the sword was stuck inside his shoulder .
The Viscount did not next expect himself to get hurt by a Baron . He looked incredibly mad, and without caring much for the wound, he tried thrusting toward Han Sen’s neck . He wanted to cut Han Sen’s head off, then and there .
Han Sen knew this would happen, though . So, he pulled his sword back and dodged . He continued running towards the forest .
But another Baron blocked Han Sen’s way . The Baron’s lance was swinging wildly like a dragon . He didn’t want to kill Han Sen; just stop him .
The Viscount looked cold and murderous . He wanted to stab Han Sen in the back .
Han Sen could not go backward nor forward, and he was going to get hit by the Viscount .
So, Han Sen turned around and watched the Viscount He crossed the Purple-Moon longsword and shortsword so they’d be brought up against the Viscount’s sword . He paid little attention to the lance behind him .
The Baron noticed his opportunity, and so he used all of his powers to strike Han Sen in the back . The tip of the lance cracked the atmosphere as it flew to plant itself in Han Sen’s back .
Almost at the same time this occurred, the Viscount’s sword came down on Han Sen’s two swords . It shined brightly, dousing the whole forest in green light .
Han Sen suddenly jumped, his body assuming a weird position in the air . It was like he was lying down, aloft in the air . He pushed the Viscount’s sword back with his own two swords, as a swordlight came behind Han Sen .
Katcha!
The Baron’s lance went below Han Sen, striking the Viscount in the chest . And at the same time, the Viscount’s swordlight decapitated the striking Baron .
Blood was spilling everywhere, and the Viscount was enraged . He swung his sword and chased Han Sen into the forest .
