Funina was in an extremely sorry state. She looked in the direction of Joelson a few times but received no response.
Waves of grievance and dissatisfaction surged into her heart, and her eyes were almost red.
Clang!
A sound of metal colliding.
Funina let out a low cry. The meteor sword in her hand was knocked out of her hand and fell into the hands of a besiege.
That person laughed happily and said, “Hahaha, the epic-grade sword is mine!”
Funina shouted angrily, “Give it back to me!”
However, there was nothing she could do. A few 9th rank combat aura attacks forced her to retreat.
Right at this moment, a sound that cut through the air rang in everyone’s ears.
Shua!
A figure rushed into the crowd like a gale, passing by the person holding the meteor sword.
In the blink of an eye, she had already appeared beside Funina and returned the meteor sword to her.
“Take it well.”
The person said calmly.
Funina took the sword in a daze and looked at the person who had suddenly appeared.
She was also a young girl. Her appearance was ordinary but her eyes and brows were filled with a fierce aura. Her light green long hair was combed into a ponytail and hung behind her head. Her entire person gave off a feeling like the wind.
“Who are you?”
The surrounding attackers looked at this young girl with an unsightly expression. The epic longsword that they had obtained had been snatched back. Anyone would feel displeased.
Someone in the crowd recognized the young girl’s identity and cried out in surprise.
“It’s her! Teresa Oswede! The daughter of the Golden Lion, the disciple of the Violet Blade!”
“She’s only seventeen years old this year, right? She’s already reached Tier 9. This kind of talent is really too terrifying!”
“Teresa has always been known as the ‘Gale Eagle.’ Her attainments in wind-type combat aura were far inferior to Franklin’s back then!”
“It’s said that her parents died in the demonic disaster more than ten years ago. She was adopted by the Golden Lion and took the name of the Golden Lion as her surname.”
“These shameless fellows wanted to snatch other people’s epic-grade longswords but encountered the Gale Eagle. Hahaha, this is bad luck!”
In the corner, Joelson was also sizing up this girl who had suddenly appeared.
Teresa, was she the little girl that Oswede had sacrificed his own life to protect back then?
As expected, she did not disappoint Oswede.
Teresa did not like to speak. In contrast to the talkative Oswede, she preferred to use the longsword in her hand to speak.
Teresa turned into a light green wind and attacked the few of them.
Teresa had the guidance of the Golden Lion and Franklin, two late-stage saint-level powerhouses. Her sword skills were sharp, and her speed and attacks were extremely powerful.
Although she was only at the ninth stage, these few ninth-stage powerhouses combined were not her match. They were quickly beaten back.
Funina widened her eyes in surprise and stared at Teresa in a daze. Her eyes could not help but show a lot of shame.
She was only one year older than Teresa, and the latter’s talent was not even close to hers. Furthermore, she was the daughter of the Platinum Throne, but the difference in strength between the two was huge.
Funina thought of how she had barely suppressed a rank 9 with her meteor sword, while Teresa had used her ordinary sword to defeat several of them. She felt even more ashamed.
“Get lost!”
Teresa cursed coldly. A light green wind swirled around her, making her ordinary appearance extremely attractive.
“Just you wait!”
A few of the rank 9’s expressions were unsightly. Just as they were about to escape in a panic, a streak of light streaked across the sky, and the aura of a saint-level came pressing down.
The besiege revealed an ecstatic expression and shouted excitedly, “Lord Burton!”
After saying that, he instantly turned his head and stared at Teresa and Funina. With a sinister smile, he said, “Lord Burton is an honored guest of the Dwarf King, a saint intermediate stage powerhouse. Now that he has returned, none of you will be able to escape!”
Before he could finish his words, a burly figure landed on the field.
The newcomer had rough facial features, thick eyebrows, and a burning aura emanating from his body. It showed that he had a very high attainment in fire-type laws.
“Bree, what happened? Didn’t I ask you to help me get a legendary weapon from Master Wiebrun?”
Bree quickly stepped forward and whispered a few words into Burton’s ear. He then pointed at Funina and said, “Sir, look, that girl is injured and is holding an epic-grade longsword.”
Burton’s gaze swept over, and Funina immediately hid the meteor longsword in her hand behind her nervously.
But Burton’s gaze was already filled with greed, laughing loudly, he said, “A fire-attributed epic longsword is just right for me. Your level is too low, and you’re unable to unleash the full power of this epic longsword. The epic light will surely be covered in dust in your hands. Why don’t you sell it to me?”
Burton’s gaze was burning as he said in a low voice, “I’m willing to trade 50,000 magic crystal coins and a legendary weapon for it!”
“Hehe.”
Before Funina could say anything, Teresa sneered in disdain. “An epic weapon would cost at least a million magic crystal coins. 50,000 magic crystal coins and a legendary weapon… How generous of you!”
Funina stood beside Teresa and said, “Yes, I won’t sell it!”
Burton’s face turned slightly red, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face. He carefully sized up Teresa and said coldly, “For the sake of the Golden Lion and Lord Franklin, I won’t make things difficult for you. Get out of my way. This matter has nothing to do with you.”
Teresa did not answer. She just drew her long sword and stood firmly in front of Funina.
Funina’s eyes moved around and looked at Teresa. No one knew what she was thinking.
“Then don’t blame me for being impolite. Wait until I get the epic-level longsword, then I’ll apologize to the Golden Lion and Franklin!”
Burton completely released his saint-level aura and fiercely grabbed at the two of them.
The intense flame battle aura burned, and Teresa’s light green sword was crushed by him before it could even get close.
The difference between a ninth rank and a mid-stage saint rank was too big.
It was not something that talent could make up for.
Seeing that the flame battle aura was about to hit the two girls, Teresa’s expression turned serious. Funina finally could not hold it in anymore and cried out, “Father.”
Along with this life’s cry.
The entire world came to a standstill.
Everyone was horrified to discover that everything in front of them was frozen in place.
This included the flame combat aura that Burton had unleashed.
Their minds were still functioning, but their souls seemed to have been frozen and time had stopped.
Then, they saw a handsome youth wearing a long black robe walking out step by step.
He was like the only master of this space, everything had to bow down before him.
The flame battle spirit suddenly shattered and disappeared.
The handsome young man glanced at Burton. The latter’s right hand of all his subordinates was broken, and the wound was smooth, as if it had fallen off by itself.
The world returned to normal.
Time passed again.
Everyone stared at the handsome young man who had suddenly appeared in disbelief.
He threw out a dim copper coin from his robe and it landed in front of Burton with a crisp sound.
The handsome young man looked down at everyone and said to Burton, “How about one copper coin to buy all of your right hands?”
The entire place fell into a dead silence.
