Black Myth: the Supreme Sword

Chapter 7

However, the guards beside Eamon didn't dare to make a move.

Nicholas had fought countless bloody battles on behalf of the Ye family. His prestige was very high among the guards of Ye Manor because only Nicholas dared to be unyielding to the other three forces and wasn't afraid of fighting with them. In addition, he often led some people of Ye Manor to fight for territory outside. It could be said that most of the guards of Ye Manor had fought side by side with Nicholas.

Seeing that the guards didn't dare to make a move, Eamon was stunned for a moment before saying angrily, "Are you guys rebelling against me?"

Orion Li, the head guard, took a look at Nicholas and hesitated, "Nicholas, w-we..."

Nicholas glanced at Orion. "Orion, you have fought over hundreds of battles with me. All who have fought with me know best how I treat the manor. Now the family gives Victoria and me dog food. I can't swallow this humiliation down. I won't make things difficult for you, and I understand your position. But let me put it this way. If you fight me today, whatever ties we have in the past will be written off instantly. You don't have to show me mercy, and neither do I."

Hearing Nicholas's words, Orion's expression suddenly turned ugly.

The powers in Green City often competed for territories and mines. Each time they competed meant a fierce battle would break out. The older generation couldn't take action because of a rule. Because if the older generation took action, it would mean a war between the families. At that time, no one would have an advantage. Thus, there was a rule that only the younger generation could come out and fight. This way, not only could they avoid suffering losses for everyone, but they could also train the younger generation in their family.

And Nicholas was the representative of Ye Manor.

It could be said that Nicholas was the leader of the younger generation of Ye Manor. These guards had risked their lives with him countless times. Naturally, they were close with him. It was very difficult for them to take down Nicholas now. Moreover, they knew Nicholas's strength and character very well. When Nicholas fought, he was a lunatic who did not care about his life. If they dared to fight Nicholas, they would definitely die.

Seeing Orion and the others had yet to make a move, Eamon asked ferociously, "Do you all want to die?"

Orion took a deep breath and was about to speak. At this moment, Nicholas suddenly said, "Eamon knows very well you are not my opponents. Still, he didn't do it himself but asked you to do it. He just wants me to kill you so he can make a big deal out of it."

As Nicholas spoke, a mocking smile appeared on his face. "These privileged Elders of our Ye Manor are excellent at scheming against their men."

Hearing this, the expressions of Orion and the others instantly turned ugly. They realized that Eamon wanted to sacrifice them.

Eamon stared at Nicholas. "Nicholas, times have changed. If you keep a low profile, you may be able to live a few more days. Unfortunately, you don't get what is happening. Even now, you are still so arrogant. You..."

"Bastard!" At this moment, Nicholas suddenly interrupted Eamon. "Tell me, did you participate in the betrothal of my sister to Wang Kai?"

Eamon sneered. "It was my idea. What can you do about it?"

Nicholas's look turned ferocious. "It's fine to scheme against me. Victoria is only 12 years old and you bastard schemed against her. I will kill you today."

After that, Nicholas stomped his right foot.

BANG!

Under Nicholas's feet, the stone floor exploded at once. At the same time, Nicholas rushed toward Eamon like a fierce tiger pouncing on its prey.

Seeing this, Eamon's face changed greatly. He didn't expect Nicholas to attack him. He was an Elder of Ye Manor. He thought, 'Is Nicholas really going to rebel?' Without time to think, Eamon bent his knees, clenched his right hand into a fist, and pulled back. The next moment, he suddenly punched forward.

It was Fist Devastation, a low-level martial technique of the Ye Manor. A single punch could shatter rocks.

At this time, Nicholas's punch arrived. He also used this low-level martial technique.

BANG!

When the two fists collided, Eamon's expression changed drastically. His right hand instantly split open. Blood splattered everywhere.

Before Eamon could react, Nicholas rushed forward again and punched him in the abdomen.

Poof.

Eamon spurted out a stream of blood from his mouth, and his whole body arched as he flew backward. When Eamon landed on the ground, Nicholas stepped on his chest with one foot. Eamon stared at Nicholas. "No way. Why is your Fist Devastation so powerful? You..."

Although Eamon was the Elder in charge of the internal affairs of the Ye Manor, and his strength was not particularly high, he was also in the Qi Varying realm. But when he faced Nicholas, he was defeated with one punch.

Nicholas slapped Eamon's face fiercely. "You bastard. You have been living like privileged lords in Ye Manor all day long. Your Fist Devastation is like a weakling. I feel ashamed for you."

Eamon glared at Nicholas. "How dare you hit me?"

Nicholas slapped Eamon's face again. "That's right. I'm hitting you."

Eamon's face instantly swelled up.

"Ahhhhh..." After being humiliated by Nicholas in public, Eamon howled crazily to the guards, "Why aren't you doing anything?"

At the side, Orion and the others were a little hesitant. If they could win a fight against Nicholas, they might make a move. The problem was that they couldn't.

"Stop." At this moment, an angry shout suddenly came from not far away.

Everyone looked over. The Great Elder was rushing over. Behind the Great Elder were the Elders and guards of the Ye Manor.

Victoria hurried to Nicholas's side. She held the corner of Nicholas's clothes tightly with her hand and said in a trembling voice, "Nicholas, you should run. Hurry up..."

Nicholas grabbed Victoria's trembling hand and said gently, "Don't be afraid."

Victoria burst into tears. "It's my fault. Nicholas. I'm the one who implicated you. I'm really useless... I'm sorry..."

Nicholas smiled slightly. "Don't be afraid. Even if the sky falls, I will hold it up first."

As Nicholas spoke, he looked at the Great Elder and grinned. "Elder Edward, let's make peace. I will apologize for this and you will forget about it. How about it?"

The Great Elder was so angry that he laughed instead. "Make peace? Forget it? Nicholas, are you daydreaming? You..."

The next second, Nicholas suddenly stepped on Eamon's throat.

Crack!

The sound of bones breaking resounded. Eamon's eyes were wide open and filled with disbelief. Soon, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

Everyone was stunned.

Nicholas looked at the Great Elder. "Since we're not making peace, fight me."

Under the watch of countless people, Nicholas walked to the Great Elder. "Elder Edward, I challenge you. Or are you scared?"

Everyone in the Ye Manor was so shocked that they stood rooted to the ground.

They had never thought that Nicholas, a fifth stage, would dare to challenge the seventh stage Great Elder.

At this moment, it was so quiet that everyone's breaths could be heard.
