Chapter 1673: Staggered Meeting (28)

"Hmm------" Sword Saint Joseph snorted. He had been deceived twice in a row by the apparition released by King Arthur, and now he was standing in the worst place, and it was absolutely impossible to escape King Arthur's onslaught from this place.

He could only watch as the huge golden blade of light smashed down on his head, making a loud, silent crash.

In an instant, the entire bog block was covered in the ash kicked up by the impact, and the surrounding area became a gray cloud! The dust was much more severe than that, because the impact was as fierce as an earthquake, and even the dust fell from the ceiling. And this so-called [rotten swamp block] is actually a very dirty and hidden large abandoned underground water storage room in the sewers, and once it is impacted, the dust, garbage deposits, rust, and silt that have accumulated around it for hundreds of years are all frantically shaken out of the sky, just like the next dirty ash rain!

"Cough, cough, cough, cough, grandpa------" The skinny boy looked out from the abandoned water storage pipe, he had been secretly watching the battle, but at this time, he accidentally inhaled a large amount of dust raised around him, causing a series of powerful coughs!

There were other residents living in the Rotten Swamp neighborhood------ most of them were hooligans, who had only dared to watch the Knight King and the Sword Master fight from afar, and did not dare to intervene at all, but now they were also implicated in the dust raised, covering their eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, while hiding in the tents they had set up, and coughing frantically and scolding. King Arthur didn't even need to know Afrikaans to know what these people were swearing.

"Hmph------" Arthur's side was actually not much better, he was mentally prepared to kick up dust in the sky when he hit this blow, but the amount of dust that came out was still far beyond the imagination of the Knight King. The dust not only limited his vision, but also covered his half-covered silver mask with a layer of ash that he had to remove if he wanted to continue fighting. However, removing the mask also meant that the air filter on the mask would be ineffective, which meant that King Arthur would have to endure the astonishing stench of the sewer in order to continue his battle with the Sword Saint Joseph.

However, is it really necessary to keep fighting?

King Arthur wiped the dust off his mask with his sleeve, slightly improving his vision.

He was very confident, the blow just now should have flattened the Sword Saint Joseph to the ground------ literally------ even if the Sword Saint Joseph couldn't die, he would definitely be seriously injured and couldn't continue fighting. So this battle should theoretically be over, and the outcome of the battle should be King Arthur's victory.

But what in reality? King Arthur could only hold his sword and move his position slightly, trying to avoid a sneak attack as much as possible before the dust settled completely. He always felt that his grandfather, the sword master Joseph Pantoraken, was definitely not such an easy character to defeat, and this blow was probably not the one that ended the battle.

The dust settles slowly, a little impatiently. The ashes kept sticking to his silver mask to limit his vision, but King Arthur refused to take it off because he didn't want to endure the stench of the sewers. He could only wipe the dust from his mask again and again to keep his vision clear.

But he was stupid to do so. Just as half of the dust had settled, and everything around him had returned to visibility of at least five yards or so in front of him, King Arthur was surprised to see that there was a pit in the area where the golden blade had been struck just now!

That's right, it's a discarded sewer with a complex structure, full of drains everywhere. The people who originally carved out this ghost place as a living area filled most of the holes and covered them with sewer lids to prevent people from falling into the abandoned sewer pipes while walking. However, the Sword Saint Joseph did the opposite, lifting a sewer lid next to him before he could be hit, and he himself hid in the intricately constructed and well-connected drainage pipe below!

King Arthur's blow didn't hit at all, he had the strength to smash the ground completely, the massive blade of the superriding sword only smashed and shattered a layer of cement on the ground, while the drainage system several feet below the ground remained intact!

The Knight King's heart was cold: It's not good, it's too bad!

Joseph, the sword saint who ran into the pipe, could emerge from anywhere. Although these pipes are supposed to only connect to the bog block, it means that Old Man Joseph will only pop up in this bog block, and he will not be able to run farther.

But------

The Knight King glanced at his surroundings. How many people live in this neighborhood? Thousands of hooligan ruffians have built all kinds of hiding places here, tents made of rags and wooden strips, huts rolled out of iron sheets, and some people have carved a hole in the wall to live in, and even used discarded old drains to take shelter like the old man Joseph the Sword.

If Old Man Joseph really had the intention to hide, it would not be easy to find him in this complicated environment!

"Listen, everyone, stay at your posts, and never leave your posts!" the Knight King ordered over the walkie-talkie.

Before he entered the Rotten Swamp block, he had ordered his British Knights to block all the roads around him, and the three most important passages were guarded by Heavenly Knights, just to prevent the Sword Saint Joseph from escaping if things messed up. King Arthur is vowing to arrest the Sword Saint Joseph today. No matter how much time it takes, he's going to dig through this rotten swamp block and find out the old man of the Sword Master!

As the knights continued to walk through the quarters, the inhabitants of the Rotten Swamp Street looked at King Arthur with fear.

The situation is bad. As an interloper, Arthur was already in a bad situation. Coupled with the destruction of the neighborhood just now, these hooligans probably already hate Arthur even more. The reason why these guys haven't attacked King Arthur so far is very simple, they are afraid of the power of the Knight King. But once the confrontational mentality is formed, it is not easy to eliminate it. These hooligans may not be able to fight against the Knight King on the surface, but they will definitely secretly cause trouble for King Arthur, and even secretly hide the sword saint Joseph.

If Old Man Joseph was already on the same side as these people, if he wanted to find the Sword Saint Joseph in this chaotic neighborhood, the difficulty would increase exponentially!

But, the reverse is also true. If Arthur can win hearts and minds and change the camp of this group of rogue ruffians, this group will help King Arthur find the Sword Saint Joseph in this complex rotten swamp street. This is just the most basic diplomatic strategy.

"Listen------!" King Arthur took out a bag from his bosom, "can any of you help me find the old man just now, and the 500,000 South African dollars here belong to that man! I will also help you negotiate with the South African government to restore you to your status as ordinary citizens!

The power of money can be described as omnipotent among philistines. Driven by huge profits, King Arthur even succeeded in persuading a giant dragon to help him do the work, and this group of rogue ruffians was of course no problem. The group of hooligans were still discussing in a low voice, chirping crookedly, probably still doubting the authenticity of this matter. But King Arthur knew, and the hearts of these fellows were clearly shaken, and they began to want to ask for a bounty from Arthur.

By the way, because South Africa's national strength is not bad, half a million South African dollars and British gold coins are almost one-to-one. And these 500,000 gold coins can allow an ordinary person to live a carefree life, and it can even be regarded as luxurious, and he no longer has to be troubled by heavy labor. If it is converted into the living expenses of a family of three, it can save a little money, and it can be enough for a family of three to live a lifetime, and even after a few years, the parents will go to the grave and the children can still have a large amount of savings, even if they do not work, they can live to the age of 60.

The tempting huge amount of 500,000 South African dollars is absolutely irresistible to this group of ruffians. These people were still hesitating, just because they doubted the authenticity of the money, thinking that Arthur, a young man of unknown origin, could not take out half a million gold coins so easily.

However, this problem is also extremely easy to solve.

The Knight King sneered, took out a gold coin from the bag, and bit it with his teeth. His white, neat teeth left tooth marks on the gold coins, proving that they were all real gold.

"Hah!" Then he took out dozens of gold coins and threw them into the depths of the crowd!

The crowd began to riot, and the ruffians frantically snatched the dozen or so gold coins, all of which had reached the stage of a big fight.

"Calm down, gentlemen!" said King Arthur, "because of your hesitation, the 500,000 bounty becomes 500,000 minus twelve gold coins." However, even if I scatter all these gold coins, you will not be able to use them if you find them------ because of the current policy in South Africa, you have no official resident status, and it will be in vain to have any currency in your hands!"

The group of residents who were still scrambling stopped. Even if it is a group of uneducated ruffians, they should know exactly what the world is out there. King Arthur is not wrong at all, even if you have a million dollars, no resident status------ more accurately, no debit card for shopping------ all money will become a blank fortune.

And only the nobleman in front of them, who can take out more than 500,000 yuan at will, can help them get the status of residents, so that the 500,000 (minus ten gold coins) can be turned into real wealth that can be used.

The hooligans' eyes began to glow. This may be the only chance they have in their lives to get out of poverty, and how could these people miss it!

"Find that old man!" "Don't let him escape!" "Catch him!!" The hearts of the people have fallen to King Arthur's side, and almost the entire Rotten Swamp Street supports the Knight King, vowing to rummage through this complex area and find out the sword saint Joseph!

The Knight King squeezed out an indifferent smile. It is not far from the moment when the traitor Sword Saint Joseph is arrested.
