The big, fat man's voice sounded surprisingly young. His eyes swept over Elder Rong and Nangong Elder as he spoke softly, "You two, your cultivation was hard-earned. I advise you... to stay out of these muddy waters!"
Nangong Elder sneered. "Muddy waters? What right do scoundrels like you, who won't even show your faces, have to say that to me?"
"WAHAHAHAHA!" the fat Sword Sect expert roared with laughter. After a few wild cackles, he said, "Since you're so intent on courting death, then let me see for myself... the power of the two legendary Sword Sect experts who have long resided within the Imperial Palace!"
As he spoke, the aura around him suddenly condensed. A bright, silver longsword appeared in his hand. The blade left its sheath with a brilliant flash of light. He pointed it at Nangong Elder and roared, "Die!"
