Going Downhill Fast

　　The Emperor felt a painful sensation radiating from the back of his head just when he was really getting into the fight with Second Martial Brother. The world before him spun and he dropped to the ground unconscious with a thud.

　　Second Martial Brother then applauded Third Brother, albeit with an emotionless look. He snorted, "d.a.m.n geezer. I don't even know where he came from, but how dare he impede on our escort mission. I told you that you wouldn't be able to take this blow."

　　He didn't get to say much, for he had to evade a slash aimed at him. He countered with a palm strike, sending the individual that tried to sneak attack him, flying. They then began another new round of fighting.

　　The fight in Bright Lane had almost gone on for an hour now. There were roughly less than half of the thousand-plus gangsters taking part, so the crowd was a lot thinner compared to the start. It was easier to hear over the crowd, as well.

　　It took some effort from Second Brother to locate the five elders in dark robes, and he also found the beautiful Princess. He was now thinking up a plan for how to approach them and protect her, yet not let themselves be exposed. It was a huge challenge to their skills.

　　Second Brother listened in carefully. He heard the Princess' heroic and stern voice, "Where is my father, Mr. Li? I saw him just before. Is he all right?"

　　He then heard an old man reply, "You must be unaware, Miss. Since these thugs looked so aggressive, His Majesty's anger won and thus he rushed over to begin slaughtering them, but please rest a.s.sured. You know how skilled he is. These n.o.bodies cannot hurt him."

　　"But there are far too many of them!"

　　The Princess forced her way forward to fight the family slave in one corner after she yelled back.

　　Second, Third and Fourth Brothers wore grim looks. They swiftly glanced at each other. They all sent each other the same message, 'f.u.c.k! We just went hard as a motherf.u.c.ker! This is the Emperor!'

　　'Not only did we hit a Princess, we hit the Emperor, too!!'

　　'Mount Daluo is going to be exterminated today!'

　　They then saw a brash man that didn't know better. Seeing the old man that just hit him with a palm strike before now laying on the ground, he boldly swung his blade at him.

　　"Motherf.u.c.keeeeeerrrrr!!! Don't touch him!! Guard the Emperor! Guard the Emperor!!"

　　Second Brother gave him a fly kick back to his mom's home and then took back an iron rod from the crowd. He began a frenzy, swinging left and right countless times, then thrusting, then swinging, thrusting again and then swinging again, beating every single person who tried to approach the emperor.

　　"n.o.body comes near him. I've reserved this place!!"

　　His eyes were red when he swung his rod, "Third and Fourth Brother, guard this place!"

　　The three of them made a ruckus and began their jobs as the escorts of a dragon.
