Chapter 743: Close Combat

Close combat!
The most crucial factor in both is momentum!!
For large-scale team battles, Bloodclothes indeed has many targeted strategies and techniques—various skills that are highly effective in the game.
But such a massive clash of forces can truly be described as a war!
When it comes to war, Silver Fox might have more insight…
Silver Fox and Bloodclothes have completely different perspectives, environments, and values—one focuses on details, while the other considers the overall situation!
For Bloodclothes, as long as they make breakthroughs in details, they can invisibly undermine the enemy’s advantages, establish their own advantages, and then use their overwhelming numerical superiority to crush the resistance of the Mu Family, making everything fall into place.
But for Silver Fox…
From the start, he knew the Mu Family couldn’t fight forever behind walls. So, from the beginning, he placed both sides in the fairest possible environment, pondering the best tactics for attacking and retreating.
The two major techniques given by Happy indeed helped Bloodclothes break through more of their advantages and formulate plans, but the one who truly commanded this battle was still Silver Fox…
It still relied on him to take control of the overall situation and lead the brothers of the Mu Family out of this desperate plight!
That’s why, despite Bloodclothes sending troops repeatedly, he never allowed Wind Chime to take action—whether it was the collapse of the outer walls or the attack of poisons, he hesitated to use Wind Chime as a card too easily.
He knew—it was a trump card that could pose the greatest threat to the Lingxiao Palace and the First-Class Hall at a critical moment.
The moment enemies rushed into the Mu Family from all directions, Wind Chime finally received Silver Fox’s orders. Using the Six-Finger String Technique, her hand speed soared to its limit in an instant.
One stroke, one press, one pull, one release!
The entire process was seamless.
What seemed like ordinary actions of playing the zither actually contained countless twists and subtle changes, like two white jade butterflies fluttering above the strings, making various gestures—so profound that it was breathtaking.
Her long hair and dress moved as if in an unseen wind…
The air trembled violently.
Innumerable invisible sound blades emerged instantly amidst the swirling demonic music.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of giant sound blades swept out like scythes…
Those who rushed in from outside the walls were hit first!
Originally, there were countless people outside the Mu Family, but the walls restricted their numbers, drastically reducing them; at this moment…
The demonic music reached their ears!
Hundreds of experts from the First-Class Hall and the Lingxiao Palace suddenly experienced difficulties in circulating their vital energy and slower protection…

The guards at the front line nearly collapsed under the pressure, and their momentum to charge forward was greatly reduced.
Bang!
Bang bang bang bang!!
Huge sound blades, like layers of tangible scythes, swept through the crowd…
The guards had no way to resist such deafening sounds.
Over a hundred top fighters from Lingxiao Palace and Yipin Hall endured the impact of these sound blades under the force of inertia—spitting blood on the spot, their momentum completely halted, and they stumbled backward in disarray.
“Kill!!!”
At that moment,
Lingxiao Palace and Yipin Hall’s strength had dwindled to nothing. The elite at the front were trapped like in a quagmire, unable to escape, as they watched the fierce roars erupt from the Mu Family’s fighter group. One after another, they charged like tigers descending from the mountains, with relentless momentum.
Tragedy unfolded…
Hundreds of elite fighters who rushed into Mu Family’s territory, after enduring one round of attacks, hadn’t even had time to steady themselves or prepare for battle before being crushed by the wind-arrow formation formed by over a hundred Mu Family fighters.
Grade 4 master weapons!
Complete sets of Grade 1 equipment!
The top fighters at the front were all among the top ten from their respective factions, their magnificent gear making even many leaders of smaller gangs feel too ashamed to look directly at it.
With such overwhelming military strength combined, even Lingxiao Palace and Yipin Hall’s finest would find it hard to resist, let alone these already injured and demoralized elite fighters.
Boom!!!
The disciples of Lingxiao Palace and Yipin Hall at the front felt darkness before their eyes—they were either kicked away or slashed to the ground, their faces covered in footprints.
The attack was unstoppable!
The elite fighters in the front rows had no chance to defend themselves. After just a few slashes, they were sent flying.
Bang bang!
Hundreds of disciples from Yipin Hall and Lingxiao Palace were completely overwhelmed. The sharp-arrow formation formed inside Mu Family’s territory shattered the enemy’s first wave of fierce attacks.
Although those behind still tried to resist, the bodies flying in from the front acted like throwing weapons—too crowded to dodge, too chaotic to use weapons effectively.
In the chaos, Mu Family charged forward dozens of meters. When they encountered resistance, they didn’t hesitate—fighting one-on-one or two-on-one, using their most lethal moves to eliminate opponents.
While the lethality of Grade 4 weapons wasn’t extremely astonishing, it was still possible to seriously injure someone with just a few slashes. Once the Wind Spirit Spin was activated, almost no one around Mu Family’s fighters could stand.
Meanwhile…

The archers inside Mu Family’s branch altar closely followed and began to advance.
Whoosh!
Whoosh whoosh!!
It wasn’t a projectile attack but a direct shot, locking onto targets for free attacks.
The lethality of direct shots was countless times greater than that of projectiles!
Moreover, since Mu Family’s experts were well-equipped but few in number, the archers had ample room to operate without easily harming their own side, giving them great flexibility.
A rain of arrows swept across the battlefield…
Passing by Mu Family’s experts, they pinned their enemies like hedgehogs or forced them to hide everywhere.
At this moment…
The demonic sounds had ceased.
Under Mu Family’s fierce and decisive counterattack, Lingxiao Palace and Yipin Hall left hundreds of corpses behind in Mu Family’s branch altar and retreated in disarray.
However…
Mu Family did not stop advancing.
The retreating and advancing forces collided for a while, causing the crowd to halt, creating many opportunities for Mu Family.
Hundreds of Mu Family archers seized the chance to fire wildly in several rounds, aiming to maximize their gains and kill as many enemies as possible. It wasn’t until both sides reacted and began to defend themselves while firing back with arrows that they retreated in an orderly manner under Yin Hu’s command.
Yipin Hall’s assault was directly repelled…
But in the main camp behind them, at Lingxiao Palace, some trouble arose.
Although the outer walls remained as strong as ever, with Wind Chime and Yin Hu’s attention drawn to this side, many experts appeared in the rear.
After several desperate assaults, several skilled experts rushed into Mu Family’s expert formation, causing significant chaos.
With their coordinated firepower disrupted, danger emerged!
Seizing this opportunity, Haotian and Li Qing from Lingxiao Palace, along with the elite group of Lingxiao Palace’s best fighters, climbed over the wall one after another. Under the fierce sword auras of their Six Veins Divine Swords, Mu Family finally suffered casualties.
Both sides soon clashed!
The backyard caught fire!
The situation was critically precarious.
