Chapter 757: Submit, or Perish
“You must not touch this woman.”
The moment these words were spoken, the Silver Fox’s gaze darkened. In an instant, he transformed into a streak of fiery light and swiftly passed by the middle-aged man…
The middle-aged man seemed indifferent, but the moment the Silver Fox’s figure flashed by, his own form twisted abruptly, vanishing into a blur amid the howling wind.
Snap!
His shoulder tightened as the Silver Fox spun and moved two meters away, yet the wind kept howling around him. The man’s presence clung to him like a parasitic worm: “As long as I’m here, you can’t touch her.”
In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged man was once again in front of the Silver Fox. Though he didn’t attack, his skill and calm, precise movements revealed the prowess of a master.
This man…
was even more formidable than the man in black from Yangzhou’s dock, “Jian Piao”!
“Is that so?”
Repeatedly blocked, the Silver Fox remained calm, his expression cold. He suddenly charged forward, unleashing a flurry of blood-red palm prints.
The deputy head of Longmen’s faction’s expression turned grave. If it had been mere feints, he wouldn’t have had any problem…
But the Silver Fox was undoubtedly one of the top fighters in the Central Plains, each move carrying intense heat that drained the enemy’s internal energy and protective forces.
“As expected of the second strongest fighter of the Mu family…” Seeing the Silver Fox’s attention shift, the middle-aged man also had to take it seriously. He retreated while parrying the sudden threats emerging from the swirling palm shadows.
After dozens of exchanges in the blink of an eye, neither could gain the upper hand…
Yet the Silver Fox had figured out some of the other man’s background:
“Hmph! So you’re a master from the Bagua Sect. Instead of seeking blessings in America, you’ve come to the Central Plains to stir up chaos.”
“…Not bad insight.”
The Silver Fox’s words revealed the other man’s origin. His expression changed briefly before returning to normal. Deflecting a round of rapid attacks from the Silver Fox, he laughed and said, “It’s just returning to one’s roots. Your fighting skills are impressive—probably from the military, right?”
“Hmph!”
The Silver Fox ignored the deputy head’s probing questions. Thinking of Fengling dying at the hands of these people, the killing intent in his eyes grew stronger:
“I see you’ve come back to cause trouble…” Instead of staying in America, he returned to the Central Plains and incited Lingxiao Palace and Yipin Hall to start a war among the four top factions here. This wasn’t returning to one’s roots at all…
The middle-aged man’s expression turned cold:
“Young man, speak with some virtue.”
Two consecutive palm strikes were launched, but Silver Fox didn’t hesitate—she blocked them back with sheer force. Already having an advantage in strength and internal energy, she had no concern for such a head-on confrontation.
Bang!
Both sides stepped back.
The middle-aged man crushed a tile on the roof to barely dissipate all his force. His face turned red, and his gaze grew sharper:
Although he came from the military, Silver Fox’s strength and reflexes were far beyond those of an ordinary veteran. She not only understood his fighting style well but also moved with terrifying efficiency, without any hesitation—relying solely on instinct and possessing exceptional combat experience. Likely from a special unit…
“I’ve changed my mind now.”
Silver Fox had roughly assessed her opponent’s strength. Though he was strong and an experienced veteran who knew his sect well, he was too focused on one martial art and stubbornly clinging to outdated methods, ignoring the principle of mutual restraint among martial arts in the game.
Coincidentally, “Red Flame Palm” countered most fist and foot techniques. If she went all out, she was confident she could kill him after 200 strikes.
With a quick step, Silver Fox rushed back without hesitation, continuing her offensive!
Unfortunately…
Although the deputy head of Longmen was at a disadvantage in hand-to-hand combat, he wasn’t stubborn. Frowning, he silently signaled another Longmen disciple to join the fight.
At the same time, Qin Qing had retreated to a safe distance, ordering the disciples of Lingxiao Palace to surround Silver Fox and the others…
The situation suddenly changed!
Silver Fox faced immense pressure. Realizing it was hard to escape, she shouted at Xiao Bei, Feng Zhi, and the others to accelerate their escape while fighting desperately against the deputy head of Longmen.
“Brother Silver Fox!!”
“Headmaster!!”
“Don’t go…”
“Break through at all costs! Kill as many Lingxiao Palace members as possible… We must not let them escape unscathed!”
“Kill!”
In the streets, the experts from Mu Family launched another wave of attacks.
Trapped in a desperate situation, the experts from Mu Family unleashed their final strength, uniting as one force, fearless and determined!
They charged deep into the streets…
Everyone in their path was crushed!
“Not a single person from Mu Family shall escape!” Standing high above, Qin Qing frantically directed her men to surround and intercept them, reducing Mu Family’s forces steadily.
Though Lingxiao Palace suffered greater losses, Qin Qing couldn’t accept the possibility of Mu Family members escaping Yangzhou alive under these circumstances!
It was absolutely forbidden!!!
After a fierce charge, Xiao Bei and his men were met with intense resistance at an intersection by the troops of Lingxiao Palace. A rain of arrows poured down, knocking down more than a dozen skilled fighters from the Mu family instantly, halting their advance.
“I’ll go kill that woman…”
Furious, Xiao Bei prepared to leap onto the roof, but Feng Zhi firmly pulled him back: “There are too many skilled fighters around that woman! Don’t go and die!”
“But…”
Xiao Bei was indignant. While waving his sword with one hand to block the arrows, Feng Zhi grabbed Xiao Bei’s clothes tightly: “Stop dawdling! The real task is to lead the brothers out and fight! Not letting that wretched woman kill us is the greatest humiliation for her… Let’s go!!” He shouted the last word with all his strength.
Xiao Bei was convinced…
Because he saw several arrow shafts, with both ends cut off, stuck in Feng Zhi’s chest—unremoved, yet he endured the pain and continued to lead from the front.
“Brothers! Follow me and charge!!!”
Xiao Bei’s eyes turned blood-red as he transformed into a deadly black mist, rushing into the intersection without hesitation…
Facing countless arrows flying at him, he moved forward without hesitation!
With his fourth-tier magic weapon, Xiao Bei was no longer afraid of such attacks. Alone against the arrow rain, he charged into enemy ranks at full speed, sparking a storm of blood and chaos—Xiao Bei, who had always relied on ambushes, now took on the main role for the first time.
Feng Zhi did not follow. Watching Xiao Bei rampage through enemy ranks like a demon, tearing apart their formations, and seeing the Mu family’s brothers flood into the next street, he smiled in relief…
Yin Fox was trapped.
He… had no strength left.
Now, it depended on Xiao Bei to lead everyone out.
