Two days later, they finally saw the Yong City some distance away.
During these two days, Wang Teng and his teammates remained hidden to evade the military martial warriors. They took a long detour before they finally came back to Yong City.
âThey know where we came from, so they might try to intercept us outside the city gates,â Lin Zhan said.
âThat is highly possible.â Wang Teng nodded.
âIs the Crimson Tiger Troop able to cover the sky with one hand?â Liu Yan said furiously.
âLetâs contact Jixin Martial House first and ask them to come out and fetch us,â Wang Teng contemplated before replying.
Lin Zhan nodded. He opened the communication function on his wristwatch and sent a signal.
The wristwatch was a rune item and could be used as a communication device in the Xingwu Continent. However, there was one con when using it here. If the distance was too much, the other party wouldnât be able to receive the signal.
This was why they couldnât contact Jixin Martial House in the past two days.
Sometime later, Lin Zhan smiled brightly. âIâve contacted them. They will come out and fetch us very soon!â
âThatâs great. I donât believe that the Crimson Tiger troop can disregard our Jixin Martial House,â Yan Jinming said.
âWe canât rely solely on Jixin Martial House to solve this matter.â Wang Teng shook his head.
Lin Zhan and the others had grave expressions on their faces. They also knew that this matter was a little troublesome. After all, the military had sent a large number of advanced-rank martial warriors to chase them.
Also, they had released Li Tonghai!
That old fellow was locked in cell 99. He was not an ordinary prisoner.
Although they were forced to make the decision because they had no other choice, the Crimson Tiger Troop wouldnât care about their reason.
In summary, if their support wasnât strong enough, they wouldnât be able to escape this ordeal.
Half an hour later, a large group of martial warriors from Jixin Martial House walked out of the city. The passers-by around them hurriedly parted to the sides to make way for them.
âWhatâs going on? Is the Jixin Martial House having an excursion?â
âAre you blind? Canât you see how fierce they looked? Do they look like they are going for an excursion?â
âIt looks like something big is about to go down!â
â¦
Everyone started gossiping in low voices.
A few martial warriors from the Crimson Tiger Troop also saw this scene. They were hiding in the shadows. They asked Li Gang uncontrollably, âLieutenant Li, what should we do?â
âIt looks like they are back!â Li Gangâs expression was extremely ugly. He said in a low voice, âLetâs go. Letâs see if the Jixin Martial House dares to hinder the Crimson Tigerâs operation.â
Li Gang walked out with many martial warriors from the Crimson Tiger Troop. They walked towards the people from Jixin Martial House without backing down.
A muscular man from the Jixin Martial Houseâs side walked forward and asked Li Gang, âHow do I address you?â
âLi Gang, Crimson Tiger Troop, lieutenant!â Lieutenant Li said coldly.
âChen Tian, guardian of Jixin Martial House.â The muscular man continued, âMay I know what crime my Jixin Martial House martial warriors have committed that caused you to mobilize so many people?â
âComplying on the surface but opposing in heart, delaying the battle and causing the death of many of my military martial warriors, escaping from prison thereafter and releasing a major criminal, are these crimes enough?â Li Gang replied coldly.
The people around them went into an uproar.
âThe martial warriors from Jixin Martial House committed such huge crimes?!â
âThis is big news!â
âIf they donât take care of this matter properly, the reputation of Jixin Martial House will be greatly affected.â
â¦
Chen Tianâs expression changed slightly. However, he still braced himself and said, âThis is just your side of the story. I will have to confirm if this is the truth.â
âWhy will I lie to you?â Li Gang flew into a rage. His aura erupted and surged towards Chen Tian.
Chen Tian wasnât one to take it lying down. His aura exploded too. It was as powerful as Li Gang. He said, âLieutenant Li, hold your horses. Letâs call the people concerned and talk things out.â
âAlright, call them over,â Li Gangâs gaze flickered as he answered.
Chen Tian sent a message through his wristwatch. Then, he waited.
â¦
âLetâs go. Guardian Chen Tian asked us to go over,â Lin Zhan said after he received the message.
Wang Teng and the others nodded. They ran towards the city gate.
âThey are here.â Chen Tian smiled slightly as he saw the figures rushing towards them quickly.
When Wang Teng and the others got closer, Chen Tian frowned as he looked at them. âWhy are you in this state? Never mind. Please explain what happenedââ
âTake them down!â
Before he could finish speaking, Li Gang gave his order.
The martial warriors under him raised their rune guns immediately and aimed at Wang Teng and his teammates.
Lin Zhan and the others turned pale in shock. They didnât expect Li Gang to act so recklessly.
âLieutenant Li, what is the meaning of this?â Chen Tian shouted as his expression changed.
âNothing. If they have anything to say, they can say it back at the Crimson Tiger Troopâs headquarters,â Li Gang said expressionlessly.
âIs the Crimson Tiger Troop always so overbearing?â Chen Tianâs face was black. He said coldly, âThey are our Jixin Martial Houseâs martial warriors. Donât even think of taking them away before things get clear.â
âTake them! If anyone dares to resist, kill them!â Li Gang ignored him and gave his order once again.
The military martial warriors surrounded Wang Teng and his teammates. Their rune guns were aimed at the vital points of their bodies. At such a close distance, it was very hard to evade the bullets.
âThis is too much!â
Chen Tian glared at them indignantly. The aura around him exploded, and he charged towards the military martial warriors who were surrounding Wang Teng and his friends.
Boom!
Li Gang blocked his path. When their fists collided, it was like bombs were going off in the air.
Wang Teng and the others saw them start their fight, so they dashed towards the military martial warriors too.
âPfft!â
However, the instant they took a step forward, they were seriously injured. Blood spurted out of their mouths, and they flew back.
5-star soldier level! Wang Tengâs pupils froze. He saw the man who had pushed them back easily.
A 5-star soldier-level martial warrior was hiding among the military martial warriors!
âAre you going to surrender, or do you need me to capture you personally??â The 5-star soldier-level martial warrior looked at Wang Teng with a mocking smile.
Wang Teng didnât say anything. His Shooting Star Spiral was getting restless. It was on the verge of flying out.
He didnât mind killing a 5-star soldier-level martial warrior today!
âIt looks like I have to do it personally. Sigh, youngsters refuse to be convinced unless they are faced with grim reality.â The 5-star soldier-level martial warrior shook his head. Suddenly, he disappeared on the spot.
Bang!
The next moment, he appeared again, but he didnât manage to catch Wang Teng. Instead, he was sent flying backward at an even faster speed.
âYoung man, didnât your chief commander tell you that your blade should be facing the other races, not one of your kind?â An old voice sounded behind Wang Teng.
âUncle Hei!â Wang Tengâs expression changed.
âUncle Hei!â
Chen Tian, Lin Zhan, and the others called out in pleasant surprise.
The elder who suddenly appeared was Uncle Hei from Jixin Martial House.
âHow do I address you?â Li Gang asked sternly when he saw the elder.
âLi Hei, the Xingwu Continent commanding guardian of Jixin Martial House,â Uncle Hei smiled and replied calmly.
âCommanding guardian!â Li Gangâs expression changed.
He knew that the Xingwu Continent commanding guardians of the top three martial arts academies were at least 6-star soldier-level martial warriors.
If so, this ordinary-looking old man was actually a 6-star soldier-level martial warrior? Maybe⦠he was stronger than that!
âWait, Li Hei? You are that Li Hei!!â Li Gang seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed entirely.
âOh, it has been so many years, yet someone still remembers an old fellow like me?â Li Hei said in astonishment.
âIn the past, on the Guangtong battlefield, the 9-star soldier-level Dominance Blade Li Hei executed a general-stage martial warrior from the devil race!â Li Gang emphasized every single word.
âOld memories are nothing worth mentioning,â Li Hei placed his hands behind his hunched back and replied calmly.
The jaws of Lin Zhan and his teammates almost touched the floor.
Wang Teng was stunned for a long time. He was flabbergasted.
Oh my god.
Dominance Blade!
A 9-star soldier-level martial warrior who killed a general-stage martial warrior from the devil race!
Uncle Hei had such a glorious achievement!
Who would think that this ordinary-looking Uncle Hei would be such a formidable martial warrior? It was unimaginable.
âIt has been ten years, but the aura of Dominance Blade hasnât changed.â A voice rang out from far away in the sky. It seemed to be echoing beside everyoneâs ear.
Three black dots appeared on the horizon. Within a few breaths, they appeared in front of everyone and landed gently.
âWalking in the air. 7-star soldier level!â The crowd was dumbfounded and exclaimed uncontrollably.
âYouâre speaking too highly of me. Why do you need to make a trip here? Itâs just a small quibble between the younger generations,â Li Hei said.
âWe donât have a choice. This isnât a small matter. Our chief commander personally asked about this, so we have to make a trip personally,â one of the men smiled and replied.
At this moment, a military martial warrior from Yong City ran out and said, âIâve just received this news. Our General Shen invites everyone to the military camp. He says that we are all on the same side, so we should sit down and talk things out. Thereâs no need to fight.â
âI didnât think that we would alert General Shen. Lead the way. Itâs indeed not appropriate to talk about this outside,â the man gave a bitter smile as he replied.
