Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World-Chapter 50 - 47 Finishing Up
It turned out that the long howl was the secret signal of the Ma Zi Gang, signifying that the highest-ranking enemy was about to arrive and everyone must disperse and flee on the spot!
Moments ago, outside the gambling parlor, Leader Lei was taking on two opponents. Relying on the terrifying power of his late-stage Huajin,
he ejected Cheng Jiu with one blow and then slashed Yang Youzhi with another,
breaking through his Iron Shirt Technique.
Vice head Yang's Iron Shirt Technique had been cultivated to the mid-stage of Huajin, which should technically make him almost invulnerable to weapons,
but faced with the terrifying late-stage Huajin blade, he was unable to defend himself,
A long, bloody cut ran from his left shoulder to his left abdomen, the muscles were split open about two fingers deep, barely missing his organs.
This blade frightened Vice head Yang so badly that he immediately turned and ran,
Forget about martial arts, or gang fighting, none of it was as important as his own life,
So he withdrew from the battlefield and issued the long retreat howl.
After Yang Youzhi fled,
Leader Lei caught Cheng Jiu, and within five blows, he chopped off Cheng Jiu's head.
Without taking any rest, he directly rushed to the rear of the gambling parlor,
and was relieved to see that his son, Lei Zhen, was still there.
Then, he saw there were still several experts from Ma Zi Gang being tied up in the field, with no more words to say,
he rushed straight into the battlefield,
in a flash, his figure weaved around the field,
Ching, ching, ching, ching, ching!
After the five cuts, the reactions of the Ma Zi Gang's Mingjin experts in the field gradually became sluggish,
Then, bloodlines started to appear from their necks, blood spattered all over the place as they fell one after another.
Dealing with several people in one move, Leader Lei waved his hand:
"Chase!"
He directly led the chase outside.
If the snake doesn't die, there will be harm. If they can't hurt the Ma Zi Gang this time, when they recover and fight back, they would pose a serious threat to his Fish and Dragon Gang.
However, Leader Lei did arrive a little too late. In the entire backyard of the gambling parlor, more than 60% of his men from the Fish and Dragon Gang and the Iron Fist Hall were already dead,
The remaining ones were also heavily wounded, and there were about a dozen men including Chen Yi who had disappeared, their fate unknown.
When Leader Lei led the remaining men and chased, every few steps they would see someone lying on the ground,
If the person was from the opposing side, he'd stab them, if they were his own people, he'd arrange for their burial on his return.
Soon, Leader Lei, keeping an eye on the four Great Vajra of the opposing side with late-stage Huajin, pursued, while Lei Zhen chased after several Iron Skins. The rest of the men joined together, slashing at whoever they could catch up with.
In a short while, within a two-mile radius of the lakefront,
The fleeing experts from Ma Zi Gang fell once again.
In the end, except for Ma Wuye, the head among the four Great Vajra who chased after Chi Ying at the very beginning. The remaining three Anjin experts all died under Leader Lei's hand,
The surviving Mingjin ones were relatively lucky. After all, the young master had fought a great battle, and his strength was not much left. Each time he caught up with and killed one, he needed to rest,
As for the other men, they were not even comparable to Ma Zi Gang's experts, so they couldn't catch up. They could only watch helplessly as those men ran to the lakeside pier,
Each clambered onto a small boat and rowed away in random directions.
Seeing these people take on a boat and disperse like birds,
Leader Lei stood by the lakeside, and gave up on the chase,
Even if he continued to chase, he could only catch one or two more at most,
And with the enormous lake area with dense reed marshes blocking the view, and having killed all Anjin experts, over half of the enemy's middle-ranking experts were dead,
If he continued to chase, he didn't know where Vice head Yang, whom he had just slashed and chased off, was right now. If Yang were still nearby and were to unexpectedly come back and kill his men, it would be an unjustifiable loss.
So, Leader Lei led his men back to the gambling parlor,
And started to clean up the battlefield and collect the bodies.
Meanwhile, in the backyard of the martial arts school, Shi Zhenshan, seeing almost 80 percent of his more than 20 disciples had fallen,
Particularly when his eldest disciple, Shi Lei's skull was cracked open,
He was somewhat numbed and stiffened up.
In this battle, one punch had triggered his old wounds, causing his Yuanqi to suffer a significant damage,
Also, his top disciple, the one viewed as his heritage, had perished. The second disciple, Qi Ying, and the third disciple, Yun Hu, had disappeared without a trace,
Other familiar faces, who were his most loyal inner sect disciples and core disciples, lay scattered on the ground, copper cold,
He did a count; his inner sect disciples, astonishingly, had diminished to a handful,
Those who had been recently gathered from the town and village, older disciples, had experienced a few casualties, but the rest had disappeared without a trace.
"Alas…"
Shi Zhenshan sighed deeply. At this moment, he didn't know whether his philosophy of opening a martial arts school and taking disciples was correct,
Was this the outcome of his lifetime of fighting and killing...? freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
.....
On the lake shore, Qi Ying, riding on her long legs, was running for her life,
Thanks to Chen Yi's advice to practice the Eight Steps Chasing Cicada Technique whenever she was free, coupled with her months of training with Chen Yi, her vitality and blood had significantly improved,
This alone enabled her to survive from the chase of Ma Wuye, who had reached the intermediate level of Anjin.
Initially, upon seeing Qi Ying's escape, Ma Wuye was blocked by Shi Lei. When he resumed the chase, Qi Ying had already run a dozen meters away,
Ma Wuye just sneered. With his explosive power at the intermediate Anjin level, he believed he could quickly catch up with Qi Ying,
However, after a short burst of nearly hundred meters, Ma Wuye managed to get within a few meters of Qi Ying,
But once past that burst, the gap in martial methods became apparent,
His practice of the Iron Shirt Technique, focused on strengthening the body's defense, wasn't good for long-term pursuit,
Qi Ying's Iron Whip Leg might not be the best in terms of attack and defense, but it was the only technique in this set that involved body movement skills,
The Eight Steps Chasing Cicada, fast as galloping horses, wasn't a joke.
So although Qi Ying, being a woman, was slightly weaker, and just had her breakthrough in Anjin without sufficient burst strength,
She gradually managed to shake off Ma Wuye.
At least, she was safe until her vitality and blood ran out.
And Ma Wuye was chasing her with the intention of exhausting her,
Suddenly, he heard a long howl from the Vice head,
Ma Wuye shivered. Something big must have happened. Even the Vice head had to flee. There must be a grandmaster they couldn't handle.
Upon reaching a certain location, without a word, Ma Wuye found a small boat and hid in the Reed Marsh under the light dusky sky of early morning,
Doing the same were nearly seven or eight disciples of Ma Zi gang,
And one of them, named Wang Zhuang, an intermediate leader of the Ma Zi gang and a master of the late Iron Skin level, was the first to flee. He ran the furthest,
By coincidence, the direction he was fleeing in was where Chen Yi's family kept their boats in the Reed Marsh.
At this moment, Chen Yi had just made it into the Reed Marsh and was preparing to get on his family's boat,
But he heard another boat entering the marsh from a distance,
In the quiet early morning, the surface of the lake was calm. No sound could escape Chen Yi's ears,
From far away, Chen Yi heard the newcomer murmuring excitedly :
"Is it this boat?! Isn't this the one the Xu Family sold out? Hahaha, truly, Heaven never bars one's way!"
The newcomer was named Wang Zhuan, an intermediate leader in the Ma Zi Gang. It was he who had received the news from the Xu Family and dispatched five men to hijack the ship, all of whom ended up being killed.
Now, as his gang were fleeing like refugees, he had stumbled upon this large boat,
With this boat, he could quickly return to the county town via the waterway. He could even earn some credit if he made it back to the gang,
"Hahaha, Heaven is helping me!"
Wang Zhuang laughed heartily and started rowing his boat towards Chen Yi's family boat.
Suddenly, with a splash,
A figure sprang from the water beside him. This figure, like a fish jumping out of the water, flew onto his boat,
Wang Zhuang saw a pair of glowing iron fists racing towards his face.
"Secret Technique: Triple Breakthrough!"
