When Bai Ze saw the look in Black Panther's eyes, he understood its meaning and followed him at once.
Led by Black Panther, they reached the street where the battle had erupted more than ten minutes later.
Seeing the people ahead locked in nonstop slaughter, everyone joined the fray.
Bai Ze leaped into the melee, his longsword striking like a venomous snake flicking out its tongue. With every thrust, someone fell dead.
At the same time, he spotted people from the other halls on this street.
Especially one man not far ahead, wielding a steel saber. His Black Tiger Saber Technique surged with such force that the wind seemed to roar around it, every slash claiming a life.
With his formidable strength, he left severed limbs scattered everywhere he went.
A cold glint flashed through Bai Ze's eyes at the sight. He immediately sprang forward and charged into the fighting on that side.
After stabbing several times in succession, he darted to the man's side and said, "Deputy Hall Master Qian, the Hall Master sent me to support you."
"Good."
Hearing this, Qian Biao gripped his great saber with both hands and hacked several people before him to the ground. Then he said grimly, "What is the meaning of this, Leopard Hall? Why are you only arriving now?"
"Ten Thousand Blades Sect has already launched a full-scale attack. I refuse to believe you received no news beforehand."
Facing Qian Biao's ferocious expression, Bai Ze did not care in the slightest.
He replied unhurriedly that it was the Hall Master's order, then ignored the other man.
After all, Bai Ze had no desire to waste words on someone who was about to die.
Though Qian Biao was furious at the sight, he knew what took priority.
Yet in his heart, he had already decided that he would not let this go so easily.
At that moment, more and more enemies gathered around them. A Late Bone Refining Realm expert from the Ten Thousand Blades Sect charged at Qian Biao once again.
Qian Biao brandished his saber and fought him, while other gang members at the side helped surround and kill their foes.
Seeing this, Bai Ze had no intention of helping, though he kept a close watch on the situation over there.
After all, this had been part of the plan from the beginning.
Before coming here, he had already told Zhao Peng to lead his men forward steadily and cautiously.
Because of this, Snake Hall and the men Qian Biao had brought would not join up, while the Ten Thousand Blades Sect's people would converge here.
Sure enough, just as Bai Ze had anticipated, there were fewer and fewer people from Snake Hall, while the Ten Thousand Blades Sect's forces kept increasing.
Under such circumstances, Bai Ze had found his chance to make Qian Biao die without anyone knowing why.
By now, Qian Biao was beginning to falter. Though he had reached Bone Refining Realm completion, his stamina had fallen greatly after such prolonged fighting.
A mass of enemies stood before him. Not only was there a Late Bone Refining Realm fighter among them, there were also several elite gang members at Early Bone Refining or Skin Refining Realm.
After only a few minutes of combat, he was already struggling to hold on.
With a move of Black Tiger Emerges from the Mountains, his opponent forced him back. Qian Biao roared, "Bai Ze, what are you doing? Hurry up and come help!"
"Fine. Hold on a little longer. I'll be there right away."
Damn it!
Upon hearing Bai Ze's words, Qian Biao had wanted to say more, but the enemies ahead had already attacked him like mad. He could only defend himself passively.
Though he was filled with fury, he cursed without end in his heart, intending to find a chance to deal with Bai Ze after this was over.
Unfortunately, Qian Biao wanted to kill Bai Ze, but how could Bai Ze not want to kill him?
So Qian Biao would never get that chance.
Once Bai Ze saw that the timing was about right, the longsword in his hand moved even faster. After killing all the Ten Thousand Blades Sect members before him,
he sprang into the air and charged over, his longsword flicking up several opponents in succession and easing Qian Biao's crisis.
Seeing this, the Late Bone Refining Realm member of the Ten Thousand Blades Sect hacked at Qian Biao even more fiercely.
Though Qian Biao cursed inwardly upon noticing this, there was nothing he could do.
Bai Ze was in no hurry. Though he could have easily dealt with the few people before him, he deliberately fought them to a standstill.
Ha!
Die!
Just then, Qian Biao saw more members of the Ten Thousand Blades Sect rushing over and immediately let out a furious roar.
The great saber in his hand became even more savage. Enduring another slash to the shoulder by force, he killed the opponent before him.
A chilling light burst from Bai Ze's eyes when he saw this.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The longsword in his hand erupted in an instant. With a Sword Drawing Technique, he slit several throats before they could even react.
Though they found it hard to believe, they still collapsed into pools of blood.
Bai Ze did not spare them another glance. He had already silently arrived behind Qian Biao.
Though Qian Biao sensed something, he was pierced through the chest from behind by Bai Ze just as he tried to turn around.
Blood poured from Qian Biao's mouth, and disbelief filled his eyes.
He had never imagined that Bai Ze would strike against him at such a moment.
Fierce light surged from his eyes as he gritted his teeth and clenched his great saber, trying to turn around and counterattack. Even if he died, he would never let Bai Ze have it easy.
But Bai Ze gave him no chance. He swiftly pulled out his longsword, kicked him flying, then slipped into the crowd.
As for Qian Biao, he crashed headfirst into the blades of the charging enemies. Several members of the Ten Thousand Blades Sect hacked at him in succession, and he fell into a pool of blood.
Everything that had just happened occurred in the blink of an eye. Furthermore, Bai Ze's strike had been extremely covert. Amid the chaos, no one could possibly have noticed.
After confirming Qian Biao's death, Bai Ze's longsword flashed like lightning, killing several more people.
He suddenly kicked backward, stepped off the wall behind him, and leaped onto the rooftops of the shops, racing toward the other side from above.
Even if those below saw someone bounding over the rooftops on both sides of the street, they had no time to concern themselves with it.
A few minutes later,
Bai Ze had arrived at Zhao Peng's position. He leaped down, and several flashes of sword light passed by as a few members of the Ten Thousand Blades Sect fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Zhao Peng stepped back a few paces and respectfully asked, "Deputy Hall Master, how is it up ahead?"
"The people of Snake Hall can no longer hold on. Have the brothers fight their way forward with all their strength."
"Yes."
Hearing this, Zhao Peng respectfully nodded. His expression did not change in the slightest as he led his men forward once more.
Bai Ze watched his retreating back, a cold glint flashing through his eyes before vanishing in an instant. Only then did he grip his longsword and resume fighting.
After all, the fiercest battle was still on the other side, where all the upper ranks of Black Tiger Hall and the Ten Thousand Blades Sect were gathered.
There were so many Viscera Refining Realm martial artists fighting there that they could not be counted on both hands.
Even Old Gang Leader Black Tiger and the Ten Thousand Blades Sect Master Song Kai, two Blood Changing Realm experts, had entered the fray in full force.
Faced with such a situation, Bai Ze would not casually join the excitement before breaking through to the Viscera Refining Realm.
After all, he was not especially concerned with how the Black Tiger Gang and the Ten Thousand Blades Sect would ultimately fare.
As it happened, Black Panther had secretly given him a task earlier. Taking this opportunity, Bai Ze broke away and led his men to fight the Ten Thousand Blades Sect on several other streets.
While fishing in troubled waters, Bai Ze not only killed several key figures from the other halls according to the list, but also gained quite a few benefits.
After ordering his subordinates to check for any enemies who had slipped through the net, Bai Ze went alone to Qian Biao's corpse.
He found over two thousand taels' worth of Silver Notes on him, along with a copy of the Black Tiger Saber Technique.
As for the others, they claimed they were finishing off the wounded, but who among them did not quickly search the corpses? That was perfectly normal.
Bai Ze did not mind. A few minutes later, he gathered everyone and headed to the neighboring street to provide support, for the battle between the two gangs had not yet completely ended.
