The Battle's Direction

"If you insist, I can let you go and spar with Hei Jinbao a couple of times first."

The Crow Commander decisively took half a step back, adopting a posture of retreat.

Unfortunately, in this chaotic battle, the Raven faction actually suffered the most severe losses.

After all, compared to other leading forces, it is far too easy for them to replenish their personnel.

Chikan Bay lacks everything, except for petty thugs who want to join gangs.

However, the Raven Crow has very high requirements for its members; only those with Innate Martial Artist are qualified to join.

This means that for crows to replenish their numbers, it not only takes a long time but also relies on luck.

Before the chaos began, the Raven faction, including the Crow Commander, consisted of thirteen people.

After one night, the number of remaining members was barely more than half. It would probably take at least a year and a half for them to recover.

Based on this, the Crow Commander couldn't help but feel the urge to retreat, and lost interest in continuing to fight Noah Zorro.

"Hmph, trying to escape?"

Noah Zorro was not about to agree. He immediately withdrew his gaze from Hei Jinbao and focused all his attention back on the Crow Commander in front of him. "It's not that easy."

Just then, an official wearing the Noah Party's insignia of a newsboy cap suddenly rushed over.

He anxiously reported, "Party leader, there's been no news from Cilang!"

Even in front of the Crow Commander, Noah Zorro didn't appear too anxious, and instead asked calmly, "What was the last message Xilang sent back?"

"He seemed to be saying that a new force has joined the war."

Noah Zorro frowned slightly. "The Nanxing Association, the Jin Family Gang, the Crow Gang, and the Arid Tiger Hall have all arrived. Which other force in Chikan Bay would dare to intervene at this time?"

The person they were talking about, Xilang, was a cadre of the Noah Party. Although he only had the cultivation of Postnatal Martial Artist, there were quite a few people in Chikan Bay who could deal with Xilang.

But you have to consider the owner before you beat a dog.

Aside from these leading figures, who else would dare to lay a hand on the Noah Party?

Aren't you afraid of the bloody retaliation that will follow?

The cadre who brought the news quickly said, "It's still unclear who did it, but Sack has already taken his men over there."

"Sack? Is he the only one in your Noah Party with a chance of becoming Grandmaster?"

The Raven Crow's main focus is on an elite system, and the Crow Commander is naturally very familiar with all the Innate Martial Artist in Chikan Bay.

"Oh God, Higgins, did you hear that? Even this Crow Commander knows your name, Sack."

Noah Zorro displayed a slightly exaggerated expression of amazement.

The cadre named Higgins readily gave a positive answer, "Sack would never betray the Noah Party."

Noah Zorro was overjoyed, glancing sideways at the raven. "You heard everything? I advise you..."

He had only spoken halfway when a deafening battle cry suddenly came from afar.

And as time went on, the shouts of battle grew louder and louder.

Immediately afterwards, both sides in the standoff, as well as the various forces fighting nearby, all noticed this group of uninvited guests.

Because the number of these uninvited guests was simply outrageous.

As the saying goes, when there are tens of thousands of people, there is no limit.

A population of several thousand people would also be adequately described using this term.

I watched helplessly as crowds surged out from every direction—streets, alleyways, and windows of residential buildings—the sheer number of them making me dizzy.

Almost in the blink of an eye, a vast sea of heads filled my field of vision.

"What... what force is this?!"

Noah Zorro didn't understand, but he was so shocked that he blurted it out.

Aside from the top few, where else in Chikan Bay can you find such a large-scale force?

Most importantly, this group came from the direction that Xilang and Sack were guarding.

Leaving aside Xilang, the fact that even a half-step Grandmaster like Sack had problems means that this mysteriously emerging force is not lacking in high-end combat power.

"How is that possible?"

Even the Crow Commander couldn't help but frown.

Aside from Zhonglouba, where the Daoist Dao Sect is located, the entire Chikan Bay area has been divided up by a few leading powers. Where would there be any extra resources to support a force of this caliber?

No matter how incredulous the people present were, it couldn't change the facts before their eyes.

Noah Zorro turned and exchanged a glance with the Crow Commander.

They instantly understood the other party's idea—to work together and deal with these uninvited guests first.

It's fine for established powers to fight to the death among themselves, but if a new and unfamiliar force like you dares to try and steal the spoils, don't blame us for joining forces to suppress you.

The two Grandmaster martial artists went against the flow of people at almost the same time.

In an instant, it was as if two nuclear bombs had been dropped on an All Villains, and dozens of figures were sent flying into the sky by the violent force.

The terrifying performance of the two Grandmaster was like a blow to the head, instantly halting the overwhelming momentum.

To put it bluntly, this newly formed organization, "All Villains," is less a powerful force and more a loose alliance devoid of loyalty.

With the wind at your back, you'll be on the wave; against the wind, you'll never know who's who.

In the blink of an eye, even many of the All Villains began howling and fleeing in the opposite direction.

This also dragged in those who were originally planning to charge forward, and it looked like a major rout was about to occur.

Noah Zorro and the Crow Commander were both somewhat bewildered.

Because it was so easy, they didn't even feel much resistance.

It was almost like a shepherd herding sheep; it felt no different from hitting a sandbag.

Even if we knew from the beginning that these thugs could only intimidate us and we couldn't expect them to put in their full effort, the fact that they were this incompetent was still too abstract.

Dao Zhengmu and Xiao Fengze were not surprised at all.

Before the crowd could collapse, Dao Zhengmu called out from the side, "Young friend Xiao, one for each of you?"

Xiao Fengze turned to look at the old man and nodded slightly. "That's exactly what I was thinking."

Immediately afterwards, the two rushed towards the two centers of chaos.

Watching the two depart, Lu Bai said thoughtfully, "What do you think we should do to improve this?"

Xiao Xueyin thought for a moment and said, "After it's over, leave it to me. I don't have to train everyone to be fearless, but at least they won't collapse at the first touch."

The two spoke with remarkable composure in the face of the current situation, as if they were outsiders.

In the crowd, Noah Zorro and the Crow Commander were slaughtering everyone around them, with cries of pleas for mercy and wails echoing everywhere.

Noah Zorro turned and kicked out, knocking down a group of people. Then he stood up and stomped down, sending dozens more flying.

On the other side, the Crow Commander's performance was equally impressive.

The two Grandmaster- level martial artists were simply unleashing their full power amidst the crowd.

Until...

Thud! Thud!

Two muffled thuds followed, and visible, semi-transparent ripples of power spread outwards.

Dao Zhengmu braced himself against the Crow Commander's whip-like leg with one hand. "That's enough."

Noah Zorro's straight punch was blocked by Xiao Fengze, who was wearing boxing gloves, with a straight punch at the same angle.

"Noah Zorro, right? Don't worry, it won't waste your time."
