Choosing Their Opponents

A loud shout from the direction of the clock tower immediately interrupted Hei Jinbao and his group's actions.

Everyone present instinctively looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Three elderly figures rushed towards them at a speed completely out of character for them.

Lu Bai and Dao Zhengmu recognized the three old men immediately.

Brother Kong, White-Browed Bat King, and Old Third Liu.

These three are all Grandmaster martial artists, and they are also fellow prisoners with Dao Zhengmu.

They were able to escape from prison because of Lu Bai.

It is worth mentioning that these three Grandmaster were still recovering from serious injuries.

It can only be said that the older generation of martial artists were indeed more focused on loyalty and righteousness.

Even though the current situation is clearly unfavorable to Lu Bai's side, they still chose to stand together.

The three landed and stood beside Lu Bai. The White-Browed Bat King looked around and finally fixed his gaze on Dao Zhengmu.

"Brother Dao, are you planning to follow this little benefactor?"

Dao Zhengmu clutched his chest and staggered as he straightened his back.

"You three old geezers, aren't you here too?"

"Haha, favors owed always have to be repaid."

Old Third Liu looked around, his gaze sweeping over Hei Jinbao and several other leaders of major forces. He added with a touch of emotion, "I haven't been in the martial world for a long time. It seems the young guys in Chikan Bay are quite formidable."

"That's... the White-Browed Bat King? And Third Master Liu and Black Hand Kong? Weren't these guys long gone? Why are they showing up now? And they seem to have some connection with Lu Bai?"

Xiao Fengze was puzzled and filled with questions.

Regardless of the reason, after these three veteran Grandmaster appeared and showed a clear bias towards the All Villains, Xiao Fengze felt a strong sense of joy.

After all, even the oldest Grandmaster is still Grandmaster.

Only Grandmaster- level martial artist of the same level can deal with it; Innate Martial Artist cannot use it to their advantage.

With the addition of these three veteran Grandmaster, the number of Grandmaster artists on the All Villains is even one more than the five leading forces.

Thirteen Yao carefully examined the three uninvited guests and vaguely recognized who they were.

The leaders of the other major forces had been in Chikan Bay for quite some time, so they could more or less guess the identities of the White-Browed Bat King and the others.

Of course, even if they recognized their identities, there was no fear involved.

They are merely the heads of a few leading forces from the previous generation in Chikan Bay, and they are quite old, so they pose little threat.

"Interesting, even you old fogies are jumping out."

Hei Jinbao grinned, revealing his yellowed teeth. "Can't you just find a place with good feng shui to retire in? Why do you have to come out here looking for trouble?"

Noah Zorro wiped his wrist, a hint of mockery in his voice. "Gentlemen, let these old fogies figure out whose era this is."

Lou Yunyi, who had been knocked away by Lu Bai's [Flash Time], stood up again. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared at Lu Bai without saying a word.

"We're getting old, but we still have plenty of strength left," the White-Browed Bat King retorted defiantly.

"Then let's see who's the best."

Crow Commander, too lazy to engage in empty rhetoric, went straight to making a concluding statement.

As he finished speaking...

In an instant, all the Grandmaster martial artists present, numbering more than ten, began to tacitly gather their aura.

Although he did not make a move, nor did he display any earth-shattering power fluctuations.

But the overwhelming sense of oppression that permeated the surroundings was like an ordinary person being thrown into a ring full of hungry tigers.

The instinctive reaction of life sent shivers down the spines of those watching, nearly causing them to collapse to the ground.

In contrast, Xiao Fengze seemed somewhat hesitant.

On one side were the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled, who outnumbered the other; on the other side were powerful Grandmaster in their prime, though the latter were outnumbered.

He found it extremely difficult to determine which side had the upper hand. If he ultimately lost, and had offended the leaders of those five major factions too much...

Xiao Fengze was still unable to make up his mind, but right now, he didn't have time to think about it anymore.

Hei Jinbao made the first move, rushing straight at Lu Bai.

His aura intensified, and his terrifying presence made it hard for people to breathe.

His move was like the sounding of a battle horn.

Thirteen Yao, Crow Commander, and Noah Zorro all chose their opponents and began to fight.

Admittedly, the five major powers have fewer Grandmaster, but they did not engage in as many one-on-one battles as possible.

Lou Yunyi, who had been Lu Bai earlier, made the same choice as Hei Jinbao.

Faced with two burly Grandmaster charging towards him, Lu Bai did not show any panic.

With a light tap of his toes, he quickly distanced himself from the White-Browed Bat King and the others beside him.

"Blackfinger!"

Brother Kong shouted, pointing his fingers like a sword, and slashed horizontally at Noah Zorro who was charging towards him.

Noah Zorro neither dodged nor evaded, but instead retaliated with a punch.

Bang!

The collision sent Brother Kong flying dozens of meters backward. The shocking impact left him trembling violently, his face turning deathly pale.

Brother Kong barely managed to steady himself in mid-air, a bitter sadness welling up in his heart.

As the saying goes, youth has the upper hand in boxing.

For martial artists, it's true that they can't deny the effects of aging.

The strength of Grandmaster in his prime is too great; if an aging body were hit by a punch, it would probably not be able to withstand it.

Fortunately, the All Villains on this side are not fighting alone.

Seeing that Brother Kong was being pushed back, Old Third Liu quickly stepped forward to help, delivering a powerful chop to the neck.

The old Grandmaster were still quite formidable in terms of attack; this hand chop was extremely lethal, and even as it was swung, it emitted a piercing sound like a blade being cleaved through the air.

Boom!

Nozoro was in an awkward state where his old strength had faded and new strength had not yet emerged. Unable to dodge in time, he took the full force of the chop.

The force of the blow was so great that even the ground trembled, and many thugs lost their footing and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the advantage of Grandmaster in his prime is that he has a long breath and is extremely resistant to blows.

Even if he takes a direct hit from a hand chop, he won't lose his ability to fight.

Dao Zhengmu and the White-Browed Bat King joined forces to fight against the Crow Commander, and it was difficult to determine a winner in a short time.

The only one-on-one duel was between Xiao Fengze and Thirteen Yao.

But this battle actually felt like the most peaceful of all the engagements.

Xiao Fengze was a little flustered at first, but after a couple of moves, he found that the pressure was not as great as he had imagined.

Looking at Thirteen Yao's feigned seriousness, he instantly realized that the guy was acting.

He didn't know why, but he was happy with it and didn't point it out.

To put it bluntly, their victory or defeat won't have a decisive effect; in the end, it still depends on Lu Bai's side.
