On the flank of Red Fish Port, there was a stretch of continuous mudflats.
Because the terrain was complex and difficult to traverse, the Red Fish Gang had only set up a simple wooden fence here, leaving a few underlings to guard it.
At this moment, those underlings were gathered around a fire, holding wine gourds and chatting idly.
"Heard the Black Water Gang has been causing a lot of trouble lately?"
"Hah, they're just trying to scare people. Our Red Fish Port is as solid as a rock; they wouldn't dare come even if we gave them the guts!"
"Exactly, one comes, one dies. Just adds some side dishes for me!"
The few men laughed heartily, completely unaware that death was silently approaching.
In the darkness, Lu Chen moved like a leopard, silently creeping to the base of the wooden fence.
He peered through the gaps and saw the situation inside.
Four guards, two sabers, two spears.
The closest one was less than three steps away.
Lu Chen turned back and made a gesture to Wang Xiaoliu and the others behind him.
Three, two, one.
Lu Chen suddenly burst into action.
The Mountain Splitting Saber in his hand turned into a black lightning bolt, instantly slicing through the wooden fence.
Swoosh!
The closest guard didn't even have time to react before his throat was slit by the saber.
Blood splattered onto the campfire, sizzling.
"Enemy attack--!"
The remaining three guards were greatly alarmed and were about to shout.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Several crossbow bolts shot out from the darkness, accurately embedding themselves in their throats and chests.
That was Wang Xiaoliu and the others making their move.
"Charge in!"
Lu Chen grunted and kicked open the broken wooden fence, rushing into the camp first.
"Who are you?!"
The commotion here finally alerted the patrol team inside.
Soon, over a dozen Red Fish Gang members holding torches swarmed over from all directions.
"Black Water Gang business! Those who stand in my way die!"
Lu Chen didn't waste any words, charging straight at the dozen or so men.
"You're courting death! Cut him down!"
Seeing only Lu Chen charging at the forefront, the Red Fish Gang members grinned sinisterly and swung their sabers.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Over a dozen sabers struck Lu Chen almost simultaneously.
However, a scene that terrified them unfolded.
The sabers struck Lu Chen, emitting a sound like metal clashing, sending sparks flying.
Lu Chen's night-roaming clothes were torn to shreds, revealing his bronze-colored skin underneath.
Apart from a few shallow white marks, he was completely unharmed!
[Iron Cloth Shirt] + [Copper Skin]!
The double layer of defense made him practically a human tank in this low-level engagement.
"How is that possible?!"
The Red Fish Gang members' eyes widened as if they had seen a ghost.
"My turn."
Lu Chen grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth.
The Mountain Splitting Saber in his hand swept out horizontally.
Mountain Splitting Saber Technique!
This saber strike was powerful and heavy, whistling through the air.
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
Three heads flew into the air.
Blood gushed out like a fountain, drenching Lu Chen.
At this moment, he was covered in blood, like an Asura crawling out of hell.
"Ah—! Monster!"
The remaining Red Fish Gang members were terrified by the horrific scene and turned to flee.
But the thirty Black Water Gang elites behind Lu Chen had already caught up.
"Kill!"
Hand crossbows fired in unison, and saber light flashed.
A one-sided slaughter.
Lu Chen didn't stop; he remembered his mission.
Set fire! Create chaos!
He led his men, charging all the way inside.
Anyone blocking their path, whether a person or an obstacle, was cleaved in two by his saber.
If he encountered a sturdy courtyard gate, he directly channeled his Stone Crushing Palm and struck out.
The thick wooden door shattered into pieces under the effect of the Vibrating Force.
He had thus forcefully broken through the Red Fish Dock's flank defense.
Soon, they reached the vicinity of the granary.
If you like this book, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
"Light it up!"
Lu Chen gave the order.
Dozens of torches were thrown into the granary and the adjacent hay pile.
Whoosh—!
The fire, fanned by the wind, instantly surged skyward.
Billowing smoke, accompanied by flames, illuminated half the night sky.
"Fire! The granary is on fire!"
"The Black Water Gang has broken in!"
The entire Red Fish Dock instantly descended into chaos.
Countless Red Fish Gang members were awakened from their sleep and rushed out in disarray to put out the fire.
And at this moment, from the direction of the main water fort, earth-shattering shouts of battle also erupted.
"Zhao Tieshan of the Black Water Gang is here! You scum of the Red Fish Gang, die!"
Zhao Tieshan's thunderous voice echoed through the night sky.
The main force had launched its attack.
Caught between enemies on both sides, the Red Fish Gang was thrown into immense panic.
Lu Chen stood amidst the flames, watching the chaotic battlefield, not rushing to rejoin the main force.
He was looking for prey.
Killing ordinary grunts yielded little profit.
He was looking for the Red Fish Gang leaders.
Just then, a gust of wind suddenly struck from the side.
"Kid, how dare you burn my granary! Take your life!"
A thin, middle-aged man wielding twin hooks leaped from the rooftop, lunging straight at Lu Chen.
The man's speed was incredible, his twin hooks cutting through the air like cold light, aiming directly for Lu Chen's eyes.
Peak Flesh Refinement realm!
Lu Chen narrowed his eyes, sensing the sharp aura emanating from the man.
This was a master.
But he didn't retreat.
Instead, he charged forward to meet the opponent.
Just as the twin hooks were about to pierce his eyes, Lu Chen abruptly lowered his head, taking the blow directly with his forehead.
Sparks flew.
A bloody gash appeared on Lu Chen's forehead, but it wasn't pierced.
This was the confidence that allowed him to face the attack head-on.
As long as it wasn't a vital spot, as long as it wasn't a divine weapon, he dared to endure it!
Taking advantage of the opponent's stunned moment, Lu Chen's Mountain Splitting Saber swept upwards from below.
This strike was fast, precise, and ruthless.
The middle-aged man only had time to let out a scream before his entire body was sliced open from groin to chest.
Blood and internal organs spilled onto the ground.
Lu Chen didn't even glance at it, skillfully rummaging through the corpse.
Banknotes, elixirs...
He stuffed them into his robes.
His movements were fluid and practiced, clearly indicating he was a repeat offender.
"Leader Lu is mighty!"
Wang Xiaoliu and the others behind him watched, their blood boiling.
Following a boss like this, though dangerous, was damn exhilarating!
Lu Chen led his team, continuing to push towards the central area.
Along the way, they killed two more minor leaders who tried to block them.
His Mountain Splitting Saber was already chipped, and he had sustained several wounds, but his imposing aura grew even more astonishing.
Finally, they fought their way to the core plaza of Red Fish Dock.
There, Zhao Tieshan was leading the main force in the final decisive battle against the remaining forces of the Red Fish Gang.
Although the Red Fish Gang had a large number of people, they were already in disarray under the surprise attack of the Black Water Gang and the pincer movement.
Victory was all but assured.
Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, preparing to lead his men to join the fray.
Just then.
Deep within Red Fish Dock, in an exquisite pavilion.
A woman's sharp cry suddenly rang out.
"Zhao Tieshan! You've gone too far!"
The voice was clear and pleasant, yet carried a penetrating power.
Immediately after.
The roof of the pavilion exploded upwards.
A red figure, like a giant firebird, shot into the sky.
An oppressive aura, so strong it made it hard to breathe, instantly enveloped the entire battlefield.
That was... an aura beyond the Meridian Connecting Realm!
Lu Chen's eyelids twitched violently, his every hair standing on end.
That aura was even stronger than Zhao Tieshan's!
The Red Fish Gang's leader, Li Qingyi!
She had actually... broken through?!
