The Attack Comes

As night fell, the entire Laiyang City was plunged into darkness. Not a single person dared to light a lamp at this hour.

An oppressive atmosphere hung heavy in everyone's hearts. At this moment, whether they were Martial Artists or not, everyone knew that something big was definitely going to happen tonight!

Inside the Kaishan Martial Arts School, Huang Ling sat imposingly in the main seat, while Chang Yuchun, the school's master, stood below him in a subordinate's posture.

"Master Chang, the next step depends on your performance. Whether you can take down the Ox Demon Martial Arts School will determine if your Kaishan Martial Arts School can continue to operate in Laiyang City!"

Huang Ling's primary target was the Ox Demon Martial Arts School, as he already knew Zhang Longyun had been the one to instigate the martial arts school alliance.

Since that was the case, he would eliminate this troublemaker first!

"City Lord, rest assured. The strength of my Kaishan Martial Arts School now far surpasses that of the Ox Demon Martial Arts School. I will definitely deliver Zhang Longyun's head to your mansion!"

"Good!"

Chang Yuchun respectfully departed and immediately began mustering his troops. The entire Kaishan Martial Arts School was mobilized.

Over twenty Viscera Tempering Martial Artists, more than forty Blood Condensation Martial Artists, and over a thousand disciples at the Bone Forging stage and below – this was the current strength of the Kaishan Martial Arts School!

Without any explanation, Chang Yuchun led the charge, heading towards the Ox Demon Martial Arts School with his forces.

Huang Ling, having served as City Lord for decades, was truly skilled at playing the "drive the wolves to attack the tigers" game. He would incite the Kaishan Martial Arts School to attack other martial arts schools, and then he would emerge to clean up the mess.

This way, the City Lord's Mansion could obtain the most with the least cost. Power, reputation – it would all belong to Huang Ling in the end!

As for the Kaishan Martial Arts School, it was all up to his mood. If he was in a bad mood and Chang Yuchun, his dog, disobeyed, then he would kill him!

Chang Yuchun could never have dreamed of City Lord Huang Ling's intentions. If he had known, he probably wouldn't have pledged his allegiance.

As a Martial Artist, he had lost the heart to fight against heaven and earth. It could be said that Chang Yuchun's fate was already sealed.

But the end was still a ways off for him. The ones who should be feeling anxious right now were the Ox Demon Martial Arts School.

Soon, the Ox Demon Martial Arts School discovered the movements of the Kaishan Martial Arts School. Some disciples rushed back to report the news.

Zhang Yunhu was meticulously calculating his accounts when he suddenly heard a commotion outside and went out to investigate.

"Quick, tell me what happened! Why all this panic?"

"Ah? Steward Zhang, you don't know yet? The Kaishan Martial Arts School is attacking! They're like a dark cloud, packed with people!"

"How is that possible? Why would the Kaishan Martial Arts School suddenly attack us? You—" Zhang Yunhu tried to retort, but a loud shout suddenly echoed:

"Zhang Longyun, you son of a bitch, come out and face your Grandpa Chang! Today is the day your Ox Demon Martial Arts School perishes!"

"What? It's really that bastard Chang Yuchun!" Zhang Yunhu's eyes blazed with fury.

Despite his reluctance, he knew this was likely true!

"Damn it, Big Brother hasn't broken through yet. Now the Kaishan Martial Arts School is attacking. What are we going to do?"

Zhang Yunhu was a little anxious. For the past half-year, he had personally witnessed the Kaishan Martial Arts School grow stronger, feeding on the other three martial arts schools.

Not only disciples at the Bone Forging stage and below, but even some Martial Masters couldn't resist the temptation and joined the Kaishan Martial Arts School.

This meant the strength of the two sides was completely unequal. Zhang Yunhu didn't have the confidence that everyone in the Ox Demon Martial Arts School could fight three opponents at once!

When the realms were similar, numbers became the key to victory; that was common sense.

"Quick, quickly invite the Martial Masters! Gather the disciples and prepare to fight the Kaishan Martial Arts School to the death!" Zhang Yunhu shouted.

However, not many were willing to obey his orders. After all, everyone was smart enough to see the current situation clearly.

If they didn't run now, they would truly lose their chance to escape.

If you find this book enjoyable, please add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

Seeing this, Zhang Yunhu, though anxious, was helpless. He could only go find some Viscera Tempering Martial Artists himself to hold the fort.

But after searching everywhere, he found that out of the eighteen Martial Masters originally remaining in the martial arts school, only half were left.

And these few were all older individuals who had been with the Ox Demon Martial Arts School for many years.

An old Martial Master stepped forward, cupped his fists, and said, "Steward Zhang, the martial arts school has treated us well. Now that the school is in trouble, we will not flee!"

This Martial Master's thoughts were clearly shared by the others.

Although Zhang Yunhu was a little moved, he also knew that with only the few people present, it would likely be useless.

After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth, only to feel a heavy hand land on his shoulder.

Turning around, he saw his elder brother, Zhang Longyun.

Seeing that familiar face, Zhang Yunhu almost burst into tears on the spot. Zhang Longyun could only gently pat Zhang Yunhu's shoulder and smile, "Third Brother, you've worked hard. From now on, let Big Brother handle it!"

"Big Brother, have you broken through?"

Looking at Zhang Yunhu's hopeful eyes, Zhang Longyun gave a bitter smile, "Almost!"

Instantly, Zhang Yunhu's smile vanished. His body swayed, and he mumbled, "How could this be? Big Brother, how could you be just short? Without breaking through, how can our Ox Demon Martial Arts School overcome this crisis?"

Just then, Chang Yuchun arrived with the elite forces of the Kaishan Martial Arts School. Every one of them was radiating murderous intent, and many held bloody weapons in their hands, clearly having already taken lives.

Zhang Longyun watched as Chang Yuchun slashed a disciple who blocked his path, his anger erupting. He could no longer hold back.

"Villain, take your life!"

He unleashed his full power with his first move. A surge of potent Qi and Blood erupted, cracking the solid floor.

Seeing this, the Martial Artists on both sides immediately engaged in battle, but deliberately avoided the two in the center.

When Chang Yuchun and Zhang Longyun fought, every strike was exceptionally powerful, the sound of air exploding causing those around them to retreat further.

After several exchanges, Chang Yuchun laughed heartily, "Zhang Longyun, I knew you hadn't broken through yet. The Innate bottleneck, how could a reckless man like you break through it?

But today, it will be your death day! Lord Wang, Lord Li, and Lord Zhao, quickly lend me a hand!"

Three figures suddenly appeared, they were precisely the Viscera Tempering Martial Artists recruited by the City Lord's Mansion who were skilled in combined attacks.

There were originally four of them, but today Zhang San was suddenly missing, so it became three.

With these three working together, they could temporarily resist Zhang Longyun, who was at the peak of Viscera Tempering. Coupled with Chang Yuchun, who was evenly matched on the side, Zhang Longyun was clearly at a disadvantage.

As they fought, the four quickly forced Zhang Longyun into a corner. When there was nowhere left to retreat, it would be Zhang Longyun's defeat!

Zhang Yunhu watched anxiously from the side, but could do nothing. He was merely at the Blood Condensation realm, still far from strong enough to resolve the situation.

Suddenly, Chang Yuchun found an opening and was about to heavily injure the unprepared Zhang Longyun with a single blow, but unexpectedly, a blurry afterimage suddenly appeared.

In just a few leaps, the Martial Artists blocking his path were sent flying.

Chang Yuchun, who was about to end the fight, felt his scalp tingle, as if he had been targeted by an ancient ferocious beast.

Warnings sounded in his mind, "Run, or you'll die!"

Chang Yuchun did not hesitate to abandon his attack opportunity, but he still felt a pain in his back. He turned and looked down, only to see that his internal organs had been pierced through!

With intense unwillingness, Chang Yuchun fell straight down.

With a single strike, Chang Yuchun, at the peak of Viscera Tempering, was killed instantly!

The sudden turn of events stunned everyone present. They all stared blankly at the young figure.

Clad in green, with a handsome face, like an exiled immortal!
