Chapter 235: Mid-Autumn Day, a storm rises
Hearing this, all four understood Ye Gucheng's meaning.
He wanted to use this battle to lay the foundation for the Sword Sect's unification of the Jianghu.
"But with our current strength, it will be difficult to defeat the combined forces of the major sects," Guo Songyang said calmly.
Ye Xiang nodded as well and said gravely, "Although we have brought more than twenty Jianghu factions in Hexi under our banner and have over a thousand disciples, most of these factions only submitted because they had no choice before our Sword Sect's strength. Now that the major sects have joined forces to stop us, the enemy is strong and we are weak. If fighting actually breaks out, these factions may not lend a hand. They might even switch sides on the battlefield and join the major sects against us."
"Without other reinforcements, it will be difficult to win with our current strength alone!"
Ye Gucheng narrowed his eyes slightly and was about to speak when a calm voice suddenly rang out from afar:
"Who said there were no reinforcements?"
Everyone started and hurriedly turned to look.
They saw two figures slowly approaching along the distant mountain path.
The man in front wore a long black robe, his face aloof and cold. He held a longsword in a black scabbard, and as he walked, a sword intent filled with slaughter and deathly stillness surged toward them.
The pupils of Guo Songyang and the other three contracted. Their hair instantly stood on end, and they instinctively tightened their grips on their longswords.
A master!
But before they could act, a trace of a smile appeared on Ye Gucheng's lips. He suddenly took two steps forward to greet them.
"You came."
Guo Songyang and the others froze.
