Mu Clan began to mobilize their forces.
They looked as if they wanted to prepare for the final assault. A very prominent increase of members at the two directions where the walls had collapsed and which had led to their most devastating losses appeared.
The Towering Palace members quietly watched them, but they did not bother about it.
In the next attack, the two directions where the walls had collapsed will definitely suffer the most pressure, and it was perfectly normal for Mu Clan to draw members from the other two directions to strengthen the defenses in the two directions that were weaker.
"Hurry up and restore your qi."
"Those people from Mu Clan are all tough cookies. They're not easy to deal with."
"Later on, let's form a party."
"Alright."
"I wonder if there is still time to repair our equipment. There are a few cracks on my weapon."
"...We won't be spending a lot of time for the next attack."
While they waited in silence, quite a number of people will occasionally whisper to each other.
Everyone was preparing for the final attack, which will happen very soon.
But the people from Towering Palace did not notice that when Mu Clan was continuously mobilizing their forces, their formation had changed slightly.
The people who served as archers just now had switched their weapons at the back. They put away their bows and arrows and hung small but exquisite hidden weapon pouches by their waists or small flying knives.
"Hmm?"
"Those people from Mu Clan sure are bold. They're thinking of repairing the wall even now?"
Some people in the crowd scoffed while they stared at the forces approaching the wall.
Very soon, a few people had their expressions change slightly, and they noticed that the situation was not right.
There was not just a small group of people approaching the wall, but a large group was advancing toward it.
"That's not right!" When Clear Music noticed this, Mu Clan's forces had already quietly reached the position where Mu Clan's walls were.
When the Towering Palace members outside the branch noticed that the situation was off and grabbed their weapons…
"Kill them!"
Mu Clan's elites charged like tigers out of their fences. They quickly rushed to the enemies surrounding them from two sides, and they moved like tidal waves.
The people from Towering Palace had their expressions change, and they quickly got up.
But the distance of dozens of feet shrank to zero in the blink of an eye. The people right in front of Towering Palace's group panicked, and they quickly retreated.
Boom!
With Silver Wolf, Little North, Feng Zhi, and a few other aces taking the lead, Mu Clan's arrow formation charged into Towering Palace's camp with a powerful force that can easily break through everything. All of them had fierce looks of their faces as they swung their weapons.
Chapter 756 - Shed Blood in Yangzhou City
Mu Clan's forces rushed out!
The Towering Palace members were caught off guard, allowing the elites led by Silver Wolf, Little North, and Feng Zhi to rush 328 feet forward with a powerful charge. They tore a huge gap into the black mass of people and slaughtered their way into the street.
Mu Clan's elites followed behind them, and each person was filled with a great wave of madness. They relied on their excellent equipment to charge forward without regard for their lives.
And they continued charging forward madly!
Towering Palace lost a lot of their elites.
Vast Heaven, Grim Green, and the Dragon Sect elites were not around. When they saw that Silver Wolf and the other elites had charged on them fiercely, a small number of elders s.u.c.k.e.d in sharp breaths. They retreated while they ordered the members around them to fight against Mu Clan. But how could normal Towering Palace members hope to fight against a powerful offense that Mu Clan's elites had been acc.u.mulating for a long time while on flat land?
Hundreds of Towering Palace members were defeated on the spot.
While they screamed in pain, thousands of Mu Clan members fought on the square, and they forced Towering Palace's forces to retreat one by one.
Even though Clear Music continued shouting orders for her people to stop them and kill them with her face red with rage, it was useless. Right when the group rushed before Mu Clan, they were cut down or knocked away rudely.
Mu Clan fought with a fearlessness toward death!
Regardless of whether it was their strength of equipment, Mu Clan did indeed have the ability to be arrogant and suppress others in a head on fight.
"Useless trash! You have so many people, and yet you can't even stop a group of defeated soldiers!" Clear Music retreated to the rood and watched how Mu Clan quickly took over half of the square. Even she was forced to retreat to the street. She was so angry that she clenched and unfurled her fists several times.
In the crowd, the man with the incomplete silver mask covering his face was the most eye-catching person in the crowd. There were astonishing flames around him, and whenever someone approached him, he will instantly turn into afterimages before he struck viciously at the center of the top of his enemy's skull, chin, throat, center of his c.h.e.s.t, crotch, or joints.
He attacked viciously and resolutely, and all those who approached Silver Wolf were defeated by his dazzling fists. They had their resistance nullified, and they were then killed by the weapons of the people behind them.
Little North was just as fierce in the crowd.
Wherever the foul wind stirred up by his poisonous claws passed through, groups of people will be poisoned and fall to the ground. They will not be able to get up even after a long time had passed.
Feng Zhi protected Silver Wolf's other side. His Six Prideful Chill Technique shone with a bone-chilling saber glare, and it was a direct opposite of the hot palm-generated wind Silver Wolf used to suppress people. When Feng Zhi swung his saber, someone will definitely shudder and freeze.
A group of elites with four-echelon equipment followed behind the trio or their sides, and they were all fierce and matchless.
They were like wild beasts, and the Towering Palace members who stood in front of them as obstacles had never met with such a force before. Almost at the moment they clashed weapons, they will be struck down, and Mu Clan's forces will step on their bodies to move over them, leaving behind footprints on their faces.
"We can't stop them!"
"Damn it!"
"They're too powerful! They're going to rush into the street—"
Pained screams were mixed with shouts from different directions. The square outside Mu Clan had descended into complete chaos. The people from Towering Palace simply could not form any effective resistance against the suddenly and fierce charge. They could only watch as Silver Wolf, Little North, and the others led their people into the street.
But at the moment they rushed into the street, Towering Palace had a chance to catch their breathing.
Countless people jumped to the roof, drew their bows, took aim at the person right in front of Mu Clan's group, and fired.
Thud! Thud!
There were people who were continuously shot down on the street.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of Mu Clan elites were shot, and Mu Clan was in danger!
"Be careful of the people above!
"Have someone get rid of the people on the roofs with me!"
Feng Zhi turned his head around and swung his saber. His sharp saber glare cut through a wave of arrows. Then, he swung his saber, stepped on a beam, and rushed to the roof ahead of others.
Clang! Clang!
But no matter what the Towering Palace members had seized the initiative to attack, and they also had the advantage in terms of terrain. Both sides were soon engaged in a fight on the roof. Their weapons clashed against each other, and it was a very lively scene.
"Don't fight against them for long!
Rush out of Yangzhou City in one go!"
Silver Wolf and Little North led the others to charge forward on the ground.
Feng Zhi led his people to open the path on the road.
The group of people charged fiercely into the street, but before they could even travel 328 feet forward, the restaurant ahead of them suddenly exploded out of the blue, and sharp wood ch.i.p.s shot out. Among them were also countless terrifying sword glares.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
"Grim Green!"
Silver Wolf came to a swift halt. He could sense a profound air from the sword glares, and he also felt threatened by them. His blood red hands quickly intersected with each other in the air, and he struck several blood red palm prints in the air.
Someone jumped down!
It was Grim Green, and he was dressed in green archer gear while he blocked Silver Wolf and the others' path with a dark expression. "Hmph! Do you really think that Yangzhou City is truly such an easy place for you to come and go as you please?!"
"So what if I do think that way?!"
Little North took a step forward and readily charged forward with one long jump. His black, poisonous claws flashed in front of Grim Green's face as quickly as lightning.
Grim Green's expression changed. He did not dare receive that attack head on, and he retreated several feet backward.
At that moment, a sword qi that sliced through the air shot down from above.
Silver Wolf reacted quickly and dragged Little North back by two feet.
Thud!
Right when Little North regained his footing, a finger-shaped hole that was several inches deep was left behind on the ground.
"Six-pulses Divine Sword… Vast Heaven!"
Silver Wolf enunciated his words clearly, and he looked up to watch Vast Heaven jump down from a restaurant.
"Very good. All of Towering Palace's elites are here."
"Just lay still and die, Silver Wolf. You won't be able to run." Vast Heaven's gaze was rather complicated. He had past experiences with Silver Wolf's strength and his composure, and he had a lot of thoughts about it.
He had to admit, but Silver Wolf did indeed live up to his name as a top-class elite in the Chinese world of martial artists.
Not only was he stronger than Vast Heaven, he even managed to last for a period of time without losing when he fought against four Dragon Sect elites.
But unfortunately for him, Mu Clan's members had already been held back.
Dragon Sect's elites had also been revived and rushed to the area. They worked together with the group of elites who caught up from the back, and even if Mu Clan's members had wings on them, it was impossible for them to fly out of Yangzhou!
"Why are you still wasting your breath with him?" Clear Music's cold voice came from a nearby roof. She enunciated her words clearly, and her tone was resolute. "Vice palace masters, you are not to let even a single person from Mu Clan live! Kill them all!"
Right when she finished speaking, Silver Wolf suddenly stomped on the street and jumped on a beam that was nine feet tall!
His body was as light as a sparrow, allowing him to further jump several feet higher into the air from the beam. With a few shifts, he shot past Grim Green and Vast Heaven before he landed on the roof. His arrogant voice was mixed with endless and cold killing intent, and his words traveled into the ears of all those around him loudly and clearly.
"Alright, then even if I have to die here today, I swear, I will kill you, Clear Music!"
A group of Towering Palace members lifted their swords and thrust forward on the roof.
But Silver Wolf just spread his arms and tapped against those weapons with his Scorching Sun Gloves, which were harder than steel. He leapt over those people without having his feet ever touch the roof.
The Towering Palace disciples only felt a black shadow flash past their heads. They did not even have time to do anything else or react to the situation, and they could only watch Silver Wolf rush to where Clear Music was with a shocking speed.
Clear Music was shocked. She subconsciously retreated to avoid Silver Wolf.
*****
Right when he approached Clear Music, Silver Wolf suddenly narrowed his eyes, and he redirected his gaze to the gentle looking middle-aged man who shot out from behind Clear Music!
"You can't touch this woman."
That middle-aged man smiled at him with a nonchalant expression. He was dressed in green, and he held no weapons in his hands, but he gave Silver Wolf and incredibly great threatening feel as well as a sense of danger.
Chapter 757 - Feng Zhi Dies
"You can't touch this woman."
At the moment he heard these words, Silver Wolf's gaze darkened. He turned into a fiery red afterimage who shot past the middle-aged man quickly.
The middle-aged man might seem indifferent, but when Silver Wolf shot past him, his body also suddenly twisted, and he turned into an afterimage that vanished in the howling wind.
Slap!
He felt a tension on his shoulders. Silver Wolf turned around and moved six and a half feet away, but the wind by his ears refused to stop howling. That person's breathing chased after him tightly like a maggot on a corpse.
"When I'm around, I won't let you touch her."
An instant passed, the middle-aged man still blocked Silver Wolf's path. Even though he did not attack, those moves and calm as well as ingenious repositionings and body movements had already revealed the strength only grandmasters had.
This person was even stronger than Drifting Sword from Yangzhou Port!
"Is it?"
Silver Wolf did not become annoyed, even though his path was repeatedly blocked. His expression remained cold. He redirected his gaze and suddenly charged forward to swing his arms in front of him, leaving behind bloody red palm prints all over the air.
The expression of Dragon Sect's vice sect hall instantly became grave.
If this was just a feint, he will naturally have no problem in facing them.
But Silver Wolf was, after all, an elite ranked among the top in the Chinese server. His attacks were all attached with scorching waves that came rolling at him, and all of them depleted his qi and body fortification in an unseen manner.
'As expected of the second strongest from Mu Clan.' When he saw that Silver Wolf's attention had been directed to him, the middle-aged man was forced to become serious. While he retreated, he parried the threat that had suddenly come at him from the palm shadows that pushed forward toward him from all directions.
As the fight went on, in the blink of an eye, they had already exchanged dozens of blows, but no one could best the other.
But Silver Wolf still managed to tell where the middle-aged man learned his techniques.
"Hmph, so you're someone from Bagua Sect. Why didn't you stay in America to gather your wealth, but run to China to cause trouble?"
"...You're pretty knowledgeable."
Silver Wolf's words revealed where the Dragon Sect elites came from. The middle-aged man's expression changed before he quickly recovered. He parried Silver Wolf's swift attacks before he laughed and said, "We're just returning to our roots. Sir, you're pretty good with barehanded combat. You came from the army, yes?"
"Hmph!" Silver Wolf ignored the vice sect master's attempt in trying to get answers from him. When he thought about how Wind Chimes died in these people's hands, the killing intent in his eyes became stronger.
"I'd say that you're really just coming here to stir up trouble."
They refused to stay in America, and right when they came back to the Chinese server, they egged on Towering Palace and Class One Hall to stir up conflict between the four top-class sects in the Chinese server, which led to a war, and this was definitely not what Silver Wolf would call returning to their roots.
The middle-aged man's expression turned slightly cold. "You'd best watch your mouth and try to acc.u.mulate virtue for yourself, young man."
Bang!
&n
bsp; Both parties took a step backwards.
The middle-aged man crushed a tile on the roof before he managed to laboriously negate all the force from the attack. There was a red flush on his face, and his gaze gradually turned fierce.
Even though he was from the army, Silver Wolf's strength and reaction was clearly unlike a retired veteran. Not only did he have an understanding to the skills the middle-aged man used, his movements were also so straightforward that they were terrifying. He showed no signs of hesitation when he moved. He just relied on his instincts, and he had an incredibly wealthy amount of experience in combat. He might have retired from a special force…
"I've changed my mind."
Silver Wolf had already gotten a general gist of the middle-aged man's strength. He might be good and was an experienced fighter with a few years ahead of him to serve as Silver Wolf's senior as well as a great knowledge of the sects, but unfortunately for him, he paid too much attention to only one martial art, and he was too conservative, which was why he ignored the rule of martial arts countering or reinforcing each other in the game.
Coincidentally, Red Flame Palm could counter most fist or kick techniques. If he fought at full strength, Silver Wolf was absolutely certain that he could kill this person after two hundred moves.
He tapped against the ground, and Silver Wolf charged back without hesitation to continue seizing the opportunity to attack.
But unfortunately for him, while Dragon Sect's vice sect master was already at a disadvantage, he was not a stubborn person. He gradually furrowed his eyebrows and released a signal without batting an eyelid so that another Dragon Sect elite could join the fight.
The situation instantly changed!
Silver Wolf's pressure increased by leaps and bounds.
When he saw that it was already very difficult for him to get out of this troublesome situation, Silver Wolf shouted an order to Little North, Feng Zhi, and the rest to increase their speed in breaking out, while at the same time, he fought against Dragon Sect's vice sect master without regard for his life.
