Chapter 75: A Piercing Cloud Arrow, Ten Thousand Soldiers and Horses Come to Meet!

~8 min read 1,452 words

Zhang Cheng shook off the pursuit of Fukada Yoshiko, fled directly back to the villa, and immediately activated the Golden Steel Array.

The Nine Chrysanthemum Society members who arrived afterward had no way to break the array; Fukada Yoshiko, who had chased after him, stepped forward to test it, shook her head, and said, "Without wasting some time, I'm afraid it cannot be broken."

Takanashi Yasu stepped forward and said, "Master, news has come from headquarters that the Americans are applying pressure; we must retreat."

Fukada Yoshiko secretly thought it a pity and immediately ordered her subordinates to retreat.

Soon, the patrolmen from the American Concession arrived, and Steve hurriedly shouted, "Mr. Zhang, are you alright!"

Seeing Steve, Zhang Cheng felt a weight lift from his heart and immediately walked out, saying, "Mr. Steve, I am fine. Thank you very much for arriving in time."

Steve laughed and said, "It's nothing, after all, you and I are friends."

Zhang Cheng exchanged pleasantries with Steve, then took out some US dollars and handed them to the patrol captain, inviting them to have some tea.

Once Steve and the others left, Zhang Cheng's expression was extremely ugly.

He had been backstabbed this time, and it was his own people colluding with the Japanese pirates!

Ximen Lang must have known the news, but he did not say anything, which shows that those people behind the scenes are capable of suppressing the Renaissance Society.

The person capable of making the Renaissance Society wary is likely one of the Four Great Tycoons of the world.

He did not remember offending anyone?

He immediately spread his fingers to calculate and said irritably, "Damn it, why is it a rotten peach blossom!"

It seems that Chen Yuhe is the one who made a move; this matter is not over!

The most important thing now is to rescue Mitaro.

Zhang Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, you rely on numbers to bully the few, right? Just you wait!"

He immediately took out a Eight Trigrams Mirror to cast a spell and said, "Master, save me!"

Far away on Mount Luofu, Daoist Jinbao received Zhang Cheng's distress signal, immediately opened his eyes to calculate, and shouted, "How bold, to dare bully my disciple, do you think my Maoshan has no one?"

"A-Jian!"

Shi Jian quickly arrived, entered the room, and bowed, saying, "Master."

Daoist Jinbao immediately said, "You are to immediately summon all junior brothers who can leave Guangdong Province and head to Shanghai to lend your junior brother a hand. I shall go ahead first."

Shi Jian immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Master."

The current Shi Jian had lost his previous arrogance; he immediately followed Daoist Jinbao's orders and cast a spell to notify all his junior brothers.

Uncle Nine, inside the Ren Family Town Manor for the Dead, also received the notification. Lin Jiuying said to Zhe Gu, "Someone must look after the manor here; you stay, and I will go to Shanghai with the senior brother."

Zhe Gu stared at Uncle Nine and said, "You must not let some vixen in Shanghai hook your soul."

Uncle Nine said irritably, "What are you thinking? I am going to help A-Sheng."

Qiusheng and Wencai happened to return, and Qiusheng asked, "Master, why did I hear you call the junior uncle's name?"

Uncle Nine said, "Your junior uncle has encountered trouble in Shanghai, and I must go help."

Qiusheng's eyes lit up and he said, "Master, take me to Shanghai!"

Wencai also crowded forward, smiling and saying, "Master, I want to go too."

Uncle Nine thought for a moment and said, "Qiusheng, you go talk to your aunt; if she agrees, I will take you. As for Wencai, stay at the manor."

Wencai immediately sat to the side with a bitter face.

Qiusheng hurriedly comforted him, "Wencai, don't worry, when I return from Shanghai, I will bring you a gift."

Wencai said irritably, "Go, go, go, who cares about your gift."

Uncle Nine shook his head helplessly, packed his gear, and went to Ren Family Town with Qiusheng.

When the aunt learned that Qiusheng was going to Shanghai, although she was a bit worried, she felt that letting her nephew see the prosperous world was a good thing, so she agreed.

That very day, Uncle Nine took Qiusheng to Guangzhou and boarded a train to Shanghai.

After sending the distress signal, Zhang Cheng put away the Eight Trigrams Mirror, then went outside and cautiously scouted in all directions.

He discovered that people from the Nine Chrysanthemum Sect were still watching in the shadows, so he had no choice but to retreat back to the villa.

But thinking that Mitaro was still in danger, he had to find a way.

He saw the Five Elements Evasion Technique that his master had taught him, which he had not yet studied.

Zhang Cheng immediately took out the Five Elements Evasion Technique and spent an hour practicing the basics.

"Five Elements Evasion Technique" Lv0 (10/10) → Lv1 (0/100)

Although he had only mastered the basics of the evasion technique, fortunately, his magic power was sufficient. He immediately activated Earth Evasion, tunneled directly underground, and proceeded through the earth at a speed of fifty meters per second.

Zhang Cheng's face showed joy, and he immediately sensed Mitaro's location. A few dozen minutes later, he arrived beneath Mitaro.

Mitaro had already been holding on for nearly two hours.

Li Feng, who was ambushing Mitaro, also grew anxious. He immediately ordered ten of the men in ambush to reveal themselves and join the ranks of those breaking the array.

Mitaro was greatly alarmed and secretly thought: It's over, this is the end!

"Boom!"

The shield Mitaro had created using magic arrows was shattered.

Li Feng laughed loudly, "Hahaha, you Kappa are really courting death. Did you really think I had no way to break your shield?"

Mitaro said angrily, "Despicable! If you have the ability, fight me one-on-one!"

Li Feng sneered, "Less nonsense! Surrender now, and I might spare your life!"

Mitaro shouted, "Don't even think about it! Even if you kill me, my master will not let you off!"

"Courting death!" A Daoist was enraged and immediately attacked.

"Boom!"

Zhang Cheng broke through the earth and shouted, "How bold! Do you think my Maoshan has no one!"

Although Li Feng was somewhat surprised, he quickly steadied his mind and shouted, "Brothers, all together! Kill him, and no one will know we did this!"

A group of hidden heterodox practitioners rushed out one after another, directly surrounding Zhang Cheng and Mitaro.

Mitaro said with reddened eyes, "My lord, it is I who have tired you out!"

Zhang Cheng waved his hand and said, "This cannot be blamed on you; it is I who did not expect that someone would be so determined to kill me."

He looked at Li Feng and the others, saying, "You don't think that having more people means you are guaranteed to win, do you? If so, you know nothing of true power!"

"Swiftly, as if by law!"

Zhang Cheng raised a hand and struck out with the Five Thunders Curse, calling down dozens of heavenly lightning bolts within a radius of one hundred meters.

The group of heterodox practitioners hurriedly dodged, while those with weak magic power could only control their puppets to block the lightning for themselves.

Zhang Cheng shouted, "Mitaro, find an opportunity and clear out those small fry!"

Mitaro had long since seen that some of the heterodox practitioners were injured, so he immediately charged out and ambushed one of them.

"Killed one heterodox practitioner, gained one thousand merit."

"Killed one heterodox practitioner, gained one thousand merit."

In the blink of an eye, several heterodox practitioners were killed.

Li Feng was greatly alarmed and hurriedly spat out a mouthful of essence blood to summon the paper doll he controlled.

Trapped inside this paper doll was a female vengeful ghost born in the yin year, yin month, and yin hour.

"Go! Kill him!"

The paper doll immediately flew forward and swung out two streams of yin energy.

Zhang Cheng immediately swung his sword, breaking through the paper doll's yin energy and destroying the paper doll's body with one strike; the vengeful ghost inside broke free and charged straight at Zhang Cheng's face.

Zhang Cheng was not the least bit panicked; he opened his mouth and spat out Samadhi True Fire, burning the vengeful ghost until its soul scattered.

"Ah!"

Li Feng let out a miserable shriek, his face turned deathly pale, and he was defeated.

Knowing he could not kill Zhang Cheng, he dared not stay any longer; he abandoned the others and ran away by himself.
