Chapter 174: Kill

Wolf Head Gang headquarters,

The gang leader, Zhao Jin, is a young man of about twenty with a ruthless expression; he is a tough character at the late stage of Strength Refining and is said to be the nephew of Elder Zhao Tai of the Green Bamboo Gang.

At this very moment, facing the Hong Sect members closing in, Zhao Jin summoned his subordinates without showing any weakness.

He arrogantly shouted, "You ignorant fools, what corner did you bumpkins crawl out of, actually dreaming of starting your rise from our Wolf Head Gang? If you've got guts, try it and see how I twist your heads off and kick them around like balls!"

Standing at the front of the ranks was Li Yang.

Honest and steady, he had indeed climbed from the very bottom to his current position step by step, having endured many hardships.

However, having passed all subjects in the Hong Sect Training Camp and achieved first place, he showed no hesitation or nonsense.

Now at the late stage of Strength Refining, Li Yang drew his blade directly, revealed a cold sneer, and provocatively retorted, "Do you think your Wolf Head Gang is something special? I've never even heard of it! I bet your Wolf Head Gang won't survive the night!"

Seeing their Hall Master so resolute and firm, the disciples under Li Yang were instantly fired up, their morale greatly boosted. They craved success and longed to perform meritorious deeds, and Li Yang was the hero and role model in their eyes.

The deeds of Li Yang embodied the spiritual pillar and pursuit of the Yang Hall disciples—believe in the Hong Sect, dare to fight, and as long as one has a breath left, there is a chance to get ahead.

Following Li Yang's order, the Hong Sect disciples were like ignited flames, instantly erupting with astonishing combat power. Their eyes flashed with determination and fanaticism, and every blade and sword contained the resolve to kill.

They brandished the weapons in their hands, the light of blades and shadows of swords interweaving to form an impenetrable line of defense.

As long as someone did not have the character 'Hong' on their chest, the Hong Sect disciples slashed at them without mercy, either hacking at the chest or striking at the neck. Their movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation, as if they had put life and death out of their minds.

Some enemies had their heads chopped off, and fresh blood sprayed from the severed necks, dyeing the surroundings red.

Some enemies had their arms chopped off, and fresh blood flowed from the severed limbs, forming a stream.

The intense battle left behind a pool of crimson blood, and the cold, ruthless scene was hair-raising; the Yang Hall disciples charged and killed without fear, the blood only further stimulating their ruthlessness.

By comparison, although the Wolf Head Gang members were numerous, they began to appear somewhat panicked under this suicidal charge by the Hong Sect.

Zhao Jin stood in the center of the melee, looking at the scene before him, and a sense of anger and unwillingness rose in his heart. He could never have imagined that he, as the nephew of Green Bamboo Gang Elder Zhao Tai, would be so provoked here by an unknown nobody. He felt his dignity had been severely violated, and anger burned within him.

Zhao Jin let out a roar, his figure erupting like an enraged wolf as he lunged straight at Li Yang. His speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Li Yang.

"Li Yang, how dare you be so presumptuous! Today, I, Zhao Jin, will let you know that the Wolf Head Gang is not a place you can trample at will!" His voice was filled with anger and majesty, making people shudder.

Li Yang's mouth curled up, revealing a cold smile; this was the opportunity he had been waiting for. His figure flashed like a ghost, cleverly dodging Zhao Jin's fierce attack while he quickly turned and swung his blade, aiming straight for Zhao Jin's fatal spot.

In an instant, the two were locked in a thrilling battle, with blade light flashing and sword shadows crossing, leaving those around them unable to keep up.

Around this core battle, the disciples of the Hong Sect and the Wolf Head Gang were also engaged in a cruel fight. The air was filled with a thick, bloody scent, and miserable screams and angry curses rang through the sky.

The entire street had turned into a bloody hell. As time passed, both sides began to feel the pressure of casualties.

Although the Wolf Head Gang had many people, the Hong Sect disciples were clearly well-trained and coordinated with each other, gradually gaining the upper hand.

Witnessing the situation, Zhao Jin was anxious, knowing that if things continued this way, the Wolf Head Gang would likely suffer a crushing defeat in this battle.

Just at this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps thundered in, coming from far to near, instantly breaking the original balance of the battlefield.

Everyone looked closely and saw a team wearing the unique attire of the Green Bamboo Gang charging into the battlefield like a whirlwind.

These people held sharp long blades and were aggressive and unstoppable; they were clearly reinforcements coming to support the Wolf Head Gang.

"The Green Bamboo Gang reinforcements are here! Brothers, hold on!" Seeing this, Zhao Jin was instantly invigorated and excited, immediately shouting aloud.

Meanwhile, the Hong Sect disciples felt a bit panicked seeing this sudden turn of events. They never expected the Green Bamboo Gang to choose to intervene at such a critical moment, which undoubtedly made their already difficult situation worse.

However, facing such a severe situation, Li Yang did not retreat a single step. He understood deeply that this battle not only concerned the glory of the Hong Sect but also directly affected his personal status within the Hong Sect and his future destiny.

He closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the turmoil in his heart, then swung his long blade again, charging forward at Zhao Jin without looking back, vowing to carve out a bloody path in this chaotic battle.

Cheng Feng, who was observing the movements of the Green Bamboo Gang from the shadows, made a prompt decision to send an Entry Disciple to inform Wang Hu, who had already withdrawn, to rush over for reinforcements.

Cheng Feng knew that Zhao Jin was a variable, and he could never let Li Yang, who had not yet reached the Skin Refining Realm, face a strong enemy like the Green Bamboo Gang alone.

As a sect leader, one naturally had to be particular about arranging troops; matching soldier against soldier and general against general was what befitted his status.

Moving the combat power from Wang Hu's side was merely a matter of little effort.

In this way, Xu Miao should be the most relaxed and safe; the Zougun Gang was just going through the motions following Wang Hu, and with Cheng Feng looking after things here,

Wu Feng was sent with Zhou Hai to eliminate two small gangs with no background or strength; if there was any news beyond control, people would be sent to inform them, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

Now, it just depends on how the Green Bamboo Gang plans to respond.

Cheng Feng did not want to face the Green Bamboo Gang directly while Wu Feng's strength had not fully recovered.

Doing so would likely increase unnecessary risks.

But Li Yang was also a capable officer of Cheng Feng, especially since Li Yang's performance and the performance of the Yang Hall disciples in this battle could be called brilliant.

Loyal, brave, fearless, and unafraid of death.

This is the Hong Sect disciple of Cheng Feng's ideals!
