Chapter 566: Cheng Long's Defense Battle

The movie is correct.

The gunfight scene is very chaotic.

The glass and the door didn't hold back the Sumiyoshi Association people for long.

Soon, the glass shattered.

The guards at the entrance, under the attack of lime and chili powder, also began to retreat step by step.

Although the bodyguards had simple gas masks.

But they couldn't stop the lime from affecting their vision.

The Sumiyoshi Association people, Liu Ru Yan, and the Changcheng people eventually engaged in close combat.

The Changcheng people reacted quickly; they swiftly fired tear gas and threw it at the crowd behind the Sumiyoshi Association.

Then they picked up electric batons and stabbed, instantly knocking down a group.

Several people took the opportunity, took out finger locks, and locked each person lying on the ground one by one.

The finger locks are small, only locking fingers, so one person can carry ten.

Five Changcheng people, working in sync, used electric batons and finger locks—shocking several at a time, locking several at a time.

They waited until the electric batons ran out of power, then they took out riot batons, and under the protection of riot shields, they swung desperately, not caring about vital spots; if someone died from the beating, it was just their bad luck.

The two remaining bodyguards, one protected Liu Ru Yan, the other protected Cheng Long.

Cheng Long was blocked by the bodyguard, and he was extremely anxious.

"Big brother, move aside, you didn't hear the madam's words—I need to go get beaten."

The bodyguard holding a gun was also helpless.

Holding a gun makes it inconvenient for him to engage in close combat.

But Cheng Long still had to go get beaten, as the madam ordered, and he couldn't oppose it.

"Then you must be careful, try not to block my view—I'll clear the deadly dangers for you."

He had been guarding against the gunmen across from him, and now he also had to protect Cheng Long; he was really exhausted.

(At this time, the Japanese yakuza were lawless, not only having guns but even cannons, and they had once clashed with the Japanese police.)

Seeing him relent, Cheng Long quickly nodded.

"Okay, okay, I've also been in plenty of fights—you can relax."

Afterwards he grabbed the bodyguard's stick and rushed over.

Cheng Long joined the battlefield, and Liu Ru Yan couldn't stay idle.

She somehow found a stick over two meters long and also rushed onto the battlefield.

Sticks flew down, and the sound of breaking bones was incessant.

Zhuyou Jiantai was originally full of confidence; this time he could surely cripple Cheng Long.

As for killing him, he didn't dare.

The power of Azure Rainbow Media's Sumiyoshi Association was also known; although a strong dragon doesn't overwhelm the local snake, wealthy people have many shameless tactics—having offended the Yang Clan and the Sumiyoshi Association, there would surely be endless trouble ahead.

Therefore, this operation was to injure people in the name of revenge, but not to kill them.

This is also why he didn't use weapons.

Seeing that the other side hadn't used weapons, the Changcheng side also exercised restraint.

Up to now, no guns had been fired, which made Zhuyou Jiantai much bolder.

"Charge, grab that Chinese person for me."

The five Changcheng people plus Cheng Long, upon hearing that, instantly felt their qi and blood surge.

The fight became even fiercer.

Cheng Long was also full of anger at this point; I came here happily for the roadshow, and you guys pulled this stunt on me.

I had already been holding back, yet you dare to frame me for murder and want my life.

Even a clay figure has three points of fire.

He was a bit hot-headed and actually charged into the crowd.

Liu Ru Yan also cursed silently.

"You idiot, I let you get beaten, not get yourself killed."

Having no choice, she could only hold the stick and guard the rear.

After a while of fighting, Cheng Long's head was split and bleeding, and he also had several knife wounds on his body.

Fortunately, they were not fatal.

Liu Ru Yan was startled by such a reckless brute.

After driving back the crowd with a stick, she kicked Cheng Long away with one foot.

By then, Zhuyou Jiantai had already rushed to Liu Ru Yan's front; there was no way, as Liu Ru Yan's people had placed too many obstacles.

Originally his target was Cheng Long, but Cheng Long had been kicked away.

Seeing Zhuyou Jiantai, Liu Ru Yan flared with anger and lashed out with a stick at him.

"Sumiyoshi Association, you dare to offend this lady; today you won't be walking out of here."

Zhuyou Jiantai raised his knife to block; who knew this stick was actually steel‑capped.

One strike, and the knife in Zhuyou Jiantai's hand flew away.

He felt a great chill in his heart and kept retreating.

But Liu Ru Yan didn't give him a chance; one stick after another came faster, and soon his arm and leg were broken.

"Spare my life, spare my life, heroine, spare my life—any more hits and I'll die."

By this point, Liu Ru Yan and her group had already used the terrain to their advantage, knocking down most of the Sumiyoshi Association people.

Great Wall Security's people, moreover, have outstanding achievements.

They wear bomb‑proof suits and various anti‑explosion gear.

And they cooperate tacitly; the speed at which they harvest people is astonishing.

The five of them almost took down more than thirty opponents.

If not for stamina lagging, they could fight for a whole day.

At this moment, the police arrived tardily.

Zhu You Jianta, seeing this, let out a sigh of relief and saved his life.

The people from the Zhu Yi Association who were providing mid‑way support were caught squarely by the Helun Association, and then a police car blocked their route.

The members at the Zhu Yi Association headquarters were blocked inside the door by the heavily armed Helun Association and dared not emerge.

When the police arrived, the Helun Association's weapons vanished in an instant.

The situation stabilized, and Cheng Long was taken to the hospital.

He was protected jointly by the police, the Helun Association, and Great Wall Security.

The terminally ill husband, after seeing Zhu You Jianta in the hospital, wore a sullen expression as if rain were about to fall.

Capturing Cheng Long and forcing him to admit that he was the one who killed Ri Ye Guang became a crucial part of their plan.

While Cheng Long was in their hands, during negotiations they could also secure more Benefit.

Now there is nothing left.

Originally they had prepared that if Cheng Long turned out to be rather useless, they would kill or maim him—dueling, they said, which is a very normal occurrence.

Later they would promote it again, Chinese kung fu would be all show, and War God Code would certainly become obsolete.

As a result, Ri Ye Guang was knocked out, actually by a single punch; not only was it humiliating to the extreme, it even boosted the reputation of Immortal Gods Code and Cheng Long.

So they tried to frame Cheng Long, claiming he had killed someone.

The outcome is exactly the current situation.

"Immediately launch a public‑opinion campaign."

"Just say Cheng Long killed someone; we demand an explanation from him, and he also injured and maimed over a hundred of us."

"Go to the police department, slip some money, arrange for some reporters to come and take photos—the more tragic, the better."

Conspiracies are never solitary; they come in strings.

Liu Ru Yan feels she should tell Yang Qing about the matter.

After all, Immortal Gods Code is extremely important; it is expected to bring Azure Rainbow Media a box office of over a billion US dollars.

The revenue involved amounts to seven to eight hundred million US dollars.

And she always feels the situation won't be that simple.

Da Cang and the Zhu Yi Association are too audacious.

A declining conglomerate and a triad, opposing someone like Yang Qing, who wields huge influence in East Asia, just doesn't add up.

Their modest life has been decent; now they're indeed impressive, but not to the point of such swelling.

And why would they target Cheng Long when they have no Benefit conflict?

Their target is likely Immortal Gods Code; thinking further, it probably aims at Azure Rainbow Media.

Only a giant like Azure Rainbow Media could provoke such scheming.
