Chapter 126

(PS: I discovered that some people still think there is only one update per day, so I'll change the update time; from now on, I will update two chapters directly at 5 PM every day. Besides, my daily update volume of 8000+ is already faster than 90% of the books on Qidian...)

Bang!

Wei Ge was heavily sent flying, crashing through a wall and falling onto a street next door.

At this time, on the main road where both sides were fighting, blood dyed the ground red, corpses were everywhere, warhorses wearing iron armor also lay on the ground, and the stone-paved ground was pitted and had already been smashed into a mess.

A figure passed through the broken wall and came before the fallen Wei Ge.

It was precisely Zhao Yu's Dao Foundation avatar.

The black robe on this avatar had been destroyed, revealing its true appearance—dark skin, bald head, and no hair on its entire body. The face was covered with crimson patterns, looking like snake scales. The eyes were lifeless, the gaze dull.

From the appearance, one could no longer tell at all that this person was once Wang Ping, a registered martial master of the Zhige Academy.

There were also many wounds on this Dao Foundation avatar, but the flesh and blood at these wounds were also dark red, and not a single drop of blood flowed out, as if there were no blood in this body at all!

Wei Ge spat out a mouthful of blood, revealing a look of despair.

In the battle just now, taking advantage of the Spirit-Calming Sorcery disrupting the iron cavalry's charge, this avatar charged directly into the cavalry formation, letting warhorses crash directly into its body, and letting steel blades slash toward it, it didn't dodge or evade, nor did it retreat.

Time and time again, it activated Red Scale Force; the seven- or eight-meter-long red snake danced in the cavalry formation like a flood dragon causing trouble in the sea, and every time it danced, it could send several warhorses flying, thus destroying the iron cavalry's charge with its own strength!

What followed was a chaotic battle; the martial artists and martial masters on horseback could only dismount and fight on foot, while Zhao Yu's Dao Foundation avatar attracted the vast majority of the "firepower."

Wang Ping practiced Red Scale Force; this kind of force itself was not suitable for frontal strong attacks, and Wang Ping's own fighting style was mainly based on guerrilla fighting, but after being refined into an avatar, he was forcibly used by Zhao Yu as a berserker!

Facing any attack, it was head-on; the physical strength displayed by this avatar was even higher than many Dao Foundation stage powerhouses.

And even a Dao Foundation stage powerhouse would get tired, feel pain, and get injured, but Zhao Yu's avatar wouldn't!

As long as Zhao Yu, the controller, was fine, and as long as the 【Corpse Cluster】 within the avatar's body was not destroyed, this avatar could continue fighting even if its head was chopped off!

Such an enemy was undoubtedly terrifying and despair-inducing, and coupled with Zhao Yu leading the Anshen Sect sorcerers to keep casting spells on the side, constantly influencing the will of the city guards, the morale of the city guards completely collapsed after the battle had continued for a while.

Although Wei Ge did not neglect training on weekdays, under Chief Gu Zhenhui's control, this city guard force did not eat empty pay, drink soldier blood, or wantonly beat and scold soldiers, making soldiers help with chores; but this city guard force was ultimately lacking in actual combat experience.

The only large-scale battle the city guards had participated in in recent years was the battle against the Hudao Gang in the Wuguang District last time, and that was a smooth battle, fought without any difficulty.

Now encountering a truly hard battle, the city guards ultimately couldn't hold on.

First, the martial officers began to flee, followed by the ordinary soldiers.

Zhao Yu did not order a pursuit; his target was those martial officers who were martial artists and martial masters. Now, lying on the ground, dead or alive, there were nearly twenty martial officers, which had already achieved his preliminary goal.

Yes, this was only a preliminary goal.

Zhao Yu's next target was the body of a Dao Foundation stage powerhouse!

"Tie up all the martial officers on the ground for me, dead or alive."

Zhao Yu ordered the horse bandits.

Subsequently, he controlled his Dao Foundation avatar to capture Wei Ge, broke the opponent's limbs, dislocated the opponent's jaw, and then tied him up with iron chains.

After clearing the battlefield, Zhao Yu's side also received news passed on by the Hudao Gang:

"Sect Leader Zhao, the Great Dragon Head of Qingyuan Fist Village has just arrived at Anshan Street in the Kaiping District; please bring your people over."

"Oh, so fast? Wasn't it said that the Great Dragon Head was threatened? It looks like the threat didn't succeed."

Zhao Yu looked at the person who came to deliver the message.

In the original plan, it should have been him leading people to kill their way into Qingyuan Fist Village!

The person lowered his head: "Sect Leader Zhao, please hurry!"

Zhao Yu sneered: "What about the people from the Hudao Gang and the Zhige Academy?"

"They are already rushing here!"

"Fine, I know."

Zhao Yu did not delay time and immediately led the large troop to rush toward Anshan Street.

His next target was that Great Dragon Head of Qingyuan Fist Village.

According to the plan made in advance with Yu Hu, today they had to first break the city guards, then behead the Great Dragon Head, and finally go outside the city to kill Hao Yi.

If everything went smoothly, Zhao Yu would obtain the bodies of a large number of martial artists and martial masters, as well as the bodies of two Dao Foundation stage powerhouses.

Only by getting his hands on the mature implants within these people could he continue to strengthen his avatar.

In this world, everything is empty; only one's own strength is the foundation!

"Defeated?!"

Administration Building, General Manager's office, Chief Gu Zhenhui angrily grabbed the secretary by the collar and asked in disbelief:

"My three hundred city guards, well-equipped, well-trained, with dozens of martial artists, and iron cavalry charges, how could they possibly be defeated?!"

"My... my lord, the opponent has a Dao Foundation stage powerhouse sitting in command, one person injured many powerhouses on our side, there is simply no one who can block them!"

The secretary said with a crying voice.

"Dao Foundation stage? How could there possibly be a Dao Foundation stage?!"

Chief Gu Zhenhui's expression turned ashen, and he slumped into his seat.

There was no need to wait for the final result; he knew he had already lost this game.

This great chaos today, if the city guards could defeat the incoming enemy, then everything would still have room for maneuver.

But now that the city guards had suffered a crushing defeat, the nature of this matter was similar to the "Luoshan Incident" back then; even if the Inspection Academy eventually found the lost firearms, the Inspector General at the time, Huang Weiguang, still had to take responsibility and eventually retire early.

Today's matter, a large group of bandits successfully attacking into the city, was directly the fault of the city guards. Afterward, the city guards were actually unable to defeat the bandits and were beaten into a collapse, making the fault even greater.

Chief Gu Zhenhui, as the General Manager, had the city guards directly under him, so the one to take the blame in the end could only be him; he couldn't run away.

Back then, the Hudao Gang made Huang Weiguang retire early; now they were using the same method to target Chief Gu Zhenhui, and afterward, they would also have the opportunity to make Chief Gu Zhenhui step down directly!

That was why Chief Gu Zhenhui was so desperate.

"Ultimately, still defeated..."

This General Manager, who had fought with the Hudao Gang for so many years, sat in his seat and muttered.

Kaiping District, Anshan Street.

Shangguan Xiao arrived here with over a hundred people.

She had managed Qingyuan Fist Village for many years, and under her command were two martial masters, twenty-five Body-Breaking stage martial artists, and over a hundred experienced fist fighters.

This time, she brought all of them.

However, these people mostly had cold weapons; there were over thirty powerful crossbows, and not many firearms.

The smuggling of firearms in Xingcheng had always been firmly controlled by the Hudao Gang; it was very difficult for Qingyuan Fist Village to get guns and ammunition from the black market.

"Great Dragon Head, it has been confirmed that the group of bandits who entered the city is led by Zhao Yu, the leader of the Anshen Sect!"

A subordinate reported to Shangguan Xiao.

Qingyuan Fist Village also had scouts everywhere in the city, so Shangguan Xiao could obtain intelligence in time.

"Anshen Sect?"

Shangguan Xiao was startled, "So that's how it is."

She immediately understood many things.

"Everyone, our goal this time is to eradicate the evil cult villains!"

Shangguan Xiao said sternly.

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

"Shangguan Xiao—"

Just at this moment, a deep voice suddenly came from afar, full of majesty.

A cold light flashed in Shangguan Xiao's eyes, and she turned her head to look in the direction the voice came from:

"Yan Yichen!"

A few seconds later, dozens of figures appeared ahead, and the person leading them was precisely Yan Yichen, the head of the Zhige Academy.

"Qingyuan Fist Village colluded with the evil cult, intending to rebel! As a person of the Zhige Academy, I have the responsibility to eradicate the evil and serve the country with martial arts!"

Yan Yichen pointed at the people of Qingyuan Fist Village ahead and said sternly.

"Eradicate the evil, serve the country with martial arts!"

The elites of the Zhige Academy behind him shouted in unison.

Hearing this sound, Shangguan Xiao's expression was strange, and the people of Qingyuan Fist Village also looked at each other in dismay.

How did it become that they and the evil cult were accomplices, when a second ago the Great Dragon Head was leading them to prepare to eradicate the evil cult?

"Heh, a defeated opponent dares to confuse black and white in front of me?"

Shangguan Xiao sneered and charged directly toward Yan Yichen.

She knew that Qingyuan Fist Village and the Zhige Academy couldn't argue about this kind of thing at all; after all, the Zhige Academy were people of the government, occupying the moral high ground.

Then they could only see the truth in their hands!

Yan Yichen's expression sank; he had indeed lost to Shangguan Xiao last time, but he didn't avoid the battle this time and took the initiative to meet her.

Although he was not the opponent's match, dragging it out for a period of time was no problem.

Two Dao Foundation powerhouses fought together, with great momentum.

The Zhige Academy and Qingyuan Fist Village also began to engage in battle.

Although there were more people on Qingyuan Fist Village's side, the weakest of the Zhige Academy's people were Body-Breaking stage martial artists, so the ones with the upper hand were actually the Zhige Academy!

Seeing this, Shangguan Xiao, relying on her faster movement, while dragging Yan Yichen, could also take action to support her subordinates.

With her strength, targeting those Body-Breaking stage martial artists of the Zhige Academy, she could solve one with a single palm!

Yan Yichen, watching his subordinates being killed by Shangguan Xiao one after another, couldn't help but be furious:

"Yu Hu, still not taking action?!"

As his voice fell, everyone on the scene was shocked.

Had that leader of the Hudao Gang also come?

"Hahahahaha—"

Following a loud laugh, a figure leaped from behind a building, surrounded by frost, and killed his way toward Shangguan Xiao with astonishing momentum.

Dao Foundation stage powerhouse Yu Hu, joined the battle!

With Yu Hu's arrival, the elites of the Hudao Gang also joined the battle.

These people had been attacked by the secret agents of the Inspection Academy along the way and had suffered some losses, but joining forces with the elites of the Zhige Academy, they were immediately in an absolute upper hand, suppressing the people of Qingyuan Fist Village!

"The Hudao Gang assists the Zhige Academy in eradicating the evil, serving the country with martial arts!"

Yu Hu roared loudly while attacking Shangguan Xiao.

Fearing that his voice wasn't loud enough, he even specifically used force to let his voice spread far away.

"Kill, serve the country with martial arts!"

The members of the Hudao Gang also followed their own leader and shouted the slogan loudly.

"Shangguan Xiao, you colluded with the Anshen Sect, you deserve to die; today is your death day!"

Yu Hu roared and struck Shangguan Xiao with the high-grade force, Cold Sha Drifting Snow Force.

With his addition, Shangguan Xiao's pressure increased greatly, and she no longer had the energy to help her subordinates.

If she fought Yu Hu one-on-one, the outcome would be fifty-fifty, but adding an Yan Yichen on the side, she was immediately at a disadvantage.

"Senior Brother should have already received the news; just drag it out until he returns."

Facing the dangerous situation, Shangguan Xiao remained very calm.

She knew very well how fast Hao Yi's speed was after full exertion, so she didn't think she would definitely lose today.

However, not long after they started fighting, another powerful aura rushed toward this side:

"The Anshen Sect has arrived, you all stop being arrogant!"

It was Zhao Yu controlling his Dao Foundation avatar while rushing toward this side at full speed, roaring loudly with force:

"Great Dragon Head, I have come to assist you—"

Saying this, the Dao Foundation avatar killed its way into the crowd, rushing toward the place where the three Dao Foundation stage powerhouses were fighting.

The next second, a red snake was struck out by him, forcing back Yu Hu and Yan Yichen.

Another Dao Foundation stage powerhouse?!

Such momentum made everyone on the scene see the strength of the newcomer, clearly another Dao Foundation stage.

In this way, Shangguan Xiao, Yu Hu, Yan Yichen, plus this Anshen Sect powerhouse who had just arrived.

In this battle today, there were actually four Dao Foundation stage powerhouses participating!

Shangguan Xiao was still wondering why the city guards hadn't blocked the Anshen Sect's troop, actually letting the other side kill their way over so quickly.

Now seeing this Dao Foundation stage powerhouse who suddenly popped out, she finally understood what Yu Hu's trump card was.

After Zhao Yu's Dao Foundation avatar forced back Yu Hu and Yan Yichen with one move, it immediately charged toward Shangguan Xiao, looking as if it intended to rendezvous with Shangguan Xiao.

But how would Shangguan Xiao dare to really let the other side get close to her?

She struck out with a palm directly.

Slap—

The Dao Foundation avatar didn't dodge or evade, taking this palm from Shangguan Xiao head-on, and was beaten until it flew backward.

"Shangguan Xiao, you dare to betray this seat?!"

Zhao Yu controlled the Dao Foundation avatar to point at Shangguan Xiao and roar loudly.

After saying this, the Dao Foundation avatar charged toward Shangguan Xiao again; this time it could directly kill her!

"Ha?"

Shangguan Xiao was angered to laughter by this clumsy scene in front of her.

This was the script Yu Hu arranged?

Qingyuan Fist Village colluded with the Anshen Sect, but then the two sides had an internal conflict; the Hudao Gang assisted the Zhige Academy in taking the opportunity to eradicate the evil and protect Xingcheng, serving the country with martial arts!

As for Hao Yi, as Shangguan Xiao's Senior Brother, he was naturally an accomplice, and it was only natural for him to be killed.

"Yu Hu, with Zhang Mingze dead, your methods are really getting stiffer and stiffer, making people laugh."

Shangguan Xiao sneered while trading a palm with the Dao Foundation avatar.

"Methods are not important; the result is most important."

Yu Hu was surrounded by frost, shrouding Shangguan Xiao in ice and snow:

"After you die, you can slowly laugh with your Senior Brother below, laugh together!"

On the other side, Yan Yichen, holding a long sword condensed from Gold-Stone force, stabbed out, tearing a wound on Shangguan Xiao's body.

Three Dao Foundation powerhouses besieged Shangguan Xiao!

On the other side, the Green-Faced Ghost was carrying "Li Fei" and rushing toward this side...

Let me say again, tomorrow's update is at 5 PM, two chapters updated together.
