(Please Subscribe)_2 There were a full nine Fifth Grade combat powers and over thirty Sixth Grade lurking within Water Fortress.
Once a person had stepped into the fortress, there was no hope of escaping alive!
The Gang Leader just needed to wait patiently, at most 15 minutes, and Chu Xisheng would surely be heading to his death,”
This place was nothing like Taishan County.
Taishan County’s terrain was complex, and Chu Xisheng had maneuvered guerrilla warfare inside, like a slippery fish that never allowed them to encircle him.
But today, Chu Xisheng had nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.
What Long Heng regretted was that Sikong Chan wasn’t sure if Chu Xisheng would come, so he hadn’t gambled more here.
Lang Tianzhong’s strength, of course, was beyond doubt—a True Disciple of a First Grade Sect, all possessing Fourth Grade cultivation.
And the True Inheritors of the Great Sect’s Fourth Grade were also far superior to those Fourth Grade Loose Cultivators from minor sects.
Before he was severely injured by Hidden Blade Jian Cangfeng, Li Daogui was extraordinarily renowned in East State, a combatant whose prowess rivaled that of Fourth Grades, nearly reaching the notoriety of the Iron Madman.
And Sikong Chan’s Chief Housekeeper Sikong Pan was there too.
This man had originally been one of the river and sea bandits, later converted by Sikong Chan to abandon evil and submit himself as a servant to the Shangguan family.
This was also a man of Fifth Grade Upper cultivation, whose strength was comparable to Shangguan Shen Hao, and he was an able right hand to Sikong Chan.
As for Fifth Grade Gold Token Shan Zilong from Killing Tower, this man hailed from Lin State and had clashed with Eight-Armed Vajra Sword Bu Yancheng in a bout said to have lasted over a hundred rounds half a year ago, ending inconclusively!
Lin Shi snorted lightly, his voice slightly stiff.
Deep within his eyes, there was also a hint of vexation.
Long Heng’s words were clearly intended to soothe the fear within his heart.
Grinding his teeth, his face showing a shade of green, he said, “Chu Xisheng is bound to die, why state the obvious?”
In that instant, Lin Shi’s pupils suddenly contracted to pinpoints as he witnessed an incredible sight.
At this moment, Chu Xisheng had fallen into the encirclement of four Fifth Grade masters.
He recognized two of them, one being ‘Ghost Shadow Blade’ Lv Han and the other a former Chief House General of the Shangguan family, Xi Quan.
Though Chu Xisheng hadn’t met the other two, he had heard of their names.
One was the Fifth Grade Gold Token ‘Wolf Sword’ Ren Zhong from Killing Tower, and the other was the Fifth Grade Silver Token ‘Earth Light Saber’ Wo Zhengchen.
Most assassins from Killing Tower preferred to act incognito, showing only glimpses of themselves; yet some did not hesitate to reveal their identities, thus becoming quite renowned.
These two men were among the more famous in Killing Tower.
Following closely behind Chu Xisheng, ‘Eight-Armed Vajra Sword’ Bu Yancheng snorted coldly as his figure suddenly accelerated, producing multiple afterimages, planning to reach the front of Chu Xisheng to confront these four men.
But before he had covered half the distance, a blade light like purple lightning struck, cutting off his path midway.
“Purple Lightning Blade, Shan Zilong?”
Bu Yancheng inwardly cursed his bad luck, pondering that Sikong Chan and Xiushui county’s aristocrats must really be wealthy, to even hire someone of Shan Zilong’s caliber.
The bounty of 3 million demon silver hanging in Killing Tower wasn’t enough to lure someone of Shan Zilong’s level from thousands of miles away in the neighboring state to Xiushui County.
Sikong Chan must have additionally offered a large sum of silver coins to invite Shan Zilong here.
At this moment, in Xiushui, there were possibly many more out-of-state Fifth Grades like Shan Zilong, whose status was similar.
If not for the Iron Banner Gang having many mysterious masters to hold the fort, they would have long been vanquished under Sikong Chan’s relentless financial onslaught, regardless of the cost.
Bu Yancheng then simultaneously unfolded eight Eight-sided Han Swords, clashing and slashing against the purple electric blade.
Using eight swords at once, his striking frequency nearly crushed any of the same rank.
Yet facing Purple Lightning Blade Shan Zilong with eight arms, he barely held any advantage.
On the other side, only a single purple blade was needed, its speed easily matched Bu Yancheng’s eight arms, but fell half a step behind in strength, forced to retreat step by step by Bu Yancheng’s slashes.
While Shan Zilong was no match for him, he was enough to impede him for a moment, unable to aid Chu Xisheng.
However, Bu Yancheng showed no concern.
By Chu Xisheng’s side was Bai Xiaozhao, and underwater were Heluo Fish Zombies lurking nearby.
That Five-tailed Wind Beast was not an easy opponent, nor was the Heluo Fish Zombie any less formidable.
There was also Chu Xisheng.
Before entering Water Fortress, the aura of the Young Flag Master had undergone a shocking transformation.
The overwhelming ‘Vengeful Blade Intent’ also left Bu Yancheng exceedingly apprehensive.
He held anticipation within his heart.
Chu Xisheng had said, in this world, no one had ever seen his fastest, most powerful blade.
Would he be able to witness it today?
As Bu Yancheng was impeded by the Purple Lightning Blade, his mind filled with miscellaneous thoughts, Chu Xisheng seemed to have fallen into a desperate situation!
Heluo Fish tentacles surrounded him, but in an instant, the four individuals slashed them, unable to protect Chu Xisheng’s body anymore.
Xi Quan’s pupils dilated slightly, revealing a trace of delight.
The young man before him had lost his shield and was without any help.
Only the Five-tailed Wind Beast standing atop Chu Xisheng remained a threat.
The problem was that this Five-tailed Wind Beast was only of Sixth Grade Upper cultivation.
Its combat power, no matter how formidable, could not take on the four of them at once.
Xi Quan felt that they needed only to strike together to take Chu Xisheng’s life.
Could it be that easy?
Would the widely known Young Flag Master of Iron Banner, whose forces had swept through half of Xiushui County, fall here?
