Chapter 222: Dominating The Battlefield
“If you insist, I can let you go find Hei Jinbao and exchange a couple of moves first.”
The Crow Leader decisively retreated half a step, adopting a posture of concession.
There was no helping it; in this melee, the Crow faction was actually the one with the most severe losses.
After all, compared to others, the other top factions could replenish their personnel far too easily.
Chikan Bay lacked everything except thugs who wanted to join gangs.
But the Crow had very high requirements for members; only Xiantian Martial Artists were qualified to join.
This led to the Crow needing a lot of time to replenish personnel, and also relying on luck.
Before the melee started, the Crow faction, including the Crow Leader, had a total of thirteen people.
After one night, the remaining members barely numbered over half, and it would probably take a year and a half to recover.
Based on this, the Crow Leader couldn’t help but feel the intent to retreat, and lost interest in continuing to tangle with Noah Zoro.
“Hmph, want to escape?”
How could Noah Zoro agree? He immediately withdrew his gaze from Hei Jinbao’s side and refocused all his attention on the Crow Leader in front of him: “Not that easy.”
At that moment, a cadre wearing the Noah Party’s signature newsboy cap suddenly rushed over.
He anxiously reported: “Boss, there’s no news from Brother Xilang!”
In front of the Crow Leader, Noah Zoro wouldn’t show too much anxiety and calmly inquired: “What was the last message Xilang sent back?”
“He seemed to say that another new faction has joined the battle.”
Noah Zoro frowned slightly: “Nanxing Association, Jin Family Gang, Crow, and Wild Tiger Hall have all arrived. Which faction in Chikan Bay dares to enter the fray at this time?”
The Xilang they were discussing was a cadre of the Noah Party. Though he only had Houtian Martial Artist cultivation, there were certainly no shortage of people in Chikan Bay who could deal with him.
But one still had to look at the master when beating a dog.
Besides these top factions, who else would dare to attack Noah Party members?
Were they not afraid of the bloody revenge afterward?
The reporting cadre quickly said: “We don’t know who did it yet, but Brother Sack has already taken men over.”
“Sack? The only one in your Noah Party with hope of becoming a Grandmaster?”
The Crow emphasized an elite system, so the Crow Leader naturally knew all the Xiantian Martial Artists in Chikan Bay like the back of his hand.
“Oh God, Higgins, did you hear? Even this Crow Leader knows your Brother Sack’s name.”
Noah Zoro exaggeratedly showed a shocked expression.
The cadre named Higgins cooperatively gave an affirmative reply: “Brother Sack absolutely won’t betray the Noah Party.”
Noah Zoro was delighted and glanced sideways at the Crow: “You heard that, right? I advise you…”
He had only spoken halfway when a torrent of shouting and killing suddenly came from the distance.
And as time passed, this shouting grew from far to near.
Immediately after, both confronting sides, including the nearby factions engaged in melee, all noticed this group of uninvited guests.
Because the number of these uninvited guests was simply too exaggerated.
As the saying goes, with ten thousand people, there is no end in sight.
A force of several thousand was about enough to use that description.
They watched as the crowd surged out from streets, alley entrances, residential building windows, and various positions, the dense numbers making one’s eyes dizzy.
In almost the blink of an eye, a vast sea of heads filled the field of vision.
“This… which faction is this?!”
Noah Zoro didn’t understand, but he was greatly shocked and couldn’t help blurting it out.
Besides those top few, where in Chikan Bay was there a faction of such massive scale?
Most importantly, the direction this group came from was exactly the direction guarded by Xilang and Sack.
Xilang aside, but even a Half-step Grandmaster like Sack having issues meant this mysteriously appearing faction was not lacking in high-end combat power.
“How is that possible?”
The Crow Leader also couldn’t help frowning.
Excluding Zhonglouba where the Dao Sect was located, the whole of Chikan Bay had been divided up by several top factions. Where were there spare resources to nurture a force of this level?
No matter how hard those present found it to believe, it couldn’t change the fact before their eyes.
Noah Zoro turned back and exchanged a glance with the Crow Leader.
Instantly understanding each other’s idea—join forces to resolve these uninvited guests first.
Veteran top factions fighting to the death among themselves was no problem, but for a strange faction like this to dare emerge and pick the peaches, don’t blame us for joining forces to suppress you.
The two Grandmaster Martial Artists almost simultaneously charged upstream against the tide of people.
In an instant, it was as if two nuclear bombs had been dropped into the All Villains ranks, with dozens of figures blasted into the sky by ferocious power.
The terrifying performance of the two Grandmasters was like a heavy blow, instantly halting the massive momentum.
To put it bluntly, this newly formed All Villains organization was less a major faction and more a loose alliance with no loyalty whatsoever.
They rode the momentum when winning, but when losing, who knew friend from foe.
In the blink of an eye, quite a few All Villains members began howling and fleeing in the opposite direction.
This even swept up those originally planning to charge forward, and a major rout was about to form.
Noah Zoro and the Crow Leader were both somewhat stunned.
Because this was just too easy; they hadn’t even felt much resistance.
It was almost like a shepherd driving sheep—feeling no different from beating sandbags.
Even knowing full well these thugs could only bolster momentum and not be counted on for deadly force, performing this poorly was still overly absurd.
Dao Zheng Mu and Xiao Fengze, however, felt no surprise at all.
Dao Zheng Mu even shouted from the side before the crowd routed: “Little Friend Xiao, one each?”
Xiao Fengze turned his head to glance at the old man and lightly nodded his head: “That’s exactly my intent.”
Immediately after, the two respectively charged toward two points of chaos.
Watching them depart, Lu Bai thoughtfully said: “What do you think, how should this be improved?”
Xiao Xueyin thought for a moment and said: “Leave it to me after it’s over. Not saying train everyone to be fearless of death, but at least not collapse at the first touch.”
Their conversation in the current situation seemed exceptionally calm, like outsiders.
In the crowd, Noah Zoro and the Crow Leader were slaughtering all around them, with pleas for mercy and wails unceasing.
Noah Zoro spun and delivered a whiplash kick, sweeping down a swath, then stomped heavily, shaking dozens more into the air.
Meanwhile, the Crow Leader’s performance was no less impressive.
The two Grandmaster Martial Artists were completely dominating the crowd.
Until…
Bang! Bang!
Two consecutive muffled thuds, with visible semi-transparent power ripples diffusing outward.
Dao Zheng Mu single-handedly blocked the Crow Leader’s whiplash kick: “That’s enough.”
Noah Zoro’s straight punch was also blocked by Xiao Fengze’s straight punch at the same angle, wearing boxing gloves.
“Noah Zoro, right? Don’t worry, I won’t waste too much of your time.”
