Chapter 223: Gathering Together
“Xiao Fengze?”
Noah Zoro’s gaze sharpened: “What the hell are you up to?”
Everyone mixes in Chikan Bay, and everyone knows exactly which Grandmaster Martial Artists there are in the bay.
Even if Xiao Fengze usually keeps a low profile, martial artists of the same level all know him.
Based on this, Noah Zoro’s first reaction was to think that All Villains was a new organization created by Xiao Fengze.
“Cut the crap!”
Xiao Fengze clearly didn’t want to dwell on this issue, leaving no room for retreat, and swiftly swung his fist.
“Heh, although I don’t know exactly what you’ve come up with, have you forgotten why you’ve been holed up in that club of yours all this time?”
Noah Zoro countered with a fist, blocking Xiao Fengze’s full-force punch.
The terrifying power directly caused cracks to appear on the ground where they stood.
“Because you’re too weak.”
After finishing his mocking words, Noah Zoro immediately countered, his palm and fingers like knives, striking continuously.
Xiao Fengze responded with both fists, but regrettably, among Grandmaster Martial Artists in this realm, he was indeed on the weaker side.
In his perception, every strike from Noah Zoro was as heavy as a mountain.
After merely resisting for a moment, he began to feel the strain.
Besides Xiao Fengze clearly falling behind, the situation on Dao Zheng Mu’s side was also not optimistic.
After all, he was old and frail, plus still recovering from serious injuries.
The battle between Dao Zheng Mu and the Crow Leader was precarious from the start, as if defeat could come at any moment.
All the surrounding All Villains members changed color, tensely watching the situation develop.
But what left them dumbfounded was yet to come.
With a deafening explosion, Hei Jinbao and Shi San Yao also landed nearby one after the other.
These two hadn’t come specifically upon hearing the movement; it was purely that the battle was too intense and they happened to land at the scene.
They just hadn’t expected to see such a situation, so the two immediately stopped in tacit understanding.
Shi San Yao’s gaze briefly lingered on Dao Zheng Mu and Xiao Fengze before quickly shifting away.
He scanned the crowd and finally settled on Brother Lu Bai.
He laughed loudly: “Brother Lu Bai, it’s you.”
“It’s me.”
Brother Lu Bai nodded.
“Making such a big commotion, could it be that you also have ideas about the leader position?”
Shi San Yao deliberately raised his voice, trying to ensure everyone nearby could hear.
Hei Jinbao gave Shi San Yao a strange look: “What nonsense are you spouting? That kid doesn’t have that kind of strength.”
They both knew that Brother Lu Bai had struggled greatly to deal with a Houtian Martial Artist in the nightclub.
Even if Hei Jinbao admitted Brother Lu Bai had some strange means, he didn’t think Brother Lu Bai would be any trouble.
It had only been a week; how much change could there be?
Shi San Yao glanced sideways at Hei Jinbao.
“Gathering thousands of people, including two Grandmasters, that’s no small faction. When did you, Hei Jinbao, get so arrogant?”
“Oh? Two Grandmasters?”
Hei Jinbao looked toward the two battle positions; he could recognize all four combatants.
Xiao Fengze and Dao Zheng Mu?
It wasn’t that Hei Jinbao looked down on these two Grandmasters; it was just that their strength was completely not on the same level as him and the others.
As for old Grandmaster Dao Zheng Mu, put that aside for now, since he was just old.
As for Xiao Fengze, he was indeed only at the Grandmaster Gatekeeper level; any random Grandmaster could take him down.
If he were even a bit stronger, Chikan Bay wouldn’t have only five top factions.
As if to confirm Hei Jinbao’s view, one of the battlefields quickly decided a winner.
Boom!
The Crow Leader threw a punch, with gusts of wind shooting everywhere.
Dao Zheng Mu couldn’t dodge in time, spat out blood, flew backward, and his upper clothing was torn into shreds.
“What!”
“Too terrifying.”
“Run!”
Seeing this, all the surrounding All Villains members were terrified and scattered in all directions.
On the other side, Xiao Fengze was also being suppressed by Noah Zoro, defeat merely a matter of time.
“You guys are really lively.”
A burly man with his upper body bare and a descending tiger tattooed on his back led a team to the scene.
This man exuded a fierce aura that kept strangers at bay, like a ferocious tiger ready to devour someone.
Lou Yunyi, Hall Master of Wild Tiger Hall, also a Grandmaster Level Martial Artist.
Seeing the arrival, Shi San Yao clapped and laughed.
“Hahaha, rare indeed. The leaders of our five top factions haven’t gathered like this in a long time.”
The Crow Leader, having sent Dao Zheng Mu flying, didn’t pursue but stayed in place to adjust his breathing.
Once adjusted, the Crow Leader spoke: “Five factions? Do you all think this newly emerging faction is weaker than us?”
Shi San Yao nodded eagerly like he’d found a kindred spirit: “Exactly right, huge numbers and two Grandmasters holding the fort.”
Unfortunately, he wasn’t praising All Villains; he immediately added.
“So everyone, if you were to face such a faction alone, how many chances of victory would you have?”
Shi San Yao’s words were malicious in intent.
It must be known that the number of top factions in Chikan Bay wasn’t set by anyone.
The reason it had long maintained five was not because others didn’t try, but because any emerging new faction would face joint suppression from these five top factions.
In the end, Chikan Bay’s territory was only so big; if you took more, others got less.
It wasn’t possible to eat first and then bring up the rear.
The Crow Leader sized up Brother Lu Bai and confirmed he didn’t know this young man.
He then asked: “Shi San Yao, you know him? What’s this kid’s background?”
“An interesting little guy.”
Before Shi San Yao could introduce, Hei Jinbao spoke first, though his tone was full of malice: “He even dared to order me around? Does Crow have the guts?”
Bang!
It seemed the conversation here distracted Xiao Fengze slightly, allowing Noah Zoro to seize the opening and slam a fist into Xiao Fengze’s chest with the force of a mountain.
Even with a Grandmaster Martial Artist’s physical fitness, taking this hit was clearly unbearable.
Xiao Fengze uncontrollably slid dozens of meters, his feet carving two grooves five or six centimeters deep in the ground.
Once the force dissipated, he could barely stand, staggering and nearly falling to the ground.
“Whoa, not giving you Hei Jinbao face and still alive this long.”
Noah Zoro probably didn’t see Xiao Fengze as a real opponent either, too lazy to chase and finish him off; he casually shook his hand: “That is kinda interesting.”
“Don’t scare me like that.”
Brother Lu Bai smiled and showed weakness: “All Villains is just a new organization, established only a couple days ago. I have no ambition. I just want to say to everyone here…”
At this point, the smile on his face grew even brighter as he continued with a light chuckle.
“…you’re all trash.”
