Chapter 165 - I’m Back
Chapter 165: I’m Back
Before Baoze’s armed forces arrived, the battle at the Wu Family Villa had entered into an intense stage.
The techniques of the elderly clan master could no longer be described to be as agile as a rabbit. It was almost unpredictable. Between his vanishing and sudden appearance, the glint of a sword flashed as blood spilled, and the lives of many powerful Demons Alliance combatants were reaped.
There are many combatants of family forces in the demons descendants community, and the seven major surnames are in the lead position. They not only have many resources, but the characteristics of their abilities were the key. It was hard to counter the ability of speed, which gave the Wu family members the upper hand when it came to facing an opponent.
If they couldn’t defeat their opponent, they could escape. Chase me if you can, and I will let you do anything to me if you can catch me.
Once in a while, powerful demon descendants could detect the old man’s flash step, but could not compete with his combat experience and techniques. They were beheaded with one strike. It was a feat to even leave wounds on the old man.
The rusty zhanmadao blade in the old man’s hand was as if the God of Death’s sickle. Many ants could bite an elephant to death, but before this behemoth collapses, a group of ants will naturally have to die.
Only top combatants of the Demons Alliance, like Liu Mei and Liu Shan could fight with the elderly man for a few rounds.
Liu Mei looked at the old man who was like a phantom and roared, “Old man! If you dare escape, no one from the Wu family will walk out of here.”
The Demons Alliance and the Wu family had deep grudges and have been hunting each other for a long time. After Baoze set up a branch, both parties were slightly restrained and kept up a harmonious facade.
At first, the Demons Alliance was at a disadvantage, but in recent years, the Fengtian Division intentionally or unintentionally connived their actions and provided support.
Thus, the power of the Demons Alliance increased day by day and their strength grew to be very strong. Not to mention the lower-level combatants, just the powerful combatants alone had increased several times more, compared to a decade ago.
Liu Mei had just finished shouting, when her heart jolted twice. A sense of crisis washed over her like a tide and she almost instinctively bowed her head. The next moment, the knife struck. Had it not been for her quick reaction, she would be beheaded by now.
Liu Mei rotated her right foot and her body rotates around her right foot as the axis. She turned to strike a blow behind her.
The old man countered with a blow of his palm and only took three steps back. Liu Mei was like a paper kite who flew back and her feet ploughed two shallow marks on the ground.
“Then let’s see if your Demons Alliance will be annihilated first, or whether my Wu family will be destroyed first.” The old man’s voice rumbled like a deep bell, majestic and dignified.
“Do you think you’re a Gokudo master?” Liu Mei sneered coldly, “Having an infinite amount of qi and blood, and can destroy the mountains and shake the cities. That is the power of a Gokudo master. Old man, you’re old. How many more people can you kill?”
“I have no problem killing you all before I run out of power.” The old man held the blade without panicking at all.
“Oh my, the most powerful man in Northeast China. What a difficult opponent to handle. If it was just our Demons Alliance, it would be hard to determine the outcome of the battle.”
A soft laugh suddenly rang, as a man with narrow eyes stepped on the ruins and blood, intervening in the battle.
The old man just glanced at him, and naturally did not waste his expression for an insignificant little man. Liu Mei raised her eyebrows in surprise. She had a few ties with the young man and remembered it was Hu Zong’s lackey. He was always smiling and somehow it inspired dislike.
“Liu Mei, preserve your combat power. You don’t have to die. Keep some talent for my Demons Alliance.” The man with narrow eyes said with a smile.
Your Demons Alliance? Liu Mei only found it funny, but did not bother to ridicule an ambitious but untalented, or just arrogant junior. He would be lucky if he wasn’t killed by the old man.
The man with narrow eyes did not seem to know that he was in a dangerous situation. Even if they were tens of meters apart, to the old man who was well-versed in flash step, the distance was nothing and he could kill him in a blow.
“Don’t stare at me, old man. I’m not your target.” The man with narrow eyes made a feminine hand gesture and deliberately made his voice sharper and said gently, “Old man, do you remember this person from your past?”
After saying that, the old man seemed to have sensed something, and looked towards the foot of the mountain.
Liu Mei and other Demons Alliance combatants also turned their heads and looked at the roaring figure.
The closer he got to the Wu family’s base camp, the faster Wu Sanjin’s heartbeat became. It was as dense as a drum of war.
He learned to practice qi at the age of five, figured out his sense of qi at the age of ten, and was far superior compared to his peers at the age of fifteen. The whole family was very happy. No, the members of his branch in the family were particularly happy.
Wu Sanjin’s grandfather and the old clan master are cousins. Pushing forward a few generations, they were from the direct bloodline.
His great-grandfather had six children, and the six children have their own children. Their children then gave birth and the relationship between generations become further.
The family was like a big tree, the branches extend, and then continue to extend. The bloodline and kinship were weak and were only sustained by the surname.
In the process of extending branches and leaves, Wu Sanjin was constantly marginalized. There were no talents in the family. His father and grandfather, and his relatives in three generations were mediocre.
They couldn’t practice qi or do business. In a few decades, they would become the weakest group of people in the Wu family. They wouldn’t enjoy much welfare, but still had to listen to the family’s orders.
Thus, his appearance was equivalent to a light in the dark. After he turned twenty years old, his reputation as a prodigy did not disappear, but became more renowned. His contemporaries have been unable to satisfy him, and he could be regarded as a master among his elders.
Everyone had thought he would be a mediocre person, but who expected him to be a genius who opened up the land. There was a flood of glory, praise, flattery… The family members privately said he would be the next clan master.
When he became famous as a young man and was proud of himself, Wu Sanjin himself thought the same way. One time in front of everyone, he said, “If I were the clan master, the Wu family would dominate the Demons Alliance.”
At that time, Baoze’s Fengtian Division was just established, and the Demons Alliance was established in the same year. It was a pressure on the Wu family like the Turkish emperor.
The words he said when he was young and frivolous had landed him in great trouble.
“I asked you the other day if you wanted to be the clan master, and you said, ‘Of course.’ From that day on, I knew I couldn’t keep you.”
“Of course she was your girlfriend, but now she’s not. She’s my woman, so it’s a fact that you raped your sister-in-law.”
“To refute my father in front of so many people, to reject the marriage arranged for you by the family, and to injure people, you did not disappoint me. Love is your greatest weakness.”
“You’re dead, and so is she. I’ll turn you into a puppet for me to manipulate. Oh, you probably don’t know. She’s two months pregnant. What effect do you think the puppet spell of our Wu family will have, when paired with Xiangxi’s Mother-Child Evil Array?”
He was bound in a secret room to wait for death, and the man’s evil words circled in his brain. No family member had asked for mercy to be shown, and no one would even pursue the truth. His rise had caused many to be jealous, who would be willing to stand up for him?
The man who stood up for him quickly appeared. He was about the same age as him, but had power and wealth beyond his reach.
“I was worried about who would be the minister of Fengtian Division. I decided it was you.”
Wu Sanjin said, “But I am just an imbecile whose core has been destroyed.”
“I have a set of ‘The Call of the Times’ manual here, and I hope it will help you. Anyway, in order to save you, I promised a lot of benefits, so I’m not missing anything by giving you this. What a nuisance, you messy families have many prodigies that don’t listen to instructions. More people like you would be trouble.”
“You have a tiger in your heart, and I look forward to it breaking out of the cage.”
Outside the villa, Wu Sanjin stepped on the front of the car and leapt into the air. He soared through the fighting crowd, over the collapsed villa, and returned to this place that changed the trajectory of his life.
He did not use his superpowers to quietly insert himself into the battlefield. Fast as he was, he appeared unabashedly and did not conceal his movements. The Wu family and the Demons Alliance had noticed him.
At the top of the mountain, standing at the top of the collapsed ruins, Wu Sanjin said, “Elderly Clan Master, I’m back!”
A scarlet glint flashed in his pupils. The tiger was out of the cage.
