Chapter 209 The Great Purge (Part Two)
"They are still young. Although their cultivation is not weak, they lack experience in fighting enemies."
"Fortunately, these students have a very deep understanding of the tradition and have not suffered any damage."
Seeing that the students were all safe and sound, Commander Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued to fight back against the scarred man in front of him.
At this moment, the students also freed up their hands and feet, and drew their weapons to fight the strangers with great skill.
Boom! Boom! Clang! Clang!
In an instant, the alley was filled with flashing blades, flying fists, and shouts of killing that carried far and wide.
"No wonder these people dare to run rampant in the city. Judging from their martial arts skills, not one of them is not a master!"
Commander Liu grew increasingly alarmed as the battle raged on.
The strangers before me were all exceptionally skilled, and their attacks were fierce.
In particular, the murderous aura emanating from them made everyone seem as if they had emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, which made people feel uneasy.
"Everyone, hold on a little longer! The sounds of battle are deafening here; reinforcements will surely arrive soon!"
Commander Liu loudly encouraged the students.
In truth, he wasn't sure whether reinforcements were actually coming or not. But these students were new to the workforce and needed encouragement and confidence most of all, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and make something up.
These words did have some effect. When the students heard Commander Liu say that reinforcements were coming, their confidence soared, and they fought even more fiercely.
But these words also served as a reminder to the stranger in front of him.
The scarred leader's expression changed, and he forcefully slashed at Commander Liu, forcing him back several steps. He shouted, "Brothers, don't linger! Go all out and kill as many as you can!"
"kill!"
The other strangers received the order, shouted in unison, and intensified their attack.
This time, the students were immediately overwhelmed.
"what!"
In the chaos, a student was slashed in the leg by a stranger, blood gushing out, and he collapsed to the ground screaming in agony.
Those nearby rushed to help, but were unexpectedly struck by a knife.
Although these students were highly skilled, they were not used to life and death, and were inevitably frightened when attacked by strangers.
In their fear, they were even less able to defend themselves.
"what!"
"what!"
In just a few breaths, several more students were injured.
"withdraw!"
Seeing that things were going badly, Commander Liu shouted and grabbed a student, fighting as he rushed toward the end of the alley.
Other students followed suit, helping their companions up as they fought and retreated.
But the strangers had no intention of letting them go.
"Hmph! Want to run?"
The scarred man at the head of the group snorted coldly, caught up with the two wounded students who were lagging behind, and brought his knife down with a swift motion.
Commander Liu was almost at the end of the alley when he heard the stranger shouting behind him. He hurriedly turned around and saw Scarface about to bring a long knife down on an injured student.
"It's over! This man's life is in danger!"
Commander Liu's face turned pale; he wanted to go back to provide assistance, but it was too late.
Just then, a loud shout came from outside the alley wall: "Stop being so arrogant, or I'll give you a good stab from your Fifth Master!"
As the shout rang out, a figure flew over the high wall and landed in front of Scarface, thrusting his spear straight at him.
Ding!
With a loud bang, the spear pierced the longsword in the scarred man's hand, nearly knocking the sword out of his grasp.
"You dare to kill someone in front of Fifth Master? You're asking for trouble!"
The shot worked, and the figure began to shout loudly; it was none other than Young Master Long Wu.
"There really are reinforcements! But there aren't enough; it would be better if there were more."
Commander Liu was overjoyed and couldn't help but touch the corner of his mouth, feeling as if his lips had been blessed.
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
As if to cooperate with Commander Liu's idea, four more people flew in from outside the high wall of the alley.
Commander Liu looked closely and saw that it was Xiao Chong leading the fat man and others who had arrived.
"So it's Master Xiao who's in charge. Then let's not stand on ceremony. Let's join forces and take down these strangers!"
"A master who can force even martial arts masters to become powerful is not someone to be trifled with."
Commander Liu trusted Master Xiao. So he put the wounded man on the ground and returned to fight.
Scarface felt a different kind of emotion at this moment. He was about to succeed when his opponent suddenly sent reinforcements, which startled him.
"It seems that things are beyond our control today. If we delay any longer, who knows how many more people will arrive. We can only try to find a way to escape first."
Scarface quickly considered the situation, gave his companion a wink, and prepared to retreat.
Having just exchanged blows with Long Wu, he found the other man rather troublesome, so he set his sights on other people.
"That boy with the bushy eyebrows isn't very skilled; he's clearly not at the Martial Master level yet. He could be a breakthrough point!"
"It's you! Who told you to have such strangely shaped eyebrows? It gives you a short-lived look!"
Scarface's gaze swept quickly over the group, and he instantly identified his target. With a flick of his longsword, he slashed straight at Xiao Chong.
"This road doesn't work!"
Seeing the scarred man charging towards him, Xiao Chong shouted and raised his Immortal-Slaying Sword to meet him.
Clang!
As the swords clashed, Xiao Chong remained motionless, while Scarface let out a strange cry and flew back two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters).
The opponent's sword strike just now contained a massive amount of cold energy, which almost froze him. If it weren't for his special cultivation technique, he would probably be crippled.
"Why are they all freaks? They haven't even reached the Martial Master level, yet they can fight me to a standstill!"
"Let's target that little girl. She's petite and unarmed, so she should be easier to deal with."
Scarface clearly didn't want to admit defeat, so he turned his attention to the others. This time, he targeted Qingmeng.
"Take a breath! Get a running start! Push!" Scarface roared as he charged toward Qingmeng with his knife raised.
But he was wrong again this time!
Faced with Scarface's charge, Qingmeng used the principle of "no moves are better than moves" and simply threw a heavy punch!
boom!
With a muffled thud, Qingmeng's small fist slammed into the opponent's blade, smashing it so hard that it twisted and warped, like a fire poker, before bouncing onto Scarface's forehead.
Scarface was frustrated! He really wanted to rub his eyes to see if he was seeing things.
Before he could make a move, Qing Meng punched him in the face again.
boom!
Scarface's vision went black, and he instantly lost consciousness.
These few moves were swift and decisive, happening in the blink of an eye, leaving the other strangers somewhat bewildered.
Before they could react, Fatty, Long Wu, and the others swarmed forward and knocked them all to the ground.
Alright, that's enough!
Xiao Chong waved his sleeve and led his companions over the wall, leaving Commander Liu standing there.
……
Several more days passed quickly, and Commander Liu led his men through the streets and alleys, arresting unfamiliar martial artists.
Having learned his lesson last time, he found several formidable opponents this time. Meanwhile, the young students also began to grow stronger during the battle.
As for Xiao Chong, he led his companions to put out fires everywhere, truly embodying the spirit of going wherever there was trouble.
They left without a trace after accomplishing their task, concealing their merits and fame—this is a true reflection of their character.
After about ten days, Lianxin City had been thoroughly cleaned up, and public security quickly improved. There were no more unfamiliar martial artists to be seen, and the residents returned to their peaceful lives.
However, Sheng Chunshui and Xiao Chong knew clearly that the terrible incident that had occurred a few days ago was just a prelude, and the real storm had only just begun.
