Chapter 141 They can't kill them all, they simply can't kill them all.
As Chen Kangnian watched Yun Xiaohan and the man in black approach, his brows furrowed slightly. He seemed to have a bad feeling. He couldn't help but exchange a glance with Xuan Zhang beside him, and saw the same worry in Xuan Zhang's eyes.
Yun Hailong was also surprised to see Yun Xiaohan here, and even more surprised to find several men in black with him.
Yun Xiaohan walked up to the crowd, cupped his hands and called out "Father," then leaned close to Yun Hailong's ear and whispered for a moment.
Yun Hailong's expression gradually changed as Yun Xiaohan spoke. After listening, his eyes became deep and complex, and his brows even furrowed slightly. Seeing Yun Hailong's expression, Chen Kangnian and Xuan Zhang felt their bad premonition grow stronger.
After reporting to Yun Hailong in a low voice, Yun Xiaohan stood quietly behind Yun Hailong, but then looked up directly at Chen Kangnian and Xuan Zhang, smiling slightly, his eyes even revealing a hint of provocation. He knew that the information he brought was enough to change the current situation, and he was happy to see that happen.
“Mr. Chen, it seems you won’t be leaving today.” Yun Hailong spoke slowly, his voice deep and powerful.
Chen Kangnian and Xuan Zhang exchanged a glance, both seeing seriousness in each other's eyes. Chen Kangnian took a deep breath, trying to calm his unease: "What does Master Yun mean by this? Are you perhaps going back on your word?"
"It's not that I meant to go down again, but someone wanted to keep Mr. Chen and his friends here, so I had no choice but to resort to this tactic."
"Oh?" Chen Kangnian sneered, quickly scanning the men in black before him. "It seems that these men in black brought by the young master are not from the Weiyu Pavilion. What, does the prestigious Weiyu Pavilion have to take orders from others? Wouldn't this make us a laughingstock if word got out?"
Yun Hailong smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying. He knew that Chen Kangnian was smart enough to understand the implications with just a hint. Furthermore, having just learned that the mysterious man had ordered the capture of everyone appearing on Qingri Peak, or the immediate execution of those not captured, he suspected that Chen Kangnian and his group already knew about the grand formation.
Now that we see Chen Kangnian and the others crippled and injured, plus the black-clad men brought by Yun Xiaohan, it doesn't seem impossible to leave them all here to be buried with the great formation.
Seeing the slightly somber expressions on Chen Kangnian and the others' faces, Yun Xiaohan couldn't help but feel a little smug. Before Yun Hailong could speak, he said, "As long as it doesn't get out, that's fine. I think Mr. Chen would be better off saying less." Yun Xiaohan's words carried a hint of threat, "If you anger the people around me, I'm afraid..."
"Pah!" Mu Qing interrupted Yun Xiaohan before he could finish speaking. "Whose dog ran out and started barking? It's really giving me a headache."
Mu Qing's disdain startled Yun Xiaohan slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, a glint of malice flashing in his eyes. "Hmph, sharp-tongued, let's see how long you can keep this up." After saying that, Yun Xiaohan immediately cupped his hands and advised Yun Hailong, "Father, now is the perfect time to act, we can't wait any longer."
Yun Hailong glanced at the black-clad man standing behind his son, who remained expressionless and silent, then scanned Chen Kangnian and the others. He decisively raised his hand and waved his hand, ordering his disciples behind him, "Go, kill these people on the spot."
Upon receiving the order, the disciples of Weiyu Tower pounced on Chen Kangnian and his group like wolves. Chen Kangnian and his companions, undaunted, quickly formed a battle formation to meet the attack.
Although the disciples of Weiyu Tower were no match for the group in martial arts, their sheer number made up for it. Furthermore, Mu Qing, Xuan Zhang, and Yu Zechuan, who had all sustained injuries of varying degrees, were now gritting their teeth and persevering. Even Su Huaiqi, a mediocre fighter, joined the battle, but the sheer number of enemies was overwhelming!
They can’t kill them all, they can’t kill them all at all!
Su Huaiqi, panting heavily, stood with one hand on her hip and the other gripping her short sword tightly, wary of another Weiyu Tower disciple suddenly appearing. She glanced at Yu Zechuan, who was still fighting desperately beside her; it was because of Yu Zechuan that she had this chance to catch her breath. However, the wound on his back seemed to have reopened, the blood staining Yu Zechuan's clothes, a stark contrast to the chaotic scene around him.
Su Huaiqi's heart clenched. She took a deep breath, raised her hand to touch the jade pendant on her chest, as if she had made a decision.
Carrying a short knife, she took advantage of the surrounding chaos and quietly ran towards the bronze ring in the center of the arena. Because he had left in a hurry, Uncle Chen hadn't had time to put the bronze ring back in its original position, and this oversight actually helped Su Huaiqi a lot.
As she got closer to the copper ring, the number of enemies attacking her also increased. It was then that Su Huaiqi realized the reason she had encountered so few enemies earlier was because Yu Zechuan had blocked most of them.
Su Huaiqi exhaled a breath of stale air, seemingly trying to suppress the tension and fear in her heart. She knew that only by remaining calm could she gain a chance of survival in this dangerous and complex situation.
Yun Hailong's attention was originally focused on Chen Kangnian and the other old guys, as there might be unforeseen circumstances involving them. However, Su Huaiqi's sudden appearance unexpectedly drew Yun Hailong's attention instead. Wasn't that Xi Ming's niece? How did she end up with Chen Kangnian and the others?
Yun Hailong narrowed his eyes and focused his attention on the few young people fighting in the crowd. Sure enough, he saw several familiar faces.
At this point, even if Yun Hailong were dull-witted, he could deduce the general situation. It was likely that his niece and nephew-in-law were both in disguise, and even the vanished Xi Zhenzhen might be related to their scheme.
Yun Hailong's anger burned fiercely, and his face turned extremely gloomy and ugly. Seeing how hard everyone was struggling to cope, Yun Hailong decided to give them another "gift".
Yun Hailong waved his hand and said to his disciples, "How many black fireballs do you have left? Throw them all over there!"
The disciple beside him was stunned upon hearing this, and repeated in disbelief, "A black fireball?"
"What are you standing there for! Go and relay my orders!" Yun Hailong roared angrily when he saw his disciple still standing there blankly beside him.
"Master, but our disciples are inside too, and there are many of us. If we throw the black fireball..." The disciple who was relaying the order hadn't finished speaking when he felt a piercing pain in his chest. Looking down, he saw that half a sharp sword had pierced his chest. The disciple's eyes widened, and he slowly fell to the ground. Yun Hailong, however, showed no mercy, roaring viciously, "Anyone who dares to disobey my orders will suffer this fate!"
For a moment, all the disciples fell silent, not daring to hesitate in the slightest, and went to carry out the order.
Chen Kangnian and the others were greatly alarmed upon seeing this.
Even if we disregard them, we should at least consider the disciples of Weiyu Tower who are fighting with them.
"Watch out! Scatter!" Chen Kangnian shouted, trying to organize everyone to deal with the impending crisis. However, black fireballs were already raining down on them, flames soaring into the sky and thick smoke billowing.
Oh my god! How am I supposed to avoid these explosives?!
Su Huaiqi screamed inwardly, but her feet didn't flinch. She ran straight towards the nearest ruins, grabbing a familiar female disciple along the way and tackling her to the ground beside the ruins.
A series of deafening booms echoed as black fireballs exploded one after another, leaving the surrounding area in ruins. Su Huaiqi lay curled up on the ground, her other hand tightly gripping the female disciple beside her, as rubble and dust continued to rain down on her. When the bombardment subsided slightly, Su Huaiqi, covered in dust and dirt, raised her head, shook her head as if dazed from the shockwave, and asked softly, "Sister Qing, are you alright?"
Yun Zhiqing seemed to still be reeling from the explosion. Just as she was about to cough, Su Huaiqi "ruthlessly" covered her mouth. Su Huaiqi quickly gestured for her to be quiet, and only after seeing Yun Zhiqing nod slightly did he lower his hand.
“Miss Xi…?” Yun Zhiqing looked at Su Huaiqi in surprise. Isn’t this Zhenzhen’s cousin? What’s she doing here?
Su Huaiqi felt somewhat helpless. Yun Zhiqing in front of her was one of the female disciples who had accompanied her during her short stay at Weiyu Tower. She hadn't expected to see her again so soon.
The two had been chatting and laughing when they last met, but this time they were about to clash with swords. For a moment, Su Huaiqi couldn't help but fall silent. She could only tear off a relatively clean piece of clothing from her skirt and silently bandage Yun Zhiqing's right arm, which had just been injured by the explosion.
Yun Zhiqing raised her left hand to stop Su Huaiqi's movement, a familiar smile on her pale face. "Thank you, but no need."
Su Huaiqi looked up at Yun Zhiqing with some confusion, just thinking that she did not want to accept the enemy's help, when he suddenly noticed that Yun Zhiqing's right abdomen seemed to have been blown open, and blood had stained her entire abdomen bright red.
Su Huaiqi's pupils contracted sharply, a complex emotion welling up inside her. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found her throat felt blocked, unable to utter a single word. Yun Zhiqing seemed to sense her thoughts, gently shaking her head and whispering, "It's alright, don't be afraid." As she finished speaking, her body trembled slightly, as if she were enduring immense pain.
Su Huaiqi bit her lip, a determined glint in her eyes. Ignoring Yun Zhiqing's attempts to stop her, she reached out again to bandage her wound. "Speak less, hang in there!" Su Huaiqi's voice trembled slightly.
"It's alright." Yun Zhiqing's cold left hand covered Su Huaiqi's hands. "Is Zhenzhen... with you...?"
“Yes, we’re together.” Su Huaiqi didn’t expect Yun Zhiqing to ask this question. Her eyes reddened, and she nodded vigorously, answering with a choked voice.
Yun Zhiqing leaned weakly against the ruins, her eyes gradually becoming unfocused. "That's... good. Tell Zhenzhen to be careful... careful of the landlord... and the people behind him..." she said with difficulty, as if each word had exhausted all her strength.
"Okay, I understand. Don't say anything more." Su Huaiqi heard Yun Zhiqing's weak voice and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Cough cough," Yun Zhiqing coughed up a mouthful of blood, and with great effort pulled a blood-stained purse from her waist and stuffed it into Su Huaiqi's hand. "It's alright, I'm going to sleep now..." Before she could finish speaking, she breathed her last.
Su Huaiqi silently closed Yun Zhiqing's eyes, then leaned against her, looking at the chaotic surroundings, her heart filled with confusion and pain. She didn't know how the others were doing, nor did she dare to think about it, what if…
