Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World-Chapter 234 - 138: Instant Kill, The Extraordinary Beast Roar
Chapter 234: Chapter 138: Instant Kill, The Extraordinary Beast Roar
Under the cover of night, shadows of dozens of figures hid among the haystacks.
The leader, with a fierce expression and a face full of coarse features, was none other than Wang Tiansheng, Hall Master of the Thunder Hall of the Black Sand Gang.
Although Gu’s Manor was merely a small fortification, the Black Sand Gang had repeatedly suffered defeat here. And being the first faction to openly align with Liu Yuanhu, Zhao Honglie had not forgotten them.
This time, Zhao Honglie specifically dispatched Wang Tiansheng, the formidable Hall Master of Thunder Hall, to lead an operation to annihilate Gu’s Manor!
To ensure success, Zhao Honglie even provided them with twenty sets of heavy armor.
Wang Tiansheng brought a total of fifty men for this raid, including six masters of the Blood Refining Realm, while the remaining forty-four were all Martial Artists!
With such strength, the Blood Refining Realm experts alone outnumbered those of Gu’s Manor by two.
This time, Zhao Honglie’s command was to utterly eradicate Gu’s Manor, leaving no survivors! This was meant to serve as a warning to those who had already sided with Liu Yuanhu and those villagers still wavering—defying him meant only one fate: death!
Wang Tiansheng glanced at Gu’s Manor. At the moment, the village was quiet, with only the occasional flicker of patrol firelight visible.
Wang Tiansheng gestured to his subordinates, signaling, "Advance!"
The Black Sand Gang members crept out of the haystacks and swiftly approached Gu’s Manor.
"Bang!"
A loud, muffled sound echoed—a Black Sand Gang member had triggered a trap and was sent flying by a heavy tree trunk.
Since Gu Jingang had taken charge, he had strengthened the village’s defenses.
The patrolling guards, hearing the commotion, didn’t bother investigating. Instead, they immediately grabbed signaling arrows from their waists and shot them into the sky, then ferociously rang the alarm gongs strapped to their belts.
"Enemy attack! We’re under attack!"
Ever since Gu’s Manor took sides in the conflict, it had maintained a state of high alert. Upon hearing the disturbance, Martial Artists within the village quickly dressed and rushed to the village entrance.
Gu Jingang, Gu Dajiang, Gu Changming, and Gu Xiaojiang were among the first to arrive.
The people of Gu’s Manor promptly lit torches to illuminate the Black Sand Gang’s figures in the dark night.
"Wang Tiansheng, Hall Master of Thunder Hall from the Black Sand Gang!" frёewebnoѵēl.com
Gu Jingang’s expression grew grim as he recognized Wang Tiansheng.
The Hall Masters of the Black Gauze Gang each had their specialties, and Wang Tiansheng was renowned for his brutal combat style and overwhelming strength!
Among the Hall Masters, his prowess was considered top-notch. His most legendary achievement was a battle two years ago where, at the Blood Refining Great Success level, he fought against three opponents of the same level, killing two and forcing the third to flee heavily injured.
But that was two years ago. After another two years of cultivation, although he had not advanced to Blood Refining Perfect, his combat strength had undoubtedly refined further.
This weighed heavily on Gu Jingang and the others.
Seeing the failed ambush, Wang Tiansheng decided to drop the pretense of concealment.
"Come on! Armor up!"
The Black Sand Gang members immediately opened wooden crates and began donning heavy armor.
Seeing those heavy armors, Gu Changming and Gu Dajiang’s expressions became even grimmer.
"They’re determined to wipe out our Gu’s Manor this time!"
"Stop talking! Gear up! If we’re going to die, we’ll make sure to break their teeth on the way down!"
A fierce glint flashed across Gu Jingang’s face, and he decisively ordered everyone in Gu’s Manor to retrieve their specially crafted iron armor.
"Kill! Leave none behind!"
With heavy armor on, Wang Tiansheng charged at Gu’s Manor, wielding a terrifyingly large ghost-head blade.
"Xiaojiang, provide support from the side, but don’t take unnecessary risks!"
Seeing the Black Sand Gang’s formidable lineup and potent strength, Gu Dajiang urgently warned Gu Xiaojiang.
Gu Xiaojiang possessed exceptional talent and was destined for a brighter future; he was the hope of Gu’s Manor. Gu Dajiang couldn’t bear the thought of him dying here.
After donning his heavy armor, Gu Jingang immediately sought out Wang Tiansheng.
Gu Jingang wore a pair of iron gauntlets crafted from refined steel; each punch swept forth with a fierce gale.
Wang Tiansheng’s ghost-head blade danced in seamless strikes, clashing against the gauntlets in ear-piercing metallic clangs that sparked endlessly in the dense night.
The disparity in Martial Artists’ abilities, combined with the advantage in heavy armor numbers, quickly tipped the scales in favor of the Black Sand Gang.
Especially those two additional Blood Refining Realm experts—though their cultivation was only at Small Success, they were practically crushing those at the Refining Skin Realm.
Even the Jade Skin Realm Martial Artists on Gu’s Manor’s side struggled to last three to five moves against them.
At that moment, an arrow streaked forth from Gu’s Manor, narrowly avoiding the thick heavy armor and piercing through the gap at the armor’s joints into the enemy’s body.
"Whoosh, whoosh!"
Two more arrows whistled through the air.
The two arrows, as if guided by precision targeting, pierced through the armor’s joints and directly killed their targets inside.
The armored corpses fell to the ground with a dull thud, heavy armor clanging loudly as it toppled.
Heavy armor was considered restricted due to its immense boost to a Martial Artist’s combat prowess and its ability to make many arrow attacks ineffective.
And yet, within just three arrows, they had lost an armored warrior—this level of archery was terrifying!
Wang Tiansheng’s gaze locked onto a tall, handsome young man within Gu’s Manor wielding a longbow.
Gu Jingang also turned to look and saw the face of Gu Sheng.
Upon sighting Gu Sheng, Gu Jingang couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
While others were unaware, he knew very well that, although he was considered the top master of Gu’s Manor on the surface, any sparring session with Gu Sheng always resulted in one-sided defeat for him.
Seeing Gu Sheng take action gave him great confidence. He understood now that tonight’s battle essentially had no more uncertainties!
Though Gu Sheng wasn’t a direct member of the Gu family, he had friends here, and, as long as it wouldn’t disrupt his own plans, he wouldn’t stand by and watch Gu’s Manor be destroyed.
