The Eternal Way-Chapter 10: Assault

What happened?!

How could so many people be missing?

It was possible for two or three to get lost, but how could over ten or twenty people disappear?

"Stay alert, something's wrong!" He immediately turned back to the boat pullers and shouted loudly, no longer concerned about remaining hidden!

Almost simultaneously.

A dull thunder echoed through the air.

A boulder weighing over five hundred catties came hurtling from a dark corner at an incredible speed, causing a deep rumble as it sliced through the air!

It smashed directly into the crowd!

Crack! Crack! Crack! The sound of bones breaking filled the air, just like a catapult hitting its target.

Cries of agony rang out; in an instant, four or five people spat blood, clearly beyond saving. Another ten were injured to varying degrees.

"Form up!" Lu Shan roared instantly, then darted towards where the stone had come from.

Immediately, another boulder whistled through the air!

Lu Shan met it from the side, kicking it with all his might at the last second, deflecting it to crash onto the ground.

The boat pullers, recovering from their initial shock, quickly followed Lu Shan's previous instructions.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

They formed groups of ten, with the extras standing behind, creating a peculiar formation.

Lu Shan pushed aside a thin wooden wall and saw a man towering over eight feet tall, muscles bulging unnaturally, almost as if inflated.

He had never seen anyone so muscular.

Most importantly, he faintly recognized the face under the dim light.

It was Li Qi.

Why is Li Qi here!?

And why does he look like this!? Wasn't he only seven feet tall? His physique was once merely proportionate, when did he become so muscular?!

Li Qi, seeing Lu Shan enter, grinned and said, "Shan Dazhuang, didn't expect this, did you?"

Lu Shan was stunned.

Taking advantage of Lu Shan's momentary distraction, Li Qi launched a surprise attack.

With a bull-like charge, he knocked Lu Shan flying.

But to Li Qi's surprise, this sudden assault didn't work!

Two massive men collided, but Li Qi felt a strange lightness at the point of impact, not the solid hit he expected.

Lu Shan flew high, retreating far back, using the force to roll twice, dissipating the impact before standing up and returning to the boat puller formation.

Then, he looked at Li Qi.

In a flash, Lu Shan understood the situation.

Over ten people missing... likely ambushed and captured by Li Qi along the way.

That force must have been over six thousand catties, even surpassing him.

This was definitely a cultivation technique!

Possibly the one stolen from us!

"Li Qi is there! Kill him!" He screamed, his voice cracking, "Use what I taught you! We have over twenty people, he's alone!"

Lu Shan led the charge, rushing towards Li Qi with dozens of men.

As for Li Qi's side:

Everything was going according to plan.

Lu Shan sent people tonight to kill him, which revealed much.

Thus, without hesitation, Li Qi pretended to be injured but deliberately showed signs of life.

Lu Shan wouldn't tolerate his survival and would surely bring the Lizhuang Gang to kill him.

A cultivation technique involved too much. Normally, the authorities could suppress conflicts among the three factions, but with a cultivation technique on the line, they couldn't hold back anymore.

Moreover, the Lizhuang Gang was already strong.

Among the three gangs, the Lizhuang Gang was always the strongest, with Lu Shan's ambitions clear.

His sharp mind and strength made life hard for the Paibo Gang before Li Qi arrived. Even the Water Horse Gang wasn't comfortable. Only by uniting could they balance things out.

Not being completely crushed was purely because the Paibo Gang could enter water, making them untouchable by the Lizhuang Gang. Meanwhile, the Water Horse Gang's toughness allowed them to defend adequately despite lacking offensive power.

After Li Qi joined, he thwarted several of Lu Shan's plots, earning his place as the second-in-command of the Paibo Gang.

Therefore, Li Qi believed he understood Lu Shan's actions and character well.

Lu Shan wouldn't sit idly by; he wouldn't wait for Li Qi to slowly master the divine intent inheritance.

Even waiting until tomorrow wasn't an option, as Li Qi might escape.

Lu Shan might think Li Qi would hide, slowly mastering the technique, then return stronger.

So, Li Qi concluded that Lu Shan would act decisively, taking advantage of knowing his location to launch a direct attack, avoiding any delays.

Thus, Li Qi decided to strike first.

Would Lu Shan act decisively? Why wouldn't he?

He had mastered the Ox Strength Technique!

So, he used the Li River's tributaries to sneak into the Lizhuang Gang's camp.

Originally planning a night raid to decapitate Lu Shan,

he unexpectedly encountered Lu Shan leading an attack.

Following silently, occasionally grabbing and killing stragglers without a sound, using the Ox Strength Technique to swiftly end them.

After following for over ten minutes, using the technique multiple times, he silently killed over ten people.

Using it the third time, his final chance, and last ten minutes,

Li Qi decided to launch a preemptive strike. Finding two boulders, he struck first, killing four or five more before being discovered!

Seeing the enemy reduced from over forty to just over twenty, nearly halved, Li Qi smiled viciously, his breath visible in the winter air, his red skin adding to his terrifying appearance.

Seeing Lu Shan still daring to lead the charge, Li Qi launched a counterattack!

Like a charging bull, each step cracked the ground, rumbling loudly!

Where did they get the courage to charge head-on against him?

Now, his skin was thick and impervious to blades, capable of lifting a small car with his immense strength of six thousand eight hundred catties.

Li Qi felt this charge could knock down two layers of a tower.

Such force shook the boat pullers' resolve, stirring fear within them.

Suddenly, they found themselves unable to stop their charge.

It seemed some invisible tether, through some formation, bound their bodies together, forcing them to charge forward under Lu Shan's leadership, ready to collide with the raging bull!
