"Your pancakes are so delicious, Master... Are you Wu Dalang in disguise?"

As night deepened, two young men stood eagerly waiting for their food at a pancake stall on the street. The erudite leader of the martial arts alliance, Long Aotian, expressed his knowledge and sentiment. They had already eaten one round and found it so delicious that they were back for a second helping.

The stall owner, busy making pancakes, didn't understand what the young man was saying and remained silent. But the little monk next to him chimed in promptly.

"Who is Wu Dalang?"

"My dad says he's the best pancake maker in the world."

"Your dad must have been very hungry when he ate at that stall."

"Hehe, maybe so."

The two were, of course, preparing to find Li Yanfeng, the "Monkey King" under the command of the "King of Reincarnation," but the night market was still in full swing, and they had been searching for a while, feeling somewhat impatient. They thought doing bad things should be reserved for the late hours. This was the trouble with starting a new game.

At that moment, a signal firework soared into the night sky.

The little monk's ears twitched, and he looked towards the Qinhuai River bank not far away, almost simultaneously with Long Aotian.

"Something's up."

"Master, what's over there?"

The pancake maker glanced over. "That's... towards the Golden Pavilion. It's the liveliest place. Probably another fight because negotiations failed. You kids shouldn't go there."

"Okay, okay, Master, hurry and make the pancakes."

After a while, they grabbed their pancakes and took off running.

In the front, Long Aotian's eyes held excitement beneath a calm exterior. The little monk following closely behind had his mouth open, his face full of barely concealed joy. He had traveled in Jin in the past, and although he had learned a lot of martial arts from his extremely kind master, he had lost his parents at a young age and was often thrown into danger by his master for training. It was impossible to say how much fun he had. Most of the time, he was tense and often beaten black and blue, secretly crying.

Only after arriving in Jiangning and meeting this skilled older brother did he truly feel the joy of having martial arts skills and joining in the fun everywhere. He thought that perhaps his master had sent him out to make friends and experience these things. His master was truly profound in his Zen wisdom and deeply calculating, hahaha.

With such feelings, the two sprinted towards the commotion.

…

Inside and outside the Golden Pavilion, chaos spread.

On the street outside the building, Yan Yunzhi, who had not yet figured out what was happening, was almost knocked to the ground by the chaotic crowd. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, ran to the side of the street, leaned against the wall, and observed the situation.

The first few people who jumped out of the wall were masters of lightness skill. One of them might be "Cold Crow" Chen Juefang, under the command of the "King of Reincarnation." Judging from the lightness skills these people displayed, her own meager skills were still far from comparable.

On the street, someone was shouting orders for the "Undying Guards" to intercept people. No one knew what kind of sudden infighting had broken out in the courtyard. In her view, vendors in the distance were pushing their carts and running away. Some beggars, pedestrians, and those from the Green Forest who had come to join the fun were also scurrying away. Members of the "Undying Guards" or "Grudge Gathering" with knives came out of the shops on this side of the road, while the shopkeepers and waiters busily put up the door planks, not wanting to be easily drawn into such a big mess.

The warning signal had already been fired into the sky. The "King of Reincarnation's" subordinates who saw the fireworks would probably gather here on a large scale.

Yan Yunzhi stood in the dark place by the roadside, took a deep breath, and calmed her thoughts.

She could see that this was not a large-scale firefight between evenly matched forces. The person who escaped first threw thunderclap fire into the crowd in order to disrupt the situation and expand the commotion. But now there were hundreds of pedestrians and Green Forest people joining the fun on the street, and there were already more than a hundred people in the Golden Pavilion courtyard. As long as the initial chaos was suppressed, neither the "King of Reincarnation" nor the "Fairness Party" would possibly blame so many people.

As long as she was not drawn into the initial chaos, there was theoretically no danger.

However, she was currently being wanted by Shi Baofeng's people with a sketched portrait. If the nearby streets were blocked off and her entry pass was checked, her situation might become dire.

Thinking of this, she focused on the areas along the road that appeared dark due to lighting problems, and silently headed towards one end of the long street. At this time, people were running around her and around her. Green Forest people were jumping out of the wall of the Golden Pavilion one after another, and people were rushing out of the courtyard's gate.

Yan Yunzhi suddenly understood that in this chaos of hundreds of people, she was not the only one who was worried about her unclear identity and did not want to be checked.

She had been depressed for days, practicing her skills every day, only thinking about killing Chen Juefang, who spread the rumors, or Long Aotian, who started it all, to take revenge. Now, experiencing such a thing, seeing everyone running wildly, she couldn't help but laugh in the dark, both amused and annoyed.

At this moment, on the wall over there, a figure rushed onto the wall like thunder, waving a staff in his hand, knocking down several Green Forest people who were trying to jump out of the wall. The figure also shouted: "I am the Holy Cult Protector 'Monkey King' Li Yanfeng! No one is allowed to leave the street today! Great Brightness Cult members! Intercept everyone for me—"

The thunderous voice spread towards both ends of the long street, extremely domineering.

The onlookers on the street who were dispersing heard the voice, but some didn't buy it, sneering in their mouths, "What 'Monkey King,' what is that..." Their pace did not stop.

Li Yanfeng's eyes looked over, and his figure ran quickly on the wall, suddenly jumping up and landing on the street. He saw his long staff waving and colliding, and the shadows of the staff swept across, knocking down a large area of the crowd running towards the street. Some people in the crowd were not convinced and rushed out, but were beaten back by the long staff. Two more people rushed out and were beaten back to the ground. Li Yanfeng stood there holding the staff, the front end of the staff pointed at the ground, and for a time no one dared to rush over there again.

In this short moment, another person rushed to the wall. The figure held a large knife and also spoke with the "Monkey King."

"I am 'Heavenly Saber' Tan Zheng! Several gangsters have assassinated Liu Guangshi's envoys and intend to escape. Innocent people should stand against the wall and not make noise to cause chaos, lest they fall into the trap of villains. After we investigate, we will send you away!"

"Heavenly Saber" Tan Zheng had been famous for a long time, and at this moment his voice was steady, deep, and unfathomable, and it spread far and wide on the long street.

If the "Monkey King" Li Yanfeng came out earlier and directly ordered everyone not to leave, showing his own dominance, then the "Heavenly Saber" Tan Zheng's words had already explained the whole story clearly. This majestic internal force made the Great Brightness Cult's domineering even more profound.

And with the appearance of the "Heavenly Saber," several other voices rang out.

"I am Jin Yongsheng from Baofeng Firm, acting on orders to protect everyone."

"I am under the command of 'High Heavenly King,' Guo Shengtian..."

"I am 'No Edge Sword' Wei He, I hope you will not fall into the trap of villains..."

"I am 'Flowery Fist' Chen Bian..."

At this moment, smoke and dust flew on the street. One by one, the figures of big men appeared on the wall or roof of the Golden Pavilion, and for a time they took away the momentum of hundreds of people up and down the long street and inside and outside the Golden Pavilion.

In recent days, the Green Forest people came to Jiangning, wanting to participate in the heroic moments that stirred people's hearts in various stories and storytelling. They even hoped that they could participate in it and become participants or witnesses of such heroic events.

And at this moment, heroes and giants from all walks of life gathered here. In this chaotic scene, the sense of impact and oppression was even more real and powerful. The "Monkey King" Li Yanfeng almost blocked half the street with his single stick, and the rest of the heroes stood up one after another. The will of the "King of Reincarnation," the "King of Equality," the "High Heavenly King," together with Dai Mengwei, Liu Guangshi, and other forces, descended here. Some Green Forest people who had not been involved understood that tomorrow, the grand occasion of this moment in the Golden Pavilion would spread throughout the Green Forest population in the city.

Some people calmed down in the smoke and dust and began to go to the street to wait, no longer running around. At the same time, naturally there were still a small number of people who were still running around looking for a way out. Someone laughed and even reported his name, rushing to Li Yanfeng, and was beaten black and blue.

Some of the pedestrians were beginning to disperse towards both sides of the street. Thunderclap fire was scattered again on one section of the street. This was an effort by the assassins mixed in the crowd to disrupt the situation again. But at this moment, the "Heavenly Saber" Tan Zheng on the high wall shouted violently and rushed down from the wall.

This saber master plunged into the smoke of the thunderclap fire like a fierce tiger. After a few clanging sounds, Tan Zheng grabbed a person and dragged him out. He stood at this end of the street and threw the blood-stained body on the ground, shouting: "A true man acts with integrity! Today, if you can pass the saber in Tan's hand, so what if I let you go!"

At the other end of the street, the "Monkey King" Li Yanfeng knocked another person down with his stick, majestic and indomitable.

The pressure of a group of masters for a moment was breathtaking, but naturally there were still some people on the long street who could not dodge and were rushing around. Yan Yunzhi noticed two men and women with steel whips running on the street. They rushed to one side, but Li Yanfeng seemed to recognize them, raised his stick and pointed at them. The two immediately turned around, and a small number of "Undying Guards" and "Grudge Gathering" members who came out of the courtyard surrounded them.

A tall man with a thick iron ruler and blood on his shoulder came towards the two from the courtyard gate of the Golden Pavilion. As he walked, he spoke: "Don't resist stubbornly, I guarantee you will be fine!" The man's words were sonorous and steady, and seemed to have a weight of a thousand pounds per word.

Yan Yunzhi naturally did not know that this person was Meng Zhuotao, who was in charge of the "Grudge Gathering" under the command of the "King of Reincarnation." After he beat the monk Tanji to death, his mind was shaken, and the four younger brothers and sisters immediately launched a sneak attack. The second senior brother Yu Bin moved the fastest, and the steel whip slammed down, hitting Meng Zhuotao's shoulder. At that moment, Meng Zhuotao almost could not stop and knocked the other party away with all his strength.

But the three subsequent younger brothers and sisters did not take advantage. After the fourth, who married the youngest junior sister Ling Chu, was subdued, the youngest junior brother pulled Ling Chu and fled to the outer street in the chaos. However, their martial arts and lightness skills were not high, and how could they really escape when they were being watched by everyone?

Meng Zhuotao walked over step by step, speaking as he approached.

"Listen carefully, the grudge between you and me is only a private matter. These assassins took advantage of the chaos to attack, it is not your fault. Fourth Junior Brother has been subdued by me, his injuries are not serious. As long as you don't mess around, I guarantee you can leave safely today!"

His majesty was profound, and these words approached with his footsteps, and there were Undying Guards surrounding him, which really made people feel difficult to resist.

The woman with the single whip shouted "Ah—".

She said, "Senior Brother, you said you were discussing Tao with my father, and you also said that you carried forward the Ling family's whip technique. Don't you know that the Ling family's whip technique would rather break than bend—"

Yan Yunzhi stood in the crowd by the road. She didn't know what the grudges of these people were, but hearing these words, her heart churned for a moment and she was moved.

Meng Zhuotao's footsteps paused slightly. He stood there, looked at the two of them for a moment, and then said to the side: "...Bring the fishing net."

The two seemed to have not expected Meng Zhuotao to say this, and were also stunned for a moment. Then the two turned around suddenly and rushed towards the "Monkey King" Li Yanfeng not far away.

Li Yanfeng's stick whistled and turned around.

"Please try to hold back, don't hurt them," Meng Zhuotao said to the other side.

"I have a sense of propriety," Li Yanfeng said. At this moment, the street where he was standing was wide after all. When he saw that the two people rushing over were going shoulder to shoulder, he laughed angrily and pointed his stick: "Run separately!"

The two rushed up and shouted: "Get out of the way—"

Li Yanfeng shook his head helplessly: "Really sick..."

The night wind blew, sweeping across the smoke and dust caused by the thunderclap fire on the long street. In the distance and near, small-scale riots and fights were continuing. Some people ran into the distance, fighting with the people guarding the street, and fled to a more distant place. Some people tried to climb into the surrounding shops or run towards the dark alleys. Some people ran to the Qinhuai River near the Golden Pavilion, but it seemed that someone was also shouting: "General Gao is here...lock the river..."

The envoy sent by Liu Guangshi was killed, which was no small matter in the city. The people on the "King of Reincarnation" side were trying their best to remedy, suppress the scene, and regain their prestige. However, among the crowd, how many people were unwilling to let the "King of Reincarnation" or Liu Guangshi have a good time?

Yan Yunzhi tried to think about all this calmly.

Another thunderclap fire flew out. In the crowd on this side, a figure rushed towards the battle between Li Yanfeng and the senior brothers and sisters holding double whips, and slashed a saber at Li Yanfeng. This was probably an assassin who had been hiding in the crowd before. Now he saw an opportunity, exchanged two moves with Li Yanfeng, and then quickly fled into the distance.

At the other end of the street, Chen Juefang, who had chased the first assassin far away, was whistling back.

That assassin was a master of lightness skill and was really powerful. After a successful assassination, he mocked Chen Juefang and dragged him to fight in the nearby buildings for a while, but now he had lost his trace. As a result, Chen Juefang was also shouting on the roof over there: "Block the river!" Then he summoned some of the Undying Guard members: "Surround this place for me—"

…

Signal fireworks were ringing one after another.

You Hongzhuo was observing everything in the darkness between the buildings.

As one Green Forest hero after another appeared and took action, and as some "King of Reincarnation" members arrived, the fighting before and after the long street had not subsided, but had decreased somewhat. If things went according to normal circumstances, perhaps in about half an incense stick, those who were running around on the road and climbing over the walls would be controlled.

But that was only normal circumstances.

The situation near the Golden Pavilion was complicated, and forces from all sides had infiltrated. At this moment, the people on the "King of Reincarnation" side made a fool of themselves. Who made this joke, what the other sides were thinking, no one knew. Maybe one side would pull out a group of people and kill them at this moment, publicly announcing that Gu Anhe was killed by me, I just don't like Liu Guangshi, and then fight even bigger.

Those without a background were running away on the streets below, and You Hongzhuo could feel that more people, just like him, were standing in the darkness, peeking at all this.

He was watching Chen Juefang.

He was not very interested in the identity of the previous assassin. Apart from Fourth Brother Kuang Wenbai as a surprise, "Heavenly Saber" Tan Zheng was an object of challenge sooner or later. What he had to kill in the past two days was this "Cold Crow" Chen Juefang.

Miao Zheng on the "King of Reincarnation" side had to rely on Wei Xuwen because of Liang Si's connection. Later, Wei Xuwen set a trap to try to capture An Xifu. Soon after failing, Miao Zheng returned to Chen Juefang and was killed by Chen Juefang... The relationship between them was intriguing, but of course, You Hongzhuo didn't like to delve into it.

But according to An Xifu, Liang Si itself had some problems and needed to be enlightened.

How could You Hongzhuo enlighten him?

After thinking for a long time, he had to come over and kill Chen Juefang.

According to the previous observations, his lightness skill was not as good as the other party's. The current situation was complicated, and perhaps it was not the best time to assassinate... The most important thing was that he could not understand the thoughts of the others on this street. In terms of the possibility of success, this assassination was best to wait until tonight when the other party presided over the arrest and was more tired...

Thinking about these things, he looked at Chen Juefang, who was issuing orders on the roof of the wooden building in front, and his figure quickly ran back.

And at this moment, his eyes moved slightly and he noticed a silhouette slowly moving forward in the darkness on the second floor over there.

Chen Juefang waved his long whip and borrowed strength from the corner of the eaves of a building, his body swinging down.

You Hongzhuo shook his head.

But the figure lurking in the darkness opposite had already greeted Chen Juefang, the long sword passing through the sky, reflecting the fire.

--Peacock Bright King Seven Spread Wings!

You Hongzhuo squatted down, exerting force suddenly, and rushed out towards the other side!

Liang Si had the most experience on the battlefield. She had not been sent out like her righteous brothers to mix in the rivers and lakes and plunder money to subsidize the army. Therefore, she did not understand that people like Chen Juefang were still very vigilant in the current environment. Maybe it was the highest moment.

The long sword waved and slashed at Chen Juefang, and then the fierce sound of metal collision was emitted in mid-air, and fire splashed in the air. Chen Juefang blocked the opponent's sword with his saber, and his other hand pulled the long whip, his body braced and turned in mid-air, crashing into the wall of the wooden building. Then his legs stomped on the wall with all his strength, throwing him towards Liang Si, who was in mid-air and was falling to the street.

At this moment, You Hongzhuo's figure had rushed from not far away with all his strength, and the tiles on the eaves of the second floor along the way shattered.

And on the other side of this house, Qiu Changying, the "Soul-Breaking Spear" who was patrolling here, was almost subconsciously attracted and ran across the roof.

Above the long street.

Chen Juefang's saber slashed down on Liang Si.

You Hongzhuo's figure burst into the air, and the saber light in his hand bloomed like lightning, slashing towards Chen Juefang's head.

On one side, Qiu Changying's spear point pierced out.

You Hongzhuo was in mid-air, his left arm waved upwards, hitting the body of the long spear. His figure fell as a result, his saber collided with Chen Juefang's in an instant. He waved a large circle in the air, and exchanged blows with the saber and the long spear twice again...

Various riots of varying sizes were still continuing on the street. The four figures almost suddenly jumped out over the long street. In mid-air, there were several clanging sounds. The figures smashed and rolled in different directions. Two pedestrians who had not been able to dodge were knocked to the ground by the famous "Cold Crow" Chen Juefang. A small cart that had not had time to close was smashed by an unknown figure, and debris and water splashed on the side of the street.

Many people's eyes were attracted by this scene.

Liang Si and You Hongzhuo's bodies rolled on the ground a few times, dissipating the force, and stood up. Chen Juefang suffered You Hongzhuo's bottom-of-the-box fierce knife in mid-air, and was almost beheaded. He was in a hurry to resist and fell in a mess, but he buffered most of his strength by smashing into two pedestrians.

Qiu Changying made two shots in the air, which was not troublesome, so he landed relatively free and easy. He just rolled on the spot and stood up, shouting: "I am 'Soul-Breaking Spear' Qiu Changying, who are you two, sneaking around, dare to report your names!"

You Hongzhuo retreated to the rear. His shoulder was pierced by the other party's spear, and he used great strength in mid-air. When he landed, he broke the small cart and was the most seriously injured. At this time, he tried his best to adjust his breath and said in a low voice: "If you want to escape, don't choose the river side, they have prepared fishing nets."

Liang Si stood with him: "I'll fight, you try to escape."

You Hongzhuo had already rushed towards Chen Juefang.

Life and death were at stake, he could not save his strength...

…

At the moment when the four masters fell from the sky at the end of the long street, Yan Yunzhi, who was trying to leave, saw Jin Yongsheng, the senior treasurer of Baofeng Firm, not far in front of the road.

The thunderclap fire released by the assassin who had tried to escape under the "Monkey King's" stick earlier made the surrounding smoke and dust linger, and many people on the roadside were choked and coughed, and some were running into the distance. The fleeing killer was intercepted by several Undying Guard members in front of him and was fighting. Among the two men and women who used steel whips, the man had been knocked to the ground by Li Yanfeng, and had been caught with a fishing net. The woman was fighting desperately in her shouts. Li Yanfeng was holding a stick with one hand and just smashed the other party's steel whip a few times at will. It was considered to give Meng Zhuotao a face, teasing the woman.

Some "Undying Guard" and "Grudge Gathering" members shouted at the crowd on the roadside not to move, but in fact, the orders were issued relatively chaotically. Some asked people to stand, and some ordered everyone to squat. In the midst of coughing, there were also small-scale conflicts.

Yan Yunzhi had already seen Li Yanfeng's power. In such a smoky occasion, she had an opportunity to make a move, but the chances of winning were slim, and she wanted to take this opportunity to leave. An Undying Guard member blocked her in front, wielding a knife and trying to chop someone. Yan Yunzhi approached him in one step, knocking the other party to the ground with fierce but also as neat as possible moves.

She took a few steps forward. At this moment, she heard someone falling to the ground in the fight in the night sky at the other end of the street. She did not look back, and when she took the next step, she saw Jin Yongsheng.

This senior treasurer of Baofeng Firm with the character number put a hand behind his back and looked at her with a deep smile. She realized that it was too late to turn around without incident.

Yan Yunzhi's hands pressed on the sword handle.

Jin Yongsheng said: "I didn't expect Miss Yan to be here too. It's chaotic here, let the old man go back with you."

Yan Yunzhi shook her head.

Her figure moved backwards, disappearing into the smoke.

Jin Yongsheng sighed. Then, he roared and came.

…

At this moment of retreating into the smoke, Yan Yunzhi had a trace of confusion. She didn't know if she should now try her best to assassinate Li Yanfeng next to her, or deal with the treasurer Jin and try to escape.

This thought only appeared for a moment. She was about to draw her sword and rush out when she heard a voice ringing in her ear: "This is trouble..."

This voice seemed calm and gentle. As the voice rang out, a hand pressed on her shoulder.

On her side, someone lifted the cloak on her body.

Appearing behind her and beside her were the brothers who had saved her that day, He Ping and He Yun. At this time, Da Ping was standing behind her, and Xiao Yun had already lifted the cloak next to her.

Jin Yongsheng roared and came.

Waiting for him was an extremely fierce

--Fist.
