Chapter 11 They Made Their Move

As the large group of gang members threw their flying axes, the coachman instantly pulled out his saber and with a flash of light, severed the two shafts of the carriage. The shafts were made of thick, sturdy wood, so to cut through them so easily showed the coachman's skill with the blade. At the same time, the coachman lashed the horses with his whip.

Neigh~~~

The steed whinnied and charged forward, its hooves pounding on the waterlogged street, blindly rushing toward the approaching gang members.

"Protect the young master!" The guards with their swords and shields followed the head guard's roar, huddling close to the carriage, shields raised. The fifteen guards protected the carriage tightly.

"Shua."

A window in the carriage was slightly opened, revealing iron bars. Chang Yi and his personal maid, Qingyu, watched the outside world through the windows on either side. They saw the dense rain of axes falling! But neither of them seemed concerned.

"Peng peng peng!!!" Over a hundred axes rained down on the area, some landing on the empty ground around the carriage, some blocked by the fifteen guards' shields, and some striking the carriage itself.

After all, the guards couldn't protect every part of the carriage. A dozen or so axes were embedded in the roof, but the carriage remained intact.

Chang Yi, who valued his life above all else, had long since modified the carriage! The carriage appeared to be made of wood, but it was lined with thick iron plates! Only the windows had iron bars. The flying axes barely penetrated the wood and couldn't move the inner layer of iron.

"Now it's up to the three of them," Chang Yi said softly.

His voice was very soft, but Xu Jingming, Mr. Lu, and Miss Zi Teng, who possessed cellular-level control, could all hear him. Facing the flying axes, they merely shifted their feet slightly, and the axes all passed them by, without touching them.

"Pu."

As the horse charged towards the gang members, a flying axe shot out like lightning, instantly cleaving into the horse's head. The steed immediately collapsed, rolled twice, and then fell silent.

The gang leader who threw the axe pointed at the carriage. "Kill!"

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"

The two large groups of gang members in front and behind roared in unison, charging towards the carriage in the center.

Many pedestrians who had retreated to a distance, as well as customers in the tea houses along the street, cautiously watched the street brawl!

"Miss, be careful. With a brawl of this scale, there might be hidden weapons flying around," an old man warned carefully from beside the railing on the second floor of a tea house. The young woman watched with great interest. "Wow, hundreds of people attacking that small group in the carriage! This kind of brawl is rare."

"It's also dangerous," the old man said.

"Aren't those hundreds of people from the Hua Yue Gang?" the young woman immediately said. "Wasn't the Hua Yue Gang leader that white-haired old man who went to our house last month?"

"It's best to avoid getting involved with these gang members. We have to be careful about what we say," the old man reminded, but he wasn't worried, because the private room they were in had already been booked, and it was difficult for others to hear their conversation. And even if they did, their family had nothing to fear.

The young woman watched the great battle with excitement.

...

Xu Jingming, Mr. Lu, and Zi Teng exchanged glances. They usually sparred and discussed how to cooperate when encountering enemies.

Xu Jingming pulled out the two sections of his long spear from his back. He twisted them together, and with a click, they locked into place. The burly and tall Mr. Lu instantly took out two circular bladed wheels from his back, holding one in each hand. The circular bladed wheels were very thin and extremely sharp, able to cut anything they touched.

"Kill the leader first," Miss Zi Teng said coldly.

"Let's go." As soon as Xu Jingming spoke, his figure suddenly moved, charging ahead.

Miss Zi Teng and Mr. Lu were on his left and right, covering his flanks.

The three of them moved, turning into blurred afterimages! Heading straight for the gang leader!

"They're moving."

Young Master Chang Yi and his maid, Qingyu, watched through the iron-barred window. He had spent the money, and now it was time to see the results.

On the other side, as the leader led a group of gang members charging through the water, he noticed Xu Jingming and his companions rushing towards them. He didn't panic and immediately shouted, "They're first-rate experts! Surround and kill them!" As long as they reached cellular-level control, they were considered first-rate experts, and their speed was on par with Xu Jingming and the others.

The so-called third-rate, second-rate, and first-rate experts weren't that far apart in terms of basic combat power, only the 'combat bonus' was significantly different!

One side had a dense crowd of one hundred and eighty people, while the other had only three!

The two sides charged head-on!

"Flying Chains!" The leader watched the three approaching at high speed and gave the order at the right moment.

More than a dozen gang members stepped forward to throw chains. These elite gang members had all mastered the 'Flying Chains' skill. But just as they were about to throw them, Zi Teng, on Xu Jingming's left, suddenly flicked her hands.

Shua shua shua shua shua shua...

Shadows that were difficult to see with the naked eye flew out, making it impossible to see what she had thrown. In reality, they were super-fast flying needles! The elite gang members who were about to throw the flying chains were pierced through the head, a dozen of them killed with a single needle each!

So fast, so accurate, it was almost miraculous.

Although Xu Jingming also carried throwing knives, his throwing skills were far inferior to those of Miss Zi Teng.

"She's a second-rate expert." The leader's face changed, and he immediately roared, "Kill that woman first!"

Second-rate experts were already rare.

If they joined a large gang like the Hua Yue Gang, they would generally be at the level of a hall master or deputy hall master. Among all the elite gang members they had today, not one was a second-rate expert! However, the leader still didn't panic. They had an absolute advantage in numbers, and several of their core members were 'third-rate experts'.

"Hua." The gang members looked ferocious, and none of them retreated. The price of retreating was something they couldn't bear. They held their swords and shields, surging like a tide, wanting to drown Xu Jingming and the others! Among the tide of gang members, there were also more than a few hidden third-rate experts!

Slash! Slash!

Mr. Lu held two bladed wheels, rotating them, instantly cutting through the vital points of the charging gang members! Even if they carefully protected their heads with shields, the bladed wheels still passed over their waists and other areas, splitting their bodies in two.

Mr. Lu harvested at will, even throwing the bladed wheels in his hands. The two bladed wheels rotated at super speed, cutting in all directions! Even the sturdy shields were cut open! After the two thrown bladed wheels stirred up a rain of blood, they were stopped by a series of shields.

At this moment, Mr. Lu threw out another two bladed wheels, holding the fifth bladed wheel in his hand, while also starting to retrieve the bladed wheels that had lost momentum.

Five bladed wheels, three flying outside, and two in his hands! Their coordination was unpredictable!

At Mr. Lu's level, with the force of his explosions reaching tens of thousands of pounds, combined with his exquisite bladed wheel techniques, he was a nightmare! He was best at slaughter, and the blood splattered and mixed with the rain.

However, among the three...

Xu Jingming was the 'arrowhead', the one facing the greatest pressure! He needed to break through the tide of gang members, and his single spear parted the crowd, splitting the wave in two, unable to stop their advance.

"Chop them to death!" The gang leader's face was twisted. The gang members held their shields in one hand and their sabers in the other, surging forward like a tide, slashing their sabers! As long as they could land a single blow... they could kill these so-called first-rate experts. Because everyone in the world, no matter who they were, was made of flesh and blood, and could be killed with a single blow!
