When the large group of gang members threw out their flying axes, the coachman instantly drew the saber from his waist. A flash of light later, he had chopped through two shafts. The shafts were made of thick, sturdy wood, so to cut through them so easily proved the coachman’s extraordinary swordsmanship. At the same time, the coachman lashed out his whip fiercely, striking the horse’s rump.

Neigh~~~

The steed cried out, immediately charging forward, its hooves trampling the waterlogged street as it blindly raced toward the gang members.

“Protect the young master!” The guards with their swords and shields, led by their captain, roared as they moved closer to the carriage, raising their shields. The fifteen guards protected the carriage tightly.

“Whoosh.”

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 of the carriage. They immediately saw the dense array of axes falling! But neither of them cared.

“Bang, bang, bang!!!” More than a hundred axes completely blanketed the area, some landing on the ground around the carriage, some blocked by the shields of the fifteen guards, and some hitting the carriage itself.

After all, the guards could not protect every part of the carriage. For example, more than a dozen axes were stuck in the wooden planks of the roof, but the carriage remained intact.

Chang Yi, who cherished his life above all else, had long ago modified the carriage! The exterior of the carriage appeared to be made of wood, but the inside was thick iron plating! Only the window openings were iron bars. These flying axes barely broke through the wood, unable to shake the inner layer of iron.

“Now it’s up to the three of them to show their strength,” Chang Yi said softly.

His voice was very soft, but Xu Jingming, Mr. Lü, and Miss Zi Teng, who could control their bodies down to the cellular level, could all hear him. Facing the flying axes, the three of them merely shifted their feet slightly, and the axes all brushed past them without touching them in the slightest.

“Pfft.”

As the horse charged toward the gang members, a flying axe shot out like lightning, instantly splitting open the horse’s head. The steed immediately fell to the ground, rolled twice, and was still.

The gang leader, who had thrown that axe, pointed at the carriage from afar. “Kill!”

“Kill!” “Kill!” “Kill!”

The two large groups of gang members in front and behind roared simultaneously, all charging toward the carriage in the center.

Many pedestrians who had hidden in the distance, and some customers in the teahouses along the street, cautiously watched this street brawl!

“Miss, be careful. In a brawl of this scale, there might be hidden weapons flying around,” an old man carefully reminded from beside the railing on the second floor of a teahouse. The young woman watched with great interest. “Wow, hundreds of people are attacking the few people in the carriage! It’s rare to see a brawl of this scale.”

“It’s also dangerous,” the old man said.

“Aren’t those hundreds of people from the Flower Moon Gang?” the young woman immediately said. “Wasn’t the Flower Moon Gang leader the white-haired old man who went to our house last month?”

“We should avoid provoking these gang members as much as possible. We need to be careful about what we say,” the old man cautioned. But he wasn’t worried, because the private room they were in had already been reserved, and it was difficult for others to hear their conversation clearly. And even if they did hear, their family had nothing to fear.

The young woman excitedly watched the battle.

…

Xu Jingming, Mr. Lü, and Zi Teng exchanged glances. They usually had simple sparring sessions and discussed how to cooperate when encountering enemies.

Xu Jingming pulled out the two sections of the long spear behind his back. He connected the spear and twisted it. *Click*. It was locked in place. The burly and tall Mr. Lü instantly took out the two circular saber-wheels from behind his back, holding one in each hand. The circular saber-wheels were very thin and extremely sharp; even a graze would cut open flesh.

“Kill the leader first,” Miss Zi Teng said coldly.

“Let’s go.” As soon as Xu Jingming spoke, his figure moved abruptly, charging to the front.

Miss Zi Teng and Mr. Lü, one on the left and one on the right, were on Xu Jingming’s flanks.

With a movement of their feet, the three of them turned into blurred afterimages! They headed straight for the gang leader’s position!

“They’re moving.”

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

On the other side, the leader led a group of gang members, stomping through the accumulated water as they charged forward. When he saw Xu Jingming and the other two rushing up to meet them, he didn’t panic at all. He immediately shouted, “They are entry-level experts! Surround and kill them!” As long as one reached cellular-level control, they were entry-level experts, and their speed was on the same level as Xu Jingming and the others.

The so-called third-rate, second-rate, and first-rate experts didn’t differ much in basic combat strength, only in their ‘combat bonuses’!

One side was densely packed with a hundred and eighty people, while the other side had only three!

The two sides charged head-on!

“Flying chains!” The leader, watching the three people approaching at super speed, seized the opportunity and gave the order.

Immediately, more than a dozen gang members stepped forward, ready to throw out their chains. These elite gang members had all mastered the special skill of ‘flying chains’. But just as they were about to throw them, Miss Zi Teng, on Xu Jingming’s left, seemingly still empty-handed, suddenly flicked her hands.

*Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo…*

Shadows that were difficult to discern with the naked eye flew out, making it impossible to see what had been thrown. In reality, they were ultra-high-speed flying needles! Those elite gang members who were about to throw the flying chains were pierced through the head, one after another. In a single exchange, more than a dozen gang members were pierced through the head, each one killed with a single needle!

So fast, so precise, it was practically divine.

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

“She’s a second-rate expert.” The leader’s expression changed. He immediately roared, “Kill that woman first!”

Second-rate experts were already very rare.

If they joined a large gang like the Flower Moon Gang, they would generally be at the level of hall master or deputy hall master. Among so many elite gang members today, not one was a second-rate expert! However, the leader was still not flustered. They had an absolute advantage in numbers, and also had several core members who were ‘third-rate experts’.

“Swarm!” The faces of many gang members were ferocious. Not one 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! And hidden within this tide of gang members were more than a few third-rate experts!

*Tear! Tear!*

Mr. Lü wielded two saber-wheels. As the saber-wheels rotated, the vital points of the gang members who pounced on him were instantly sliced through! Even those who carefully protected their heads with shields had their waists sliced through by the saber-wheels, splitting their bodies in two.

Mr. Lü reaped lives wantonly, even throwing the saber-wheels in his hands. The two saber-wheels rotated at super speed, cutting in all directions! Even sturdy shields were cut open! The two saber-wheels that were thrown out stirred up a rain of blood before their momentum was stopped by a series of shields.

At this moment, Mr. Lü threw out another two saber-wheels, holding the fifth saber-wheel in his hand, while also beginning to retrieve the saber-wheels that had run out of momentum.

Five saber-wheels, three flying outside, two in his hand! The coordination was unpredictable!

At Mr. Lü's level, with an explosive force of tens of thousands of pounds, combined with exquisite saber-wheel skills, he was simply a nightmare! His specialty was slaughter, the blood of the slaughtered mixing with the rain.

However, among the three…

Xu Jingming was the ‘arrowhead’, facing the greatest pressure among the three! He needed to break through the tide of gang members, and his one spear parted the surging crowd, dividing it in two, unable to stop the three of them in the slightest.

“Hack them to death!” The gang leader’s face was ferocious. The gang members held shields in one hand and sabers in the other, slashing wildly as they surged forward like a tide! As long as they could land a single blow… they could kill these so-called entry-level experts. Because everyone in the world, no matter who they were, had bodies of flesh and blood, and could be killed with a single slash!
