Chapter Ninety-Six: Initiation
(2nd Update)
Zhang Zhaozhong's return was extremely efficient, and it only took an hour to go and return. At the same time, one after another orders began to spread rapidly throughout Shengjing City.
At about noon in the afternoon, except for Ma Kongqun, the hall master of the "Wanma Hall" who had returned to the gang, and the envoy of the "Divine Spear Society", the remaining heads of the gang, the gang leaders and other martial arts people who obeyed the orders of Ximen Muye were all summoned, and together with the Imperial Forest Army and the Imperial City Guards in Shengjing, they all gathered in the alliance leader's mansion.
Immediately, according to the information that Zhang Zhaozhong learned from the gang, all the men and horses were divided into two groups, one side was led by Zhang Zhaozhong, and went straight to Sanliji outside the north city gate, and the other team was led by Chu Zhaonan, with a thunderous momentum, attacking Chenjiapu outside the west gate.
These two places are close to the Shengjing City Pool, only a few miles away from the city wall, but they are mixed with dragons and snakes, full of merchants and homeless people, and there are quite a variety of self-built houses and wine shops, although they are not put in the eyes of the dignitaries and nobles in the city, but it is undoubtedly a very convenient hiding place.
If it weren't for the close enough attention of those participating gangs, with the thinking of martial arts masters such as Zhang Zhaozhong and Chu Zhaonan, I am afraid that they would never have thought of searching such a messy place. But now that they have learned about it, the two will not deliberately shirk it, and immediately gather their men and horses to attack quickly, and they will definitely wipe out the enemy before the other party reacts!
At this moment, if someone looks down from the air, I believe they will be able to see a scene that will never be forgotten.
In the north wind of early winter, two dark gray dragons were speeding towards the west and north at an alarming speed. The martial arts masters, who are usually high, are just an insignificant part of this long dragon at the moment, and they are carried forward by the Praetorian Guards and the Imperial Forest Iron Cavalry, and they do not regain their usual arrogance.
In order to enrich the combat power of both sides, the two Taoist leaders of the Qingcheng faction, who have good strength, were placed in the two groups of people. On Chu Zhaonan's side, there were "Lian Emei" companions, while Zhang Zhaozhong's side brought the "Ochre Shan Army" with him.
The rest of the people, because of their weak combat power and uneven strength, chose to join on their own side.
Among them, Tian Guinong, the head of the "Tianlongmen" who has had several contacts with Zhao Fan in the past few days, and his follower, the leader of the Liaodong Beggars Gang, knew that this trip was led by Zhang Zhaozhong, so he did not hesitate to join the team to the north, intending to follow Zhang Zhaozhong to show his prestige in tonight's action and grab some merits.
Zhang Zhaozhong and Zhao Fan understood what these people had in their hearts, but for the two sneaky conspirators, these subordinates who were too active were really quite an eyesore, and they couldn't wait for them to disappear.
Fortunately, after a scuffle, there was naturally a chance to get rid of the entanglement of these guys, so the two didn't care too much, just urged all the way, and after a while, the destination Sanlipu was already in sight!
At this moment, the distance was only half a mile away, and with Zhang Zhaozhong's skills, it was naturally enough to see the movement over there. Even if nearly 100 people have driven in front of them, there is still a lively scene in the Sanlipu not far away, except for some peripheral crowds who discovered the team here and unconsciously became vigilant, several targets that should appear have not been revealed at all.
"Hmph! It seems that they didn't have time to run away, and in that case, they will not be able to fly tonight!"
Sitting on the horse and smiling coldly, Zhang Zhaozhong waved his hand violently, and the fifty Imperial City guards immediately stepped forward, waved the horsewhip in their hands, and whipped down at the unknown passers-by.
Regarding this brutal scene, as a modern person in the civilized era, Zhao Fan naturally couldn't see it, gritted his teeth slightly, and wanted to find a reason to stop such atrocities.
But the next moment, Zhao Fan was surprised to find that he didn't need to say more.
As far as the eye can see, those passers-by who were confused just now seem to be ten times more intelligent at this moment.
In just the moment when the rabbit rose and fell, the four passers-by turned into terrifying killing gods, and with just one face, they slaughtered nine of the guards on the horse!
"What?
Tian Guinong, who was standing on the sidelines, saw this scene, and the long sword in his hand suddenly came out of its sheath, blooming with awe-inspiring brilliance, and with one arrow step, it rushed towards the four of them. However, in the ears of Zhao Fan, who was listening to the side, the word "master" seemed to be a little too harsh.
There is no other reason, just because when Zhao Fan opened the ability of the "Martial Artist's Pupil", the cultivation of the four "masters" in front of him has been exposed, even among the second-rate, it is not up to the grade, it is the four weakest among the many martial artists in Zhao Wangfu - the disciple of the "Ghost Gate Dragon King" Sha Tongtian "Four Ghosts of the Yellow River"!
When he entered the city that day, Zhao Fan also calculated that he wanted to use these people as a vote, and at this moment, seeing Tian Guinong openly robbing monsters, he naturally felt dissatisfied.
But the next moment, something even more surprising happened to him.
Na Tian Gui Nong's skill was far superior to that of the "Four Ghosts of the Yellow River", and as soon as he was engaged, he had already gained a huge advantage.
However, in the blink of an eye, the "Four Ghosts of the Yellow River" had already regained the initiative with their wonderful formation. Among them, Shen Qinggang's "Soul Breaking Knife" Shen Qinggang was the most sharp offensive, relying on the full protection of the three junior brothers, he was able to only attack but not defend, and in just a few moves, Tian Guinong was injured again and again, and even the handsome and dashing face was inevitably crossed by the blade, and it was hung on the spot!
"That's enough, step down!"
Seeing that Tian Guinong was fighting more and more wolves, even if Zhao Fan hated this person no matter how much he hated this person, he felt impatient at this moment, and immediately shouted, and the whole person swept like an arrow, with the "wind" of "Qingcheng Mianzhang", he rushed up quickly, and in just a moment, he had already crossed the retreating Tian Guinong, and quickly killed in front of the "Four Ghosts of the Yellow River"!
This move takes advantage of speed, and the end is extremely abrupt, and it is even more powerful.
The "Four Ghosts of the Yellow River" was originally killed, and they were about to slaughter the little white face who made the sword, but Zhao Fan's fierce offensive had already hit in front of him, and he was caught off guard, and he didn't even have time to swing the formation, so he could only cross the four blades and block Zhao Fan's incoming move with all his might!
However, although they reacted quickly, their strength was indeed far behind.
When it was too late, it was too fast, only to hear a loud "bang", and the four ghosts of the Yellow River couldn't hold the blades in their hands, and they all spurted blood from their mouths and flew away like cannonballs.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The four of them flew upside down in the air, crashing straight into the buildings on the periphery of Sanlipu, and disappeared in an instant, only to make a series of chaotic sounds of wooden walls bursting and cups and plates toppling.
