108: One against twenty, win!
“Hey, hey, hey, protect the environment! Don't litter.”
Fu Liang even thoughtfully handed each person a trash bag. Everyone took it and threw their melon seed shells inside.
The Shennong City group had already discussed their strategy in a few words.
Lu Ze still held the saber hilt in his right hand, the saber itself not yet drawn from its sheath!
“Charge!”
With Fan Nian's command, eight people were the first to rush forward!
These eight people, wielding heavy weapons, were slower than the others but formed a defensive front. The remaining twelve advanced slowly under their cover, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Fan Nian, meanwhile, was in the midst of them, directing left and right!
Lu Ze immediately spotted Fan Nian's core position and fixed his gaze on her. “Oh, the commander, is it?”
The Shennong City group swept to within ten meters of Lu Ze. Fan Nian suddenly shouted, “Attack!”
Everyone who had been hidden behind the eight people rushed out, immediately unleashing all their techniques, and charged towards Lu Ze!
Countless sword and saber shadows filled the sky, raining down, almost completely surrounding Lu Ze!
“Too slow.”
Lu Ze spoke calmly as the sword and saber shadows closed in on him.
Just as they were about to strike Lu Ze, he suddenly vanished!
“Bang, bang, bang!”
All the attacks landed on the ground! Everyone who had charged out also stopped, landing where Lu Ze had just been, looking left and right.
“What?!”
Fan Nian's eyes widened, utterly shocked!
She had been tracking Lu Ze the entire time. If he made even the slightest movement, she would know instantly and direct her forces!
But despite that, Lu Ze had vanished as if into thin air!
How did he do that?!
Lu Ze was clearly at Fourth Grade Lesser Completion cultivation, just like her!
How could he disappear so easily without her noticing?!
“When all combat power is unleashed, the one who dies should be the commander.”
Lu Ze's voice suddenly sounded behind Fan Nian. Her pupils instantly constricted, and her body stiffened.
The voice was so close that Fan Nian could even feel Lu Ze's breath.
How could Lu Ze have moved behind her?! She was completely unaware?!
Fan Nian's mind raced. She gripped her folding fan, and several short swords emerged from it. She then spun around rapidly, raising the fan, aiming to cut Lu Ze's throat!
But before the fan could fully extend, a sword, imbued with surging Spiritual Qi, suddenly thrust forward, striking her hard in the stomach!
“Pfft!”
Fan Nian felt her blood and Qi churn from the blow. Her internal organs felt displaced and ached. Blood gushed uncontrollably from her mouth, and the hand holding the fan lost all strength. With a clatter, the fan fell to the ground.
Lu Ze applied a little force, using the sword to lift Fan Nian directly.
The rest of the Shennong City group also noticed Lu Ze's location at this moment.
“Save Fan Nian!”
One person shouted, and the others moved at the sound.
“Idiots.”
Lu Ze sneered, swung the sword casually, and Fan Nian was thrown off the platform.
“Starry Sky Saber Technique, solidify!”
Lu Ze spoke calmly, and dozens of stars appeared around the Shennong City group.
Everyone thought these were some kind of killing weapon from Lu Ze, and they were all timid, not daring to touch even a single star. But because of this, their movements slowed considerably!
The stars suddenly dimmed. Just as everyone was about to quicken their pace, several Saber Qi streaks shot out from the dimmed areas. Many were forced back by these Saber Qi, falling off the platform. Some, unable to resist the Saber Qi, were wounded within a few breaths.
Lu Ze moved like a flash of lightning, weaving among the crowd.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
A series of dull thuds sounded as all the Shennong City members were knocked off the platform!
The Saber Qi vanished, and on the platform, not a single person from Shennong City remained standing.
One against twenty, Lu Ze, complete victory!
Shen Zexing's hands were tightly clenched as he watched those who had been knocked off the platform. His heart was filled with frustration. He looked up and saw Lu Ze standing there with his saber, looking down at him.
For some reason, Shen Zexing felt a pressure at this moment. Lu Ze standing there was like a stabilizing force, giving an infinite sense of oppression even when standing still!
Was this Xuanyuan City's Gengsi Class number one?!
Was this Cheng Ran's Disciple?!
Was this the person who defeated an Inspector and shocked all Municipal Demon Subduing Division higher-ups overnight?!
It was at this moment that Shen Zexing suddenly believed it.
Perhaps Lu Ze really did defeat the Inspector with his own strength.
In mid-air, Meng Yanxing finally laughed triumphantly. He even took out his phone, recorded a video, and then sent it as a file to someone named “Xiong Hao.”
After watching the video process and successfully send, he sent another message: “Old Xiong, really, these youngsters are truly full of youthful vigor. They don't know how to be careful when they strike. One person actually knocked all twenty of your Shennong City people off the stage. Really, they didn't even leave one on the platform to make it look better. Remember to have your medical personnel ready, otherwise your little ones from Shennong City might be bedridden for a few days.”
After sending it, it quickly showed that the recipient received the file, but there was no reply for a long time.
Meng Yanxing didn't care in the slightest; the triumphant smile on his face grew even wider. Then he put away his phone.
Shennong City had been suppressing Xuanyuan City for so many years; it was time for a comeback!
Lu Ze's round was a beautiful victory!
“This round, Xuanyuan City wins!”
Meng Yanxing's voice, filled with surging Spiritual Qi, carried out of the Demon Subduing Division, and even most of Xuanyuan City heard it!
From the moment the Shennong City people entered Xuanyuan City territory, the news had spread throughout Xuanyuan City.
Everyone in the streets and alleys knew that after more than a decade, the two Municipal Demon Subduing Divisions were about to compete again!
The people of Xuanyuan City were very invested in this competition. Aside from Demon Subduing Division members without missions who could watch on-site, everyone else could only await the results.
The most discussed topic in the city today was the competition between the two!
At this moment, Meng Yanxing's powerful voice spread, bringing immense joy to everyone!
“We won! We finally won!”
“Damn it! I knew it, our Xuanyuan City is no worse than their Shennong City!”
“It's been over ten years! We've finally avenged ourselves! Quick! Put up a sign outside, our pancake shop is 30% off today, no, 50% off! And find someone to make a banner to hang outside the shop! What should it say? Nonsense, of course, it should say that our Xuanyuan City defeated Shennong City!”
Cheers and shouts of joy spread through the streets and alleys of Xuanyuan City. Everyone in Xuanyuan City had waited too long for this victory.
Fu Liang and the others also stood up, collected their trash bags, and walked over to Lu Ze.
“Young Master Lu, you worked hard.”
Everyone's faces were beaming with joy. To defeat twenty opponents alone, they had done it. In their hearts, Lu Ze was already a powerful expert they could never hope to reach in their lifetime!
In mid-air, Meng Yanxing glanced down. “The second round of the competition will be tomorrow. To continue fighting today would be taking advantage of their weakened state.”
Indeed, all of Shennong City's people were defeated and injured. If the competition continued, they would have no chance of winning and might even find excuses about being in poor condition for the next two rounds.
Meng Yanxing would not give the other side any chance to make excuses. This time, he was going to win fair and square, crushing them!
