115: The Battle of the Wang Family

In a peaceful and tranquil land, the Wang Family Villa was like a hidden paradise, where the common folk lived and worked in peace, enjoying total serenity.

However, this tranquility was shattered by a burst of ill-intentioned clamor.

The fat monk Jiese approached the villa aggressively, leading a group of ferocious and evil monks.

Jiese was extremely burly, built like a small mountain with a face full of fatty flesh that radiated ruthlessness.

His gaze fixed greedily on the Wang Family Villa, as if it hidden endless treasures just waiting for him to plunder.

Most importantly, he had once pursued the stunning beauty, Wang Ajiao.

"Great Beauty, I'm coming!"

"The wish I once had shall be fulfilled today!"

"The humiliation I once suffered shall be repaid today!"

Jiese wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth.

Behind him, the evil monks each held sabers, axes, and clubs, with bows and arrows hanging from their waists, looking extremely menacing.

"Big brother, you shouldn't call yourself Jiese anymore!"

"Then what should I be called?"

"Change it to Jiese!"

The group of thugs burst into laughter... In the distance, nearly a hundred dark shadows slowly moved toward them.

The sentries on the Wang Family city walls had long since reported the news to Wang Jiacheng and Old Gourd.

Old Gourd reacted swiftly upon receiving the news.

Knowing full well that these evil monks came with ill intent, he decisively gathered everyone in the villa capable of fighting and ascended the walls to prepare for the foreign invasion.

Standing on the wall with a steady gaze and a resonant voice, Old Gourd encouraged the crowd: "Folks, these evil monks want to seize our home. We must never let them succeed!"

"As long as we work together, we can definitely hold the villa!"

The crowd responded one after another, their morale soaring.

The evil monks were the first to launch an attack, drawing their bows and sending a dense rain of arrows toward the walls.

Seeing this, Old Gourd shouted loudly, "Everyone, take cover! Use your shields to block!"

The people in the villa quickly raised their shields, and the rain of arrows struck the shields with a series of thuds.

Once the rain of arrows subsided slightly, Old Gourd gave the command: "Counterattack!"

The archers of the Wang Family Villa appeared, drawing their bows and firing arrows at the evil monks.

For a moment, arrows fell like rain from the walls, and many of the evil monks were hit and fell to the ground.

Seeing that the bows could not gain an advantage, Jiese brandished his Buddhist staff and roared, "Charge! Use your cleavers to hack open the gates for me!"

The evil monks shouted and brandished their weapons, charging toward the gates.

Old Gourd hurriedly directed the crowd to throw stones and boiling oil down from the walls.

The evil monks shrieked as they were struck, yet they did not retreat, continuing to approach the gates.

As the evil monks drew closer to the gates, the defense on the walls became even more intense.

The people of the Wang Family Villa kept firing arrows, trying to stop the monks' progress, while the evil monks used shields for protection and pushed forward with all their might.

Casualties on both sides continued to rise, and blood stained the ground beneath the walls.

A young evil monk, agile in movement, dodged the attacks from the wall and reached the base of the gate.

He brandished his axe and hacked fiercely at the gate.

Every blow made the gate hum and vibrate.

However, the original wooden gate had long since been replaced with a steel one; how could it be hacked through?

Seeing this from the wall, Old Gourd immediately took up his bow and aimed at the monk.

With a 'whoosh', the arrow shot out like a meteor, hitting the evil monk squarely in the shoulder.

The evil monk let out a scream and collapsed to the ground.

However, the evil monks did not retreat just because their comrade had fallen.

They surged forward wave after wave, continuing the attack. The people of the Wang Family Villa were also fearless, resisting tenaciously.

A young man from the villa thrust out his long spear, striking several evil monks in succession.

But because he was too valiant, he was hit in the leg by an arrow from the evil monks and fell to the ground.

The battle lasted for a long time, and both sides paid a heavy price.

Though the evil monks were ferocious, the people of the Wang Family Villa, relying on the advantage of the walls and their tenacious will to resist, never allowed them to achieve a Breakthrough.

The sky grew even darker, and a crescent moon hung in the sky.

Strangely, the enemy suddenly retreated and disappeared.

The people of the Wang Family Villa were exhausted; watching the retreating figures of the evil monks, no one could make sense of it.

Standing on the wall and looking at the weary crowd, Old Gourd said loudly, "Everyone has worked hard. Go back and rest quickly, but stay on high alert; the evil monks could return at any moment."

Everyone nodded and began to clear the battlefield, preparing for the next round of challenges.

After Jiese led the evil monks away, he did not give up. Instead, he set up camp not far from the villa, plotting a new round of attacks.

The next morning, as the sunlight just spilled onto the walls of the Wang Family Villa, the evil monks were once again at the gates.

This time, they brought several barrels of gunpowder, attempting to blow open the villa's gates.

Several strong evil monks carried the heavy gunpowder barrels, cautiously approaching the gates under the cover of their companions.

The guards of the Wang Family Villa noticed something was wrong, and Old Gourd immediately ordered them to fire arrows.

For a time, a rain of arrows flew toward the monks carrying the gunpowder.

The evil monks propped up massive shields, moving forward with difficulty.

Although several companions fell to the arrows, they still did not give up.

When they finally reached the gates, they quickly placed the gunpowder barrels and lit the fuse.

The 'hissing' sound was exceptionally piercing on the silent battlefield. Old Gourd was anxious; he knew that once the gunpowder exploded, the gates would surely be unable to withstand it.

At this critical moment, a young warrior from the villa stepped forward. He was agile, sliding down the wall on a rope and charging at the evil monks with a long saber in hand.

His appearance threw the evil monks into disarray. Before they could react, the warrior had already severed the fuse.

At the same time, the guards on the wall intensified their attacks. Stones and arrows fell like rain, and the evil monks suffered heavy casualties.

The people of the Wang Family Villa cheered; this successful prevention of the gate bombing greatly boosted their morale.

Seeing the failure of the bombing plan, Jiese flew into a rage and decided to use his trump card.

Holding his Buddhist staff, he ordered his subordinates to bring something out.

A group of subordinates pushed out a small cart carrying a giant object.

The object was covered with a red cloth, and no one knew what it was.

Everyone on the wall was stunned. What could this be?

They saw Renamed to Color Robber lift the red cloth.

Inside was actually a large, brass-colored bell.

Jiese suddenly exerted his strength, striking the bronze bell heavily with his Buddhist staff.

“Dong——”

With a loud boom, the bell's sound was melodious yet carried a weird power, spreading outward with the bronze bell as the center.

The bodyguards of the Wang Family Villa were instantly enveloped by this power.

They felt a roar in their heads and became dizzy. It was as if countless bees were buzzing in their ears, and they almost dropped their weapons.

Many people could not stand steadily and collapsed to the ground, painfully clutching their ears.

However, Wang Jiacheng and Old Gourd were not intimidated by this sudden attack.

Wang Jiacheng had a sudden idea and immediately shouted, "Everyone, find something to plug your ears!"

As he spoke, he was the first to tear a corner of his clothes and stuff it tightly into his ears.

Old Gourd also acted quickly, plugging his ears while directing the crowd: "Don't panic! Maintain the defense!"

Everyone followed suit, using strips of cloth, cotton, and other materials to plug their ears.

Although they could still feel the vibration of the bell, the symptoms of dizziness and tinnitus were somewhat relieved.

They regained their spirits, picked up their weapons, and engaged in a fierce confrontation with the evil monks.

Jiese continued to strike the great bell, the sound waves clashing everywhere like waves.

He once again directed the evil monks to launch an attack.

This time, some evil monks brought out pre-prepared ropes with sharp iron hooks tied to one end.

They threw the ropes toward the wall with force, and the iron hooks firmly caught the edge of the wall.

Immediately after, the evil monks climbed up the rope ladders quickly, their sabers and axes gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

The guards on the wall had not yet fully recovered from the influence of the previous bell toll.

Facing the evil monks who were climbing up, they were momentarily unable to hold them back.

Several evil monks had already successfully climbed onto the wall and were engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the guards.

The evil monks' offensive grew fiercer, and the Wang Family Villa's line of defense gradually began to loosen; the situation became precarious.

Old Gourd and Wang Jiacheng were anxious, running around to direct the resistance.

But the evil monks were too numerous, and the people of the Wang Family Villa were gradually being overwhelmed.

Watching more and more evil monks climb onto the wall, the Wang Family Villa fell into an unprecedented crisis...
