Chapter 22 Young people are ignorant of their own limitations

Yan Chu and the others were hiding in a forest.

Looking from afar, one could see teams of guards holding torches patrolling outside Iron Eagle Fortress, resembling a circular fire snake.

Above the fortress, there were also many people on patrol.

The scattered lights connected into one, illuminating the entire Iron Eagle Fortress.

Seeing how tightly defended it was, they would likely have to launch a frontal assault; there was no other path to sneak in.

"Commandant, what should we do? Should we attack directly?"

A Green Uniform Head Constable asked in a low voice.

With the strength of their group, even if they could destroy Iron Eagle Fortress, they would likely suffer heavy losses.

Blue Uniform Commandant Huang Xiyan's gaze was cold and stern as he stared fixedly at the distant Iron Eagle Fortress, slowly spitting out one word:

"Wait!"

Wait?

The group felt somewhat confused, but they dared not ask further, so they could only wait quietly in the forest.

They waited for a full hour or more.

Just as the moonlight faded and the surroundings were completely plunged into darkness, a loud shout suddenly erupted from within Iron Eagle Fortress.

"Xue Fei, what are you doing?!"

Following that were various noisy sounds, shouts, curses, and the clashing of weapons.

The lights of the teams guarding Iron Eagle Fortress immediately became chaotic.

The previously bright illumination flickered on and off.

Whoosh... Bang!!

At the same time, a flare flew straight up into the sky, exploding into a huge firework that illuminated the dim night sky.

This was like a signal.

Huang Xiyan, who had been resting with his eyes closed, instantly opened them, his eyes shining with divine light.

"Attack!"

Before the word "attack" had even finished falling, he had already arrived in front of Iron Eagle Fortress, and then, like a soaring wild goose, he vaulted over the high fortress wall, rushing toward the sounds of battle inside.

"Kill!! Exterminate the Holy Lotus Sect evil cult!!!"

"Don't let a single one escape!!"

A Green Uniform Head Constable shouted loudly, closely pursuing Huang Xiyan.

The remaining people drew their weapons and charged toward Iron Eagle Fortress.

The distance of several hundred meters was just a matter of a few breaths for people like them.

Many Iron Eagle Fortress guard Disciples had not even reacted before they became souls under the blades.

"Ah!!"

"Who are you people? How dare you attack my Iron Eagle Fortress?"

"Damn it! It's Six Doors!!"

"Members of Six Doors, what crime has my Iron Eagle Fortress committed?"

Clang!

An old man in black jumped down from the top of the fortress wall and exchanged a blow with a Green Uniform Head Constable of Six Doors.

The ripple of True Qi rising sent several nearby figures flying.

"Head Constable Li?"

The old man in black recognized the Constable he was fighting and hurriedly asked:

"What crime did my Iron Eagle Fortress commit? Why are you attacking?"

Head Constable Li said coldly: "Iron Eagle Fortress colluded with the Holy Lotus Sect and hid an evil cult Elder. According to the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty, you must be executed!"

After saying this, he raised the mandarin duck cudgel in his hand and smashed it down, not allowing the opponent any room to argue.

"You..."

The old man in black's expression changed, and he hurriedly used Eagle Claw Technique to parry. The dark green claw prints and crimson cudgel shadows clashed intensely, the loud noise shaking the ground and sending dust flying.

On the other side, the people from Six Doors were simply massacring these Iron Eagle Fortress Disciples.

In the time it took to meet, quite a few people died miserably.

The other three Green Uniform Head Constables directly smashed the gates of Iron Eagle Fortress and led the Six Doors elites to fight toward the depths of the fortress.

Their voices came from far away:

"Brother Li and everyone from Four Seas Pavilion, deal with these small fry outside; we are going to help the Commandant!"

That Head Constable Li's eyes changed, and he forced the old man he was fighting back with one strike of his cudgel.

Then he leaped forward to pursue, "I will go with you. Manager Zeng, I'll leave the outside to you!!"

The real credit was inside; he could not afford to be held up by the people outside.

Seventh Master Zeng struck an Iron Eagle Fortress Disciple with his palm, sending him flying backward while vomiting blood, and immediately met the gaze of the old man in black.

He could not help but twitch the corner of his eye.

Letting him fight another Qi Sea Realm Martial Artist alone would not be worth the injury.

The black-clad old man, Hong Kai, was the Third Elder of Iron Eagle Fortress, and he asked coldly: "Is Four Seas Pavilion also going to take action against my Iron Eagle Fortress?"

Seventh Master Zeng sighed and said: "Iron Eagle Fortress acted against the natural order and dared to collude with the Holy Lotus Sect. My Four Seas Pavilion was hired by Six Doors, so we have no choice!"

"This old man has never had any dealings with the Holy Lotus Sect; you are slandering me!"

Seventh Master Zeng shook his head, "Go tell that to the Six Doors Commandant; I am just following orders."

After saying this, he spoke no more. True Qi surged from his palms as he struck from afar.

Yan Chu watched the two Qi Sea Realm Martial Artists fighting from afar; every move and every stance carried immense power with the enhancement of True Qi.

Everyone else stayed far away, leaving enough space for the two of them, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

The other Iron Eagle Fortress Disciples, the Four Seas Pavilion members, and a few Six Doors Constables were fighting their own battles.

"Old thing, how dare you attack my Iron Eagle Fortress? I'll send you back to your hometown!"

A dozen or so Iron Eagle Fortress Disciples were looking for opponents everywhere, and seeing Yan Chu alone, they all surrounded and attacked him.

"Hmph!"

Yan Chu's figure flickered, and he appeared before them. Like a tiger entering the mountains, his fist wind whistled, taking one down with every punch.

Although his Great Demon Subduing Fist was only at Minor Achievement, relying on his Viscera Realm cultivation and the powerful physique brought by the Thirteen Protectors Hardened Golden Bell Shield, almost no one could withstand a single punch from him.

It was simply: graze and you're injured, touch and you're dead.

[Killed an Iron Eagle Fortress Disciple who wanted to attack you, feeling very satisfied, EXP + 100]

[Killed an Iron Eagle Fortress Disciple who wanted to attack you, feeling very satisfied, EXP + 300]

[Killed...]

"Ah!! Don't kill me!!"

"Retreat quickly! The old man is fierce!"

"Junior Brother Li, wait for me!"

In no time at all, more than half of the dozen or so people were vomiting blood and flying backward, landing on the ground, twitching a few times, and then stopping completely.

Only two or three remained, screaming continuously and retreating in terror, looking at Yan Chu as if he were a demon.

These Iron Eagle Fortress Disciples were mostly Qi Blood Realm and ordinary Martial Artists, with fewer Third Realm Martial Artists.

They could not stir up any waves in front of him.

"Young people are ignorant of the world!"

Yan Chu shook his head, disdainful, displaying the demeanor of an expert.

"Old thing, you dare kill my Junior Brother; you are simply courting death!"

At this moment, a young man with a hooked nose not far away turned to look, his face full of Killing Intent.

In his hands, he was still holding two people, both of whom were Level 3 tribute retainers of Four Seas Pavilion.

At this moment, their necks had been twisted, and they had died with their eyes wide open.

"Senior Brother Lin, be careful. This old thing is very strong. Even Senior Brother Li was killed; he is likely a Third Realm."

"Regardless of whether he is a Third Realm or not, anyone who dares to kill Junior Brother Li must die!"

"I will cut you into a thousand pieces to avenge my Junior Brother Li!"

This Senior Brother Lin's expression was agitated, as if that Junior Brother Li was someone very important to him.

Yan Chu laughed in spite of himself.

"What? Did your Junior Brother Li die, leaving you with no butt to play with?"

Although Senior Brother Lin did not understand what "butt" meant in this context, looking at Yan Chu's expression, he knew it was not anything good.

He immediately flew into a rage again.

"Old thing, die!"

He curled his hands into claws; his finger bones were exceptionally tough and full of a sense of power.

Like a goshawk swooping down to kill, he aimed straight for Yan Chu's crown.
