Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 217: Chapter 130: The House was Burglarized!

Liu Yuanhu’s fury made everyone’s hearts tremble. Standing next to him, Zhang Guangqun promptly took his orders and left to gather the men.

Gu Dajiang also felt a tightness in his heart and hurriedly responded:

”As you command, Magistrate!”

He glanced at the others and left without looking back.

Everyone knew that the most crucial thing now was to immediately support Black Water Town. White Stone Town had already been ravaged by rebel forces before, and if Black Water Town were to suffer the same fate, the losses aside, Liu Yuanhu’s order might even be delayed for a period.

This was something Liu Yuanhu could not tolerate.

Liu Yuanhu clasped his hands behind his back, his eyes extremely cold.

He secretly clenched his fists.

”Zhao Honglie, if you want war, I will grant you your wish!”

The killing intent was already present in Liu Yuanhu’s eyes. The reason he had delayed until now was merely waiting for his order to come through, so that he could openly call upon the Red Cloud Guard, which would end all matters.

However, now Zhao Honglie had acted ahead of time, already touching the bottom line of his patience.

His gaze flickered as he began to scheme on how to deal with Zhao Honglie.

...

The night was stagnant.

In a secluded mountain gorge, surrounded by peaks, it was very concealed. One could vaguely see some simple wooden huts standing, seemingly newly constructed, like a small mountain stronghold.

Besides that,

there were watchtowers in all directions, with torches lit to prevent wild animal attacks, and there were also people on night patrol, eyes vigilant.

Night had already passed its midpoint, and the patrolling martial artists began switching shifts.

The two were well acquainted. A tall, thin martial artist couldn’t help but complain:

”Brother Ming, why are we leaving the comfort of Canghe County to live a refugee’s life here? If you ask me, the Family Head siding with Zhao Honglie against Liu Yuanhu might not be the right choice!”

The martial artist named Brother Ming directly gave the shifting martial artist a stern warning, speaking in a low voice:

”Watch your words!”

He glanced around and continued:

”Don’t say such things again in the future. What do you know? The Family Head and the others naturally have more information than us. They have their reasons for making such decisions. If you’re dissatisfied, just go and tell the Family Head and the others.”

Brother Ming gave the tall, thin martial artist a sidelong glance.

The tall, thin martial artist gave a wry smile. He was all talk but didn’t have the courage to face the Family Head directly.

”I’m just complaining, Brother Ming, don’t get mad. I know Liu Yuanhu can’t tolerate us, but I didn’t expect things would turn out like this...”

”Sigh, I wonder when this will end. The days of cockfighting and dog racing in Canghe County were surely more comfortable...”

Hearing the sigh from the tall, thin martial artist, Brother Ming chuckled silently and patted him, laughing:

”You little guy, don’t worry, do you think Uncle Ming went out tonight for nothing?”

The tall, thin martial artist asked with excitement:

”Could it be?”

”That’s right, we’ll just guard this place well. Whether or not it’s successful, this is one of our Lu family’s foundations.”

As the two conversed,

Brother Ming instructed a few more things before turning and leaving.

”Guard well. I’m going back for a rest first.”

Watching Brother Ming’s figure disappear into the stronghold, the tall, thin martial artist’s previously flattering and obsequious expression vanished, replaced by one of disdain:

”What a show, just because your background is slightly better than mine and you’ve clung to Lu Ming, who is barely related as an uncle. It’s uncertain if they’ll even consider you as one of them...”

Clearly,

this tall, thin martial artist wasn’t as compliant to Brother Ming’s lectures as he appeared outwardly.

He spat on the ground, gazing towards the distant forests.

”When will this life ever end...”

The tall, thin martial artist gazed blankly into the distant black night and gradually became absorbed in his thoughts.

Whoosh!

A faint, sharp sound rang out, and the tall, thin martial artist jolted, his pupils dilated, as he was about to say something. But the arrow came too fast and fierce, and his words were stuck in his throat.

The tall, thin martial artist desperately clutched the arrow embedded in his throat, but the loss of life was irreversible.

Vaguely,

he could only see, in the distance, a grim figure clad in black armor, wielding a giant axe, approaching slowly, like a demon from hell.

He wanted to scream, but it only came out as hoarse grunts when it reached his throat.

Gu Sheng looked at the slowly collapsing body on the watchtower, expressionless.

After learning about this hidden place from two of the Lu family’s Blood Refining Realm martial artists, he rushed over immediately. He knew he needed to act quickly; otherwise, if he encountered the Lu family members returning from Black Water Town, it would be much more difficult.

You have to pick the softest persimmon to squeeze.

After clearing out the people from the watchtowers, Gu Sheng boldly charged into the stronghold.

In fact, with his current strength, clad in the Hundred Refining Heavy Armor, he could completely charge through, but why not save some effort if possible.

With a step, he created a small crater, transforming into a black streak of lightning, easily leaping over the crude wooden walls with a few bounds.

Through the Black Rock Crystal visor, he could clearly see the situation inside the stronghold, which consisted mostly of newly constructed wooden huts, with torches illuminating the surroundings.

Gu Sheng’s eyes turned cold, and he kicked, flipping a torch over.

Buzz!

The raging fire ignited instantly, the wooden huts acting as perfect fuel, and a deep voice resounded throughout the stronghold:

”Lu family, prepare to die!”

A man had just burst out of a wooden hut, not yet comprehending the situation when he looked in wonder, only to find his headless body falling to the ground, decapitated in an instant.

Gu Sheng charged further inside.
