Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 218: Chapter 130 The House Was Stolen!_2

He interrogated those two.

This stronghold was mainly composed of the Lu family’s martial artists and young strong men, even the elders and women didn’t know the hiding places.

And he knew who held the most precious wealth of this place and where it was located, right at the three-story pavilion in the center, in the hands of Lu Yue’s father, Lu Dazhi.

”Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”

A piercing voice echoed through the night sky, with flames reflecting Gu Sheng like a demon god walking in the fire. One by one, the martial artists of the Lu family charged at Gu Sheng in anger, but none could withstand a single move.

The ferocious axe seemed like a scythe harvesting lives, extremely ruthless.

A single chop split them in half, causing onlookers to gasp in fear.

From afar, someone attempted to interfere with Gu Sheng using arrows, but they only made clinking sounds on the refined heavy armor, which Gu Sheng barely acknowledged.

At this moment.

Gu Sheng finally charged into the three-story pavilion’s location where Lu Dazhi had gathered some of the strong martial artists of this stronghold, looking at the impudent black-armored figure in front of him. He didn’t naively ask useless questions; he knew there was only one possibility left now, fight to the death!

”Follow me and kill!”

Gu Sheng grinned savagely, bearing no burden in his heart as he slaughtered the Lu family martial artists.

From the moment the Lu family started sending people to attack Gu’s Manor, the outcome was predetermined. If you kill, you must be prepared to be killed; this is always how the world works.

”Rage Blood Three Forms!”

Gu Sheng shouted in his heart.

The Thirst Blood Axe in his hand flashed with a blood-red glow; he didn’t even need to use the Blood Activation Skill to support him. The first-level Strong Body along with the refined heavy armor was enough to sweep these people away.

...

Black Water Town.

When Gu Jingang arrived with over a dozen of Gu’s Manor martial artists, they only saw a sky full of flames but heard no sounds of fighting. Gu Changming stayed with the remaining martial artists at Gu’s Manor, and upon seeing this situation, Gu Jingang felt a heavy heart and rushed to extinguish the fire.

Not until the sky slightly brightened, did the towering flames gradually fade away.

Liu Yuanhu’s face was incredibly gloomy, and no one dared to take a deep breath.

Half of Black Water Town was at least a ruin.

The martial artists guarding this place were mostly casualties, and other losses were equally severe.

”Zhao Honglie! Good! Very good!”

Liu Yuanhu gritted his teeth.

Last night, after sealing the gates of Canghe County, he rushed over with his men, but still was a step too late. Zhao Honglie’s objective was clear: to slay the martial artists guarding Black Water Town and loot some valuables, not even considering occupying the town.

He knew that a half-wasted Black Water Town could more significantly drain Liu Yuanhu’s energy.

So, when Liu Yuanhu arrived, he saw the sky filled with flames in Black Water Town.

Gu Jingang hung his head low, his mind whirling with various thoughts.

The night’s attack.

Black Water Town and other villas that approached Liu Yuanhu suffered heavy losses, but only Gu’s Manor successfully repelled the enemy, even killing nearly twenty martial artists, which was somewhat conspicuous. It wasn’t that it would arouse Liu Yuanhu’s suspicion, but it would attract the Black Sand Gang’s attention!

Next time, when the Black Sand Gang comes again, it may not just be the Lu family, but possibly more!

That would not be something a single Gu’s Manor could withstand.

Thinking so.

He tightened his heart, pondering on the future direction of Gu’s Manor.

After venting his anger, Liu Yuanhu turned to the crowd:

”Zhao Honglie did this, seemingly achieving his plan, but actually exposing his lack of confidence. If he really had the capability, he should have come to Canghe County to find me directly!”

Liu Yuanhu’s eyes were filled with murderous intent.

”After today, this county will send people to help you with your defense. If the Black Sand Gang dares to come again, they will surely pay a heavy price!”

Gu Jingang was slightly taken aback, unsure why Liu Yuanhu would say this publicly, wasn’t he worried about Black Sand Gang spies?

But he quickly understood.

This was openly telling Zhao Honglie, if you got the guts, come again!

The real is false, the false is real, if the Black Sand Gang carelessly falls into Liu Yuanhu’s trap, they would undoubtedly suffer heavy losses. This was a small counterattack from Liu Yuanhu, to reassure those who joined him and also make the Black Sand Gang and the prominent families wary.

Gu Jingang secretly praised, indeed living up to being a county head, having quickly devised a response.

But this was just an appetizer.

Liu Yuanhu’s lips curled into a cold smile.

”The Lu Family, Zhao Family, Wang Family... Very well, since they dare to go against this county with the Black Sand Gang, then they can’t blame me for being ruthless!”

”This matter is handed over to you to handle, the properties of these families in the county, you can deal with them yourselves.”

Liu Yuanhu was not one to suffer losses without retaliation.

The benefits of previously closing off the county were now evident; the remaining tails of these families could not escape even if they wanted to.

This also provided Gu’s Manor and other forces with an opportunity for revenge and profit, further pacifying the people’s hearts.

Gu Jingang could clearly see.

The slight resentment in people’s eyes subsided, gradually becoming fervent.

Amidst the chaos, there was also opportunity!

As for Liu Yuanhu himself, naturally, he would go to root out the remnants of the Black Sand Gang. Although most of the Black Sand Gang’s forces had contracted within their gang bases, some important strongholds couldn’t withdraw, making this the best time to retaliate in kind!

If the Black Sand Gang came and was not fought back against, there would inevitably be disunity and dissension.

Liu Yuanhu was calculating in his heart how to uproot the Black Sand Gang, knowing that the gang’s base was heavily guarded, and a direct assault might not guarantee victory, his eyes flickered with a cold light.

”It seems... I need to call Brother Mo Chen over earlier...”

...

Black Sand Gang.

Zhao Honglie and the family heads all wore smiles as they listened to the victorious reports coming in from everywhere. Just now, the forces attacking Black Water Town had successfully returned.

They made a fortune.

”Tonight’s raid greatly boosted our morale! From now on, Liu Yuanhu will surely retaliate fiercely, so we must remain vigilant!”

Zhao Honglie raised his glass, his face flushed with excitement.

After several setbacks at Liu Yuanhu’s hands, regaining a bit made him very excited.

Now with things completely torn with Liu Yuanhu, the next step was to keep finding opportunities to gradually deplete Liu Yuanhu’s strength, then make a decisive strike!

The family heads laughed heartily.

”All thanks to Boss Zhao’s brilliance!”

”Strategizing from a thousand miles away, I am impressed! Canghe County will surely have a part for Boss Zhao in the future!”

”Absolutely, in my life, I’ve admired few, but Boss Zhao is undoubtedly the first!”

With interests allocated appropriately, everyone flattered Zhao Honglie.

Zhao Honglie chuckled, knowing well these praises were driven by interests, yet still enjoying it. However, he soon noticed Lu Kong’s somewhat anxious and somber expression.

”Master Lu, don’t worry, every son of the Lu family is a fierce warrior, there should be no problem, it must have been some unexpected delay.”

Now, members from several families and the Black Sand Gang had mostly returned, though there were also losses within acceptable limits, except the martial artists that the Lu family sent to attack Gu’s Manor hadn’t returned yet.

Everyone turned their gaze, seeing Lu Kong forced to squeeze out a smile.

”Boss Zhao, forgive me, I’m just worried Lu Ming and the others might delay your important matters.”

He had a vague foreboding but could only hope that Lu Ming and others were too indulgent at Gu’s Manor, causing the delay.

Just then.

Shouts came from outside, and immediately, under the support of Black Sand Gang martial artists, a blood-soaked fighter stumbled into the discussion hall, and upon seeing Lu Kong, his eyes instantly reddened, crying out:

”Family Head, it’s over! All over! Uncle Dazhi’s side was massacred, not a single one left!!”

He wailed, face full of despair.

Previously, Lu Kong sent him to inform Lu Dazhi of the situation, but when he arrived, it was a sea of fire and mountain of corpses, extremely tragic.

Lu Kong hearing this news, felt darkness envelop his vision.

The family was stolen!
