In her urgency, Yu Linglong finally heard the voice of Commander Gu Feng through her earpiece, “Linglong, all our forces have reached the predetermined location! Just hold on for ten more minutes, and we’ll be there to rescue you!”
Hearing Gu Feng’s words, Yu Linglong finally let out a sigh of relief.
“Brothers, Commander Gu Feng has already surrounded this place with his troops! Next, we don’t need to fight to the bitter end. Everyone, take care of yourselves and hold on for ten more minutes—they’ll be here soon!”
“Yes!”
Hearing that Commander Gu Feng had finally brought reinforcements, although only thirty people were left on the scene, their fighting spirit soared immensely.
Huh?
Watching the situation unfold, Matsumoto’s expression couldn’t help but turn grave.
Had the Xuanwu Region really arranged for reinforcements?
But the information he just received indicated that there was no movement from the Xuanwu Region’s troops, right?
“Boss, it’s bad, it’s really bad… The brothers responsible for outer perimeter have been attacked, and those assigned to take their positions saw a large number of Xuanwu Region experts rushing toward the canyon at top speed…”
“What? Didn’t you say just now that there were no reinforcements? How did they suddenly arrive right at our doorstep?” Matsumoto truly panicked. If the Xuanwu Region really had reinforcements, then sending Yu Linglong here today was probably indeed a ploy.
“How many of them have come?” Matsumoto assessed his own forces; now, there were only a little over three hundred martial arts experts left. Even with a Martial Emperor strongist supporting from behind, if the Xuanwu Region experts charged together, the Black Clothes Society’s forces would likely be decimated.
“Currently, it’s unclear, but from what we can estimate so far, there are at least seven to eight hundred people…”
Hiss!
Hearing his subordinate’s report, Matsumoto couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Dammit!
Seven to eight hundred people—now the situation had quickly started to reverse, and they outnumbered his own forces by several times!
The Xuanwu Region must be serious!
Fuck!
He had been played by the Xuanwu Region!
“Elder Xiao Quan, please take action and lead the brothers to hold the retreat route!” Now, Matsumoto was really scared. He bowed to the void and issued rapid orders to his subordinates, “Second and third squads, go with your troops and join Elder Xiao Quan to secure our retreat path. We’ll be right there!”
Now, Matsumoto truly feared that if the Xuanwu Region really had sent reinforcements, they would have almost mobilized their entire force.
Today, Penglai Canyon was definitely indefensible, but at least he needed to get most of the people out.
“Yu Linglong! You’re ruthless… but don’t get smug! Even if Gu Feng has sent reinforcements, I can kill you before they save you! Everyone, attack together. End the fight in ten seconds—eliminate this scourge, goddamn it!”
Matsumoto was really about to explode with rage!
God damn it!
He had thought it was an ambush, a one-sided stomping battle, but unexpectedly, it had turned into a retreat!
Matsumoto glanced toward the east, sneering in his heart.
Fortunately, there were still the forces of Zhou Yao and the Blood Demon on that side, who might be able to hold off the enemy for a while and buy time for his escape.
Soon, they would be left to a dog-eat-dog battle!
…
Swish swish swish!
Matsumoto’s troops, having received the order, held nothing back, activating their fiercest Martial Arts Qi and furiously charging toward Yu Linglong and her men.
Splat! Splat!
Yu Linglong’s front-liner subordinates blocked a few rounds but were quickly overwhelmed and fell.
Although Yu Linglong’s combat and command skills were exceptional, as she fought and retreated toward the deeper parts of Chaotic Rock Ridge, she couldn’t withstand the overwhelming strength.
Watching her men fall one after another in mere moments, Yu Linglong soon had less than ten people left by her side!
Matsumoto even drew his battle saber and began to charge personally!
Three Martial Lords joined the battle, which was essentially a harvest of lives for Yu Linglong’s side.
Hiss!
In an attempt to save an underling beside her, Yu Linglong’s shoulder was sliced by Matsumoto with a deep gash that left blood flowing down her entire shoulder.
Yu Linglong staggered, her already pale complexion turning deathly white again.
Leaning on her battle saber for support, Yu Linglong looked towards Great Xia with eyes filled with reluctance and murmured, “Am I really going to die this time? That silly boy Ye Fan, I wonder if he’s okay… I haven’t even become your wife yet… What a pity… If only I could’ve received more of your warmth before leaving, maybe I could’ve enhanced my strength further and avoided this situation, alas…”
…
Meanwhile, Ye Fan had finally charged into the canyon!
The Four Great Maids by Ye Fan’s side were all Grandmasters, their powerful Martial Arts Qi and extensive combat experience made it impossible for Matsumoto’s underlings to block them.
Ye Fan was holding a breathtakingly beautiful girl in his arms, continuously transferring rudy force qi energy and vitality force into her.
Ye Fan could feel the girl in his arms twitching slightly, but what he found odd was that the girl in his arms still hadn’t woken up.
What Ye Fan didn’t know was that the girl had already quietly opened her eyes and was looking at the handsome man holding her.
Bushy eyebrows, prominent features, and well-defined lines!
Was it he who saved her?
The girl glanced at her nearly bare body and snuggled closer into Ye Fan’s embrace to hide herself, but to her shock, she discovered that her Great Phoenix was being held and deformed in Ye Fan’s hand.
Ugh!
She was dying of embarrassment!
She was dying of embarrassment!
How was she supposed to face anyone after this?
Wait a minute!
Didn’t Great Xia have a saying? If a life-and-death debt cannot be repaid, one must repay it with their body… So, was the man before her to become her husband?
Right!
He seemed not too bad, to her liking!
The girl twisted in Ye Fan’s arms again and suddenly felt something touch her momentarily!
She was only puzzled for a moment before she realized what it was.
Though she’d never eaten pork, she’d seen pigs run!
Was he that eager?
The girl shyly tried to move away but suddenly felt a warm current spreading into her body, nourishing and cultivating her body, enhancing her Martial Arts Qi.
Hmm?
Did this handsome guy have such a magical function as well?
Could she receive this miraculous warmth just by having close contact with him?
That… then if she were to marry him later, wouldn’t that mean she could get more of this warmth and reap tremendous benefits?
By that time, breaking through to Martial Saint should be an effortless affair, right?
If her strength could reach the Martial Emperor Realm, wouldn’t her father’s burden be reduced? Those despicable people took advantage of her, beating her to death and throwing her into the sea when she wasn’t paying attention!
If it weren’t for her strong will to live, and being saved and treated by the handsome man before her, she would have probably died long ago!
Hmph!
Did they really think she was just a vase?
This time, she would make them pay the price!
