“What? Do you still think you can resist?” Looking at the formation of the Ye Family, Lin Family, and Li Family, Lang Xing’s mouth curled into a mocking smile. However, when his gaze swept over the crowd and noticed Lin Huarong’s presence, his eyelid involuntarily twitched.
In fact, he had not expected that in such a low tier city, there would be a strong second level Peak Stage Martial Grandmaster.
Lin Huarong had some fame within the range of Spreading Cloud City, but this had not reached the Royal City. Even if it had, no one would have paid attention.
“A bunch of frogs in a well, do you really think you have any chance of survival?” Yan Hu also spoke up, his tone full of derision.
Having offended the Du Family in the Royal City, there was no possibility of being spared! His words merely a reminder to the three Major Families.
“If you want to keep your corpses intact, you’d better obediently surrender!” Lang Xing squinted his small eyes at Lin Huarong.
After all, facing this unexpected second level Peak Stage Martial Grandmaster made him feel uneasy.
Their undisguised words immediately caused a wave of anger among the people in the Ye Family Mansion.
“Are you the Patriarch of the Ye Family, Ye Hongyun?”
Xue Meigui’s gaze fell on Ye Hongyun, her cold voice coming from behind her veil.
“What do you want?” Ye Hongyun was not afraid.
“Hand over those formulas, and perhaps, I can give you a way to live.” Xue Meigui’s lips curled into a seductive arc, her slender and alluring eyes flashing with a hint of desire.
Although the Ye Family auction had not been held, the items for the auction had been leaked. She had also received the news. If she could get those few formulas, she, Xue Meigui, would never need to submit to others ever again.
“Little girl, if you’re willing to be my Ye Family’s Daughter-in-law, then of course I can let you keep the formula.” Ye Liangchen stuck out his big belly while staring at her slender figure. He chuckled, with drool hanging from the corner of his mouth, causing Xue Meigui’s face to turn cold.
“Slaughter that fat @ss for me!” The cold voice filled with intense killing intent came from behind the veil, frightening Fatty Ye into wailing, “Help! This crazy woman wants to murder her Husband…”
His clownish behaviour lightened the heavy mood of everyone, and many even started laughing along. However, Xue Meigui was so angry that her delicate body trembled.
As the leader of the third ranked mercenary group in the dynasty, when had she ever been insulted like this!?
She swore she must personally cut off that fatty’s head to vent her hatred.
“Kill!”
Following Xue Meigui’s order, the hundreds of strong warriors behind her shouted loudly, carrying a violent killing intent, charging towards the Ye Family’s vast land. The bursts of killing that erupted in an instant made the faces of countless onlookers turn pale.
Although Lang Xing and Yan Hu were somewhat displeased with the tone of Xue Meigui’s order, they did not show it on their face. Instead, they immediately vented this anger on the people of the three Families.
“Trash, taste your Grandfather’s hammer!”
Facing the oncoming surge of people from the three mercenary groups, Li Yuanba wielded a pair of eye-catching giant hammers, taking the lead to meet them. As he swung his hammer, an Early Stage Martial Grandmaster from the mercenary alliance was directly sent flying back, spitting blood.
“Let me deal with you!” Seeing this, Yan Hu charged forward with his great sword, slashing towards Li Yuanba.
“Bring it on. You think your Grandfather is afraid of you!?” Li Yuanba swung his giant hammer horizontally towards him, it was the first move of the Overlord Hammer Martial Technique… Sweeping Thousands of Armies.
Although he was still using the rudimentary form of the Overlord Hammer Martial Technique, it still carried a momentum that looked down on the world and swept away everything. This one blow was powerful enough to scare Yan Hu into avoiding it. He dared not confront it head-on.
After stabilising himself, Yan Hu’s face immediately turned the colour of pig liver. He, a mighty first level Peak Stage Martial Grandmaster, was actually forced back by a Martial Grandmaster that had not even reached the Peak Stage!
If this were to spread back to the Royal City, he would never be able to hold his head up again.
“Damn it! I’m going to flay you alive!” Yan Hu charged up again.
…
“Your opponent is me!” When Xue Meigui rushed towards Ye Liangchen, Lin Huarong blocked her.
Lang Xing was blocked by the joint forces of Ye Hongyun and Li Yuanfei.
However, since they were mercenary groups from the Royal City, each mercenary group had no less than ten strong Martial Grandmasters. Such was the bare minimum to establish a mercenary group in the Royal City.
Thus, there were more than thirty Martial Grandmasters on their side. They were like fierce Tigers that had descended the mountain, and they pounced into the ranks of the three Major Families, immediately stirring up a bloody storm.
Just in one encounter, dozens of people from the three Major Families fell, and they were continuously forced to retreat. The battle situation was almost one-sided.
*Bang!…* In another encounter, Lin Huarong was sent flying back, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Although the toxins in his body had been cleared, he had not recovered to his peak state. Facing the formidable Xue Meigui, he still seemed somewhat powerless.
Looking at the Family disciples falling one by one, Lin Huarong, Ye Hongyun, and Li Yuanfei’s eyes were filled with sorrow.
“Brothers, kill them! Kill one to break even, kill two for profit!”
Hei Gui was roaring, his body covered in blood, crisscrossed with more than a dozen wounds, some even deep enough to see bone. But he seemed unaware of it though as he fiercely pounced towards the Martial Grandmaster in front of him again.
“Hehe!” An Elder from the Ye Family was cut into the shoulder by a sword, blood splashing, but instead of retreating, he charged forward, crashing into the mercenary in front of him, biting off the mercenary’s ear. A chilling laugh came from his mouth, His appearance was so fierce, he was like a devil from Hell coming to claim their lives.
However, such a desperate fighting style barely held back the mercenaries’ offensive.
In just ten minutes, more than half of the people from the three Major Families had fallen, and their area of control had shrunk to the front of the hall from earlier.
Of course, the mercenary groups were not faring much better. Although they were ruthless in their actions, they were now facing a group of people who were clearly not afraid of death.
Even if they died, they wanted to bite off a piece of flesh from them!
They were terrified.
After all, Humans were still afraid of death.
After forcing the people of the three Major Families into the hall, seeing Li Yuanba and Lin Huarong standing at the door, the mercenary groups’ offensive slowed down.
Xue Meigui, Yan Hu, and Lang Xing were all breathing heavily, looking at their lost personnel, they also felt pained.
Of the more than thirty Martial Grandmasters, they had now lost more than a dozen.
These were the backbone of their mercenary groups.
Of course, their gains from coming to Spreading Cloud City far exceeded the reward given by the Du Family. After destroying the three Major Families, they could each cultivate a Family for themselves to amass wealth.
Thinking of the future benefits, their expressions slightly improved.
“Today, there will no longer be a Ye Family!” Lang Xing squinted his small eyes, exchanging a glance with Yan Hu, planning to join forces.
“You think you’re capable of that!?” However, at this moment, a cold voice came from the entrance of the Ye Family Mansion.
