After leaving Yun Hu, Chen Yi took a shortcut and hurried towards the mountain with a burst of speed.

    Throughout his path, the Ma Zi Gang members lay injured or dead on the stone steps of the main road. Chen Yi had no reaction.

    His goals of destroying Ma Zi Gang, thwarting their plans, and crushing their middle and lower ranks had been achieved.

    What remained was to head up to the top, to the core of both sides'' confrontation.

    Plan two was in play.

    From a considerable distance away from the temple gate, Chen Yi could vaguely see a man dressed in black with a few of his men, in combat with Monk Guangzhi.

    That group was led by Xu Yuan, the Second Young Master of the Xu Family.

    However, due to lack of manpower and the intensity of Guangzhi''s Crescent Moon Blade, the Xu Family''s forces were being driven back.

    If it were not for taking the time to provide an escape route for the Ma Zi Gang, Xu Yuan would have already fled.

    However, being born into a grand family, Xu Yuan had a solid cultivation level, full of vitality and blood. Even with his longsword in hand,

    Against Guangzhi''s Crescent Moon Blade, he held his ground, occasionally throwing out a sword to relieve the pressure on his men.

    On the other side of the mountain, Monk Guangzhi struggled to hold his own despite performing brilliantly with his long blade.

    The two were evenly matched in strength, making it difficult to determine a short-term winner,

    Especially with Xu Yuan''s primary objective of dragging out time as much as possible.

    Meanwhile, Qi Ying''s whip-like kicks were leaving afterimages in the air, instantly crippling the Xu family''s guards within three to five moves.

    Seeing this, Xu Yuan grew anxious.

    He knew he was now at a disadvantage, probably due to a traitor within the Mazigang. However, as a son of the Xu family and the nominal leader of this operation,

    He couldn''t be the first to flee. In order to challenge his older brother for control of the family clan, he had to prove himself worthy. The underground forces of Ma Zi Gang were crucial to his plans.

    Moreover, he considered himself a martial genius, having achieved great success with Anjin at his young age, mastering a defense that was nearly foolproof.

    He also believed that Vice Head Yang, a Huajin expert, would arrive promptly to take control after receiving the news of the current circumstances.

    Hence, the Second Young Master Xu managed to resist Monk Guangzhi''s assault for nearly quarter of an hour.

    With this battle, he was risking his reputation, prestige, and courage.

    If everything went as planned, he could easily assume the position of nominal leader after the Ma Zi Gang was rebuilt.

    With the backing of this troop, how could his older brother possibly compete with him?

    With this in mind, a smug smile gradually appeared on Xu Yuan''s face.

    Despite the ongoing battle, he managed to hide some of his strength, thus maintaining a calm demeanor.

    However, his subordinates were gradually losing their combat ability under Qi Ying''s fierce attacks,

    This made Xu Yuan somewhat anxious.

    What was taking Vice Head Yang so long to arrive?!

    Just then, a figure in grey clothes quickly sprang out from the side of the mountain path and rushed towards the battlefield of Guangzhi and Xu Yuan.

    The figure moved astonishingly fast, traversing the slope as if it were a flat ground and covered several ten feet in the blink of an eye.

    At this speed, it seemed like another Anjin martial artist was in their midst!

    Upon seeing this, both Guangzhi and Xu Yuan felt a chill.

    Who was this stranger they did not recognize?!

    Qi Ying, on the other hand, was delighted to see this, "Is it my Junior Brother Yun Hu? When did he become so fast? And is he using our Eight Steps Chasing Cicada Body Technique?"

    However, this was not the time for questions. They needed to get over the current difficulty first.

    Currently, the battlefield was tense, with the monks of Lingyin Temple having the upper hand and continually pressing down on Xu Yuan''s side.

    Chen Yi felt that the third minor plan of the second major plan had come into play-

    Beat someone when they are down!

    So he boldly charged forward.

    If it was Xu Yuan and his group dominating the fight against Lingyin Temple, Chen Yi would choose the fifth sub-plan in Plan 2, prioritizing rescuing Qi Ying.

    Now, huh, I bought a boat from you, the Xu family, yet you were able to rob me, right?

    "Second young master, fear not! I am here to help you!!"

    Chen Yi roared loudly, rushing straight into the battlefield between Xu Yuan and Monk Guangzhi.

    Neither of them recognized Chen Yi, but anyone appearing here wearing the uniform of Ma Zi Gang

    must undoubtedly be a member of Ma Zi Gang!

    As for the second young master of the Xu family, it was not uncommon for him to be unfamiliar with an ordinary gang member when he already knew the two gang leaders and four King Kongs of Ma Zi Gang.

    Moreover,

    Didn''t you see how Monk Guangzhi''s face turned extremely ugly, and at this moment, he even reduced the strength of his Crescent Moon Blade?

    This was obviously due to him being wary of the approaching person!

    "Hahahaha! Well done, let''s butcher this bald monk together, and when we return, I''ll have Ma San Dao reward you!!"

    Xu Yuan laughed heartily, swinging his longsword three times faster!

    He had been concealing his strength as a precaution, but now, if he could slay Guangzhi, the credit would be greater, and his future reputation in Ma Zi Gang would likely surpass even the vice head!

    A sportsman''s strength, if not used now, then when!

    "Bald thief, prepare to die!!"

    Chen Yi charged forward. As his figure flickered, the air around him swirled,

    although he was still far away, his aura was already exceptional,

    Upon seeing this, the two bodyguards behind Xu Yuan stepped aside, allowing this expert of Ma Zi Gang to enter the fray without any obstruction,

    Chen Yi showed no mercy. He raised his right fist,

    his Vitality and Blood surged like a torrent, the power of Anjin and Mingjin alternated, accumulating momentum,

    his fist glowed a dark black light,

    On the surface, his fist was displaying the spectacle of Iron Skin Great Success, but in the dark,

    Chen Yi''s knuckles were already coated with a layer of black force!

    "Anjin secret technique. Double Mountain Opening!"

    Suddenly, Chen Yi shot out from Xu Yuan''s side, raising his fist and smashing it towards Monk Guangzhi, looking like a desperate gambler!

    "Good, kill him!" Xu Yuan was greatly stimulated, his longsword trembled, power spurted out, not holding back a bit. His heart was throbbing, success was at hand!

    However, Guangzhi was extremely cautious, continuously retreating. Even without direct contact, he could feel that the man''s Iron Fist was not to be underestimated!

    Yet,

    At that moment, a sudden scream came from the foot of the mountain, "NO!!!!!!"

    Huh? Who''s shouting? By the sound of it, could it be Vice head Yang?

    Just as the second young master of Xu family was considering this,

    Boom!!

    Chen Yi''s punch hit Xu Yuan''s temple,

    With the violent ejection of Anjin, an intertwining mixture of red and white fluids spurted out of Xu Yuan''s other temple! Sear?h the n??el Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Xu Yuan didn''t even have time to feel the pain before his thoughts slowly stopped.

    In the last second, he clearly saw the man beside him:

    Weren''t you from Ma Zi Gang who came to help me kill this bald monk, why are you hitting me?

    Did... did I just die?!

    Boom!!

    With a ''thud'', the second young master of Xu Family fell to the ground. His blood and brains flowed across the ground,

    even in death, his eyes were wide open, looking puzzled. We were supposed to be on the same side, why did you hit me?
