CHAPTER 820: CHAPTER 809: DON’T WANT TO COURT DEATH

"What, Ye Zhen isn’t here to intercept the martial artists supporting the Changlin Defense Zone, but to directly attack our Flying Tiger Hall?"

In the skies above the main hall of the Flying Tiger Hall, Hall Master Heu Zixiong was once again stunned by the scout’s report he had just received.

Startled for a few breaths, he hurriedly waved his hand to send out several Talisman Communications, summoning back the reinforcements dispatched to various defense zones. If the Red Fire Subdivision was directly attacking the main hall of the Flying Tiger Hall, then dividing his forces now would be a major taboo!

However, this intelligence still left Heu Zixiong with an inexplicable sense of anger and humiliation!

"How dare he?"

"On what basis? What does he have to directly attack our main hall of the Flying Tiger Hall? Does he think he’s leading an army of Establishment Kings? We’ve run the main hall of the Flying Tiger Hall for so many years, even if several Establishment Kings come, we can still resist!

On what basis?"

Heu Zixiong’s face turned beet red, like a man who’s been cuckolded, furious beyond measure!

Of course, it wasn’t that Heu Zixiong’s reaction was excessive, but that Ye Zhen’s current intention was truly humiliating!

Why did the allied forces of the Longevity Sect and the Heavenly Net Sect not dare to directly attack the Red Fire Subdivision, but instead lured the main force of the Red Fire Subdivision out for a battle outside!

Formation!

The main reason is the formation!

The location of a gang’s hall is very particular; the more powerful the gang, the more important and careful the choice of location, requiring a Spirit Vein, and the more the better!

Usually, the location of the altar has two or three spirit veins underneath, and then one can set up a Mountain Protection Array type formation, directly harnessing the power of the subterranean spirit veins for defense!

Once this type of formation is activated, it covers a wide area, has great power, and is very advantageous for the defending side!

Take the Nine Earth Sealing Heaven Trapping Spirit Formation of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect’s main temple; once started, it can firmly protect a radius of thirty miles around the core of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect’s main temple, and cannot be breached by less than three times the enemy!

Don’t look down on the Flying Tiger Hall just because it’s a small hall in a small martial city; it’s not on the same level as the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, but Hall Master Heu Zixiong is very aware of the power of their Great Formation of the Hall Guard!

This Great Formation of the Hall Guard comes from the support of the power behind him, and its power is not lower than that of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect’s Sect-Guarding Great Formation!

More than sixty years ago, shortly after he established his foundation in the Red Fire Martial City, he encountered the greatest crisis!

At that time, it was with the help of the Great Formation of the Hall Guard called the One Qi Three Light Turtle Xuan Formation that they endured. The enemy was four times their number, and under the enemy’s successive attacks, they managed to hold out for three days with the formation, until reinforcements arrived and turned the tide!

And now, hearing that Ye Zhen dared to directly attack the main hall of the Flying Tiger Hall with only ninety or so Vein Forging Realm martial artists and five or six hundred Soul Sea Realm martial artists, which is less than half of the Flying Tiger Hall’s strength, what is this if not humiliation?

"Hall Master, Ye Zhen has too much courage, right? We currently have one hundred and thirty Vein Forging Realm martial artists in the main hall, and one hundred and thirty Heavenly Level Lower Grade and Mid-grade Demon Beasts. In terms of number of martial artists, it is nearly three times that of the Red Fire Subdivision; why don’t we just go up and level them!" Golden Tiger Guard Commander Zhu Huayu said with a face full of evil Qi!

The frustrating part is that as soon as he finished speaking, Commander of the Black Tiger Guards Jiangg Biao poured a bucket of cold water on him, "Our one hundred and thirty Heavenly Level Lower Grade Mid-grade Demon Beasts don’t even have the courage to lift their heads in front of that Cloud Winged Tiger King!"

"Two Demon-Annihilating Generals, cannons capable of delivering an attack equivalent to the full force of an Establishment King; who can stop them in the wild?"

"And the still unseen True Person Black Water!"

The successive reminders from Jiangg Biao and White Tiger Guard Commander Lio Jiang forcibly made Golden Tiger Guard Commander Zhu Huayu swallow back his words he was about to utter.

Meanwhile, the furious and humiliated Heu Zixiong, Hall Master of the Flying Tiger Hall, was also brought to his senses by these reminders and immediately made the right decision!

The other side had so many unconventional means; facing them in the wild would be a huge loss for the Flying Tiger Hall, and defeat was very possible!

"Pass my order, everyone return to the main hall, activate the Great Formation of the Hall Guard, maintain the formation at full strength! With the Great Formation of the Hall Guard, all those Demon-Annihilating Generals, Cloud Winged Tiger King, True Person Black Water, they’re all going to be defeated!"

With Heu Zixiong’s order, the thousands of Flying Tiger Hall martial artists who just took to the air all returned to the hall. Nearly ten Vein Forging Realm martial artists presiding over the formation began ascending, casting formation formulas, lights rising, and soon, an incredibly thick earth-yellow light rose from the ground, like fog, and within ten breaths, enveloping the entire main hall of the Flying Tiger Hall!

A low and majestic turtle roar suddenly sounded from the center of the formation, and the earth-yellow mist began to change, condensing into an enormous turtle shadow.

The turtle shadow hovered over the main hall of the Flying Tiger Hall, and with one glance, it gave everyone in the Flying Tiger Hall an immeasurable sense of reassurance!

"Let’s go, let’s enter the formation too and see what they can do about me! Maintaining this formation at full strength, even if the Red Fire Subdivision’s martial artists double, they can’t break through!"

With that, Heu Zixiong entered the formation first, but as Black Tiger Guard Commander Jiangg Biao stepped forward and asked, "Hall Master, what if they just keep blocking us? And, we might lose all our territory outside the city!"

"I actually hope they block us! Five days ago, I already sent an urgent Dao Talisman Communication there; they’ve dispatched reinforcements, but the distance is far, and they’re expected to arrive in two days!"

Saying that, Heu Zixiong fiercely waved his fist, "Two days, just hold on for two days, hmph!"

"As for the territory outside, let them capture it if they can. As long as our power remains, once reinforcements arrive, they’ll have to obediently spit it all back out!"

"Brilliant, Hall Master!" praised Zhu Huayu, the Golden Tiger Guard Commander, promptly flattering.

Jiang Biao, Commander of the Black Tiger Guards, and Lio Guang, Commander of White Tiger Guard, simultaneously turned to glance at the radiant light emerging in the distance, brought forth by nearly a thousand martial artists from the Red Fire Subdivision.

Exchanging a glance, an inexplicable worry flashed in both their eyes. They always had this feeling that the matter was not as simple as it appeared!

Especially since previous intelligence had shown Ye Zhen’s terrifying strategic capabilities as a commander, easily trapping the allied forces of the Longevity Sect and the Heavenly Net Sect. How could he be making such a foolish decision now?

However, doubt remained doubt. The two still stepped into the formation. No matter how many schemes the Red Fire Subdivision harbored, Hall Master Heu Zixiong’s current approach was the most prudent!

Coincidentally, as Ye Zhen led his underlings straight toward the Main Hall of the Flying Tiger Hall, disputes within the team grew increasingly louder, especially among those Brotherhood Vein Forging Realm martial artists!

They had initially thought Ye Zhen was leading them to intercept reinforcements from the Flying Tiger Hall dispatched to various defense zones, which was quite an easy task. With a Demon-Annihilating General on their side and a Cloud Winged Tiger King capable of annihilating low-level Establishment Kings, they had a huge advantage. Following behind, they could essentially just pick up the spoils!

But now, they realized that Ye Zhen was heading straight for the main hall of the Flying Tiger Hall, daring to attack it with such a small force!

All the Brotherhood’s Vein Forging Realm martial artists had been mingling in the Red Fire Martial City for a long time and knew the situation inside very well. They were also very aware of the power of the Flying Tiger Hall’s Great Formation of the Hall Guard!

Being willing to ambush Flying Tiger Hall martial artists in the wild was one thing, but attacking their main hall with so few men was just courting death!

"Grand Leader, we supported you in cooperating with Lord Ye earlier, but now we’re heading to attack the main hall of the Flying Tiger Hall. With so few of us, aren’t we just looking to die?"

"Grand Leader, if this Ye fellow wants his Red Fire Subdivision to go die, we don’t care, but you can’t drag us along to our deaths too!"

"Leader, yeah, we can’t go, this is suicide!"

The two Brotherhood leaders named Zhou Wei and Yan Zu first voiced their dissent. Quickly, the Brotherhood martial artists started making a scene. Several small leaders surrounded the Grand Leader Yuen An, demanding to leave immediately!

Yuen An was also infuriated, roaring again and again but to no avail. The Brotherhood’s rapid expansion in recent days had shown its downside—Yuen An’s control over the newly formed Brotherhood was still insufficient!

The chaotic scene with the Brotherhood martial artists caused Ye Zhen to frown!

Courting death?

Would Ye Zhen do something that would court death?

According to Ye Zhen’s plan, even with just these over thirty Vein Forging Realm martial artists from the Red Fire Subdivision, they could still breach the main hall of the Flying Tiger Hall.

But the problem was, after breaching it, over thirty men against the other side’s thousands—no matter how formidable they were, they couldn’t cope. Therefore, Ye Zhen needed the Brotherhood’s martial artists to bolster the ranks; they were indeed essential for the battle!

Ye Zhen’s displeasure made the Grand Leader Yuen An both tense and embarrassed.

However, no matter how much Yuen An spoke and used tactics, he couldn’t manage to pacify the group. More and more martial artists joined the suggestion to leave. If Yuen An didn’t have some prestige as the Brotherhood’s Grand Leader, some might have left directly!

Helplessly, Yuen An looked at Ye Zhen with extreme embarrassment, unable to do anything else; his trusted subordinate Wu had been killed with one palm by True Person Black Water, whom Ye Zhen had disguised as, and those before him weren’t yet at the confidant stage!

Seeing Yuen An’s pleading glance, Ye Zhen was also enraged!

Pushing through the crowd, Ye Zhen walked over to the two most vocal Brotherhood leaders, Zhou Wei and Yan Zu!

"I heard you two don’t want to do this anymore and want to leave?" Ye Zhen’s eyes narrowed to slits as he coldly looked at the two most outspoken individuals!

The two were startled by Ye Zhen’s sinister expression, but seeing so many Brotherhood martial artists around, their courage returned, and they nodded heavily towards Ye Zhen, "That’s right, because we don’t want to go to our deaths!"

"Hmph, who told you that you’re going to your deaths? Do you think this Hall Master is going to his death?"

"Even a blind person could see that with so few men, attacking the main hall of the Flying Tiger Hall is certain death!" Zhou Wei’s face was full of defiance!

"Since you think it’s sending you to your deaths, then you two should leave immediately! Someone, send them away!" With Ye Zhen’s cold declaration, four Red Fire Subdivision martial artists came in, intending to forcefully escort the two away!

Unexpectedly, Zhou Wei started to struggle fiercely, "No, we’re not leaving!"

"Not leaving? Why?" Ye Zhen’s expression suddenly turned extremely grim!

"We want to take other brothers and leave together. We can’t watch other brothers follow you to their deaths......"

Before Zhou Wei could finish his sentence, Ye Zhen coldly uttered two words, "Courting death!"

Almost simultaneously, Ye Zhen struck with both palms, and Zhou Wei and Yan Zu exclaimed, "You dare, brothers......"(. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
