This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick! Chapter 114 – Chapter 114: Chapter 100 – Ambush from All Sides_2

Chapter 114: Chapter 100 – Ambush from All Sides_2

Da Lan Dynasty held blue in high esteem, so those who could afford to wear clothes made of fine blue silk were certainly of extraordinary status. Ordinary people dared not dress that way.

“Chief, I have seen you!”

Upon ascending the stairs and seeing the figure from behind, the martial artist from Tiger Saber Gang immediately bowed down.

The middle-aged man in the blue robe turned around.

His appearance was somewhat refined, giving off a casual yet elegant vibe; however, his aura was very profound, creating a contradictory impression.

This person was none other than Yan Yichen from Zhi Ge Court, both an imperial official and a Tao Foundation Stage powerhouse!

In terms of status in Xing City, he actually should have been second only to Gu Zhenhui. However, having stayed away from worldly affairs and spent most of his time in seclusion over the years, his presence had diminished, allowing Yu Hu to come to prominence.

In fact, even the members of Tiger Saber Gang were puzzled, unsure if Yu Hu or Yan Yichen was taking the lead.

Wu Yihua had specially tried to probe Zhang Mingze earlier just to understand this point.

Now, Yan Yichen had come regarding the matter with Zhang Mingze, seemingly taking orders from Yu Hu.

“How is it going?”

Yan Yichen asked.

“Reporting to Chief, both Lords Hong Jing and Dai Huaxing together are not the match for that person; they are somewhat unable to hold the line,” said the martial artist from Tiger Saber Gang.

“So it really is that Big Leader.”

Yan Yichen remarked.

Both Hong Jing and Dai Huaxing were certified martial masters. Coupled with the support of other martial masters and martial artists, and with armed personnel using crossbows and firearms surrounding them, such a configuration should have been formidable. If they could not hold off the assailant, it had to be a Tao Foundation Stage powerhouse at play.

Yan Yichen stood up and turned to look in the direction of the continuous gunfire outside the window.

“Nie Yang, according to the plan we've already drawn up, prepare to encircle and kill!” Yan Yichen said with a murderous look in his eyes.

“Yes.”

The young man with a sword standing beside him bowed in response.

“After today, no one in Xing City will be my opponent!”

Yan Yichen picked up the teacup on the table, drained it in one gulp, then abruptly soared up from the third-floor window.

The Tao Foundation Stage powerhouse leapt continuously from one rooftop to another, racing towards the site of the battle at a tremendously fast pace!

Snap!

The teacup he had just finished drinking from hit the ground only after the Chief of Zhi Ge Court had disappeared from sight.

It shattered into pieces.

…

“Master, Chief Yan has made his move.”

Soon, Zhang Mingze got the message that Yan Yichen was taking action in the convoy.

“Order everyone not to rush into action, follow commands,” Zhang Mingze instructed.

After the messenger left, he turned to the window and murmured,

“So quickly revealing your biggest trump card? How will you play your game now?”

…

On Bell Tower Street, atop the bell tower.

Li Fei watched the chaos caused by Shangguan Xiao from afar, watching more and more people rush towards her, watching her push forward like an unstoppable force.

Until he saw a figure leaping from rooftop to rooftop, reminiscent of Spiderman in a past life, moving at an extremely fast speed towards the direction of Shangguan Xiao.

“Yan Yichen?”

Li Fei looked grave, “He really did come.”

“Are you talking about the Chief from Zhi Ge Court?”

The man next to him, Xu Si, asked curiously when he heard Li Fei's remark.

Li Fei looked at him, “You know of this name as well?”

Xu Si smiled, “The Chief of Zhi Ge Court, a Tao Foundation Stage powerhouse, who in Xing City wouldn't know?”

He then gazed into the distance towards Shangguan Xiao's battleground, deep in thought,

“To have Chief Yan personally intervene, could it be that person is the Big Leader of Qingyuan Fist Village? Then you…”

“Heh, you're quite sharp.”

Li Fei smiled and said, “Today's arrangement, your Master Zhang seems to be fishing for me, but his actual scheme is much bigger. Worthy of being the Master of the Tiger Saber Gang.”

Although Xu Si couldn't see Li Fei's expression through the mask, he felt that Li Fei was completely composed and didn't seem panicked by Yan Yichen's intervention.

“Alright, it's your turn to take action.”

Li Fei patted Xu Si on the shoulder.

Xu Si trembled slightly and cautiously said,

“Please give your instructions, Ghost Lord.”

Li Fei pointed in the northwest direction, “Send a signal saying that there's a strong enemy coming from the northwest, with numbers exceeding fifty.”

Xu Si hesitated, looking toward the northwest.

That was the direction of Qingyuan Fist Village.

He didn't dare to waste time. He picked up two flags and leaned out from the railing again, following Li Fei's instructions, to send out the message.

After completing the task, he returned to Li Fei's side, thought it over, and said,

“Ghost Lord, since Master Zhang had invited Yan Shouzun over in advance, he surely would have arranged someone to guard against Qingyuan Fist Village as well. Sending such a message might not mislead Master Zhang.”

Li Fei looked at him, “Why would you remind me of this?”

Xu Si looked at him, “It's because I'm afraid that later, if you don't see the outcome you were expecting, you might think that I didn't pass on the message as you instructed, and in a fit of anger, you'd kill me.”

Li Fei laughed, “You are indeed smart.”

“However, I obviously knew that Master Zhang would guard against Qingyuan Fist Village.”

…

Before Li Fei had Xu Si send the message, a large group of people had suddenly rushed out of Qingyuan Fist Village.

Among these people were the village's own martial masters, martial artists, and their subordinates, including over a dozen elite boxers and several dozen skilled fighters, all armed with weapons!

Just as this group had not gone far from the village, squads of inspectors armed with rifles rushed out and blocked their way on the streets.

“Inspection Bureau handling a case, this street is off-limits now, back off!”

Captain Qian Hengjun of the third squadron shouted loudly.

Ever since Wu Yihua took office, Captain Qian had become a favored figure in the Inspection Bureau, handling many important tasks assigned by Wu Yihua.

Those in the know could tell that Wu Yihua was planning to promote Qian Hengjun to replace Li Lei's position.

Facing the dark muzzles ahead, the people from Qingyuan Fist Village stopped in their tracks.

On the street, both parties stood in a standoff.

…

“Master, we've received news from the Bell Tower saying that a group of about fifty people has emerged from the Qingyuan District and is heading our way.”

Soon, Zhang Mingze received the message.

“Qingyuan District? From Qingyuan Fist Village? Inspector's couldn't hold them back? Qingyuan Fist Village dares to openly attack the Inspection Bureau?”

Zhang Mingze was somewhat surprised.

“Is the message confirmed?”

“There hasn't been any report from Qingyuan Fist Village yet, but there indeed were gunshots heard from that direction.”

“Send a reserve team to check the situation. Also, inform Wu Yihua that once it's confirmed that people from Qingyuan Fist Village have started the assault, immediately execute the planned annihilation of Qingyuan Fist Village!”

“Yes!”

The messenger left to carry out the orders.

Zhang Mingze pondered thoughtfully.

For today's setup, in order to lure the Green-faced Ghost or someone else to make a move against him, he intentionally allocated most of the combat power on the periphery and even purposely left some areas undermanned, providing an apparent opportunity for a successful assassination.

This way, while the trap was set, should someone manage to exploit those gaps and come close, they might indeed have a chance to get directly to him.

Thus, the crux of the plan was for him to be able to swiftly mobilize the combat power on the outskirts to fill those gaps and block and obliterate all people who entered the trap!

For this, Zhang Mingze not only invited Yan Yichen and a group of experts from Zhi Ge Court, but he had also arranged for people to continuously monitor Qingyuan Fist Village, ensuring the village's top fighters had never left, then stationed the Inspection Bureau outside Qingyuan Fist Village.

As soon as anyone from the village tried to leave, the Inspection Bureau would immediately intercept them.

If the village's people dared to act, the Inspection Bureau then had a legitimate reason to open fire and take the chance to annihilate Qingyuan Fist Village!

In addition to this, Zhang Mingze also hadn't forgotten about Hao Yi still in the Martial Arts Hall and the similarly suspected Chen Family.

He had prearranged people to watch all the top fighters in the Martial Arts Hall and the Chen Family.

Thus, whichever side moved, he would be the first to know and could arrange for a reserve team to respond.

A foolproof plan!
