Amidst the commotion, the light from the fire was chaotic. As Ning Yi shouted, everyone in the hall had their own reactions.
He Zhong, Xin Tiecheng, and the others were busy protecting themselves. Xiao Cheng and the others from the Wu Sheng Army also had similar reactions. He Shuyuan tried to go up, but the Great Radiant Cult's Guardians that Lin Zongwu had brought along were experts. However, they were not top-notch experts like Wang Nantuo. They sat at the lower round table and were immediately held back by Tian Donghan and the others that Ning Yi had brought in.
The stool in Ning Yi's hand knocked He Shuyuan to the ground. On the other side, Dong Pang'er's envoy, Chen Jiu, and the others were still shouting, "Rentu Ning, don't be rash …" Then, they realized that since the other party's nickname was the Bloody-Handed Rentu, no ordinary person would be able to stop him if he went berserk.
On Lou Shuwan's side, the girl saw the sudden chaos. Her eyes were rolling and her body was trembling slightly. She said to Yu Lin and the rest in a low voice, "Go stop him, go stop him …" Her target was naturally Ning Yi. However, Yu Yulin had already felt the chaos inside and outside the hall. He hurriedly shook his head, "Don't be rash." He also had a high status among the Tiger King's subordinates. Since he had spoken up in such a chaotic situation, Tian Shi and Qiu Guyan, who were on the other side, didn't take any action.
Amidst He Shuyuan's screams, Lou Shuwan gritted her teeth and rushed up. She pulled out a dagger from her sleeves and was about to stab Ning Yi's back! However, she was too inexperienced. When she stabbed, she shouted, "Ah …" Then, Ning Yi suddenly turned around and stared at her fiercely for a moment.
With a slap, Ning Yi swung his hand and slapped Lou Shuwan's face. Lou Shuwan fell to the ground, and the dagger flew out. Qiu Guyan was about to rush up when Zhu Biao blocked in front of Ning Yi. He also took a step forward and blocked in front of Lou Shuwan.
Lou Shuwan sat paralyzed on the ground and used her left arm to cover her right cheek. She stared at the ground beside her, her eyes red, but she didn't get up immediately. There was chaos around her.
On the other side of the hall, the host, Liang Bingfu, leaned on his walking stick and pursed his lips as he watched all this. Beside him, Zheng Ashuan was already shouting, "Men!" People had already rushed in through the small doors on both sides of the hall. Above the hall, people were running up with torches in their hands. The person in the lead was carrying an elm cannon. It was Yuwen Feidu, one of Takeshi's subordinates. He shouted, "Fatty, stop!" An expert from the Great Radiant Sect at the bottom of the hall leaped up in an attempt to stop him. Then he got into a fight with an expert from the Takeshi Sect.
Strong winds howled in the courtyard. The two Grandmasters were in the midst of a fierce battle and were unwilling to stop. A small stone pavilion at the side had been affected by Lin Zongwu's fist force and was collapsing. Meanwhile, Hong Ti, who had lost her weapon, did not seem to be at a disadvantage against Lin Zongwu's bare-handed attacks. Her figure was still like a spirit snake, and her steps and palms seemed to be stirring up a deep pool in the world. She moved in a circle and launched a series of attacks. She hit Lin Zongwu's arm and shoulder twice consecutively, producing a dull boom like that of a leather drum.
In the eyes of the experts present, that was the most vicious Heaven Flipping Palm among all the palm imprints. It was a penetrating force that would cause anything to collapse upon contact. Her pure external force could not be compared to Lin Zongwu's, but her method of exerting force had reached the pinnacle. Each palm strike was heavy and heavy, resulting in a bloody hand. Lin Zongwu was hit twice consecutively, and at the places where he was hit, his wide robe turned into flying shreds like butterflies. With a boom, he knocked Hong Ti toward the old pavilion. The pavilion's bluestone pillars collapsed, and the pavilion's stone cover fell. Amidst the endless smoke and dust, Hong Ti exchanged four palm strikes with him. Her figure danced like a giant snake as she retreated to the other side of the collapsed pavilion.
Lin Zongwu's footsteps were like that of a drunkard as he dashed into the pavilion. He smashed open the falling octagonal bluestone cover with a single fist, grabbed one of the pavilion's bluestone pillars with both hands, and swung it horizontally with a loud boom.
The small stone pavilion was crude, and there were four pillars. The bluestone pillars were two meters long and weighed several hundred kilograms. He swung it around like a windmill. The other stone pillars were struck. One of them exploded and shattered, while another flew over ten feet away. Hongti could only retreat in fear. The second swing came whistling over. She dodged it with a metal bridge, and then suddenly charged toward Lin Zongwu. The third swing came, and she suddenly hugged it.
In this instant, her figure was moving, and Lin Zongwu's enormous body was also being pulled. The two of them seemed to be fighting over that stone pillar, but also like they were pulling on a long rope. Their figures turned into a circle as they sprinted. Their feet kicked, swept, and stepped, and they stirred up dust in the remains of the pavilion. The small stone tables and stools inside were all flying and rolling in different directions. The dust filled the air, and it looked like the sudden arrival of a tornado.
This enormous destruction only lasted for a moment. The stone pillar flew up from Hong Ti's body and whistled past her head. It was unknown whether she had deliberately thrown it out, or whether Lin Zongwu's enormous strength had the upper hand. The two figures collided in the dust. Hong Ti's figure was sent flying, and on the other side, Lin Zongwu's footsteps were still as chaotic as a drunkard's. He charged to the other side along with the flying stone pillar, but he did not retreat far. He suddenly stopped, grabbed the stone pillar, and suddenly charged forward.
In the hall, armed with swords, spears, and crossbows, the Green Wood Stronghold soldiers and members of the Bamboo Shop had already surrounded them. Ning Yi took out the second gun he carried, and with a wild roar, fired a shot. The light of the fire rippled in the air. On the other side, Hong Ti stabilized her figure as she flew backward. The figure of the woman in the black dress spread her hands as if she was stirring up a huge vortex.
On the roof, sparks burned on the end of the elm cannon. Yuwen Feidu held a spear and used it to change the direction of the cannon. "Stop —"
Lin Zongwu swung the huge stone pillar at Lu Hongti like a prehistoric beast. The distance between the two of them was rapidly shortened. The stone pillar was swung horizontally.
Lu Hongti watched the figure coming over, but she did not retreat. Facing the stone pillar that was swung with great force, she withdrew her right hand and pressed out with her left. With one hand … she caught the stone pillar.
The stone pillar collided with her palm.
Boom — — Boom — — The stone pillar solidly hit Hong Ti. Under the tremendous force of the swing, the woman stomped on the stone pillar, sending dust and stones flying in the air. Then, her entire body was sent flying. Correspondingly, the stone pillar shattered, and she flew backward with Lin Zongwushan's mountain-like figure.
A loud boom resounded on the roof at the same time. Then, the fire pillar shot toward the wall on the side. Flames and debris danced in the air. Hongti's body flew six meters away, fell to the ground, and continued to roll. On the other side, it was an even more unimaginable scene. No one could understand what kind of huge blow Lin Zongwu had received. His huge body flew out like a boulder rolling down a mountain peak, smashing the outer wall of the courtyard of the gathering hall, and then the wall of a house next to it. His whole body sank into the darkness.
Even if another Lin Zongwu appeared, it would be almost impossible to send Lin Zongwu flying like this …
After rolling a few times on the ground, Red Ti's body seemed to have been lifted, sitting down on a round stone stool in the distance. Her body was arched, as if she was clutching her stomach, folding up her body like a shrimp. Her long hair scattered down, covering the side of her face, a few strands fluttering in the wind like mayflies in the night.
Ning Yi watched from afar. Hongti sat there silently without any movement, but half of her body was already covered in blood. Her left arm, which had taken Lin Zongwu's blow, drooped as if it had no strength left.
He took a deep breath. At this moment, he didn't know what to say. From that moment onwards, the hall mysteriously lost all sound. If Lin Zongwu died and Lu Hongti was in such a state, no one could imagine what would happen to them if they were to face the man nicknamed the Bloody-Handed Butcher. Everyone was completely shocked by the scene of Lin Zongwu being sent flying.
Fortunately, after a while, there was movement from the big hole in the room. A huge figure stood up from that side, his silhouette visible in the darkness. His loose robe was slightly torn, and blood could be vaguely seen. The voice of the Great Light Sect's Sect Leader was heard, enunciating each word clearly.
"Ning Liheng! How dare you interfere in my competition! "
Tian Donghan and the others, as well as the few Takeshi experts with bows, had already crossed the courtyard and were walking towards Lu Hongti.
Ning Yi looked at Hongti and took another deep breath. "I said, it's a draw! Who agrees? Who objects? "
The atmosphere was indescribably suffocating. After a while, sensing Tian Donghan and the others approaching, Hongti tilted her head and raised her right hand slightly. Zhu Biao approached Ning Yi and said in a low voice, "Senior Lu, she … is just recuperating …"
However, Ning Yi's expression did not change at all as he looked in that direction. In the huge hole in the room, Lin Zongwu finally laughed. "Haha, good! Since Ning Rentu is so determined, I'll give you some face today! "Miss Lu, the technique you used today, Yin and Yang coexist, combining hardness and softness. It's extremely mysterious! "I've also comprehended it today. If I can improve further in my martial arts in the future, it'll be thanks to Miss Lu's guidance. Thank you!"
Hongti raised her head. "That's what Liheng taught me. It's called Taiji Fist."
Lin Zongwu laughed again. "Taiji Fist, good name. "It's just that your status as a Grandmaster is so noble. In order to protect your lover, there's no need to use such a divine technique on him! "The mountains will not change, the rivers will flow forever. We'll meet again in the pugilistic world in the future. I'll take my leave now!"
After saying this, he dashed out of the door on the other side of the house, heading towards the courtyard where many followers were staying at the mountainside. The few experts from the Great Light Sect also hurriedly cupped their hands and bid farewell. Ning Yi said, "Quickly go and pacify your subordinates!" After the commotion just now, Tian Hu's men, Wu Sheng Jun's men, and Dong Pang 'er's men in the courtyard were all restless. They almost clashed with the hundreds of Green Wood Stronghold men that had been arranged earlier. At this moment, Xiao Cheng and the others hurriedly bid farewell and rushed down to pacify the situation. Ning Yi was about to walk over to Hongti's side when the man called Cheng spoke up from the side.
"Today … Today, there's still the matter of my Lü Liangshan. How can we just let it go like this? Ning Rentu, there are still more than five thousand people at the foot of the mountain …"
Ning Yi's figure froze. After a moment, he walked forward and his voice rang out.
"Lü Liangshan? It's only been a few years, but you've already forgotten how badly you were beaten up by the Liao people when they were harvesting grain! The millions of troops of the Wu Dynasty feared the Liao people like tigers and leopards on the battlefield because of scheming and plotting against each other. Two hundred thousand of them couldn't even defeat ten thousand of them, while twenty thousand of the Jurchen people could defeat eight hundred thousand of the Liao army! Now, the imperial court has issued a recruitment order to prevent the Jurchen people from invading the south. Once that happens, Lü Liangshan will be the first to bear the brunt. And you motley crew want to add sand to the Green Wood Stronghold! Fighting for power and profit?! Feel it! Outside! They've already started fighting! "
He stood next to Hongti.
"You want to join the Green Wood Stronghold and cooperate with us? Sure. Take the word out. Everything will be done according to the rules of the Green Wood Stronghold. Those who are willing to work hard and put their lives on the line will have food to eat. If you work hard enough, you will naturally have a seat. You will have glory, splendor, wealth, and peace. If you want to fight for power and profit … I'll trample you to death. "
The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder. Chen Jiu and the others were already panicking. Just now, after Yuwen Feidu fired the elm cannon, a firework rose into the night sky from the back of Green Wood Mountain. At this moment, the mountain several miles away from the Green Wood Stronghold had become a battlefield.
Flames and the remnants of the battle were scattered in the courtyard. The wind ruffled the woman's clothes and hair. Looking at the bloodstains on her hair, Ning Yi wanted to reach out, but he shrank back. The woman sat there and looked up at him. She smiled, but then the smile faded a little. It was a jerky smile that didn't look like a couple.
"You said it wasn't like that yesterday."
Hongti pulled his hand and stood up.
"I'm fine," she said again, "I, I'm injured … I need to apply some medicine …"
"I'll help you."
Ning Yi supported her and said it naturally. Hongti looked like she wanted to refuse …
The panic in the mountain hadn't subsided. A few miles away from the Green Wood Stronghold, the flames of war had begun to spread. Only in the courtyard, where the chaos had spread, did the atmosphere calm down …
