The space in the house was limited. A group of soldiers were forced to rush forward with weapons in fear. Even if they saw people falling in front of them, they had to step on the corpses and rush forward.
The soldiers at the bottom couldn't distinguish the situation at all. They only knew that if they didn't obey the order, they would die more miserably. They began to rush forward while screaming.
Shang Chaozong and others suddenly became highly nervous. They waved their swords and spears to resist desperately. They were constantly pressed to the corner, and it seemed that they couldn't do anything.
Boom! A few figures flew in from outside the house and knocked over a group of people in the house.
Amidst the screams, Yuan Gang brandished his saber and charged in. His body was covered in blood. He had killed his way out of the crowd outside. He did not even know how many people he had killed along the way. In short, he killed anyone he saw, and anyone who blocked his way died under his saber.
There were more than a dozen arrows behind him. There were also arrows in front of him, but they had fallen. There were also wounds on his body from swords and spears.
His Body Hardening Technique could only withstand blunt objects at present. At first, he was worried when he saw many archers, so he pulled the door to block. After being hit by the arrow, he found that although his body couldn't withstand the attack of sharp weapons, the sharp weapons had offset a lot of force after penetrating the surface of his body. The muscles under his skin could completely clamp the arrows to continue to penetrate, so he rushed in freely.
It couldn't be helped that he was hit by the arrow. One person facing so many people, and there were so many archers, he couldn't defend from all sides.
Yuan Gang charged into the house aggressively, waving his blade and chopping down a few more people like a god of death. Seeing that the Shang Dynasty Sect was forced into a corner, Yuan Gang did not dare to slack off. He immediately waved his Triple-Howl Blade and charged forward, cleaving a path of blood as he slaughtered his way through, leaving behind a trail of screams.
He was so powerful that no one could stop him. Once the attackers' swords and spears hit his sword, the weapons would be knocked away.
Although he was covered in blood, it was easy to recognize him because of his size. Shang Chaozong and others glanced at him and were delighted. It was Yuan Gang. The people of Niu Youdao really came. The morale of the side that was desperately resisting was naturally boosted.
How could the Feng brothers let Yuan Gang succeed? Things had come to this point, and the Feng Family had no way out. They couldn't afford to fail.
Feng Ruojie suddenly leaped up and stepped on a pillar. She leaped into the air and leaped over the crowd below. She shook her spear and fiercely thrust it towards Yuan Gang's head.
While charging, Yuan Gang turned around and slashed furiously all the way. He swung his arm and grabbed the spear shaft that was thrusting at him from above. Then, he pulled the spear shaft down and thrust it upwards.
Bang! Feng Ruojie's eyes popped out when the spear struck her abdomen. It was as if she had been struck by a heavy hammer, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
He didn't expect Yuan Gang's strength to be so terrifying. If it weren't for the armor he was wearing, he would have been pierced by the spear.
He let go of the pistol and flew towards the roof. He hit the beam and fell down, knocking over a few people below.
"Second Brother!" Feng Ruoyi cried out in alarm. He also leapt up and stepped on the shoulder of the soldier below him. He raised his spear and ran over.
Yuan Gang, who had snatched the spear, swung it in a circle. Amidst the banging sounds, the people surrounding him were swept away. Those who were swept away either vomited blood or had their bones broken.
Yuan Gang walked past Feng Ruojie, who was crawling up while vomiting blood, and swung the blade in his hand.
"Ah!" Feng Ruojie, who had turned around and was about to run, let out a shrill scream and fell to the ground again. She had been cut into two halves along with her armor. A blade pierced through her armor.
"Die!" Feng Ruoyi, who had his eyes wide open, roared angrily.
Yuan Gang swung the spear shaft in his hand backwards.
Pa! The two spears collided. Feng Ruoyi's spear shaft flew out of his hands. The web between his thumb and forefinger was torn by a huge force, causing blood to burst out. He was also hit by his own spear shaft and fell into the crowd.
Yuan Gang couldn't be bothered with him for now. He was anxious to help Shang Chaozong and the rest.
The space in the house was limited, and there were too many people gathered. Yuan Gang couldn't easily use his bow and arrows, causing Yuan Gang to have nothing to fear. He swung his blade with one hand and swept his spear with the other. Everywhere he went, people screamed. Very quickly, he had cleared the area that Shang Chaozong and the rest were facing.
Most importantly, to a group of soldiers, Yuan Gang was too terrifying. With just a touch, they would either die or be crippled. Even with so many arrows stuck in his body, he was still fine. Even Feng Ruojie was killed.
The surrounding soldiers were all terrified and retreated in panic.
The house was filled with corpses and blood. Yuan Gang, who had stepped over the corpses, finally met up with Shang Chaozong and the rest.
Shang Chaozong and the rest were all panting. Shang Shuqing asked anxiously, "Where's Daoye?"
Yuan Gang didn't reply. Seeing that they were fine, he turned around and swung his blade again.
No one in the house dared to fight with him anymore. Arrows couldn't knock him down, spear couldn't knock him down, and saber couldn't kill him. There was no way to fight him. He was even scarier than a cultivator.
To a certain extent, this was indeed the case. Even though normal cultivators had transcendence energy, they definitely didn't have such a strong body. Cultivators were just hard to hurt. If they were to really injure Yuan Gang to such an extent, any cultivator wouldn't be able to take it. They would've long been chopped into meat paste.
Moreover, Yuan Gang was extremely strong. It was as if he had endless strength.
Seeing that he was coming for them again, the group of soldiers ran out of the house in a panic.
Nong Zhangguang also dragged the roaring Feng Ruoyi away. It was best for him to escape, temporarily avoiding the brunt of the attack.
Yuan Gang didn't know that he could fight so well in the past. This was his first time fighting so many people at close quarters.
The house was cleared, and they were temporarily safe. Yuan Gang's goal had also been achieved, so he didn't go out to pursue them. Instead, he flashed back to the corner of the house and stood on top of the pile of corpses. He asked, "Prince, are you guys alright?"
They were fine for the time being. However, Yuan Gang seemed to be in trouble. There were so many wounds on his body, and so many arrows stuck in his back. It was a terrifying sight.
Shang Chaozong asked, "Master Yuan, are you alright?"
"I'm fine!" Yuan Gang replied. Only then did he have time to free his hands. He grabbed the arrows stuck in his back and pulled them out one by one.
Meng Shan Ming, who was sitting in a pool of blood, gasping for breath with his spear, nodded and said, "Brother Yuan's bravery is unparalleled. Even the bravery of taking the head of a general from a million soldiers can't compare to this!"
After fighting with all his might, his old bones were really exhausted. The fighting spirit that he had mustered up to fight to the death finally dissipated. He instantly felt exhausted and couldn't take it anymore.
Shang Shuqing asked again, "Is Daoye here?"
Yuan Gang wouldn't say anything else. After all, he was someone who protected Niu Youdao's prestige. He replied, "Daoye is still dealing with the Heavenly Jade Society. It's not convenient for him to show himself for the time being. He ordered us to come and save him!"
Outside the house, Yuan Feng and his men were also in a dangerous situation. There were too many enemies. Under the rain of arrows, some of them couldn't dodge in time and more than ten of them had already fallen. They could only use the obstacles as cover and continuously return fire to prevent the enemy from getting close. However, the arrows they brought were limited and they couldn't hold on for long.
Niu Lin led a group of men and escaped to the attic. After using up all their arrows, they snatched their weapons and guarded the passage to the attic. Faced with the endless stream of enemies, they were in a miserable state.
Fortunately, Yuan Gang didn't abandon them. After giving some instructions to Shang Chaozong and the others, he charged out of the house and welcomed his men into the main hall.
After this ordeal, only about sixty of the ninety men managed to retreat. More than thirty of them died in battle. Niu Shan, who had two arrows stuck in his back, was carried back.
It wasn't that they were incompetent, but they weren't meant to fight the enemy head-on, especially when they were surrounded. If it wasn't for the fact that they were in a desperate situation, Yuan Gang wouldn't have let his men take such a risk.
Once these men retreated into the main hall, they immediately moved the corpses in the hall to fill up the gaps. They took the crossbows left behind by the corpses and defended themselves. With Yuan Gang and the other brave men guarding the place, the enemy couldn't get any closer.
Meng Shanming, who was sitting in a corner, said, "We can't stay trapped here for long. Once the enemy brings the crossbows here, we won't be able to hold them off. We have to find a way to leave. Does Daoye have any plans?"
Yuan Gang turned around and looked at the smoke rising from the neighboring house. "There are too many enemies. They must have been alerted. Under such a heavy siege, there's no way we can fight our way out. Hopefully, the Heavenly Jade School will come as soon as they see the smoke and suppress the chaos. "
Drenched in sweat, Lan Ruoting asked, "Is the Heavenly Jade School still in the city?"
Yuan Gang knew that they didn't know. He replied, "I don't think it's the Heavenly Jade School who wants to kill you. I don't know what Feng Lingbo did, but she seems to have transferred all their men to the city walls."
Lan Ruoting asked again, "Will the people from the Heavenly Jade School come?"
Blade in hand, Yuan Gang replied, "There are some things that I can't explain right now. Now isn't the time to go into details. In any case, Daoye has already exerted a lot of pressure on the Heavenly Jade School. They won't dare to not come."
Lan Ruoting followed up with another question, "What if the people from the Heavenly Jade School don't come?"
"Then I can only bring one person with me to fight our way out. I'm not even sure if we can get out of the city!" Yuan Gang's gaze swept across the crowd and landed on Shang Chaozong.
His words weren't pleasant to hear, but they were the truth. Although he could fight, he couldn't protect too many people under the siege of a large army. He couldn't shrink a person into a pocket either. Instead, he had a living person with him. Protecting one person was already the best he could do.
In an instant, everyone understood. If this person was really going to bring one person to fight their way out, it could only be Shang Chaozong …
Inside the magistrate court, Feng Lingbo heard the news and ran to the courtyard. He ran up to the loft and looked at the smoke rising from their target's residence. His face instantly turned pale.
He hadn't received any news of their success, but now he was seeing such a commotion. Wouldn't it alarm the Heavenly Jade School?
Feng Lingbo's expression gradually twisted. He turned around and roared at his subordinates, "Pass down my orders. The surrounding troops are to rush to the aid of the two young masters to eliminate the thieves! Tell the two young masters to capture the thieves at all costs. Hurry! "
His demeanor was bordering on hysteria.
"Yes!" The messenger received the order and rushed off.
…
"What's going on?"
One of the Heavenly Jade School cultivators that Peng Yulan had brought along to patrol suddenly pointed to the sky.
Immediately, a few people flew from the streets to the rooftops, including Peng Yulan. They landed on the rooftops and looked into the distance.
Peng Yulan's expression turned cold as she looked in the direction she saw. She didn't know what was going on over there. How could they let the smoke rise? Were they afraid that the Heavenly Jade School wouldn't know?
She also didn't know if they had succeeded or not.
"Senior Sister, something seems to have happened. Should we go and take a look?"
As soon as a Heavenly Jade School disciple spoke, Peng Yulan flashed her token with a flip of her hand and said sternly, "Everyone, stay where you are. Those who disobey will be severely punished according to the school rules!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly flew away. She couldn't care less about suppressing her fellow disciples anymore. She wanted to see what was going on.
If she still didn't succeed, then as his mother-in-law, she would have no choice but to kill her own son-in-law in front of everyone. She couldn't care less about the infamy. At this point, there was really no turning back.
