Although Ye Chuan's words contained a hint of barely perceptible reluctance, they were as firm as a rock. He knew that every choice he made at this moment was a turning point in the fate of the Dragon Capture Hall and even the entire force, and it weighed as heavily as a thousand pounds.
He turned around, his gaze transcending the boundaries of distance, locking onto Wu Tian, who stood proudly upright, seemingly able to withstand the might of heaven and earth. A complex mix of awe and resentment welled up in his heart.
"All personnel, heed my command!" Ye Chuan's voice echoed under the dome of the sports center, carrying an undeniable solemnity and authority. "Launch an encirclement and annihilation of Wu Tian! We must weave a net from all sides, leaving this villain nowhere to hide!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Yunfeng's eyes flashed with a faint mockery. He sighed inwardly at Ye Chuan's youthful arrogance, for issuing such a decisive order at this critical juncture, as if he did not care about the safety of those low-level martial artists.
Despite their large numbers, most of them were only second-grade martial artists, and some were even only first-grade martial artists.
Such cultivation is nothing more than a small boat adrift in a storm; in the eyes of someone as powerful as Wu Tian, they might not even be considered ants.
Qi Yunfeng took a deep breath, his tone calm and resolute: "Since the young master has made his decision, my Qi family will naturally obey. However, the Qi family is weak and alone, and we are willing to volunteer to guard all the entrances and exits to ensure that the thief has nowhere to escape."
After speaking, he didn't need to say anything more. With just a glance, the Qi family warriors understood and quickly rushed to the various exits to set up defenses.
In the blink of an eye, the figures of the Qi family warriors around Wu Tian almost disappeared.
Upon seeing this, Ma Rulong's eyes widened, and he cursed Qi Yunfeng inwardly for being extremely cunning, always managing to seize the initiative at crucial moments.
But he quickly composed himself, his eyes darting around as a plan formed in his mind. He cupped his hands to Ye Chuan and said, “Young Master, you are wise. Although the Ma family is not as well-established as the Dragon Capture Hall, we are willing to do our utmost to assist the Dragon Capture Hall and support all the experts in overcoming this difficult time together.”
After he finished speaking, the Ma family warriors, without needing any orders, spontaneously retreated to the outer perimeter, willingly serving as backup.
Witnessing this scene, Zhou Kewen understood the wisdom of Qi Yunfeng and Ma Rulong. They had avoided unnecessary sacrifices with their actions, but they had also put him in a dilemma.
However, since things had already come to this point, the optimal strategy had already been taken, and he could only adapt to the situation and look for other feasible paths.
He frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping over the corpses scattered on the ground, and then said in a deep voice, "In that case, the Zhou family will retreat to the background and reorganize the rear. Zhou family members, listen to my command and clean up the scene immediately."
Qi Yunfeng and Ma Rulong exchanged glances, their eyes filled with contempt and astonishment. They never expected Zhou Kewen to be so shameless as to make the excuse of retreating sound so dignified.
A deep, unfathomable smile appeared on Zhou Kewen's lips, a smile that seemed to say, "I was forced into this by you two old foxes."
Ye Chuan was completely unaware of the undercurrents between these three cunning old men, believing that all three were his solid support.
He stood tall before the crowd, full of vigor and spirit, and declared eloquently: "Now that we have each performed our duties, let us join hands and march forward, vowing to kill Wu Tian and never give up!"
"We swear to kill Wu Tian!"
The family members responded in unison, their voices surging like a tsunami, piercing through the clouds and splitting rocks, stirring every inch of the surrounding air, inspiring everyone and boosting morale to new heights.
On the other side, Wu Tian stood still, surrounded by faint fluctuations of spiritual energy, seemingly fully aware of everything happening around him.
A calm yet provocative smile played on his lips: "Come on, let me see what you're capable of."
In the sky, the weather suddenly changed, dark clouds loomed overhead, as if heaven and earth were enraged, foreshadowing an impending storm.
Lightning flashed like a dragon leaping, tearing through the sky, thunder roared, and the battlefield was instantly enveloped in a suffocating and urgent atmosphere.
"Wu Tian, today is your end!" Ye Chuan's voice was exceptionally clear amidst the thunder. He clenched his fist and shouted, his gaze fixed on Wu Tian. His spiritual energy surged around him, clearly indicating that he was ready to fight with all his might.
Wu Tian simply smiled calmly, his body trembled, and the spiritual energy around him erupted like a volcano, unstoppable, as if it wanted to devour everything that stood in his way.
"kill!"
At Ye Chuan's command, the elite troops of the Dragon Capture Hall surged out like a tidal wave, heading straight for Wu Tian.
Seeing this, Wu Tian curled up a contemptuous smile, "Since you want to die, then I'll grant your wish."
After he finished speaking, energy surged around him, converging into a vast and boundless energy storm.
Just as the atmosphere was becoming extremely tense, a sudden, sharp "crash" was heard, like the sound of glass breaking. The doors of the sports center shattered in the astonished gazes of everyone.
Immediately afterwards, with the roar of an engine like a beast, a two-wheeled motorcycle broke through the shattered barrier and rushed into the battlefield like lightning.
Before anyone could react, a charming yet resolute voice pierced the sky: "Dare to harm my junior brother in the slightest, and I'll turn you all to dust, hahaha—"
Before he finished speaking, a dense barrage of machine gun fire echoed through the sky like a torrential downpour, mercilessly pelting the Dragon-Capturing Hall warriors who were rushing towards Wu Tian.
"Puff puff puff!"
With a series of muffled thuds, the experts of the Dragon Capture Hall fell to the ground like leaves in the autumn wind. The gunfire, far from abating, intensified, plunging the still-shaken warriors into a death spiral once more. In the blink of an eye, the elite forces of the Dragon Capture Hall were almost completely wiped out.
The martial artists from the Ma and Zhou families, whether hiding in the rear or directly involved, were not spared and were mercilessly devoured by the machine gun fire. At this moment, everyone's heartbeat almost stopped, and the air was filled with bewilderment and shock.
Even Wu Tian was stunned; he had originally intended to stop them.
But realizing that the bullet was only meant to eliminate his obstacles, he stood calmly and watched the unexpected turn of events unfold.
"Creak!"
The motorcycle came to a steady stop beside Wu Tian with a perfect drift, as if bringing this scene to a magnificent close.
With a "click," the tripod gently fell, and a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a crop top and shorts jumped off the vehicle, her red braids flying, her long legs alluring, and her demeanor dashing.
With a heavy machine gun slung over her shoulder and her eyes sharp as an eagle's, she surveyed the entire scene and laughed with an air of heroic pride: "Who else dares to disrespect my junior brother? Step forward and let this old lady take a look!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd retreated like a receding tide. The shadow of the machine gun battle they had just witnessed still lingered in their hearts, and the heavy losses suffered by the Dragon Capture Hall were even more chilling.
Just as the atmosphere was tense, Jin Lingyun's clear and melodious voice rang out at the right time, with a hint of joy: "Second Senior Sister, you've finally arrived!"
She then turned to Wu Tian, her eyes sparkling with hope, and introduced, "Junior brother, this is my second senior sister, Jiang Qin."
