On one side was a palm strike with the strength of a 250-pound bear, and on the other side was a small but unusually heavy fist.
The moment the two collided, Fang Rong was forced back, while Jiang Yuan was bleed from the recoil.
Blood dripped down his fingers, pattering onto the cement floor.
Jiang Yuan felt no pain, but rather immense excitement. He had grasped the essence of the punch with that strike.
A good punch isn't just about having the right posture; you also need to unleash your internal power, concentrating all your strength into a single point and then unleashing it with tremendous force.
Just now, Jiang Yuan controlled at least 30% of the momentum. Don't underestimate this 30%, but when power is concentrated on one point, this 30% is undoubtedly terrifying.
Fang Rong's eyes were sinister; he was weighing something.
"Die!" Jiang Yuan picked up the knife Qin Shan had used earlier and used the Mountain-Splitting Knife Technique to slash at Fang Rong.
"etc!"
Fang Rong immediately called for a halt, but Jiang Yuan didn't care whether he stopped or not; there was no room for hesitation when life and death were at stake.
"Consider yourself lucky!" Fang Rong grabbed Qin Shan from the ground and ran out of the alley.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan did not give chase. He knew very well why Fang Rong was running away; it wasn't because he was afraid of him, but because he felt it wasn't worth it.
Even if he were to win by sheer luck, he still wouldn't be able to leave this place with the only cultivation technique.
Fang Rong's initial plan was to seize the only cultivation technique unharmed and then escape with it using the power within his body. However, he did not expect that Jiang Yuan alone would cause him so much trouble, let alone how to save his life after taking the technique.
So Fang Rong simply retreated, but Jiang Yuan understood that this guy would definitely not give up, but would instead lurk nearby.
Jiang Yuan sheathed his sword. Qin Shan's sword was only of the third rank, not even as good as his previous Iron-Breaking Sword. However, the Iron-Breaking Sword was almost broken when he was cutting through the stone gate, so he could only make do with it for now.
"They really are a bunch of persistent tagalongs!"
Just as Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, the pursuers swarmed up from behind.
"Brother Jiang Yuan, are you going to a warlord's place?" Zhu Penghai kicked Xue Yuanzheng away.
Because of Fang Rong's escape, Xue Yuanzheng and the others did not dare to linger. They knew that this guy had already killed a lot of people, and they did not want to have a rose thrown at them.
"How did you know?" Jiang Yuan paused for a moment.
"Could it really be Xu Lian who caused such a ruckus among the warlords yesterday morning?" Zhu Penghai exclaimed in surprise. He muttered to himself, "No wonder I was quite puzzled when I heard about it. How come one of the female assassins used a talent that looked so much like Xu Lian's!"
"Are they alright?" Jiang Yuan asked this question with great anxiety. Ning Yanlan's position in his heart had unknowingly risen to its peak.
"It's hard to say. One of them had his clothes mostly removed and hung in front of the warlord to be exposed to the sun for two days! One was seriously injured and escaped, and the other fell into the hands of the warlord and his whereabouts are unknown!" Zhu Penghai said with a frown.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan was immediately enraged. He was 100% certain that it was Ning Yanlan and the other two.
"Go and take a look quickly, we'll hold things off for you here for a while!" Zhu Penghai noticed the change in Jiang Yuan's emotions; it was like a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey, on the verge of exploding.
"Thanks!"
Jiang Yuan's hands were trembling, and he rushed towards the location of the warlord in the south city as fast as he could.
Ten seconds after he left, the adventurers from various cities arrived at the alley.
"Detonate! Move out!"
Zhu Penghai had already planted the explosives during the ten-second gap. He detonated the explosives when the main force arrived, and then the Gale Squad immediately rushed back to the camp.
"Brother, this is all we can do to help!" Zhu Penghai sighed, looking in the direction Jiang Yuan had left.
The only technique is a man-eating vortex, and with Jiang Yuan heading straight for the warlord in the southern city, it will only amplify the vortex's terror. They can't get involved in this mess.
"The beast tide is tomorrow, let's go back and prepare! Too many people are greedy for the unique cultivation technique, it's better for us to seize this practical opportunity!" Xiong Yong said.
"Alas, everyone is struggling to survive, and can only hope for the best!" Zhu Penghai sighed, then shook his head and said, "This is the selfishness of humanity, ignoring other races and fighting amongst themselves for opportunities!"
"Who can argue with that? That's how humanity has been doing things all these years!"
The figures gradually disappeared into the distance, but they also delayed the pursuers for a few minutes, buying Jiang Yuan valuable time to launch a raid on the warlord in the southern city.
"Yanlan, please don't let anything happen to you!"
Jiang Yuan had used all his speed, and finally, in front of a large crowd, he saw the encampment of the Nancheng warlord.
There were no military camps in the southern part of the city, but after it was occupied by warlords, a large, luxurious area with the most convenient transportation was designated as a temporary encampment.
Moreover, there weren't many soldiers inside the city. Most of the soldiers were deployed around the southern city. After all, the southern city was one of the forty-nine major cities, and even if warlords wanted to establish themselves as kings, they wouldn't dare to do so too openly. Strong defenses were necessary no matter what.
"That's right!"
Jiang Yuan's pupils contracted sharply. He saw a woman wearing only a few rags, her hands bound, hanging from the top of a flagpole.
"Cold Moon!"
Although it was several hundred meters away, Jiang Yuan recognized it at a glance. The flag that was hanging high on the flagpole had been trampled on the ground and replaced by this disgusting method of "killing the chicken to scare the monkey".
This seemed to be announcing to everyone in the southern city that this was the consequence of offending the warlord—not only would one die, but one would also be humiliated as an example to others.
This scene ignited Jiang Yuan's fury. His previous impression of the Nancheng warlords was based solely on Ning Yanlan's accounts, but upon seeing them in person, he realized that these were not the People's Liberation Army soldiers before the catastrophe, but rather a group of beasts.
