Wang Ming was furious and immediately grabbed a shovel to rush forward, but Lu Yuan pulled him back.
"Tan Qing, I knew you were interested in the stuff at our base all along, but I didn't expect you to use this as an excuse to provoke me. Looks like your brother's death wasn't in vain! Fine, you want a one-on-one fight? Okay, I'll take you on. If I don't beat your brains out today, you're lucky you're brain-dead!"
When Tan Qing heard that Lu Yuan wanted to fight him one-on-one, his heart trembled. His fingers couldn't help but reach into his pocket, where he found a pistol that he had brought with him. He knew that he was no match for Lu Yuan. He had realized this when his brother died. But if he wanted to fight Lu Yuan now, he could only resort to dirty tricks.
Lu Yuan took a step forward, looking at the other person with empty hands. Tan Qing's face showed a hint of nervousness.
Tan Qing gritted his teeth and suddenly swung his machete at Lu Yuan's shoulder. The move was powerful and unpredictable, just like the tricks of a thug.
Lu Yuan took a step back lightly, dodging the opponent's move, and immediately kicked the opponent to the ground.
"You think you're good enough to fight me with your pathetic skills?"
Tan Qing staggered to his feet, still unwilling to give up, and staggered towards Lu Yuan again. However, this time Lu Yuan raised his hand and moved with lightning speed, grabbing Tan Qing's wrist and twisting it sharply in the opposite direction.
With a crisp cracking sound, Tan Qing felt his arm being twisted like a pretzel and broken. He knew Lu Yuan was skilled, but he didn't expect Lu Yuan to be so powerful, breaking his arm in one move. He immediately let out a pig-like scream.
"Ah, my arm!" Tan Qing knelt on the ground, clutching his arm and shouting loudly. Several people nearby immediately surrounded him.
"Boss, how are you?"
Several people surrounded Tan Qing and quickly protected him to prevent Lu Yuan from beating him again.
Tan Qing knelt on the ground, clutching his arm in agony, but still desperately screaming, "Kill them all! Take their grain! Take their women! They're all yours!"
At this moment, Tan Qing's eyes revealed a sinister look. He no longer hid his purpose and immediately shouted loudly to the crowd.
The people beside him immediately realized that this was the signal Tan Qing had given. They stopped hiding and, with a shout from Tan Qing, everyone sprang into action. They had somehow acquired all sorts of weapons, such as sticks, knives, and axes, and each person had one. Then, a chaotic battle ensued.
Seeing the situation spiral out of control, Lu Yuan gritted his teeth in anger. He only had two thousand men, while the enemy had twenty thousand. Although the enemy base was mostly populated by the elderly, women, and children, there were also quite a few middle-aged men with combat capabilities. While it wasn't exactly a ten-on-one fight, three or four against one was more than enough.
Soon, the first person to bleed appeared. The person who was slashed was one of Lu Yuan's men. He was a miner who had just come out of the mine. He was covered in dirt and hadn't even changed his clothes. Hearing that there was a commotion here, he didn't bother to pack anything and just came over with his mining shovel. However, he didn't expect that the other side would use so many dirty tricks. Three or four people were fighting against him, and he was basically powerless to fight back. One of the other people with a kitchen knife saw his neck and blood immediately gushed out like water from a fire hydrant.
Someone shouted, "Avenge our brothers!"
Immediately, all the miners and Lu Yuan's workers took out whatever they had and rushed into the enemy's group, and the two sides immediately started fighting again.
Upon seeing this scene, Lu Yuan immediately realized that things had escalated to an irreversible point. Now, apart from fighting the other side, escaping was practically impossible. After all, to return to his base, he would have to cross the high mountain behind him, and with the sky so dark, crossing the mountain would be extremely difficult. If he really left, it would mean that he was giving up on this place.
Chen Bin, standing next to Lu Yuan, was also excited by the atmosphere. No longer worried about his own safety, he immediately pulled out an iron rod from the side and rushed into the crowd to join the fight.
Just as Lu Yuan was about to make a move, he saw several people rushing towards him. The men were burly and wielded iron bars, machetes, and other weapons.
A ruthless glint flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes. He knew he could no longer talk about loyalty with the other party. Although everyone was going through a tough time, and their relationship hadn't been great, they had developed some friendship after working together for so long. But because of Tan Lin's matter, that friendship instantly turned into hatred.
After cursing the man as an idiot in his heart, Lu Yuan immediately flashed forward, dodging the opponent's fatal blow. He then snatched the sword from the opponent's wrist and slashed it directly at the man's shoulder.
Blood splattered all over Lu Yuan, but he didn't bother to wipe it off. He rushed towards the second person who rushed out and kicked him directly in the throat. With a crisp crack, the man's neck snapped back at an odd angle, and he fell to the ground, lifeless.
The scene was chaotic. Because it was late and the light was not very bright, Lu Yuan could occasionally make out that the people around him were falling one by one, and he was immediately heartbroken.
