Just when everyone's attention was focused on Fukuda Misa.
A group of men wearing masks quietly arrived at the First Affiliated Hospital.
After arriving at the First Affiliated Hospital, they went straight to the ward area where the Shen family was located.
"Brother Gousheng, those are people from the Marquis's mansion. Do you think we can beat them?"
One of the henchmen spoke to the leader, his expression full of worry.
The leader glared at him. "What are you afraid of! Don't we have the talismans given to us by the old immortal? Everyone here today is one of our own. When have I ever harmed you? Let me tell you, as long as we capture that Shen family girl for the old immortal, we'll be set! No matter how powerful that Marquis's mansion is, with the old immortal protecting us, what are we afraid of?"
His encouragement inspired everyone.
Led by Gou Sheng, a large group of people marched toward the ward.
Who is it?
"This is the Shen family's special care ward. Unauthorized personnel are not permitted to enter!"
Upon seeing these people, the Shen family's bodyguards immediately became wary and began shouting at them.
"What the hell are you all yelling about? Get out of my way! I'm about to summon Guan Yu!"
Gou Sheng immediately pretended to be drunk, staggering and cursing loudly.
The others stood by, pretending to try to persuade him.
"Brothers, please don't be angry! My brother is drunk and acting crazy!" one of them said, trying to calm him down.
Upon hearing this, the Shen family bodyguard snorted coldly, "Don't you know where you are when you're drunk? Get out of here!"
"I'll go to hell!"
Bang!
Just as the bodyguards lowered their guard, Gou Sheng suddenly pulled a wooden stick from his pocket and slammed it down on one of the bodyguards' heads.
"Brothers, let's attack together and kill them!"
At Gou Sheng's command, everyone rushed forward.
In fact, Gou Sheng and his gang were originally from an opera troupe, and they all had some martial arts skills. Under the surprise attack, the bodyguards were immediately routed.
Gou Sheng led his men to break through the encirclement and headed straight for the Shen family's hospital room.
Just as they entered the corridor, a group of disciples dressed in martial arts uniforms suddenly appeared and blocked the corridor.
The leader, with a cold expression, sneered, "Good heavens, you lot are still up to no good, trying to take advantage of the Shen family again! Didn't you learn your lesson last time?"
When Li Chao realized that these people were the same group of assassins as last time, his face immediately darkened. He waved his hand and said, "Brothers, attack! The master instructed that if anyone comes to cause trouble again, we must capture them alive. If we capture these bastards this time, we will have made a great contribution, and the master might even reward us with pills!"
Upon hearing this, the fellow disciples' faces immediately lit up with excitement.
After the eldest brother was given the elixir, he directly entered the Great Perfection stage. How could they not be envious?
At Li Chao's command, the crowd roared and charged toward Gou Sheng and his men.
Gou Sheng's face darkened, and he sneered, "You want to arrest us? Let's see if you have the ability!"
Bang!
Gou Sheng charged forward first, kicking two disciples flying.
The disciples behind were also knocked off their feet.
"Peak of Inner Strength?" Li Chao's expression changed slightly, and he said coldly, "Since you are a master, you must not be an unknown person. Why don't you state your name!"
Gou Sheng sneered and said arrogantly, "Ten years ago, I had a name in the martial arts world of Northeast China. People called me 'Mountain Eagle'!"
"What? You're Zuo Shandiao?" Li Chao exclaimed in shock.
Zuo Shandiao was already a master of internal strength ten years ago, a renowned figure of his generation.
I never expected to run into you here today.
However, his complexion quickly returned to normal.
Ten years ago, he was just a novice in the martial arts world, and naturally he felt immense awe towards such a senior figure in the martial arts world.
But now that he is a master of internal energy at its peak, he naturally no longer fears him as before.
"So you're the bandit leader Zuo Shandiao! I heard you have a wife who performs shamanistic rituals, spending all year with her troupe swindling people. I never thought you'd actually come all the way to Xidu!" Li Chao couldn't help but tease.
Zuo Shandiao sneered, "What's it to you! When your grandpa was in the underworld, you were still wearing open-crotch pants! Today I'm only here for Miss Shen, so if you don't want to die, get out of my way!"
Li Chao sneered, "You? If you want to mess with Miss Chen, you'll have to get past me first!"
Without wasting words, Li Chao decided to strike first. He moved in the next second, instantly appearing in front of Zuo Shandiao and delivering a powerful kick that slashed down at Li Chao's head with a chilling sound.
Zuo Shandiao's expression changed slightly, and he quickly crossed his arms to defend himself.
Bang!
Zuo Shandiao felt a surge of force, and instantly knelt on one knee. His knee landed on the marble floor with a thud, and the area within a foot around it shattered and caved in instantly.
hiss!
Zuo Shandiao gasped, staring at Li Chao in shock. "You, you're actually at the Great Perfection of Internal Energy? How is that possible?"
“That’s impossible!” Li Chao sneered. “If it weren’t for Master’s pills, I might still be stuck at the peak of internal strength for another twenty or thirty years, just like you. But now, hehe!”
Creak!
Under immense pressure, Zuo Shandiao's back gradually bent.
He knew that if things continued like this, he would have no chance of fighting back.
So he steeled himself, gritted his teeth, and roared, "Everyone, apply the talismans!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out a yellow paper talisman from his pocket and slammed it onto his forehead.
Then, an invisible wave of energy surged rapidly from his body.
It was as if gas had been injected under his skin, causing his whole body to bulge out, which looked quite comical.
However, as he 'swelled up,' his strength also increased rapidly, and he gradually lifted Li Chao's legs.
Li Chao's expression changed in surprise, and he quickly increased his strength.
Unexpectedly, Zuo Shandiao roared and used his strength to send him flying.
At the same time, the others behind Zuo Shandiao also put on talismans, and they all swelled up as if they had been inflated, looking exceptionally powerful and tall, like strongmen.
Seeing this bizarre scene, Li Chao dared not be careless any longer and gritted his teeth, saying, "Brothers, let's attack together! Don't let anyone escape!"
Zuo Shandiao snorted coldly, "Go get them!"
Bang bang bang!
The two sides clashed instantly.
Actually, the two sides were evenly matched, but unexpectedly, after these people put on the talismans, they all became incredibly strong and their resistance to blows increased. They were like invulnerable to swords and spears, and no matter how they were hit, it didn't hurt.
The disciples were immediately put at a disadvantage.
Even Li Chao was completely entangled with Zuo Shandiao, and the more they fought, the more frightened he became.
Zuo Shandiao was also not at ease. The Great Perfection of Inner Strength was indeed powerful. Even with the talisman bestowed by the old immortal, he could not suppress his opponent. Moreover, the talisman only had an effect for half an hour, so he dared not be careless.
"I'll hold this kid back, you guys go and tie up that Miss Shen!" he shouted to the others.
