Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 959: Chapter 754: Assault on the City

Feeling the chill from Xu Hengjiang, Yuan Shan’s spine tingled with cold sweat, and he hurriedly attempted to retreat back into the surrounding Dark Domain.

But since Xu Hengjiang had already attacked, he wouldn’t let Yuan Shan leave easily. With a wave of his left hand, a swift wind transformed into a wall, blocking Yuan Shan’s retreat.

”No!”

Yuan Shan’s escape route was blocked, his expression changed instantly. Looking up at Xu Hengjiang again, he found Xu Hengjiang’s hand had already formed into a fist, with fierce winds surging from his right hand!

”Air Cannon!”

Xu Hengjiang punched through the air, causing it to collapse instantly!

The protective spiritual light on Yuan Shan’s body shattered in an instant, his chest caved in, and he flew backward, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

With just one strike, Yuan Shan was severely injured and unable to rise!

Struggling to get up, Yuan Shan roared furiously: ”Xu Hengjiang, after all these years with you, you’re still on guard against me?!”

”You wanted to kill me, and yet you blame me for being cautious of you?”

Xu Hengjiang was deeply disappointed, his expression growing even colder. As he raised his hand, a seal technique appeared, transforming into four wind chains that wrapped around Yuan Shan.

Yuan Shan was unable to move, even his Star Power was cut off by the Wind Element.

In an instant, the surrounding shadows quickly dissipated, the Dark Night Raid shattered on the spot, and the surroundings suddenly brightened.

Epic skill, Four Wind Restriction!

Xu Hengjiang took two deep breaths, his complexion turning a bit paler.

Although he had pretended to ingest the Soft Dragon Powder and secretly disposed of it, the weakness from the poison was real.

More importantly, with the use of Star Power, the toxin began to accelerate its corrosion...

”Hmm?”

As the Dark Night Raid shattered, Xu Hengjiang suddenly sensed something, quickly turning his head to the side.

”Mr. An?”

In the room, Antonios had entered without anyone noticing, emitting no aura at all, not even detectable by Xu Hengjiang.

Antonios gave a slight bow: ”It seems there’s no need for me to intervene, Alliance Leader Xu has already resolved it himself.”

Xu Hengjiang scrutinized Antonios and could discern his intentions, shaking his head subtly.

”I didn’t expect someone just visiting like Mr. An would see through our Storm Alliance’s matters so quickly.”

”As an observer, I’m not swayed by subjective impressions,” Antonios laughed, then regained a serious tone, reminding, ”But Alliance Leader Xu, it’s best not to use Star Power anymore.”

Xu Hengjiang nodded slightly, and at that moment, with the shattering of the Dark Night Raid, the guards outside, who had sensed the commotion, rushed in.

”Alliance Leader Xu! Branch Master Yuan...this?” The guards looked at Xu Hengjiang and then at Yuan Shan who was bound on the ground, all greatly shocked.

The Guard Captain immediately understood what had happened and shouted, ”Yuan Shan attacked the Alliance Leader, take him down!”

The guards immediately stepped forward to subdue Yuan Shan, who was locked by the Four Wind Restriction.

In the main base, many members, hearing the commotion, hurriedly came over from various places. Soon, there were hundreds of people inside and outside Xu Hengjiang’s room.

”What, Yuan Shan attacked the Alliance Leader?!”

”Weren’t they old friends? How could this happen?”

”It might be because of that Sun Spirit Pill from before...”

”...”

Everyone looked at the subdued Yuan Shan and whispered among themselves.

Yuan Shan’s face was ashen, his eyes still full of hatred.

However, this hatred wasn’t towards himself for his actions, but rather a hatred for Xu Hengjiang’s early vigilance against him, and hatred for his own failure!

Xu Hengjiang casually pulled up a chair and sat in front of Yuan Shan, asking in a deep voice, ”Let me ask you, when did you collude with the Fierce Battle Gang?”

At this point, Yuan Shan no longer cared and coldly stared at Xu Hengjiang: ”Why ask so much? Just kill me, Xu Hengjiang!”

”Intransigent!” Xu Hengjiang’s eyes flashed with anger, raising his right hand immediately, the fierce wind surged!

The members of the Storm Alliance were all extremely agitated.

”Alliance Leader, kill him!”

”Kill the traitor!”

”...”

The people of Jianghu factions, regardless of good or bad, are mostly people of strong emotions, naturally detesting traitors intensely.

Xu Hengjiang stared intently at Yuan Shan, looking at his sorry state, and suddenly remembered the battles under the sunset in the past, recalling how Yuan Shan had killed foes and blocked blades for him...

Back then, Yuan Shan was already an old man, and now he looked visibly much older...

Damn...!

Xu Hengjiang cursed silently, while his palm struck down.

With a ”boom” sound.

A mist of blood burst forth, the fierce Wind Element directly shredding Yuan Shan’s oft-used right arm into bloody shreds!

”Get out!”

Xu Hengjiang struck again with a palm, directly sending Yuan Shan flying out of the room, crashing heavily onto the ground.

”Get out of the Western Desert, and never come back!”

After decades of bonds, Xu Hengjiang ultimately softened, choosing to spare him this time.

Yuan Shan spat out blood foam, glanced at Xu Hengjiang, and struggled to his feet before transforming into a shadow and flying away silently.

Seeing this, Antonios couldn’t help but frown slightly, not expecting Xu Hengjiang to truly let the person go.

However, the rest of the gang members around, although slightly indignant, could still understand.

Because Yuan Shan was indeed among the first group of people to follow Xu Hengjiang.

But in Antonios’ view, being the BOSS, even if you value emotions and loyalty, if a subordinate betrays and wants to kill you, under no circumstances should you let them off!

Although Xu Hengjiang’s action could emphasize a gang leader’s sense of loyalty and righteousness, a BOSS of a large force must reward and punish clearly, and strike hard when necessary, otherwise, how can you command your people?

However, as an outsider, Antonios naturally wouldn’t say anything at this moment.

Xu Hengjiang contemplated briefly, then instructed a nearby Branch Leader, ”Send out the notice to control Yuan Shan’s men.”

”Yes!”

”Also, guard the entire alliance and keep a close watch on the Fierce Battle Gang to the north!”

”I will get on it immediately!”

Xu Hengjiang gave some additional instructions, then returned to his room looking somewhat pale.

Antonios stepped forward to examine him, used a small silver knife to slightly suppress the poison spreading from recently using Star Power, and then replenished some energy with Vitality Water.

”Thank you.” Xu Hengjiang’s complexion slightly improved, and he expressed his gratitude, ”Speaking of which, not only did Mr. An detect Yuan Shan’s abnormality, but his Concealing Breath Skill is also impressive.”

The Guard Captain beside him looked somewhat embarrassed but was full of admiration: ”Yes, even I didn’t know how Mr. An got in.”

Antonios stroked a black wooden piece at his waist and chuckled, ”I don’t have such skills, it’s thanks to the Concealing Breath tool given by my boss.”

In fact, after Su Yuan sensed something unusual within the Storm Alliance, he not only gave Antonios this wooden piece but also the Hundred Beasts Tripod.

But for now, it turned out that Xu Hengjiang was already aware and resolved it himself...

”Report!”

Just then, Hu Bo, responsible for communication, suddenly rushed in hastily.

Everyone present turned to look.

Seeing Hu Bo’s anxious expression, Xu Hengjiang immediately asked, ”Hu Bo, what has got you so tense?”

”The Fierce Battle Gang... the Fierce Battle Gang is attacking!”

”What! The Fierce Battle Gang is attacking?” Everyone was shocked!

The Fierce Battle Gang is the largest gang along the coast, however, they’re north of the Storm Alliance and not close by, so they shouldn’t be able to arrive so quickly...

Unless they have been nearby for a while!

Xu Hengjiang’s expression turned serious, and he immediately stood up: ”Where are they, how many, and what exactly is the situation!”

Hu Bo reported, ”They seem to have already been lying in ambush for a while and are now approaching outside the city, numbering nearly two hundred, all are Upper Three-level!

Not only that, but the two branches in Hengshui City and Qingqu City under Branch Master Yuan have also already defected earlier and are mingling with the Fierce Battle Gang.”

Upon hearing Hu Bo’s report, everyone present was greatly alarmed.

Nearly two hundred in number, suggesting there could be as many as thirty to forty Radiant Moon Level!

And on the Storm Alliance’s side, the Alliance Leader is poisoned, and most Radiant Moon experts are out at sea...

Xu Hengjiang took a deep breath, stood up directly, and shouted, ”All Branch Leaders, take your people and prepare to battle!”

”Yes!”

Including the Guard Captain, everyone swarmed out, heading outside at once.

Xu Hengjiang looked at Antonios: ”The matters of my Storm Alliance are unrelated to you, to avoid getting caught in crossfire, you should leave quickly! Hu Bo, escort Mr. An out.”

Hu Bo replied, ”Yes, Alliance Leader...”

”No need.” Antonios bowed, ”Thank you Alliance Leader for the gesture, I can leave by myself.”

”Very well then.”

The situation was urgent, so Xu Hengjiang didn’t say more, immediately followed and flew outside...

In a short while, the sounds of combat were already rising one after another.

The central area of the Western Desert might have some city defenses, but a coastal gang like the Storm Alliance had quite limited defensive structures.

However, one could see many figures in dark red clothing in the sky, evidently members of the Fierce Battle Gang had already stormed into the city!

”Boom boom boom...”

Spirit Light Burst roared incessantly, and chaos engulfed the city; many in Storm City began withdrawing when they sensed the fight.

Of course, there were also many Upper Three-level individuals within the city who voluntarily joined the Storm Alliance members to resist the formidable enemies!

Yet, with most Radiant Moon experts of the Storm Alliance still on the island, and some experts in branch offices in other cities,

At this moment, in Storm City, the loss of high-level Radiant Moon combat power resulted in the lack of many Radiant Moon experts, being continuously overwhelmed by the Fierce Battle Gang, with many severely wounded and killed...
