Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 881: Chapter 880 Guarding the Gate

Jeang Zier stood next to Zhao Ping’an, her face filled with confusion as she looked at him. She really couldn’t understand how Su Yang had gone out for a few days and returned with a disciple.

Zhao Ping’an gave Jeang Zier a grin and, bowing slightly, said, ”Miss Jeang, if there’s anything you need help with, just give me your orders!”

Jeang Zier hesitated for a moment, then said softly, ”Actually, Master Su didn’t need to go personally. He needs to be here, presiding over the Divine Physicians Alliance!”

”If my master hadn’t gone personally, it would be hard to say what the outcome might be,” said Zhao Ping’an. ”If you send someone now, no matter how fast they are, how quickly can they get there? And whose speed can compare to that of my master?”

”That is true!” Jeang Zier slowly nodded, thinking that the only option to save the people of the Back to Heaven Sect would be for Su Yang to go personally.

However, this caused some panic among the people within the Divine Physicians Alliance.

There were already people planning to attack the Divine Physicians Alliance, and they were waiting for Su Yang to return and take control. Now that Su Yang had left to save others first, how were they to cope with such a situation?

Su Yang had left Zhao Ping’an behind, but the people did not recognize Zhao Ping’an and did not know what kind of strength this young man possessed or whether he could protect the Divine Physicians Alliance.

Suddenly, someone rushed in from outside, urgently saying, ”Alliance Leader Su, there are hundreds of people storming the mountain gate. Our people at the gate can’t stop them; they’re about to enter the sect!”

Everyone stood up, their faces changing color. It seemed like speaking of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arriving—as Su Yang had just left and people had just started worrying, were these attackers already on their move?

Jeang Zier’s face changed as well; she had originally thought that Su Yang would be able to return in time, but this situation was completely beyond her expectations.

However, having worked with Su Yang for quite some time, she understood his way of handling things. She was panicky for a moment but quickly calmed down and said sternly, ”Abandon the mountain gate, everyone fall back and defend the sect!”

”Yes!” The person hurriedly withdrew.

Jeang Zier looked at the people present and said loudly, ”Alliance Leader Su has already said that today, our Divine Physicians Alliance will not retreat an inch. Thus, I hope everyone can move forward and retreat together with the alliance, unite to defend the alliance, and wait for the Alliance Leader to return and handle this matter personally!”

People from the Hua Tuo Sect, among others, immediately echoed loudly, ”Defend the alliance, retreat no further!”

Many people shouted along instantly. Of course, these sects were the ones that had suffered major losses and were very angry.

Some sects were unresponsive, as the losses they suffered were not significant. One sect leader asked softly, ”Miss Jeang, how long might it take for Alliance Leader Su to return? There are several hundred people coming, and if we confront them directly, we might win, but at a heavy loss. Moreover, people from various families and forces of the Southern Six Provinces are already on their way; I estimate they will arrive at Accumulated Cloud Mountain by tomorrow noon. If we suffer heavy losses, even if the Alliance Leader returns, it might be difficult to deal with those people!”

Others nodded in agreement. Although they had earlier resolved to unite and defend the Divine Physicians Alliance, they felt very insecure without Su Yang here to lead and protect them.

”My master has gone to save people, so he naturally won’t be long in returning!” said Zhao Ping’an, standing up and speaking loudly. ”Moreover, there’s no need for worry. I am here; if these people want to enter the gate of the Divine Physicians Alliance, they must first get past me. Unless I die, they cannot possibly step into the Divine Physicians Alliance!”

Only then did people seriously begin to regard Zhao Ping’an—many were unaware of his identity. Hearing now that he was Su Yang’s disciple, they were somewhat relieved. Though Su Yang had left, his disciple was still here, which gave them a bit more stability.

However, the panic in their hearts still persisted. After all, Zhao Ping’an was not Su Yang. Even if Su Yang were here, he could not have stopped the united forces of the major families of the Southern Six Provinces, so what could Zhao Ping’an do?

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhao Ping’an left the hall and went to the original gate of the Medical Saint Sect, which had now become the front gate of the Divine Physicians Alliance.

Down the mountain, it was visible to the naked eye that a group of people was rapidly approaching. The leading group of about thirty to forty people clearly possessed considerable strength. Following them was another large group, roughly a few hundred strong, who made up the main force.

This initial group of thirty to forty people took less than five minutes to reach the gate.

Seeing Zhao Ping’an at the gate, these people didn’t hesitate and directly tried to force their way in.

”Stop!” Zhao Ping’an shouted, rushing forward to block these people.

”Get out of the way!” the leader cursed, punching towards Zhao Ping’an.

Zhao Ping’an, not the type to be courteous, punched back. The two fists collided, and the man was sent flying backward, landing on the ground, spitting blood, and severely injured!

This sudden development shocked everybody on the scene, especially those who had rushed up, who were stunned in that instant.

The leader, a strong practitioner at the Integration Realm, had, just like that, been sent flying by a punch?

Moreover, the man looked so young; how was this possible?

These people immediately stopped, watching Zhao Ping’an warily, one of them said in a deep voice, ”Are you the Alliance Leader of the Divine Physicians Alliance, Master Su of Pingnan?”

”I am Zhao Ping’an!” Zhao Ping’an said coldly. ”Master Su is my master!”

Everyone was stunned again; they originally thought this person was Su Yang since it was widely rumored that Master Su was young yet extremely powerful, which was astounding. Many didn’t believe that a young man could possess such formidable strength.

Initially, when the first man was sent flying, everyone’s first thought was that it had been Su Yang. Who would have thought they were wrong, and it wasn’t even Su Yang, but just his disciple?

If even Su Yang’s disciple was so powerful, then what would the strength of Su Yang himself be?

The onlookers exchanged glances, quickly spreading out and subtly forming a fan shape, surrounding Zhao Ping’an.

Zhao Ping’an saw this but didn’t care. Among these people, the strongest had just been knocked away by him. He really wasn’t concerned about the rest—no matter how they surrounded him, what could they possibly do?
