Chapter 1121: The Major Forces’ Counterattack
“Let them come. It’s a good opportunity to get rid of them once and for all,” said Huangfu Qingjue calmly.
Everyone was shocked by Huangfu Qingjue’s carefree remark.
And he made it as he stood handsomely and nonchalantly with his silky silver hair lit in a mysteriously light by the bonfire. He looked like a live painting.
Although Huangfu Qingjue hadn’t made a single move in the past few days, that one magnificent sword play he had displayed had been deeply imprinted in everyone’s mind even until night. Just thinking about it made them intoxicated with excitement.
“Does that mean Huangfu Qingjue will finally take part in the battle too?!” The hearts of all the disciples couldn’t help but beat faster.
They no longer felt any pressure from the upcoming battle. Instead, they were filled with antic.i.p.ation.
Somewhere else in the depths of Huifeng Ridge, more than a dozen men and women gathered together late at night.
They were the leaders of the various forces in the Huifeng Ridge. Individually, they were not outstandingly strong. But together, they formed an extremely considerable force. Even the sects and clans of Qianzhong Ridge, which had been well-known for many years, didn’t dare to underestimate them.
However, they were currently in a sorry state. Almost everyone was injured: sme were badly bruised, some were severely injured, and some were even wrapped up like mummies as they lay motionless on the stretcher. If it weren’t for the occasional pained groan, one would not even know if they were still alive.
“Is everyone here?” asked an elder at the very top.
This elder had a square face who might have had quite a lot of dignity in the past. But now, his eyes were black and swollen like a panda’s. Not only did he seemed to not have any dignity left, he even looked a little ridiculous. However, the viciousness in his eyes was even more intense than before.
He was the leader of Green Leaf Gang: Liu Qingfeng. Green Leaf Gang used the Green Leaf Sword Play to establish itself in Huifeng Ridge. It was also one of the largest forces in Huifeng Ridge.
“Leader, everyone is here.” One of the subordinates answered.
“Then let’s begin,” said Liu Qingfeng to the crowd with a wave of his hand. “I’m sure everyone knows why we have gathered here today?”
The others looked at each other and remained silent, but they knew the reason well.
“Our forces have established themselves in Huifeng Ridge for many years. Even the major sects and clans elsewhere would avoid getting into conflicts with us. Never would I have expected that we would be bullied by a small and unknown force this time. If we let them leave Huifeng Ridge in one piece, I’m afraid we will lose our reputation. Who would respect us in the future? How will we expand into Qianzhong Ridge?” Liu Qingfeng slammed the table heavily as he spoke.
“Leader Liu is right. These people completely relied on their strength and didn’t even bother to show us any respect. They didn’t even… give us a chance to speak. All they knew was to directly charge at us and start a fight. They had even whipped out their weapons to stab us from the back. Their attacks are becoming increasingly ruthless, specifically targetting areas where we felt pain the most. They are truly too detestable. We must show them that we have a backbone,” said Wu Tianlang as he choked on tears. He had been quite depressed recently.
“That’s right. These people are really too ruthless. I, Ma Dazhuang, have been groping and fighting in Huifeng Ridge all my life, but this is the first time I have met such ruthless people. If we don’t deal with them this time, we might as well just leave Huifeng Ridge,” said another big man angrily while standing as everyone else remained seated.
