C11 Cut down Grass and Root
Most of the morale that Lee Zhiyong had just built up vanished in an instant. Mu Chengyin personally went to find Lee Zhiyong, while the Patriarch of Loong Family went to look for the Han Family Patriarch, Han Xiao. The rest of the people also went to look for their designated opponents. An unprecedented battle royale had begun outside of Dragon City's City Lord's Mansion, and for a moment, the entire area was filled with flashes of blades and flashes of light, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. Miserable cries could be heard unceasingly.
The Li and Han Clans and their subordinate clans were weak to begin with, and their morale was low as well. They appeared to have lost the first battle, and in less than thirty breaths, more than ten people died.
The addition of the Mu Family and Loong Family of the two Patriarchs accelerated the decline of the Li and Han Liang families. The two forefathers were both Grandmaster level experts, and none of them were a match for the old man. Anyone they attacked would be severely injured at least if they didn't die. Occasionally, there would be people who were in a stalemate, or people from the Mu and Long families who were at a disadvantage. The two Patriarchs would definitely help. The advantage in numbers between the Mu and Long families was becoming more apparent, and it was increasing rapidly.
After Lee Zhiyong's initial panic, he found that even though Mu Chengyin was ruthless, he did not intend to kill him as soon as possible. After some thought, he finally understood. He, Lee Zhiyong, was a fourth level third level Grandmaster, while Mu Chengyin was a fourth level Grandmaster. Even though Mu Chengyin had a deep foundation and was much stronger than him, it would not be easy for him to kill Lee Zhiyong. If he had to kill him in a short period of time, he would have to pay a certain price. After all, other than the four great clans, there were still other forces in Dragon City. If the Mu and Long families annihilated the Li and Han families, and his own strength suffered a huge blow, it would not be good to rise to the third force. When the two fought, other people's gains were absolutely not something the Mu and Long families wanted to happen. In other words, even if no other powers rose to power, the Mu and Long families who suffered too much damage wouldn't be able to gain control of the Dragon City.
The ancestors of the Mu and Long families didn't come to Mu Chengyin's aid as soon as they joined the fray. It was obvious that they wanted to kill the Li and Han families to reduce their losses. He naturally understood the principle of killing yourself and causing ten thousand deaths, and presumably, Mu Family and Loong Family understood as well. It was because of this that Mu Chengyin only restrained him, and not to kill him. Lee Zhiyong suddenly realized that his chance to live was right now. If he waited for the two forefathers to free themselves, he would have no chance to escape.
On the tower of the City Lord's Mansion, everyone quietly watched the battle taking place on the long street. Mu Tian was also watching along with the crowd. What happened today really shocked him. Ever since Lord Patriarch initiated the life and death battle, Mu Tian's entire body had become misty. He could not react in time, and could not figure out how and why this happened.
He looked at his friends beside him. Mu Feng and Zhang Ying's faces were filled with excitement, looking eager to fight. Whenever Li or Han Family members were chopped down, they would wave their fists and roar in excitement, as if they were being chopped down. With a bottle in one hand and a piece of roasted meat in the other, Loong Yu was drinking and eating while shouting, treating the battle as a form of entertainment. The pill water did not have much interest in killing. Although it was also staring at the street, it did not show any interest on its face.
City Lord Liu Chengri suddenly said, "This Lee Zhiyong is looking left and right, neither fighting nor thinking of saving his people. It seems that he has an idea!"
The butler boomed, "Young Lord is intelligent! "People are afraid of death, this Lee Zhiyong probably has some way to escape!"
Lord Mayor smiled and looked at his precious son with satisfaction.
Mu Tian hurriedly looked down and saw a familiar figure — — Mu Wen. The current Mu Wen was no longer as carefree as before. His long hair was scattered, and his entire body was covered in blood. He held a long sword in his hand as he fought with an opponent with a Blazing Blade.
Mu Wen was a wood attribute cultivation technique passed down in the Mu Family, and the other party's fire attribute cultivation technique just happened to suppress him. The Blazing Blade recklessly waved towards Mu Wen. Mu Wen carefully dodged, and every time they made contact with each other, it would leave a trail of blood on Mu Wen. After dozens of rounds, Mu Wen's body was covered in blood and his dodging movements had clearly slowed down. If this goes on, Mu Wen would soon die from blood loss even if he was not killed. His opponent laughed loudly and scolded him arrogantly. Mu Wen's expression was serious and his gaze was firm. Suddenly, Mu Wen brandished his sword and went straight for the other party's throat, not caring about the huge blade that was coming his way. The opponent holding the Blazing Blade was startled, then he returned the blade to parry, but it was slower, his arm had a cut. The opponent started cursing, the Blazing Blade had the advantage, and was obviously not willing to accept this kind of fighting style where both sides would suffer. Mu Wen was unrelenting as he charged forward like a madman. Every move he made was aimed at the opponent's vitals, but he did not care about the blade that was coming his way. For a moment, he actually had the upper hand.
Lee Zhiyong secretly observed the entire battlefield and slowly approached the Han clan leader, Han Xiao. Mu Chengyin only restrained Lee Zhiyong. After noticing his actions, he did not stop him. Very quickly, the battle between the two became a four man free-for-all.
Lee Zhiyong leaned on Han Xiao and whispered, "Does brother Han have a way to escape?"
Han Xiao said anxiously, "Brother Li, I'm afraid we will lose our lives here today!"
Lee Zhiyong said, "Brother Han, don't worry. I'll save you with my life!"
Han Xiao was pleasantly surprised, "Brother Li, are you serious?"
Lee Zhiyong said, "Brother Han, you have to promise me that after you escape, you will avenge us in the future!"
Han Xiao said, "Don't worry! Even if you don't say anything, I will definitely not let them off! "
Lee Zhiyong said, "Alright, I believe you! Mu Family and two old ghosts from Loong Family are busy killing our clansmen. I will find a chance to stop these two clan leaders later.
Han Xiao replied, "Okay!"
The few of them exchanged a few more rounds, and Lee Zhiyong saw the chance and forced Mu Chengyin to retreat, and then turned and stopped Loong Family Clan Patriarch Long Wei, and shouted: "Brother Han, quickly leave!"
Han Xiao was overjoyed. Without saying anything further, he rushed out.
Mu Chengyin was startled, and immediately chased after Han Xiao when he saw the Patriarch of Loong Family and Wu Tie fighting each other.
Just after chasing for a few breaths of time, he heard Loong Family Patriarch Long Wei shout: "Lee Zhiyong is escaping!"
Mu Chengyin followed the sound and saw Lee Zhiyong fleeing in the opposite direction.
If he went after Han Xiao, he would definitely be able to catch up. However, Long Wei was no match for Lee Zhiyong, and Lee Zhiyong would definitely be able to escape. If he went after Lee Zhiyong, the other party might be able to escape at this distance.
"Patriarch!" Mu Chengyin shouted, "Please go after Lee Zhiyong, don't let him get away!"
Mu Family Grandmaster was fighting with all he had, and upon hearing that, he looked in the direction Lee Zhiyong had escaped: "Don't worry, you won't be able to escape! Brother Long, I'll leave Han Xiao to you! "
Then, Mu Family Ancestor shot towards Lee Zhiyong like an arrow, while Loong Family Ancestor chased Han Xiao.
Lee Zhiyong was running away as fast as he could, secretly pleased with himself. Suddenly, a person in front of him blocked his way.
"Where is Lord Patriarch going!?" The person asked with a smile. Lee Zhiyong quickly stopped and looked over, only to see that it was the alliance master of the Mercenary Alliance.
"It's you?" Lee Zhiyong said angrily: "Why did you stop me? Could it be that you have pledged your allegiance to Mu Family?"
"Surrender?" The chief of the Mercenary Alliance laughed: "Don't make it sound so bad. I am in a cooperative relationship with them, an ally. Moreover, I even became the Patriarch of the Mu Family and became a different surname brother."
"So that's how it is!" Lee Zhiyong sighed, "It seems that my Lee Family has been lost unjustly!"
In the time it took to say a few words, the patriarch of Mu Family had caught up.
"Lee Zhiyong, your death is imminent!" The Mu Family Ancestor's sword went straight for Lee Zhiyong's chest. Lee Zhiyong swung the sword outwards, but never expected that the Mu Family Ancestor's palm would already reach Lee Zhiyong's chest. Lee Zhiyong was unable to dodge in time and had to counter it with his palm.
"Bam!"
Lee Zhiyong spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards. He rolled a few times on the ground before stopping.
"You, you, you broke through!" Lee Zhiyong spat blood.
"Of course, or else your family's old man that doesn't die will be easily eliminated! Now that you have died, you will rest in peace! "
"Destroy my Lee Family!"
"Die!" Seeing the sword coming at him, Lee Zhiyong lost all hope. A bloody head flew up.
"Brother Wen!" Mu Wu, who was watching the fight from the balcony, suddenly shouted.
Mu Tian hurriedly looked at Mu Wen, only to see that the Blazing Blade had pierced into Mu Wen's lower abdomen, and was tightly grabbed by his left hand. The long sword in Mu Wen's right hand quickly slashed, and the hand holding the Blazing Blade was cut off, causing the opponent to retreat while screaming in pain.
Mu Wen wanted to chase up and kill his opponent, but just as he took a step forward, his body became weak and swayed a few times. Two long swords attacked from two sides, stabbing straight into the Blazing Blade's master's body.
"Brother Wen, are you alright?" It turned out that the Mu Family clansmen had found out about Mu Wen's condition and rushed over to help.
Mu Wen held onto his sword as he gasped, "I have some pills with me, help me consume them!"
The two of them immediately walked in front of Mu Wen. One of them went up to support Mu Wen, while the other took out a porcelain bottle from Mu Wen's body, took out two pills, and stuffed them into Mu Wen's mouth. Then, they slowly pulled out the Blazing Blade. Just as the Blazing Blade left the body, blood started to gush out, one of them took out a Gold Sore Medicine and applied it to the wound, then he tore off the clothes and tightly wrapped the wound.
The pill slowly dissolved in Mu Wen's body. Under the nourishment of the pill, Mu Wen's spirit clearly improved a lot.
Mu Tian looked at everything that had happened to Mu Wen and was relieved when he saw that Mu Wen's life was no longer in danger.
Seemingly feeling Mu Tian's attention, Mu Wen suddenly turned his head. Their gazes met in the air, and Mu Wen waved the Blazing Blade in his hand towards Mu Tian, revealing a smile.
In Mu Tian's eyes, there was a ferocious smile with a face full of blood.
Suddenly, Mu Tian thought of what Mu Wen had said before, "What you didn't see might not be done. What you saw might not actually be done!"
Young City Lord Liu Chengri suddenly said, "I didn't expect that this Mu Wen was actually such a ruthless person!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Mu Family Ancestor who had killed Lee Zhiyong, brought Lee Zhiyong's head with him and charged into the battle once more, "Lee Zhiyong's head is here, why aren't you waiting for death!"
"What!?" The Patriarch is dead! "
"This is impossible!"
"It's really the Lord Patriarch!"
"Destroy my Lee Family!"
Another loud cry sounded amidst the chaos, "Han Xiao's head is here!" It was Mu Chengyin and the Loong Family Ancestor.
The Li and Han clansmen were all terrified. As for the subordinate clans, some of them even abandoned their blades and surrendered.
A massacre! It was almost a massacre!
In the time it took to have a cup of tea, Li, Han, and their subordinate clans had all been slaughtered.
Looking at the bloody street, Mu Chengyin and the rest all revealed smiles. From now on, Dragon City was filled with Mu Family.
Although they had killed almost all of the enemies, they had suffered many casualties on their side. Mu Chengyin instructed, "Elders, quickly lead people to various places to support them. Remember, you must eliminate the roots and forever eliminate any future troubles! "
"Don't worry, Patriarch!" All the elders ran away with their clansmen.
Turning his head back to look at City Lord's Mansion's balcony, Mu Chengyin continued: "Butler, send people to help the wounded, clean up the corpses, and clean up the long street. You must clean everything clean and not pollute the road of City Lord's Mansion!"
"Clan head, rest assured, I will definitely make the arrangements!"
"Two Patriarchs!" Mu Chengyin bowed and said, "Please take a look around to take care of the younger generation, in case there are too many casualties!"
"Good!" My old man hasn't had enough! Brother Long, let's split up! "
Looking at the two elders who were walking further and further away, Mu Chengyin thought for a moment, then said to the Loong Family Patriarch: "Since the exterminating the weeds has already begun, we must eliminate the roots, otherwise there will be endless troubles in the future!"
"Don't worry!" The two of them quickly left.
In the Dragon City, there was a bloodbath. It was not only the Lee Family, the Han Family, but also the six medium-sized families, thirteen small families, and the families who were related to them by marriage, that received a complete purge. That night, more than five thousand people died in the Dragon City.
