Chapter 25: The Bloodbath on Rouge Street (Part One)

  A dull thud, Zhang Shan's two hands crossed in a "ten" shape to meet the palm, and then his whole body was shocked into flying backward.

  Sun Shoucai felt that his palm strike hadn't landed on target and realized that Zhang Shan was using his palm strike as an excuse to escape.

  He snorted and shouted: "Form an array to block him, beware of his dying counterattack."

  Those warriors were the elite of the Shentu family. Although they were only Qi Wu realm warriors, they were well-trained and often practiced their combined attack techniques in peacetime.

  At this time, after hearing Sun Shoucai's order, they quickly gathered together and formed small teams of three people.

  Zhang Shan took advantage of Sun Shoucai's momentum and flew back, instantly charging in front of a team of warriors.

  He took a deep breath and let out a loud cry, his hands shooting out with his most powerful killing move.

  A fierce fist struck the long sword of the warrior in front without any fancy moves, making a loud "clang" sound. The man let out a dull hum and was knocked flying backward.

  The two martial artists beside him simultaneously let out a loud roar, their long swords darting towards Zhang Shan like venomous snakes.

  Zhang Shan quickly withdrew his fist and counterattacked, his fists striking the sword body simultaneously to the left and right. The two martial artists' bodies shook, each retreating a step.

  Zhang Shan's forward momentum was blocked, and he slowed down. Just as he stepped on the ground to continue breaking through, another team of three quickly filled in the gap and appeared in front of him.

  Three weapons whizzed towards him, three warriors coordinating skillfully, one main and two assistants, although only at the seventh level of Qi Wu, but forcing Zhang Shan to not be able to move forward.

  Others also surrounded him at this time, forming two layers. The inner layer cooperated with each other to attack Zhang Shan, while the outer layer guarded and filled in any gaps, immediately filling in any openings that appeared.

  Sun Shoucai smiled contentedly and dispelled the idea of personally taking action, as the prey was already unable to fly away.

  "No choice, let's ask for help first."

  Zhang Shan dodged two incoming long swords and secretly stretched out his hand to press against his chest, crushing a pearl he had been holding in his bosom.

  This communication bead was given to him by Situ Mingkong. As long as he doesn't leave the range of Qingyang City, if he crushes the bead, Situ Mingkong will know that something has happened to him and will naturally come to find him according to his location.

  In Zhang's house, Situ Mingkong was meditating in his room, carrying out his daily routine cultivation.

  His expression suddenly changed and he woke up from his meditation.

  "What's going on? The communication bead I gave to Zhang Shan is broken..."

  He stood up with a satisfied expression and walked out of the room after opening the door.

  Soon after, he found the housekeeper Zhang Cheng and heard that Zhang Shan had gone out on business. Steward Ming Kong's heart sank, knowing that something was wrong.

  He flashed and directly swept onto the rooftop, rushing towards the direction indicated by the transmission bead.

  He had just passed two intersections when his pupils suddenly contracted and he stopped in his tracks.

  Not far ahead, an old man in gray stood on the roof of a house, staring at him with a blank expression.

  "Shen Tu Yong Ping?" Minister Ming Kong asked cautiously, looking at his opponent.

  "Brother Mingkong, this road is impassable." said the old man known as Shen Tu Yongping with a smile.

  Zhang Shan indeed got into trouble, and the Shentu family still took action. This thought flashed through Situ Mingkong's mind.

  He scowled and snorted: "I never thought that the Shen Tu family would dare to openly deal with the chief disciple of the Wen Tian Academy."

  Shen Tu Yongping smiled and said, "You can't just talk nonsense, did you personally see us deal with that so-called number one disciple? This kind of thing requires evidence and witnesses."

  Situ Ming didn't care about Zhang Shan's safety and naturally didn't want to waste words with him: "Since that's the case, I have something else to attend to, farewell."

  As he spoke, he jumped over to the roof of the next house.

  Shentu Yongping's figure flashed, and he swept past horizontally, still blocking his way: "It's been many years since we last crossed swords. Why don't we exchange a few moves?"

  "You have endured in silence for all these years, are you going to go to war with the Situ family today?" Situ Mingkong shouted sternly.

  "As long as Ming Kong younger brother is willing to stay here for half an hour, I, Shen Tu Yongping, will personally come to visit and apologize another day. Otherwise, it's inevitable that offense will be taken."

  Cai Ming took a deep breath and calmed himself down. With this old thing here, it seemed he wouldn't be able to rush over to save Zhang Shan after all.

  He quickly took out a message token, wrote down the events with his divine sense on it, and after infusing it with true yuan, the token burst into the air and disappeared in an instant.

  "After Qing Wan receives the news, he should send someone to rush over, but it's unknown whether they'll make it in time. Hopefully Zhang Shan will be lucky and have a narrow escape." After doing all this, Si Tu Ming let out a sigh and said.

  Shen Tu Yongping watched his movements, without any intention of stopping him, and instead, a mocking expression appeared in his eyes.

  "I'm curious, you dare to move against the people we protect this time, aren't you afraid of my family's revenge afterwards?" Shi Tu Ming asked coldly.

  "I'll tell you, the old master of my family has already left the pass and will no longer be bullied by you. Humph, thinking of using a Zhang surname child to block my family's Sheng Dong's path is simply wishful thinking."

  Xun Yu burst out laughing: "Let me tell you another piece of news, the old master has personally led people to your house. Even if you send a message back, you won't be able to mobilize any soldiers."

  Situ Mingkong's face completely darkened.

  Since the old immortal of the Shen Tu family has already come out, it means that he has been promoted. In this case, the high-end combat power of the two families is on the same level, no wonder they are no longer hiding and instead chose to confront each other head-on this time.

  He took out another transmission symbol and quickly wrote down the relevant information.

  Watching the transmission token fly away again, Situ Mingkong knew that with Shen Tu's old man coming out of his shell, what followed might be a bloody storm.

  Situ Mansion

  After receiving the transmission symbol from her fourth uncle, Si Tu Qing Wan quickly arranged for people to rescue Zhang Shan, and then she rushed to her father's yard.

  Then he saw his father, Situ Ming'an, standing on the rooftop at this moment, gazing in one direction.

  "Father, what are you doing up there? Fourth Uncle just sent a message over, saying that Zhang Shan has fallen into the trap set by the Shen Tu family and is in a precarious situation. He himself was blocked by Shen Tu Yongping, I've already dispatched someone to hurry over." said Situ Qingyan loudly.

  A figure flashed, and Situ Ming'an had already come down from the roof and appeared beside her: "Fourth brother also sent me a message just now, saying that the old ghost of the Shentu family has already left the pass and is leading people to our house."

  Situ Qingwan was shocked: "Out of the pass? So he's already been promoted? This time they came, isn't it to declare war on our family? We must tell Grandfather immediately."

  "Your grandfather already knows, I was just gazing out from above, the people of the Shentu family should be about one mile away from our house, it's just unknown whether they came to show off or have other purposes." Situ Ming'an said with a pause.

  Just as he was speaking, a transmission talisman suddenly appeared in the air and floated in front of Situ Qingyan.

  Situ Qing brought it over and unfolded it, frowning: "Dad, the people I sent to rescue Zhang Shan were intercepted by the Shen Tu family not far from our gate."
