Chapter 1172: The Fierce Shadow Team
“That is indeed the case.”
The intelligence officer pursed his lips and truthfully said, “They encountered resistance from the experts of the Cloud Breaking Sect near Dragon City. Before they could even engage in close combat with the sect’s experts, they were shot like hedgehogs under the relentless assault of the Cloud Breaking Arrow, leading to total annihilation. The situation was truly tragic, with rivers of blood flowing.”
“Sigh.”
Nalan Wuchang sighed, observing the atmosphere of slaughter here, which was also not optimistic.
However, at least the terrain here is relatively flat, allowing both sides to battle fairly. Comparatively, he was luckier than Nalan Wuwei.
If the two were to switch places and he faced the Cloud Breaking Arrow from the Cloud Breaking Sect, it’s uncertain whether he could escape at all.
“Ning Fan is something, huh? To even make use of this sect, which has always wavered in the Jianghu, is truly impressive.”
The intelligence officer reminded, “Fifth Master, I have surveyed the entire battlefield. Only your area still has a relative advantage. Troops in other places have suffered serious losses, some are even cutting down trees…”
“What the heck?”
Nalan Wuchang widened his eyes, looking incredulous.
With his withdrawal, the pressure on the Ning family members decreased significantly, once again gaining absolute advantage, fiercely attacking the Nalan family.
Nalan Wuchang squinted slightly, thinking of Nalan Jiuhuang’s previous arrangements.
Nalan Jiuhuang never intended to go to war with the Ning family. Honestly, a battle between two families of this level is akin to injuring the enemy by a thousand but losing eight hundred themselves, not worth it.
However, at this moment, the arrow is ready, and it cannot be resisted. Both sides can’t put aside their pride, so the outcome must be decided on the battlefield.
At this moment, it is unclear how the higher-ups are negotiating.
Rather than saying Nalan Jiuhuang is holding back Ning Fan, it’s more that Ning Fan is holding back Nalan Jiuhuang.
Relatively speaking, the role of a peak True Origin Realm expert on the battlefield still has a significant gap compared to an Intermediate Stage Aerial Mastery expert.
If Nalan Jiuhuang were here, he might have already broken through this line of defense and entered the vicinity of the Ning family villa.
Thinking of this, Nalan Wuchang instructed the intelligence officer, “Go deliver orders to all teams immediately. Any team without hope of achieving significant results should regroup towards me. Concentrate the superior forces to break through this defense line. Gaining advantage in one point can ignite a prairie fire.”
“Yes.”
The intelligence officer quickly retreated, disappearing from sight shortly after.
Nalan Wuchang shouted, “Brothers, lads, our reinforcements are on their way, all our forces will gather here. Let’s carve out a bloody path to expand the advantage for the following brothers.”
“Kill, kill, kill…”
Upon hearing that reinforcements were coming from the rear, the fatigued Nalan family members were rejuvenated, feeling strength in their limbs and swinging their weapons more vigorously.
They once again gained a psychological advantage, driving back the Ning family troops.
The newly arrived Shadow Team members saw this scene and immediately assumed their responsibility, charging into the fray.
“Brothers, don’t retreat. They have reinforcements, so do you.”
“Heh heh, our reinforcements have also arrived, and they are early.”
The originally timid Ning family members, seeing the arrival of the Shadow Team, once again ignited a high fighting spirit.
However, upon seeing the number of Shadow Team members, they all shook their heads and smiled wryly.
“Damn, just this small team will be of any use?”
“Yeah, from what that Nalan Wuchang said, they might increase by hundreds while our reinforcements only have a small team of tens. What’s the big deal?”
Their discussion reached the ears of the Shadow Team members.
One Shadow Team member stepped forward and slashed down a battle-crazed Nalan family expert with one stroke, sneering, “You guys know nothing. When we started learning martial arts, you were still wearing crotchless pants.
As long as we’re here, we won’t let anyone cut off your heads.”
“Really?”
The Ning family members were skeptical, not quite believing.
This immediately caused a burst of laughter among the Shadow Team members, who raised their weapons and charged toward the Nalan family members ruthlessly.
“Brothers, show them our strength, so they’ll shut up obediently.”
“That’s right, talking is less convincing than killing. Whoever can effectively kill the enemy is right.”
In full view, the Shadow Team joined this battle, and it was obvious that the previously battle-crazed Nalan experts now faced the Shadow Team members—even in scenarios of multiple opponents against one—they were still ruthlessly slain by Shadow Team members.
In terms of individual combat prowess, the Shadow Team was in a position to crush.
“Fifth Master, look!”
A Nalan family observer noticed this strange scene and immediately ran to report to Nalan Wuchang, who was still bravely fighting.
“Oh?”
Following his guidance, Nalan Wuchang looked over and saw the Shadow Team, consisting of dozens, joining the fray. They were unstoppable, cutting down any adversary that stood before them like a group of demons unleashed.
“Where did these people come from? I’ve never seen them before.”
“I’m not sure, maybe it’s another force that the Ning family enlisted for support, like the previous Cloud Breaking Sect.” A Nalan family expert cautiously analyzed.
“That seems likely.” Nalan Invincible knew that reinforcements would arrive soon, so he didn’t spare any forces, resolutely saying, “Don’t hold back any reserve forces. Push everything out and wipe out the Shadow Team ahead of the final assault to prevent any last-minute disasters.”
With Nalan Wuchang’s aggressive charge, the Nalan family members were reinvigorated, following behind shouting and attacking.
They appeared fierce yet were actually weak inside.
Why do I say that? Because Nalan Wuchang had already engaged in combat with a Shadow Team member, and after several fierce exchanges, neither could gain the upper hand.
Bam…
Nalan Wuchang retreated once again, his face was shocked, “Where did these people come from? Just a regular member can fight me to a draw. How is this possible?”
“Old man, who we are doesn’t matter. The key is, today you will surely die here, body and soul extinguished.” The Shadow Team member said calmly, raising his war saber and slashing again at Nalan Wuchang.
Nalan Wuchang felt disheartening, but he still had to brace himself to fight.
Such a scene left the Nalan family members bewildered.
The Nalan family’s Fifth Master—Nalan Wuchang, from the same generation as the Nalan Family Head, belonged to the “Wu” generation.
The captain of this hundred-man team, nine out of ten are elder members of the “Wu” generation, with only a few younger members, highlighting their formidable strength.
