Chapter 120: Chapter 103: Defeating the Army and Killing the General

Yu Residence.
Tiger Saber Gang Leader Yu Hu was practicing martial arts in his own yard.
Every day, rain or shine, he’d train once in the morning and once in the evening, a routine he maintained for over a decade.
Money could be spent, weapons and equipment could break, and even the most loyal subordinates might betray you… so Yu Hu was very clear that the only thing he could truly rely on in this world was his own strength.
In the courtyard, Yu Hu’s movements were not intense , they even appeared somewhat leisurely, but a great amount of white steam was continuously emerging from his body, raising the temperature in the entire yard.
After continuing for a while, Yu Hu stopped, walked over to a stone table nearby, and took several Elixirs that had been prepared in advance.
“Boss!”
Just then, a subordinate arrived in the courtyard.
“What’s the situation?”
Yu Hu asked without turning his head.
“Qingyuan District, Kaiping District, and Jin’an District have all had some action; Master has dispatched all the forces from the perimeter, now there’s only a convoy of Guards left with us.”
The subordinate reported.

Yu Hu furrowed his brows:
“Are there really people breaking through in all three districts?”
“Qingyuan District has already confirmed that no one has broken through; the people from Qingyuan Fist Village are still in a standoff with the Inspectorate. It’s just that someone deliberately fired shots everywhere to create confusion.”
“Understood. Report immediately if there’s any news.”
“Yes, sir!”
After the subordinate left, Yu Hu did not continue practicing. Instead, he sat down by the stone table.
He felt uneasy.
In today’s setup, Zhang Mingze deployed almost all of the Tiger Saber Gang’s forces.
The Gang’s elite fighters, hundreds of gang members armed with firearms, Powerful Crossbows and even heavy armor, Inspectorate agents, people from Zhi Ge Court… plus collaborating with the Chief’s faction, theoretically, they were unmatched within Xing City, and Zhang Mingze should not encounter any danger.
However, hearing the subordinate’s report, Yu Hu couldn’t help worrying.
He understood Zhang Mingze’s movements; the enemy’s strategies were direct, and Zhang Mingze had to be prepared.
At the same time, he could see Zhang Mingze’s confidence: he would rather let someone exploit a loophole than withdraw to defense; he was waiting for someone to come for his life!
Logically speaking, even if Zhang Mingze only had a convoy of Guards left at his disposal, it should be enough to block any assassination attempt by Green-faced Ghost, since Green-faced Ghost no longer had any potential support.
But Yu Hu couldn’t help worrying.
He had actually considered accompanying the convoy to pick up Zhang Mingze today, but Zhang Mingze had refused.
“The Gang Leader must be anchored at the rear, stable and unmoving. This will show that our Tiger Saber Gang is more than capable and full of confidence. This point is very important; the more critical the moment, the more the Gang Leader must remain calm. Only then will the hearts of our people be at ease.”
This was what Zhang Mingze had said to persuade Yu Hu.
After the chaos Green-faced Ghost caused, the morale had indeed become somewhat unstable, so Yu Hu agreed with Zhang Mingze’s point.
And there was another critical factor:
“In this game, Chief Yan Yichen from Zhi Ge Court has joined. He is in the game, while you, Gang Leader, are outside directing the play. Who is superior and who is inferior will be clear at a glance. From now on, no one will have any objections to this, and Tiger Saber Gang will have only one voice, which will appear much stronger!”
This was the second point Zhang Mingze used to convince Yu Hu.
It was this second point that made Yu Hu fully agree with Zhang Mingze’s arrangement.
Zhang Mingze always calculated everything, never leaving anything to chance!
“Hopefully, this time will be no exception.”
Yu Hu looked in the direction of the convoy.
Boom! Boom boom boom——
Just then, a series of huge explosions came from afar, so loud that even Yu Hu, sitting in the yard, could hear them clearly.
He suddenly rose from the bench, with a look of shock and uncertainty:
“Hand Grenades? He used that box of Hand Grenades!”
Yu Hu strode toward the outside of the courtyard, but stopped at the gate.
Even if he rushed back now, it would be too late, slower than the backup team on the outskirts.
He could only trust that Zhang Mingze’s planning wouldn’t have any issues.
…
“Put some effort into it; I can take it.”
Li Fei, in his ‘Blood Demon State’, gestured to Yang Xuan with his fingers.
In ‘Blood Demon State,’ even without activating ‘Blood Rage,’ his strength was roughly equivalent to ‘Blood Rage’ activated with 7 Blood Souls!
On top of that, his speed, explosiveness, endurance, defense, and other capabilities were significantly enhanced.
His Steel Armor Implant was also being fully stimulated in the ‘Blood Demon State,’ triggering ‘Overlord Body’ autonomously.
However, the ‘Overlord Body’ in ‘Blood Demon State’ was stronger than in its normal state, and no longer had a time limit; as long as Li Fei maintained the ‘Blood Demon State,’ the Steel Armor Implant’s ‘Overlord Body’ would persist!
This was why Li Fei could so easily fend off Yang Xuan’s attacks.
The defensive boost from ‘Blood Demon State’ combined with the enhanced ‘Overlord Body’ meant that Li Fei’s defensive power was strong enough to withstand bullets from a handgun, especially with the Myriad Blood Pearl absorbing damage.
With these multiple enhancements, Li Fei was not only ‘tough’ but also ‘hard’ to an alarming degree!
In such a state, Yang Xuan was still able to inflict two minor wounds on Li Fei’s arm.
One could only say… not bad.
Buzz——
The roar of the engine starting suddenly rose, and the ‘Qilin’ vehicle that had been sitting there suddenly sprang into motion, shooting forward at a high speed.
Inside the vehicle, Zhang Mingze, sensing danger, ordered the driver to start the car and flee.
As for Yang Xuan, naturally, he was left behind to hold off Green-faced Ghost, to buy time.
Yang Xuan wasn’t surprised by this; he lunged at Li Fei again, the moment the car started.
His life had been given by the Tiger Saber Gang, and he was prepared to give it back when the time came.
