“Uncle, the fighting below has now entered a white-hot stage. If my men strike from the rear, I believe Li Feng’s subordinates will never expect it. At that point, your men can avoid the danger of being completely wiped out.” A sharp glint flashed in Zhao Xingping’s eyes as he spoke gravely to Liu Dongjian.
“That is indeed a good plan, but Xingping, the men you have now are the foundation your father left you. If they suffer any casualties, your strength will be weakened by that much. In the future, when you vie for the position of Zhao family head, it will probably become troublesome.” Liu Dongjian said.
“Uncle, what are you saying? To avenge my father’s death, any price is worth paying.” Zhao Xingping shook his head and said.
Hearing this, Liu Dongjian felt secretly delighted. He knew Zhao Xingping was a man with very strong pride. The more he said this, the greater the chance Zhao Xingping would take action.
“Xingping, this…”
“Uncle, you do not need to say more. I will go arrange the men right now.” Having said that, Zhao Xingping ignored Liu Dongjian and directly left the room with the old man.
“Zhao Xingping, oh Zhao Xingping, I hope you do not disappoint me. You are my chance to turn defeat into victory.” After watching Zhao Xingping leave the room, Liu Dongjian’s expression turned gloomy. He sneered and muttered to himself, “But it would be even better if you, Zhao Xingping, died at Li Feng’s hands. Otherwise, in twenty years, you would become another Zhao Xiu, a disaster for our Liu family.”
On the other side, after Zhao Xingping left the room, the old man behind him said gravely, “Young master, are you really going to help Liu Dongjian?”
“Grandpa Lu, helping Liu Dongjian is helping ourselves. The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable. To kill Li Feng and take revenge, our strength alone is far from enough. We must borrow Liu Dongjian’s power.” A glint flashed in Zhao Xingping’s eyes as he spoke gravely.
“But young master, this Liu Dongjian harbours ill intentions.” The old man reminded him.
“I know, but we have no other choice.” Zhao Xingping said, filled with anger. “If my father had not died at Li Feng’s hands, in just twenty years, our Zhao family could have swallowed up the other three great families. But now that father is dead, those old fellows in the family have changed their plans. Faced with the powerful Li Feng, they do not even dare to seek revenge. So we can only avenge him ourselves. Liu Dongjian is right. The power we control is no match for Li Feng. We can only use borrowed strength to strike. Liu Dongjian is our only choice.”
“As for Liu Dongjian using us.”
At this point, Zhao Xingping’s expression turned sinister as he said, “After tonight, whether Liu Dongjian can still become the Liu family head is uncertain. At that time, we will have plenty of opportunities to deal with him.”
“As long as the young master understands.” The old man breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He knew that Zhao Xingping, who appeared reckless and brave in others’ eyes, was actually proficient in both civil and military affairs. Zhao Xiu had been able to securely hold the position of family head these years thanks to Zhao Xingping’s strategies and advice.
“Grandpa Lu, let us go prepare now. We cannot let Liu Dongjian’s men all die.” Zhao Xingping said gravely.
“Yes.”
At the same time, while Liu Dongjian and Zhao Xingping were meeting, Li Wu and Xu Yang were also discussing.
“That damned Li Feng, when did he become so cunning?” Li Wu’s face was livid as he watched Mu Jiajia appear with her men. He had never expected that in the battle at the entrance of the Tianfu Building, Li Feng had actually arranged three waves of people. It was fortunate he had not acted earlier, otherwise it would be his, Li Wu’s, men who were now surrounded and killed.
“Young master, Li Feng should not have such deep scheming. I think the one who arranged all this can only be Zhong Shuhui.” Xu Yang said gravely.
“Zhong Shuhui.” Li Wu gnashed his teeth somewhat.
“Exactly, it is Zhong Shuhui.” Xu Yang nodded and said, “Zhong Shuhui has followed Mu Chunfeng for so many years. She must have learned plenty of Mu Chunfeng’s despicable and shameless methods. Only she could arrange such interlocking conspiracies.”
Li Wu nodded, then immediately asked, “Xu Yang, what do you think we should do now?”
“Continue waiting.” Xu Yang replied.
“Continue waiting?”
“Precisely, continue waiting.” Xu Yang said gravely. “We wait for Li Feng to come out of the Tianfu Building. Young master, our target is Li Feng, not his subordinates. Even if all of Li Feng’s subordinates die, as long as Li Feng lives, our goal will not be achieved.”
“You are right.” A sharp glint flashed in Li Wu’s eyes.
“Moreover, three waves of Li Feng’s subordinates have already appeared. We do not know if he has any other people still hidden.” Xu Yang said.
“What? Xu Yang, you still suspect that Li Feng has other subordinates concealed?” Li Wu’s expression changed slightly.
The appearance of Li Feng’s three waves of subordinates had already surprised him greatly. Could it be that besides these people, Li Feng had more?
“Young master, look.” Xu Yang pointed at Lu Shuang and said gravely, “This person has at least the strength of Postnatal Seventh Layer. In the intelligence we obtained before, there was no information about this individual. It is as if they appeared out of thin air.”
“Indeed, I know all the family’s Postnatal Seventh Layer and above ancient martial artists. This person is clearly not from the family.” Li Wu nodded, his face somewhat solemn.
“Young master, this person is either an expert recruited by Li Feng or hidden power from Li Chuanwei and Mu Chunfeng. But no matter which, this force cannot be underestimated. Moreover, can we not also consider that, besides this person, they might have concealed other experts?” Xu Yang said gravely.
“Indeed, we must guard against this.” Li Wu nodded.
“Furthermore, even if Zhong Shuhui and the others kill all these people, will their next target not be Zhu Yuanyang at the rear entrance of the Tianfu Building? Zhu Yuanyang’s forces are not weak. We can completely sit here and watch quietly, letting them fight until both sides are gravely injured.” Xu Yang said gravely.
“Exactly. Zhu Yuanyang is our opponent in this Fist King Championship. If we can weaken her strength, it will also be a good thing for us.” Li Wu’s eyes lit up. He loved that feeling of the snipe and the clam fighting while the fisherman profits.
“Then we will continue waiting.” Li Wu made up his mind.
“However, young master, although we wait here, it does not mean we do nothing. Now is the time we can make preparations.” Xu Yang said.
“Xu Yang, what preparations do you think we should make?” Li Wu caught the implication in Xu Yang’s words.
“Young master, no matter how strong Li Feng and his men are, they are not Innate experts. We only need a few sniper rifles to deal with them.” Xu Yang said gravely.
“Sniper rifles?” Li Wu’s expression changed.
“Exactly. I have already prepared several sniper rifles earlier. No matter how strong Li Feng and his men are, as long as they are not Innate experts, sniper rifles still pose a fatal threat to them. Moreover, after continuous fierce battles, even if Li Feng wins, his true qi will be largely depleted. Even if he still has experts protecting him, in the face of sniper rifles, he will undoubtedly die. After all, Li Feng’s subordinates cannot possibly be as formidable as Li Feng himself.” Xu Yang said, his gaze cold.
“Indeed. To deal with ancient martial artists above Postnatal Seventh Layer, only sniper rifles can do it. Xu Yang, you have done well. Arrange for those snipers to come here immediately.” Li Wu nodded. Although he was somewhat surprised that Xu Yang had concealed the acquisition of several sniper rifles from him, this was indeed a good method to deal with Li Feng.
“Young master, the snipers cannot be positioned here.” Xu Yang shook his head and said.
“Oh, why is that?” Li Wu was stunned.
“If we position the snipers here, it might attract others’ attention. After all, in Tianhai City, the intelligence networks of Hongmen and Zhu Yuanyang cannot be underestimated. If discovered, it could very likely cause unnecessary misunderstandings. That is one reason.” Xu Yang said gravely.
“Secondly, this is the main battlefield. Here, Li Feng and his men will remain constantly vigilant. Under their vigilance, it might cause certain difficulties for the snipers. Therefore, if we want a one-hit kill, it must be when Li Feng and his men have let down their guard.”
“Then where do you think the snipers should be placed?” Li Wu asked gravely.
“Young master, if you were Li Feng, after defeating Zhu Yuanyang and the others, what would you do?” Xu Yang countered.
“I would, of course, take back Tianya Pavilion.” Li Wu answered without thinking.
“Exactly. Tianya Pavilion is now occupied by Zhu Yuanyang’s people. If Li Feng wins, he will probably counterattack Tianya Pavilion first thing. Not only that, Li Feng will also counterattack Hongmen’s stronghold.” Xu Yang said gravely.
“Counterattack Hongmen’s stronghold? That is impossible, right?” Li Wu said.
“Nothing is impossible. Li Feng even dared to kill Chen Haotian. Seizing Hongmen’s stronghold would be the most normal thing for him.” Xu Yang glanced at Li Wu and said gravely, “According to our current intelligence, Hongmen’s largest stronghold in Tianhai City is Yuxing Lake.”
“Would Li Feng also know about Yuxing Lake?” Li Wu asked.
“Young master, do not underestimate Li Feng. Li Feng has swallowed up the Blackstone Gang in Tianhai City and eliminated the Brothers Association. He has already become the local boss of Tianhai City. It is impossible for him not to investigate Yuxing Lake. Even if he could not, Li Chuanwei and Mu Chunfeng would help him.”
At this point, Xu Yang sneered and said, “Therefore, our snipers should be positioned at the intersection of Fengyuan Group, Tianya Pavilion, and Yuxing Lake.”
