The useless figure from the Gong family that Ma Sanlaizi referred to was undoubtedly Master Gong.
Master Gong wasn’t his real name; it was a title born from the Gong family’s immense influence in Jinmen. Over time, the name had simply stuck.
The guards at the gate, seeing that the intruders were merely a young man and a scruffy old man, sneered coldly.
“Hmph! Ma Sanlaizi, you’ve got some nerve. The last person who dared to publicly insult Master Gong was strung up on the city gate! Do you want to follow in his footsteps?”
“Enough nonsense! Tell that bastard to come out! Don’t think I, Ma Sanlaizi, have been wasting my years for nothing!”
Perhaps truly emboldened by Xu Fei’s encouragement, Ma Sanlaizi was unusually brazen this time, much to the guards’ irritation.
“Hey, Ma Sanlaizi, you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, huh? Fine! You wait right there!”
With that, the five or six guards charged forward.
Ma Sanlaizi, now an old man with grey hair, was no match for them.
Seeing the situation, he quickly ducked behind Xu Fei.
“Young man, you’re with this old fool? I’d advise you to stay out of this, or else…”
“Or else what?”
“Or I’ll break your legs!”
As if on command, the guards launched their attack on Xu Fei.
Faced with these arrogant nobodies, Xu Fei had no intention of holding back.
His body, constantly tempered by true qi and yang energy, had become extraordinarily powerful.
Xu Fei lashed out with a fierce kick.
The guard who had been taunting him was sent flying with a single blow!
That wasn’t all—the guard, like a cannonball fired from a barrel, crashed into the remaining four or five guards behind him, knocking them all down!
Seeing Xu Fei dispatch the five or six guards with one kick, Ma Sanlaizi felt a wave of relief.
Though he had witnessed Xu Fei’s incredible strength before, watching it again—even a hundred times—would still leave him utterly astonished.
“Don’t get too excited. This is just the gate of the Gong family estate. You know better than I do how far we still have to go.”
“Leave the fighting to me later. Just focus on keeping yourself safe and don’t hold me back!” Xu Fei said.
Ma Sanlaizi nodded quickly, scurrying to the side to pick up shields and other items dropped by the fallen guards.
Then, Xu Fei led Ma Sanlaizi forward.
As expected, just crossing the outer courtyard from the gate, Xu Fei encountered three waves of resistance.
Fortunately, no matter how many opponents there were, they were mere rabble to Xu Fei, not worth his concern.
After breaking through the obstacles like a warrior storming through checkpoints, the two finally reached the familiar inner courtyard, where a tall building loomed before them.
“Let’s go in. That Gong fellow might be waiting for us inside!” Xu Fei beckoned.
Ma Sanlaizi followed, and the two stepped into the building.
Xu Fei had been here once before, when he came to rescue someone.
