Chapter 87 - Buying Time
They had 30 minutes left at most!
The crowd was shocked. The location where they were in had been plotted in accordance with the predicted route taken by the robbers, so as to allow them to intercept those people and prevent further escape.
However, seeing how assured Lu Xuan behaved, everyone felt at ease somehow. What Lu Xuan pulled just moments ago had been too shocking. It seemed like he had taught Yang Chengsi a lesson without breaking a sweat.
Lu Xuan’s authority was established because Yang Chengsi had been made an example of, after all.
Rising up by stepping onto others had been the quickest way to ascend the social ladder.
“Get ready, people. Be mindful that those people may have reinforcements backing them up at any given moment. Stay sharp and get all sides covered.” Lu Xuan continued, “We have five minutes. We need to end the fight in five minutes before we can think about taking on any reinforcements.”
Lu Xuan checked the course the robbers took. They had been going around circles for days, yet at that moment, they were all heading straight for the beach. It was obvious that the people they were supposed to meet had arrived, and they were on their way to rendezvous with those people.
“Are the Chinese running out of capable people already? I can’t imagine they would let a boy like you take the lead!” Sakata Juuzaburo laughed away as he spoke. Lu Xuan looked squishy and unassuming, appearing as if he was not even a cultivator at all.
“Chinese boy, we’d like to see if you can take the seal and stay alive at the same time!” James said in fluent Chinese, which was completely at odds with his appearance. “Delay these people and wait for that one to show up.”
Yun Sheng and the others looked grim right away. Lu Xuan had been right all along. The enemy had reinforcements.
Judging from how the man dared to blurt the fact out without care meant that reinforcements were probably very close and would arrive before long.
If they were to be unlucky enough, they might have even run into them at any given moment.
“What? You guys wanna buy time? You people are ridiculous!”
Lu Xuan smirked.
“Get rid of these people as soon as possible. I’ll see for myself what their reinforcements are made of!”
His forces attacked right after he was done speaking. Yang Chengsi went straight for Sakata Juuzaburo’s throat.
Monk Buyi charged at James, who was right before him, with his staff in hand.
Those two enemy leaders were Martial Arts Legends, so it was only natural that it was the gangster boss and the head monk taking them on.
As for the others, all of them pounced on the remaining undercover agent-fighters from both countries.
Shouts and noises of combat erupted all over the woods in mere seconds. The killing intent was shooting to the heavens.
All of the others were doing battle, leaving only Lu Xuan standing around, doing nothing.
Yang Chengsi was taking on the Japanese, and Monk Buyi was taking on the Americans. The battles taking place between the four Martial Arts Legends were frightening enough to tear the woods to shreds.
Spirit Qi filled the entire battlefield and isolated the place at the same time.
No common folk would have been able to even get near them.
Not everyone would have been able to get rid of the likes of Martial Arts Legends, just as how Lu Xuan did it. Despite the differences in power between most Martial Arts Legends, they would have still had trouble ending fights between them in a short period of time.
The remaining combatants at Baodan and HuaJin levels were locked in their respective battles as well. While the Japanese and the American fighters were few, all of them had been level five combatants. Yet, there were still a great many among the Chinese ones who were at level four.
Sheer numbers alone were unable to completely make up for the difference in quality.
The battlefield was in a deadlock, with no sides gaining the upper hand against the other.
“It seems like it’s showtime for me. You wanna buy time? Let’s see if you have what it takes to do so.”
Lu Xuan launched into battle like a behemoth.
