Chapter 688: Chapter 422: The Hidden ’Fisherman

"Mr. Liu, those fighting Cultivators are so brazen! When are we going to take them down!" a young Guard who had been on the job for less than half a month said indignantly, listening to the fierce sounds of battle from the distant docks.

The middle-aged Guard, who was due to retire next year, said to the young man beside him, "The captain has already reported this. A Commander Level lord will be here soon to stop those guys. All we have to do now is wait patiently."

Just as the old and young Guards were chatting, Liu Yuancheng, who had just flown from his home, spotted an unusual fiery light on the distant horizon.

"Liu Yuancheng."

Hearing someone call his name, Liu Yuancheng stopped in mid-air and turned to look behind him.

A man in white robes flew to Liu Yuancheng’s side. He was about the same age and 1.75 meters tall, with a touch of gray at his temples.

The man emanated the Spiritual Energy Wave of a Tier Three Initial Stage cultivator. Like Liu Yuancheng, he was a Commander serving under the City Lord of Dongwu City.

"Zhang Zhichun, it’s you!" Liu Yuancheng said in surprise upon seeing his good friend. "What are you doing here?"

"Three Peak Tier Two Cultivators are openly violating the ban by fighting in the city. How could I not come when something like this is happening?" Zhang Zhichun said, his face dark. He was clearly furious with the brawling Cultivators.

"Does the Lord City Lord know about this?" Liu Yuancheng asked.

"If even we know, the Lord City Lord certainly knows by now."

"Let’s go! We need to get to the scene as soon as possible and put an end to this."

"Right."

With that, the two Dongwu City Commanders picked up their pace, flying toward the scene of the fight.

...

THUD.

"Aargh..."

Struck in the chest by a palm strike, Zhang Di was sent flying backward, letting out a pained scream.

The force of Lin Li’s palm strike was immense, shattering several of Zhang Di’s ribs. He was left gravely injured and, for the moment, unable to continue fighting.

"Zhang Di!" Wu Xiong cried out in concern as he watched his companion get sent flying, hit the ground, and remain unable to get back up.

And in the next moment, he felt the terrifying, masked assailant’s gaze land on him.

"Now it’s your turn. My original plan was to just kill the Red Blood Gang’s Gang Leader and leave. You brought this on yourselves..."

After incapacitating one foe, Lin Li spoke to the other in an indifferent tone, then lunged forward.

"Damn it!" Wu Xiong raised a hand, conjuring a Wind Shield in front of him, but it was instantly shattered by his ferocious foe. Watching his enemy close in, he let out a defiant roar and resisted the assault with all his might.

BANG.

BANG.

BANG...

Even when the two of them had ganged up on Lin Li, they had been completely suppressed. Now that only one person was left to face him, the outcome was easy to imagine.

Lin Li’s assault grew increasingly ferocious. ’This is perfect. I can cripple this enemy any second now. Once I get rid of these two annoying obstacles, I can go back to my original plan: find the hiding Fang Jingtang and finish him off.’

Success was within reach, and Lin Li was in a good mood. But just then, Wu Xiong, who was on the verge of collapse, let out a bizarre shout.

"I can’t hold on much longer! When the hell are you going to make your move?!"

’Eh???’ Hearing Wu Xiong’s shout, Lin Li froze for a moment. Then, alarm bells screamed in his mind.

"Wu Xiong, you’ve exposed me early! Still, the timing is perfect..." a very hoarse voice suddenly spoke from behind Lin Li.
