Chapter 8: The Countermeasures Are Unceasing
Fang Shiyu could not help but say: "Elder brother, will you not leave with us?"
A group of green-clad soldiers surged forward, seemingly intent on leveling the artificial hill to the ground, while E'erduo furrowed his brow, fixated on the hill.
At this moment, Fang Xiaoyu, Fang De, and others were gathered in a modest courtyard. When Fang Xiaoyu appeared, Lei Tingting, the newlywed, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
As dawn broke on the horizon, Fang Xiaoyu patted Fang Shiyu on the shoulder and said, "Shiyu, you must protect everyone as we leave the city"
Erdor felt a chill rising from every pore of his body, as a sense of life-and-death crisis enveloped him. Almost instinctively, he pulled the plump Suhad in front of him as a shield while he lunged towards the garden's exit
One can tell from the sounds outside that the city of Guangzhou must be under martial law at this moment. Not to mention the thought of a single person trying to go out, even a fly would likely be unable to escape.
Seeing this, Suhad on the side shouted wildly, "Archers, shoot for me!"
Fang De and Miao Cuihua looked at Fang Xiaoyu with concern, while Fang Xiaoyu patted Lei Tingting's small hand and smiled at everyone, saying: "Everyone need not worry, it is just a minor injury."
Young master, take the stick
In the secret passage, Fang Xiaoyu tore open a firecracker and ignited a fuse in front of him, a faint cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth as he said: "I have long been prepared for this day; if I, a young master, had not made even this little preparation, wouldn't I be laughed at by countless predecessors who have traversed through time?"
The head was buzzing, and after a while, E'erduo finally managed to get up unsteadily. Looking through the collapsed courtyard wall, he saw that the back garden, dozens of yards away, had turned into a wasteland, with dozens of soldiers from the Green Camp dead, staining the entire garden red
Soon, everyone changed into their clothes, and even Lei Tingting, Miao Cuihua, and a few other women dressed up; it was nearly impossible to recognize them without a close look
Fang Xiaoyu opened the package and saw several sets of green military uniforms appear before the group. Upon seeing these garments, everyone suddenly understood.
The back-and-forth between the two was exceedingly perilous, yet at this moment, Fang Xiaoyu was filled with immense shock. When he had watched the movie depicting the battle between E'erduo and Fang Shiyu, he had only thought that E'erduo was formidable. However, now that he was truly engaged in combat, he realized that E'erduo was far stronger than he had anticipated
A terrifying shockwave surged forth, and countless fragments of stone struck Suhad's body like bullets, leaving it a bloody mess.
A volley of arrows shot towards Fang Xiaoyu, who, enduring the intense pain in his shoulder, charged fiercely towards a rockery in the garden.
With a loud bang, Fang Xiaoyu felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and he involuntarily staggered back a few steps. A stick from E'erduo struck him on the shoulder, and had it not been for the successful cultivation of his indestructible body technique, this blow would have likely rendered one of his arms useless.
Fang Xiaoyu smiled slightly and said, "Father, there's no need to worry about these matters. In any case, I already know what I need to know. Let's leave Guangzhou City first and discuss it later"
Fang Shiyu's ability to kill E'erduo was indeed due to a great deal of luck. At least in Fang Xiaoyu's view, the current Fang Shiyu is not a match for E'erduo. Of course, if Fang Shiyu were to fight with all his might while E'erduo was cautious and focused on self-preservation, then Fang Shiyu would have a chance to turn the tables and kill E'erduo.
Suhad, momentarily taken aback, could not help but shout: "Quick, pursue them! Not a single rebel shall be allowed to escape!"
At this moment, Fang Xiaoyu walked up to Fang De and said, "Father, the current target of the E'erduo is you and the roster of the Honghua Association in your hands, so we must leave Guangzhou City."
In the eyes of E'erduo, there was a gleam of brilliance, clearly indicating that he had not anticipated Fang Xiaoyu to possess such strength. However, the stronger Fang Xiaoyu performed, the more excited E'erduo became, to the extent that he signaled Suhade and others not to intervene
At the moment the arrows were about to strike, the rock wall of the artificial hill unexpectedly flipped over, and Fang Xiaoyu swiftly entered the secret passage, with dozens or even hundreds of arrows being blocked by the overturned stone slab
She cast a glance at Fang Shiyu, and at that moment, everyone turned their attention to Fang Xiaoyu, clearly curious about what method he had to leave Guangzhou City
Fang Shiyu approached and said to Fang Xiaoyu, "Elder brother, you must have a way, quickly tell us how to leave."
Fang De looked at Fang Xiaoyu in astonishment and said: "Xiaoyu, how did you know..."
Erdor rolled over the courtyard wall and, with a swift motion, took cover behind a flower bed. Above him, it was as if it were raining; severed limbs and shattered stones, along with mud and debris, fell in a cascade.
If it were not for the desire to test the difference in his cultivation compared to E'erduo, Fang Xiaoyu would have had enough confidence to avoid encountering E'erduo and lead Fang Shiyu and others to retreat calmly
Thunder Tiger struck Fang Xiaoyu's injured shoulder, causing him to let out a muffled groan. Seeing this, Lei Tingting immediately pushed Thunder Tiger away and, with concern, supported Fang Xiaoyu, softly saying: "My husband, what happened to you? Where are you hurt? Let me take a look..."
Seeing Fang Xiaoyu's rosy complexion, several people breathed a sigh of relief, as Fang Xiaoyu did not appear to be seriously injured
Old Lei Tiger rubbed his smooth forehead and cursed, "Damn it, Old Lei's daughter has been raised for nothing!"
Damn it, Fang De, Fang Xiaoyu, I, from E'erduo, swear that I will not be human if I do not kill you!
Old Thunder Lei widened his eyes and stared blankly at Fang De, suddenly exclaiming: "Damn it, my in-law, you have put me in a terrible situation!"
Seeing the rapidly spreading fuse behind him, emitting a hissing sound, Fang Xiaoyu turned around and fled.
Suddenly, a servant threw a staff at Fang Xiaoyu. Fang Xiaoyu leaped up and reached out to grab it, while E'erduo simultaneously reached for the same staff.
In such a situation, it would be a lie to say that Fang Xiaoyu was not anxious, as this was his first time facing such a dangerous predicament. Being able to maneuver with reason under the pressure of the E'erduo's offensive was already quite commendable.
The vast Fang residence is filled with countless traps and hidden mechanisms laid by him, all for this very day
Without mentioning the furious anger of Oerdong, an order was issued to seal off the entire city of Guangzhou, and troops were dispatched in waves to apprehend Fang Xiaoyu and others.
With a sharp whistle, Fang Xiaoyu swung the short stick in his hand and charged towards E'erduo, aiming to strike him on the head. E'erduo's figure flickered, and without hesitation, the short stick in his hand lunged towards Fang Xiaoyu's vital point.
In close combat between the two, Fang Xiaoyu, who has cultivated the Vajra Invulnerability Technique, possesses strength that is at least equal to, if not superior to, that of E'erduo.
The Qimei staff was immediately seized by two individuals, who exchanged a glance and subtly released their internal energy. Then, with a crack, the Qimei staff broke in half at the center
With a deafening explosion, the vast rear garden was instantly engulfed in a sea of flames, and dozens of green-clad soldiers who were digging into the artificial hill were blown to a bloody pulp on the spot
However, E'erduo was not in a good condition either, as he was struck in the waist and abdomen by Fang Xiaoyu. The short stick was also shattered, and at this moment, E'erduo was covering his waist with a pained expression on his face
It must be acknowledged that Fang Xiaoyu truly exerted great effort to make complete preparations for this day, even arranging how to leave after the city was sealed off.
As long as they disguise themselves as soldiers of the Green Camp, I believe no one would suspect that Fang Xiaoyu and his companions are hiding among the soldiers who are capturing people throughout the city
Some things are hard to understand. Lei Laohu, dressed only in a light blue robe, slapped Fang Xiaoyu on the shoulder and cursed, "Damn it, isn't harmony the most important thing? What is your old Fang family trying to do!"
One could say that although Fang Xiaoyu has been residing in the Shaolin Temple for these years, it does not mean that he is indifferent to all matters.
Fang Xiaoyu clapped his hands, and with a creak, the door opened. An elderly man approached, carrying a bundle, and respectfully handed it to Fang Xiaoyu
