Chapter 126: Chapter 114: Battle! Battle! Battle! (Super Chapter)
Behind the woman followed twenty members of the Three-Eyed Race, both men and women. They all wore black robes, under which the faint glint of A6-level battle armor could be glimpsed. The qi and blood they deliberately emitted far surpassed many quasi-martial artists, clearly indicating they had reached the level of extreme quasi-martial artists.
These twenty members of the Three-Eyed Race stood together, and their presence was in no way inferior to the two hundred personal guards from the Phosphorus Fire Gang behind Xia Ling.
"Estina! How are you here?" Xia Ling was surprised to see the woman from the Three-Eyed Race, a flicker of surprise flashing in her golden eyes.
Estina!
This woman from the Three-Eyed Race was well-known in the suburbs of Chasing Light City.
The second daughter of the Brand Clan, a martial artist clan living in the suburbs, which has over a dozen enterprises and collaborates with many powerful families and gangs in the suburbs.
Estina’s status in the Brand Clan was no less significant than hers in the Phosphorus Fire Gang. Even the gang leader, her grandfather, would usually show her some respect.
"I’ve been collaborating with Gang Leader Watu for many years, and when he told me he had something interesting to show me today, I came by to take a look." Estina’s voice was soft, like moonlight shimmering across silk, and she smiled gently, "And indeed, I’ve seen things here today that I wouldn’t get to see normally."
"Are you going to help that big ape?" Xia Ling glanced at Watu, then looked at Estina with a hint of anger in her eyes.
"I’m not helping; as I said, Watu is a friend and a long-term partner." Estina slightly shook her head, speaking softly, "Previously, your friend rudely attacked the Great Ape Gang’s camp. They came today just to give your friend a taste of reciprocity."
"However, considering you have friends from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, Watu will surely not go too far. He can be let go today, but the others must die!"
As Estina uttered the last word, an icy chill instantly enveloped the scene, changing the minds of those who thought Estina was a congenial beauty.
One word: kill!
Even the quasi-martial artist level vagabonds who had been fighting for years felt a sensation of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, like an emperor’s fury staining the land.
Estina’s words left Xia Ling momentarily silent and hesitant.
She knew very well what kind of woman Estina was; within the Phosphorus Fire Gang, many called her a little demon, but within the Brand Clan, she was deemed a madwoman.
Brutal to the point of reckless abandon!
"Miss." As Xia Ling hesitated, the elderly butler behind her spoke softly, "Estina’s family’s power and influence greatly surpass Phosphorus Fire Gang’s in the suburbs. If we fight head-on, we’re at a great disadvantage. It’s better to retreat with Hall Master Lin today, and we’ll get even after you advance to Martial Artist Level."
Xia Ling took a deep breath, smiling as she looked at Watu, speaking in an indifferent tone: "Fine, I’ll give Estina face today and will not intervene in your conflict with them. I hope Gang Leader Watu will not regret today’s decision in the future."
In other words—I’ll remember you!
"Miss Xia Ling, your friend can leave with you; we won’t stop you." Watu smiled unaffectedly, not taking it to heart.
Immediately, Xia Ling stopped looking at Watu and Estina, and directly contacted Lin Qi using the smart watch, connecting with him instantly on Red Moon Mountain.
"Hall Master Lin, my abilities are limited, and all I can do is help you leave." Xia Ling said apologetically, "As for the others, there’s nothing more I can do. If I make a move, Estina will definitely act as well, and then it’ll simply be a battle between you and the Great Ape Gang."
"I understand, thank you, Miss Xia, for your help today." Lin Qi heard clearly over the communicator outside the camp and understood that Xia Ling had done her best, curiously asking, "I wonder if Miss Xia could stop the Three-Eyed Race if they make a move?"
"If Estina and her people make a move?" Xia Ling was surprised, not understanding why Lin Qi asked, but she replied seriously, "If they dare to move, I certainly won’t let them have their way."
"Then I’ll have to trouble you, Miss Xia." Lin Qi nodded, expressing his gratitude.
"Hall Master Lin, do you really want to fight?" Xia Ling was startled by Lin Qi’s tone, "The Great Ape Gang has over fifteen hundred men, and more than seven hundred are above Apprentice Level. They are well-prepared this time, and you are no match for their organized combat coordination."
"At Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, we would rather shout and die than live in silence!" Lin Qi thought about it and felt it necessary to articulate the fearless reasoning of a player, making future explanations easier.
"Rather shout and die than live in silence?!" Xia Ling looked at Lin Qi, who had disconnected, feeling at that moment that Lin Qi and the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall were truly extraordinary; perhaps it was this mindset that allowed their rapid progress, something she lacked in terms of honing.
Thinking about her earlier plan to help Lin Qi escape seemed almost disrespectful to his belief.
"Miss, what should we do? Should we pick him up?" the butler asked.
"No need." Xia Ling waved her hand, her eyes sweeping across to Estina with a growing determination to settle this dispute, "Prepare, have everyone watch them closely. If they dare make a move, intercept them immediately!"
"Will they move?" The butler was puzzled by Xia Ling’s intentions, as this battle seemed a lost cause for Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, and Estina had no need for unnecessary actions.
After Lin Qi ended the call, he turned to the players gathered behind him, pausing before loudly announcing, "The outcome is clear; the Great Ape Gang wants us dead and covets our Red Moon Mountain. So there’s only one thing left for us to do."
"Draw your swords!"
"From now on, the spoils belong to you, and anyone who kills the Deputy Gang Leader of the Great Ape Gang will be rewarded with one hundred thousand points and one thousand contribution points, and anyone who kills Gang Leader Watu will earn three hundred thousand points and three thousand contribution points!"
As Lin Qi finished speaking, the players burst into cheers.
"Mighty Hall Master!"
"All the spoils are ours? Hall Master, you’re awesome!"
"Looks like Hall Master plans to bleed today; brothers, it’s time for benefits!"
Fluo, stationed on the mountainside, watched the players’ sudden surge in morale below, filled with questions.
Wasn’t the loot supposed to belong to those who made the kills anyway?
But before Fluo could gather his thoughts, he witnessed an astonishing scene.
The ninety players, who were supposed to be guarding the base of the mountain, rushed out without a word, charging madly towards the Great Ape Gang, completely ignoring any defensive protocols.
