“Mr. Anderson, I think we should just kill these two since they're useless to us now.”
They were thinking of sparing Sword Saint and King of Fighters so they could threaten the rest of China with them, but the people of China couldn't care less about them.
“What are you saying? If we kill them, we'd just be avenging that b*stard Chu Tianfan! If these people of Jiangdong won't make it easy for us, then we're not going to make it easy for them either!”
In the end, Anderson decided to keep Sword Saint and King of Fighters alive for the time being.
He planned on taking care of Jiangdong first before determining what he would do about them.
Just like that, the two sides remained at a stalemate.
The Chu Sect could neither break through the enemy's defenses through brute force nor negotiate their way into Mount Yunding.
“Huh... Looks like our only option is to wait for Mr. Chu and the others to come back. We'll regroup and come up with a way to break through the enemy's formation.”
The minutes continued to tick by.
Upon receiving Chu Yuan's order for all members of Chu Sect to gather, Chu Tianqi, who was fighting in Japan, quickly led his men back to China.
Meanwhile, Chu Sect members who stayed at Yanjing had finally broken through the Yanjing Formation.
Duoli, who was in charge of annihilating the Xu family, exclaimed with tears in his eyes, “Ha! It's finally down!”
Breaking through that formation was ridiculously difficult for them.
Dozens of them had been taking turns attacking it day and night. They even hired lots of Supreme fighters from Yunzhou to help them out, many of which collapsed from exhaustion halfway through.
Even someone as powerful as Duoli nearly fainted from how taxing it was.
The thought of giving up had crossed his mind many times, but he decided to keep at it.
After continuously attacking the formation for about two weeks, they were finally able to shatter it.
The feeling of achieving success after putting in so much hard work was so touching that they nearly broke down in tears on the spot.
“We did it, guys! We finally did it! We've been going at it day and night with all of our might, and our hard work has finally paid off! The Yanjing Formation is down at last! All that's left for us to do is reap the fruits of our efforts! Everyone, heed my command! We shall now commence our assault on the Xu residence and kill these remnants of the Dragon God Hall! Let their blood wash away the pain and fatigue we've suffered throughout the past two weeks! Attack!” Duoli shouted at the top of his voice.
His voice echoed through the area and got Chu Sect members outside Yanjing all hyped up.
Like a pack of rabid dogs, they charged at the Xu residence looking forward to massacring the remnants of the Dragon God Hall.
To their surprise, however, what awaited them inside was not a bunch of weaklings waiting to be slaughtered. Instead, there was not a single person in sight.
Duoli was on the verge of losing his mind at that point.
“What the... D*mn it! Where are they? Where the f*ck are those b*stards at?” he screamed desperately like a madman.
We've been working so f*cking hard just to break through that d*mned formation! How come there isn't a single enemy in sight? Does this mean all of our efforts have been in vain?
Duoli was so angry and frustrated that he nearly had a stroke on the spot.
Suddenly, someone came running over and said, “Sir, we discovered a tunnel in the manor! Those b*stards must've escaped through the tunnel!”
Boom!
Enraged, Duoli smashed a pavilion in front of him into smithereens.
