Chapter 1652: Chapter 1738: Subduing the Enemy Without a Fight
Su Xuan said softly.
"Brother, aren’t you praising the enemy too much while diminishing your own spirit!" In Brother Meng’s worldview, his elder brother is invincible; there’s nobody in this world that his brother cannot deal with.
"You naive boy, do you really think they can’t break through this city gate? They’re calculating the timing and intend to conquer without a fight!"
Su Xuan looked at Brother Meng helplessly. Actually, today he planned to exploit Pheasant’s confidence and arrogance to kill Brother Pheasant.
Once the commander is taken out, chaos will ensue immediately. However, Su Xuan hadn’t anticipated that they mastered Earth Damp 24, sacrificing the lives of 24 martial artists to ensure the success of the main force. As a result, Brother Pheasant would probably become even more cautious in the future, making it unlikely to deceive him easily.
"Brother, how about we take the initiative and strike them before they stabilize!"
Brother Meng said confidently.
"Uh... you are really quite confident, huh!"
Su Xuan gave a thumbs up, then left with a sense of helplessness. After leaving, Su Xuan took down the Heroic Sword. At that time, the wolf packs had eaten their fill and didn’t leave. Instead, they hid around the area, making Su Xuan feel frustrated. Now that the wolf packs were full, they probably wouldn’t attack actively but would wait for the storm three days later or when Brother Pheasant attacks Dragon Gate Inn to move in opportunistically.
Although they might not be high-intelligence animals, one thing is certain—they have clear goals, which makes them very patient.
"Ah, this is really a situation with pursuers ahead and blockades behind. Dragon Gate Inn is genuinely in danger this time!"
When Su Xuan returned to Dragon Gate Inn, he saw many people in the lobby looking at him with eyes full of admiration. Su Xuan knew that after today’s events, they understood that this conflict is no longer just a Dragon Gate vs. Quicksand rivalry.
Every year, there are thrill-seekers who come from hundreds of miles away to film the Dragon Gate vs. Quicksand conflict and then sell the footage for a lot of money, but this time they realize they might not make it out alive.
"Brother Su, everyone wants to know if staying at Dragon Gate Inn is safe for us!"
At this moment, a representative approached Su Xuan and spoke earnestly.
Su Xuan gave a bitter smile and replied helplessly.
"Let me put it this way; now there’s no place that’s truly safe. Outside, at least sixty wolves are lurking, along with those experts from Quicksand and Japan, and inside it’s not particularly safer. Three days from now, there will be windy weather, and I think you understand what I mean!"
Su Xuan spoke earnestly; when he finished speaking, the people nodded, clearly understanding his meaning. In essence, fleeing means death, not fleeing also means death—unless one can grow a pair of wings and fly out of this desert before the sandstorm hits, surviving is still possible.
"Brother Su, is there any good strategy you can offer us? Everyone is counting on you!"
This man looked at Su Xuan earnestly, clearly indicating Su Xuan had become their pillar of support after today’s events. They realized Su Xuan was not only skilled in Kung Fu but also wise, successfully driving away the enemies with just words. If Su Xuan doesn’t take action this time, they know they’re destined to die.
"How many among you can perform Kung Fu?"
Su Xuan asked curiously, as he hadn’t really investigated this before. Not everyone here is proficient in Kung Fu; many here are businessmen with economic acumen, making substantial profits every year.
"Never mind, even if you are skilled, can you be more formidable than those wolves?"
Su Xuan said helplessly.
"Brother Su, are we just going to sit and wait for death?"
"Of course not; since you are willing to listen to me, let me tell you, our only chance to survive exists!"
Su Xuan spoke sincerely; as he finished speaking, they listened attentively, feeling hopeful. Initially, when Su Xuan said there’s no chance of survival, they felt despondent. Many had climbed onto the city wall to watch the event today; witnessing the sheer power of the wolf packs charging down felt strong enough to overwhelm. Only a few among them had combat ability, making it impossible to repel the wolves.
"Brother, just say the word. As long as we can lend a hand, we will do so without conserving life!"
An elder spoke earnestly, knowing within their hearts that Su Xuan was their last straw for survival. If they can’t grasp this straw, they’ll end up buried in a foreign land.
"Okay, let me explain; our only opportunity to survive is to withstand three days and make it safely through the last day. If we can’t endure the third day, there’s nothing more I can do!"
Su Xuan rubbed his brows; this was a chaotic battle. Su Xuan knew even he couldn’t easily withdraw, simply because Earth Damp 24 might trap him. Of course, the prerequisite is that he gets trapped by them, but Su Xuan isn’t one of those naive wolves, so trapping him isn’t truly easy.
The Earth Damp 24 formed by two people certainly wouldn’t bother Su Xuan; it takes 24 people creating a setup to truly draw his attention.
"What you need to do is defend; Pheasant and his crew will definitely launch an offensive. When they attack, the wolf packs will seize the opportunity to infiltrate. What you need to do is guard each gap. If the wolf packs get inside, you all know the terrain better than me, and it will probably be the start of a nightmare!"
Su Xuan spoke earnestly, and when he finished speaking, they nodded, knowing Su Xuan’s words were correct.
"Fine, we will collectively help defend every door, even if it means risking our lives to protect these entrances!"
The elder spoke earnestly.
"Indeed, Blade Emperor, you as the Tomb Guardian Faction must anticipate methods the Tomb Attacking Sect will employ to siege your Dragon Gate; hence, guarding the main entrance is even more crucial."
