Chapter 1653: Chapter 1739: Defending as Attack
"This time, it may seem like we have the advantage on the surface, but whether we truly have the upper hand is actually quite clear."
"I understand, if we can hold out for three days until the sandstorm comes, we’ll be safe!"
"That’s pretty much it, we’re actually in a passive position now, and can only defend as a form of attack!"
Then, after Su Xuan spoke to everyone, they all listened attentively with serious expressions. They clearly understood that what Su Xuan said was the true reason that could help them escape.
"Then prepare yourselves, remember, defense must be strong. I’m heading out for a bit!"
"Young brother, you’re going out? It’s too dangerous out there!"
The Blade Emperor said worriedly.
"Hehe, it’s fine, I’m just going out to try my luck!"
Su Xuan smiled lightly; his so-called trying his luck was actually to see if he could eliminate Pheasant. Pheasant is the commander, so if he can be taken out, breaking the formation would be much easier.
After Su Xuan left, he rode away on a swift horse. Several wolves followed, but after a few steps, they turned back.
"Sometimes, Big Brother Su seems colder than anyone else, but actually he cares more about loyalty and others’ lives than anyone!"
At this moment on the city wall, two incredibly beautiful women watched in the direction of Su Xuan’s departure. One of them was undoubtedly Luo Tianyi, and the other was Fragrant Concubine.
Luo Tianyi looked at Su Xuan with pride in her eyes, proud that her man was such a heroic figure.
Though Su Xuan’s actions were sometimes hard to understand, like earlier when he watched those who surrendered then tragically died at the wolves’ jaws without a change in expression—but upon reflection, it’s clear Su Xuan was helping more people.
"Yes, Su Xuan is a true hero. How many truly understand such a hero?"
Watching Su Xuan’s departing figure, Fragrant Concubine’s eyes were somewhat vague. The husband she dreamed of was such a man, and she didn’t expect him to appear in her life.
Fragrant Concubine looked at Luo Tianyi, feeling more envy, for when Quicksand blood-washed Dragon Gate, Su Xuan initially had no intention to help, but due to Luo Tianyi, he acted without hesitation. Honestly, she envied Luo Tianyi, for a woman to have such a man for whom she would do anything.
Speaking of Su Xuan leaving Dragon Gate Inn, he rode a swift horse trying his luck in the desert. Because no one knew where Quicksand’s hideout was, even Blade Emperor didn’t know, so Su Xuan naturally said he was trying his luck.
Quicksand Gang!
"Baka, your conscience is so bad!"
Upon returning to Quicksand Gang, the instant Pheasant wanted to stab the damn Di Lingtian for disappearing without a trace at such a crucial time, he was so angry he could spit blood.
"I’ve told you, the wolf pack isn’t easy to deal with. You insisted they’re wolf dogs, what can I do!"
Di Lingtian scorned, thinking he had warned him that Desert Wolves are hard to defeat. You were so overconfident, can you blame me? Blame yourself for being overly conceited.
Di Lingtian wasn’t afraid of him making a move, thinking it was his territory. A strong dragon cannot suppress a local tyrant, so he thought it wasn’t time for Pheasant to betray him.
"Baka!"
Pheasant was so angry he nearly spat blood. As he said, to take Dragon Gate Inn, he still needed these people. Originally, Pheasant brought people from Tomb Attacking Sect, but sadly, in the desert, in the rainy season, they were gone. Pheasant had no choice but to find Di Lingtian for help.
"Mr. Pheasant, what’s wrong with your hand?"
Seeing Lord Pheasant, Di Lingtian curiously asked, noticing his hand looked burned, even though when Di Lingtian left, his hand seemed fine. Was it injured by Su Xuan?
"Damn Su Xuan, despicable!"
To Lord Pheasant, it was his greatest shame. He was heavily injured by Su Xuan, the scoundrel’s arm seriously burned. He had just applied medicine, but even after applying it, due to the severe burns, moving his right hand was excruciatingly painful.
"It really is Su Xuan!"
Di Lingtian was speechless, thinking he had warned him Su Xuan was difficult to deal with, but he didn’t believe him—now he’s paying the price, hahaha...
Of course, Di Lingtian wouldn’t show it outwardly, and after helping with Lord Pheasant’s injury, he thought of how Pheasant lost so many people this time, perhaps he’d hide in the bathroom to cry later!
"Di Lingtian, tomorrow you’ll join us in the attack..."
"You’re still going?!"
Di Lingtian said disdainfully, thinking how fearless he was. His hand was severely injured, yet he was still so confident.
"I have to go, otherwise I can’t swallow this anger. You’re from Tomb Attacking Sect, so I assume you have the tools to attack Dragon Gate Inn. I’ll lead my warriors with you, and once Dragon Gate falls, it’ll be yours."
Pheasant Brother seriously said, thinking when Dragon Gate breaks, it’s your goodbye kiss. Today, your retreat cost me thirty warriors. The thought made Pheasant Brother want to cry in the bathroom.
"Are you confident?"
Di Lingtian was tempted; for years, they’ve wanted to conquer Dragon Gate Inn and make himself king, but they’ve never succeeded. He’s quite frustrated.
Though Pheasant Brother suffered losses today, he brought so many people, indicating he’s not entirely brainless; his strength is real. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have survived the wolf attack.
"Of course I am. There’s nothing I, Pheasant, can’t handle. My Pheasant Team will crush Dragon Gate Inn this time!"
Pheasant arrogantly said, Di Lingtian raised an eyebrow, thinking he better not act all talk and no action, or he’d look down on him!
