Chapter 676: Chapter 667: Attack and Counterattack, All Accounted For!

Weekend night.

In Dongfang Capital, at the entrance of a small alley on Sifang Gate Street.

"Your Majesty the King, are you really going to go in there by yourself?"

"Of course, you all go ahead, this place carries too many memories for me, and today I want to go see it alone!"

"Well... Alright."

Seeing Zhang Wei’s unwavering intention to leave, his subordinates naturally couldn’t stop him, so they drove away.

After which, Zhang Wei watched the people from Niuniu Archipelago leave, then he stepped into the familiar street corner alley in Sifang Gate Street.

Making his way through the cramped alley, with the help of the thin and sparse moonlight pouring down, he could barely make out the uneven ground under his feet.

Past the alley, an open space appeared in front of him.

The familiar stone path, the familiar front yard, now overgrown with weeds due to almost 2 years of neglect.

"What a pity, back in the day when I was here, I would occasionally clean up the entrance, not letting it become what it is now."

With a sigh, he moved towards the familiar Lin Mansion.

As he turned the corner of the alley, the first sight that greeted him was the now-abandoned Zhang’s Martial Arts School (formerly the Hua Family Mansion), as the Zhang family, including Zhang Xinwu, had moved away, with even the school’s sign gone without a trace.

Next up was Zhao Mansion next door, the gate closely shut, obviously void of any inhabitants.

"According to my second daughter, ever since that incident with me, she and Uncle Zhao now live inside the company, occasionally staying in the outer duplex apartment, and haven’t returned to this place."

He muttered to himself, then felt sentimental.

It looked like once the neighbors on both sides had moved away, Uncle Zhao considered this old home to be a place of sorrow, thus he decided not to live here anymore.

Finally, Zhang Wei arrived at the front gate of Lin Mansion.

Having been abandoned for two years, Lin Mansion had already been falling apart, and now even the paint on the door was peeling off, the scent of decay coming forth was quite discomforting.

He gently pushed open the door, which could no longer be locked due to rust, and looked upon the once familiar courtyard, which hadn’t changed much in appearance.

However, the courtyard was overrun with weeds and echoed with the cries of insects and beasts, ruining the beautiful memories Zhang Wei once had here.

"The Lin Family really is something, in two years, just because I lived here, it’s been neglected like this, you could at least hire someone to take care of it!"

Looking at the place where he once made so many wonderful memories being so neglected, Zhang Wei felt quite annoyed.

But soon, his frown relaxed.

"This place shouldn’t have been given to the Lin Family, it should belong to me!"

He laughed, having formulated a plan in his mind.

Just like that, Zhang Wei turned around, preparing to leave Lin Mansion while walking away.

"Knowing Zhang Tianlong as I do, if I’m not mistaken, he won’t be able to stand it."

"After all, I’ve already made my move, he’s bound to want to retaliate, and if he doesn’t, then he’s not Zhang Tianlong."

"My diplomatic immunity ensures he can’t do anything above board, that’s like having a ’get out of jail free’ card, he has no options, so he must resort to underhanded measures."

"Among all the underhanded methods, the simplest, most effective, and direct one is a decapitation strike, deploying all available forces for a precision strike on the target."

Zhang Wei stepped out of Lin Mansion, then called out to the moon in the sky, "Am I right or not, everyone?"

No sooner had his words fallen, than several figures flickered on the rooftops of Lin Mansion behind him.

From the entrance of a nearby alley, more figures raced towards him.

Thump thump thump!

A slight tremor traveled through the ground as if some large creature was moving.

Then, figures from all directions converged, encircling Zhang Wei at the center.

Many people had arrived, with quite a few standing on the eaves, on the rooftops of Lin Mansion and Zhao Mansion.

Who these people were wasn’t important anymore, because Zhang Wei saw several familiar faces.

"What’s this? You’ve gathered so many people to deal with me?"

He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, the picture of calm, while also looking at the leader of the group.

"Wu Shentong, Wu Yuanzong, Uncle Fu, Hua Chaoli, is this your top fighting force?"

In response to Zhang Wei’s provocation, Wu Shentong, the leader, took a step forward.

"Zhang Wei, are you joking? All of us here, and you think we can’t handle you?"

"Indeed, so many people would be more than enough to handle me, but aren’t you afraid of my simple-minded friend?"

Hearing this, Uncle Fu instinctively took a defensive stance, his head swiveling around to look in all directions.

He had once attempted a sneak attack on Zhang Wei, but unfortunately, that attempt had been foiled by Xia Qianyue, who also inflicted a hidden injury on him with her formidable combat strength.

If that young girl were still around, no one present could probably single-handedly stand against her.

Even with powerful combat strength like that, the so-called human-wave tactics would also become meaningless.

"Afraid? How could we not be afraid!"

Facing the provocation, Wu Yuanzong also stepped forward and stood by his father’s side.

"Zhang Wei, although your little girlfriend is astonishingly strong in combat, she isn’t here right now!"

Laughing, Wu Yuanzong said, "We have already investigated clearly, your little girlfriend is at home, at that Dongjiang Bank house that Zhao Qingyan gave you, keeping your father-in-law company!"

"But it’s strange to say; you came back to Dongfang Capital and yet haven’t stayed there once. It really surprised us all—do you also plan to ’pass the doorway without entering’ thrice?"

Zhang Wei sneered, "Wu Yuanzong, give it a rest, will you? You and your dad, a couple of coarse martial louts, are trying to show off your literary flair to me?"

Wu Yuanzong’s eyebrows furrowed, and a vein on his forehead throbbed faintly.

"Ha ha ha, still so defiant when death is near, truly worthy of being Lawyer Zhang!"

A buzzing "thunderous sound" came from the side; it was Hua Chaoli who had started speaking.

He stood over 2.5 meters tall, with arms thick as ordinary people’s thighs, his entire body rippling with muscles, much like a muscle monster.

At this moment, as he looked at Zhang Wei, his bald head revealed a ferocious smile.

"Hua Chaoli, speaking of which, I’ve always been looking forward to you clashing with Silly, because you two had a skirmish two years ago. Pity, it ended without a winner!"

"So what if it did?"

"It’s been two years, you’re probably no match for my family’s Silly now, are you?"

"What did you say!"

"After all, even if the biological injectable drugs in your body have been updated and iterated, your body’s innate quality is just so-so. You got metal bones inside you, right? That’s why you can’t even pass security checks. You couldn’t board the Dongfang Star back in the day because of that."

Zhang Wei looked at the giant before him, his gaze roaming over the adversary’s body: "You’ve increased muscular explosive power, enhanced muscular flexibility, intensified bone density, strengthened internal organ metabolic functions and blood transfusion capability, and you even have spare organs and nutrients for boosting power and endurance in your body. It can be said that your body is wholly a weapon!"

This time, Hua Chaoli’s eyes finally took on a solemn look.

Because his body’s biggest secret had been completely exposed by Zhang Wei.

Indeed, his body had been enhanced through various improvements by his brother, Hua Chaofan, to possess strength capable of rivaling Xia Qianyue.

But this kind of enhancement wasn’t a natural evolution of the body itself but the result of biological and mechanical transformation, which meant that the enhancements and capabilities were limited by the level of the transformer’s technology.

Hua Chaoli confirmed the saying that human abilities ultimately have their limits; flesh and blood are poverty-stricken, machinery ascends!

And Xia Qianyue was the other extreme—believing that since human abilities eventually have their limits, she chose not to be human!

"Ha ha ha, fine, since you all came, Zhang Someone will just take this opportunity to experience your prowess!"

As Zhang Wei spoke, he assumed a fighting stance and then casually beckoned the line of adversaries in front of him.

"Are you going to come at me one by one or all together? Suit yourselves!"

Once these words came out, many people on the spot started sneering.

When did you, Zhang Wei, become so confident? Don’t you realize the situation?

We have at least a hundred people here.

The Lin Family has sent quite a few people, the Wu Family has sent quite a few people, the Zhang Family has sent quite a few people, and each of them is a proficient fighter, each able to handle a normal person within a few moves.

Plus, we have master fighters in place.

The Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, Wu Shentong; his son Wu Yuanzong; Lin Family’s old butler Ah Fu, and the demonically modified man, Hua Chaoli!

With such a lineup, what can you fight with?

You are not only unafraid now but also asking if you should be ganged up on or face singles duels—this is simply...

Biting the moon - utterly ignorant of the ways of the world!

"What’s the matter, are you all afraid? Why aren’t you talking?"

Zhang Wei still maintained his composure, questioning the group in front of him.

Wu Shentong and Wu Yuanzong looked at each other, then the father signaled for his son to step forward.

Wu Yuanzong received the order.

"Zhang Wei, since you’re courting death, I just so happen to want to avenge an old grudge!"

Seeing this, the others took a couple of steps back, giving space to the both of them.

In their expectations, Wu Yuanzong alone was more than enough to deal with Zhang Wei.

"Oh, you’ve really chosen to come at me one by one, huh? Fine then, let’s start with you, Wu Yuanzong!"

Wu Yuanzong snorted coldly; he moved swiftly, charging straight toward Zhang Wei.

He knew Zhang Wei’s combat ability could not surpass his own, for he had been practicing martial arts since childhood, and even now in his forties having neglected martial arts, the foundation was still there.

Dealing with an ordinary person was more than enough, and Zhang Wei was just an ordinary person.

He aimed a simple, straightforward punch at Zhang Wei’s head, not intending to knock him out; he was just savoring the pleasure of slapping the face.

Slap!

A crisp slapping sound echoed, and Wu Yuanzong saw that his fist, which should have hit Zhang Wei, had missed, and then he felt a burning pain on his face.

"This..."

"What, you never thought of being hit by someone else?"

Zhang Wei’s figure appeared at the side of Wu Yuanzong, wearing a face of mockery.

"I..."

"Bring it on!"

Zhang Wei swung his hand again, delivering a second slap.

Wu Yuanzong staggered back, but unfortunately not fast enough.

Smack!

Another strike resonated, this time the other cheek stung fiercely.

"This..."

Wu Yuanzong was dumbfounded, having been slapped in the face twice by a "normal person."

The disgrace was immense.

Behind them.

"This kid’s speed, how can it be so fast!" Wu Shentong noticed something amiss.

He saw that Zhang Wei moved swiftly when he acted, his figure swift as lightning, surely not something an ordinary person could achieve.

Zhang Wei was actually a master!

"This kid, after leaving for 2 years, what on earth did he go through, his fighting power seems to have increased to an unimaginable extent!"

Uncle Fu analyzed the situation as well, and shook his head at Wu Shentong.

This meant: Your son is no match for Zhang Wei, don’t let him humiliate himself, come back quickly; there’s no need to play fair with this many of us around!

"Second brother, come back!"

Wu Shentong shouted, and at this moment, Wu Yuanzong had been bewildered by Zhang Wei’s slaps, he stumbled back when he heard the command.

"Dad, I, I was just careless for a moment, it was really just a moment of carelessness that gave that kid an advantage, I..."

"Just stop your nonsense, after today, no one will know that kid smacked you!"

Wu Shentong had lost the desire to deal with Wu Yuanzong, it was one thing to lose face, but another to not admit defeat.

"All of you, attack!"

Then with a wave of his big hand, he no longer intended to abide by the codes of martial arts with Zhang Wei, and directly ordered the people around him to overwhelm him.

"Hahaha!"

But just then, Zhang Wei burst out into loud laughter.

"Don’t you find something strange?"

Zhang Wei’s laughter made everyone halt in their tracks.

"Strange what?" Wu Shentong stepped forward aggressively and demanded.

"I anticipated that you would attack me, but why do you think I dared to come here alone, putting myself in danger’s path?"

"This..."

Wu Shentong and Uncle Fu looked at each other in disbelief.

This was indeed perplexing to them too; why would Zhang Wei, knowing he had offended Zhang Tianlong and the Five Great Families, still dare to come out and run around like this.

If you go to a crowded place, we wouldn’t dare to make a move, so why come to Lin Mansion, such an isolated place.

With no village in front and no shop behind, to reach the closest Sifang Gate Street, one must pass through a 200-meter front yard, followed by a 100-meter alley, which truly was an ideal spot for an ambush.

Zhang Wei, why would he dare to tread deep into this place, even anticipating an ambush, yet still boldly make his way here?

"Don’t you find that there’s something off about the smell here?"

Zhang Wei then pointed around, posing the question.

"What’s off?"

"Look, these houses have been uninhabited for a long time, not to mention the wild weeds growing within the gates, everywhere are snakes, worms, rats, and ants, even the river in front is full of mayflies, the whole area is stagnant water, so how come there is no foul smell at all?"

Wu Shentong and the others looked at each other, realizing they hadn’t considered this fact.

Surely a deserted yard like this and a scenic river that hadn’t been tended to for a long time should have some bad smell, shouldn’t it?

Not only that, upon taking a gentle whiff, they detected a faint fragrance in the air... Wait a minute!

Fragrance!

How could there be a scent?!

All around were only grasses, not a single flower, so how could there be such a fragrance?

"It seems, you have noticed, haven’t you?"

Zhang Wei snickered and pointed to his nose, "This smell isn’t bad, right? It’s a plant powder called ’Cartilage Fragrance.’ It smells fresh and pleasant, but as for its effects..."

Before he finished speaking, there came several "thud," "thud" sounds.

It turned out that the people standing on the rooftop eaves lost all strength in their bodies due to the powder and fell down one after another.

"You little bastard, you ambushed us..."

Wu Shentong also felt unwell in his body and immediately questioned Zhang Wei.

"Please, if you hadn’t shown up, you wouldn’t have fallen for it. Who ambushed who first? Could you please get your priorities straight?"

Zhang Wei spread his hands and then looked at Wu Shentong with a smile brimming on his face.

"Old ghost, you like to fight without honor the most, don’t you? I, Zhang Wei, have always agreed with you on this point. Honor is something only the naive abide by. Do you think I’m such a simple-minded person?"

"You..."

Wu Shentong found he could hardly muster any strength and his son, Wu Yuanzong, had already collapsed on the ground, nearly unconscious.

"This kid planned against us!"

Ah Fu beside him, weakened by old age, was affected by the powder even faster than Wu Shentong and was now half-kneeling on the ground.

And those subordinates, whose skills were not as formidable as the two men’s, all lay down due to the influence of the powder.

"That’s it? This is your trump card?"

Seeing his teammates had all passed out, Hua Chaoli scoffed coldly and stepped forward.

The powder was actually ineffective on him.

"Zhang Wei, if this is your trump card, then today you’re going to die right here!"

"Is that so? I’ve been looking forward to having a little comparison with you. Come on!"

Hua Chaoli and Zhang Wei stood opposite each other for a moment and then charged at each other simultaneously.

For a time, the large and small silhouettes instantly clashed.

The scene became chaotic with flying sand and rocks, swift movement, and shifting positions.

However, very soon, Zhang Wei was forced back by a punch, and he clutched his chest afterwards.

"The mere wind from a punch can injure my body?"

"Hahaha, this is the power bestowed on me by my brother, a breeze capable of shattering iron plates even with a casual swing of my hand!"

Hua Chaoli raised his arms high, looking extremely arrogant.

But then he turned to Zhang Wei, a curious look on his face, "But what I’m more curious about, how did you in just two years acquire such combat strength? Even the two old ghosts by my side seem unable to take you down in single combat!"

"Pretty much!" Zhang Wei agreed with this statement and nodded, "After all, two years ago, I thought Wu Shentong and Ah Fu were experts, but now I just think they’re old!"

"But you’re going to die today!"

Hua Chaoli assumed a stance, ready for the second round of charge.

But just as he was about to move, something unexpected happened.

His body was suddenly out of his control!

"How is this happening?"

"Don’t you find it strange, that I anticipated you would make a move, and even anticipated Hua Chaoli you would come, yet I still didn’t flee?"

Zhang Wei stepped closer to Hua Chaoli, who clenched his fists wanting to throw a punch but found he couldn’t move an inch.

"What’s the matter, why can’t I move?"

"It’s magnetic force. Look up and you’ll understand!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Chaoli looked up to see two hovering drones that had appeared above him at some unknown time.

Attached below the drones were two huge golden discs.

Hua Chaoli could feel an enormous pulling force emanating from the discs, and this was the reason he couldn’t move his body.

"Your body is all metal skeletons, right? Do you know why Wolverine is so afraid of Magneto in ’X-Men’? The answer is this!"

"How could I not foretell your attack? In fact, I calculated all of your moves!"

Zhang Wei snapped his fingers.

The discs attached to the two drones burst into a bright white light.

Hua Chaoli suddenly felt his whole body being pulled by the force, and he flew into the air.

Of course, this flight was beyond his control.

"So, Mr. Hua, bye-bye!"

Zhang Wei waved his hand, bidding farewell to the other man.

"Zhang Wei, I fuck your￥%...&#"

The latter was dragged away by the two drones amidst a furious and impotent roar.
