Chu Xisheng had exchanged for two of each of the first two cards; for the later “Smoke Cloud Sky Jump,” Chu Xisheng exchanged for three, all of which were stored in his storage column.

Just recently, Chu Xisheng came across the Storage Slot (Expansion 4), spending a full ten Blood Essence Points to expand the storage to 24 slots, finally having the space to accommodate these Extreme Move Cards.

Chu Xisheng was quite curious about the power of these Extreme Move Cards, how do they differ from the Character Cards he exchanged?

Actually, Chu Xisheng had also come across even more powerful Extreme Move Cards.

Such as Qin Muge’s Seventh Grade Extreme Move “Ten Thousand Gods Tribulation*Divine Fall,” and Lu Luanti’s Seventh Grade Extreme Move “Great Ming King Wheel * Peacock Slash.”

The problem is, only these three Extreme Move Cards that suit his training system and won’t arouse suspicion have been found so far.

He wondered if there would be a chance to use them in today’s battle against the bandits?

※※※※

The next morning, as expected, Chu Xisheng set out from the West Mountain Commander to Jiudao Dock.

He left two sub-forums to stay behind in the Ancient Market, five to remain in West Mountain Town, and mobilized a total of eighteen sub-forums, comprising 1,800 gang members.

However, by the time Chu Xisheng arrived at Ghost Cry Gorge, the number had swollen to six thousand five hundred.

Dan Family sent 1,200 troops, and other major households and local tyrants from West Mountain Town sent 3,500 troops.

It has to be said, when it comes to striking at the West Mountain bandits, the major households and local tyrants of West Mountain Town were willing to make an effort.

And by the time Chu Xisheng penetrated into West Mountain Path, his forces had swollen to nineteen thousand.

At this point, the hunters under his command reached a total of ten thousand and five hundred, comprising ten thousand and five hundred bowmen and swordsmen.

Besides them, there were also two thousand woodcutters, each carrying a large axe, with robust bodies dressed in simple bamboo armors, looking imposing as well.

Chu Xisheng then detached three thousand troops and handed them over to Li Shenshan to lead, ordering them to guard the West Mountain County Army camp and keep watch over the retreat route.

After spending half a day, everyone rushed to Jiudao Dock.

Jiudao Dock was not an easy fortress to storm; this riverside fortress was surrounded by mountains on three sides and bordered by water on one.

Apart from the three-mile wide Jiudao River Waterway to the west, which could allow dozens of large ships to pass at the same time, there were only three extremely steep mountain paths to the south and north.

The Jiudao River Waterway had already been blocked by the battleships assisted by the Iron Banner Gang, but Jiudao Dock had iron chains crossing the river, with forty Scorpion Crossbows, twenty Eight-Armed Crossbows, forty Catapults placed on the mountain paths on both sides to seal off the river surface.

This made the battleships of the Iron Banner Gang look on with regret, unable to attack.

The three mountain paths were also defended by five hundred elite bandits each, extremely well-guarded.

But Chu Xisheng didn’t plan to forcefully attack from these routes.

The reason he gathered so many troops under his command was actually a means to tame all the hunters and local tyrants, to accustom them to following the orders of West Mountain Hall.

It was also a show of force, to let these people understand the current strength of West Mountain Hall and not dare to harbor thoughts of rebellion.

As for attacking Jiudao Dock, they still need to rely on the mysterious masters under his command.

As the sixteen thousand men set up their formation at the foot of the mountain, Chu Xisheng summoned all the sorcerers under his command.

In the recent month, Chu Xisheng had also employed three sorcerers of the Lower Seventh Rank at great cost, while the number of Eighth Rank sorcerers had increased to thirty-two.

Most of them are adept at two types of Magic—Fog Creation and Smoke Creation.

“Begin at once!”

Chu Xisheng squinted his eyes looking up: “Within one hour, the smoke must cover at least half of Jiudao Dock.”

Just as Luanyi was eagerly rubbing his hands and Chu Yunyun covertly grasped the Short Saber hidden in her sleeve, a voice nearby interrupted: “Manor Master, please wait a moment!”

Chu Xisheng raised his eyebrows slightly, looking towards the source of the voice: “Dan Manor Master, may I ask what advice you have?”

The one who spoke to interrupt was the Dan Manor Master, Dan Chiling.

Dan Chiling, with a calm expression, gave a fist salute: “Manor Master, speaking of Fog Creation, my Dan Family also fosters several sorcerers who are proficient in magic of clouds and smoke.

Perhaps they can join in as well.”

Hearing this, Chu Xisheng laughed and immediately raised his hand: “Agreed!”

—Since the fog is being created, why not make it as dense as possible, allowing everyone to perform comfortably.

The sorcerers of the Dan Family are indeed very powerful.

Chu Xisheng originally estimated that these fifty-odd sorcerers could cover part of Jiudao Dock with smoke in half the time, and that would already be quite impressive.

After all, Jiudao Dock had recently recruited some sorcerers and would definitely employ wind to counteract.

But to his surprise, in just 15 minutes, the white smoke rising from below had already enveloped almost half of the battlefield.

At this time inside Jiudao Dock, the new Dock Master of Jiudao Dock, Xii Quan, looking at the white smoke spreading before him, let out a resigned sigh: “Retreat!

Notify everyone to withdraw to the north.

If they’re lucky enough, there might be a chance to escape.”

No sooner had he said “retreat” than he turned and headed towards the north.

“Retreating just like that?” That was a middle-aged man about forty years old, dressed in Heavy Armor.

He was the former second-in-command of Jiudao Dock.

Hurriedly following Xii Quan’s steps, he asked, “We have three thousand people after all!

And we have natural defensive advantages, is it really—”

He wanted to say, is it too much like being scared off?

Xii Quan gave the second-in-command a dismissive look.

He couldn’t be bothered to answer, thinking now was not the time to wait for those two Fifth Grade half-demons to sneak over and beat them alive.

The natural defenses of Jiudao Dock were nothing to these two Fifth Grade masters.

Moreover, West Mountain Hall had recently rallied quite a few masters, with over a dozen at the Seventh Rank.

They had to be wary of the Heluo Fish Zombie, with combat strength close to Fifth Grade, emerging from the water.

Their battleships could hold back the battleships of the Iron Banner Gang, but not the Heluo Fish Zombie.

Crucially, the Sheen Family and Shangguan Family were not willing to fight to the death with West Mountain Hall in Jiudao Dock, and among the Fifth Rank, only he, Xii Quan, was available.

So it was best to flee as early as possible—

What Xii Quan didn’t know at this time was that in the midst of the remarkable military array on the mountain road of Jiudao Dock, Chu Xisheng had received a Qiankun Flying Sword.

As he took a letter from the tail of the Flying Sword, his pupils immediately narrowed.

This was a letter from the Headquarters of the Iron Banner Gang, informing him that the Iron Madman’s chosen moment for Promotion was today!
