Chapter 273 - 273 261 Zen Master Escapes

Chapter 273: Chapter 261: Zen Master Escapes Chapter 273: Chapter 261: Zen Master Escapes The Zen Master has arrived, with the disciples following behind. They claim, “The Zen Master has also arrived.”

Ye Chen asks, “Why don’t I see Shen Tian?”

Wei Sisan suggests, “It seems that the Zen Master is quite cautious.”

“He has left Shen Tian outside.”

“Exactly, in case anything happens, he still has a way out.”

Suddenly, dense smoke billows out, halting the people in front for a moment.

Spotting this, Wei Sisan knows this is not a signal from the New City Sect. Seeing that these people are preparing to retreat, he quickly orders, “Release the Beast Type!”

Ye Chen asks with confusion, “Aren’t we supposed to wait a bit longer?”

“It seems someone has discovered our ambush; we cannot let them escape.”

Ye Chen immediately understands, and quickly commands the ambushing troops to strike, charging towards the Zen Master and his party.

There are torches and dense smoke everywhere.

Wei Sisan yells, “Ye Chen, you deal with the Zen Master.”

“Understood.” Ye Chen murmurs, contemplating if the city houses any of the Zen Master’s men, concluding it must be the case.

They charge out immediately. Although the Zen Master has received the ambush signal, his retreat is not easy as he’s already deep inside the trap.

Yang Jing comments, “Zen Master, we seem to be surrounded.”

“I know,” the Zen Master responds impatiently, getting anxious. As Wei Sisan swiftly attacks from behind and Ming Qi’s men flank from the rear, the six or seven hundred people the Zen Master has brought with him are quickly surrounded.

Wei Sisan shouts, “Whether or not we can wipe them out and force them to retreat from the Wastelands depends on this moment.”

Although the Zen Master has noticed the danger, he fails to react in time and suddenly finds himself under siege.

Amid the chaos, roars of mutant beasts and fire dragons shake the battlefront. Some disciples continue to release smoke, prompting Ye Chen to shout, “Stop releasing smoke, you’ll choke our own men. Fight!”

“We need to disorient them.”

“If you set off any more smoke, I will get lost. Hurry up and attack them; stop releasing smoke or they’ll use it to escape.”

His subordinates find Ye Chen’s advice reasonable.

Ye Chen charges at the Zen Master, releasing two streaks of energy while uttering, “You want to use fire dragons to burn me? I’ll let you taste what it’s like to be burned. Attack!”

At this point, the Zen Master’s group is in disarray, mired in bloodshed.

Shen Tian, outside the fray, is initially in disbelief upon receiving the first ambush signal. As he’s only just entered, how could there be an ambush?

He quickly sends someone to investigate, but inside, the heavy smoke has made it impossible to discern the situation. Before his men return, a second distress signal arrives.

A disciple nearby confirms, “Yes, it’s our Zen Master’s distress signal.”

By then, the person sent out to investigate returns and reports, “The Zen Master and his group have been ambushed by the disciples of the New City Sect.”

“What!” Shen Tian suddenly realizes the truth.

The disciples behind him ask, “Shen Tian, what should we do?”

“What else can we do? We must find a way to rescue them. That goes without saying,” says Shen Tian.

“But they are surrounded. How can we rescue them?”

“Hey, stop looking at me. We should all brainstorm. Think, think together,” Shen Tian says, growing anxious.

“Without further ado, we should charge in.”

Jue Ming, hearing this, retorts, “That will not work. If we charge in recklessly, we might also get caught in the encirclement.”

“Yes, the more flustered we are now, the less useful we are. If we’re not careful, we’ll all end up trapped in the enclosure.”

The disciples grow anxious, unsure of what action to take next. They know the Zen Master is surrounded. If they don’t act soon, the Zen Master will be in danger.

“I think we can take advantage of the smoke. Once the smoke dissipates, we can rush in and rescue them.”

Meng Xiuluo, aware of the Zen Master’s dire situation, sees Xiang Yi become increasingly anxious. She never expected this to be a trap laid by the New City Sect. She murmurs in anger, “This is too despicable. We must rush over and rescue them.”

Meng Xiuluo raises his hand, aware that their small group charging in won’t make a significant impact. He suggests, “Even if we charge in, we won’t make much difference.”

Xiang Yi argues, “But we can’t just stand by and do nothing.”

“Who came up with this terrible idea? Once I find out, I’ll skin them alive,” exclaims Meng Xiuluo. Suddenly, an idea pops into his mind. He orders, “Start a fire.”

“Start a fire?”

“Yes.” He pulls out a map and continues, “These locations are inhabited. Start a fire, the bigger the better—we need to cause chaos inside the city, only then will they get a chance to escape.”

Xiang Yi immediately understands and replies, “Got it, leave this task to me.”

“After starting the fire and releasing the monsters, hide yourselves. I’ll find you later.”

“Understood, be careful.”

News of a fire reaches them; some people are already trapped in it.

Someone promptly reports to Wei Sisan that there are increasing fire outbreaks, even reaching the rear of the city. How is this possible?

A disciple said: “Isn’t it that Zen Master’s people are causing chaos in the city?”

Ming Qi said: “Indeed, it must be them.”

A disciple said: “We can’t just let them carry on, can we?”

Someone suggested: “Let’s organize the civilians in the city to help put out the fire.”

Before they finished speaking, there were reports of monsters appearing.

Ming Qi stated: “They surely won’t be able to handle monsters.”

Wei Sisan shouted: “You quickly organize a team to help, remember, save the people first.”

“Understood.”

All of a sudden, more fires started in the city.

Shen Tian, unable to think of a better solution, knew he couldn’t wait any longer. He shouted, “Fine, release heavy smoke, as much as possible. It’s better for everyone to grapple in the dark together than us alone in it.”

Jue Ming nodded in response.

Shen Tian said, “Let’s focus on rescuing them first.”

Jue Ming quickly went to make arrangements.

Shen Tian also asked, “Do we still have ‘gurulu’?”

“Yes.” One of the subordinates responded, “However, they’ve already thought up a countermeasure.”

“Regardless, they will need to send someone to implement it. For now, every moment we can buy counts. Send any monster we have, rescue Zen Master and his disciples before anything else.”

Everyone heeded Shen Tian’s words. Shen Tian gave a detailed analysis and swiftly took action to rescue the Zen Master.

Ye Chen had been fighting with the Zen Master for nearly an hour. He shouted, “Zen Master, why don’t you surrender?”

“Surrender? You are asking me to surrender?”

A lot of black smoke suddenly poured in at this moment, becoming denser and denser, it was suffocating.

Ye Chen could barely see clearly anymore.

Someone yelled, “Damn it, are they trying to smoke us to death in here?”

The thick smoke made it hard to breathe, and coughing could be heard everywhere.

Both sides were in confusion, especially as more fires broke out behind them. It was impossible to tell which direction was which.

Ye Chen was also having a hard time. He couldn’t even find Zen Master now. If things went wrong, he himself could suffocate in there.

All he could make out were the sounds of killing and shouting in front of him. Fireballs were flying everywhere, as if the Wasteland City had suddenly become a raging volcano.

Before long, the sound of killing was heard from another side.

The re-enforcements came swiftly. Li Mo and his men quickly reacted and said in panic, “No, they might be planning to rescue Zen Master.”

Only half an hour more was needed to eliminate them all.

Shen Tian charged in and found Zen Master. He ordered his men to guard the exits, yelling, “Don’t let them surround us again, we’ll be out soon.”

Seeing Shen Tian burst in, the Zen Master was taken by surprise.

Shen Tian said, “Zen Master, let’s go, we can’t stay here. If we linger, we will be surrounded again.”

Upon hearing this, Zen Master nodded. Yang Jing, who was panicking, was relieved to see Shen Tian hadn’t abandoned them. He thought he was going to die in there. To his surprise, Shen Tian rushed in. He hurriedly gathered his people and broke out with Shen Tian.

At this point, Wei Sisan really wanted to surround them again, but the situation was chaotic. There was no time to organize effectively. The area was filled with black smoke and raging fires. His disciples were also becoming fatigued.

Zen Master quickly led a small group of people and broke out of the encirclement. It was not easy to surround them again. After all, they were short staffed. If only there were a few hundred more men, the situation would’ve been different.

Still, some people escaped with Zen Master. It was a pity they couldn’t annihilate them all at once.

Jiang Zhuge hurried over from another side, but Zen Master had already escaped with Shen Tian.

Kong Sha said, “We should chase them.”

Wei Sisan, however, said, “Don’t chase a desperate foe.” He feared an ambush since Zen Master had already escaped. Attempting to capture him would be challenging.

Only then did Kong Sha stop. They had wiped out over 600 of their enemy, which was a significant victory. Those who escaped had already left the city and were impossible to catch now.

Behind them, over a dozen fires were still burning fiercely. Even though night had fallen, they still had to put out the remaining fires. At that moment, several giant beasts were running wild in the city.

Wei Sisan said, “It’s getting dark, let’s stop the chase.”

Kong Sha finally stood down.

Wei Sisan said, “Jiang Zhuge, you take charge and start cleaning up.”

“Okay.”

“Kong Sha, you are responsible for extinguishing the fire and clearing the beasts that have entered the Wasteland City.”

Kong Sha also left.

“You are responsible for the treatment of the injured.” Wei Sisan quickly made arrangements.

The smoke slowly dissipated, and night fell quickly.
