Chapter 417: Chapter 404: The Power of One Sword_3

Dongfang Wuxin’s face turned ashen with fury. Having mustered a sizable force only to have it entirely obliterated, even the powerful aide Zhou Zitong had been killed.

The outcome was difficult for him to accept, and at the same time, it made him realize an important issue.

"If we continue to act in this manner, our strength will be steadily weakened, which is extremely bad for us. Hence, we only have one path ahead."

Dongfang Wuxin gritted his teeth, the viciousness in his eyes growing more intense.

"Young Master, do you mean to say, we should launch a full-scale attack?"

Someone inquired.

"That’s right," Dongfang Wuxin said solemnly. "We can’t keep sending people out one by one. This Long Chen is not to be underestimated; he’s quite the figure. Therefore, we shall all move together, come out in full force for a decisive battle to the death."

"Young Master, but Long Chen, with a single sword strike, killed thousands. His cultivation is probably..."

Someone hesitated to finish their sentence, visibly anxious.

Dongfang Wuxin immediately rebuked, "So what’s so great about that? Killing a few thousand ordinary people with one sword strike is nothing to be afraid of. I can do that too. In the eyes of a powerful cultivator, a few thousand mortals are no different from a few thousand ants. A mere mortal can kill thousands of ants with a single fire; don’t you understand this logic?"

"Young Master speaks wisely."

"Then we, will follow the Young Master’s lead."

"Young Master, please give the order, to resolve this Long Chen matter sooner rather than later."

People started speaking one after another.

Dongfang Wuxin said sternly, "We’ll move at midnight, striving to take him down in one fell swoop. We cannot disappoint my master. For now, dispatch a few hundred people to clean up the corpses outside the Great Xia Mansion. Avoid conflict with the Great Xia Mansion, clear them out with a scared expression to confuse them, making them believe we wouldn’t dare provoke them anytime soon. With that, our midnight surprise attack will catch them off guard and have unexpected effects."

"Young Master, I worry that if we send people to clean up, they might also be killed?"

An elder spoke up, sounding worried.

"No, rest assured," Dongfang Wuxin said. "You should be clear about whom Great Xia Mansion represents. As long as there’s no provocation, Long Chen definitely will not make a move. Let’s make preparations and discuss. As long as we can kill Long Chen, any method is permissible."

...

Soon after, a few hundred people arrived outside the Great Xia Mansion, bringing with them a dozen large trucks. They cleaned up outside the Great Xia Mansion thoroughly.

Long Chen made no move and remained calm.

Seeing this, Xia Ling and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems they won’t attack us for quite some time."

Xia Ling spoke softly.

"On the contrary," Long Chen said. "I have a premonition that they will launch a surprise attack tonight."

"Why?" Xia Ling didn’t understand. "Right now, their cleaning outside is an act of submission. If they are showing weakness... No, to feign weakness before the enemy is to make us lower our guard."

Xia Ling suddenly came to a realization.

"Do you understand now?" Long Chen smiled. "So tonight will be the final battle. Only after this can we resolve this turmoil. Of course, to fully settle this, we must also deal with the Sword Master from the South. Otherwise, he will continue to cause trouble. Sigh, it feels like I have an endless list of chores, such a headache."

"Husband, tonight will be a bloody battle, aren’t you worried?"

Zhao Churan said nervously, clutching Long Chen’s hand.

Long Chen patted Zhao Churan’s head, comforting her with a smile, "Don’t be afraid. It’s just a rabble, they’re not worth fearing. Husband will take care of it. Don’t sleep tonight. Go into a larger room, prepare the bath water, and after I’ve dealt with those people, I’ll come for a bath. Then we, will create life together."
