Liu Zhen didnât say anything more but instead took out a transmission formation and sent a message back to the Blood Knife Gang. After that, he waved his hand, then a few cultivators who came with him rushed to the direction pointed by Zhao Hai. They wanted to confirm the number of enemies first before charging over.
Zhao Hai and his group didnât participate in the action, nor did Liu Zhen. They just stood in place. Although Liu Zhen maintained a stoic expression with closed eyes, the killing aura that he was emitting was getting stronger and stronger.
Liu Zhen was the Blood Knife Gangâs Battle Hall Master. His specific role was dealing with the gangâs external enemies. People who dared attack the gangâs caravan were naturally the gangâs foes. Liu Zhenâs reputation in Split River City was quite good. Now, his caravan has been attacked. It was no wonder that he has a strong killing intent.
Zhao Hai was a god of killing, so naturally he noticed Liu Zhenâs aura. However, he didnât say anything. Liu Zhen was already treating him well. Although Liu Zhen had an agenda, he still offered help to Zhao Hai. Moreover, Zhao Hai was happy to remove any suspicion that might be pinned on him.
Moreover, helping the Blood Knife Gang would reduce any suspicions on Zhao Hai that he was a Ghost Cultivator. It must be known that most spies wouldnât act high-profile. Zhao Haiâs actions might surprise people, but it wouldnât make them suspicious of him.
The group didnât wait for a long time. In half an hour, the sound of fighting could be heard. Hearing this, Zhao Haiâs expression changed. Liu Zhen also opened his eyes and said, âTrash. I only asked them to check, but they exposed themselves.â
As Liu Zhen said this, a large number of Blood Knife Gang cultivators appeared in the surroundings.
At this time, there was another flash of white light, and more than 20 cultivators appeared. Although the group was fewer than Liu Zhenâs group, the strength they possessed couldnât be underestimated. The strongest of them has reached the Teleportation Stage.
In front of the new group was an old man with gray hair. Despite his age, he was dressed well with his warrior clothing. He didnât look tacky at all. On the contrary, he looked graceful and extraordinary.
Seeing the old man, Liu Zhen couldnât help but stare. Then he immediately walked forward and bowed, âI have seen the Gang Master. Gang Master, why did you come personally?â
The old man was the Blood Knife Gangâs Leader, Wang Da. Wang Da nodded and said, âHow could I not come when a huge matter is happening. Moreover, I just broke through to the Teleportation Stage, I want to find people to test my strength.â
Liu Zhen smiled faintly, then he gestured his hand towards Zhao Hai and said, âGang Master, this is my friend Zhao Ling. If it werenât for him, we wouldnât have been aware of this matter.â
Zhao Hai cupped his fist and said, âI have seen Gang Master.â
Wang Da nodded, âLet this old man thank you, Little Friend. Wang Da will remember this favor. If Little Friend needs something in the future, donât hesitate to approach the Blood Knife Gang.
Zhao Hai quickly replied, âThank you very much, Gang Master.â
Wang Da nodded, then his pupils narrowed as he looked in another direction. Then he said, âHave each team get ready. This old man wants to see who dares to attack my Blood Knife Gang.â After he said that, the old man turned his hand and took out a knife. The knife was three feet long but was quite thin. What was strange about the knife was that although it was snow white, its sharp edge was blood red.
Zhao Hai now knew the Blood Knife Gangâs origin. It seems like the gang was inseparable from this knife. Wang Da held his blood knife in his hand and led everyone forward to fight.
Zhao Hai, Ma Long, and Liu Cai followed behind the Blood Knife Gang. They also took their weapons out. The techniques they used could be seen as belonging to the Demonic Faction and not from Ghost Cultivation. Naturally, they werenât afraid of joining the fight. It was also for this reason that they were chosen to go to the True Spirit Realm.
The three of them were already involved in this matter, so they canât just quit. Moreover, they were attacked, so they couldnât just let their attackers off. They also need to vent their anger.
Before long, the group arrived at the scene of fighting. In the forest, the group from the Blood Knife Gang were being attacked by cultivators dressed in black and were masked.
Seeing this, the rest from the Blood Knife Gang were immediately enraged. Wang Da waved his blood knife and shouted, âKill!â
Despite sending an order, Wang Da didnât attack, nor did Liu Zhen. Liu Zhen was an Earth Monarch while Wang Da was a Teleportation Stage cultivator. Their enemies were only at the Soul Fusion Stage, so there was no need for them to attack. R
Meanwhile, Zhao Hai and his group joined the fight. Although Zhao Hai and the others didnât use their full strength, their combat prowess was still formidable. Needless to say, Zhao Hai only used a tenth of his strength. Meanwhile, Ma Long and Liu Cai werenât simple people. They were rogue cultivators that became disciples of the Battle Corpse Sect, this was enough proof of their ability. Therefore, when the three made their move, the attackers immediately suffered heavy losses.
The strength of the three naturally attracted the attention of the Blood Knife Gang and the masked men. Wang Dan and Liu Zhenâs faces showed a surprised expression when they saw Zhao Hai and the others. It must be known that Zhao Hai and the others were only at the Soul Fusion Stage, but the fighting strength they showed was beyond their level.
Seeing Zhao Hai and the others killing another three Soul Fusion cultivators, Wang Da couldnât help but turn to Liu Zhen and said, âItâs been a few days since you met them. Did you investigate their background?â
Liu Zhen nodded and said, âI made a thorough investigation. They belong to a declining cultivator clan. The reason they came out was to get money and resources for their clan. Because of this, they are focused on going to Demonheart City and donât want to stay in Split River City.â
Wang Da nodded, âTheir combat strength isnât weak. I could see that they are experienced combatants. If theyâre placed in those sects, they would have been popular a long time ago. They want to find an opportunity in Demonheart City, maybe even join the Forbidden Path Sect. You did a good job. No matter what, befriending them will be very beneficial to the Blood Knife Gang.â
Liu Zhen nodded, âIt seems like I made the right decision to befriend them. Although they didnât join our Blood Knife Gang, they already gave us a lot of help. As long as we have a connection to them, our gang will benefit if they develop in the future.â
Wang Da smiled faintly and said, âYouâre thinking too far. But thatâs also good. Youâve learned a lot, not like before. Haha. Oh, someone is coming. Letâs see who wants to attack our Blood Knife Gang.
Liu Zhen also felt a few strong cultivators heading over. The killing aura on Liu Zhenâs face intensified even more. Wang Dan also tightened his grip on his blood knife.
Before long, large numbers of cultivators appeared in the forest. Although their clothes varied, their faces were all covered. Most importantly, each of them had formidable strength. All of them were Earth Monarchs, and there were 30 of them.
The Blood Knife Gang only had around 20 Earth Monarchs. If they were competing on numbers alone, the Blood Knife would be at a disadvantage.
However, in addition to its domineering strength, the reason the Blood Knife Gang could dominate Split River City was because they have a fierce spirit that the other gangs didnât have. The members of the Blood Knife Gang rarely retreated without a fight. Even if they knew that they could be defeated, they would fight to the death.
Because of this, instead of retreating, the Earth Monarchs of the Blood Knife Gang roared and attacked. Liu Zhen also made his move and killed his way towards the masked attackers. Only Wang Da was left behind. Wang Da wants to see if the other party has a Teleportation Stage expert. If there were, then he would make a move.
The two sides quickly clashed. Although the Blood Knife Gang suffered from numerical disadvantage, their dauntless spirit suppressed the other party. The masked attackers immediately found that they were forced into a stalemate.
At this time, another group of cultivators appeared from the forest. All of them were from the Blood Knife Gang, but this group was mostly wounded. They were the Blood Knife Gang members who were escorting the caravan. They havenât been wiped out and managed to survive.
The Blood Knife Gang members fought their way through the forest, so their eyes were red with killing intent. Along with their arrival, another group of masked individuals also joined the fight.
Naturally, these people were those who surrounded the caravan. In other words, the battle didnât stop, they just joined the two battles into one.
With the arrival of these cultivators, the disadvantage of the Blood Knife Gang grew even more. However, Wang Da still didnât move. He even hid himself to see if more people would arrive.
Others might be unaware, but Zhao Hai was well aware that nobody else was coming. These cultivators were the only people attacking the Blood Knife Gang. Although the Blood Knife Gang didnât send as many people to help, they still numbered around 200. With the enemy only around 300, the attackers didnât have enough numbers to completely overwhelm the Blood Knife Gang.
