"What did you say? People from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall are attacking?"
"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
Upon hearing the report from his subordinate, Eugene was momentarily stunned, feeling that the subordinate was simply joking.
He had only killed six ordinary members of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, so how could they possibly launch a direct attack?
It's important to know that their Two-Headed Gang is not like the declining Iron Heart Gang.
They have more than eight thousand members, with over a thousand quasi-martial artists, and even three who have reached the Entering the Micro stage.
Although the entire gang has only his father, Nissen Walker, as a martial artist, he is a genuine middle-tier martial artist. Their power ranking in the Red Moon Commerce is much higher than the Iron Heart Gang's, ranking among the top 300 forces with quite a few B2 level armors, which is incomparable to the Iron Heart Gang.
Now that the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall has already started a war with the four major forces, how could they possibly come to provoke the Two-Headed Gang?
"Young Master, this is true. They have sent over a hundred people charging directly at our current base, and everyone below is trying to fend them off," reported the subordinate who was just an intermediate apprentice.
"More than a hundred people dare to come and attack our Two-Headed Gang; are you sure you're not mistaken? Not a thousand people?" Eugene felt like the subordinate in front of him was messing with him.
For more than a hundred people to come to their Two-Headed Gang's HQ is akin to seeking death. Even if the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall wanted to make a statement for appearance's sake, they wouldn't send so few people.
Not to mention such a small number of people, how could they cause such a commotion?
It's important to know that his cultivation room is on the second underground floor of the HQ, and without someone breaking into the building, such a disturbance couldn't be caused.
And to get into the building, there are layers of guards outside with over a thousand people, plus four extreme quasi-martial artists in B2 level battle armor guarding the main entrance, making it impossible for even someone in B2 level armor to break in.
"Young Master, this is true," said the slightly frightened subordinate, "though the number from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is small, there are six martial artist-level experts among them. They're wearing B1 level battle armor and are basically defeating a quasi-martial artist in A6 level battle armor with a single blow. Only the four elders in B2 level armor can barely put up a fight..."
"Six martial artists? How is that possible?" Eugene's mind blanked upon hearing this, "Has the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall gone mad? All I did was eliminate six of their subordinates. Do they really need to go this far with the Two-Headed Gang?!"
Martial artists are the dream of countless quasi-martial artists in the suburbs. Even with the full support of suburban gang resources to learn a middle-tier martial artist training technique, he only has a 60-70% chance of becoming a martial artist.
And among the various suburban forces, more than half do not have a martial artist present. Any suburban force with a martial artist present can easily rank in the mid-tier, and if there are two martial artists, they generally rank among the top-tier.
The Iron Heart Gang's mid-tier status is only due to its previous long-term depletion against a top-tier force, consuming a lot of combat resources; otherwise, the Iron Heart Gang's overall strength wouldn't be much inferior to the Phosphorus Fire Gang.
Now the various suburban forces dread the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall because of the Iron Heart Gang battle; the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall has openly declared four martial artists, in addition to Hall Master Lin Qi's exceptional potential.
As long as Lin Qi's four martial artists do not fall, the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is destined to become a dominant power in the suburbs, not much less than the Baelon Clan.
Yet now the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall has deployed six martial artists; it's practically a joke.
"Young Master, what should we do now? Those six martial artists are already on their way, and the four elders can't hold out much longer," the anxious intermediate apprentice inquired.
When six initial-stage martial artists in B1 level armor act together, the threat is far from simple arithmetic.
Such a force can't be opposed by an ordinary power, especially in a city where eliminating it requires at least one or two thousand fully armed elites.
If it comes to killing members of any force, except for the top ten gangs and families, no suburban gang or family can stop it.
"Trying to kill me won't be so easy." Although Eugene was a bit panicked, he calmly ordered, "Immediately notify all elders nearby to return to the base for support. Every other person at the base should engage in guerilla tactics. Stall as long as possible; once the four honorary elders return, we'll encircle them together!"
While six martial artists are indeed terrifying, the Two-Headed Gang is not without its counterforces. In a war of attrition, the Two-Headed Gang could wear down not just six, but even sixteen martial artists.
In situations where martial artists are not allowed to engage in direct combat within a city, the greatest threat martial artists pose is a decapitation strike, aimed at eliminating key figures in opposition forces.
He had just killed six people from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, and the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall immediately sent six martial artists to attack him, clearly intending to eliminate him and demonstrate to the various major forces within the city.
All he could do was wait for the four honorary elders at the entering the micro realm to return.
Although the four honorary elders at the entering the micro realm were only extreme quasi-martial artists, their own strength was such that even his father had to show respect. Because wearing B2 level battle armor, their strength was not much inferior to that of middle-tier martial artists wearing B2 level armor.
As long as these four were present, blocking the attacks from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall wasn't a major problem.
The Two-Headed Gang Building, on the first-floor hall resembling a super large shopping mall.
A large number of Two-Headed Gang lizardmen, wielding compound bows of A6 level and above, continuously harassed the six people led by Luo Wushang who had rushed into the building, causing them to feel significant pressure.
Unlike humans, these lizardmen could easily climb, and given the shopping mall design of the building, it was practically the best battlefield for lizardmen. They could easily move and shoot on the walls, and without the ability to fly, killing each lizardman required quite a bit of effort.
Especially since the arrows shot by these lizardmen included B2 level and above arrows, even if shot with power below a martial artist's strength, they could easily damage B1 level battle armor. Under the rain of arrows, it became much more difficult to kill extreme quasi-martial artists wearing B2 level battle armor.
"Truly deserving of a hidden storyline, the strategy difficulty is indeed not ordinary," Fang Zhen said with a wry smile after using Starfire to repel an extreme quasi-martial artist wearing B2 level battle armor, while looking at the arrows raining from all directions.
He initially thought that the six martial artists, wearing B1 level battle armor, could rampage through the team dungeon, but unexpectedly, the strategy difficulty of the Two-Headed Gang was not comparable to that of the Iron Heart Gang.
With the power boost from the B1 level battle armor, any casual strike from them exerted over two thousand strength, and using martial arts techniques could even break through to five or six thousand, but the lizardmen wearing B2 level battle armor were equally formidable.
Without using the super electromagnetic cannon, they could only repel and injure these lizardmen. Every time they tried to finish them off, a barrage of arrows would force them back, making it impossible to kill these lizardmen in B2 level battle armor in a short time.
Whenever they attempted to manipulate the power to control the arrows for a shot, these lizardmen would flee far away, especially those in B2 level battle armor who could instantly move fifty meters away, zigzagging on the walls, making it difficult to hit them with a hand-crafted super electromagnetic cannon due to its lack of accuracy.
The combat techniques were entirely different from the Iron Heart Gang. If the Iron Heart Gang was about active attacks, then the Two-Headed Gang specialized in skirmishes, focusing on attrition.
On the entire battlefield, Ye Qinglu was the most comfortable, expertly controlling twelve B2 level longswords, fully utilizing the agility of skirmishing. Even though the lizardmen could climb high and move low, in front of the B2 level longswords, they became mobile targets, easily taken down.
Occasionally seizing an opportunity, a single Thunder Spear could directly take down a lizardman in B2 level battle armor.
In comparison, the other five combined hadn't killed as many as Ye Qinglu alone.
"It doesn't matter, after all, our goal is to stall for time," Luo Wushang said indifferently, even using the lizardmen to practice Dark Light Step, pursuing those climbing on the walls.
"Indeed." Fang Zhen nodded, also relaxing, beginning to mimic Luo Wushang and practice Reverse Star Step.
After becoming martial artists, their main focus was on enhancing their associated martial arts techniques to the seventh rank. In entry-level circumstances, each use had significant side effects, causing stabbing pain throughout the body, and temporarily paralyzing certain parts, making it unsuitable for battles between martial artists.
But now, facing a bunch of monsters below martial artist level, they had no such concerns. With extraordinary reaction speed, the threat from these monsters' attacks wasn't significant, allowing them to use them for practical martial arts exercises, improving their proficiency in the techniques.
"It's really strange, weren't these Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall martial artists coming for me?" Eugene, underground, stared at the surveillance monitors showing the destructive actions of Luo Wushang's group, full of confusion.
Originally, he thought the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall was targeting him, but after Luo Wushang's group stormed the building, they didn't rush downstairs immediately. Instead, they were killing Two-Headed Gang members on the first floor, leaving Eugene puzzled about what the people from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall intended to do.
"Six martial artists wanting to kill thousands of our Two-Headed Gang is simply a dream."
Meanwhile, in the Two-Headed Gang Building, Yiyi and over twenty other quasi-martial artists made their way to the rooftop. Although several top-level members of the Two-Headed Gang attempted to block their path along the way, they were significantly fewer compared to those in the first-floor hall.
This allowed them to directly find Nissen Walker, who had been resting at the top most floor of the Two-Headed Gang.
At this moment, Nissen Walker was still in shock, looking at Yiyi and others who had stormed in, his mind full of confusion and doubt, not understanding what madness the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall was unleashing.
His son had only killed six ordinary subordinates of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, so if they wanted an explanation, he was willing to provide one. He even had a video of the fight with Eugene ready.
But now, the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall directly attacked them, and even sent six initial stage martial artists along, which was simply insane.
