Chapter 1661 - 1747: The Art of Hospitality
"Little Pheasant, you keep saying that you’re trying to avoid the sandstorm. Fine, I’m willing to believe you, and I’m willing to let you in. Huaxia has had a good tradition since ancient times, but there’s also a saying in Huaxia: it’s best not to have the desire to harm others, but it’s also best not to be defenseless against those who would. Have you ever heard of this phrase?"Su Xuan looked at Brother Pheasant, speaking seriously.
"..." Brother Pheasant was at a loss for words. He was speechless. Even without Su Xuan spelling it out, he already knew this kid wouldn’t be that simple.
"If you just handcuff and shackle your men, then I can trust you. Of course, I can also let you in. What do you think?"
Su Xuan said with a faint smile.
"You..."
Brother Pheasant was almost spitting blood from anger. Damn, how could this guy say such things? It sounded like a trap. If they went in, there was no way they would be left alive. They had discovered the great secret of the Heavenly Gang Tomb Seed this time, so they couldn’t let others find out.
"Aren’t you being too despicable? Is this your Huaxia way of hospitality?"
When he saw Su Xuan, he was still very angry. In his view, this Jia Hui was too shameless. He wasn’t an idiot. If he agreed just like that, wouldn’t he be too foolish?
"Hmph, don’t be too self-righteous. Remember, you’re not a guest now, and when you’re seeking help, you should have the stance of someone seeking help. Two choices: either fight your way in, or cuff yourselves, and I’ll let you in!"
Su Xuan said dominantly. As Su Xuan finished speaking, Brother Pheasant’s whiskers almost stood up in anger. He looked at Di Lingtian and asked.
"Di Lingtian, think of something quickly. I want him dead!"
Di Lingtian rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, damn it, if I were so capable, would I have been treated so miserably by him that day? Even he was secretly impressed by Su Xuan’s combat strength. It was truly impressive. He hadn’t imagined Su Xuan would be this formidable. His arrows never missed. Just this move alone could use divine punishment to suppress them. Thinking of this, he felt a deep sense of hurt within.
"We originally have siege ladders, but the problem now is our people can’t get close. Even with ladders, it’s still a big problem!"
Di Lingtian said helplessly. As an heir of the Tomb Attacking Sect, their weapons were actually quite advanced, and the siege ladder was a powerful siege artifact. But now the issue is they can’t even open the mirror, so no ladder can work for them.
"Damn... Do we have bows and arrows?"
Looking at Di Lingtian, Lord Pheasant was almost spitting blood. To be honest, he hadn’t expected bows and arrows to be this powerful. For a moment, Di Lingtian even thought even with a gun, it might not have such an effect.
"... That’s outdated stuff. Who would use that? But we have crossbows!"
"What use are crossbows?!"
Lord Pheasant said disdainfully. He naturally knew the effect of crossbows was weak. The principle was quite simple: he knew that with the blessing of Dark Strength, arrows released immense power. But crossbows were only fixed at a certain range.
"Lord Pheasant, I’m organizing another attack. What do you think?"
One of Lord Pheasant’s men said earnestly.
"It’s useless. With such a high wall, even if you reach the wall under these circumstances, as long as he’s there, it’s tough to get in. I thought this kid was a smart tactician, but after yesterday’s incident, I found out his Kung Fu is excellent. In the combat power of such a master, even if you can climb over the wall, without deploying the Earth Damp 24, you’ll still die!"
Lord Pheasant said seriously, knowing full well that this guy was too powerful. Unless they could deploy Earth Damp 24, they were no match for Su Xuan.
After all, Su Xuan demonstrated the full power of Earth Damp 24 in real combat, unleashing a devastating sword attack.
"Do we just retreat like this?"
In that moment, he was deeply unwilling. How could he be willing? Tomorrow was the last day. Based on the judgment, if by 5 am tomorrow they couldn’t enter the Dragon Gate Inn, they would all fall into infinite crisis.
"Withdraw first. We have to find an opportunity. At the very least, this isn’t the time for a head-on clash!"
Lord Pheasant said earnestly, knowing full well that Su Xuan had become the cornerstone for everyone here, and Su Xuan’s combat power had thoroughly controlled the entire situation.
As they retreated, cheers rang out from the Dragon Gate Inn. At that moment, the people seemed to realize that in the face of many things, perhaps they shouldn’t appear too weak.
Watching them retreat, Su Xuan sighed. Actually, seeing them retreat didn’t bring much relief to Su Xuan, but rather, pressure.
If today they had frantically charged, Su Xuan wouldn’t have cared at all. But after today’s events, Su Xuan realized Pheasant wasn’t entirely brainless. He was actually quite smart, just a little overconfident.
"Big Brother, the enemies have retreated. Why are you still sighing?"
Looking at Su Xuan, for a moment, he felt Su Xuan seemed deeper. Today’s battle was a great joy for them, wasn’t it something to celebrate?
"Perhaps everything is just beginning. Tomorrow is the true crucial moment!"
Su Xuan wasn’t a fool. He had been in the army and knew very well that today was more of a trial for them. The real battle was tomorrow. If they succeeded, they could enter the Dragon Gate Inn; if they failed, they would be devoured by the sandstorm.
In life-and-death situations, people fight stronger. The saying goes, ’burn the boats,’ and that’s exactly it!
Su Xuan turned to the people and said seriously.
"Everyone has worked hard. Whether we live, we must hold on!"
Su Xuan said earnestly. When Su Xuan finished, no one spoke, each in their hearts told themselves it was a matter of life and death.
"Better to lose one’s head than be a slave to a lost country!"
