This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 161 - 125: Tao Foundation! Tao Foundation! Tao Foundation! _2
Chapter 161 -125: Tao Foundation! Tao Foundation! Tao Foundation! _2
“Sir, their side has a martial master in the Tao Foundation Stage who injured many of our strong fighters single-handedly, and no one can stop him!”
The secretary said with a crying tone.
“A Tao Foundation Stage? How could they possibly have someone in the Tao Foundation Stage?”
Gu Zhenhui’s complexion turned ashen, and he slumped down into his chair.
He didn’t have to wait for the final result; he knew he had already lost this round.
If the City Guard Army could have defeated the attackers today, there might have been room for maneuver.
But now that the City Guard Army had suffered a crushing defeat, this event was similar to the previous ‘Luoshan Incident’. Even if the Inspection Bureau later recovered the lost firearms, the then Chief Inspector Huang Weiguang had to take responsibility and ultimately retire early.
Today, with the large groups of bandits successfully invading Xing City, it was directly a failure of the City Guard Army. Then, the City Guard Army couldn’t even defeat the bandits and ended up in a rout; the mistake was even greater.
As the Chief, with the City Guard Army directly under him, Gu Zhenhui would ultimately be the one to take the blame. There was no escape.
Once, the Tiger Saber Gang forced Huang Weiguan to retire early, and now they were using the same tactics against Gu Zhenhui, possibly even ushering his immediate dismissal!
That was why Gu Zhenhui felt so desperate.
“Ultimately, I have lost…”
The Chief, who had been fighting the Tiger Saber Gang for years, muttered while sitting in the chair.
…
Kaiping District, Anshan Avenue.
Shangguan Xiao, leading over a hundred people, arrived here.
She had managed Qingyuan Fist Village for many years, with two martial masters, twenty-five warriors in the Body Breaking Stage, and hundreds of experienced fighters under her command.
She brought all of them this time.
However, these individuals mostly carried cold weapons, with more than thirty powerful crossbows but not many firearms.
The smuggling of firearms in Xing City was tightly controlled by the Tiger Saber Gang, making it difficult for people from Qingyuan Fist Village to obtain guns and ammunition from the black market.
“Big Leader, we have confirmed that the group of bandits who entered the city is led by Zhao Yu, the Sect Hierarch of Calming Sect!”
A subordinate reported to Shangguan Xiao.
Qingyuan Fist Village also had spies throughout the city, allowing Shangguan Xiao to get timely intelligence.
“The Calming Sect?”
Shangguan Xiao paused, “I see.”
She suddenly realized many things.
“All forces, our target this time is to eradicate the Cult conspirators!”
Shangguan Xiao declared sternly.
“Yes!”
Everyone responded in unison.
“Shangguan Xiao—”
Just then, a resonant and commanding voice suddenly came from afar.
Shangguan Xiao’s eyes flickered coldly as she turned to look in the direction of the voice:
“Yan Yichen!”
Seconds later, dozens of figures appeared in the distance, the leader being none other than Yan Yichen, the Chief of Zhi Ge Court.
“As a member of Zhi Ge Court, it is our duty to eradicate evil and serve our country with martial valor!”
Yan Yichen pointed at the people from Qingyuan Fist Village and shouted sternly.
“Eradicate evil, serve our country with martial valor!”
The elite members behind him shouted together.

Hearing this, Shangguan Xiao looked puzzled, and the people from Qingyuan Fist Village exchanged glances.
How had it become that one moment, their Big Leader was leading them to eradicate the Cult, yet the next, they were accused of being accomplices with the Cult?
“Hah, the defeated dare to accuse me of distorting the truth?”
Shangguan Xiao sneered and charged directly towards Yan Yichen.
She knew Qingyuan Fist Village couldn’t argue with Zhi Ge Court since they belonged to the government and held the moral high ground.
They would have to prove themselves through action!
Yan Yichen’s face darkened. Indeed, he had lost to Shangguan Xiao last time, but this time he did not avoid the fight and advanced to meet her head-on.
Though not her match, he managed to hold her off for a while.
The two martial masters in the Tao Foundation Stage clashed with tremendous force.
Zhi Ge Court and Qingyuan Fist Village began to fight.
Although Qingyuan Fist Village had more people, Zhi Ge Court’s fighters were all at least in the Body Breaking Stage, giving them the upper hand!
Shangguan Xiao, taking advantage of her superior movement techniques, managed to engage Yan Yichen while also lending support to her subordinates.
With her strength, she could take down any warrior in the Body Breaking Stage with one palm!
Seeing his subordinates being defeated one after another by Shangguan Xiao, Yan Yichen exclaimed angrily:
“Yu Hu, are you not going to take action?!”
His words had just fallen when everyone present was suddenly startled.
Had the Gang Leader of the Tiger Saber Gang also arrived?
“Ha ha ha ha ha—”
With a loud laugh, a figure leapt up from behind a house, surrounded by frost, and charged toward Shangguan Xiao with formidable might.
Yu Hu, a martial master at the Tao Foundation Stage, joined the battle!
With Yu Hu’s arrival, the elite forces of the Tiger Saber Gang also joined the fray.
These men had been continuously attacked by secret agents from the Inspection Bureau along their way and had sustained some damages. However, when they joined forces with the elite of Zhi Ge Court, they immediately gained the upper hand and suppressed the fighters from Qingyuan Fist Village.
“Tiger Saber Gang assists Zhi Ge Court in eradicating treachery, serving the country through martial prowess!”
Yu Hu, while striking at Shangguan Xiao, roared out loud.
Fearing his voice wasn’t loud enough, he used his force to amplify it, making his voice carry far and wide.
“Kill them, serve the country through martial prowess!”
The members of the Tiger Saber Gang also shouted the slogan loudly following their Gang Leader.
“Shangguan Xiao, you colluded with the Calming Sect, you deserve death. Today is your day to die!”
Yu Hu bellowed, launching a high-level Cold Evil Snow Flakes Force toward Shangguan Xiao.
With his participation, the pressure on Shangguan Xiao multiplied; she no longer had spare energy to help her subordinates.
If she were to fight one-on-one with Yu Hu, the chances of winning could go either way, but with Yan Yichen adding to the opposition, she was instantly put at a disadvantage.
“My fellow disciple should have received the message; just need to hold on until he returns.”
Facing the crisis, Shangguan Xiao remained very calm.
She was well aware of how fast Hao Yi could move when unleashing his full power, so she did not believe that she would definitely lose today.
However, no sooner had they begun fighting than another powerful aura approached:
“The Calming Sect attacks, don’t be presumptuous!”
It was Zhao Yu, controlling his Tao Foundation clone, who rushed over at full speed while bellowing with his force:
“Big Leader, I’m here to assist you—”
As he spoke, the Tao Foundation clone dived into the crowd, heading directly toward where the three Tao Foundation Stage powerhouses were clashing.
The next second, a Red Snake was launched by him, forcing back both Yu Hu and Yan Yichen.
Another Tao Foundation Stage powerhouse?!
Such might made everyone present recognize the newcomer’s strength, clearly yet another Tao Foundation Stage.
This brought the total to Shangguan Xiao, Yu Hu, Yan Yichen, plus this newly arrived powerhouse from the Calming Sect.
This battle today turned out to involve four Tao Foundation Stage powerhouses!
Shangguan Xiao had initially been surprised why the City Guard Army hadn’t stopped the Calming Sect’s forces, allowing the enemy to arrive so quickly.
Now, seeing this unexpected Tao Foundation figure, she finally understood what Yu Hu’s trump card was.
After the Tao Foundation clone forced back Yu Hu and Yan Yichen, it immediately charged toward Shangguan Xiao, seemingly intending to join forces.
But how could Shangguan Xiao dare to let him get close?
She struck him with a palm straight away.
Pop—
The Tao Foundation clone did not dodge or evade and took Shangguan Xiao’s palm, flying backward from the impact.
“Shangguan Xiao, how dare you betray me?!”
Zhao Yu, controlling the Tao Foundation clone, pointed at Shangguan Xiao and roared.
After speaking, the Tao Foundation clone charged toward Shangguan Xiao again, this time fully prepared to strike her down!
“Ha?”
Shangguan Xiao was amused by the poor performance before her.
This was Yu Hu’s arranged drama?
Qingyuan Fist Village and Calming Sect conspiring, only to have internal strife flare up, and Tiger Saber Gang, aiding Zhi Ge Court, seized the opportunity to eradicate the treachery and defend Xing City, serving the nation through martial prowess!
As for Hao Yi, being Shangguan Xiao’s fellow disciple, he was naturally a conspirator, and it was only fitting for him to be killed.
“Yu Hu, ever since Zhang Mingze’s death, your tactics have become increasingly clumsy and laughable.”
Shangguan Xiao mocked while clashing palms with the Tao Foundation clone.
“The means do not matter, the outcome does.”
Yu Hu, surrounded by icy frost, enveloped Shangguan Xiao in snow:
“After you die, you can laugh it over slowly with your fellow disciple below!”
Simultaneously, Yan Yichen, wielding a longsword refined by Golden Stone Force, thrust forward, slicing open a wound on Shangguan Xiao.
Three Tao Foundation Stage figures besieged Shangguan Xiao!
Meanwhile, Green-faced Ghost was bringing ‘Li Fei’ along, hurrying over…
Also, tomorrow’s update will be at 5 PM, two chapters together.
