Chapter 676: Chapter 676

The White-clothed Young Master’s chest grew tight, and he nearly spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood in anger.

"Alright, it’s about time. Let’s go up!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a cold look in his eyes.

"Mhm." The White-clothed Young Master nodded.

Thereupon, the two tapped their feet and, using their bodily martial arts techniques, rushed towards the mountains ahead.

Just a few minutes after Zhang Xiaohao and his companion had left,

a troop of disciples wearing the uniforms of the thirty-three major branches, numbering around a hundred, arrived.

After several quick movements, they stopped at the place where Zhang Xiaohao had been fighting.

"My lord! These are disciples from the Heavenly Eye Branch. It seems they’ve been killed by those ants from headquarters!" a disciple reported.

"Humph! Such audacity! On the brink of death, the ten Saint Heirs and Holy Daughters and those old dogs still dare to resist! Killing the disciples of our thirty-three major branches is simply a crime deserving death!" the middle-aged man wearing a silver White Tiger mask said coldly.

"My lord, what do we do now?"

"Dare to kill our people, I want them to have no place to be buried!" the Silver Masked Man said murderously.

"Set off a signal flare! Tell the disciples of the thirty-three branches surrounding this area to intercept and kill those beasts from headquarters!"

"As you command, my lord!" the disciple respectfully replied.

Reaching into his chest, he pulled out a signal flare with seven different colors.

With an explosion, the signal flare shot up into the sky, bursting into a dazzling array of fireworks that almost covered half the sky.

"Move! Increase speed! We must intercept these beasts before they can make it back to their base!" the Silver Masked Man commanded with deadly urgency.

Having said this, he led the group of disciples, quickly advancing in pursuit of Zhang Xiaohao and the White-clothed Young Master.

"Hmm? A signal flare! Could something have happened?" the leader dressed in the Sky Dragon Branch uniform furrowed his brows.

"My lord, the signal flare has been launched. What do we do now?" a disciple asked.

"Humph! It seems the guys at headquarters are really desperate now! Trying to make a final stand, daring to kill disciples from our thirty-three branches, they really deserve to die! Relay the command, aside from surrounding those from headquarters, mobilize all disciples towards the location of the signal flare! we must intercept these wastes from headquarters at the earliest!"

this was the territory of the Sky Snake Branch, with a radius of dozens of miles, all sealed off by the Sky Snake Branch disciples.

Suddenly, at this moment, a signal flare with seven colors soared into the sky, exploding into brilliant, colorful fireworks above.

"Humph! What an audacious lot, daring to resist at the brink of death! They really deserve to die! Come on, mobilize all our forces from the perimeter to encircle and attack towards the location of the signal flare!"

With the mountains as the center, all the disciples of the thirty-three major branches on the outskirts at the sight of the signal flare, mobilized all their surrounding disciples and rushed towards the location of the flare.

Zhang Xiaohao and his companion were unaware that in the shadows, a vast storm centered on them was rapidly enveloping them.

Ten miles away from the mountain range.

Zhang Xiaohao stopped in his tracks.

"Brother Zhang, what’s wrong?" the White-clothed Young Master asked.

"Do you feel that something is off?" Zhang Xiaohao countered.

"Are you referring to the signal flare in the sky just now?" the White-clothed Young Master asked, frowning.

"Yes! Did you not feel, since the moment that signal flare was launched, a massive Evil Qi rising, as if it were engulfing us?" Zhang Xiaohao said somberly.

"Now that you mention it, I’ve noticed too. Considering our level of cultivation, we’ve hurried along for nearly ten minutes without encountering a single disciple of the White Tiger Sect—quite strange indeed!" the White-clothed Young Master said.

"It seems that someone is targeting us in the dark! They’ve set up a Heaven and Earth Net, aiming to capture us all at once!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a cold laugh.

"Hmph! Besides those ten Saint Heirs and Holy Daughters and a few Old Dogs, who have some fighting strength, I’m not boasting! Just with those Squad Leaders of the thirty-three branches, even if they come ten or a hundred times more, under our combined effort, a simple fart could blow them to death!" the White-clothed Young Master said with brimming confidence.

"What if they swarm us all at once? Thousands upon thousands of them attack, can you withstand them?" Zhang Xiaohao asked back.

"Well, if we can’t beat them, we can still run! We could use the kite-flying tactic, slowly torment them to death!" the White-clothed Young Master said awkwardly.

The White-clothed Young Master’s eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.

"Brother Zhang, you’re not serious, are you? All thirty-three branches have really joined forces to come against us?" the White-clothed Young Master said with a grave expression.

"It’s very likely! If I were in their shoes, I’d temporarily set aside all grudges in my heart and join forces to eradicate the headquarters’ power, then fight for the Sect Leader position based on actual strength!" Zhang Xiaohao said seriously.

"Damn it! These animals are too shameless. If they can’t beat us one by one, imagine all thirty-three branches joining forces to kill us. They’ve lost all the dignity of a man!" the White-clothed Young Master cursed under his breath.

"Hm?" Zhang Xiaohao’s brow suddenly furrowed.

Under the sensation of Soul Power, with the two of them as the center, large forces from all directions were rapidly rushing toward them.

Judging by the number of people, it wouldn’t be less than five thousand, possibly even more; a dark, oppressive mass surged with Evil Qi, rising to the heavens and turning the sky black, as if doomsday had arrived.

"Brother Zhang, they couldn’t have arrived already, could they?" said the White-clothed Young Master with a grave face.

"Yes, they have indeed arrived, and the number won’t be lower than five thousand, maybe even more. It looks like we’re in for a fierce battle," Zhang Xiaohao said with a murderous aura.

"Brother Zhang, I have a set of Arrays here. Once deployed, it will envelop a ten-mile radius. By then, not to say a single dragon, even if there were ten True Dragons, they wouldn’t dream of flying out of this Array," the White-clothed Young Master said.

"Damn! With such a good thing, use it quickly!" Zhang Xiaohao said, speechless.

"Well, this Array is a trapping Array. Although it is powerful, it has no attack capability. Moreover, once it is deployed, it will have a fatal flaw," the White-clothed Young Master said awkwardly.

"What flaw?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"Once the Array is set, the person deploying it must fully operate the critical spot. At that time, he will have no offensive capability whatsoever. In other words, as soon as I deploy this Array, I’d be as good as useless, and everything else would depend on you," the White-clothed Young Master said earnestly.

"Are you sure this trapping Array can hold tens of thousands of people, maybe even more?" Zhang Xiaohao asked, furrowing his brow.
