Chapter 1700 - 2002: Battle at the Guild Hall (Part 1)

"What’s so important about the western wall?" Guo Halong asked.

Tian Xiong pointed at the map and said, "After breaching the western wall, you enter Dragon Tiger Hall’s martial arts arena, where they will undoubtedly have deployed a significant number of forces. Once inside, a direct confrontation with them is inevitable, and winning this fight is crucial. If we fail, the entire operation could collapse. Hence, the forces going through the western wall must be sufficiently strong." He glanced at Guo Halong and Qi Yong beside him.

Feeling his gaze, Guo Halong and Qi Yong remained silent, just quietly looking at the map. They weren’t foolish; whoever leads the assault would suffer enormous losses. So, they wouldn’t volunteer.

Seeing neither of them speak, Tian Xiong nodded and said, "The importance of the battle at the martial arts arena is self-evident. Since we three forces are allied, let’s show some sincerity. Dark Pavilion will send six Earthly List elite fighters to join the attack lineup, the rest is up to you."

Upon hearing this, Guo Halong said, "Heavenly Dragon Sect can provide thirty elite disciples."

Qi Yong chimed in, "I can also provide thirty elite disciples."

"Good." Tian Xiong smiled and said, "As long as we break their defensive power head-on, they won’t be a major concern. Now, let’s discuss Dragon Tiger Hall’s core forces. No need for me to say, everyone knows how strong Dragon Tiger Hall’s core forces are. Not to mention their Martial Arts Hall Master, Tong Zhentian, just Ling Chen alone is enough of a headache, not to mention the eight strange figures all being based at Dragon Tiger Hall."

"It’s six," Qi Yong corrected, "The third of the eight has been severely injured and is undergoing treatment at the hospital, and that woman named Xia Yue is always there taking care of him. These two won’t pose a threat to us."

"Golden Dragon and Wang Teng, these two are major trouble. Have you heard of them?" Tian Xiong glanced at the two and said, "These two old men gained fame long ago, and had been in seclusion until recently, now their power is formidable. If we can’t handle these two, our operation will hardly succeed."

Guo Halong asked, "Any good ideas, Mr. Tian?"

Tian Xiong seemed to have a plan all along, and said steadily, "These two aren’t suitable for direct confrontation, we must find a way to stall them, keep them from bothering about anything else. This matter is handled by Dark Pavilion, just focus on dealing with the others."

"Ling Chen, Chen Junfeng, and the rest of the strange figures, leave them to me. I’m confident I can eliminate them."

Seeing Guo Halong’s confident demeanor, Qi Yong nodded and said, "In that case, Tong Zhentian and Ji Gang are mine."

"Okay." Tian Xiong gently tapped the map on the table with his finger and said, "I must remind everyone, this battle must be swift, don’t delay too long. According to my plan, the fight must end within ten minutes. If we exceed the time limit without inflicting significant losses on Dragon Tiger Hall, we’ll have to withdraw."

"Withdraw?" Guo Halong frowned and said, "Ten minutes is too short. We three forces combined, why not eliminate Dragon Tiger Hall in one strike? You don’t plan for another round, do you?"

"Master Guo, don’t underestimate Dragon Tiger Hall." Qi Yong intervened, "East Sea City is after all Ling Chen’s turf, his people are everywhere, so we must be cautious. If we fall into their swarm tactics, the trouble will be ours."

"Master Qi is right. Ultimately, follow my command. Once I signal withdrawal, no one should hesitate." With that, Tian Xiong checked the time and said, "Begin the operation at exactly two o’clock in the morning, all be ready, don’t mess up then."

Qi Yong and Guo Halong exchanged a glance, then both left the office.

...

At midnight, the streets were deserted, especially around Dragon Tiger Hall, not a person in sight, even the streetlights were off, leaving everything pitch-black, not even fingers visible.

In a small supermarket dozens of meters away from Dragon Tiger Hall, Guo Halong stood at the window, watching Dragon Tiger Hall from afar. Behind him were dozens of elite disciples from the Heavenly Dragon Sect. Then footsteps echoed from behind, Guo Halong retracted his gaze, turned around, his expression immediately respectful, promptly stepped aside, and said to the newcomer, "Mr. Zhu."

The person was none other than the true controller of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, Zhu Hong.

Zhu Hong moved to the window, glanced toward Dragon Tiger Hall, and asked, "Is everything arranged?"

"Rest assured, Mr. Zhu. Tan Gang has handled everything, and we’ve sent a team to the hospital. Yuan Yun is now a useless man, Xia Yue alone is no match for us. As long as we apply some pressure, Xia Yue will surely seek help from Dragon Tiger Hall, then Ling Chen will definitely send the remaining members of the strange figures to assist."

"Very good." Zhu Hong nodded, "First lure away the strange figures, then concentrate power on facing Ling Chen and Chen Junfeng. Hmph! With the three forces combined, let’s see how Ling Chen copes."

After a brief pause, he changed the topic and asked, "You mentioned Qi Yong volunteered to deal with Tong Zhentian and Ji Gang?"

"Yes."

"That’s interesting," Zhu Hong sneered coldly, "I’ve always thought Dangyang Sect was just a bunch of rabble. Since Qi Yong dares, he must be prepared, perhaps we’ve underestimated Dangyang Sect. Master Guo, when the action starts, keep a close eye on Dangyang Sect, I want a clear understanding of their strength. Do you understand?"

Guo Halong responded, "Rest assured, Mr. Zhu." Then, checking the time, said, "It’s already half past one, just thirty more minutes."

"Notify everyone to be ready."

...

Dragon Tiger Hall.

Knock knock knock!

Ling Chen, in deep sleep, was startled awake by urgent knocks on the door. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, clambered out of bed, and hurried to the door. Opening it, he saw Qiu Yong standing outside, urgently saying, "Sixth brother, Fifth Sister just called, saying there’s trouble at the hospital, someone wants to bother them."

"Is that so?" Ling Chen felt a jolt, sleep dissipating more than half.

"I’ll lead the others to the hospital, contact me if anything happens."

"Big brother, should I accompany you?"

Qiu Yong shook his head, "No need, the situation is unclear, perhaps they target Dragon Tiger Hall. Anyway, be careful yourself. I’ll rush over after dealing with the hospital’s situation."
