However, the waiting process was fraught with uncertainty and danger. They didn't know when the mustachioed man would arrive, or whether he would discover their plan. Every moment was tense and anxious, but they remained steadfast in their waiting.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps broke the silence. The brother and sister immediately looked toward the source of the sound and saw the man with the mustache leading a group of his men toward them menacingly.

"It's finally here!" Zhang Beixing's heart tightened, but he quickly regained his composure. He knew he couldn't panic now; he had to proceed according to plan.

Zhang Shumin clenched her fists nervously, but she knew she couldn't back down. She glanced at Zhang Beixing and saw that his eyes remained firm and calm. This gave her great encouragement and confidence.

"Little Mustache, your end is near!" Zhang Beixing suddenly shouted, and his figure rushed towards the little mustache like an arrow released from a bow.

The man with the mustache was shocked at the sight, but quickly recovered and swung his sword to meet the attack. The two instantly clashed, their blades flashing incessantly.

Seeing this, Zhang Shumin immediately sprang into action. Following the plan, she lured away the man with the mustache, creating an opportunity for Zhang Beixing. She knew she was no match for the man with the mustache, but she fought fearlessly nonetheless.

In an instant, the entire battlefield was filled with the sounds of fierce fighting and high-pitched shouts. The brother and sister engaged in a fierce battle with the mustachioed man and his gang, both sides using every trick in the book to try and kill the other.

However, just as the battle entered its most intense and deadliest phase, an unexpected situation arose.

In the midst of the fierce exchange, Zhang Beixing suddenly felt a piercing pain. He looked down and saw that his wound had reopened, and blood was gushing out continuously.

"Brother!" Zhang Shumin exclaimed, rushing to Zhang Beixing's side. "What happened to you? How did your wound reopen?"

Zhang Beixing gritted his teeth and endured the excruciating pain as he said, "It's alright, Shumin, don't worry. It's probably because I moved too much just now and aggravated the wound."

"How are you feeling now? Can you still hold on?" Zhang Shumin asked anxiously.

Zhang Beixing nodded: "No problem, I can manage. You go and help deal with those small fry, don't let them get close to us."

Zhang Shumin glanced at the situation on the battlefield and knew that the situation was extremely critical. Although she was worried about Zhang Beixing's injuries, she also understood that she had to deal with those henchmen as soon as possible to relieve the pressure on Zhang Beixing.

"Okay, brother, please be careful." Zhang Shumin said, then turned around and threw herself back into the battle.

But just then, the man with the mustache suddenly let out a sinister laugh: "Haha, Zhang Beixing, do you think you can still escape? Today is your death day!"

With that, he waved his hand, and his men charged even more frantically towards the brother and sister. Oh no, the mustachioed man's men are catching up!
Upon seeing this, Zhang Beixing's heart tightened, but he knew he couldn't panic at this moment. He took a deep breath, tried to compose himself, and then swung his sword to meet the attack.

"Shumin, be careful!" Zhang Beixing shouted a warning to Zhang Shumin while fighting.

Upon hearing Zhang Beixing's warning, Zhang Shumin immediately looked around alertly. She noticed several henchmen stealthily approaching her, attempting to ambush her. A chill ran down her spine, but she reacted instantly. She nimbly dodged their attacks, then swung her sword back, driving them away.

"Brother, I'm fine!" Zhang Shumin shouted back. "You should also be careful!"

The brother and sister supported each other on the battlefield, fighting off the attacks of Mustache and his men. Despite their increasingly severe injuries, they never gave up. They knew that as long as they had a breath left, they would never let Mustache and his gang succeed!
However, as time passed, the siblings gradually ran out of strength. Their movements became sluggish, and their reactions were not as quick as before. Noticing this, the mustachioed man and his gang immediately intensified their attack, attempting to capture the siblings in one fell swoop.

"Brother, I can't hold on much longer..." Zhang Shumin said, panting heavily.

Zhang Beixing glanced at Zhang Shumin and noticed that her face had turned deathly pale. He knew this couldn't go on; he had to find a way to break through as soon as possible.

He quickly scanned his surroundings, then suddenly shouted, "Shumin, come with me!" With that, he flashed away and rushed in one direction.

Although Zhang Shumin didn't know what Zhang Beixing was planning, she firmly believed that her brother would have a way. So, she followed him without hesitation.

Upon seeing this, the man with the mustache and his companions immediately gave chase, attempting to intercept them.

Zhang Beixing and Zhang Shumin ran desperately, trying to shake off the pursuit of the man with the mustache. However, their strength was severely depleted, their injuries were worsening, and their speed was decreasing. Meanwhile, the man with the mustache and his men were hot on their heels, and the distance between them was closing.

Just as the siblings were about to be caught, a dense forest suddenly appeared ahead. Zhang Beixing's eyes lit up, and he immediately pulled Zhang Shumin into the forest. The trees were lush and the intertwined branches blocked most of the sunlight, making it so dark that it was almost impossible to see the path. After Xiao Huzi and his companions chased after them, their vision was greatly impaired, and for a moment they couldn't find any trace of the siblings.

Zhang Beixing and Zhang Shumin seized the opportunity to hide in a dense thicket. They huddled together, holding their breath, afraid to make a sound. The man with the mustache and his gang searched the area for a while, but finding no one, they began to curse impatiently.

"Where did those two little brats go?"

"Find them quickly! They must be hiding around here!"

Hearing the commotion outside, Zhang Shumin nervously grasped Zhang Beixing's hand: "Brother, what should we do? Will they find out about us?"

Zhang Beixing gently patted the back of her hand, signaling her not to be afraid: "Don't worry, Shumin. Your brother is here, he won't let them hurt you."

He paused, then said in a low voice, "We need to find a way to lure them away and then find a chance to escape. You stay here and don't move, I'll go out and lure them away." "No! Brother, it's too dangerous!" Zhang Shumin immediately grabbed him tightly, "I can't let you go on this risk alone!"

Looking into her resolute eyes, Zhang Beixing felt a surge of emotion. He knew it would be difficult to persuade Zhang Shumin, so he had to think of another way. Just then, he suddenly heard light footsteps, followed by a familiar voice in their ears: "You two, come with me."

The brother and sister were startled. Looking up, they saw a masked man standing before them. They didn't know if he was friend or foe, but they had no other choice but to follow him. The masked man led them through the woods, winding left and right, until they finally arrived at a hidden cave.

"Let's go inside and hide," the masked man said, pointing to the cave. "It's safe in there; they won't find us."

The brother and sister exchanged a glance, then nodded and followed the masked man into the cave. The cave was dark and damp, filled with a pungent odor. But they didn't care about that anymore; all they cared about was escaping the mustachioed man's pursuit.

However, just as they breathed a sigh of relief, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came, followed by a figure rushing into the cave—it was Little Mustache!
"Haha! I've finally found you two!" The mustachioed man grinned maliciously at them. "Let's see where you can run this time!"

The brother and sister were terrified, wondering how the mustachioed man had found them. They immediately looked around warily, preparing for the battle to come.

However, to their surprise, the man with the mustache didn't act immediately. Instead, he looked at Zhang Shumin and said, "Miss Fang, I've always admired you. If you're willing to come with me, I promise I won't hurt you or your brother. Besides, you'll live a life of wealth and luxury."

Zhang Shumin was taken aback when she heard this, never expecting that the man with the mustache would say such a thing.

She glanced quickly at Zhang Beixing, catching a fleeting glimpse of anger in his eyes, which he quickly concealed. She knew perfectly well what the man with the mustache was up to: sowing discord between the siblings and inciting them to kill each other. But she would never fall into this carefully laid trap!

"Little mustache, you won't get away with this!" Zhang Shumin said firmly and without hesitation. "My brother and I have been through countless life-and-death trials together. Our bond is as solid as a rock, and we will never betray each other! If you want to hurt us, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"

Upon hearing Zhang Shumin's resounding words, the man with the mustache's face instantly turned ashen. He never imagined that the bond between these siblings was so deep; they would rather sacrifice themselves than submit. Anger burned fiercely within him, but he also knew that subduing these two siblings would be no easy task.

He carefully surveyed the cave's interior, then coldly said, "You really think you're safe hiding in this cave? Don't be naive. The only exit is already surrounded by my men. You have nowhere to escape!"

Hearing this, the brother and sister felt a chill run down their spines. They hadn't expected the mustachioed man to have such a trump card. They exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with unwavering determination. They knew there was no turning back now; their only option was to fight to the death.

"Little mustache, you think you can make us submit like this? You're dreaming!" Zhang Beixing stood tall and fearless, staring directly at the mustache. "My sister and I would rather die than submit, and we will never let you succeed!"

The man with the mustache met Zhang Beixing's resolute gaze, and his heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected this young man to possess such a strong will and courage. A nameless fear quietly rose within him, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Hmph! You think you can scare me like this? Let me tell you, I, Little Mustache, am not someone who gets scared easily!" He sneered, then waved his hand and shouted, "Go! Take them both down!"

At his command, a cacophony of footsteps and shouts erupted outside the cave. The mustachioed man's men launched a fierce attack into the cave.

Seeing this, the brother and sister immediately gripped their weapons tightly, ready for battle. They knew this was a life-or-death struggle; the slightest mistake could mean instant death. However, they showed no fear or hesitation, for they firmly believed that justice would surely prevail over evil!
However, just as the battle was about to break out, a loud and authoritative voice suddenly rang out from inside the cave: "Stop it, all of you!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall, imposing middle-aged man standing at the entrance of the cave. Behind him was a group of people in uniform, clearly members of some organization.

"Who are you? How dare you meddle in our business?" the man with the mustache asked the middle-aged man warily.

The middle-aged man glanced at him coldly and said in a deep voice, "I am the leader of the Righteousness Sect. I have come today to punish you wicked villains!"

"The Justice Gate?" The man with the mustache was startled. "You're the leader of the Justice Gate, the one who's been secretly opposing us all along?"

“Exactly!” the leader of the Righteousness Sect replied coldly. “Your evil deeds are numerous, and you deserve to be punished long ago! Today is your end!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the people behind him surged forward like a tide, surrounding the man with the mustache and his men. The man with the mustache and his companions were utterly astonished; they never expected the Righteous Gate members to suddenly appear here. They knew in their hearts that they were likely doomed today.

"Brother, we're saved!" Zhang Shumin's voice trembled with excitement as she looked at the scene before her.

Zhang Beixing breathed a sigh of relief; they had finally received reinforcements. He glanced gratefully at the leader of the Righteousness Sect, his heart filled with gratitude. He knew that if they hadn't arrived in time, he and his sister would likely have perished today.

"Thank you for saving my life!" Zhang Bei stepped forward and bowed deeply to the leader of the Righteousness Sect.

The leader of the Righteousness Sect glanced at him and nodded slightly: "You two siblings are commendable for your courage. If you have the opportunity, you can join our Righteousness Sect and work together to uphold justice in the martial world!"

The words of the leader of the Justice Gate surprised Zhang Beixing and Zhang Shumin, but they also understood that it was a high recognition of their courage and sense of justice. They smiled at each other, their hearts filled with hopeful anticipation for the future.

However, the man with the mustache was now ashen-faced. He glared fiercely at the leader of the Justice Gate and roared, "Justice Gate! How dare you ruin my plans! Today I'll show you who the real overlord is!"

The leader of the Righteous Gate sneered, his eyes revealing deep disdain: "Little mustache, do you think you can dominate this place with some despicable and shameless means? You're wrong! Today I will act on behalf of Heaven and eliminate you, this scourge!"

The conversation between the two men instantly created a tense atmosphere in the cave. The man with the mustache nervously surrounded him, while the disciples of the Righteous Gate stood ready, prepared to strike at any moment. A great battle was about to begin, but everyone firmly believed that justice would ultimately prevail over evil. (End of Chapter)
