Fists that can subdue mountains and rivers, martial arts that can lead to immortality!

"What a coincidence today."

"The Cao family, father and son, intend to cooperate with the foreign concessions to jointly eradicate the Red Umbrella Cult hiding within them."

"So the Crimson Umbrella Sect couldn't sit still any longer and launched a fierce attack on the Cao family father and son."

"To catch the thief, first catch the king."

"But I never expected that the martial arts masters at the Tianjin Martial Arts School thought the same way."

"The Cao family has been giving them a hard time lately, and they've even killed a lot of their disciples."

"They were originally masked and, under the cover of night, intended to assassinate the Cao family father and son."

"As it happened, the Red Umbrella Cult launched a major attack, and now the assassination has turned into an open attack."

"In addition, we were also thinking of pulling off a big heist, so we took a different approach and broke into the treasure vault of the Cao family."

"They've launched a pincer attack on the Cao family, father and son!"

"This situation is utterly chaotic!"

"No matter how this ends, it's enough to give the Cao family a hard time!"

"let's go!"

Jiang Wangzu closed the miniature telescope and then naturally stuffed it into his tattered pocket, which was riddled with bullet holes.

What are you doing?

"That's my telescope, a Western import!"

Wang Jianyang was so angry at Jiang Wangzu's shameless behavior that he blurted out his native dialect.

"Hey buddy, no need to be so formal!"

"It's mine!"

"When you go to Shanghai, I'll treat you to a 'spa'!"

"We'll provide you with a complete service, your satisfaction is guaranteed!"

Jiang Wangzu spoke up casually.

Although Wang Jianyang didn't know what Jiang Wangzu meant by "big sword" and "one-stop service".

However, he could tell from Jiang Wangzu's sincere eyes that this thing should be pretty good.

A fierce battle ensued.

It lasted from the early hours of the morning until just before dawn.

Seeing that their siege was proving unsuccessful and that they had suffered heavy losses, the Red Umbrella Sect decided to attack.

However, a steady stream of soldiers continued to arrive at the Tianjin government building to provide support.

With the balance of power shifting, the plan to kill Cao Cao and his son tonight has fallen through.

As for the dozen or so martial arts masters at the Qi Realm, they had already taken the opportunity to slip away.

However, almost all of them were covered in blood, and two of them were carried away.

Because they knew they absolutely could not leave any bodies here.

If the Cao family father and son die tonight, that will be fine.

If they are not dead, find out their identities.

Then all those associated with them will probably die.

Tianjin Government Building.

Inside the underground chamber.

"Where's the money?"

"Where's my money?"

"Where did my big yellow croaker and small yellow croaker go?"

"And all my mountains of silver, how did they all turn into silver scraps?"

"And my pearls, agates, rare treasures, antique jade, and calligraphy and paintings."

"It's ruined, all fucking ruined!"

"Who is it?"

"Who is it?"

"Investigate! Dig three feet into the ground and find him!"

When Cao Yingxiong saw the underground chamber reduced to ruins, he flew into a rage, wishing he could explode on the spot.

His adjutant remained silent, and the other guards dared not utter a sound.

"Commander, according to the surviving brothers, the person who made the attack was radiating a dazzling golden light, as if cast in brass. Bullets hitting him only sent sparks flying, completely unable to harm him!"

"This is clearly a very powerful martial artist who has mastered external martial arts techniques."

After Cao Yingxiong calmed down a bit, his adjutant spoke up.

"Wait, it's emitting golden light?"

"Wasn't that the martial arts master who forcibly broke into Tianjin just like that?"

"Could it be that he was the one who made the move this time as well?"

"Yes, it must have been him!"

"He brought martial arts experts from the Tianjin Martial Arts School to kill me."

"As a result, we stumbled upon an underground chamber and discovered so much treasure."

"Based on the principle of 'if I can't have it, I'll destroy it,' let's completely destroy this place!"

"Damn that martial arts master of external techniques, why does he have to pick on me?"

Cao Yingxiong was filled with hatred.

But it was useless!

Martial arts masters are inherently very difficult to kill; even if several battalions of soldiers surround them, they may not be able to kill them.

As for martial arts masters who practice external martial arts, they are practically indestructible!

When Cao Yingxiong was still a common soldier, he once carried out his superior's order to execute a martial arts master.

The other party is not some kind of martial arts master who practices external martial arts.

Two hours after the execution, the man was still alive!

Then he killed several officers and fled.

He knew that such inhuman beings were actually quite rare.

But one particular one gave him a terrible headache.

Only a martial arts grandmaster can kill a martial arts grandmaster.

But where can he find a martial arts master now?

Even martial arts masters at the Jinli realm are unwilling to work for these notorious warlords!

"Pass on my order to mobilize manpower to detain all martial artists above the Qi and Blood Realm at the Tianjin Martial Arts School for investigation."

"Then increase patrols and execute all Red Umbrella Cult members and followers outside the concession. Better to kill ten thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free!"

"Within five days, I will ensure that there are no more remnants of the Red Umbrella Sect or any bandits who break the law in the entire city of Tianjin!"

"Five days later, we'll collect the rent, wipe out the entire territory, kill the Red Umbrella Cult heretics, and while we're at it, thoroughly plunder the incredibly wealthy concession!"

Cao Yingxiong spoke out fiercely.

This time, his losses were truly enormous.

He felt as if his heart was bleeding.

He must make up for his losses.

Tianjin has now been almost completely exploited and squeezed dry by him.

Now, the only place that can meet his needs is the foreign concession!

He sent troops into the concession to arrest the Red Umbrella Cult members, and they would inevitably search every house and run a search, which would lead to conflicts and bloodshed.

"Then... will Master Huo Tianhong also be arrested?"

Cao Yingxiong's adjutant asked hesitantly.

Huo Tianhong is a martial arts grandmaster. How many of them would dare to arrest a martial arts grandmaster?

Even though the other party has children and a large family, they might not dare to make a move against them.

However, there is a saying in the martial arts world: a martial arts master must not be insulted, for to do so will result in death!

They don't want to try and die!

"It's not arresting, it's inviting!"

"Someone tried to assassinate me last night, and there were quite a few martial arts masters among them."

"Therefore, I need to ask prominent figures from the Tianjin martial arts schools to cooperate with the investigation."

"If the subsequent investigation proves them innocent, I will release them immediately!"

Of course, this "immediately" means at least five days later, or even longer.

He knew that at least a third of the Jinli Realm martial artists at the Tianjin Martial Arts School had made their move last night.

But he has no evidence.

There's no way to directly take action against them.

So now he keeps these people under his watchful eye, treating them to good food and drink.

He just hopes these bastards will stop causing him trouble.

If he could, he would love to kill all those damned guys.

But it's difficult, and too easy to suffer a backlash.

Martial arts masters are truly a troublesome and difficult group of people!

If he could recruit a few martial arts masters, then the safety of him and his son would be guaranteed.

Cao Yingxiong was indulging in some wishful thinking.
