NOVPUBThese knights were clad in dark red battle armor carved with flame patterns; their warhorses, massive creatures of a unique breed among horses, easily traversed a thousand li in a day.
"Clang clang clang!"
"Enemies are attacking! Enemies are attacking!"
On the city walls, the alert soldiers recovered from their shock, rang the large bell to send signals, and immediately a series of bell sounds broke out, echoing through the entirety of Diluo City.
The soldiers in Diluo City rapidly converged on the city walls to fend off the attackers.
The knights in dark red battle armor, however, did not advance to attack. Instead, the knight leading them issued an order, "Guard the east, south, west, and north gates and prevent anyone from leaving!"
These knights, forty thousand strong, were the elite Iron Riders from Great Flame City; their purpose here was to take over Diluo City.
What they were doing now was waiting, waiting for their own strong warriors to settle the score with the Luo Family so that the soldiers and generals of Diluo City could easily surrender without bloodshed.
"Who would dare to attack Diluo City?"
Meanwhile, at the heart of Diluo City in a magnificent residence, all the Luo Family disciples were somewhat shocked as they heard the ringing bells throughout the city.
"Could it be the Yan Imperial Family... Are they intending to take action against our Luo Family?"
And there were clever disciples from the Luo Family who probably guessed what was happening; their faces turned dark and ugly.
The Luo Family had been entrenched in Diluo City for many years and were the absolute rulers of the city. Now, with chaos throughout the land, the Yan Imperial Family needed to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, to deter other families and powers, and they intended to make the Luo Family that chicken!
"Boom!"
With a dull thud, the main gate of the Luo Family residence was forcibly smashed open by a tremendous force.
"Family Head Luo! Come out! Gu Feiyang has arrived!"
At the same time, a resounding voice echoed through the Luo Family residence. At the entrance, Gu Feiyang, leading a group of over ten people, strode into the Luo residence.
Although there were only over ten of them, they were all elite members of the Flame Dragon Guard, with the weakest among them having reached the level of Three Flowers Gathering at the Top—over ten of them could match a force of ten thousand!
The disciples of great families are usually few in number, and the Luo Family was no exception, with nearly a hundred direct disciples.
At this moment, a large number of Luo Family disciples were already in battle array, their gazes filled with both fear and anger as they looked towards Gu Feiyang and his group.
They were angry because for the first time after many years, someone dared to directly attack the Luo Family in Diluo City, and they were naturally alarmed because the attackers were all top-notch fighters, sensing that the Luo Family was about to face a disaster today!
Su Changkong was also in the team, wearing black clothes, observing each Luo Family disciple. Most of the Luo disciples had traces of blood in their eyes due to anger, conveying a sense of frenzy.
"It seems the Luo Family has also used the method of plundering others’ bloodlines to maintain the strength of their own," Su Changkong thought to himself.
The two sides confronted each other, but no one had made a move yet.
"So it’s Commander Gu Feiyang. My apologies for not greeting you from afar. Please forgive me."
After a while, a gentle voice came from within the residence. A middle-aged man with half-white hair stepped forward; his face was kind, exuding an honest and elder-like demeanor.
"Family Head."
All the Luo Family disciples greeted him with respect.
This middle-aged man was Luo Yong, the Family Head of the Luo Family. To the outside world, he seemed harmless and amiable, but everyone knew that he was the master of the Luo Family, not a simple character.
Gu Feiyang looked around and suddenly spoke, "Luo Yong, where is your son Luo Huang? I’ve heard that your son, Luo Huang, has surpassed his teacher in skill, a genius that the Luo Family hasn’t seen in hundreds of years!"
Luo Huang, a prodigal martial artist born to the Luo Family, was extremely extraordinary. The purpose of their visit was to take down the Luo Family, with Luo Huang being a key target.
However, Luo Huang was nowhere to be seen amongst the Luo Family disciples.
Luo Yong smiled, "My son is unwell and unable to meet with Commander Gu. I hope for your understanding."
Gu Feiyang didn’t bother with more talk; his expression turned cold as he said, "Luo Yong, you should know why I am here. Surrender peacefully and wait for your fate; your Luo Family might still have a chance to preserve its bloodline. Otherwise, your Luo Family’s lineage will end today!"
Luo Yong sighed, "Indeed, my Luo Family has fallen... and one day will become the object of the Xia Yan family’s lesson..." 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝙗.𝒄𝒐𝒎
"But... to expect my Luo Family to surrender without a fight, that’s the Xia Yan family overestimating themselves! Gu Feiyang, I’d like to test your capabilities!"
Luo Yong’s tone shifted, and he said coldly. Surrender without a fight? That was a choice no martial artist would make, let alone the Luo Family, who took pride in being descendants of a Martial Saint!
"Then... prepare to die!"
Gu Feiyang’s expression turned fierce, and without further ado, he made his move.
"Boom!"
With one step forward, Gu Feiyang pushed out his right palm; the forceful Gang Wind surged with his mighty Qi and Blood, creating a tumultuous airflow that tore the air apart with an explosion, like a roaring evil dragon, an utterly terrifying strike that threw nature’s spiritual energy into chaos!
As the commander of the Flame Dragon Guard, Gu Feiyang was a Great Grandmaster at the Pseudo Divine Skill level, stronger than Duanmu Tao, and formidable in battle, his attacks were chilling to the core.
"Taiyang True Gang!"
Luo Yong also summoned his full True Qi, like a colossal elephant swinging its trunk. A raging, scorching aura gathered between his fists, bursting with heat and brightness, filled with explosive power!
Although Luo Yong had not cultivated to the level of Pseudo Divine Skill, he was nevertheless a Five-Qi Grandmaster at the pinnacle and, as a scion of a prestigious family with Martial Saint bloodline, combined with Divine Skills from his lineage, his combat strength was terrifying.
