Chapter 966 - 359: Captain Fang, Is That All!? (4)

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Chu Kuanglan waved a large hand, slapped Liu San heavily on the shoulder, almost causing him to stagger, his tone bold, "We’re all brothers! Let’s join forces and fight together!"

At that moment, a cold gaze fell on Chu Kuanglan.

It was Wei Banmeng, who had just killed three Tier Three Corpse Puppets and temporarily stabilized the battle line.

Her eyes swept over the suddenly appearing Liu San and the hundreds of people with him, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, a clear inquiry and a hint of displeasure in her gaze.

Fang Qingyu’s previous arrangements were very clear.

He had no intention of involving Liu San and his group in the Celestial Punishment Association’s affairs.

After all...

Asking these deeply rooted people in the City of Injustice to risk their lives for him.

It seemed a bit too cruel.

The brothers here now all knew of Fang Qingyu’s identity and voluntarily chose to come.

But Liu San’s group clearly was a decision made by Chu Kuanglan alone.

Chu Kuanglan’s hearty smile froze instantly on his face.

The hairs on the back of his neck stood up.

Oops, forgot to discuss this with Qingzi and Banmeng beforehand.

His mind raced, thinking of how to explain to calm Wei Banmeng.

Before he could think of what to say.

Beside him, Liu San stepped forward and said:

"Sister Meng, it’s not Brother Chu’s fault; it’s us brothers who insisted on coming."

These words caught Wei Banmeng off guard...

These old hands from the City of Injustice still willing to voluntarily come to the Celestial Punishment Association to risk their lives for Fang Qingyu!?

What were they thinking?

Liu San took a deep breath, meeting the icy gaze, speaking quickly yet clearly: "Sister Meng, the brothers all understand, Captain Fang, and you, and Brother Chu, Sister Jiang... this small pond of the City of Injustice simply can’t contain you, you will eventually leave."

He glanced at the veterans around him who were fighting fiercely, his voice suddenly rising: "But we old brothers are different, we’ve committed crimes in the Federation, rolled in the mud of the City of Injustice for decades, we’ve had enough, enough of living like rats in the dark, enough of days filled with fear, we don’t want to stay here in this godforsaken place and await death after you leave."

He suddenly clenched the machete in his hand, his knuckles turning white from the force, "We want to follow Captain Fang, keep following, even if we can only be foot soldiers, stepping stones, we want a chance to fight honorably. To fight for a chance to stand in the sunlight again, so we begged Brother Chu to bring us, if we deserve punishment, punish us."

Behind Liu San, the others fighting hard seemed to hear his words.

They all let out a deep roar in unison.

Wei Banmeng quietly looked at Liu San, at the determination in his eyes.

She glanced over the veterans behind him.

The air was silent for a few seconds.

Finally, a smile like ripples on an ice-covered lake appeared on her cold face.

"Alright."

"Then follow. I’ll handle Qingzi’s side."

"Thank you, Sister Meng!!!"

A happy expression immediately appeared on Liu San’s face.

But before the words were fully spoken, urgent rescue calls continuously sounded in all the communication earpieces worn by everyone.

"Lin Yu reporting, Zone B flank is under massive Corpse Puppet attack, too many in number! Requesting support! Repeat! Requesting support!"

"Su Wanqing reporting, Central Corridor breached, Corpse Puppet numbers surging, Soul-breaking Nails are depleted, urgently need reinforcements!"

"Lu Jiuyuan reporting, discovered a large number of unidentified Corpse Puppets in the lower area, under siege, enormous pressure."

Bad news poured in like a blizzard.

The situation, which had slightly eased with the arrival of Liu San and his men, instantly took a sharp turn downward again.

Wei Banmeng’s smile vanished instantly, her brows furrowed tightly.

"Bauhinia Association’s main force has arrived!"

She quickly judged, "Old Chu, Liu San, integrate your forces immediately! Follow me! Support Lin Yu and Su Wanqing’s direction! Speed!"

Chu Kuanglan and Liu San responded simultaneously without hesitation: "Yes!"

Chu Kuanglan swung his Giant Sword and was ready to follow in Wei Banmeng’s footsteps.

Liu San also immediately turned to call the brothers.

Just then, Liu San suddenly remembered something, hurriedly shouted towards Wei Banmeng and Chu Kuanglan’s backs: "Wait! Sister Meng! Brother Chu! There’s another thing!"

Both paused in their tracks, turned to look at him.

Liu San said quickly: "When we came in, we ran into people from Lingxiao Association at the front plaza. As many as four to five hundred, all elite, led by Old Ghost! But as soon as they came in, they seemed to be very familiar with this place, directly headed into several passages deep inside, very fast, disappeared in the blink of an eye. We aren’t familiar with the inside, couldn’t catch up, don’t know where they’ve gone."

"Lingxiao Association?"

Wei Banmeng slightly furrowed her brows.

Since driving away the six major forces, Lingxiao Association hadn’t been managed.

This operation, there was no intention of involving any of the seven major forces.

What are the people from Lingxiao Association doing here voluntarily!?

...

Deep in the Blood-colored Space.

Eight figures completely enveloped in thick black liquid surrounded Fang Qingyu in the center.

Empty gray eyes locked tightly on the central target.

At that moment, in front of Fang Qingyu.

The almost indissoluble blood-red mist.

Like a curtain being slowly drawn aside by a hand covered in the same writhing black liquid.

A figure cloaked entirely in a broad black robe, walked silently out over the sticky ground.

He stopped outside the circle.

Across the swirling blood mist, facing Fang Qingyu in the distance.

The shadow of the hood obscured his face.

Only a mass of writhing black liquid could be seen.
