Both sides were skilled fighters, and they knew that today's confrontation would likely not end well, so neither wasted time with unnecessary words and immediately engaged in battle.
Liu Fei's moves were extremely fierce, while Liu Lao's techniques were even more composed. As they clashed, it was as if they were chess opponents, each showcasing their lifelong skills.
Both were masters of the same level, so it was clear that neither could easily gain the upper hand. However, the Hong Family and Qian Bang had come prepared. Their combined target was Liu Lao and Lin Feng. At this moment, Lin Feng was not present. Although Liu Lao and Liu Fei fought evenly, their opponents had one more Inner Strength Expert than the Liu Family.
In a battle between experts, victory or defeat often hinges on small details. Now that the opponents had an additional Inner Strength Expert, this detail quickly led to the Liu Family's downfall.
At this moment, although Liu Lao was still entangled with Liu Fei, the housekeeper had already been injured.
Suddenly, the pressure on Liu Lao increased significantly, causing him to become somewhat disoriented in his attacks.
With the housekeeper injured, Liu Lao had to divide his attention to care for him, which exposed many vulnerabilities on their side.
"Bang..." Liu Lao unleashed his strongest attack against Liu Fei without holding back. Liu Fei had no choice but to take the blow head-on.
"Retreat... everyone retreat!" The previous attack from Liu Lao had caused his Internal Energy to become chaotic. Although he forced Liu Fei to give his all in defense, his own strength also dissipated. He quickly shouted to the team.
"Yes..." The members of the Liu Family were struggling to hold on. Now that Liu Lao ordered a retreat, they naturally followed his command and withdrew in an orderly manner. This was the Liu Family's territory; they held the advantage of location. When retreating, they ensured there was a safe path left behind.
Thanks to their prior preparations, Liu Lao managed to retreat smoothly to the second defensive line of the Liu Family.
"Old buddy, are you injured?" Upon reaching the second defensive line, Liu Lao finally had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, when he established the Liu Family Village, he had made some considerations for defense against external threats; otherwise, they wouldn't even have had a moment to catch their breath. Seeing that the housekeeper was injured, he asked with concern.
"I'm fine; I can still move." The housekeeper was seriously injured but had a fiery temperament and would not easily admit defeat. Moreover, he knew that at such a time, he could not afford to fall; otherwise, morale would plummet and the Liu Family might lose their fighting spirit entirely.
Liu Lao glanced at the butler, understanding a bit of his old comrade's thoughts, and sighed as he continued to observe everything in the surroundings. Now that the butler was injured, it was like losing his right hand, and he needed to be more cautious.
"Indeed, he's an old fox. The defense system of Liu Family Village is quite impressive," Liu Fei said to Hong Jin, looking at the completely retreated Liu Family army.
"Yes, I've known him for so many years, but I never heard that the Liu Family had such preparations. It seems this old fox had already made plans when he established Liu Family Village. I hadn't heard anything about it all these years," Hong Jin agreed, with his last remark sounding more like an explanation, indicating he also didn't know that the Liu Family had such a defense system.
"It's not surprising that Hong Laodi doesn't know. The design of Liu Family Village itself is meant for life-saving in critical moments; it's normal for you not to be aware. Moreover, after all these years, only Hong Laodi could force the Liu Family to bring out their life-saving Assassin weapon. It wouldn't be a bad story if it got out," Liu Fei said, naturally believing that Hong Jin was unaware of the Liu Family's defense system. He quickly reassured him; no matter how much he looked down on Hong Jin, now that they were comrades in arms, he shouldn't ruin this temporary friendship over trivial matters.
"Hehe... Brother Liu knows how to comfort people. This was my oversight," Hong Jin replied, giving Liu Fei face, knowing that Liu Fei wouldn't blame him—at least not now.
"Alright, we've already mobilized our forces today; we can't just retreat like this. Rally everyone to boost morale again; breaking through the second line of defense of the Liu Family is crucial. What do you think, Hong Laodi?" After comforting Hong Jin, Liu Fei continued speaking. He naturally hoped to resolve the situation with the Liu Family as quickly as possible to avoid prolonged complications.
"Yes, I completely agree." Like Liu Fei, Hong Jin was even more afraid of failure because he was already in a difficult position. If he failed, Liu Fei could return to City B as the leader of Qian Bang, but Hong Jin would have to face attacks from the Liu Family and other families in City A. He knew he probably wouldn't be able to stay in City A either.
"Everyone listen up! Charge! We must take down the Liu Family tonight!" Hong Jin shouted.
"Brothers of Qian Bang, charge!" Liu Fei also encouraged morale at the right moment.
In an instant, a vast crowd continued their assault on the second line of defense of the Liu Family.
"Master, the enemy is attacking again. What should we do? Should we fight back?" A member of the Liu Family stepped forward to report the situation while suggesting a course of action as he watched the CCTV footage.
When had members of the Liu Family ever been so humiliated and beaten back like this? As members of the Liu Family, they naturally had the honor expected of them; hiding and defending like this was a slap in their faces.
"Retreat! Withdraw towards Back Mountain..." After pondering for a moment, Liu Lao issued an order that left the members of the Liu Family feeling somewhat embarrassed.
“Master, we of the Liu Family are not afraid of death; we will fight them!” In an instant, the members of the Liu Family were filled with excitement, each one thumping their chests and shouting.
“Hmph... The reason they are attacking head-on is because they fear our Liu Family and Back Mountain. If you rush out now, you will only be depleting the living strength of the Liu Family. Yes, you may feel heroic charging into battle, and even if you die, you might think it noble. But what about those loved ones at Back Mountain? They are still waiting for us to protect them. If we fall, the enemy's scheme will succeed.” At such a critical moment, Liu Lao shouted loudly. He had sensed something unusual about the Hong Family's attack today and realized there were indeed some issues.
“Yes, Master is right. I know you all love the Liu Family, and I love the Liu Family too. But how did our Liu Family come to be? It was established by Master, who loves the Liu Family more than any of us. Listen to him; those who are brave should take up their weapons to protect our loved ones in Liu Family Village and Back Mountain. Retreat…” The steward, experienced in handling large situations, also understood after hearing Liu Lao's words and stepped forward to shout.
After listening to Liu Lao and the steward, everyone felt it made a lot of sense. They nodded in agreement and began preparing to retreat.
Before long, the members of the Liu Family had reached Back Mountain, where they had defensive formations protecting them, increasing their chances of holding their ground.
Meanwhile, on Liu Fei's side, they quickly attacked the second line of defense and soon breached it. However, the members of the Liu Family had already taken everything they could carry and disappeared from their sight.
“Hong Laodi, it seems that not only is Liu Lao skilled in martial arts, but he also remains calm in a crisis. Come, let’s go to Back Mountain and see what mysteries lie there,” Liu Fei expressed admiration for Liu Lao's decision as he spoke to Hong Jin.
“Alright, let's go.” Hong Jin knew that consuming the Liu Family today would not be so easy to accomplish. But at this point, he could not afford to retreat; if he hesitated and allowed the Liu Family a chance to recover, he would not dare let them regain their strength.
“Grandpa, you’re here…” After arriving at Back Mountain, Liu Yanran immediately organized the people there to prepare. She waited at the gate for Grandpa's arrival and was filled with excitement upon seeing him; after all, she knew her loved ones were safe.
“Yan'er, this girl has indeed prepared well,” Liu Lao praised as he saw that the defenders at Back Mountain were methodically getting ready.
“Grandpa, don’t worry; I’m not a little child anymore. Steward Grandpa, what happened? Are you hurt?” Only then did Liu Yanran notice that Old Butler was limping on both legs and exclaimed in surprise.
“Miss Yan'er, it's nothing; just got bitten by them a bit; it's no big deal.” Old Butler was injured internally—serious for an Inner Strength Expert—but at this moment he could not show any signs of weakness and smiled as he spoke to Liu Yanran.
“Okay, Steward Grandpa, you mustn’t have any issues!” Liu Yanran believed him sincerely and nodded as she said this.
"It's nothing, girl, what could possibly happen to Grandpa?" the Old Butler continued to endure the pain as he spoke.
"By the way, Yan'er, have you found out who else attacked our Liu Family along with the Hong Family?" Liu Lao asked at this moment. He had been anxious to go out and fight earlier, and he had entrusted this matter to Liu Yanran.
"I found out. This person is Liu Fei. The information isn't very detailed, but he should know Lin Feng and has some connection with him. It seems he is probably targeting Lin Feng," Liu Yanran reported, her expression turning serious as she spoke.
"Oh, so this person is related to Lin Feng," Liu Lao said, stroking his white beard.
"I've been unsure whether to inform Lin Feng. You know what Lin Feng means to us, so I thought it would be better to wait until Grandpa arrives to discuss whether we should contact him," Liu Yanran continued.
"Yes, I understand your point. However, our Liu Family cannot confront them head-on this time. I estimate that the mountain defense formation can only hold them off for a while. We should inform Lin Feng; what he decides to do is up to him," Liu Lao commanded in such a critical moment of danger.
"Understood. Oh no... Grandpa, our signal in the back mountain has been blocked," Liu Yanran said after receiving Grandpa's permission and preparing to notify Lin Feng. However, after dialing his number, she realized there was no signal at all and quickly reacted.
"The Hong Family is quite swift in their actions..." Liu Lao was aware of the seriousness of the situation but knew he couldn't panic.
"It's my fault for considering other things in such chaos. If I had informed Lin Feng earlier, perhaps he would already be on his way here," Liu Yanran said with some regret.
"Yan'er, it's not your fault. In that case, let's send someone out to find Lin Feng and notify him," Liu Lao was not one to easily blame others. Moreover, he believed that Liu Yanran's actions were not wrong and made a decision immediately.
