Chapter 919 The Blade Is In My Hand
"Changle Chamber of Commerce, prepare to die!" Gao Chuhe stared at Master Ma Jiu and the others, speaking coldly.
"I didn't expect the Su family from the provincial capital to invite the Gao family. It is indeed surprising, but do you think your Gao family alone can resist my Changle Chamber of Commerce?"
With things having reached this point, Master Ma Jiu could not think further. He let out a cold snort.
They had come out in full force, and he had just observed that not many powerful individuals from the Gao family had arrived. With just Gao Guoqing, whom should he fear?
Gao Guoqing, standing beside them, looked at Master Ma Jiu as if he were an idiot. "Master Ma Jiu, I advise you to surrender obediently and cease your futile resistance."
"Your Gao family is too arrogant!"
Master Ma Jiu said to Gao Guoqing, "If your Old Master Gao were here, I might show some respect. But with just you, Gao Guoqing, hehe, do you think you're worthy?"
His words infuriated Gao Guoqing. However, there was some truth to what he said. He, Gao Guoqing, was indeed inferior to the Changle Chamber of Commerce that had come out in full force.
"Get out of the way now! Otherwise, don't blame my Changle Chamber of Commerce for falling out with you!" Master Ma Jiu shouted.
Just then, a panting voice sounded, "Good for you, Gao Chuhe, running so fast. Are you bullying me because I don't know martial arts?"
Murong Meng stood at the entrance of the garden, leaning against the wall, breathless. Her face was flushed, and she glared resentfully at Gao Chuhe.
Earlier, Gao Chuhe, relying on her speed, had left her far behind.
She was filled with hatred, wishing she knew martial arts.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been left behind.
Fortunately, she had arrived in time and hadn't been preempted.
Seeing Murong Meng, Gao Chuhe frowned and muttered with displeasure, "You caught up after all... Looks like I can't get the first move!"
However, for the current situation, Murong Meng's appearance was actually beneficial to them. Otherwise, they alone would not be able to stop Master Ma Jiu.
"There's no way you can shake me off!"
Murong Meng took a breath, glared at Gao Chuhe, and then turned to the forces of the Changle Chamber of Commerce. "Brothers, these are them, right? Now you can kill to your heart's content. Kill them all!"
"Yes!"
Behind her, the people of the Murong family shouted in unison, their voices like rumbling thunder.
"The Murong family..."
Seeing these people, Master Ma Jiu's expression darkened.
Why had the Murong family also come out in full force?
Especially when Master Ma Jiu saw the Three Elders of Murong, his legs began to tremble.
Why had the Murong family come out in full force!
Even the Three Elders of Murong had appeared!
At this point, how could he not see that the entire situation was a huge conspiracy!
"Wait!"
Master Ma Jiu suddenly shouted, "My esteemed guests, are you truly intent on becoming enemies with my Changle Chamber of Commerce? Let me tell you, if my Changle Chamber of Commerce is pushed to a corner and fights to the death, even if your two families survive, you will likely be severely weakened!"
He was not afraid of the Gao family's small contingent. Now that the Murong family was added, he had to be cautious.
He could only adopt a desperate strategy now.
The people of the Gao family and the Murong family both raised their eyebrows, looking at Master Ma Jiu.
What Master Ma Jiu said was indeed true. If the Changle Chamber of Commerce was truly determined to fight to the death, they would indeed have to pay a price.
However...
Were they the only ones?
"However, you don't need to be so nervous. Look, as long as you take a step back now and let us leave, I promise to send a great gift in the future!"
Master Ma Jiu's words were quite clever.
He had just spoken with gritted teeth, as if ready for a complete breakdown and a battle that would spill rivers of blood. Now, he was speaking softly, offering them an exit, displaying both toughness and gentleness.
If the Gao family and the Murong family were merely carrying out a mission and did not have such good relations with Chen Xuan, they might have simply taken the opportunity to let Master Ma Jiu go.
However, Master Ma Jiu completely failed to understand the current situation.
"What do you think?" Master Ma Jiu eagerly pressed.
This matter could not be delayed, and he could not wait any longer.
"I have already considered it!"
Murong Meng and Gao Chuhe said in unison.
"Then thank you!"
Master Ma Jiu cupped his fists in a bow, then waved to the people beside him, "Retreat!"
After speaking, he strode away.
"Did I say you could go?"
Gao Chuhe waved her hand, blocking Master Ma Jiu's path.
Master Ma Jiu's footsteps paused, and he was slightly taken aback. "Gao Chuhe, what do you mean?"
"I'm telling you, none of you are leaving today!"
Gao Chuhe said forcefully.
Master Ma Jiu gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead. "Are you truly intent on falling out with my Changle Chamber of Commerce?"
"Yes! If we fall out, so be it!" Gao Chuhe replied.
Murong Meng also said, "Even if our Murong family gives it our all, you won't be able to take Professor Long away!"
"Release Professor Long! Otherwise, we will show no mercy!"
The subordinates behind them shouted loudly, their voices booming like bells, soaring into the sky!
The rolling sound waves carried an immeasurable momentum, sweeping outwards!
Master Ma Jiu heard this and was greatly alarmed!
Were the Murong family and the Gao family crazy?
He was surprised because he didn't know how much the Gao family valued Chen Xuan, nor did he know that the Murong family was already under Chen Xuan's control!
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so shocked!
"Since you want to fall out, then I won't hold back!"
With things having reached this point, Master Ma Jiu could only grit his teeth and say.
Although he was not at an advantage now, as long as he could get Professor Long out, he could gain Su Ning's favor and make a comeback!
In an instant, the atmosphere became tense, filled with murderous intent!
It was as if a bomb was about to explode at any moment!
At this critical juncture, a loud voice suddenly rang out, "This is quite lively. My Bailong Chamber of Commerce wants to join in the fun!"
As the voice faded, figures began to rush in.
Each of them was burly and exuded a formidable aura!
Leading them was none other than Master Bai!
Behind him were all the elites of the Bailong Chamber of Commerce!
Of course, there was also a highly conspicuous figure, Bai Wushen!
"Bailong Chamber of Commerce? Bai Wushen?"
Seeing Master Bai and the others, Master Ma Jiu's heart sank halfway, his face turning ashen.
Indeed!
Chen Xuan's good relationship with the Bailong Chamber of Commerce was well-known. Yet, they hadn't appeared earlier. He had been wondering why the Bailong Chamber of Commerce hadn't come, and instead, the Gao family and the Murong family had.
"Master Ma Jiu, long time no see!"
Master Bai said with a smile.
"Yes, long time no see!" Master Ma Jiu replied with a dark face, grinding his teeth.
"Master Ma Jiu, if you lay down your arms and surrender immediately, we might consider sparing your Changle Chamber of Commerce!" Master Bai said with a smile.
The situation had completely reversed.
Master Ma Jiu said fiercely, "What right do you have to speak to me like that?"
Master Bai, after all, was one level below Master Ma Jiu. If it were Master Bai's father, perhaps he would have the right to speak with Master Ma Jiu. This made him extremely displeased.
"Regardless, the blade is in my hand now. I ask you, am I qualified or not?"
Master Bai raised the long saber in his hand and sneered.
Master Ma Jiu was so furious that he couldn't utter a single word.
Might makes right.
While Master Bai appeared calm and composed, his heart was brimming with joy.
Before, he couldn't even hold his head up in front of the head of the Assassin Hall. But now, he could directly converse with Master Ma Jiu, and in such a condescending manner!
It felt incredibly good!
Of course, he knew that all of this was thanks to Chen Xuan. Without Chen Xuan mobilizing so many forces, where would he have gained such standing?
