Chapter 258: Deep Schemes and Long-term Plans
The crowd surged like a tidal wave, shouting loudly as they pushed forward.
The city gate, which was not small to begin with, opened wide enough for a dozen tall horses to march side by side. However, as soon as the gates opened, experts from all directions rushed in, eager to be the first...
In the next moment—bam! They crashed into each other, jamming together into a solid mass!
The city gate remained open, but with hundreds of people crammed together, no one could get through at that moment. Instead, loud curses rang out, echoing through the skies.
“Your mother! Are you squeezing your ancestors?”
“Oh no, I’m being crushed to death, crushed to death…”
“Move aside, move aside, quickly!”
“Damn it, are you trying to squeeze me to death with that much effort…”
The most ridiculous sight was two burly men in the crowd, their faces covered in thick beards, who ended up being pushed together due to the crowd's pressure. They were surprisingly lifted above everyone else. Both men were red-faced, their beards nearly exploding, their bodies tightly pressed against each other, their noses almost touching, their mouths practically kissing…
With their mouths open, they began to share each other’s spit.
This explosive phenomenon occurring in front of so many eyes instantly sparked a burst of laughter. Although everyone was pressed tight and unable to move, they couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter, causing their stomachs to tighten and expand, increasing the pressure even more...
“This is the martial arts world! This is the martial artists!” Chu Yang observed the scene in front of him but didn’t laugh: “If this were an army, even with a million outside the city gate, such a situation wouldn’t occur! But these people total less than ten thousand, and they create such a joke…”
“A mob of misfits!” Gu Duxing provided an accurate assessment.
“Exactly! Compared to an army, martial artists are just a group of mob of misfits! Each person here has a cultivation level higher than that of ordinary soldiers! A single person can even deal with a squad of soldiers! However, if a thousand of these martial artists were to face off against a thousand trained soldiers, the ones who would die and be defeated would definitely be the martial artists! In fact, the loss among the soldiers would be minimal…”
Chu Yang spoke solemnly: “Thus, within the army, there is a saying: one martial artist is powerful, ten martial artists are terrifying; a hundred martial artists are inconsequential, and a thousand martial artists… they are simply a pile of meat waiting to be sliced!”
Gu Duxing pondered carefully and finally nodded in agreement.
“Therefore, martial artists are only suited for the martial arts world.” Chu Yang concluded: “Never expect them to accomplish anything significant!”
At this time, the crowd finally started to disperse at the city gate, eagerly rushing to enter Zhongzhou City. Each person's face was flushed, and they appeared as if the Heaven-asking Sword and Hades Blade were right in front of them, waiting for them to take…
Once the crowd had moved a significant distance, Chu Yang and Gu Duxing finally took steps towards the city.
After just a few steps, they saw two people rolling on the ground, trading fists, each one hitting the other, both struggling in the muddy ground outside the city…
It was the same two who had been “kissing” in the air moments ago; clearly, both felt extremely embarrassed…
Chu Yang chuckled, stepping around them to enter the city, and even from a distance, he could still hear the sounds of punches and kicks mixed with painful howls and curses from behind…
“Guess what those two are doing now?” Chu Yang smiled slightly.
“I guess… two of them must be visiting Diwu Qingrou with the jade token you scammed from them, while the other two should still be creating chaos…” Gu Duxing said confidently.
