Facing the intimidating Bloody Monk, the members on the side of Hong Alliance Seven Rudders exchanged glances, yet none dared to act. Especially Ao Wuchang, who simply avoided eye contact with everyone, pretending not to hear the words, and turned his head to one side.

"What? So many people, and you're afraid of just me?" The Bloody Monk leisurely walked towards Bai Wenhao. Bai Wenhao's face was suddenly filled with tension, unsure of what the Bloody Monk intended to do. He wanted to retreat but feared embarrassment, so he could only force himself to stand his ground. But everyone could see that he was very nervous at the moment.

With a calm expression, the Bloody Monk approached Bai Wenhao and casually extended a hand. Bai Wenhao had been on alert, and seeing the Bloody Monk reach out, he immediately retreated two steps to dodge the Bloody Monk's attack.

However, it was only after he withdrew that he realized the Bloody Monk had no intention of attacking him; instead, he extended a hand to help Cui Yulong and the Left Protector up from the ground.

"No need to be so afraid." The Bloody Monk glanced at Bai Wenhao and said, "For a person like you, I wouldn't bother with a sneak attack; I wouldn't lower myself to that!"

The Bloody Monk did not strike, yet Bai Wenhao's face turned scarlet under the watchful eyes, as he retreated several steps, clearly intimidated by the Bloody Monk's prowess. Although he was not injured, his dignity was utterly lost. Even if he didn't fight against the Bloody Monk today, once the matter spread, he could no longer maintain his standing outside.

"Bloody Monk, don't be too arrogant. Do you really think we're afraid of you, the Hong Alliance Seven Rudders?" Bai Wenhao gritted his teeth and said angrily, "How dare you send people to spy on our Seven Families' secrets? How can our Seven Families tolerate you?"

Bai Wenhao knew that engaging the Bloody Monk alone was a fool's errand. So, he included the Seven Families in his words, clearly intending to rally others to join him in dealing with the Bloody Monk.

"Indeed, I sent people to spy on the secrets of your Seven Families, so what?" The Bloody Monk released the acupoints on Left Protector and Cui Yulong, turning his gaze to Bai Wenhao, "If you're not satisfied, come over and fight me. All of you, come together, don't come one by one; I have other things to do!"

"Such bravado!"

"Bloody Monk, do you really see yourself as one of the Five Unmatches of the World?"

"Even the Five Unmatches wouldn't boast such arrogance!"

The crowd clamored repeatedly, yet none dared to step forward. No one wanted to engage first, as the Bloody Monk's power was indeed overwhelming, pressuring everyone immensely. Though their mouths shouted fiercely, who truly dared to step forward? It's always the first one out that gets knocked back.

"Enough of this nonsense, will you fight or not?" The Bloody Monk said impatiently.

The crowd exchanged glances once more yet dared not speak of fighting; the Bloody Monk's majesty was too overwhelming indeed.

"If not, then shut up for the Buddha Master!" The Bloody Monk coldly swept his gaze across the crowd, finally landing on Bai Wenhao, "Bai, bring the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade to me!"

Earlier, when Cui Yulong was captured, the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade was taken by these people and was not in Bai Wenhao's possession.

"What does it have to do with me? The Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade isn't with me!" Bai Wenhao replied coldly.

"Just because it isn't with you, doesn't mean you can't bring it to me!" The Bloody Monk coldly stared at Bai Wenhao, "Bring me the Blade immediately, or I'll cripple you first!"

Bai Wenhao's heart thumped wildly, yet he knew very well that he absolutely could not hand over the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade this time. Earlier, when the Bloody Monk didn't strike and he retreated a step, he had already lost face. Now if he handed over the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade to the Bloody Monk, he would have no position in the Seven Families, losing dignity that he could not afford.

"Bloody Monk, don't push me too far!" Bai Wenhao said through gritted teeth, "When Helian was here, we didn't see you flaunting. You come here to stir trouble when Helian is away; if you're capable, why don't you confront Helian?"

"You're right, I'm bullying you while Helian Tiehua is not here, and so what?" The Bloody Monk coldly stated, "You dared to capture my family members; even if Buddha Master bullies you, what of it? If you won't fetch it, I'll take it myself!"

The Bloody Monk spoke, and suddenly took a step like an arrow, charging towards Bai Wenhao. His speed was extremely fast, and everyone only saw a red shadow pounce forward. Bai Wenhao was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he quickly retreated. However, he knew very well that his speed, compared to the Bloody Monk's, was not worth mentioning, and there was no way he could escape.

"Stop him!" a man shouted loudly, leading a charge towards the Bloody Monk, striking at the Bloody Monk with a swinging arm.

Several other top fighters were on guard. Although none of them wanted to confront the Bloody Monk, since the Bloody Monk was attacking Bai Wenhao now, they had no choice but to intervene. Otherwise, if Bai Wenhao got injured under their watchful eyes, they would lose face.

Five top-level masters lunged at the same time, including Ao Wuchang, though Ao Wuchang didn't dare get too close because he knew the Bloody Monk's strength. These five people used their most powerful techniques to attack the Bloody Monk. They knew that with their strength, it was impossible to injure the Bloody Monk; they merely wanted to besiege We and save Zhao, forcing the Bloody Monk to let Bai Wenhao go.

"Good timing!" Facing the onslaught of five masters, the Bloody Monk showed no intention of retreating and continued charging towards Bai Wenhao. However, at the same time, both his fists struck forward, hitting the two people in front.

These two were skilled but far inferior to the Bloody Monk. When their fists collided with the Bloody Monk's, they were directly knocked away. At the same time, the Bloody Monk swept his right leg across, kicking back the two people coming from both sides.

In one breath, the Bloody Monk repelled four of the five top fighters. The last one was Ao Wuchang. Seeing the unfavorable situation, he tried to turn and retreat, but it was too late. The Bloody Monk extended his arm, grabbed his shoulder, and squeezed it. Ao Wuchang felt powerless, as if he were a toy in the Bloody Monk's hand, and was thrown straight at Bai Wenhao.

Bai Wenhao had retreated two steps at this time, thinking he was safe, but unexpectedly, the Bloody Monk threw Ao Wuchang at him like a hidden weapon. Seeing Ao Wuchang rushing towards him at high speed, he was startled and quickly reached out to stop Ao Wuchang's body.

"Hurry up, move away! Don't catch!" At that moment, a loud shout suddenly came from a distance.

Bai Wenhao was stunned, not understanding what the shout meant. But as Ao Wuchang's body approached, he caught Ao Wuchang with both hands. As his hands touched Ao Wuchang's, he finally understood why he was told not to catch. The impact of Ao Wuchang's collision was terrifyingly strong. It felt like he was hit by a truck, both his arms fractured, and his body flew backward, landing seven or eight meters away. Before he could steady himself, a mouthful of blood spewed from his throat, his strength suddenly drained, and he collapsed to the ground.

Seeing such a scene, everyone around was dumbfounded, their eyes wide with shock, especially the members of the Seven Families. A moment ago, five great masters had besieged the Bloody Monk simultaneously but were all repelled by him in a single breath, and he even managed to injure a sixth person. The Bloody Monk's strength was terrifying! How could his power be so overwhelming? Could it be that his strength has surpassed the Five Uniques of the World?

The Bloody Monk ignored the crowd's astonishment, slowly turned, and looked at the few people rushing over from a distance, saying aloud: "General Helian, you finally arrived!"

Hearing this voice, the Seven Families members remembered that someone had stopped Bai Wenhao from catching Ao Wuchang earlier. The one who spoke was actually Helian Tiehua?

Everyone turned their heads and saw a few people rushing over from a distance. Leading them was a tall man, like an iron tower, unstoppable, and majestic like a heavenly god!

Who else but Great General Helian Tiehua could have such presence!

No one can resist the General of Meng District!

The appearance of the Bloody Monk earlier had made everyone on the scene, members of the Seven Families, feel as if a huge stone was pressing down on them, sinking their hearts. But now, with the arrival of Great General Helian Tiehua, everyone's gloom and despair were dispelled, transforming all helplessness into hope, and everyone's mood became excited and thrilled. It felt like children bullied outside finally seeing a guardian who could stand up for them. At that moment, many were so moved that they were almost in tears; the general's majesty was fearsome!

Great General Helian Tiehua's speed was extremely fast, appearing casual in his movements, but within a few breaths, he had arrived at the scene, standing directly in front of the Bloody Monk.

"General Helian, you finally arrived!" Facing Great General Helian Tiehua, the Bloody Monk showed no sign of surprise, maintaining a calm expression as he said, "If you didn't come sooner, I'd have dismantled your estate!"

"I heard the Sect Leader came, how could I not be here?" Helian Tiehua turned to look at the members of the Seven Families over there, frowning slightly, and said, "I don't know how my Seven Families brothers offended the Sect Leader that he wanted to punish them like this?"

"The Great General's words are pleasant to the ear, unlike some who start with disrespect without distinguishing right from wrong, treating my disciples with contempt!" The Bloody Monk casually glanced at Zhou Junhan and Bai Wenhao; it was precisely these two who had captured the Left Protector and Cui Yulong earlier, so he had injured them both.
