Chapter 256: A Dark Night for Killing

"Brother Zhou, a Combat Team from abroad has come to the capital. This Combat Team is composed of fighting elites from various countries, with a total of eighteen members. It is said that among them, there are three experts with unfathomable Cultivation. Tonight, one of our Chinese Military's Soldier Kings fought one of them and was miserably defeated. And it is said that this fighting expert is not even in the top ten of this Combat Team. Tomorrow, our military experts have several more sparring matches with this Combat Team. I am worried that this time, our military has no experts who can contend with this Combat Team, so I would like to ask for your help."

General Qin said, "I know that you, Brother, are an expert and may not want to get involved in worldly affairs, but this time, you must save Face for your old brother and come to the capital to help."

"Brother, although I am a Cultivator, I am also a citizen of China. I am duty-bound when encountering such matters. I will immediately take a plane to the capital."

Zhou Lang did not ask anything else and immediately agreed to General Qin's request.

The old General was a man of iron backbone. If he hadn't been at his wits' end, he wouldn't have called him directly from Feiyun City, knowing that Feiyun City and the capital are thousands of miles apart.

But Zhou Lang could fully imagine that the old General was doing this to maintain China's reputation. China is a great nation and the birthplace of the Dao, so if it were humiliated in martial arts, it would be an unbearable thing.

Besides, this was clearly a probe by some foreign experts against the Chinese Military. If they felt that the Soldier Kings of the Chinese Military were not as powerful as legend had it, they would surely send many agents in the future to stir up trouble in China.

"It is already early morning, so it might be too late for you to buy a plane ticket. I will arrange for Secretary Lei Gang to send you to the Feiyun City Garrison Command, and send you to the capital by fighter jet. After you get off the plane, someone will be there to pick you up at the airport."

General Qin said. He had already arranged everything. It seemed that although he and Zhou Lang had not known each other for long, they were indeed friends across generations. He had long anticipated that Zhou Lang would be duty-bound to go to the capital.

"Okay." Zhou Lang agreed readily.

"Then we will discuss the specific matters when we meet in the capital. I will let Secretary Lei Gang arrange for someone to pick you up immediately," General Qin said. "I have already spoken to him about this matter."

Immediately, General Qin hung up the phone.

And in less than three minutes, Secretary Lei Gang's call came in.

"Mr. Zhou, where are you now?"

Lei Gang said on the phone. Previously, he usually called Zhou Lang 'Brother', but this time he changed his tone. He must have sensed from General Qin's attitude toward Zhou Lang that it was somewhat inappropriate for him to address Zhou Lang as a brother.

"I bought a Villa. The Villa is in Ming Garden," Zhou Lang said. "You can send someone here to pick me up."

"Then I will drive over myself to pick you up and take you to the military airport," Secretary Lei Gang said.

Zhou Lang wanted to be polite, but thinking about the urgency of this matter and China's reputation, he did not stand on ceremony.

A few minutes later, Zhou Lang carried a suitcase downstairs.

He called Li Mengxue, Zhao Xiaorou, Ivanova, Xiao Xi, Yamamoto Yuki, Poison Venerable, and the others over.

"General Qin has an urgent matter and wants me to go to the capital. I will be away for a few days. Xiao Xi, you will be fully responsible for the safety of these few days," Zhou Lang said simply. Time was pressing, and he didn't have much time to explain.

"Brother Lang, don't worry. With me here, the safety of everyone will definitely not have any problems."

Xiao Xi smiled slightly. Her Cultivation was even higher than Zhou Lang's, and recently she had reached the Peak of Foundation Establishment. Unless she encountered a Cultivator at the Golden Core level, no one would be her opponent.

Although Zhao Xiaorou, Yamamoto Yuki, and the others didn't say anything, they were secretly curious. They knew that Poison Venerable was already a Martial Arts Grandmaster, but Zhou Lang hadn't handed the heavy responsibility of safety to him, which showed that Xiao Xi's Cultivation must be above Poison Venerable's.

After the few of them spoke a few words, the sound of a car horn rang out outside the Villa.

Zhao Xiaorou and the others saw Zhou Lang out of the Villa. They saw that the person coming to pick up Zhou Lang was an Audi with a license plate consisting of a string of eights, and the person driving was even more extraordinary—it was the Secretary of the Feiyun City Municipal Committee, Secretary Lei Gang.

The Municipal Committee Secretary driving for Zhou Lang personally—few people would believe this if it were said out loud.

Zhao Xiaorou certainly knew about the relationship between Zhou Lang and General Qin, but the others were not clear about it. They felt shocked when they saw Secretary Lei Gang.

Soon, Zhou Lang got into Secretary Lei Gang's Audi and sped away into the night.

…

At the time Zhou Lang received General Qin's call, Hokkaido, Japan, was also not peaceful. Since the evening, the sky had been dark, with a feeling of black clouds pressing down on the city.

A elite team of one hundred men from the Kuroda Family set off quietly under the cover of night, heading for the headquarters of the Iga Clan ninja organization.

Leading this group of one hundred men was Musashi, the trusted subordinate of Kuroda Toshio. His mission tonight was to raid the headquarters of the Iga Clan ninja organization and destroy it in one fell swoop.

One hundred men and a motorcade of twenty vehicles sped through the dark night, quickly arriving at the foot of a mountain in the suburbs of Hokkaido.

This mountain was not high, but its Aura was very majestic. On this pitch-black night, it lay there like a crouching tiger.

This mountain was where the headquarters of the Iga Clan ninja organization was located. When the Iga Clan was at its most prosperous, it was said to have thousands of ninjas and had great power and influence in Japan. At that time, the Iga Clan ninja organization had its own mansion and could even influence the political landscape. However, with the decline of modern ninjas, this ninja organization had entered a state of semi-retirement, hiding in this mountain.

When the motorcade arrived at the foot of the mountain, Musashi ordered everyone to abandon their vehicles and proceed on foot, then sneaked toward the sentry posts at the entrance of the mountain pass under the cover of darkness.

"You two, go and take care of those two sentries!"

Musashi was already at the Peak of Master Cultivation. Although it was in the dark of night, he quickly discovered the two sentries hiding in a large tree. He made a gesture with his hands and gave the order to his subordinates.

Two elite men in black acted almost simultaneously. Their movements were swift but without making a sound as they approached the two sentries of the Iga Clan ninja organization. Judging by their skilled movements, they were very experienced.

Judging by their speed, they were actually experts at the Early Stage of Master. The two sentries of the Iga Clan ninja organization only had the Cultivation of Intermediate Martial Artists. The foundation of this Kuroda Family was indeed much stronger than the Iga Clan ninja organization.

Soon, the two men in black had sneaked under the large tree, but those two sentries still hadn't noticed.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

A dozen seconds later, two black throwing daggers shot towards the two sentries.

Before the sentries could even make a sound, they were hit in the throat, fell from the tree, and died on the spot.

Soon, the bodies of the two sentries were dragged into the dense forest. Musashi waved his hand and led his men along the mountain road toward the mountainside.

There were quite a few sentries along the way, but they couldn't stop the progress of Musashi and his men, and were easily taken out by Musashi's subordinates.

Soon, Musashi and his men arrived silently at the mountainside.

The mountainside was not as dark as the foot of the mountain because there were many buildings on the mountainside, and these buildings were lit up, as if there were many people living on this mountain.

In fact, this was the case. The headquarters of the Iga Clan usually had hundreds of people living there.

"Musashi-kun, where should we start?"

A murderous expert asked Musashi in a low voice.

"Look, that building with the brightest lights is where the Elders of the Iga Clan live, called the Elder Hall. Now that Yamamoto Yuki is not here, as long as we kill these Elders, the Iga Clan will become a dragon without a head. In that case, destroying the lair of the Iga Clan tonight will be an easy task."

On a large tree, Musashi pointed to the most magnificent building in front and said to his men. He seemed very confident about this operation.

"Musashi-kun is wise. Tonight is the night we follow Musashi-kun to make contributions." That expert and the others said immediately.

The force dispatched by the Kuroda Family this time was not the real elite. The leader was only Musashi, an outsider with no direct Bloodline of the Kuroda Family. However, Musashi was the confidant of the young Sect Master, Kuroda Toshio. He still had a certain prestige among the lower and middle levels of the Kuroda Family, and there were not a few people who flattered him.

"Everyone, tonight is our first operation to avenge the young Sect Master. We must strive for a complete victory and have a good start!"

Musashi drew the long sword in his hand and said, "Now everyone listen to my orders, follow me and storm into the Elder Hall of the Iga Clan."

Immediately, he took the lead, jumped down from the tree like a cheetah, and rushed toward the Elder Hall of the Iga Clan.

The location where Musashi was hiding was only two hundred meters away from the Elder Hall. Musashi led a large group of black-clad killers and arrived in the blink of an eye. After rushing to the front of the Elder Hall, one hundred long swords were drawn out in unison.

Kill!

Musashi let out a tiger's roar, and at the same time, he kicked the tightly closed door of the Elder Hall.

Boom!

With a loud noise, the door of the Elder Hall was kicked away by Musashi.

Musashi took the lead and led his men into the Elder Hall.

Musashi had long investigated the headquarters of the Iga Clan ninja organization. He already knew that most of the experts of the Iga Clan had gone to China with Yamamoto Yuki. Now, there were only about a dozen experts in the Elder Hall of its headquarters. If he wanted to destroy the headquarters of the Iga Clan ninja organization, as long as he killed the people in the Elder Hall, that would be an easy task.

Tonight was a dark night with a high wind, the best night for killing.

Although Musashi was arrogant, he knew that he would have to go through a bloody battle to defeat the people in the Elder Hall. However, after rushing into the Elder Hall, it was empty inside.

"Musashi-kun, the situation seems a bit wrong!"

An expert under Musashi said vigilantly. He held a long sword and searched everywhere in the hall of the Elder Hall, but only saw bright red candles lit everywhere in the hall, but there was not a single person.

"Could it be that Yamamoto Yuki knew she had offended our Hengdao School, and let her men run away in advance?" Musashi thought.

"Musashi, you want to kill everyone in our Iga Clan—it is simply wishful thinking. Today, this place will be your burial ground!"

Suddenly, an old voice came from a loudspeaker in the hall of the Elder Hall.

This voice was filled with boundless Killing Intent.
