The young generation of the Zhong family had all stepped forward.
Zhong Shan, despite his age, was willing to stand at the forefront.
What about them?
Thinking of this, everyone assumed a united front.
They prepared to charge out.
"We'll do it!"
"That's right!"
"Old Master, you should retreat!"
"We'll cover you!"
"We're going all out!"
"With so many of us, we can definitely cover your retreat!"
...
They all spoke one after another.
Most of them were filled with righteous indignation, their eyes red, ready to fight to the death.
"Old Master, please retreat!"
"Leave this to us, brothers!"
Hearing this, Zhong Shan smiled calmly, "You are no match for them, and staying here is futile. Just leave it to me!"
Gradually, everyone began to grasp the unspoken meaning.
Did the Old Master have something else in mind?
Could he hold them back?
How could that possibly be?
He was an old man, after all!
If he could hold them back, wouldn't they, the younger generation, become a laughingstock?
Thinking of this, they still couldn't quite believe it, their faces contorted with doubt.
"Old Master, this..."
Zhong Shan's expression was blank, and he shouted again, "Alright, enough talk, withdraw!"
"Leave this place to me!"
At this moment, Zhong Wen couldn't hold back, "Dad, that's absolutely not possible. How old are you, and how can you possibly stop them?"
"Let... let us do it!"
"Yes... yes!"
"In this situation, how can we let you take the lead?"
"We... we can't do it either!"
They spoke one after another.
Hearing this, Tang Long narrowed his eyes and sneered coldly, "You guys are truly ridiculous, actually arguing about who goes first! Let me tell you, none of you will leave here alive!"
"Also, not a single one of you will be allowed to leave!"
"Da Shan, make your move!"
Da Shan nodded and accepted the order...
At this moment, Zhong Shan, ignoring everyone's objections, stepped forward.
He leaned on his walking stick.
It was at this very moment that Zhong Shan's aura suddenly shifted.
He gave off a feeling of being a master.
Tang Long was also startled in his heart. It seemed the Zhong Shan before him was truly unusual, though he couldn't pinpoint why. He coldly shouted, "Old man, since you're seeking death, I'll give you the chance to send you to the afterlife!"
Zhong Shan ignored him and instead roared at the Zhong family members, "What are you standing around for? Hurry and withdraw!"
"Everyone, obey and act!"
This was Zhong Shan's stance.
"Leave none behind..." Tang Long roared again. To be honest, he was starting to lose his patience. He felt the old man, with his frail bones, was being too presumptuous.
Da Shan and the others all charged forward at this moment.
Seeing this, Zhong Shan directly met them, brandishing his walking stick, as if it were a peerless weapon.
His walking stick swept out in an arc, and two martial artists in the early Internal Energy realm were struck in the legs and fell to the ground.
This scene happened so quickly that it shocked everyone.
Looking at Zhong Shan, an old man, his earlier strike had been powerful and forceful.
Tang Long's heart trembled. He frowned... just how strong had this old man become? Since when?
Hiss...
How could this be possible?
Even the Zhong family members were stunned, their minds buzzing. Old Zhong had been hiding his strength?
This...
Zhong Shan then added, "I told you to leave, so leave. I'll handle this!"
