The Legacy System

Out of the three, Master Huo Tie seemed to make his decision quickly, as he immediately said,

"Well gentlemen you know what they say, the early bird gets the food first! Now if you allow me, I am going to join this battle!"

With that said, he made a sign towards his people and immediately jumped in help of Cui Xie. No one knew why he was doing so, or what potential he saw in Cui Xie, but the fact he acted first was enough.

The other two Masters were in a disarray of thoughts at the moment, as they didn't know what to actually do.

The best and safest choice would be to wait for some time, but if they waited for too long then their gains would be too low from this mess.

"What are we going to do Mayor!?"

"We!?"

"Come on, my department is under you, and I can't move without the permission of the Mayor now, can I?"

"You say some interesting stuff Police Director! Well, I am giving you the freedom to do as you please in this matter!"

"Tche~!"

"Hmph~!"

Once the common enemy disappeared these old things would turn to their default settings trying to benefit from each other and seek their best benefits.

Eric had already expected something like this to happen. In fact, his greatest surprise could be said to be Master Huo Tie's participation from the start.

He had thought that the old man would take a little more time to actually enter the fray. But this just made things easier and better for him.

As he was thinking like that, the first wave of the Weng family's desperate attack reached Cui Xie's forces, and at the helm were the old man, and Weng's Family Head Weng Hao.

The four generals behind Cui Xie had immediately used their RPGs to cause damage to the two reckless warriors, but that wasn't enough to put them down.

Especially that old man seemed even more stubborn than normal and was using the last dregs of his vitality at a fast rate in order to block all the RPG attacks towards Weng Hao.

It was clear that he was opening a path for Weng Hao so that he could deal a critical blow to Cui Xie, or even better yet kill him in one blow.

He had to kill Cui Xie fast, in order to not give those other guys a chance to sneak around and help him, otherwise, the Weng family would be on the losing side.

With that newfound morale after Weng Hao personally took the Blood Exhaustion Pill, the Weng Family members were like starving wolves in front of the Cui Xie's forces.

But still, if the Mayor and Director of Police joined the fray as well, then the Weng family forces would be under a great disadvantage, no matter how desperately they fought, they would still be outnumbered.

Sooner or later they were going to completely use their vitality, and die. More and more members of the family would be needed to join the battle.

Even if they won, the consequences and casualties would be just too big, and they would never be able to benefit from this rebellion.

They would only be helping Gao Jixie, as the only remaining strong force in the Longgang City. For that reason, Weng Hao had to take care of Cui Xie as soon as he could.

On the other hand, Cui Xie seemed to have understood that as well, as he didn't wait on his sport for the attack to arrive, but he actually started running back while letting the stage to his generals and old Ma.

Such a move was completely unexpected, as no one thought that Cui Xie was actually a scaredy-cat that would run away from the battle.

But something weird happened, seeing Cui Xie run behind, Weng Hao who had now lost his precious shield, that was the old man, jumped past the generals and old Ma to follow behind Cui Xie.

Cui Xie didn't need to turn his head around to actually know that Weng Hao was after him, as he had 'eyes in the sky' so he just kept running away and getting out of the crowd of his people.

The moment he did so he was faced with the upcoming reinforcements of Master Huo Tie, and his people, so he was forced to change his direction a bit.

He didn't want to use Master Huo Tie and his people as a shield against Weng Hao, as there were better-suited candidates for that.

With those thoughts in his mind, he quickly made his way towards the Mayor, and the Director of Police, that were still in confusion about what to do.

Both of them understood Cui Xie's intention in running towards them, especially when they saw the angry Weng Hao chasing after him, as they started screaming,

"Cui Xie don't come this way! Bastard, change direction!"

"Change direction, we can't deal with that monster!"

"Come on guys, we are partners! Partners are supposed to help each other in difficult times!"

Saying that Cui Xie didn't stop or change direction, quite on the contrary he increased his speed towards them.

It was quite a surprise that Weng Hao wasn't able to catch this guy, despite having the strength and stats of someone that was infinitely close to the next level.

Well, the reason for that was another hole in Eric's heart, as he had bought a Haste Talisman from his Legacy System for that guy to use.

After seeing their strength, and the way that Young Master Cui Tao used them, Eric had thought that he had underestimated these things that were lying around in his shop, and he started to buy more.

This was a test for these Talismans if they were truly helpful or not, and the truth was that the experiments were more than successful.

Just a level 2 Haste Talisman could help Cui Xie keep his distance from Weng Hao despite being much weaker than him.

"Change direction or we will shoot!"

"Change direction or we will shoot too!"

The two old fogies on the helm of their forces seemed to be too angry at Cui Xie's actions, and plan so they decided to actually threaten him.

"What are you guys talking about, we are partners of an extremely precious trade. There is no way that you are going to shoot at your little brother!"

Even though Cui Xie was saying those words with an innocent and naïve tone, the two fogies could understand the relaying meaning.

'You two can't shoot me, or even risk my life! The deal between us dies with me!'

Even if they had 100 times the guts and wish to actually shoot at Cui Xie at that moment, they would still not shoot at him.

As they were contemplating on this situation, Cui Xie came running and passed between the two with a simple acrobatic trick, surpassing them and entering through the formations of their forces.

Those guys would never dare to shoot or fight against Cui Xie without the clear order from their Masters, so Cui Xie was able to go through quite easily.

"Weng Hao, we have no intention to fight with you, we are going to open you a path to continue following that brat!"

"Hahaahahaha~! Then open up!"

In fact, Weng Hao wanted to scream at the two of them and say that he wasn't going to let them out of this either, but he couldn't right now.

As a matter of fact, he thought of a better option, as he saw those guys open the path ahead of him.

Seeing that, he couldn't help but laugh inside, as he increased his speed to once again close the distance between him and Cui Xie.

But the moment that he surpassed the two big bears in front of him, he started attacking left and right the little ones behind them.

His hands suddenly changed shape, or at least so it was looked as they were covered in a dark light eagle claw, that he started swiping left and right.

It was the strength of an infinitely close Realm 3 being, against some small fries that hadn't even surpassed the first Realm.

It was too one-sided, as these weaklings were left with no other choice but to die under Weng Hao's attacks.

The Mayor and the Director of Police were left stupefied for a moment before they finally regained their clarity as their people were dying under Weng Hao's claws.

"Weng Hao~!"

"You mindless beast~!"

They were both enraged at the actions of this guy as they immediately jumped in attack towards him, as the Mayor's hand seemed to expand and turn into a bear claw.

While the Police Director's leg started to change shape and turned similar to that of a crane, as they both zoomed on their targets, one the head while the other the abdomen.

'Crackk…, Crackkk~!'

Unfortunately, they weren't in their best shape, as they hadn't escaped from their torture before long, and Weng Hao had taken a Blood Exhaustion Pill.

While their attacks were strong, they were nowhere close to Weng Hao's defense and strength, so their attacks surmounted to nothing but slapping the surface of the water to actually wet themselves.

Not only didn't they cause injury or damage to Weng Hao, but they even suffered his counterattack, as their palm, and leg were cracked and almost broken.

Weng Hao was even ready to follow up his attack, and be over with them, but at that moment Cui Xie appeared behind him, landing a cheap kick while taunting him,

"Come on old man, you were supposed to follow me, what are you doing here?"
