With everyone's joint efforts and collaboration, the fire in this stone-structured building was quickly brought under effective control.
All eyes turned to Shi Feiyang, filled with deep respect and admiration for him.
As the fire was confined to the Unity Hall, the villains of Snow Eagle Castle and the outlaws from the Eagle Beak Rock Sub-Branch of Divine Water Palace dared not set fire to the other buildings of Snow Eagle Castle, just as Shi Feiyang had anticipated.
Wu Zhong gently patted Shi Feiyang's shoulder and said approvingly, "Brother Shi, you truly are extraordinarily wise! Worthy of your reputation as a man of superior strategy! Indeed, those villains did not dare burn down their ancestral home."
Xiao Lingling also voiced her agreement, saying, "Indeed, Brother Shi, your courageous actions just now are truly admirable!"
Liu Guihua gazed at Shi Feiyang with deep affection, proud to have such a wise and brave man.
Her eyes glimmered with infinite love and admiration for Shi Feiyang, knowing that no matter what difficulties and challenges they faced, Shi Feiyang could always lead them out of the predicament with his wisdom and courage, towards a bright future.
In this sudden fire incident, Shi Feiyang's calmness and decisiveness showcased his exceptional leadership skills. His foresight and precise analysis of the enemy's mindset forced the villains of Snow Eagle Castle and the Eagle Beak Rock Sub-Branch of Divine Water Palace to refrain from acting rashly, ultimately watching helplessly as their plot crumbled.
The praise from Wu Zhong and the recognition from Xiao Lingling deeply reflected Shi Feiyang's prestige and influence within the Heroic Sakura Association.
However, Shi Feiyang humbly replied with a smile, "Your praises are indeed excessive; I merely fulfilled my duty. However, next, the Divine Water Palace, the largest faction in the Liaodong Region, might choose to support Snow Eagle Castle's thieves, and we may face some challenges."
Upon hearing this, Liu Dayou and others' expressions suddenly turned serious.
Liu Guihua clenched her fists and said angrily, "Such villainous behavior is truly excessive; we must not allow them to succeed!"
Wu Zhong also nodded, his gaze firm, agreeing, "Indeed, we must devise a strategy to annihilate them."
Shi Feiyang surveyed everyone present, feeling a warm surge in his heart.
Therefore, Shi Feiyang calmly stated, "Rest assured, everyone, I have already devised an initial plan. Our primary task is to strengthen Snow Eagle Castle's defenses, ensuring the villains cannot invade easily. Then, we will seize the opportunity to deliver a heavy blow to the Divine Water Palace, making them realize our strength. Now, please laboriously dig out a tunnel indoors, while I will stand guard outside." Under Shi Feiyang's command, everyone swiftly took action.
They divided the work clearly, with some responsible for reinforcing Snow Eagle Castle's defense structures, while others started digging a tunnel indoors.
At the outskirts of Snow Eagle Castle, the raging flames were already extinguished by the villains of Snow Eagle Castle like Wu Rushan, Wu Chi, Wu Wei, and others.
Indeed, this was their ancestral home, and they really did not dare burn it down.
Nonetheless, the villains like Wu Rushan, Wu Chi, and Wu Wei still lurked in the shadows.
At this moment, seeing Shi Feiyang stepping out from the castle, they promptly drew their bows and arrows, launching a fierce attack on Shi Feiyang. In an instant, the arrows rained down densely like a storm, whizzing through the air, overwhelming Shi Feiyang.
Facing this sudden attack, Shi Feiyang responded with nothing but a disdainful smile, then promptly executed his marvelous lightweight technique "Deep Concealment of Body and Name," his body technique exceptionally agile, ghost-like, weaving effortlessly through the dense rain of arrows.
Each arrow could only graze past Shi Feiyang, unable to cause him any harm.
Having understood the principle of capturing the leader first, Shi Feiyang's eyes were as cold as ice, his figure like a tiger descending the mountain, instantly pouncing towards Wu Rushan.
Seeing this, Wu Rushan's face turned pale with terror, hurriedly swinging the long saber in his hand, attempting to resist Shi Feiyang's attack.
However, Shi Feiyang mercilessly executed a move "Inversion of Mountains and Rivers" from the Tathagata Divine Palm, striking the enemy with hidden force.
In a moment, it seemed as if heaven and earth fell into darkness, as if the sun and moon lost their light.
Shi Feiyang's palm technique was incredibly fierce, each strike carrying the force of overturning mountains and seas, forcing Wu Rushan to retreat repeatedly, unable to counterattack. Right then, Wu Wei hurriedly wielded his saber, attacking Shi Feiyang's back, attempting to rescue Wu Rushan with a strategy of besieging the enemy to save the ally.
However, Shi Feiyang sidestepped with ease, dodging Wu Wei's sneak attack, simultaneously countering with a palm strike to Wu Wei's chest.
Bang! Wu Wei felt a tremendous force approaching, his whole being struck as if by a heavy blow, spewing fresh blood, and flying backward.
Witnessing this scene, Wu Rushan was extremely frightened, knowing that if he didn't fight back immediately, both might meet their end on the spot.
Thus, he took a deep breath, swung his long saber again, launching a fierce offensive against Shi Feiyang.
His saber flashes like lightning, overwhelming. Shi Feiyang, on the other hand, gracefully dodged Wu Rushan's attacks while waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. Suddenly, he leaped, delivering a palm that struck Wu Rushan's shoulder.
"Aiya!" Wu Rushan felt intense pain, screamed miserably, and the long saber in his hand involuntarily flew from his grip.
Just then, Wu Wei stood up with difficulty, wielding a short saber, launching an attack on Shi Feiyang from the side.
Shi Feiyang sneered disdainfully, cursing, "Overestimating yourself! Hmph!" His figure flickered again, astonishingly appearing before both simultaneously, striking both with his palms simultaneously on their chests.
Bang bang—two loud noises, and everything went black for Wu Rushan and Wu Wei, as if the world collapsed instantly.
Their bodies were flung away like kites with broken strings, heavily falling to the ground, unable to move.
Wu Chi and Bazatai hastily brandished their sabers and charged, attempting to rescue Wu Chi's father Wu Rushan and cousin Wu Wei.
However, Shi Feiyang quickly grabbed Wu Wei, sprinting towards Snow Eagle Castle, kicking the two heavy iron doors with one foot, pulling the door bolt with one hand, then dragging Wu Wei straight to Liu Guihua's bedroom.
Liu Guihua and others hurriedly threw down their iron shovels and picks, rushed into the room, eager to understand the situation.
Shi Feiyang took out a bottle of "Tianshan Snow Lotus Water" and a Shaolin treasure "Lesser Returning Pill" from his arms, handing them to Xiao Lingling, instructing, "Quickly treat her, she must not die. Her survival is crucial to us. We must use her to dismantle the dark forces of Snow Eagle Castle. After all, she is the Young Master and can exercise the power on behalf of her father."
Xiao Lingling nodded slightly, taking the "Tianshan Snow Lotus Water" and "Lesser Returning Pill," then began treating Wu Wei.
Liu Guihua gently caressed her chest, letting out a sigh of relief, secretly worrying earlier whether Shi Feiyang had any inappropriate feelings towards Wu Wei. Now she understood that Shi Feiyang wanted to use Wu Wei, hehe, very good!
Shi Feiyang turned and walked out of Liu Guihua's bedroom, heading to the Unity Hall.
At this moment, Wu Chi, Bazatai, and others broke through the windows and entered, shouting loudly, brandishing their blades, launching an attack on Shi Feiyang.
Shi Feiyang's face showed a trace of a cold smile, a contemptuous light flashing in his eyes, disdainfully said, "Hmph! Here to die again?" As soon as the words fell, he quickly drew the Myanmar Saber from his waist, executing his fearsome "Hundred Victories Saber Technique."
A move "Furious Waves from the Sea" was unleashed, the saber light surged tumultuously like raging waves, heading straight for Wu Chi's chest.
Wu Chi felt a fierce wind approaching and hurriedly dodged, narrowly escaping being injured by the blade.
