Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques-Chapter 789 - 259: Armed with Guns and Cannons, Unscathed! Lu Changsheng’s Showdown with the King of the Century!_3
"Moreover, the Long Family is a lineage that has lasted hundreds of years. They understand the art of survival and would never wager the entire Long Family on a single gamble."
"So, rest assured."
Lu Changsheng appeared completely unconcerned about the Long Family.
Thus, Lu Changsheng left the hotel without hesitation and boarded a vehicle that headed once again toward the Long Family estate.
The Long Family guards clearly recognized Lu Yuan.
Upon seeing Lu Yuan approach, they didn’t dare show the slightest neglect and immediately granted passage.
The vehicle rolled smoothly into the Long Family estate.
Lu Changsheng glanced around the grounds.
It was obvious the guard presence had increased significantly.
However, ever since he entered the estate, none of the guards displayed even a trace of hostility.
In fact, they didn’t even dare to monitor Lu Yuan and his group.
This clearly showed the Long Family’s genuine fear.
Without absolute certainty, the Long Family would never dare make a move against Lu Yuan.
"Mr. Lu, you’ve finally arrived."
The Long Family Lord was still that spirited old man.
What’s more, his face radiated energy, with no sign that just days ago, Lu Changsheng had nearly killed him.
This level of composure had surpassed that of many others.
Lu Changsheng didn’t bother with pleasantries; he sat down on the sofa and asked coldly, "Speak. What’s the outcome of abolishing the Extreme Martial Arts Style?"
The Long Family Lord took a deep breath and replied solemnly, "The people in the Martial Arts Circle indeed have extensive networks and have convinced many others. Despite our Long Family taking a firm stance in support of the Extreme Martial Arts Style, the various confrontations in the past three days have left us overwhelmed."
"Especially the Zhao Family, Zhang Family, and Li Family. They are adamant about abolishing the Extreme Martial Arts Style. These three families represent the nobility, and they have considerable influence within the council. Their momentum is overwhelming. They’re deeply entangled with the Martial Arts Circle as well."
"If we could get these three families to change their stance—or even remain neutral—then my Long Family would naturally be able to suppress the Martial Arts Circle and allow the Extreme Martial Arts Style to thrive without interference."
"This time, the three families proactively reached out, requesting to meet with Mr. Lu. What do you think, Mr. Lu?"
Lu Changsheng understood.
The Long Family Lord couldn’t handle the three families.
He wanted to push Lu Changsheng into dealing with them.
After all, if Lu Changsheng could "convince" the Long Family, then he could certainly "convince" the other three families as well.
Lu Changsheng gave the Long Family Lord a faint, knowing smile.
"Speak. What leverage do the three families hold?"
"With the Long Family’s influence, there’s no way you wouldn’t know their trump card."
"Think carefully before you answer."
Though Lu Changsheng’s tone was calm, it sent a chill through the Long Family Lord’s heart.
He didn’t dare conceal anything and replied in a low voice, "Mr. Lu, according to our Long Family’s intelligence, this time the three families have summoned the most formidable force within the Martial Arts Circle—the legendary King of the Century, Hong Chuan!"
"This Hong Chuan, although now over seventy, is said to be an invincible figure, fully intact and unwavering in his peak combat ability. Even at seventy-plus years, his power is apparently undiminished."
"So... the three families likely intend to settle matters once and for all. They no longer wish to engage in endless back-and-forth with my Long Family but rather want to resolve everything through martial skill!"
Lu Changsheng’s gaze flickered with sharp intensity. "The King of the Century, Hong Chuan?"
He had never heard of this so-called King of the Century.
But hearing the title alone made it clear—Hong Chuan must rank as the most elite presence within the Martial Arts Circle.
No one could surpass Hong Chuan’s prowess.
"Good. Let’s resolve it through martial skill!"
"Old Lord, please accompany me, Brother Lu, to meet this King of the Century at the three families’ gathering."
Lu Changsheng stood up.
The Long Family Lord didn’t hesitate.
At this juncture, he had to travel together with Lu Changsheng to the three families.
After all, on the surface, Lu Changsheng’s "backing" was the Long Family.
The Long Family had now fully allied itself with Lu Changsheng. There was no escaping this connection.
Thus, the Long Family Lord arranged a convoy to travel with Lu Changsheng to the designated meeting place set by the three families.
The location agreed upon by the three families and the Long Family was the Zhao Family estate.
The Zhao Family estate was outside the city.
Lu Changsheng pondered as they traveled.
Heading outside the city—was this for better positioning of personnel?
Or perhaps setting up military forces?
Such possibilities couldn’t be ruled out.
With the immense influence of the three families, mobilizing troops wasn’t out of the ordinary.
Even if the three families didn’t know Lu Changsheng could withstand rocket launchers, they had likely uncovered that he wasn’t susceptible to bullets and firearms.
Making thorough preparations seemed entirely plausible.
For Lu Changsheng, however, wasn’t this also an opportunity?
A chance to resolve everything at once, avoiding further entanglements and wasted time.
After traveling for an hour, the Long Family convoy finally arrived at the Zhao Family estate.
"Well, what a grand display!"
Lu Changsheng sneered coldly.
Indeed, there were military forces present.
And plenty of them.
Moreover, they possessed heavy weaponry!
It was evident that the three families were proceeding with extreme caution.
Even heavy weaponry had been deployed.
This was a clear display of fear toward Lu Huan!
The Long Family Lord felt a shiver run through him and spoke carefully, "Mr. Lu, if you are unwilling to enter the Zhao Family estate, we can turn back right now."
The Long Family had tied itself to Lu Yuan.
Although the Long Family also secretly hoped Lu Yuan would meet his demise, they couldn’t openly express such wishes.
If they upset Lu Yuan, the Long Family would undoubtedly face catastrophe.
"No need. Let’s settle it all at once—avoid unnecessary trouble."
"Proceed to the Zhao Family estate."
Lu Changsheng waved his hand dismissively, seemingly indifferent.
Thus, the convoy smoothly entered the Zhao Family estate.
Lu Changsheng and the Long Family Lord stepped out of the vehicle.
The representatives of the three families had long been waiting.
