At this point, Gu Yinzi said, "Master Hu, I'll give you one last chance. As long as you are willing to submit to me, work for my mansion, enjoy wealth and prosperity, I guarantee you will not be shortchanged. But if you still stubbornly refuse to listen, then you'll only be sending these dozens of lives to their deaths in vain. Think it over carefully."```

After being attacked by the Blood Swallow Gate, the Iron Knife Society now only has dozens of people left. Among these people, it is unknown how many are friendly with each other. On that day, they were all killed by the Jin Yi Wei overnight. They all hate the Jin Yi Wei to the core. Now, hearing the words of Gu Yinzi, they all shouted in unison, "Lord Hu, even if we die, we must fight them to the end." "That's right, we will never surrender." "Even if we go to the Yellow Springs together, we must fight them." Immediately, the shouts and curses resounded one after another.

Hu Pengfei saw that the young men at the gate had already made up their minds to fight to the death, and he nodded approvingly, saying, "You have heard their answer. It is also my answer. There's no need for you to waste any more words."
Guyangzi said coldly, "Very well, since that's the case, accept your death." As soon as he finished speaking, he launched himself into the air and swung his dual-headed oar towards Hupengfei. With just a flick of his wrist, Guyinzi's younger brother commanded a group of Jin Yiwei assassins to attack, unleashing a deafening barrage of swords and knives.
只见孤阳子一根双头桨，舞得虎虎生风，招数委实诡异多变。然胡鹏飞的血刃刀，也大是不弱，砸劈斩挑，招招凌厉狠辣，攻守自如，看来大可与孤阳子一拚。
The number of battles was equal. Some of the Iron Sword School disciples were defeated and lay injured or dead on the ground. The remaining disciples of the Iron Sword School had to join forces, with several against one, but still struggled to gain the upper hand.
Speaking of Fu Wanfrost, she was seen with her left hand holding up a sword gesture, her right hand wielding a three-foot green blade, making a hissing sound, and fighting fiercely with a killer from the Imperial Guards, unable to be separated.
It was not until now that Shui Ling'er could clearly see Fu Wanfrost's appearance. She was around twenty years old, with a beautiful and charming face, but also had a unique and graceful style. At this moment, she waved her flashing sword with green light swirling, and her sword aura dispersed. Her moves were extremely exquisite. Looking at the other person who was fighting with her, he held a thick-backed knife in his hand and also showed incredible skill. The two of them fought fiercely, with neither gaining the upper hand.
At this moment, there was a sudden change in the fight between Hu Pengfei and Gu Yangzi.
Unconsciously, they had exchanged dozens of moves. As time wore on, their internal strength and skill became apparent. Seeing that Hu Pengfei was falling behind and his sword was becoming slow and dull, he was also repeatedly in danger.
Master Dahui saw that Hu Pengfei would be defeated within ten moves and that many members of the Iron Knife Society had already been injured or killed. He knew that if he didn't act soon, the situation would only get worse. He spoke to the others, saying, "It's time for us to act. Follow the plan closely." With that, Master Dahui charged out of the woods.
孤阳子此刻越战越勇，手中双头桨不断增加力量。存心要把胡鹏飞毙于桨下。
胡鹏飞见来桨愈趋猛恶，更是力感难支，只得竭尽全力。孤注一掷奋力招架。正当他力蹙势穷，险象环生之际，忽见一条人影欺近孤阳子身旁，来势疾若速雷。胡鹏飞还没看清楚来人，便见孤阳子猛地往后疾退数步，跌翻出去。与此同时，一个高大的身影，已然挡在他身前。
Here is the provided text translated to English while preserving the original HTML tags:```htmlIt turned out that the Great Wisdom Master resorted to his old tricks, just like he did on the streets of Kyoto back then. As soon as he made his move, he unleashed the Chaos Palm and struck at Guyangzi's chest.
Guyangzi was engaged in an exciting fight and had already gained the upper hand, reveling in his success. Suddenly, he felt a powerful palm strike coming at him from an unexpected angle, with no prior indication. Alarmed, Guyangzi quickly flipped his left hand, intending to meet the incoming palm head-on. However, the palm strike unexpectedly shifted course and aimed for his shoulder.```
With a sudden mutation, Gongyangzi was taken aback by the attack. He had already raised his left palm, but he was too slow to react. Fortunately, he was quick to adapt, and he quickly stepped aside to avoid the incoming attack. However, he was still too slow and felt a fierce and rapid force hitting his shoulder, causing him to grunt and fall backwards.
As the solitary shadow on the side saw someone approaching, he rushed forward and was about to strike with his palm. Unexpectedly, as his gaze fell on the approaching figure, he realized it was the great wise master. He immediately stopped and withdrew his hand, pointing his finger and cursing, "Well, well, it’s you again, you stinky monk!"
大慧上人颔首笑道：“阿弥托福！没错，正是区区。”
而水灵儿与方嫄等人，已然同时抢入战阵。只见他们几人联成阵势，数柄长剑，互攻互守，幻出层层剑网，早便把四五个锦衣卫杀手逼开。再加上伏挽霜和铁刀会数名好手，双方形势，立时扳转过来。
孤阳子受了这一掌，只感胸口气血翻涌，身子连幌几下，终于一下坐倒在地，抬眼一望，看见孤阳子卓立当前，登时剧愤难当，正想站起上前与他搏杀，倏觉一口气提不上来，险些昏晕过去。
The venerable Dahu did not dare to look away from the Yin Yang elders, and turned his head towards Hupengfei, saying: "Master Hu, please take care of your disciples first. I will deal with these two myself."
胡鹏飞这时却已认出了这位江湖上鼎鼎有名的大慧上人，便是当日在街上见过的那位僧人，当下拱手道：“多谢上人出手相助，胡某人先在此谢过了。”
The Master Dahui said without much courtesy, and then spoke loudly: "Listen, members of the Jin Yi Wei, if you want the prince to be safe and sound, stop now and avoid regretting it later."
他这句说话，事先早已商定，若此恫吓之言收效，便可避免一场厮杀，这自然最好。倘若不成，只得真刀实枪和他们拚一回。
As soon as these words were spoken, the effect was immediate. The Jin Yi Wei assassins all stood still and looked at the wise monk in amazement.
Gu Yangzi was already so angry that his beard was standing up, and he shouted, "You don't need to intimidate me, monk. I won't fall for your tricks."
Great Master Dahui stepped forward with a smile and said, "If you don't want to comply, you'll have to comply. First of all, the prince is in our hands. Secondly, considering the current situation, you may not necessarily win against us. If you don't believe me, come and fight me one-on-one..." As he spoke, he had already pounced to the left with lightning speed, leaving everyone marveling at his sudden and swift movements.
But in the blink of an eye, the great monk Dahui had rushed into the group of Jin Yi Wei assassins standing on his left. Several of the assassins saw him suddenly darting towards them and swung their weapons at him simultaneously. With a series of clangs and clashes, Dajue had already deflected their attacks and emerged unscathed from their midst, as if he had entered an empty space.
Next, the great wise master moved his arm and threw the man to the ground. There was a loud "bang" as the man cried out in pain; his ribs were still broken! Immediately, he spurted out a mouthful of crimson blood, and the crowd fell silent. (To be continued...)
