Time Travel: Ancient Martial Arts Chronicles

Ye Wuhen had just managed to steady everyone at the defense line, but the string in his heart was still taut, like a fully drawn bowstring that could break at any moment. The sky was gloomy at that moment, and the thick dark clouds piled up like black cotton wool, weighing heavily on the town, as if foreshadowing an impending storm. As a result, troubles popped up one after another like mushrooms after rain. Now, news has come that some suspicious guys have appeared in a small town near the family territory. Their behavior is "sneaky", as if they are planning something big. When Ye Wuhen heard this, his brows knitted into a knot, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "I'm really screwed, can't these guys just be quiet for a while? They keep causing trouble for me every day, do they really think I'm easy to bully?" But he also knew that now was not the time to complain, and every new situation could be the key to determining the fate of the family.

He hurried towards the town with a few experts, the scenery along the way becoming increasingly bleak. The withered leaves of the roadside trees trembled in the wind, making a rustling sound, as if whispering of unease. The once bustling market was now deserted, with only a few skinny stray dogs scavenging for food on the street, occasionally looking up and warily watching them pass by.

Arriving at the small town, Ye Wuhen's eyes scanned everywhere like a radar, not missing any details, his heart pounding as if it was going to jump out of his throat. The streets of the town were filled with an eerie silence. The breeze blew, lifting the dust on the ground, forming blurry light and shadows in the dim sunlight. Those suspicious people seemed to have noticed something, and their figures flashed in the crowd and disappeared. Ye Wuhen stomped his feet in anger: "Hey! These people are like loaches, so cunning. You want to play hide-and-seek with me, right? Then I will accompany you to the end. I must catch you today and never let you run away, otherwise I will not agree with my hot temper. There must be some conspiracy behind this, and I can't let them succeed. The safety of the family is on my shoulders, and I have to carry it."

After searching for a while, they discovered some strange markings near an abandoned warehouse. The warehouse was surrounded by overgrown weeds, half a man's height, swaying wildly in the wind like a group of ferocious monsters. The walls were mottled and worn, covered with withered vines. In some places, patches of plaster had fallen off, revealing the rotting wood beneath. Ye Wuhen took a closer look, frowning, his heart skipping a beat. "This marking looks a bit like the symbol I saw in the meeting room before. Is there a connection? Is this another trap waiting for us to jump into? I'm really impressed by these guys. This matter is getting more and more complicated, like a tangled mess. I have to sort it out as soon as possible, but I must not let my family fall into deeper crisis. Every clue could be a life-saving straw, or a death warrant." At this moment, a group of men in black suddenly swarmed around them and surrounded them. At this moment, the sun seemed to be afraid of the tense atmosphere and hid behind the clouds, and the sky became darker.

The moment the man in black appeared, a gust of wind blew, sending weeds and garbage flying all over the place. A few withered leaves stuck to Ye Wuhen's face, but he brushed them away, his eyes sharpening. Ye Wuhen sneered, his palms sweating slightly. "Hmph, I knew you were waiting here. Come on, who's afraid of who? Let's have a 'peak showdown' today. I hope we can handle it this time, but no one can get hurt again. Every member of my clan is my family, and I can't put them in danger again."

The two sides instantly engaged in combat. Ye Wuhen, wielding the "Star Demon-Breaking Sword," was like a god of war descending to earth, his swordsmanship razor-sharp. As he fought, he shouted, "Brothers, don't panic. Let's attack together and crush them to a pulp. Let them know we're not to be trifled with. We're the 'Fighting Family,'" Ole Gee! But in his mind, he was rapidly formulating a strategy. "These enemies are not easy to deal with. Their moves are very methodical. We can't just fight them head-on. We have to find opportunities to break through. Everyone's fighting hard, and I have to protect them. I'm their backbone, and I can't panic." The battle intensified, and the family's masters used all their skills, but the enemy seemed well prepared, and for a moment, they reached a stalemate. The sound of swords clashing was particularly harsh in the silent town, and every collision sent up strings of sparks that flickered in the dim light. Ye Wuhen was extremely anxious. He knew that if he continued like this, the situation would be dire. He had to find a way to break the deadlock. "We can't go on like this. We will be dragged down. We must find their weakness quickly. Every second is crucial. The fate of our family depends on this battle. I must get everyone away safely."

Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he winked at Lin Yu. In unison, the two began to attack the enemy's weak points, just like finding their opponent's flaws in a game. This move really worked, and the enemy's formation began to panic. Ye Wuhen took the opportunity to shout, "Now is the time, charge!" Everyone worked together and beat the men in black back. Ye Wuhen breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to relax. "This time was a fluke, we almost got caught. We can't always take such risks. We need a more comprehensive plan." At this time, the wind gradually died down, and the dust slowly settled. Everything around them returned to a certain calm, but the ground was left with the mess left by the fight.

Watching the fleeing figures of the men in black, Ye Wuhen didn't let his guard down. He knew this was just a test from the enemy, and a bigger storm might be ahead. He said to everyone, "Although we've driven them away this time, don't be too happy. This is just an appetizer. There are still tough battles to fight. We have to go back and readjust our strategy. We can't be careless, otherwise we'll be in trouble." After saying this, he led everyone back to the family quickly, ready to face the next round of challenges. His eyes were as firm as the brightest stars in the night sky, shining with fearlessness, but his heart was filled with worries about the unknown challenges. "How many more dangers are waiting for us in the future? Can I really protect the family? No matter what, I have no way out. For the family, I will fight!"
