Zhu Pao was flabbergasted. 'This power... is he perhaps on the same level as the ancestor? No, the founder is over a thousand years old, it's almost impossible to reach his strength. Still, this backup is our hope, we can live!'
With renewed Vigor, Zhu Pao turned to the surviving Zhu Sect members. "Men, let's break this siege! Show those monsters the power of the Zhu Sect!" He excitedly yelled.
The others seemed to have found a reliance, as they followed their leader to battle once more, this time with the hope of survival.
Tang Sheng noticed this scene and sped up his slaughter. Occasionally, he would slice a limb or two from an Orc and use an air current to push it towards his disciple. She could now handle a one on one with an Orc, due to her become Level 3. Although Tang Sheng had yet to ask her class, or any one's class for that matter, he was sure her disciple was special.

The Orc clan leader, Kerac, stared in surprise at the human decimating his forces from behind. Instead of becoming angry or filled with rage, he was instead filled with fighting spirit. He was unable to find a match within this group of pathetic humans and had perhaps found some good entertainment. Thinking this way, he ordered all surviving Orcs, now numbering in the 30s due to the slaughtering by Tang Sheng, to attack the building holding up Zhu Sect's remaining survivors. He himself would eat this human with a strange aura alive.

Seeing the Orc leader approach himself, Sheng was confused, but later glad. It meant he had less to kill before beheading the enemy leader, a strategy well known in his day as imperial advisor on both the battlefield and off it.
Tang Sheng approached the Orc leader so fast he was unable to react to his movement. It looked like teleporting, but as far as Sheng was concerned this was impossible. The so called 'Teleporting' was merely running extremely fast with the assistance of air currents.
After reaching the towering Orc leader, strapped in full leather armour and a club twice the size of ordinary Orc clubs, a full 5 foot long and 1 foot wide, Tang Sheng dismissed his jade sword, vanishing from his right hand, as it clenched into a fist. Activating his technique, Tang illusionary Fist, a giant home was blasted through the Orc leaders' skull directly upon impact.
The remaining orcs heard the sound of a BANG, similar to the noise a large explosion creates and looked back in horror. Their leader had been killed so easily and was now lying dead on the ground. The human looking towards them with indifference. Following a ghastly few second of silence, the remaining Orcs ran for their lives, whilst the Zhu clan members looked at the strange man in white robes in reverence, almost worship. The Zhu Sect was a part of the Martial arts world, and this world respected strength. Finding out that the Orc leader, who was untouchable just seconds earlier, was killed in a single blow was almost too much for them.
Zhu Pao eventually snapped out of it, ordering his men, "Men, chase them - they're heading for the inner city!". He had no time to thank his savour, as the Orcs headed further into the city and would soon begin to wantonly massacre civilians if left unchecked.
With the assistance of the man in white, and the small girl who killed 6 or 7 Orcs herself, the remaining monsters were killed off completely.

Tang Sheng called for Mia to fetch the villagers and caught the sight of the brat that earlier insulted him walking his way. 'On account of your likely sect leader, I'll forgive this kid" He thought.
Arriving Infront of him, Zhu Pao and his surviving disciples bowed their heads in gratefulness. "Sir, we thank you for our lives, could we ask for the name of the saviour?" He meekly asked. His arrogant nature completely disappearing when encountering a stronger martial artist.
"My name is Sheng." Tang Sheng replied.
"Sheng?" He pondered, he had never heard of a Sheng Clan or powerful warrior with this name in the surrounding regions at all. 'No matter' He thought. 'Clearly, he's friendly, otherwise he wouldn't have helped us.'
"Do you understand the situation in the city? Also, what are these things?" Sheng asked, pointing to the Orcs. He knew their names but hoped others will inform him where they came from.
Zhu Pao stood up straight and replied, "Sir, I was deployed to defend the southern gate entrance with a small contingent of Zhu Sect disciples. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Elder Pao of the Zhu Sect. These things appeared from nowhere, we've never seen anything like them before" He cupped his fists. Looking up, he noticed this martial warrior was not moved at all at the reputation of the Zhu sect, this was surprising as they were a feared force in this area, even well known throughout most of China.
"Where is your Sect Master, Elder Pao?" Sheng questioned.
"Sect Master? Are you a friend of his, Sir?" He turned even more respectful.
"You could say that, where is he? what's the situation in the city at the moment?"
"I don't know, as I was stationed here since the monsters invaded, but it's likely even worse than the south. The south had borders and higher defence due to it being the only route in the city. The other regions are surrounded by mountain ranges, so it's probable that they have already fallen back towards the inner Sect grounds. The city houses over 2 million civilians and 10,000 Sect members to protect them, however they are mostly ordered to patrol throughout the city and split up into smaller groups. We were completely unprepared; I also cannot leave this area undefended in the case that another wave of monsters comes through." He appeared worried, as he didn't have the manpower to defend the city's south gate nor the men to search for the situation of the inner city. Essentially, he was stuck.
"We travelled through the roads heading towards the south gate and encountered little to no monsters. You should be able to direct us to the inner city if we are fast. I ask that you take me there quickly." Tang Sheng asked. He understood the difficult situation this martial expert was in and pitied him, so he was polite with his speaking.
The Elder looked to be pondering on his words. 'If we have this martial warrior, in addition to the founder and Sect Master defending the inner city, then I would have peace of mind to continue defending the south gate'. He quickly came to a decision; he would take this powerful warrior to the inner city.
