Chapter 111: Overwhelming Dominance
Chapter 111: Overwhelming Dominance
"Judging from the weapon he used, it's highly likely."
Wang Weisen spoke, "And since he lives here, perhaps he collected double the protection fee from Ah Bao, which angered them. Taking advantage of the dark night, he might have killed them. Even if it wasn't him, it doesn't matter. Better to make a mistake than to let him go."
"Hmm."
Li Tai nodded slightly.
If the culprit was indeed that young man, there was nothing more to say.
If not, then he was just unlucky.
"Ah Tai, tonight, go and capture that young man. It's up to you, but you don't need to defeat him. Just keep him occupied, and I'll have others nearby looking for an opportunity to take him down."
Li Tai frowned upon hearing this.
"Brother Sen, don't you trust me?"
"Ah Tai, that's not what I meant. I just think it's safer this way." Wang Weisen quickly explained.
"Brother Sen, if you trust me, let me fight him alone. No one else is allowed to interfere; otherwise, I won't help."
Li Tai spoke with an unwavering tone.
Wang Weisen, upon hearing this, felt helpless and could only agree.
He wanted to mention that he had brought a crossbow, but seeing the situation, he decided not to.
"Ah Tai, this is a token of my gratitude. It's a bit small, but I hope you won't mind."
He took a briefcase, opened it, and inside were five stacks of hundred-yuan bills, totaling fifty thousand yuan.
Li Tai's expression changed slightly.
For him, fifty thousand yuan for a single job was a pretty good reward.
"Thank you, Brother Sen. I won't be polite."
Li Tai took the briefcase and said solemnly, "Rest assured, Brother Sen. Even if that young man grows three heads and six arms tonight, he won't escape the palm of my hand."
"Good!"
Wang Weisen gave a thumbs-up.
Deep down, he still trusted Li Tai.
However, to be extra cautious, he would let his men act according to the situation during the night's operation.
Additionally, he would bring the crossbow. If there was indeed an unexpected situation and Li Tai was no match, he would use the crossbow to shoot and kill, as the crossbow's penetration power was astonishing at close range, and hitting a vital point would undoubtedly be fatal.
With this, they had three layers of insurance, and that young man wouldn't have enough lives.
"What's going on?!"
Suddenly, a loud shout came from downstairs.
Immediately after, a series of agonizing screams echoed.
The two men in the room exchanged glances and realized something had happened downstairs!
Li Tai leaped up, ready to rush out, but then remembered his weapon was still outside.
"Ah Tai, there's a knife here."
Wang Weisen walked behind the desk, opened a drawer, and saw several knives and swords inside.
"Thank you, Brother Sen."
Li Tai chose two handy watermelon knives and said, "Brother Sen, stay here. I'll go and see what's happening."
With that, he quickly left the room.
Wang Weisen hesitated for a moment, then opened another drawer, taking out a crossbow already loaded with ten arrows.
He picked up the crossbow and followed Li Tai out.
If there was real danger, staying here would only mean waiting for death.
When the two reached the hallway and the staircase, they discovered the situation in the first-floor hall.
Over a dozen people lay on the ground, blood flowing from their heads, staining the floor red, and the air was filled with the scent of rust.
Only one person, wielding double sticks and wearing a black hood that revealed only his eyes and mouth, remained standing.
Their gazes locked together.
Wang Weisen's face paled, his heart pounding, and even his hands holding the crossbow trembled.
How much time had passed since they heard the screams until they reached this place?
In less than a minute?
And in such a short time, all his men were dead?
Li Tai wasn't alarmed or enraged.
As he slowly descended the stairs, he spoke, "So you're Jiang Cheng? Quite the daring one. We hadn't come looking for you, yet here you are, knocking on our door."
Jiang Cheng remained silent, his gaze fixed on the man before him, while his peripheral vision also kept an eye on the person above.
He hadn't expected the man to have a bow and arrow in his hands.
Fortunately, his Twin Sticks had reached Great Proficiency, making it difficult for him to guard against arrows from multiple directions, but he could still manage to defend against attacks from one direction.
"Not a word? Humph, you cowardly rat, hiding your head and showing your tail!"
As the last word left his mouth, Li Tai had already descended the stairs, and his feet suddenly accelerated.
However, Jiang Cheng's movements were even faster. With a swift stride, he rushed forward and struck Li Tai's head with a stick.
Li Tai's vision blurred, and he frantically blocked the blow with his knife.
"Crack!"
A crisp sound echoed as Jiang Cheng's left stick struck, breaking the wrist of the hand that was blocking.
Li Tai let out a miserable cry, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and for the first time, he felt the urge to retreat.
Wait, was this guy in front of him really Jiang Cheng? Weren't his Staff Techniques supposed to be just proficient? Was this proficiency? With one hand broken, Li Tai's combat strength plummeted, and after blocking the third strike, the fourth strike instantly shattered his five fingers.
"Ah!"
A loud, painful scream.
The fingers were connected to the heart.
But in the next moment, the scream seemed to be swallowed back.
Jiang Cheng struck three or four consecutive blows, all of them landing on the man's sun acupoint, and it happened in the blink of an eye.
Plop!
Li Tai collapsed to the ground, his eyes wide open, as if expressing his inner unwillingness.
Wang Weisen, standing at the second-floor staircase, witnessed this scene and was stunned.
The personal bodyguard of the gang leader, the strongest fighter in the gang, was defeated just like that?
He hadn't even seen how the fight unfolded, and Li Tai was already killed by the man.
Was this gap too wide?
Footsteps echoed.
Wang Weisen's` heart raced, and he saw the man in the first-floor hall rushing towards him.
Instinctively, he wanted to flee.
Suddenly, he noticed the bow and arrow in his hands, and a shiver ran down his spine. That's right, he had a bow and arrow. He could shoot the man dead!
As the distance between them rapidly closed, he didn't even need to aim. He lifted the bow and arrow and aimed directly at the man's chest, pressing the trigger forcefully.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
Ten consecutive sounds of arrows piercing the air rang out.
Wang Weisen revealed a smug smile.
At such a close distance, the man must have been turned into a hive of bees.
But immediately, he was stunned.
The man who had rushed forward suddenly stopped, and his twin sticks danced rapidly in front of him, like an electric fan at its highest setting. It brought forth a gust of wind.
"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"
A series of clanging sounds echoed, like iron rods colliding with arrows, breaking them, and sending them flying in all directions, some even hitting the walls.
After a moment, the sounds subsided.
Jiang Cheng stopped his movements and just stared at the man.
Wang Weisen was completely dumbfounded. The two of them just stood there, staring at each other.
After three seconds, he couldn't bear the pressure anymore and plopped down to his knees, tears streaming down his face. "Mercy! Please spare me!"
His so-called triple insurance was a joke in front of this man, and even the bow and arrow, which he had placed so much hope in, couldn't even harm a single hair on his opponent.
At this moment, thoughts of revenge and unwillingness vanished, and all he could think about was how to survive.
