Chapter 288: Strange Occurrences
Chapter 288: Strange Occurrences
He Liang was so terrified that he nearly wet himself.
Li Chao's body trembled uncontrollably as well.
Even Tang Nian, a Fifth Rank Force Samurai, had met his end at the hands of this person.
Not to mention him, a mere Second Rank Force Samurai.
But if he didn't speak, he would also become another fallen soul under the person's blade in the next moment.
Speaking up might offer a glimmer of hope.
"Senior, your mercy," he said, his arms trembling as he clasped his fists, "This is the territory of the Iron Fist Gang. I believe there is no grudge between you and our gang, is there?"
"Where is the headquarters of the Iron Fist Gang, and how many branches do you have? Where are they located?"
Jiang Cheng asked, his voice devoid of any emotion.
Before coming here, he had visited the gambling den and brothel, slaughtering every Iron Fist Gang member within, and through a few mouths, he learned of this place.
Upon hearing this, Li Chao was terrified.
What did this mean?
Was the person before him targeting their entire gang?
Not only did he intend to kill him here, but he also wanted to uproot the entire gang? But if so, why did he target the martial arts academy members? Why did he even kill the Falcon Martial Arts Academy Master?
The next moment, he felt his vision blur, and his entire body seemed to fly.
Moreover, he saw a familiar figure.
"That seems to be... my body?"
The thought flashed through his mind, and he quickly lost consciousness.
"Plop!"
He Liang, who was behind him, witnessed this and was so scared that he collapsed to the ground.
"I'm asking you, do you know where the headquarters of the Iron Fist Gang is? How many branches are there, and where are they located? If you don't know, this will be your fate."
Jiang Cheng sheathed his bloodied blade and asked.
"I know, I know, please don't kill me, don't kill me."
He Liang nodded and cried.
"Take me there."
"After I take you there, can you..."
"Hmm?"
"I understand, I'll take you there right now." He Liang didn't dare to say more, filled with regret.
He knew that there was no such thing as a free favor in this world, and someone was targeting their gang.
Now it seemed that was indeed the case.
The person intended to eradicate them all.
But with things having come this far, it was too late to say anything. Rather than face death alone, it was better to bring as many people as possible. Just like the gang leader, if not for his initial order, he and Li Chao wouldn't have come here, and the subsequent events wouldn't have occurred.
So, they would face death together!
...
In the evening, the night sky draped low, and not only the vendors on the street but also those who worked outside dragged their weary bodies home.
Shi Yan was among them.
After a day of strenuous labor, he was exhausted and longed to lie in bed and sleep for a day.
In this place, finding work wasn't easy, and rest?
After this busy period, there would be plenty of time to rest.
After passing through several alleys, a puzzled expression appeared on his face.
What was going on? Usually, when he passed by, he would see some malicious thugs, but after seeing the iron hammer and mud blade in his hand, they would wisely avert their gaze.
Today, after walking for so long, not encountering a single one was indeed strange.
After walking a while longer, as he neared his home, he put on a smile, no matter how tired he was outside, he wanted to show his best side to his family.
"Knock knock."
He knocked twice, and a woman's excited voice sounded from inside the house.
"Who is it?"
"Honey, it's me."
"Daddy's home! It's Daddy!"
An innocent voice rang out, and a small figure sprinted towards the door.
The woman inside the house quickly walked over, opening the door with a smile.
Shi Yan first looked around, then walked in swiftly, closing the door behind him, and lifted his daughter up high.
"Tired?"
The woman's face was filled with concern.
"Not tired."
Shi Yan shook his head with a smile, "Nothing much happened today, right?"
The woman shook her head, then glanced outside and said, "Something incredible happened on the street."
"Oh? What?"
Shi Yan asked curiously.
"There's too much to say all at once. Let's wash up, eat, and talk while we eat."
"Okay."
Shi Yan washed his hands and sat at the dinner table, letting his daughter sit on his lap. The woman sat beside them, and the family of three made for a heartwarming scene.
The dishes on the table were not extravagant, but they were well-balanced.
"Honey, what happened on the street?"
Shi Yan picked up a small piece of meat and put it in his daughter's mouth, asking as he did so.
The woman glanced at her daughter and said softly, "All the people from Iron Fist Gang on the street were killed."
She didn't continue, but made a hand-chop gesture.
"What?"
Shi Yan was astonished.
"They were all...?"
"Mhm."
The woman nodded.
Shi Yan took a deep breath.
Two months ago, Iron Fist Gang had been wiped out by someone.
Today, they were annihilated again? No wonder he returned home quietly tonight, and he didn't even encounter a single thug on the way.
Wouldn't the members of Iron Fist Gang be terrified now?
However, he didn't have any good feelings towards Iron Fist Gang, and he wished they would all die.
"Do you know who did it?"
Shi Yan asked.
A person's image appeared in his mind.
But he was clear that it couldn't be that person.
"I don't know, but many people saw what he looked like. He appeared to be a middle-aged man in his forties, carrying a sword on his back."
Shi Yan nodded.
He secretly thought that it wasn't him.
Thinking about it, he had only just sensed the Essence Energy, and wasn't even a First-Level Primordial Energy Warrior. How could he possibly slaughter the entire Iron Fist Gang?
Just like the last time, it was probably those two from Dawn Society who did it, and the people living nearby spread misinformation, even attributing it to sorcery.
"There's one more thing."
The woman spoke up again.
"The master of Falcon Martial Arts Academy was also killed, and the murderer is said to be the same person."
Hearing this, Shi Yan's eyes widened in shock.
"Are you sure?"
"Many people witnessed it, and Falcon Martial Arts Academy also closed its doors afterward. It's almost certain."
Shi Yan was incredibly shocked.
The master of Falcon Martial Arts Academy, a Fifth or Sixth-Level Primordial Energy Warrior, was killed on this street? What happened today? How could so many strange events occur on the same day?
"Honey," the woman glanced outside and lowered her voice, "You think it's that person, right? He's back."
"Who?"
"Yes, the one we dealt with. He's the only one with the skills and guts to dare to take action against both Wild Wolf Gang and Iron Fist Gang."
"?"
Shi Yan was puzzled, then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, honey, you're thinking too simply about this matter."
