“Run… Run for your lives!”
Yang Chao roared, realizing that facing the Black Cavalry Gang, only fleeing could save their lives!
“Run!”
The survivors, the wounded, although filled with bitter outrage, scrambled towards the distance in frantic escape to stay alive.
“Young Gang Leader Shi, shall we pursue them?”
In the forest, of the nearly hundred men present, one respectfully asked the burly man in his early thirties beside him.
This burly man’s muscles were knotted, and even in loose clothing, his outfit bulged with his physique, a sheathed broadsword hanging at his waist!
The burly man did not answer, but instead nocked and drew his bow, aiming at a man from Black Iron Manor who had run ten yards away, pulling the bowstring tight as a full moon, then released!
“Whoosh!”
The arrow shot through the air with powerful force, covering the distance of about ten yards, striking the man in the back of the neck.
Pfft!
The arrow pierced through the neck, bursting out through the throat, leaving behind a bloody hole. The fleeing man collapsed to the ground with a thud.
“Zhang Qian!” A member of Black Iron Manor saw this and their eyes nearly burst with rage, but they dared not stop their flight and continued fleeing for their lives!
The corners of the burly man’s mouth curved into a smirk, he said indifferently, “No need, they’re just a bunch of lowlifes. With all the commotion here, the White Jade Gang should have noticed by now, let’s go and ‘greet’ the White Jade Gang!”
This burly man had quite an extraordinary background, he was the recently famous Young Gang Leader Shi Hanshan of the Black Cavalry Gang!
As the Black Cavalry Gang grew stronger by the day, it was inevitable that they would clash with the local White Jade Gang, Fire and water incompatible. Today, Shi Hanshan brought over a hundred elite members to show the White Jade Gangwho’s boss and to assert the power of the Black Cavalry Gang!
The Black Cavalry Gang members observing the White Jade Gang’s territory coincidentally came across people from Black Iron Manor passing by, and thus the latter suffered an ambush from the Gang.
The members of the Black Cavalry Gang realized that those they attacked were not from the White Jade Gang, but merely a group of ordinary civilians.
Having killed nearly ten people from Black Iron Manor by mistake, Shi Hanshan didn’t feel the slightest bit of guilt, for they were but mere lowlifes, and their deaths were inconsequential.
“Let’s go!”
Ignoring the remaining fugitives from Black Iron Manor, Shi Hanshan waved his hand, and the hundred or so knights charged forward, the pounding of their hooves thundering as they headed towards the location of the White Jade Gang!
“They… They didn’t follow?”
Yang Chao and the others, after escaping a great distance, panting heavily, finally stopped upon seeing that the Black Cavalry Gang did not pursue them.
“Dead… Old Liu, Old Li, they’re all dead!”
A man, exhausted, sat down on the ground, having narrowly escaped death, but he couldn’t help bursting into uncontrollable weeping, shocked and grieved by witnessing his comrades being mercilessly killed before his eyes.
The others also looked deathly pale, staring blankly at the living comrades around them. Originally a group of more than twenty, only about ten escaped with their lives, the rest perished under a volley from the Black Cavalry Gang! “Why… those were the Black Cavalry Gang? Don’t we obediently pay the annual tribute? Why must they kill us?”
Another person asked in a voice breaking with despair.
They didn’t know that they were simply the victims of bad luck, misidentified by the Black Cavalry Gang.
Yang Chao clenched his teeth and pulled the arrow out of his shoulder, and someone tore a piece of clothing to help bandage him.
The group was still somewhat in shock, and was outrageously angry at the ruthless cruelty of the Black Cavalry Gang, but everyone felt deeply powerless. The Black Cavalry Gang had killed so many of their companions, but what of it? They could do nothing but endure the pain, not daring to even retrieve the bodies of their fallen.
“Hmm? Where’s Su Changkong? Could it be that he also…”
Yang Chao gasped for breath, looking around but not seeing a trace of Su Changkong. This made his heart sink, and he let out a long sigh. The chaos had been too much—Su Changkong must have also lost his life at the hands of the Black Cavalry Gang!
“Lu Qian is dead… And Liu San too?”
At this moment, beside the forest path, Su Changkong stood motionless, looking at the corpses on the ground with a silent demeanor. The Black Cavalry Gang had already headed towards the White Jade Gang’s territory, so he turned back and returned to this place.
At Black Iron Manor, everyone was busy with their tasks, and aside from a few people, Su Changkong didn’t even remember all the names of the members.
But during his few months with the White Jade Gang, Su Changkong had worked together with Yang Chao and others to forge armor. He wasn’t particularly close to the rest, but after months of interaction and conversation, they were acquaintances.
Just a moment ago, everyone was happy about going home, but in less than a few minutes, nearly half of them had perished at the hands of the Black Cavalry Gang, their bodies strewn across the wilderness. This undoubtedly stirred a faint killing intent in his heart!
“Let’s go take a look!”
Su Changkong took a deep breath, withdrawing his gaze and looking towards the White Jade Gang’s direction. There were already sounds of roaring and furious yelling—The Black Cavalry Gang and White Jade Gang seemed to have come to blows.
“Crack crack crack!”
Su Changkong retrieved a new set of clothes from his pack, changed out of his own, and then the bones in his body started crackling. With the Turtle Breath Shrinkage, he shrank by half a foot. Even the bones in his face slightly altered, drastically changing his appearance; his cheekbones receded and the corners of his eyes became elongated, with his apparent age increasing by a few years, transforming from a youth into a young man.
He untied his hairband and let his hair drape loosely, his eyes sharp and his body emanating a faint, cold presence.
After completing these preparations, Su Changkong headed towards the White Jade Gang’s base.
And at this moment, outside the White Jade Gang’s territory, a great battle was erupting!
“Damn it! The Black Cavalry Gang runs amok, and that’s one thing, but to dare bully us on our own turf?”
The burly Cai Tong roared, swinging his long saber and chopping off the leg of an oncoming Black Cavalry Gang knight’s horse. The knight fell off and tumbled to the ground, dazed and disoriented.
“Hahaha! What is the White Jade Gang? Before the Black Cavalry Gang, you can only bow and submit!”
The muscular and towering Young Gang Leader Shi Hanshan of the Black Cavalry Gang laughed wildly. He dismounted his horse and faced two White Jade Gang disciples charging at him with swords raised. With a swing of his long arms, he punched straight out!
“Crack! Snap!”
Accompanied by the sound of bones shattering, the two charging disciples were as if struck by a huge boulder in their chests. Their ribcages caved in and they flew backward, blood spurting from their mouths, landing more than a meter away!
“A Martial Artist of the Divine Strength Realm!”
Seeing this, many of the White Jade Gang disciples stiffened, their eyes narrowing with horror.
Once a Martial Artist reached the Divine Strength Realm, their bodies underwent a metamorphosis. In terms of pure strength, they were two to three times beyond the peak of ordinary humans. Against average Martial Artists, a single punch or kick could be lethal, shattering bones and leaving no chance for a match!
This Shi Hanshan was not just the Young Gang Leader of the Black Cavalry Gang, renowned for bravery and skill in combat, but also a Martial Artist who had reached the Divine Strength Realm!
“Kill! Wipe out all these bastards!”
The disciples of the White Jade Gang howled, blood boiling with fervor. The White Jade Gang had long established their reputation in Clearwater City, and this was the first time they were being attacked on their own grounds!
“Shi Hanshan! Do you really want to wage war against our White Jade Gang? You can’t bear the consequences!”
Dressed in white, charming and extraordinary, the usually smiling Bai Shao now glared at Shi Hanshan with a cold expression, sharply rebuking him.
“Heh heh! Asking such questions at a time like this? I’ll take your effeminate head as a trophy!”
Shi Hanshan grinned, showing a mouthful of large teeth. His towering frame and coiled muscles exuded a sense of oppression!
