78: Chapter 78 Good people shouldn't be held at gunpoint! First stop, the Jin family!
"Has it finally begun?"
"Not a slow start at all; it's just as I wished!"
Lu Qingyun stood up, a flash of sharp light passing through his eyes.
A faint smile appeared on his face. He pushed open the door and said in a calm voice, "Where is he? I'll go take a look."
"He's... he's in the main hall."
Ming Cheng's voice trembled slightly. Facing Lu Qingyun at this moment, he felt as if the person before him was a ferocious beast ready to devour someone!
Furthermore, for some reason, he always felt... that Lu Qingyun's reaction was as if he had anticipated this long ago.
Lu Qingyun ignored his thoughts. After learning the situation, he headed straight to the main hall.
Night had fallen, and a black curtain shrouded the earth.
Naturally, some darkness grew from this, and human hearts were no different.
Therefore, the Beast Arena at night was even more intense than during the day!
And this intensity exploded completely when Gang Leader Qian Wanjun lay in the main hall, blood flowing all over the floor!
Someone recognized the identity of Gang Leader Qian Wanjun, knowing that he was the leader of one of the few remaining major gangs in the Outer City and a big shot at the Xiantian Martial Artist level!
Precisely because of this, such a sudden accident—a crossing of status, as it were—made the excitement of these people almost impossible to contain!
"Good grief! This Burning Bone Beast Arena is truly incredible. It's only been here for a few days, and it's already wiped out the three major gangs. They even dared to beat their leader into a critical state and display him at the entrance as a warning. Doesn't anyone in charge care about this?"
"Who could care? This Burning Bone Beast Arena is no small faction. Its boss is a big shot beyond your imagination! Besides, do you know who is standing behind it? The Ning Family! The family that stands at the very top!"
"What kind of eyes do you have? Can't you see this man fled here from outside? He's clearly seeking protection!"
"Who cares what he's doing? Just watching the show is enough. Damn it! I was already furious at those animals for making me lose two hundred thousand for nothing, but I didn't expect such an unexpected show. Being able to see a Xiantian Martial Artist being hunted down right before my eyes—this level of excitement makes it barely worth it!"
"Holy crap! Move aside! Supervisor Lu is here. If we don't move, I'm afraid we'll end up dead!"
Seeing Lu Qingyun arrive, those spectators and some staff members immediately scattered.
Apparently, his fierce reputation had already spread far and wide!
After all, it was a full two thousand lives!
He could truly be called a human butcher!
Upon arriving at the main hall, he saw Gang Leader Qian Wanjun lying on the ground, seemingly in a coma.
Lu Qingyun walked forward and beckoned to the staff nearby.
Soon, a basin of boiling water was brought over.
Splash—!
The entire basin of scalding boiling water was poured onto Gang Leader Qian Wanjun, turning his skin blood-red.
The boiling water seeped into his wounds, and the intense pain caused him to open his eyes instantly, a look of extreme agony appearing on his face.
If not for the fact that he clearly knew he was now at the Burning Bone Beast Arena...
He would have feared that he had truly been hunted down and was now captured and being tortured.
No...
Even if they were torturing him, they wouldn't use boiling water just to wake him up!
He gritted his teeth tightly, gasping violently.
After recovering slightly, he did not forget his mission.
He said in a very unwilling and sorrowful tone, "I still... miscalculated!!"
"I didn't expect them to be so ruthless!"
"After learning I came to you, they actually sent people to kill me! Fortunately, the decades of kung fu I've practiced weren't for nothing, and I barely managed to save my life."
"However, Supervisor Lu, rest assured! Even if I have fallen to this state, I will never collude with them! I am not on the same path as them! Even if we are the only ones in the entire Outer City with the same philosophy, I will not fear being enemies with everyone!"
In the end, Gang Leader Qian Wanjun's eyes were bloodshot, and his emotions were exceptionally agitated.
Some spectators with strong empathy and an overflowing sense of justice were immediately moved to tears, infected by this!
Although they had no idea about the ins and outs of the situation, it didn't stop them from cheering wildly for him!
"Good! Well done, Gang Leader Qian!"
"That's right, what does it matter if you are threatened with death! As long as you hold fast to the justice in your heart, all difficulties will pass!"
"Justice resides in the hearts of the people; right and wrong will be judged by others!"
Hearing the encouragement from the surrounding audience, Gang Leader Qian Wanjun was secretly delighted, but his face still showed signs of even greater pain, as if his injuries had worsened.
His small eyes, which were already barely visible, became mere slits.
It's steady; everything is steady!
At this moment, he was eighty percent confident that he could lower the guard of this young punk Lu Qingyun against him, and eventually be seen as an ally.
And he would become a knife stuck in Lu Qingyun's heart, ready to be driven in at any time!
After all, to achieve this effect, he had truly been beaten into this state!
The injuries all over his body were not fake at all; those idiots really went all out to kill him, truly making him experience being half-dead!
"Sigh—! If the family hadn't wanted to hedge their bets, I wouldn't have had to walk through the gates of hell myself."
"I don't know what's so good about betting on this Ning Family; it's clearly a foregone conclusion. Now, who doesn't want to take a bite out of it? It's just a young punk with a bit of talent; what's there to be afraid of?"
Gang Leader Qian Wanjun thought silently to himself.
But no matter what he thought, the mission he received was to do exactly this.
So he could only obey.
Fortunately, relying on his superb acting skills and flawless injuries, he had already seen the deep emotion in Lu Qingyun's eyes!
Just like those righteous people around him who were infected by him, his eyes were full of excitement!
So excited that he quickly walked up and helped him up.
Afterwards, he said very seriously and sincerely, "Well said! I, Lu Qingyun, believe you are a true hero, a real man, a truly good person!"
"But good people shouldn't have guns pointed at them!"
"Come! Let's go!"
"I'm taking you to kill someone!"
Looking at Lu Qingyun's excited expression and his incomparably firm eyes, which were burning with blazing anger.
Gang Leader Qian Wanjun opened his mouth, unable to speak for a moment.
Things seemed... to have deviated somewhat from his, or rather their, expectations.
Good news: the effect was achieved.
Bad news: the effect was a bit too good!
Also, what does it mean to take him to kill someone?
Clearly, he was still seriously injured!
Could he really move around freely, or even directly participate in such a dangerous-sounding revenge operation?
"This... isn't necessary, right?"
"Those people who were hunting me down should have already been scared off by you, Supervisor Lu. Going now, I imagine we won't be able to find them. Besides... those people are in league with each other, and they have the numbers. We are alone and don't have the advantage!"
Gang Leader Qian Wanjun silently shifted his fat body, wanting to break free from Lu Qingyun's hand, which held him like an iron pincer, making his bones crack.
Unfortunately, he didn't move an inch...
"It's fine. Didn't you just say it?"
"Except for us, the rest... are all enemies."
Lu Qingyun's answer was very serious, and his ability to take action was super strong.
He signaled with his eyes.
Not far away, Shi Jian, who was sitting in a wheelchair watching the fun, was directly flipped off by Ming Cheng, landing on the ground in a sorry state!
Soon, that wheelchair belonging to Shi Jian was pushed over by him.
He then moved Gang Leader Qian Wanjun onto it directly, his movements very nimble, and he even said to Gang Leader Qian Wanjun with extreme confidence:
"Gang Leader Qian, rest assured. Pushing this thing, I'm a professional. I guarantee you'll experience the feeling of lightning speed!!"
"Then I really... thank you."
Gang Leader Qian Wanjun knew that he couldn't escape this ordeal, so he could only bite the bullet and accept it.
And while he was racking his brain, thinking about which hostile family to use as a scapegoat...
He heard Lu Qingyun speak slowly beside him:
"However, looking at the injuries on your body, the sharp edge is still present at the wounds. This must have been caused by someone from the Jin Family."
"So for the first stop, we'll go to the Jin Family. How about that?"
Instantly!
Gang Leader Qian Wanjun's face turned deathly pale in a flash!
Because the family behind him was none other than the Jin Family!
