264: A figure coming from afar! (asking for monthly ticket)

“What? This Family, the victims, are fallen soldiers from the Ninth Mountain?

A few days ago, in a projection, thousands of miles away, on the front lines, this troop fought a bloody battle with demons. Most people still remember it vividly, and it caused a great shock at the Heavenly Gate.

Generals fighting countless battles, brave warriors bathed in blood—how tragic and heroic!

These are heroes!

The hero’s mother and widow were treated this way. Faces changed.

“What a sin! How can you bully these orphans and widows? You’ll suffer retribution!” Another neighbor, an old aunt, couldn’t bear to watch. She slapped her thigh and shouted.

“Exactly, exactly!”

“You’re too much of a bully.”

“...”

The surrounding crowd was enraged. The faces of the neighbors in the alley were filled with fury.

“What are you doing?”

“What are you doing?”

“Ninth Mountain, what about Ninth Mountain? Debts must be paid. This old man mortgaged the deed, so this place belongs to my Qing Sha Gang. I’ll tear it down if I want to. Let’s see who dares to speak up.” The leader with the flat nose turned around, his eyes darkening. He stepped forward, his sinister gaze sweeping over the figures outside, and kicked a large marble table in the courtyard.

With a bang, the stone table shattered into pieces.

The voices of the people in the street fell silent, intimidated by the villain’s cunning, snake-like gaze, and they couldn’t help but retreat.

However, the old man who first voiced his indignation, feeling a surge of anger, slammed his cane on the ground, “I heard from Old Third Mother, that was clearly your cunning and forceful….”

Behind him, the old man’s son, fearing his father would provoke these Gang members and suffer, tried to pull him away, but the old man furiously shook him off, trembling with rage, “You beasts, you’ve lost your conscience, you’re trying to force people to their deaths!”

At these words, the flat-nosed man’s face twisted into a sneer.

“Old geezer, you’re asking for it. Grab this old man, and those few who are jumping around so happily.”

As he spoke, he pointed at a few people.

Several Gang members immediately rushed out, like hungry wolves, to seize the neighbors and residents.

The crowd instantly became chaotic and panicked.

Just then, a shout rang out.

“Stop!”

Then, with several muffled thuds, the three Qing Sha Gang members who had rushed forward cried out, simultaneously flying backward, landing on their butts, rolling two and a half times, and then falling face-first onto the ground, groaning in pain.

At the front of the crowd, a figure leaped out. It was a rugged Hunter dressed in black, with a square scarf tied around his head, a simple blade tucked into his waist, eyes like brass bells, a messy beard, and a burly physique.

A Body Profound martial artist of Major Achievement!

“What are you? How dare you meddle in my Qing Sha Gang’s business? Be careful, you might lose your life here.” The flat-nosed man, seeing this, his triangular eyes as sinister as a venomous snake, was furious.

The Hunter’s brass-bell eyes widened. He spat at the man opposite him, “Bah! You scum! You dare to even overturn the coffins of fallen soldiers from the Ninth Mountain? You deserve to die! I can’t stand by and watch; I’ll meddle!”

“You! Good, good, good! I’ll let you know the price of meddling!”

“Blazing Palm.”

The triangular-eyed, flat-nosed man’s eyes flashed with a sinister glint. Then, his feet exploded, and the aura of a Qi Refining Peak martial artist burst forth from his body. In a few flashes, he darted to the front of the rugged Hunter.

His hands turned into glowing red branding irons, fiercely grabbing at the rugged Hunter. His hands were like fire, emitting scorching high temperatures.

The rugged Hunter’s expression changed slightly. He let out a shout, then drew the simple blade from his waist. True Qi covered the blade, and he met the attack.

However, the triangular-eyed man’s Blazing Palm dared to directly resist the blade’s edge, like metal, and with the scorching True Qi, it burned the rugged Hunter’s blade red hot.

At this moment, the remaining Gang members swarmed forward to attack.

The surrounding onlookers, seeing the fight break out, cried out and retreated.

Many neighbors secretly clenched their fists, naturally hoping that the righteous individual who dared to stand up and voice his indignation would win.

But things went against their wishes.

“Clang!”

The sound of a blade falling to the ground. Under the attack of seven or eight people, the simple blade was knocked away, and then,

“Bang!”

The rugged Hunter took a Blazing Palm to the chest. His protective True Qi was broken. He grunted, a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth, and stumbled backward repeatedly.

“Die!”

A ruthless glint flashed in the triangular-eyed man’s pupils. He swiftly pursued, striking out with Blazing Palms, preparing to seize this opportunity to take the man’s life, to show these people the consequences of opposing the Qing Sha Gang, and to make an example of him.

Now was also a good time for the Gang to establish its prestige.

Just then, “Bang, bang.”

Two figures flew out from the crowd again. Each delivered a palm strike, directly countering the triangular-eyed man’s Blazing Palm.

A muffled explosion of air sounded, followed by the triangular-eyed man’s face changing. Then, the figure that had lunged forward was blasted back seven or eight meters, crashing into the remnants of the demolished courtyard wall, letting out a cry of pain.

Then, the man’s figure emerged from the broken bricks, one hand clutching his chest, the other supporting his body as he moved backward. His face then rapidly flushed red, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, grunting. His face showed resentment and anger as he stared fixedly at the two newly appeared individuals.

The two newly appeared individuals had Qi Refining Peak strength. They seemed to be together, and they were also passersby. They simply couldn’t stand the Qing Sha Gang’s actions and, seeing that these Qing Sha Gang thugs intended to kill, they couldn’t restrain themselves from acting.

“Man proposes, God disposes. You’ve gone too far.” One person spoke.

The other sternly rebuked, “Why aren’t you getting lost?!”

This instantly stirred up the emotions of the crowd. The neighbors, seeing the villain punished, felt a surge of courage and joined in the shouts of expulsion, creating a clamor of voices.

“Well done!”

“Get lost!”

“Get out of our Shangyuan Alley!”

“…………”

The lower-ranking Qing Sha Gang members, seeing this situation, were frightened and quickly scurried to the side of the triangular-eyed man, while a trace of venom and panic flashed across the triangular-eyed man’s face.

It was as if they had stirred up a hornet’s nest.

Just as the crowd was agitated, suddenly, a piercing air explosion sound urgently transmitted.

A dull yellow stream of light flashed from the northern rooftop, moving extremely fast, rapidly crashing towards the two righteous individuals who had bravely stepped forward.

“Boom!”

A loud bang.

One figure was seen flying backward, slamming hard against the wall of a house in the alley. The wall crumbled, and the person spat out a large mouthful of blood, groaning in pain.

The other figure was firmly held by the neck by a hand.

Following the gaze, one could see a burly Hunter in purple clothes, with reddish-yellow hair and a face full of rough flesh, whose large hand was tightly gripping the neck of one of the righteous individuals, his eyes filled with fierce light.

“Dare to touch my subordinates? Then die!”

As he spoke, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace, and he brazenly twisted the righteous man’s neck, killing him in the street, right in front of everyone.

The previously agitated crowd instantly erupted in an uproar, their faces changing color.

Meanwhile, the triangular-eyed man and the other Gang members’ faces lit up with joy, “Hall Master!”

The righteous man who had been blasted away, seeing this scene, his eyes splitting with rage, let out a hoarse roar, “Brother!”

The burly Hunter with the rough flesh snorted, threw the corpse in his hand, his leopard-like eyes swiveling. His body transformed into an afterimage, causing an air explosion, intending to kill the other person.

On the rooftops not far away, several brokers who had been drawn out of the tavern by the commotion saw this scene, their expressions changing. A Body Profound expert of the Qing Sha Gang. Some had a sense of injustice in their eyes, eager to act, but ultimately suppressed it.

However,

“Whoosh!”

A tile flew out from the side, shooting through the air towards the burly Hunter of the Qing Sha Gang, with a sharp, piercing sound.

The few people looked to the side, their expressions changing. They saw the man with the awkward face wipe his face, transforming into another appearance, his eyes filled with hatred.

It was said that this was the person who had come to kill his subordinate, the old shopkeeper.

The man surnamed Tang turned his head and transmitted his voice in a deep tone,

“Gentlemen, please help, add some fuel to the fire. After all, we’ve all come down the same path.”

On the other side, the burly Hunter with the rough flesh was about to kill the other righteous man who had stepped forward, but then he saw a sound of rushing air coming from the east.

He slammed his fist, shattering the stream of light with a boom, and his body paused. Then, with a fierce glint in his eyes, he shouted in the direction the stream of light had come from.

“Who? Is there someone else not afraid of death?”

However, a surging sound suddenly echoed in the sky, “I know many people are watching. If evil people are not eliminated, they will harm good people. These people harmed the widows and elderly mothers of the Ninth Mountain soldiers and even killed righteous individuals who stood up in the street. They are inhumane. Soldiers shed blood and sacrificed for us on the front lines; we cannot let their wives, children, and elderly also shed blood. Anyone with a bit of courage should stand up.”

This voice lingered in the sky, ethereal and difficult to pinpoint.

“Yes, kill them!” At this moment, on the other side, another voice rang out.

“They deserve to die!” Another voice rose, filled with indignation.

As these voices rang out, the crowd in Tianyuan Alley, which had initially been in an uproar and retreated in shock, stopped. In the shadows all around, eyes flickered rapidly.

The next second,

“Whoosh!”

A stream of light broke through the air, heading towards the burly Hunter with the rough flesh.

This was like a signal being pulled. Instantly, streams of light broke through the air, flying out from all four corners of the alley, surging towards the opponent in unison, creating a terrifying momentum.

The Qing Sha Gang’s Hall Master, with his face full of rough flesh, whose expression had been ferocious and brutal, changed dramatically upon seeing this scene and let out a furious roar.

“Damn it, you dare!”

As he spoke, his True Qi surged, and his feet moved swiftly, but streams of light blocked him. The next second, more than a dozen streams of light simultaneously struck his body.

A miserable scream.

The Qing Sha Gang’s Hall Master, under the concerted attack, couldn’t even last two breaths. He turned into a charred black corpse and fell to the ground with a “thud,” shattering into pieces.

Immediately after, those streams of light instantly turned and rushed towards the triangular-eyed man and the remaining Qing Sha Gang members, their killing intent surging.

The ferocious joy on these people’s faces turned to horror after their Hall Master was instantly blasted to death by unknown individuals. Seeing these streams of light rushing towards them, they were instantly terrified and fled desperately.

“Pfft!”

“Pfft!”

“Pfft!”

One by one, the wicked Qing Sha Gang members, as they fled towards the courtyard, were pierced through by the streams of light, then screamed and fell.

Only the triangular-eyed man remained, rolling on the ground in terror, narrowly dodging, though a stream of light grazed one of his arms, instantly blasting it off.

The intense pain made him scream. Soon, the stream of light turned a corner, growing larger and larger in his terrified pupils.

However, the next second, the orange stream of light suddenly stopped in the Void Realm, as if held in place by something.

Not just this one, but all the other streams of light did the same.

From the corners in all directions, sounds of surprise and doubt arose, eyes flickering, then narrowing. Above the courtyard, a figure rapidly materialized in the Void Realm.

As this figure appeared, a powerful Heavenly Gate aura surged forth, whipping up a fierce wind that exploded outwards.

Those streams of light that had been fixed in place shattered one after another.

As these streams of light shattered, the bodies of the figures who had secretly acted trembled, their Qi fluctuating, and their positions were thus exposed.

Then, these righteous individuals who had secretly acted saw a pair of eyes filled with killing intent sweep over them one by one. Feeling the strong Heavenly Gate aura from the other party, their expressions changed.

A Heavenly Gate expert!

A very unfamiliar face!

The triangular-eyed man, who had escaped death, seeing the figure above him, had a mix of shock and joy on his face. He quickly scrambled to his feet and revealed the person’s identity.

“Gang Leader!”

That was the Qing Sha Gang Leader.

Dressed in a blue robe, about forty years old, with a sharp face, narrow eye sockets, and pupils like pinholes of white paint, he exuded a chilling aura. At this moment, he lowered his gaze, his voice sinister.

“What happened?”

“Reporting to the Gang Leader, my subordinates were handling things according to the rules with the land deed. This old man’s son died, and they say he was a soldier of the Ninth Mountain…” The triangular-eyed man clutched his broken arm, his face contorted in a grimace, his eyes flickering with venom.

“Ninth Mountain?” The Qing Sha Gang Leader’s pupils flickered intensely upon hearing this, but quickly returned to normal.

A dead man, what is there to fear?

Right now, it was a good opportunity to use this legendary troop to establish prestige and expand his Gang’s influence, allowing him to gather more of the intelligence he wanted to provide to his Family.

The Qing Sha Gang Leader looked down at the crumbling main house, the old woman clutching the coffin, the weeping children, and the young woman with lifeless eyes. He spoke grimly, instructing the triangular-eyed man.

“You, go and send this poor Family on their last journey.”

“As for those people, this Gang Leader thinks it’s time to set some rules in this North City today!”

As he spoke, his needle-like pupils scanned the figures in the alley, his voice turning cold. He swept his hands, conjuring streams of crimson fire snakes as thick as arms.

And the triangular-eyed man, upon hearing the command, looked at the crumbling main hall, at the old woman, the three orphans and widow. His face was filled with cruel ferocity as he walked over, step by step.

The surrounding crowd, sensing the killing intent, retreated in fear, and even more figures flew backward.

Among the retreating figures, the man surnamed Tang, whose Qi had been locked onto by the Qing Sha Gang Leader, felt extremely anxious.

“Such a huge commotion here, why hasn’t anyone arrived yet?”

“Where are the yamen officials? Where are the Dao Fu Division people?”

Regardless of whether the Dao Fu Division had lost power or was unable to control the situation, a starved camel was still bigger than a horse. At least, on the surface, Jinguancheng had not lost control.

As he was thinking, movement indeed came from the south.

“Charge!”

“Charge!”

“Charge!”

From the distant Void Realm, shouts echoed, followed by the clatter of several horse hooves.

Soon, three blurry black figures, riding horses, came stepping through the air from the south!

From far to near, moving at extreme speed, their vision gradually cleared. They saw three Black Armored Soldiers on large horses, riding and carrying banners, approaching!
