355: Chapter 355 Killing

The Wulianghai Martial Arts Gym is one of the largest martial arts gyms in Quancheng.

It occupies a twenty-two-story building made entirely of glass, looking glitzy and golden. The five golden characters of "Wulianghai Martial Arts Gym" stand tall at the top of the building, with lights on all day long, visible from several kilometers away, and even further at night.

Beyond its impressive hardware, its strength is equally formidable. It has trained over a hundred champions in various levels of combat sports competitions, and these championships are mostly just side hustles for the disciples, not their main profession.

The primary business of the Wulianghai Martial Arts Gym, from top to bottom, is providing security and security training services for Zhang Dahai and the numerous businesses under his umbrella.

To put it bluntly, it is just a gang of thugs.

But on the surface, it looks very legitimate.

Han Jingyang and his group of four pushed the door open and entered. A very professional young lady in a business suit, wearing a professional smile, walked up to them: "Sir, ladies, this is the Wulianghai Martial Arts Gym. How may I..."

Han Jingyang patted the longsword in his hand: "We're here for revenge. If you don't want to die, get down."

The young lady in the business suit froze for a moment, then slowly crawled onto the floor and inched her way toward the corner.

At this moment, two security guards realized something was wrong. They hit the alarm button and rushed out, wielding batons: "Drop your weapons!"

While shouting, they swung their batons toward Han Jingyang, likely assuming he was the biggest threat because he was the tallest and the only man.

This time, Yang Jinyuan moved first. She lunged forward with her sword. Facing the two security guards who were nearly 1.9 meters tall, she slashed twice with her longsword, nimbly severing the hands of both guards.

Blood splattered everywhere.

The two security guards dropped their batons, clutched their wrists, and let out blood-curdling screams.

The next second, the screaming came to an abrupt halt.

Shi Xiaoya retracted her katana with an expressionless face, glanced at Yang Jinyuan, said nothing, and headed straight for the second floor with her blade in hand.

Liu Jing also followed, holding her blade and walking slowly.

Yang Jinyuan looked at Shi Xiaoya and Liu Jing going upstairs, then turned back to look at Han Jingyang.

Han Jingyang pointed to a row of benches by the door: "Sit down. There might be some stragglers, so protect me."

"Yes, Boss." Having received her orders, Yang Jinyuan immediately felt reassured. Without hesitation, she wiped down a bench for Han Jingyang, and after he sat down, she stood guard by his side with her sword.

The two of them guarded the first floor, quietly listening to the bursts of commotion, shouts, cries, screams, and the clanging sounds of impact coming from upstairs.

The chaotic sounds lasted for over half an hour before gradually quieting down.

An hour later, Liu Jing and Shi Xiaoya came downstairs with their blades. Both were covered in blood, but their expressions were indifferent.

Upon reaching the ground floor, Shi Xiaoya tossed her hair with a flourish: "Mission accomplished. We've successfully killed Zhang Changyuan and his band of thugs."

"Any survivors?"

"About a dozen. They all surrendered as soon as they saw the situation was hopeless."

"Good. Let's go, to the next place."

Just as Han Jingyang finished speaking, his phone rang.

It was Zhang Dahai calling.

He answered it casually: "Boss Zhang Dahai, what's up?"

Zhang Dahai's tone was very cold: "Han Jingyang, you've gone too far."

Han Jingyang laughed out loud: "Too far? This is just the beginning. Zhang Dahai, let me tell you, this has only just started. There's more to come, so don't be in a rush. Just wait a little longer; I'll be at your house soon."

"Are you sure you want to fight me to the death?"

"Sorry, but the moment you laid a hand on my family, you were destined to face my most insane revenge," Han Jingyang said coldly. "Zhang Dahai, remember, this is a fight to the death. I will kill all your subordinates and your family, leaving not a single one alive."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and gestured to Shi Xiaoya: "Let's go, to the next place."

Bar Street.

By the time the four of them arrived at Bar Street, it was already getting dark.

The street was starting to get lively. It seemed the person in charge here hadn't received any warning, as all the entertainment venues were operating as usual.

In the car.

Shi Xiaoya turned her head to look at Han Jingyang: "Husband, how should we handle this?"

"Kill our way through. Start from one end of the street and kill to the other. Don't spare a single place."

"But there are so many ordinary people..."

"Kill a few to show them."

"What if they call the police?"

"Zhang Dahai will help us block any trouble."

As he said this, Han Jingyang got out of the car, holding his longsword, and walked into a bar.

A plainclothes security guard at the door reached out to stop him: "What are you doing?"

Han Jingyang shook his head.

This time, Yang Jinyuan did not hesitate. She drew her sword and slashed down.

"Pfft—"

The plainclothes guard slowly collapsed, blood staining more than half of the door.

A few young girls who were chatting at the door witnessed this scene. They froze for a moment, then let out earth-shattering screams and turned to run, scrambling and stumbling away.

Another plainclothes guard was terrified and hurriedly pulled out his walkie-talkie: "Manager! Manager! Someone's been killed! Someone killed Liu Zi—"

Before he could finish, Yang Jinyuan slashed down with her sword again.

The group of four stepped over the fallen security guard and strode inside.

The bar, which had been relatively quiet, instantly descended into chaos, with men and women panicking and scrambling in every direction.

Yang Jinyuan and Shi Xiaoya raised their blades and began their pursuit. Whoever looked like a bar employee was met with a slash or a sword thrust.

It was a complete bloodbath.

The manager just poked his head out to take a look and was immediately decapitated by Shi Xiaoya.

Mercilessly.

By the time the four of them left, there was almost no one alive in the bar, save for a few who saw the situation was dire and immediately got down to beg for mercy. Those who were a bit slow to beg for mercy couldn't escape the blade.

The second place.

The third place.

The fourth place.

...

The four of them swept through the street like this.

Han Jingyang's face remained expressionless, and he never made a move. Every time they entered, he would stand there with a cold face, watching Yang Jinyuan and Shi Xiaoya do the work.

After they had killed their way through half the street, his phone rang again. It was Zhang Dahai calling.

He glanced at it and hung up directly.

Soon, it changed to Shen Yuhai.

This time, he answered: "Old Shen, if you're acting as a lobbyist, don't bother speaking. I'd hate to damage our friendship."

Shen Yuhai smiled bitterly: "Brother, let me just say one thing. Do not harm the innocent. If too many innocent people are killed or injured, the impact will be extremely bad, and the aftermath will be incredibly difficult to handle. By then, let alone me, even my old superior will likely be unable to escape the consequences."

Han Jingyang grunted: "I am only targeting Zhang Dahai's subordinates."

"That's fine then. Sigh, brother, it's truly terrifying. The people who went to clean up the scene at Wulianghai all threw up; it was like a slaughterhouse. Everything above the second floor was full of dead bodies. Sigh, who knows what kind of paranormal stories will spread tomorrow. A gag order is being issued right now, and the whole unit is busy, including other departments and even the armed police. Brother, you need to take it easy."

"I know what I'm doing."

"I'm just afraid you'll get carried away by the killing. Tell you what, brother, give me a bottom line. How many people do you have to kill before you'll stop?"

"Zhang Dahai's entire family and the entire families of his core subordinates."

"This..."

"That's it, Old Shen. This matter is non-negotiable. No one's persuasion will work. Whoever tries to persuade me is my enemy."

"Alright, alright, I won't try to persuade you. That's all. Take care of yourself. Zhang Dahai has many capable people under him, and even more ruthless ones. Don't trip up."

After hanging up with Shen Yuhai, Zhang Zhiyang called.

Han Jingyang thought for a moment and answered: "Section Chief Zhang, what's up?"

Zhang Zhiyang sighed: "Brother, is there no other way to resolve this?"

"No. This time, it's a fight to the death between me and Zhang Dahai. Either he kills my whole family, or I kill his. Whoever dares to stand in my way, I will kill their whole family too. There is no room for negotiation. What? Do you want to try?"
