A breeze stirred, flames flickered, and the corners of his clothes swayed in the wind.
Ye Xiaofan walked forward step by step, as if he hadn't seen Shi Chui and Liu Damao charging at him.
Shi Chui and Liu Damao exchanged a look, their minds connecting in an instant.
Liu Damao would lead the main attack from the front, while Shi Chui spun his feet, sidestepped, and attacked Ye Xiaofan from behind.
A pincer attack, man plus man – their favorite way to take down scoundrels.
"Clang!"
The Sword Drawing Technique – a sword drawn always draws blood!
Just as Shi Chui took half a step forward, he heard a pleasant sword chime. His neck felt a chill, and then his consciousness plunged into endless darkness.
A sword sliced across Shi Chui's throat. With a twist of the wrist, the sword's momentum didn't lessen as it shot out like a sea dragon, piercing straight for Liu Damao's heart.
Liu Damao blocked with his saber, but Ye Xiaofan flicked his wrist, the sword tip lightly tapping the saber's body, causing it to pause momentarily.
"No~"
Liu Damao's eyes widened in fury, frantically urging the Qi and Blood within him, trying to push his saber an inch further.
The saber did move, but it was too late. The blood-red sword pierced his chest, instantly shredding his heart.
"You~"
The saber slipped from his grasp, embedding itself in the cracks between the bluestone slabs. Liu Damao's lips twitched, and he collapsed to the ground.
It took Ye Xiaofan only one or two breaths to kill Liu Damao. After Ye Xiaofan's sword had sliced through Shi Chui's throat and extinguished his life, Shi Chui's body instinctively lunged forward a few steps and fell to the ground almost at the same time as Liu Damao.
Sheathing his sword!
Ye Xiaofan continued to walk forward step by step, as if he had done nothing.
The only sounds in the world seemed to be heavy breathing and footsteps.
The members of the Black Tiger Gang's eyes were filled with terror, cold sweat pouring down their bodies. They watched Ye Xiaofan approach, their Adam's apples bobbing as they wanted to retreat.
But their legs felt as if they no longer belonged to them, rooted to the spot and completely disobedient.
Some who were utterly terrified even wet their pants.
"Everyone, don't be nervous. I only want money, not your lives."
Ye Xiaofan stopped, his arms crossed over his sword, and said in a very gentle tone.
"I, I know where it is. Don't kill me, I'll take you there."
At the front, a thin, pale young man with dark circles under his eyes 'bang' sound, knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly to Ye Xiaofan, saying tremblingly, "I know too, I know too."
With the first, there was a second, a third...
Everyone followed suit, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing vigorously, constantly shouting, "I know too, I know too."
"You, get up and take me."
Ye Xiaofan pointed at the first young man with dark circles who had knelt down.
The young man with dark circles was overjoyed. "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."
He kowtowed a few more times, his forehead breaking open, before he laboriously stood up, bending his body as he approached Ye Xiaofan.
"Heh!"
A mocking smile appeared on Ye Xiaofan's lips, followed by a cold laugh with an unfathomable meaning. The young man with dark circles trembled all over, his movements freezing.
"Sir, please follow me. I know where all the wealth and cultivation techniques of the Black Tiger Gang are."
The young man with dark circles stood obediently, bowing and fawning, and made a gesture to lead the way.
Seeing this, the other gang members despaired.
Useless people were destined to die.
Now that this mysterious expert had found a guide, they were certainly doomed.
Because this was the usual modus operandi of their Black Tiger Gang – useless people were a waste of air even if they lived.
'Bang!' 'Bang!' 'Bang!'
"Sir, I know where the silver is even better than him. Please let me lead you."
The sound of heads hitting the bluestone slabs, followed by pleas, continued.
Ye Xiaofan remained unmoved, his arms still crossed over his sword as he walked towards them.
The moment he approached the young man with dark circles, An unexpected change occurred.
The young man with dark circles, who had been bowing and fawning moments before, suddenly had fierce eyes. A dark dagger instantly appeared in his hand.
However, Ye Xiaofan was faster. Just as the dagger's tip was revealed, the sword sheath tapped his forehead.
The dark dagger slipped from his hand and fell onto the bluestone, making a crisp clinking sound.
"The boss won't let you go..."
The panda-eyed man looked at Ye Xiaofan, and the next moment, with red and white matter flowing from his seven orifices, he fell straight backward.
"Hall Master of the Dark Hall, An Ying!"
If you like this book, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
Ye Xiaofan whispered, from this moment on, all the high-ranking members of the Black Tiger Gang were killed by him.
The Black Tiger Gang, which had dominated Qingyang County for over a decade, became history from then on.
The movements of the Black Tiger Gang members seemed to be frozen.
Silence fell upon the scene once more.
"I only seek wealth, not my life. I won't say it a third time."
"You, lead the way."
Ye Xiaofan spoke again, pointing at someone with a cultivation level of Body Refining Third Level.
This person's cultivation was decent, likely a minor leader, and should know where the Black Tiger Gang's money was.
"Me, me?"
Li Dajiang swallowed, looked around, pointed at himself, and asked stammeringly with uncertainty.
"Lead the way!"
"Yes, yes, Master!"
Li Dajiang pushed himself up with his hands, his legs having lost their support. Without daring to hesitate, he started leading the way.
Ye Xiaofan followed Li Dajiang through the crowd. No one dared to resist in the slightest.
As Ye Xiaofan's figure disappeared.
"Run!"
Someone shouted, and the crowd immediately reacted, scrambling towards the Black Tiger Gang's main entrance.
"Does the Black Tiger Gang have any Mid-grade cultivation techniques?"
Ye Xiaofan now had Xiao Qiaofeng as his backer, and he could enter and exit the Demon Suppression Division's Technique Pavilion at will, so Low-grade cultivation techniques no longer interested him. If there was a Mid-grade cultivation technique, it would be worth taking to the Black Market to sell for some money.
"Yes, yes, Zhang Dahu cultivates a Mid-grade cultivation technique. I, I don't know where it is."
Li Dajiang cautiously glanced at Ye Xiaofan as he spoke.
Ye Xiaofan said nothing more. He couldn't be bothered to look for it. He'd take the money and leave.
The matter of the Black Tiger Gang wouldn't be kept secret for long.
Seeing Ye Xiaofan's silence, Li Dajiang broke out in a cold sweat. After only a few steps, he looked as if he had just emerged from water.
Afterward, Ye Xiaofan killed the Black Tiger Gang members guarding the warehouse and followed Li Dajiang into the Black Tiger Gang's underground silver storage.
The basement wasn't large, about ten zhang.
Inside, neatly arranged were rows upon rows of boxes.
There were medicinal herbs, mineral materials, weapons, and illicit drugs.
Ye Xiaofan withdrew his gaze and looked at Li Dajiang.
"Go, open all the boxes containing silver. After that, you can scram."
A flicker of joy crossed Li Dajiang's face as he hurried forward to open the boxes.
There were as many as four hundred boxes. It took Li Dajiang quite a while to open all the boxes containing silver.
"Master, I~"
"Scram!"
Li Dajiang felt a great sense of relief and scrambled out of the basement.
"I'm rich, I'm rich!"
With Li Dajiang gone, Ye Xiaofan could no longer suppress his excitement. He rushed forward, grabbed the silver, and his pupils instantly transformed into the shape of silver ingots.
"System, quickly, top up."
Ye Xiaofan brushed past each box, and the silver inside vanished instantly.
The balance on the panel kept climbing.
+1000!
+1000!
"Haha, four hundred thousand, haha, Top-grade cultivation technique, here I come."
Looking at the 417,000 balance on the panel, Ye Xiaofan wished he could start fusing the techniques right away.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Ye Xiaofan examined the weapons displayed there.
"The weapons are ordinary, not as good as the one in my hand."
Afterward, Ye Xiaofan went to the place where the medicinal herbs and pills were stored.
There were over ten boxes storing medicinal herbs, 100 Blood Qi Pills, and 200 Healing Pills and Detoxification Pills each.
"Sigh, I wish I could take it all. If only I had some storage space."
Ye Xiaofan's heart ached at the sight of so many medicinal herbs he couldn't carry.
Fortunately, the seals on each box described the type of medicinal herb and its age.
Ye Xiaofan finally selected five boxes containing medicinal herbs that were labeled as five years old or more.
Including the boxes filled with pills, he left the Black Tiger Gang carrying a total of six boxes.
