Devouring the Starry Sky: Cultivation Makes Me Stronger Chapter 18

As for the remaining bald, burly man.

He had reacted as well, but his opponent was Luo Feng. Even if he wanted to flee, he could not escape. Before long, he followed in his teammates' footsteps and became crippled too.

The Tiger Tooth Squad had originally consisted of six people.

Yet in such a short time, only three remained; the other three had all been crippled.

"Bastard!" Seeing his crippled teammates, Tiger Tooth's eyes nearly split with rage. His eyes were bloodshot, and he wanted nothing more than to devour Luo Shen's flesh, gnaw his bones, and carve him into a human stick!

But unfortunately, he could not do it.

Even in their one-on-one fight just now, he had nearly been beheaded by Luo Shen's blade. If he had not retreated quickly enough, even his left arm would have been hard to preserve.

"Senior Liu."

Tiger Tooth looked at the cold, gray-haired elder. Seeing that the other man remained unmoved, he gritted his teeth. "Please uphold justice for me. I am willing to offer up all the wealth I have accumulated over the years."

He knew.

If he wanted to turn things around, he could only rely on these two high-level war generals.

But the gray-haired elder merely cast him a cold glance, the distance in his eyes unmistakable. Tiger Tooth immediately fell silent. He could see that the other party would never risk offending a young martial genius for the sake of his meager wealth.

Most importantly—

Even if they were willing to act, they might not necessarily be able to take the other side down.

"Young Master Li Wei," Luo Shen suddenly called out loudly.

When Li Wei and the others looked over, Luo Shen revealed a harmless smile. "I don't think there's any irreconcilable hatred between us. There's no need to fight to the death over certain petty people. What do you think?"

Li Wei frowned and pointed at Luo Feng. "But he just aimed his throwing knives at me!"

"At least you weren't hurt in any way, were you?"

Luo Shen smiled faintly and pointed at the Twin-headed Blackline Snake's corpse on the ground. "Still, to show our sincerity, we can give you half of the two venom sacs from this Twin-headed Blackline Snake."

The most valuable part of a Blackline Snake was its venom sac.

Though they were only giving him one, it was still worth a considerable sum.

Neither Luo Feng nor Gao Feng spoke. They could both tell that Li Wei's status was clearly extraordinary. If they could settle him with one venom sac, that would naturally be for the best.

"I want half of the snake scales too!"

Li Wei pointed at Tiger Tooth and the others. "And them—I'm taking them with me as well."

After exchanging glances with Gao Feng and Luo Feng, Luo Feng finally made the decision. He nodded, signaling for Luo Shen to agree to their terms.

"No problem!" Luo Shen said.

They had to give the other side some face. Otherwise, if they really fought, it would be quite troublesome.

Luo Shen and the other two then began dissecting the Twin-headed Blackline Snake in front of Li Wei and the others. They mainly removed the venom sacs and stripped off the snake skin, cutting the entire hide into two halves. They wrapped the venom sac in one half and tossed it to Tiger Tooth from more than ten meters away.

Tiger Tooth's eyes nearly spewed fire, but he could only watch Luo Shen and the others helplessly.

Taking a deep breath, he put away the snake skin and venom sac.

"Senior Liu." Tiger Tooth looked at the gray-haired elder, still unwilling to give up.

Li Wei beside him also looked toward the elder.

The gray-haired elder understood what they meant, but he merely shook his head and leaned close to Li Wei's ear to advise him in a low voice. "Young Master, our main mission is to protect you and help temper you. The other side acted against you just now only in self-defense, and they have already offered sufficiently sincere compensation. If we act again, we'll be the ones in the wrong."

"And besides—"

The gray-haired elder glanced at Tiger Tooth, who was eavesdropping nearby. "This trouble was caused by them in the first place. There's no need for us to clean up their mess."

Li Wei froze.

He turned to look at the burly white man and saw that he wore the same expression of agreement.

With both bodyguards sharing the same opinion, Li Wei could only helplessly order Tiger Tooth, "Let's go."

"Yes!"

Seeing that the situation was beyond saving, Tiger Tooth could only darken his face and have the one-eyed middle-aged man and the gunman A Xiao help up their three crippled teammates one by one. They followed behind Li Wei as they left.

Watching Li Wei and the others depart, Luo Shen let out a cold laugh.

If not for Li Wei, none of the Tiger Tooth Squad would have had the chance to leave.

Still, with three burdens in tow, it was unlikely they could safely leave the Wilderness Area. It all depended on just how hard Tiger Tooth's heart was—would three people die, or would he drag the entire squad down with them!

The three continued harvesting materials from the Twin-headed Blackline Snake.

Besides the most valuable venom sacs and snake skin, its gallbladder and other parts could also fetch a good price.

With their haul in hand, the three quickly returned to their encampment.

"Brother Qing, how far have the Tiger Tooth Squad gotten?" As soon as they returned, Luo Shen immediately asked.

Luo Feng and Gao Feng also looked over.

Now was when the Tiger Tooth Squad was at its weakest. They could not let such a good opportunity slip away. Pursue the enemy while strength remained; do not imitate the Hegemon King out of vain pride!

They absolutely could not pass up the chance to beat a dog while it was down!

At the northern window, Wei Qing held up a pair of binoculars and pointed below. "They just left Dream City Residential Area and headed east along the street. Jinjiang Chain Hotel—they went into Jinjiang Chain Hotel. Looks like that's their temporary base."

"Captain, should we make a move?" Chen Gu asked.

In terms of strength, the Thunder Squad was not much stronger than them now.

If the entire Fire Hammer Squad moved out and launched a surprise attack, they indeed had a chance of wiping out the Tiger Tooth Squad in one go.

"Yeah, Captain. Just give the order, and we'll set out immediately!"

The Wei Qing and Wei Tie brothers looked at Gao Feng.

They had never forgotten Zhang Ke's grievance. Before, they lacked both the strength and the opportunity. Now that they had finally encountered such a perfect chance, they would regret it for the rest of their lives if they let it slip away.

"There's something I need to remind everyone of."

Luo Shen's voice suddenly rang out.

It was not loud, but everyone heard it clearly. All eyes turned to Luo Shen.

"Thanks to reader 20200419105219139 for the monthly ticket, thank you!"

"A-Shen, just say whatever you have to say."

Luo Feng looked at Luo Shen.

Just now, Luo Shen had fought two against one and crippled Zhang Zehu and Gunner Dongzi with his blade. Then, he had forced back Tiger Tooth, who had attacked in fury. It could be said that without Luo Shen, Gao Feng and Luo Feng alone would have found it difficult even to retreat unscathed.

"Luo Shen, do you know that mixed-race young man's identity?"

Gao Feng also looked at Luo Shen.

Judging from Luo Shen's reaction to the mixed-race young man earlier, he clearly knew who the other party was.

Luo Shen nodded.

Without beating around the bush, he directly revealed everything he knew. "That mixed-race young man is named Li Wei. He is the only son of High-level War God Li Yao and Vinina, the HR Alliance China Region Executive President. The two bodyguards beside him were specially sent by his parents to protect him."

A High-level War God!

The HR Alliance China Region Executive President!

Those two titles were truly intimidating. Even the Wei Qing and Wei Tie brothers, who had shouted the loudest about fighting the Tiger Tooth Squad to the death, fell silent now.

Enemies of that level were not people ordinary martial artists like them could afford to provoke.

"So that's why you didn't kill Zhang Zehu and the others just now?" Gao Feng asked.

He had been somewhat puzzled earlier. Since Luo Shen had the strength to kill Zhang Zehu and the other two, why had he spared them out of kindness? Clearly, he had been wary of Li Wei's identity and did not want to completely escalate the conflict.

"That was one reason."

Luo Shen nodded without denying it.

Li Wei's parents, the Vulture Li Yao and the Poison Scorpion Vinina, were not people to be taken lightly.

There was no need to clash with those two over a mere Tiger Tooth Squad.

"Young people care about their pride," Luo Shen said. "If I killed them all, they would have nothing left to hold back for. If it really came to a fight, we might not necessarily have the upper hand."

After all, the other side had three High-level Warlords, unless Luo Feng was willing to expose his identity as a Mind Controller.

"Our target isn't Li Wei either. It's only the Tiger Tooth Squad."

Luo Feng clenched his fists and said in a low voice through gritted teeth, "I have never forgotten that Brother Zhang lost his arm because of the Tiger Tooth Squad. Now that we've finally come across such a good opportunity, I refuse to give it up no matter what!"

When he had first joined the Fire Hammer Squad, the people closest to him had been Chen Gu and Zhang Ke.

Moreover, he had always believed that the Tiger Tooth Squad had attacked them because of the grudge between him and Zhang Zehu. Zhang Ke had suffered because of him, which was why he harbored such intense hatred toward the Tiger Tooth Squad.

"Senior Brother, I'll go with you," Luo Shen said.

He did not actually want to get involved in the feud between the Fire Hammer Squad and the Tiger Tooth Squad.
