Breaking the Door

Black Tiger Gang, Inside the main hall.

Shi Meng sat at the head seat, his legs crossed imposibly wide.

Below him, the various high-ranking members of the gang stood at attention.

Shi Meng's gloomy and imposing gaze swept across the surroundings. A palpable pressure emerged, blanketing the entire hall, which fell into silence.

"The Sifang Society is aggressively advancing. I had originally considered a temporary retreat, letting them be arrogant for a while. After all, as soon as that person arrives, their immense disaster will be imminent."

His low voice echoed throughout the hall.

Shi Meng suppressed his anger, closing his eyes.

"But who would have known, after this Gang Leader endured and endured, those scoundrels have pushed their luck again and again!"

"Since they wish to court death, then this Gang Leader shall grant them their wish!"

"In this negotiation, this Gang Leader will deal with their higher-ups, but that is not enough!"

"This Gang Leader does not want such a thing to happen again, so everyone connected to the Sifang Society, and to the Weilong Martial Arts School, must die!"

Shi Meng suddenly opened his eyes. His immense killing intent, like a tangible force, surged out and swept through the entire hall!

Under the impact of that terrifying aura, everyone felt a sense of suffocation!

But beneath this intense oppressive aura, those closer to the front, while shocked, had their eyes shining with brilliance.

"Gang Leader, you've broken through?!"

"Hmph! Indeed. In truth, this Gang Leader reached the late Viscera Refining Realm many years ago. These past years, I merely cultivated a certain powerful technique, thus remaining reclusive, unknown to you all."

Shi Meng wore a powerful, confident expression. He slowly raised his large hands, which resembled cushions, and slowly clenched them in mid-air.

A wisp of deep crimson flame rose like a tangible entity in his palm, burning slowly, distorting the air, and exuding an incredibly terrifying pressure!

At this moment, a terrifying aura silently permeated every corner of the space!

This was a far more dreadful, oppressive fear than before!

It made everyone's hearts feel as if they were being squeezed!

"Congratulations, Gang Leader, on your divine art's completion!"

"With the Gang Leader like this, the Sifang Society is no longer a threat!"

Beyond the shock, Song Ding, the deputy leader of the Black Tiger Gang, was overjoyed.

As the only one present who had directly fought Hall Master Feng of the Sifang Society, he could clearly feel that the Shi Meng before him possessed an even stronger aura than Hall Master Feng!

Thinking back to how he was defeated in three moves at the city gate, his face trampled upon and ground into the dirt by the other party, Song Ding felt a surge of humiliation and rage.

He had originally thought the decline of the Black Tiger Gang was a foregone conclusion.

Who would have thought that after years of seclusion, the Gang Leader's strength would reach a new level, surpassing that person? Soon, they would begin to completely eliminate those fellows from the Sifang Society. How could he not be excited?!

"Gang Leader, just give the order!"

"During the negotiation, I will go all out and teach them a profound lesson!"

Song Ding's hands trembled slightly with excitement.

However, Shi Meng shook his head.

"No, Brother Song, for this negotiation, I alone am sufficient. You have a more important task to perform!"

A ferocious glint appeared in Shi Meng's eyes.

"In recent days, seeing the Sifang Society's growing power, many factions in the town have defected to their side."

"What you need to do, while I am dealing with their higher-ups, is to lead men to purge all those damned traitors. Do not let a single one escape!"

"And not just them. Everyone connected to the Weilong Martial Arts School, and to the Sifang Society, including their families, young and old, must all be purged!"

As these words were spoken, those below were startled.

Someone couldn't help but exclaim in horror:

"But Gang Leader, if that's the case, we'll likely have to kill up to twenty percent of the people in Huangshi Town!"

"This is precisely what this Gang Leader intends!"

A monstrously ferocious expression appeared on Shi Meng's face.

"Since they betrayed us, they must naturally pay the price for their betrayal!"

"Since we are to kill, we must kill enough! Kill until everyone is terrified, let them know the price of daring to betray this gang!"

"They can only blame their bad luck!"

A cold killing intent surged out, Everyone present trembled, not daring to object.

"Shi Meng, while I'm negotiating with those fools, you'll take people and kill all the entry-level martial artists in the city who are connected to them. I'll give you a list. Go through them one by one. As for the others, you'll purge the families, friends, and all connected mortals of the Weilong Martial Arts School disciples!"

"This time, this Gang Leader will secure at least thirty years of stability!"

As he spoke, A list was handed to the Deputy Gang Leader, Shi Meng.

He slowly opened it.

The first name on it, Was Yang Qingyun!

On this day, The entire Huangshi Town was in turmoil, Various factions harbored their own intentions.

There wasn't a single person to be seen on the streets. Everyone knew that a top-tier negotiation involving the entire Huangshi Town's most powerful forces was about to begin.

A city-wide chaotic battle was also imminent.

On this very day, As both sides' forces, along with the town's other two major powers, gathered in the Huangshi Town square.

However, this had little to do with Yang Qingyun.

At this moment, he was still at home, diligently practicing the Blood Melting Body Tempering Fist, continuously refining his Qi and Blood, and strengthening the resilience of his Dantian and meridians.

However, BOOM!!!

Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed, The courtyard gate was blasted open.

Wang Xiaoshi's figure was sent flying into the house.

"Young Master, it's bad! The Black Tiger Gang is here to kill us!"

Amidst the screams, the Black Tiger Gang's members charged in. Several of them, brandishing sabers, lunged towards Wang Xiaoshi, who lay on the ground.

At the same time, "Whoever is named Yang Qingyun, get out here and die!"

A fierce shout reverberated through the air. Shi Meng strode in, his movements powerful, entering the courtyard from outside.

Bang bang bang!

Suddenly, The figures who had been about to strike Wang Xiaoshi with their sabers were hit by a powerful force, sending several of them flying.

At some unknown point, Yang Qingyun's figure appeared.

He stood in front of Wang Xiaoshi.

"What is the meaning of this? I don't recall having any grievances with your Black Tiger Gang, do I?"

Seeing Shi Meng, the Gang Leader of the Black Tiger Gang, leading their ferocious members into his home, Yang Qingyun's expression turned grim.

"Indeed, there are no grievances. But who told you to associate with people you shouldn't have? Today, all of you connected to the Weilong Martial Arts School and the Sifang Society will die!"

Confirming Yang Qingyun's identity, Shi Meng sneered.

Whoosh!

He transformed into an afterimage, his fingers flying, his five digits like hooks, carrying a formidable aura as he lunged towards Yang Qingyun's neck!

The power of the Viscera Refining Realm was fully displayed at this moment. His fingertips tore through the air, emitting sharp whistles, incredibly fearsome!

As the first person on the list, Shi Meng had also inquired about the reasons.

He had only then learned that this person was on very good terms with Zhou Weilong of the Weilong Martial Arts School.

The latter often delivered medicinal ingredients and visited frequently.

Coupled with the incident where Zhou Weilong had sacrificed the reputation of the Weilong Martial Arts School to promote the other party on Black Wind Mountain when he first appeared.

This led the Black Tiger Gang's strategist, Zuo Xiangsheng, to believe that their initial assessment of this individual might have been mistaken.

The truth was likely that Zhou Weilong, seeing the person's exceptional talent, had decided to recruit and invest in him early on. Thus, he had spared no effort in supplying him with medicinal ingredients and resources for cultivation, forging a relationship in advance.

It was likely that the story of him confronting the Golden-Eyed Leopard on Black Wind Mountain held some truth.

Even if the rumors were exaggerated, this person probably possessed the ability to contend with those in the Viscera Refining Realm!

This undoubtedly made Zuo Xiangsheng, as the Black Tiger Gang's strategist, extremely wary.

At such a young age, With the potential to possess such strength, if he were allowed to escape, he would undoubtedly become a great enemy of the Black Tiger Gang in the future!

Therefore, the grass must be cut at the roots, and Yang Qingyun became the first on the list!

He was also the one Song Ding absolutely had to kill on this trip!
