The brawny Fourth Leader looked at the Warehouse Manager and the Patrol Captain. Both sides told different stories, and an idea suddenly came to him.
"Cut the crap! No one can fool me, Shi Lao Si! As long as I kill all of you, there won't be any trouble!"
Both sides were dumbfounded. What kind of bullshit logic was that?
With an order from the Fourth Leader, the gang members launched an indiscriminate attack on both groups.
"Shi Lao Si, you idiot!"
"Coming to the Black Stone Gang was eight lifetimes' worth of rotten luck!"
Outside, the fighting raged fiercely, with no distinction between friend and foe.
Inside the warehouse, Chen Yi happily looted away.
The chests were packed to the brim. They would be enough for him to squander for quite some time, and Chen Yi felt it was time to leave.
"I should head to the docks, pick up Dachun, and get out of this damned place... Hm?"
In a corner of the warehouse,
Chen Yi spotted a white mask marked with a black flame pattern.
He clearly remembered that the mysterious people who had slaughtered his family and the entire Luoding Village had worn masks exactly like this!
"Why would the Black Stone Gang have this mask? Could they have taken part in the village massacre?"
Chen Yi's gaze turned sharp in an instant. Dragging the large chest behind him, he kicked open the warehouse door.
By then, Shi Lao Si had already wiped out both groups that had been fighting outside.
"Hahaha! See? I told you no one could fool me!"
When he turned around, he happened to see Chen Yi emerging.
"Instructor Chen, there's no need for your help. I've already dealt with those troublesome fools!"
Someone reminded him.
"Fourth Leader! Something's wrong! Instructor Chen seems to be stealing money!"
Shi Lao Si glanced at the chest Chen Yi was dragging, and his expression immediately darkened.
"Chen, what do you mean by this? Even I, the dignified Fourth Leader, only dare to secretly take a little when I'm short on money. How can you take an entire chest at once?!"
Was that really the point?
Chen Yi was speechless. This guy's intelligence did not even qualify him to sit at the same table as Dachun.
"Whose mask is this?"
Chen Yi took out the white mask.
Shi Lao Si gave it a glance and shook his head.
"Don't know it! Put that chest of money down first, or don't blame me for getting rough!"
"If you don't know, then go die."
"Oh? So after having one meal with the gang leader, you don't know the height of heaven or the depth of earth anymore? None of you move. I'll teach him a lesson myself!"
Shi Lao Si raised a spiked mace and smashed it down at him.
Chen Yi neither dodged nor evaded. He swung his hand and slapped upward.
With Spiritual Qi protecting his body, no matter how sharp the spikes on that mace were, as long as it was not a Spiritual Artifact, and Shi Lao Si's realm was lower than Chen Yi's, it would be difficult to hurt him.
Slap!!
With a resounding slap, the spiked mace vanished from Shi Lao Si's hand on the spot.
Slap!!
Shi Lao Si looked around in every direction for his weapon. Chen Yi backhanded him with another slap, sending him spinning seven hundred and twenty degrees through the air.
If not for all the fat on his body, that slap would have killed or crippled him.
Dazed and disoriented from the beating, Shi Lao Si finally realized something was wrong.
"What are you standing around for?! Get him!"
"Fourth Leader, didn't you tell us not to move?"
"Pig brains! Can't you see I can't beat him?!"
It would have made no difference no matter how many people came at him.
Chen Yi simply lifted the chest full of gold, silver, and jewels and smashed it into the charging gang members.
Boom!!
One swing of the chest left heads split and blood flowing, silver ingots flying everywhere!
Boom!!
Another swing shattered bones and snapped tendons, sending jewels raining through the air!
There were no flashy techniques or martial arts—only a pure crushing advantage in raw attributes.
And of course, there was the effect of "Badminton Master," which gave Chen Yi's right arm double strength and made every chest swing even more vicious.
A few clever fellows on the outskirts fetched bows, preparing to unleash a wave of ranged firepower.
Chen Yi answered with the Wind Surge Palm.
A violent gale rose from flat ground, blowing those fellows who wanted to fire cold arrows away along with their bows from dozens of meters away.
Slap!!
Chen Yi planted a foot on Shi Lao Si's chest, leaving him unable to move.
The surviving lackeys around them no longer dared step forward.
"I'll ask you one more time. Do you recognize this mask?"
Shi Lao Si felt several of his ribs had already broken, and his expression was incomparably sincere.
"Brother Chen, I really don't recognize this mask. Can't you ask me about something I do recognize? I absolutely won't lie!"
Chen Yi believed that he truly did not know.
"Does any of you know?"
The surviving lackeys widened their eyes and examined it closely, but unfortunately, they did not know either.
No matter. He could ask the gang leader, Shi San, at the docks later.
Chen Yi stomped down hard, ending Shi Lao Si's life.
Then he drew the Flame Iron Heavy Sword and used the Cloud Collapsing Sword Technique, slaughtering every lackey present without sparing a single one.
When Chen Yi walked out of the warehouse courtyard, Black Stone Gang members who had rushed over at the sound came batch after batch.
Like the Calabash Brothers trying to save Grandfather, every last one fell beneath Chen Yi's sword.
These gang members had forced people into hard labor, driven people to feed the Demon Race, and committed every evil imaginable. Chen Yi would not show them the slightest mercy.
Chen Yi killed his way all the way to the docks.
The red blade grew ever redder, dripping blood that still retained its warmth.
Dozens of Black Stone Gang members blocked the road to the docks, yet none dared step forward again.
Chen Yi took one step forward, and they took one step back.
Realm suppression, tag effects, and a Spiritual Artifact in hand.
Those three advantages let Chen Yi move through the Black Stone Gang as if no one were there.
Shi San stood on the docks, watching Chen Yi slaughter his way over, his face as livid as if he had swallowed a fly.
"Chen Yi! So you really only pretended to surrender!"
Chen Yi walked closer step by step. His expression remained sunny, but the killing intent around him soared to the heavens, creating a tremendous contrast.
"Wow, you really are smart. You actually figured that out."
Chen Yi said sarcastically.
Shi San was so furious that his beard bristled and his eyes bulged.
"Get him! Hack him to death!!"
One gang member said tremblingly,
"Boss, all the brothers who went up have been cut down by him..."
Shi San roared angrily.
"You gutless trash! It's because you're all cowering that he can pick you off one by one! If you attack together, no matter how strong he is, can he kill every last one of you at once?!"
The gang members' mouths twitched.
Damn, Boss, that actually made so much sense.
As long as one of us managed to cut him once before we all died, that counted as victory, right?
The laborers at the docks had stopped working by then.
Everyone had seen Chen Yi's heroic display of slaughtering in all directions.
It seemed the Black Stone Gang could not stop him.
If the Black Stone Gang was finished, then they would be free!
Only Dachun was still honestly carrying sacks. He asked curiously,
"Why has everyone stopped working?"
Chen Yi walked straight over to Dachun.
"Dachun, you don't need to work anymore either. We're going home."
"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Yi!"
Chen Yi smiled and nodded.
Meanwhile, Shi San had yet to realize that Chen Yi had already reached the Spirit Gathering Realm. He still hoped to defeat him through superior numbers.
"Second Hall, block the dock exit! Third Hall, get on the boats and block the water route! Everyone else, come at him with me! Can our Black Stone Gang really be wiped out by one man?!"
Shi San took off his shirt, revealing a powerful body of solid muscle.
He also activated some Cultivation Method, causing every muscle on his body to swell another size.
Comparing the two, everyone felt that their gang leader's raw attributes seemed stronger than Chen Yi's.
So they followed Shi San's orders and blocked Chen Yi's path.
Seeing this, Chen Yi tore off a strip of cloth from his clothes and wiped the blood from the Flame Iron Heavy Sword.
"I'm taking him with me, and I'll see who dares stop me!"
