"Do you have to be like this? I, Kong Hu, am not easily scared. If we really fight to the death, you might not be my opponent. Why not just call it quits now?"
Kong Hu gritted his teeth.
"Come and fight!" He An's eyes shot out a cold light. The Gale Blade Technique erupted suddenly, its speed reaching the extreme, like a hurricane sweeping through, destroying everything in its path.
"Come!"
Kong Hu's bloodlust surged. As his fists whistled, the small courtyard echoed with the sound of air being torn apart.
Blade and fist collided, sparks flying everywhere.
He Ping stared, dumbfounded. "Xiao An has only been learning martial arts for a few months, yet his strength is already this terrifying. Even Kong Hu, who has been immersed in the Muscle Condensing Realm for years, is no match for him."
"With him around, I, as the elder brother, am almost redundant."
Wang Rou comforted him, "Brother Ping, no matter what, Xiao An is our family. You are his elder brother too. We should be happy that he is so capable."
"He always said he wanted to repay us when he was little. I never expected this day to come so soon."
"Yes, we'll be able to enjoy a good life from now on!" He Ping chuckled lightly, a smile devoid of any worry on his face. After all, from the looks of it, Kong Hu was no match for He An.
He didn't even have the ability to parry.
He looked at He An, his eyes filled with admiration and praise.
"Dad, Mom, you don't have to worry about Xiao An anymore. He can take care of himself now."
A moment later.
Slice.
The blade cut through flesh, a piercing sound echoing loudly.
Kong Hu grunted and looked down at his left shoulder, where a wound deep enough to see bone had appeared. Blood gushed from the injury.
"Kid, stop! I surrender."
"Surrender your sister!"
He An roared, his long saber following like a shadow, pointing directly at Kong Hu's forehead.
Sensing the chilling killing intent, Kong Hu's heart turned cold. The will to survive instantly overwhelmed everything else. Using the recoil force, he rolled like a donkey and scrambled to the side of the courtyard wall.
"He An, I will remember today's humiliation."
He leaped suddenly, as if without any obstruction, easily clearing the two-meter-high courtyard wall. As he left, he didn't forget to threaten He An.
"My Mad Sand Gang and your He family will be mortal enemies for life!!"
"Think you can escape?"
In the twilight, in the middle of the street, a cold light suddenly flashed. A chilling blade energy slashed directly at the back of Kong Hu's head.
"No!"
A roar filled with venomous hatred echoed through the night.
Meanwhile.
After rushing out of He An's house.
The Second Gang Leader didn't dare to delay and rushed back to the gang headquarters in a hurry.
Seeing him covered in blood, the disciples in the gang were all shocked.
"Second Gang Leader, what happened to you?"
"Where's the Gang Leader? Why hasn't the Gang Leader returned?"
"What's going on? Weren't the Gang Leader and the Second Gang Leader going to kill someone? Why did they come back injured?"
"Get lost and tell the other three gang leaders to come over. Our Great Gang Leader is dying." Regardless of anyone's reaction, the Second Gang Leader shouted.
Instantly.
The disciples in the gang panicked.
The Gang Leader was going to die?
This was a monumental event!!
The reason their Mad Sand Gang had developed to its current state was entirely due to Kong Hu alone.
Without Kong Hu, let alone maintaining their current status, it was uncertain whether the Mad Sand Gang would even exist. After all, their Mad Sand Gang had offended many people over the years.
Soon, the news spread rapidly throughout the gang, and the other three gang leaders also arrived one after another.
Seeing the Second Gang Leader, they hurried to ask, "Second Brother, what happened? Weren't you and Big Brother going to kill someone? Why do you look so disheveled?"
"Yeah, what happened? Could this be a tough opponent?"
"Second Brother, what happened to Big Brother?"
The three looked at each other.
"Never mind me, follow me, we're going to save the Gang Leader!"
"No need to save him."
Hearing the familiar voice, the Second Gang Leader trembled, his face filled with horror.
"You... why are you here? Where's our Gang Leader?"
"He's dead."
In an instant.
The gang fell into dead silence.
The several gang leaders, along with over a dozen other disciples still in the gang, were struck as if by lightning, frozen in place, unable to recover for a long time.
"Our Gang Leader... is dead?"
The Second Gang Leader stammered, lost for words.
At this moment, no matter how foolish they were, everyone instantly guessed that He An, standing before them, was the one who killed their Gang Leader.
"Kid, who exactly are you?"
The Fifth Gang Leader roared, "Do you know that killing our Gang Leader comes with a price? That price is the lives of your entire family."
"Kid, who exactly are you?"
For some reason, at this moment, these few people did not know He An's identity.
The Second Gang Leader roared at the top of his lungs, "Kill him! Don't care who he is. He killed our Gang Leader and has now infiltrated our gang. No matter what, we must kill him."
"Avenge him! Avenge our Gang Leader!"
With this shout, over a dozen people were blinded by rage, roaring as they charged towards He An. The momentum and scale of their attack were considerable.
"Seeking death!"
He An's face was like ice.
Amidst flashes of sword light, screams echoed throughout the gang.
In just a few breaths.
Only three of the dozen or so gang disciples remained.
"He's a devil! He's a devil!"
"Run!"
These few were terrified. At this moment, they no longer cared about the Gang Leader, scrambling to escape. But He An cut them down one by one, and they slowly fell into pools of blood.
Under the dim firelight.
Blood flowed along the cracks in the stone slabs, gathering into dark red puddles.
"It's your turn now."
"Kid, you... what do you want to do?" The Third Gang Leader swallowed hard. They had only been a few breaths late, wanting to observe He An's strength.
They hadn't expected that in just those few seconds, all dozen or so people would be dead.
Although most of them were ordinary people, several were genuine Martial Artists. Yet, under He An's blade, they were still slaughtered like chicks.
With the strength He An had currently displayed.
They had no doubt that none of them were a match. After all, although they were gang leaders like the First and Second Gang Leaders, their strength was worlds apart.
The entire Mad Sand Gang had only two Martial Artists in the Muscle Condensing Realm.
The First and Second Gang Leaders.
The First Gang Leader was dead, and the Second Gang Leader was severely injured. The other few Martial Artists in the Bone Forging Realm who had followed them initially were likely dead by now.
How could they, these few, be a match for He An?
The Third Gang Leader dropped his ghost-head saber.
"Little brother, I didn't do anything. You don't need to kill me, right?"
The Second Gang Leader's eyes went dark. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Bastard! How dare you surrender? Do you have any backbone? When we joined the gang, we all swore to share blessings and hardships together."
"Pah!"
The Third Gang Leader sneered, "When there were blessings, when did you ever think of me? You and Big Brother enjoyed them all. I was just a laborer."
Then, he looked at He An, "Little brother, just do what you need to do. As long as you don't hurt me, from now on, I have nothing to do with the Mad Sand Gang!"
Seeing this, the other two quickly stated their positions.
"Me too."
"Me too."
"You... you all!" The Second Gang Leader gasped for air, furious.
"Are you done talking?"
He An interrupted them. "If you're done talking, then all of you can go on your way together!"
Hearing this, the Second Gang Leader laughed loudly, mockingly saying, "If you want to live, you have to see if others are willing. You only have one path now: charge at him with me."
"Otherwise, we will be the ones who die."
The few looked at each other. The Third Gang Leader silently picked up his ghost-head saber.
"Kill!!"
