Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures

Du Ge glanced at him and nodded indifferently.

Wang San stepped out from the crowd, holding a Willow Leaf Knife, and walked towards the trembling Liu Hei Gou, saying as he walked, "My dear little black dog, how could you be so wicked when I love you so much? Look, you've angered everyone. Let me send you off myself. You must be happy to die in my arms..."

Fear spread through Liu Hei Gou's heart. He sprang to his feet, wanting to run, but Liu Cheng's earlier fall had already caused him internal injuries.

He stumbled and fell back to the ground as soon as he stood up.

Watching Wang San approach, the terror on his face grew. He struggled, scrambling to crawl away.

But Wang San gave him no chance. He rushed forward a few steps and stepped on him, "Why are you running? Why do you want to leave me so badly? If that's the case, then you don't need your legs anymore. Without legs, you'll never be able to leave me..."

Wang San brought his Willow Leaf Knife down heavily on Liu Hei Gou's calf.

Squelch!

Blood splattered.

Amidst Liu Hei Gou's screams, Wang San's face was filled with ecstasy. "My dear, your screams are so lovely. Unfortunately, I can only hear this sound once. Scream a little longer, and you won't be scared. Bear with it, I'll be very gentle next."

With that, he brought his knife down again. The leg, which had only been cut earlier, snapped off.

Liu Hei Gou let out a hysterical scream, writhing and rolling on the ground. "No, spare me! Hall Master Liu, Section Master, kill me! Don't let this madman torture me!"

No one moved.

Du Ge watched everyone from above with a predatory gaze. Who would dare offend the man above for the sake of a villain? If he really delivered a knife to the gang leader, wouldn't the Qiu family tear them apart?

My stats are increasing quite quickly!

Seeing Wang San cleanly sever Liu Hei Gou's leg with a single strike, Du Ge immediately knew his strength had improved.

However, he didn't pay much attention.

Ever since he started reorganizing the Iron Palm Sect, his stats had been soaring, almost without pause.

Especially after he condemned Liu Hei Gou, upholding justice for the elder whose daughter had died, his stats had shot up significantly.

Moreover, by making the matter of Celestial Demon public, he had essentially betrayed all the contestants present. The wider the Celestial Demon incident spread, the more victims there were, the faster his strength would grow.

With both factors combined, he feared no one.

At this moment.

He felt that even if he let go of Qiu Yuanlang, and someone tried to rescue him, he could return instantly and chop off his fingers.

"...Help you? Hahaha, cute little thing, who else would help you but me? Don't move, let me see your heart, see if you have me in your heart?"

Wang San's voice echoed through the heavens and earth.

The surrounding whispers stopped.

Many of the onlookers were scared by the frenzied Wang San.

The timid ones simply closed their eyes, while others couldn't stand the shock and ran to the side, vomiting profusely...

"Seventh Master, this is too much. Killing him would have been enough, why torture him in front of everyone?" Qiu Yuanlang couldn't help but frown.

"You're feeling soft now? He tortured someone's sixteen-year-old daughter for three days, forced her to jump into a well, and broke her father's leg. Did you not feel soft then?" Du Ge pointed at the limping elder below. "Serious illnesses require drastic measures. I want everyone to see the consequences of evil. I am not the government; I am Celestial Demon, and I maintain justice with my own methods..."

The limping elder, initially stunned into silence by Wang San, couldn't speak. But upon hearing Du Ge's words, he was reminded of his tragically deceased daughter. The pity in his eyes instantly receded.

With tears in his eyes, he glared at the screaming and struggling Liu Hei Gou and said fiercely, "Celestial Demon is right. When dealing with such villains, they must receive the most brutal punishment, so they never dare to harm others again."

After speaking.

He stopped looking at Liu Hei Gou, straightened his tattered clothes, looked at Du Ge, and kowtowed respectfully, a look of relief and liberation on his face. "Thank you, Celestial Demon, for avenging me. My wish is fulfilled. I have no regrets in this life and can face my poor daughter with dignity..."

"Old man, the deceased is gone, but the living must go on. Otherwise, if I avenged you, and you went and killed yourself, what would be the meaning of the justice I upheld?" Du Ge saw through his thoughts and smiled gently. "Live on, live for your daughter. Watch as the wicked are punished one by one by me, and see how the world improves, wouldn't that be good?

Besides, Liu Hei Gou is a member of the Iron Palm Sect. The Iron Palm Sect failed to manage him properly, so compensation is due. If you die, who will I give this compensation to? Liu Cheng, send someone to get a hundred taels of silver and give it to this old man..."

"Celestial Demon, you have avenged me, and I am already immensely grateful. How could I dare to accept your money?" The elder waved his hands repeatedly.

"Are you worried that someone will be jealous and try to rob you of your silver?" Du Ge asked.

"That's not what I meant," the elder said. "I just feel that I have already received your great kindness..."

"Old man, no amount of money can bring back your daughter's life!" Du Ge sighed. "Take this money, find a simple person, and let them care for you in your old age! The Peacekeeping Gang will remain here, and no one will dare to covet your wealth..."

Liu Cheng sent someone to get the money.

Du Ge said, "Get some more. The Iron Palm Sect has committed many sins over the years. Today, they will likely have to pay a lot of silver."

As soon as these words were spoken.

The crowd of onlookers erupted in a clamor.

Since ancient times, wealth has moved people's hearts.

Initially, they were worried that Du Ge would be outnumbered, and if the Iron Palm Sect made a comeback, they would be the ones to suffer. But now, being able to get revenge and receive money was different.

With the money, even if they left Luyang City and lived elsewhere, it would be good!

A hundred taels!

They couldn't earn this much money in a lifetime...

The old man looked at Du Ge, kowtowed a few more times, and choked back tears, "Great Celestial Demon, you are a good person. This humble one will enshrine a longevity tablet for you at home, pray for you daily, and wish you a hundred years of good health..."

"Great Celestial Demon, I also have a grievance! Iron Palm Sect's Niu Chaojie forced my father to death to snatch my family's ancestral jade..."

Among the yamen runners, a incense master's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground...

"Great Celestial Demon, Iron Palm Sect's Yan Shou took away my family's eight mu of fertile land..."

"Great Celestial Demon..."

Whoosh.

Suddenly, over a dozen people rushed out from the crowd, scrambling towards Du Ge. Wang San, who had just stolen Du Ge's spotlight, was once again ignored by everyone.

Du Ge's attributes were soaring.

At the same time.

There was a commotion among the Iron Palm Sect members, and many turned to flee.

Who wasn't afraid!

Wang San was too ruthless. If they ran, there might still be a chance, but if they stayed to be tortured by him, it would be worse than death!

Seeing more and more people fleeing, Du Ge frowned slightly, " Qiu Feilong, arrest them. If even one escapes, I'll chop off one of your father's fingers..."

"..." Qiu Feilong glared at Du Ge angrily and said in exasperation, "Flying Dragon Guard, what are you still standing there for? Arrest them! If even one escapes, I'll chop off your fingers one by one."

Seeing Qiu Feilong, who had lost his composure, Qiu Yuanlang sighed, glanced at Du Ge, and said, "Feng Qi, what you're doing will cause great trouble."

"I know. When I decided to uphold justice, I knew it would be the hardest path, but someone has to do it, don't they?" Du Ge looked at the chaotic crowd and smiled faintly, "I don't believe there are no good people in this world."

Qiu Yuanlang gave Du Ge a meaningful look, sighed softly, and said no more.

In the crowd.

Members of various sects watched the frenzied Du Ge and Wang San, their brows furrowed.

A seven-bag elder from the Beggar's Sect turned and instructed a beggar beside him, "Hu Zi, send someone to investigate if anyone in our sect has been possessed by Celestial Demon. This guy is too strange. Once found, control them first."

"Yes, Elder." The beggar took the order and left.

" Lao Tang, rush back to the main altar immediately and report what happened here to the Sect Leader." Then, he turned to another slightly older beggar and frowned, "I feel like the sky is about to change."

The same scene unfolded among the people sent by the three sects and five factions to investigate the situation.

Du Ge kept talking about upholding justice, but they only saw madness from him, and the uncontrollable nature of Celestial Demon...

That day.

Many people rode fast horses from Luyang City to all corners of the world, spreading the news.

Feng Zhong, wearing a bamboo hat to hide his face, squeezed into the crowd and watched the two, Du Ge and Wang San, who were stealing the show, with a mocking smile on his face. "Two fools, not knowing they are on the verge of death. Do you really think you can eliminate others with just a few natives? But, that's good too. With you two bright bulbs attracting attention, it saves me the trouble of running around. Staying in Luyang City is perfect for reaping the benefits. I can even add more fuel to the fire, hehe! The one who laughs last is the true winner!"
