Act 4: Realize · Understanding

[Part 1 - Kill them first]

"Who is this guy? His voice sounds like a stinky old woman? A woman?"

The older brother, Xuanfeng Hu, became interested, tilted his head, and asked the nervous Dongfang Hao a question.

"Is she also a dancer or geisha you hired? Does the madam of Wulong Fortress Walled Village have someone like her working for her?"

Grandpa Dongfang Hao just shook his head, not daring to speak. He secretly glanced at the girls who were selling their bodies to make a living, hoping only that they could save their lives. He had no other wish.

As long as every tenant can live peacefully and happily, the sun will rise again someday.

--Ming De will never abandon this land, and the nameless man will definitely return.

Grandpa Grandfather was not capable of a physical duel with the White Shark Association, so he could only stall for time.

But who exactly is this woman who suddenly barged into the tea room?

She did indeed save the little pufferfish girl, but judging from this situation, is she going to fight the Xuanfeng Hu brothers to the bitter end?

No, this won't do! It can't go on like this! No matter who wins or loses, many people will die in Wulong Fortress!

"This woman is interesting!"

The younger brother Sangmen Xing, pulled two machetes from the henchmen.

"You caught my throwing knife, not bad! Show me your face, young master?"

9527 remained silent.

She heard the brothers' next words and, in a fit of anger, rushed out to save the person. She never intended to say anything.

The Sangmen Xing hooked the hilt of the knife, letting the two sharp blades dangle in his hand.

"What's wrong? Are you shy?"

He flirted with the frozen stranger in front of him with a lewd grin.

"They say that if you master both literary and martial arts, you can be sold to the emperor's family—you suddenly jumped out of the picture, you must be looking for a good family, right?"

"I'll reluctantly glance at you, you woman? You should know I only like men who can fight!"

"After all, when you're out fighting and brawling, you wouldn't feel at ease if your house caught fire!"

"Having a wife who can fight is something to be happy about!"

"I just think so."

The Sangmen Xing talks a lot of trash, but he's been keeping a close eye on 9527's movements.

He walked halfway around the screen, coming to the left of 9527, trying to avoid the right-handed person, preparing to launch a sneak attack.

"You can't just marry one wife, right? If she gets pregnant, the other wives can help take care of her, help with the kids, and watch over the house. I have three wives, and I'm going to build two more floors in the villa. How about you live on the fourth floor?"

"Until I bring you a younger sister, you'll always be the one living in the highest-ranking house, the one with the highest status."

9527, one move --

--The Sangmen Xing strikes late but arrives first; two throwing knives aimed at the woman's side, back, and thigh.

He didn't intend to kill the woman; he only wanted to tease and humiliate her. Perhaps a beauty was indeed hidden beneath that thick robe?

Just this moment--

--The Sangmen Xing's heart sank.

"Big brother!"

The flying knife spun and struck Xiao Qi's armor, tearing a tiny bit of her raincoat but not even managing to rip her cotton-padded coat before being stopped by the steel wires of the Flash Butterfly Armor.

9527 gripped the tip of the blade and slammed it down hard at the motionless Xuanfeng Hu.

--The sharp blade pierced the air with a crackling sound, the loud noise of the bloodwood handle striking the air against the spring steel.

The powerful blade hurtled straight towards Xuanfeng Hu. When Sangmen Xing reacted, he felt only shame and humiliation. He thought to himself—

"--This woman is completely ignoring me?! Is she going to kill my brother?"

It happened in the blink of an eye!

Xuanfeng Hu sat on Dongfang Hao's hardwood chair, momentarily unable to find any point of leverage. He instinctively wanted to get up and block, but when he raised his cane, he found that the weapon was too long and cumbersome! So he summoned his spirit body to help him. The spirit body in the cocoon stage stretched out of the flesh body, trying to block the cleaver that was cutting through the wind.

But the next second, two clumps of pink silk threads tightly gripped the weapon thrown by the Sangmen Xing.

One time--

--Again!

The extra combined attacks knocked Xuanfeng Hu off balance. This polite, the Beast, who had just been threatening the retired cadre of Guangling Zhixi, suddenly had three knives on his forehead, white and red spraying into the shrine of the God of Guns.

The incense burner was shoved off the shrine by the sudden spray of blood, and the earthenware jar shattered into pieces, but the Master of Ceremonies of gunpowder were not angry at all; judging from their rosy glow, they were quite satisfied.

"Damn it!----"

"Draw your gun! Kill this filthy woman!!!"

Instead of immediately helping his older brother, the Sangmen Xing roared and tried to escape through the side window.

In just one round! In just one round! This strange woman killed my brother! And with my own knife! How am I going to explain this to the White Shark Association leaders?! How am I going to explain this to Manager Todd?!

"You bastard, you killed my dog?!" 9527 was furious, tearing off his headscarf and lashing it at the fleeing Sangmen Xing.

The headscarf, empowered by the spirit, became like a flexible whip; it wrapped around the Sangmen Xing's waist, forcefully pulling him back from the window.

The people downstairs in the walled city were originally just watching the show and eating melons.

Uncle Wang, who was out walking his dog, tilted his head back, the cigarette in his hand almost burned out and was about to burn his hand.

Aunt Li, who sells breakfast, held two red bean buns in her hand, tilting her head to look up at the seventh floor. Even after all the customers had left, she didn't move.

Zhao Youde was working in the cotton shop when he heard the roar of 9527, a sound that threatened to shatter the glass.

The young man looked up abruptly; the distinguished guests in the militia were like plush toys from an arcade claw machine, having just jumped out of the window only to be pulled back in.

What were the underlings doing? They were watching the show, of course! From the moment 9527 removed his turban, Horus's golden eyes appeared along with the mask of the Flash Butterfly Armor—

They were so terrified on the spot that they showed no further intention of resisting.

Who is the hero in the suit? They had never seen this titanium-plated steel stamp before, nor did they have any recollection of it.

In the final battle in Eureka, Xiao Qi's helmet was printed with the image of the sun god Apollo, which was Xue Ming's blessing for his lover, hoping that she would always be healthy, happy and blessed.

Now it has become the all-knowing and all-powerful Eye of Horus, which was also requested by Xiao Qi herself. She wants to remind herself at all times to do her job as a mother and to keep a close eye on each of her children.

Sangmen Xing returned to the room, he was immediately beaten by 9527's iron fist.

The kid had a broken brow bone and a severed nose. He wanted to fight back, so he reached for his gun at his waist, only to see that 9527 was holding a CZ-75, which was his beloved gun.

"A dog? What? What dog? What are you saying? I don't understand at all!"

The Sangmen Xing looked utterly aggrieved.

"--I just wanted to get things done, ahh..."

Xiao Qi was ruthless. She stole the Sangmen Xing's secondary weapon, first firing a burst of flat-nosed bullets at his groin, then exchanging it for explosive rounds from her own backpack.

The sound of the barrel being reloaded sent chills down the spines of the underlings, who trembled and hid near Dongfang Hao.

Just as one of the more astute henchmen picked up his phone, 9527 switched to his left hand, pulled out a P320X5, and fired a shot under his arm. The henchman who was trying to tip him off was caught in the crossfire; his head and phone case flew off together. If your memory is good enough—you should remember Bai Ziqing's specific combat skill level.

"My dog is dead. It was the White Shark Association did it. Do you have any clues?"

She kicked the Sangmen Xing to the ground and stepped on the little beast's head.

"I have no... no clue whatsoever." The Sangmen Xing's head was practically deformed from being trampled; he could see the slightly open soles of his boots, and six dark gun barrels gradually emerging from the Barry—

--This is Black Immaculate!

--This is... this is the Black Immaculate that blew the head off Chief George Joshua!

Is she the Big Sister? No, no, no.

If I were the Big Sister, I'd be dead already!

[Part ② - Kill Them All]

"I'm innocent!!!" the Sangmen Xing wailed at the top of his lungs, "I'm innocent!! Dongfang Hao! Dongfang Hao! Crossing-the-River Dragon! Come out and say a word of justice!"

"Please! Please! Please!"

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor! You should have a good talk with this anonymous person! I have never killed her dog!"

"You say every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor, so who should I ask for this debt? Can you remember?" Xiao Qi leaned on her knees, gradually increasing the pressure on the six-chambered ammunition in the Black Immaculate heel.

Seeing that Dongfang Hao did not answer, the Sangmen Xing continued to complain, as if he had really become the victim.

"It was Manager Todd! And George Joshua! It must have been those two villains! They sent the Immortals to the Nine Realms. I saw the news too, you must be talking about that military dog! Oh dear! Oh dear!"

"Oh dear! Oh dear!"

The Sangmen Xing was almost in tears.

"It died unjustly! Just like my older brother, we came here to discuss business, we didn't do anything!"

"In the blink of an eye, he pulled out the money, and my brother died."

With a click, the 9x39 heavy bullet slid into the chamber, successfully locking under pressure of around 260 pounds. A little more force, Sangmen Xing would be...

"Bang!!!--"

Before I could finish speaking, six bullets fired simultaneously from his heel, shattering his head.

The bullets slammed into the floor, stained with thick, foul-smelling blood, leaving six clearly visible discs on the cobblestone and sandy tiles. The cracks spread outwards, heading towards the feet of the underlings.

The scene fell into a deathly silence. Before Xiao Qi could even speak, one of his underlings immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Please don't kill me! I... I... I surrender! I promise I'll never reveal your whereabouts!"

Almost immediately, without any hesitation, 9527 raised the muzzle of her P320 and began to clear out the remaining targets. She also treated the cult's henchmen with zero tolerance, regardless of their previous lives or hardships. Anyone who dared to work for the cannibals was to be killed without exception.

Scattered gunshots and cries of agony could be heard from the seventh floor.

Bailu peeked half her head out from the doorway.

She only knew that her sister-in-law hadn't been on field missions for a long time, but she never expected it to end like this.

Before the Bailu term began its underground journey, 9527 had already started her maternity leave.

My sister has almost never seen Bai Ziqing active on the front lines. Just as Meteor said, Xue Ming and Xiao Qi are both ruthless killers. There is a reason why they came together. A very important common point is that they have no mercy when dealing with their enemies. If they can leave no survivors, they will try their best to kill them all.

The shrines of the three legendary gun masters were stained crimson with blood.

Dongfang Hao stood to the side, not daring to breathe, watching as the White Shark Association's henchmen fell one by one.

--Watching the bullets blast into 9527's body, he gradually tore off his cotton undershirt, revealing a gold and blue Flash Butterfly Armor.

The titanium-plated steel stamp on Golden Eyes was also soaked in blood. 9527 pulled the slide to eject the jammed ammunition, and pulled the trigger towards the last henchman. Skull fragments were scattered from the teahouse into the garden, turning the old landlord's two pots of orchids bright red.

Xiao Qi found a brief moment of peace. She walked over to Lou Feng's sisters and kicked each of them awake, waking up the feigning dead hybrid beasts.

"Wake up, call someone to clean the floor."

"Ah!~~~~ How terrifying!~~~" The carp spirit was still causing trouble, pretending not to know what was happening and not wanting to get into trouble.

Xiao Qi took off her dirty gloves and grabbed the carp spirit's ear.

"--You're wearing the General of Tears's earrings! What are you running for? To serve the nobles of the Madness Butterfly Sect? Wake up!"

The carp spirit sister dropped the pretense and kept smiling obsequiously, "Oh dear, I knew Brother Mana had sided with the Nameless One, but I never expected he'd bring two heroes back this time."

The Grandfather was counting the bodies, seemingly having done this more than once before. He took off his blood-soaked clothes, first saluted 9527, then ran to the display case and took out a hand-cranked rotary telephone, which was part of the internal wiring of Wulong Fortress.

"Ah Bin, call Youde, Yingcai, Yingjie, and Lao Zhang up here, there are clothes to wash."

"Perhaps."

The landlord quickly took another inventory of the bodies at the scene.

"Eight large items (tall, over 185 cm tall), thirteen medium-sized items (average height, under 185 cm tall), all got wet (massive bleeding, ruptured organs), it's everywhere, they all need strong laundry detergent, definitely chemicals."

"Where to go? (Referring to the transportation method) Can't you figure something out? Please! This order is worth over a million. Even if I don't do it myself, some anonymous person will. Be prepared in advance."

"Give the pufferfish's family an extra 100,000 yuan. It's for medicine and resettlement expenses. He was bruised and almost lost his life. We can't explain it if we don't give him more money."

Bailu looked at the pufferfish girl beside her upon hearing the sound.

"--Baby pufferfish?"

She curiously poked the "younger sister's" armpit.

"Ouch!!" The pufferfish girl instantly transformed into the pufferfish boy, pulling two large white buns out from under her skirt. "Don't mess with me! Big shot! I'm a guy!"

Bailu then came to her senses. It seemed that Dongfang Hao had never intended to cooperate with the White Shark Association in the first place. He wanted to use the power of these hybrid beasts to do his bidding and kill, take the money, and leave the two brothers alive.

"I just never expected these two brothers to be so heartless as to try to kill this pufferfish guy dressed as a woman." Thumb Brother said indignantly, explaining to Bailu, "And your sister-in-law, being a woman herself, couldn't control her anger when she saw these geishas being bullied and treated like playthings that could be killed at any time. She acted out of rage."

Right now, at this very moment.

The plaque that read "[Long Live to a Hundred Years]" suddenly fell down, landed in a pool of blood, floated up, and revealed the words on the back.

"Evil nemesis, that's more like it!"

Xiao Qi removes her helmet--

--Dongfang Hao wants to deliver cigarettes and firecrackers.

"Leader, want one? I don't have any good cigarettes here."

Xiao Qi, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, opened his arms, slowly clenched them into fists, and raised an eyebrow at Grandfather Dongfang Hao with a big laugh.

"My husband was practicing martial arts, and our children were terrified. Our youngest and most adorable guard dog was killed by bad people."

I haven't heard it in a long time, but it's still that same laugh of mutual destruction, a laugh that's hard to believe.

"What do you suggest we do?"
