The main hall of Cao Gang is located on the north bank of Caoshui Ferry, covering an area of more than thirty acres. It has high walls of blue bricks and watchtowers at the four corners, making it look like a small fortress.
At this moment, the sun was setting in the west, the village door was open, and more than a dozen Caoshui Gang people were gathering in the open space outside the door, sitting or standing, drinking, gambling, and shouting.
"Have you heard? The boss is very happy today. That batch of goods is worth at least 200,000 taels!"
"Hey, those three local bumpkins from Yilin dare to walk through the Cao River waterway? Do you really think that we Caoshui Gang are vegetarians?"
"I heard that they have a worshiper who is a disciple of the Xingyi Sect? What is his name Chen Jianghe?"
"Bah! So what about the Xingyi Sect? How dare he break into our main hall if he only tries so hard? Lend him three courages."
The words have not yet fallen.
"Whoops!"
A very light and thin sound broke through the air, resounding from the sparse poplar forest outside the manor.
The gang member at the outermost circle who was talking nonsense suddenly stopped talking.
He lowered his head and looked at his throat in disbelief.
There, a Willow Leaf Dart as thin as a cicada's wing had penetrated completely.
"Gu----"
He opened his mouth to shout something, but only large mouthfuls of blood foam came out.
The body fell on its back.
"Enemy-
As soon as the second person shouted a word, another green light penetrated his eyebrows.
The third person turned around to run, but the third Willow Leaf Dart penetrated the back of his neck and came out from his throat.
Three breaths.
Three people were killed.
Only then did the rest of the gang react, exclaimed in horror, picked up their weapons and ran away!
"Someone breaks into the village!"
"Knock the gong! Hit the gong quickly!"
"Dang-dang-"
The piercing sound of gongs exploded over the manor!
At the edge of the poplar forest, a figure in green stepped out slowly.
Chen Jianghe.
He held the pewter-stemmed spear upside down in his hand, and the tip of the spear dragged the ground, drawing a shallow mark on the sand.
His face was calm, and his eyes swept over the dozens of panicked figures at the entrance of the village. His steps were neither fast nor slow, but there was a certain oppressive rhythm with each step he took.
"It's him! He's the only one!"
"Who dares to break into our Caoshui Gang? I'm tired of living!"
"Surround him! Hack him to death!"
When more than a dozen gang members saw him alone, they became more courageous, picked up swords, guns and clubs, and swarmed towards him!
Chen Jianghe keeps walking.
He raised his right hand, and the pewter spear lifted off the ground, the tip of the spear pointing diagonally forward.
Phantom Shadow Steps.
His figure suddenly pulled out several afterimages in the sun, and his true body had already swept into the crowd!
The gun comes out like a dragon!
The tip of the spear does not stab someone, but sweeps across!
"Bang--!!!"
The four gangsters who rushed forward were shot in the chest, and the crisp sound of broken ribs could be heard clearly!
The four of them felt like they were hit by a giant hammer weighing 10,000 kilograms. They spurted blood from their mouths and flew backwards, knocking down six or seven people behind them!
Chen Jianghe The gun will not stop, put the gun back and stab again!
The tip of the gun was like a meteor, and the gun penetrated the throat of a gang member, and when the gun was drawn out, a cloud of blood mist came out!
The gun body swept across, smashing a single sword coming from the left, and with its remaining power, it smashed the head of the man holding the sword into collapse!
The rest of the gang stopped in shock, and no one dared to take another half step forward.
Chen Jianghe finally stopped.
He glanced at the group of earth-colored gang members and said in a calm voice, "Where is the master of Cao Gang?"
No one answered.
Chen Jianghe No more words and move on.
After passing through the front yard and bypassing the screen wall, the main courtyard of the Cao Gang main hall suddenly opened up in front of us. At this moment, more than fifty people had gathered.
The first three people stood side by side.
The person in the middle is a bald man in his fifties, his arms are covered with fine iron wrist guards, and in his palm is a Mountain Opening Axe weighing more than a hundred kilograms. He is the master of Cao Gang River-Turning Dragon Xiong Lie".
The man on the left is tall and thin, holding a pair of water-dividing Emei thorns. He is the second master White Streak in the Waves Chu Qing".
The man on the right is short and stocky, holding a pair of short iron halberds in his hands. He is the third master River-Suppressing Flood Dragon Tong Tie".
Behind the three people, more than fifty gangsters stood in darkness, with swords and guns like a forest, full of murderous intent.
Xiong Lie stared at the black figure stepping across the screen wall, a strange color flashing in his eyes.
"Chen Jianghe."
He spoke, his voice as deep as thunder, "I set up a trap to lure you into negotiations. It would be better for you to kill seventeen of my brothers and break into my main hall."
"Negotiation?"
Chen Jianghe interrupted him.
He raised his hand and pointed at the blood stains on the bluestone beneath his feet that had not yet dried up. "When you ambush Qian Shouyi, did you ever think about negotiating?"
Xiong Lie's face darkened.
"Boy, you Xingyi Sect disciple, I will give you three points of thin noodles. Don't give me any face."
Chen Jianghe said no more.
Phantom Shadow Steps unfolded with all its strength, and the dark figure dragged out several afterimages in the dusk, heading straight towards Xiong Lie!
"Presumptuous!"
Chu Qing shouted angrily, the Fenshui Emei thorns stabbed out alternately, and the strong wind roared!
He is at the pinnacle of energy.
This thorn is enough to penetrate a foot thick bluestone.
However, Chen Jianghe's figure suddenly turned around the moment he thrust out, passing by his left side like a ghost.
"Too slow."
As the voice fell, Chen Jianghe's right arm suddenly flung out!
The pewter spear in his hand was like an angry dragon emerging from the water, and the gun body rubbed against the air and made a shrill scream!
Heaven Pivot Breaking Formation Spear-Formation Breaking!
The tip of the gun goes straight to the back of Chu Qing!
Chu Qing's pupils shrank suddenly, he twisted his body in a hurry, divided water and Emei thorns crossed to block.
"Dang-!!!"
The sound of gold and iron is deafening!
Chu Qing's arms trembled violently, his mouth cracked, and his whole body was staggered back by the shot!
Chen Jianghe The gun keeps moving, twisting the waist and hips, and sweeping the gun body!
"Bang!!!"
Chu Qing was hit in the left rib, and the ribs exploded with a clear sound of breaking!
He spurted blood from his mouth, flew out, knocked over the three gang members behind him, and fell to the ground.
One shot.
Just one shot.
The second master, who was at the peak of his energy, was seriously injured and on the verge of death.
The whole courtyard was dead silent.
Xiong Lie's face changed suddenly.
Tong Tie roared angrily and pounced on it with two halberds, "You little beast! You are here to die!"
He is at the pinnacle of Huajin, his two halberds are powerful and heavy, and every blow has a force of thousands of pounds!
Chen Jianghe will not retreat but advance!
Phantom Shadow Steps pushed to the extreme, and his figure swayed left and right in the violent offensive of Tong Tie, so fast that even the afterimages overlapped and intertwined!
Trident.
Tong Tie attacked the trident, but the move failed.
The moment the fourth halberd was thrust out, Chen Jianghe's figure suddenly approached!
The tip of the spear was like a poisonous snake spitting out a message, rising from bottom to top and hitting Tong Tie in the throat!
"Pfft--!"
The tip of the spear penetrated and came out from the back of the neck!
Tong Tie's eyes bulged, his two halberds fell from his hands, his huge body shook, and he fell to the ground.
Two shots.
Two of them were at the peak of their strength, one was seriously injured and the other was killed.
Chen Jianghe drew out his spear, and a cloud of blood mist came out of the spear tip.
He stood next to the corpse of Tong Tie, his whole body black and white, already splattered with blood, all from those masters who had killed him with one shot.
Under dusk, he stood with a gun, his body covered in blood, like a murderer.
The rest of the gang members in the hospital were heartbroken. I don't know who dropped their weapons first, turned around and ran away.
This escape is like a landslide.
"Run, run-!"
"Monster! He's a monster!"
More than fifty people dispersed like a tide and fled completely in a matter of seconds.
Only Xiong Lie is left.
He stared at Chen Jianghe, holding Mountain Opening Axe's hand, with blue veins popping out.
"Okay, very good." He gritted his teeth and squeezed his voice out from between his teeth, "I have been working in the Cao River for thirty years, and this is the first time I have seen you so ruthless."
Chen Jianghe did not answer.
He thrust the gun straight!
The gun comes out like a dragon!
Xiong Lie roared, Mountain Opening Axe grabbed the circle and struck head-on!
This ax was the result of his lifelong skill. The roaring wind was enough to crack open monuments and crack rocks!
"Dang-!!!"
Guns and axes intersect!
Sparks flying!
Chen Jianghe The ordinary long gun he bought for eighty taels of silver in his hand suddenly bent under this hard blow, and then broke into two pieces with a "click"!
Xiong Lie is overjoyed, Mountain Opening Axe takes advantage of the trend and presses down!
"Boy! Without a gun, what are you going to do with me-"
The words have not yet fallen.
Chen Jianghe instantly breaks away from the gun and turns into a fist when the gun body is disconnected.
The waist and hips sink, the back is like a bow, and the right fist is drawn to the side of the waist.
At that moment, the energy and blood in his body rushed violently, and Five Elements Fist's five powers of splitting, collapsing, drilling, cannon, and horizontal were merged into one circle at this moment, and there was no longer any order!
Five Elements Primordial Fist!
Punch out!
This punch seems to be just an ordinary straight punch, but in the middle of the punch, the five powers burst out at the same time, superimposing into a devastating force of destruction!
Xiong Lie's pupils suddenly shrank!
He wants to block, wants to retreat, wants...
It's too late.
"Bang-!!!"
This punch hit Xiong Lie firmly in the face!
His huge head collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The bridge of the nose was shattered, the cheekbones were shattered, the eyeballs popped out, the entire face was sunken by the punch, and blood and brain matter spurted out from the seven orifices at the same time!
Mountain Opening Axe "Dangrang" landed.
Xiong Lie's burly body shook and fell suddenly.
He cannot die any more.
There was complete silence in the hospital.
Only the night wind blew through, bringing a strong and pungent smell of blood.
Chen Jianghe slowly closed his fist.
He lowered his head, looked at his right fist covered in blood and broken bones, and shook it slightly.
Then, he raised his eyes and scanned the corpses all over the courtyard.
Eighteen members of the gang, three of whom were at the peak of their strength, and three who were at the peak of their strength - all died here.
He searched all the money on several people, then walked through the mess on the ground towards the backyard.
The backyard of Cao Gang's main hall is Xiong Lie's private treasury.
Pushing open the warehouse door, it was filled with property plundered over the years: boxes of silver, bundles of cloth, bags of medicinal materials, racks of weapons, medicinal materials from three families and Exotic Beast Meat.
Chen Jianghe glanced over and stopped at a corner.
There, stood a long spear.
The gun body is about eight feet long and is dark blue in color, with faint water ripples flowing on the surface. The material is neither gold nor iron, but rather seems to be made from the polished bones of some exotic beast. The tip of the gun is bright and glowing with a faint cold light.
Chen Jianghe stepped forward and held the gun body.
Start with Shen Ning.
It weighs less than a thousand kilograms. But the strange thing is that holding such a weight in your hand does not feel clumsy, but feels strangely "smooth".
It was as if this gun was meant to be held by him.
He picked up the gun, walked out of the warehouse, and shook it casually in the courtyard.
"Buzz"
The gun body trembled and let out a low dragon roar.
He raised the gun and stabbed it, and the force penetrated the gun body. On the dark blue gun barrel, the water ripples flowed faintly, like a living thing.
Chen Jianghe put away the gun, looked down at the gun, and whispered to himself, "Abyss Settler."
From then on, it was called Abyss Settler Spear.
He broke off the pewter rod and discarded the gun, carried Abyss Settler Spear, and stepped out of the main hall of Cao Gang.
The night is already dark.
The ferry was deserted.
Only a few fishing fires were extinguished on the river in the distance.
Chen Jianghe Go back the way you came.
After walking three miles, his steps suddenly stopped.
There is no looking back.
But he could clearly sense that there were three auras quietly approaching in the night thirty feet away behind him.
Three people.
They are all at the peak of their energy.
The aura is so well concealed that if his perception hadn't greatly increased after "Mysterious Insight", he wouldn't have been able to detect it at all.
Chen Jianghe did not speed up or look back.
He just kept walking, at the same pace as before.
The right thumb has quietly held the tail of a Willow Leaf Dart.
When he reached the edge of a dense forest, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and raised his right hand!
Three Willow Leaf Dart shot out towards the darkness thirty feet away!
"Boohoo!"
There were three muffled sounds in the night.
Three black figures were forced to appear, and they blocked hastily. Although the escort's tip was knocked away, his figure was completely exposed.
Chen Jianghe didn't give them a chance to breathe.
Phantom Shadow Steps unfolded with all its strength, and the black figure threw itself into the forest like a ghost!
The distance of ten feet is reached in an instant!
The man in black at the front was horrified and slashed out with his swords crossed!
Chen Jianghe doesn't dodge or dodge, Abyss Settler Spear sweeps across!
"Dang-!!!"
The two swords were released, the man in black's arms trembled violently, and the tiger's mouth collapsed!
The second shot has arrived!
The tip of the spear penetrates the throat!
Kill with one shot!
The man in black on the left roared and stabbed with a long sword!
Chen Jianghe twists his waist and hips, looks back like a dragon with the gun body, and at the same time as he parries the long sword, his right fist has been blasted out!
Five Elements Primordial Fist!
"Bang!"
The man in black was punched in the chest, his ribs were shattered, and his chest collapsed. He flew backwards and hit the tree trunk behind him. He was breathless when he slid down.
The man in black on the right turned around and ran away with his liver and gallbladder broken!
Chen Jianghe touches his right hand on his waist and gets three Willow Leaf Dart!
The wrist trembles slightly!
"Boohoo!"
Three green lights chased into the night.
Thirty feet away, there was a scream, and then the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground was heard.
Chen Jianghe put the gun away.
He walked to the first corpse, squatted down, and pulled off the man's mask.
An unfamiliar face.
But when his eyes fell on the man's waist, his pupils shrank slightly.
He turned over the body's clothes and took out a few banknotes, about five hundred taels, from the inner lining, and put them in his arms.
On the other two corpses, banknotes totaling more than 700 taels were also found, as well as several bottles of healing elixirs.
Chen Jianghe put away the banknotes and elixirs, stood up, and continued moving forward.
The next morning.
Within Changxi Prefecture City, the news spread like wildfire.
"Have you heard? Cao Gang is finished!"
"What's over?"
"Cao Gang, the main hall, was picked last night! The first master, Xiong Lie, the second master, Chu Qing, the third master, Tong Tie, and three other masters, and more than a dozen elite gang members, are all dead!"
"Who, who did this?!"
"Xingyi Sect Soaring Wood Court That Chen Jianghe! Just one person! Go in single-handedly and kill everyone!"
"A single person?! Impossible! Cao Gang Three Huajin peaks, three Huajin masters, a perfect battle formation, even the elementary Gangjin can deal with one or two! He has one Huajin master"
"What a great achievement of transforming energy! It must be the peak of transforming energy, maybe even half a step of gang strength. My cousin's cousin is doing business in Caoshui Ferry, I saw it with my own eyes! When Chen Jianghe came out after killing people, he was covered in blood, like a killing god! That shooting technique, that footwork, killing the peak of transforming energy is like killing a chicken!"
"Oh my god----this, this is still Soaring Wood Court's person? Isn't Soaring Wood Court majoring in medical hidden weapons?"
"Hidden weapon of the medical profession? One shot at a time, the kill is worse than Golden Pivot Court!"
"Did you hear the voice Xiong Lie shouted before he died? Without a gun, how can you fight with me?" But they abandoned the gun and smashed his head with one punch! One punch! His head at the peak of his strength was shattered with one punch!"
Changxi Prefecture West Street, Qian Family Chamber of Commerce branch backyard.
Qian Shouyi was lying on the bed, his face as pale as paper, and his chest was covered with bandages soaked in medicinal juice.
When he opened his eyes, the candlelight in the room was flickering, and Qian Deren and Qian Qingyu were standing guard in front of the couch.
"Father!"
Qian Deren was overjoyed and quickly held his arm, "You're awake! Great! I, I'll go call the doctor right now-"
"Wait a minute."
Qian Shouyi's voice is hoarse, but it carries an unquestionable majesty.
He glanced at his children and suddenly frowned. "You didn't invite Jianghe, did you?!"
Qian Deren's movements froze.
Qian Qingyu bit his lip and lowered his head.
Qian Shouyi stared at them with a flash of light in his eyes. "What happened? Tell me!"
Qian Qingyu took a deep breath and told Qian Shouyi exactly what happened when he was unconscious.
Finally, her voice became lower and lower. "Chen Jianghe----He went to the Caoshui Gang main hall alone."
Qian Shouyi After listening, he was silent for three breaths.
Immediately, he propped up the bed and tried to sit up!
"Father!" Qian Deren was shocked and hurriedly held him down, "You haven't healed yet, so you can't move."
"You two bastards!"
Qian Shouyi shouted sternly, coughing twice because of the impact on the wound, but his eyes were still wide with anger. "Jianghe is kind to our three families! His master Li Chengyue is still unconscious, and he asked us to take care of his mother. How much trust is that! It's good for you, if something goes wrong, you don't think of a solution, but let him go to the dragon's den alone?!"
"Father!" Qian Qingyu said anxiously, "I went to stop him, but he couldn't be stopped!"
"Can't stop it? That's because you didn't risk your life to stop it!"
Qian Shouyi gasped, his eyes full of pain. "Do you know where the main hall of Caoshui Gang is? There are three people at the peak of their transformation energy, three people who are at the peak of their transformation energy, and dozens of helpers! Once he reaches the peak of his transformation energy, he will have a narrow escape from death!"
"If he has three strengths and two weaknesses, how can our three families stand in the world? How can we face Master Li?!"
Qian Qingyu lowered his head, his eyes red.
Qian Deren opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but no word came out.
The room fell into dead silence for a moment.
At this moment, rapid footsteps came from outside the courtyard gate.
A servant stumbled into the backyard and threw himself in front of the door, his voice trembling with excitement. "Master!
Young Master! Miss! Chen, Mr. Chen, he-
→
Qian Shouyi suddenly raised his head. "What's wrong with him?! Tell me quickly!"
The servant took a deep breath and tried to steady his voice, but he was still trembling violently. "Mr. Chen, he single-handedly picked the Caoshui Gang main hall!"
"After killing more than thirty members of the gang, three achieved great strength and three reached the peak of their strength!"
"Caoshui Gang, the boss Xiong Lie, his head was shattered with one punch!"
"That scene----that scene----when I left, there was blood and corpses all over the ground, just like a Shura field!"
"Mr. Chen was covered in blood, and he was walking out of the hall with a newly acquired gun in his hands - such momentum, such courage - his little legs were so weak that he knelt on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up!"
Qian Shouyi was stunned.
Qian Deren was stunned.
Qian Qingyu was also stunned.
A long time.
Qian Shouyi burst out laughing.
The laughter affected the wound, and he coughed a few times, but he still laughed heartily, "Okay! Okay! Okay!"
"I really saw the right person right!"
"At the age of eighteen, he single-handedly picked up the Caoshui Gang main hall. He killed six people in a row and three of them were still at the peak of his strength!"
He looked at the pair of children, his eyes full of emotion and relief. "Do you know what this means?"
Qian Deren's Adam's apple rolled, and he murmured, "It means——from now on, no one in Changxi Prefecture City dares to look down on our three families."
"It means----the "flag" we all dream of has finally been erected."
Qian Qingyu stood blankly in front of the couch, his mind filled with what the servant had just said and single-handedly picked the Caoshui Gang main hall.
Killed more than thirty gang members.
Three people have achieved great success, and three people have reached the peak of their energy.
Break Xiong Lie's head with one punch.
She remembered Chen Jianghe's calm eyes when he looked at her in that small courtyard that day.
"You two, brother and sister, are just waiting for news at home."
It turned out that he was not trying to show off his strength.
It turns out that he really has this strength.
