This turn of events had also caught Yang Chen off guard. He had originally regarded Zhou Qing as his trump card, because Zhou Qing's raw strength truly surpassed Fu Yunhe's by a margin. But man proposed while Heaven disposed—who could have expected that, after suffering losses so many times, Fu Yunhe had learned from past mistakes? To ensure he could kill Yang Chen beyond all doubt, he had actually joined forces with City Lord Qiao!
City Lord Qiao was the number one expert in all of Hurricane City, his strength having reached the half-step Heavenly Martial Realm. If he joined hands with Fu Yunhe, they would be in serious trouble.
After all, if Zhou Qing, their main fighting force, went to contend with City Lord Qiao, then the men under City Lord Qiao and Fu Yunhe would devour their small force like wolves and tigers.
That was why Yang Chen's expression had turned so grim.
City Lord Qiao smiled. "Fu Yunhe, I thought you could handle them. Who would have thought that, in the end, I would still have to take action?"
Fu Yunhe chuckled. "City Lord Qiao, I told you long ago that this brat surnamed Yang is no ordinary person. When dealing with him, we must leave ourselves a backup plan. Only then can we be fully prepared for every contingency!"
"Hmph. I only hope you have not forgotten the share you promised me!" City Lord Qiao said with a sinister expression.
"Rest assured, City Lord Qiao. How would I dare swallow your share? Once these two are dead, won't Luosheng Gate still be my domain? When the time comes, if the two of us join forces, who in all of Hurricane City will not regard you as king?"
Hearing this, City Lord Qiao's bloated face visibly stirred.
