Overwhelming Dominance

Zhang Yu looked at the gold, silver, medicinal herbs, and grain, a satisfied expression on his face.

Robbing really was the fastest way to make money!

He considered pouring even more resources into Niu Mancang, developing his Feral Ox Physique and pushing Iron Shirt to the limit-breaking realm.

Wen Hua walked over.

"Master, we've transported everything from the Iron Fist Gang and Green Snake Gang back, but..." Wen Hua looked as though he wanted to say something but held it back.

"Speak!"

"The shares of medicinal herbs in Boundless City are set by the Ghost Alliance and the Broadsword Gang. We broke the rules this time, so I'm afraid..."

"It's nothing. Go ahead and act boldly. Your master will handle everything." Zhang Yu remained perfectly calm.

He looked toward his system panel.

[Name: Zhang Yu]

[Iron Shirt: Complete (9870/10000), Bronze Skin and Iron Bones]

Over the past two months, Niu Mancang had provided Zhang Yu's Iron Shirt with a massive number of proficiency points. Tomorrow, it would break through its limits once more, and he had also cultivated Bronze Skin and Iron Bones.

With the ultimate offensive power of Stone-Shattering Fist combined with Iron Shirt's formidable defense, Zhang Yu believed that below the True Qi Realm, no one could defeat him.

"Yes, Master." Hearing Zhang Yu's words, Wen Hua's heart settled.

The next day, what was bound to come finally came.

A hall master from the Broadsword Gang led men into the Black Tiger Gang headquarters.

Li Mazi's right hand was wrapped in bandages. He watched the other party warily while immediately sending someone to Zhang Yu's residence to notify Wen Hua.

After Wen Hua finished moving the goods yesterday, he had not returned to the Black Tiger Gang. Instead, he drank with Zhao Dun and the other martial brothers until midnight.

"Hall Master Pu, why have you forcibly barged into our Black Tiger Gang?" Li Mazi stared at Pu Kuang and demanded.

Li Mazi was an especially stubborn man. Though his martial arts were nothing remarkable, he had no shortage of courage. Otherwise, after Li Xiong died and the other captains fled, he would not have dared remain in the Black Tiger Gang to hold it together.

"Li Mazi, what the hell are you? You think you're worthy of speaking to me? The Black Tiger Gang is nothing but shit. I come when I want and leave when I want." As he spoke, he sat heavily on the tiger-skin chair in the hall.

"You..."

"Shut up!"

Bang!

Pu Kuang kicked Li Mazi to the ground, then spat on him.

"Pah! Keep talking nonsense and I'll chop you apart. Tell that Wen bastard to come see me at once."

"You..." Li Mazi tried to get up, only to find that he had no strength left. That kick had been vicious, scattering the force within his body.

Pu Kuang was at the peak of the Dark Force Realm, known as Boundless City's number one expert below the Transformative Force Realm.

The moment Wen Hua received the news, he immediately called for his senior brother Niu Mancang and hurried to the Black Tiger Gang headquarters.

When the two arrived, they found Li Mazi and more than fifty gang members sprawled on the ground.

Wen Hua's fury surged straight to his head.

His fate was one of loyalty that reached the clouds, and he usually treasured the gang members under him. That was also why Li Mazi and the others willingly served him.

"Mazi!" Wen Hua hurriedly helped Li Mazi up and pressed his philtrum.

Li Mazi woke up and, upon seeing Wen Hua, said, "Gang Leader, you're here. He..."

"Don't worry. I'm here." Wen Hua helped Li Mazi to the side, then rose and looked toward Pu Kuang, who was seated on the tiger-skin chair.

Pah!

Pu Kuang spat directly in front of Wen Hua's feet.

"You're Wen Hua? A little bastard from the slums, yet you're trying to play gang leader?" Pu Kuang stared at Wen Hua disdainfully.

Veins bulged across Wen Hua's forehead as he clenched his fists and prepared to strike. Then a broad hand landed on his shoulder. "Junior Brother, let me handle this!"

Niu Mancang stepped in front of Wen Hua protectively.

He could sense the violent blood qi emanating from Pu Kuang. Wen Hua was likely no match for him.

"I didn't come here to fight today. You violated a taboo and broke Boundless City's rules. In three days, at Black Tortoise Platform, there will be three life-and-death arena matches. If you make it through, this matter will be forgotten. If you fail, you'll all die. Those are the rules! Don't even think about having the Sima Family interfere." Pu Kuang spoke arrogantly.

"You lowborn bastards from the slums, and you trash from outside—Boundless City isn't a place for you to run wild. You belong in the sewers, wallowing in rotten mud and eating shit..." Having said his business, Pu Kuang continued to mock them.

"Are you finished?" Niu Mancang's expression had been calm, but when he heard the words "trash from outside," his eyes suddenly turned blood-red, and the aura around him became violent and unstable.

In Niu Mancang's heart, Zhang Yu had taught him martial arts, dragged him out of the mud, and expended tremendous resources and effort to nurture him.

Without Zhang Yu, he would not be where he was today. Even if he died a hundred times, he could never repay his master's kindness.

Yet someone dared insult his master in front of him. That touched his reverse scale. Either you died, or I did.

"Then you can die."

The enraged Niu Mancang stamped the ground. Bang! The floor shuddered, and a ring of air burst outward.

The next second, his body appeared before Pu Kuang.

Pu Kuang was arrogant and foul-mouthed, but his skills were indeed formidable. The moment Niu Mancang flew into a rage, he had prepared himself.

Peak Dark Force Realm. Great Mastery Blazing Sun Saber Technique.

"You killed a few pieces of trash from the Iron Fist Gang and think you're somebody now? Today, I'll let you know that trash will always be trash." Pu Kuang slashed his saber toward Niu Mancang's neck.

The killing move of the Blazing Sun Saber Technique—Mountain Severing.

His words were casual, but his strike was immediately a killing move. Pu Kuang had not underestimated his opponent.

Clang!

The saber strike he had believed would certainly kill was caught by Niu Mancang's bare hand gripping the blade.

"This..." Pu Kuang's eyes widened in disbelief. It was not as though he had never killed practitioners of hard-body techniques before, but no one had ever dared seize his blade.

"Is that all the strength you have?" Niu Mancang, consumed by fury, stared at Pu Kuang with blood-red eyes.

Crack!

His five fingers tightened, crushing the other man's saber to pieces.

This is bad! Pu Kuang cried inwardly as he tried to retreat. At that instant, he was scared out of his wits.

Bang!

The furious Niu Mancang smashed his forehead straight into Pu Kuang's face. With a wet puff, half of Pu Kuang's head caved in, brain matter spilling out.

Still not satisfied, Niu Mancang grabbed his neck and hurled him violently to the ground. Bang! Every bone and organ in Pu Kuang's body shattered. He was dead beyond death.

Wen Hua rubbed his forehead. He had originally thought that resolving the matter through three life-and-death arena matches would have been acceptable. Now that Niu Mancang had killed Pu Kuang, there was no way this could end peacefully. As for what to do next, he could only seek his master's instructions.

Looking at Pu Kuang's corpse, crumpled like a heap of mud, Wen Hua cursed inwardly, Serves you right for having such a foul mouth. Feeling good now? You dared insult my master before Senior Brother. You fucking deserved to die. Even if Senior Brother hadn't killed you today, I would have found a way to kill you sooner or later.

After killing him, the blood-red color in Niu Mancang's eyes gradually faded, returning to normal. He scratched his head and said to Wen Hua, "Junior Brother, did I cause you trouble? He actually dared call people from outside trash. Master came from outside..."

"Senior Brother, it's fine. He dared insult Master, so his death was no great loss. If you hadn't killed him, I would have found a way to slaughter him myself," Wen Hua said.

Only then did Niu Mancang show an expression of relief.

A quarter of an hour later, Wen Hua returned to the Zhang Residence and appeared before Zhang Yu, recounting everything that had just happened in detail.

"Master, I'm afraid this will not end peacefully. The Broadsword Gang will certainly make a move against us. What should we do? Please instruct us."

"I came to Boundless City because I heard that whoever has the bigger fist makes the rules here. Since the Broadsword Gang dares to make a move, there is no need for that gang to continue existing." Zhang Yu's voice was calm, but to Wen Hua's ears, it overflowed with overwhelming dominance.
