Intimidating the Canoe Gang, Withdrawing Calmly! (Seeking Reads)

As time passed.

The members of the Canoe Gang inside the warship quickly gathered, surrounding the main entrance, as well as the hole that had appeared on the roof earlier.

In an instant, Qin Zheng, holding a Ghost-Head Saber, was surrounded by the entire Canoe Gang.

A heavy atmosphere spread through the air.

Seeing this, Qin Zheng thought to himself that tonight would be a tough fight. His eyes hardened, and he prepared to forcibly summon his strength of three thousand jin to quickly end the battle.

Swish!

Suddenly!

The glint of the saber flashed brightly!

A skull with a venomous expression rolled onto the ground.

The Second Boss didn't even have time to show a panicked reaction.

Perhaps he never imagined that the one who would decapitate him wouldn't be Qin Zheng, but his own elder brother!

Even Qin Zheng, at this moment, slightly turned his head, a little surprised.

"I am Zhang Wei, may I know how you are addressed?"

After beheading the Second Boss with a single strike, the First Boss's expression remained unchanged as he spoke calmly.

This is a true ruthless individual!

Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he replied, "Qin Zheng!"

The First Boss nodded, then bent down to pick up the Second Boss's head. He then tossed it, letting it roll to Qin Zheng's feet.

"Based on my conjecture, this dog must have made the first move. I killed him for Brother Qin, thus settling our grievances."

"Brother Qin, could you do me a favor and let this matter rest here?"

These words not only surprised Qin Zheng but also caused the surrounding Canoe Gang members to look at their First Boss with disbelief.

To reach the position of Second Boss, one must have been utterly devoted and given their all to the Canoe Gang. Yet, now, the First Boss had turned his saber and directly decapitated the Second Boss for an outsider!

This caused a flicker of terror in the eyes of the Canoe Gang disciples.

Meanwhile, some of the gang's higher-ranking members present lowered their expressions, their gazes meeting with a hint of a different meaning.

In that instant, everyone present had their own thoughts and a flood of ideas.

But outwardly, the Canoe Gang members' gazes remained fixed on Qin Zheng, exuding pressure.

"If I am disturbed by your Canoe Gang again in the future, what then?"

After a few moments of silence, Qin Zheng asked.

The First Boss of the Canoe Gang had gone this far. If he were to remain aggressive, it would put him at a disadvantage.

Moreover, if the other party had beheaded the Second Boss with a single strike, it was clear they truly wanted to resolve the conflict.

Otherwise, if they merely wanted him to stop temporarily, the price would be far too great.

After Qin Zheng spoke, the First Boss on the opposite side replied, "If you are disturbed by our Canoe Gang again in the future, I, Zhang, will personally present my head!"

Hearing this, Qin Zheng let out a light laugh, then sheathed the Ghost-Head Saber. He directly ignored the Second Boss's head at his feet and walked towards the main entrance.

As he got closer, the Canoe Gang disciples became increasingly nervous.

The scene inside the room was truly terrifying, with blood splattered everywhere and nearly ten headless corpses lying on the ground, resembling a purgatory.

Moreover, the corpses on the ground were mostly the experts under the Second Boss's command, all of whom were at the Flesh-Refining Realm.

To them, Qin Zheng, clad in coarse linen and carrying the Ghost-Head Saber, was like a god of slaughter!

By the time he reached the main entrance, except for the First Boss Zhang Wei and a few high-ranking members, the rest of the gang members had involuntarily retreated a few steps.

Qin Zheng's gaze met the First Boss's for a few seconds.

Then, Qin Zheng moved his hand, reaching out and drawing a long saber from the waist of a high-ranking member.

This action immediately made the Canoe Gang members' hearts skip a beat.

The face of the high-ranking member whose saber was drawn instantly turned extremely unsightly.

Zhang Wei's eyes also narrowed slightly.

Then, under everyone's gaze, Qin Zheng twirled the saber in his hand.

Afterward, he brought the saber down and hurled it fiercely.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The saber pierced the floor, making six consecutive sounds.

Then, terrified shouts erupted from downstairs.

"I hope you'll keep your word."

Qin Zheng's expression remained calm. He then sidestepped the First Boss and walked out of the room, heading downstairs.

Outside the door, the hallway was already blocked by Canoe Gang members armed with weapons. However, they quickly parted, creating a path for Qin Zheng.

Each of them moved with swiftness, as if afraid that a moment's carelessness or contact with Qin Zheng would result in their heads being severed.

Only after Qin Zheng had completely left, even exiting the 'Gathering Heroes Pavilion' entirely, did the atmosphere here finally ease.

The First Boss then turned to the gang members behind him and said, "Disperse. Check each floor for casualties, appease the guests, and also..."

"Bring me that saber from just now."

"Yes!"

The gang members responded and then retreated like a tide.

A moment later, only the First Boss and a few high-ranking members remained.

"Do you all feel resentful or disheartened because I beheaded the Second Boss?" the First Boss asked, looking at the few individuals with a calm expression.

"We don't."

"What are you saying, First Boss."

"Without the First Boss, the Canoe Gang wouldn't be where it is today."

"..."

They all immediately declared their loyalty, denying the thoughts the First Boss had attributed to them.

"Hmph!"

The First Boss snorted coldly and continued, "You're all used to being overbearing. Open your eyes and look, use your brains and think carefully!"

"These people dead in this room are all experts in the Flesh-Refining Realm!"

"And not a single one has a head left, clearly having their skulls exploded by a single palm strike!"

"To be able to so cleanly obliterate their heads, do you think such a person would still be an ordinary Flesh-Refining Realm martial artist?!"

As he spoke, the eyes of the several high-ranking members flickered, and they spoke with grave expressions, "First Boss, are you saying that person just now was a Muscle-Refining Realm martial artist who broke through the three major thresholds?!"

At these words, everyone seemed to snap awake at once.

What followed was a cold sweat breaking out.

"I sensed from that person's eyes that he didn't fear the Canoe Gang at all, and had even prepared himself to fight!"

"Hmph! If I hadn't acted like that, your heads would likely be rolling on the ground by now!"

The First Boss snorted coldly, looking at them with displeasure.

The few individuals immediately came to their senses and repeatedly thanked the First Boss.

However, the First Boss's face remained filled with solemnity.

It couldn't be entirely blamed on these people.

In the entirety of Black Goose City, there were very few martial artists who could break through the three major thresholds and reach the Muscle-Refining Realm.

Including himself, every one of them was a well-known figure in Black Goose City.

Who would have thought that such an unremarkable, unknown person would also be a Muscle-Refining Realm martial artist!

"First Boss, the saber is here!"

At this moment, a gang member carrying a saber approached them.

"There were no casualties,"

he added.

The First Boss took the saber and examined it carefully, then asked, "Where did you find it?"

The gang member's face showed a hint of fear as he replied, "It was on the first floor, the blade was almost entirely embedded in the floor!"

The person from the sixth floor had, with a casual throw, caused the saber to pierce through six floors and embed itself into the ground on the first floor.

This was practically a saber strike that could go through the entire Gathering Heroes Pavilion!

Such terrifying power was simply inhuman!

Upon hearing this, the faces of the few high-ranking members present showed horror.

The First Boss's expression became even more somber.

He walked to the Second Boss's head and then stomped down.

Bang!

Red and white splattered!
