Night.
The water clock had fallen silent, and all was still.
The surrounding blocks had already gone dark.
Only Fish-Dragon Street was still lit.
By the time Wei Sheng arrived, the gang battle had already begun.
Black Tiger led Fire Ox, Violent Bear, and the other Five Tiger Generals, along with over a hundred gang members, in a fierce battle against Azure Dragon Hall's experts.
Leading Azure Dragon Hall was a middle-aged man in blue who bore a thirty-to-forty-percent resemblance to Hong Chengyuan. His face was pale and beardless, and he looked mild-mannered, but his attacks were vicious, every move aimed straight at Black Tiger's vital points.
"Hong Chengchun, with your Tiger Lord here, Fish-Dragon Street is no place for you to run wild!"
Black Tiger drove the pale, beardless man in blue back with a palm strike and snorted coldly.
Hong Chengchun, the younger brother of Hong Family head Hong Chengyuan and current master of Azure Dragon Hall, merely smiled faintly. "Black Tiger, if you were at your peak, I would certainly have to show you some respect-
"Unfortunately, those White Lotus Cult fiends wounded you, and your strength has plummeted. Instead of tending to your injuries, you actually dared take over Fish-Dragon Street. Do you really think I'm some harmless vegetarian?
"Today, I'll snatch Fish-Dragon Street back from your hands and rename it Azure Dragon Street!"
With that, Hong Chengchun shattered the ground beneath his foot and instantly closed in on Black Tiger, concentrating all his peak Ten Refinements strength into one palm.
"Wave-Splitting Palm!"
His palm struck out, trailing layer upon layer of palm shadows. The air was like surging waves split down the middle by that strike. Even the residual force it released cleaved a nearby Fifth Refinement member of Weiyuan Hall in half!
