" Brother Yi, West Yuetan is now completely under the control of our Hongxing Gang. We can take Dongyue Bund back from the Axe Gang at any time."
Inside the room, Ren Jia lit Ling Yi's pipe as he spoke.
The Hongxing Gang was a force rebuilt by Ren Jia with the core Battle Power of the original Crocodile Gang.
With a large amount of money and Ren Jia's intelligence, the Hongxing Gang is now far more powerful than the original Crocodile Gang.
"Wait a little longer," Ling Yi said, shaking his head.
" Brother Yi, waiting any longer won't be good for us."
"This world isn't as simple as you think. You'll see in time."
Two years have passed, and the Crocodile Gang has been wiped out by the Axe Gang just like in the original storyline.
The Axe Gang completely eliminated the original Crocodile Gang and became the new dominant force in Dongyue Bund.
"Have you had a tough time these past two years?" Ling Yi asked.
"It must have been tough!" Ren Jia nodded, not hiding his true feelings.
"Remember to prepare several escape routes for yourself; you can't live in this quagmire forever."
Ren Jia shook his head, leaned against Ling Yi, and said wearily, "It's not that easy. Now I truly understand the meaning of 'being unable to control one's own destiny.'"
"Once you step into the world of Jianghu, there's rarely a way back."
Ling Yi didn't say much. This woman had been with him for two years, and before leaving, Ling Yi would naturally make sure she was settled in properly.
The next morning, Ren Jia left Pig Sty Alley. She came in the middle of the night and left in the early morning, seemingly without making a sound, but the landlady and the others already knew of this woman's existence.
In the past two years, I have also learned about Ling Yi and Ren Jia's identities.
But they pretended not to know. On the one hand, they didn't want to cause trouble. Neither the Hongxing Gang in West Yuetan nor the Axe Gang in Dongyue Bund were people they wanted to mess with.
On the other hand, they were no match for Ling Yi any longer.
A single punch shattered the clouds in the sky; such power was absolutely terrifying.
Now, the couple are very respectful when facing Ling Yi.
The power system in the Kung Fu World is exaggerated and has deviated from the traditional scope of martial arts.
Ling Yi himself didn't know what level he would reach if he unleashed his full power.
For the past two years, he has been training non-stop, almost without stopping. This feeling of gradually getting stronger has captivated Ling Yi, to the point of being somewhat obsessed with martial arts.
However, Ling Yi's strength had already reached a bottleneck half a month ago.
It's not that Ling Yi's aura is weak, but rather that the limits of this world are limited, unless Ling Yi is "unsealed".
That day, Ling Yi checked out of the apartment and returned the Key to the landlady and her husband.
He's planning to leave and cause trouble.
Should he wait for Sing to appear? Ling Yi didn't want to wait. Whether the Protagonist Sing appeared or not had no impact on him.
What he wants is points; to get high scores, all he needs to do is change the storyline and grind reputation.
"You're leaving and won't be coming back, right?" The landlord asked Ling Yi cautiously.
"Do you want me to come back or not?" Ling Yi asked with a smile. "You've been mooching steaks from me for two years, and now that I'm gone, is that all you say?"
"Ahem!" The landlord coughed twice to cover his embarrassment, thinking to himself, "Your punch scared me so much I haven't slept well for days. I was afraid that if you sneezed, this Pig Sty Alley would be gone."
Let's go, let's go quickly.
"You two are the ugliest versions of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü I've ever seen, haha!" Ling Yi said, laughing as he left.
Ling Yi was still carrying a handbag, smoking a pipe, and wearing sunglasses; he looked exactly the same when he arrived as when he left.
The landlady and the landlady, in perfect unison, gave him the middle finger from behind.
Ling Yi's first destination was the nearby headquarters of the Axe Gang...
Today, Brother Sum, the leader of the Axe Gang, is enjoying immense power and influence. In the entire Dongyue Bund, almost no one dares to Shrouding the Heavens him; he holds absolute power.
At that moment, he was lounging on the sofa, puffing away on his opium pipe, his gaunt face filled with an expression of pure enjoyment.
The Four Eyes advisor beside him was reporting on the Axe Gang's financial situation.
"Stop, stop, stop! Just tell me how much territory we've taken over this month and how much we've made. All this talk about how many gifts we gave away and how much medical expenses we paid out is driving me crazy."
"Isn't the entire Dongyue Bund under the control of my Axe Gang now? Why do we still need to send gifts to others? Tell them we won't be sending any next month."
Four Eyes gave a helpless smirk, but he knew he couldn't explain this, or he'd likely get a beating—the kind that's completely unreasonable.
Anyway, he'll just do what he always has to do from now on, and Brother Sum won't bother to ask any questions.
Four Eyes exclaimed in an exaggerated tone, " Brother Sum, you're truly brilliant! Under your leadership, our Axe Gang is now the boss of Brother Sum Dongyue Bund. Who dares to disrespect Brother Sum? We'll never give them gifts again!"
"That's more like it. We're the Axe Gang; they should be the ones giving us gifts."
Brother Sum stood up unsteadily, sniffed, and grinned, saying, "If we're going to do something, the Axe Gang will be the biggest and the strongest. I want the Axe Gang to occupy every inch of Dongyue Bund."
"Is there any place that doesn't Axe Gang now?"
" Brother Sum, there's also the East Wharf and Pig Sty Alley in the suburbs. Those laborers at the East Wharf don't give our Axe Gang face at all. Last time I went there to negotiate with their leader, I even got slapped across the face."
"Then find someone to take care of him. Do I need to teach you such a simple thing?"
"No, boss. If they cause trouble, the East Wharf might completely shut down. Many businesses there rely on elderly people. If the workers stop working, it will affect their businesses, and then it will be difficult to explain."
Brother Sum was clearly very unhappy, and he cursed through gritted teeth, "Those damn foreigners, we'll kill them all one by one sooner or later. Then our Axe Gang will sail over in a steamship and turn their country into our Axe Gang's territory."
Four Eyes thought to himself, "This guy's got a screw loose. They have planes and cannons, what do they, the Axe Gang, have? A few thousand guns and axes?"
"Yes, yes, Brother Sum Chen is right. From now on, all the countries in the world will be our Axe Gang's territory."
Just as the two were bragging, a loud buzzing sound came from outside, and the next moment, a terrifying force rushed through the space between Four Eyes and Brother Sum.
The immense force sent the two flying backward, and when they regained their senses, they found that the house had been split in two.
In the middle, a gap half a meter wide was cleared out, through which one could see the opposite street from both sides.
At one end of the gap, a young man carrying a suitcase, wearing sunglasses, and smoking a pipe, had just withdrawn his fist.
"Sorry, I didn't control my power well."
Ling Yi walked over with a smile and sat down on the sofa next to Brother Sum.
" Ling Yi? The leader of the Crocodile Gang? You're not dead, you bastard?" Brother Sum jumped up, dusted himself off, and said.
"Yes, it's me."
"You did this?" Brother Sum pointed to the gaping hole, looking somewhat incredulous. This power was beyond his comprehension.
"It seems you don't quite believe me. Here, let me demonstrate it for you again."
Ling Yi's movements were extremely simple: clench his fist, throw a punch...
Brother Sum and Four Eyes clearly saw that a layer of white light enveloped Ling Yi's fist. As Ling Yi's fist was thrown out, a terrifying white light shot out from Ling Yi's fist, and wherever the white light passed, it turned into a pile of fragments.
A smell similar to burnt hardwood filled the air.
This smell comes from the high temperature caused by a powerful energy surge, which scorched the surrounding wooden structures.
Brother Sum's legs began to tremble, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat. He swallowed hard, then bowed deeply to Ling Yi without hesitation...
" The Axe Gang is now yours."
Faced with such terrifying power, Brother Sum decisively chose to back down.
Even when facing the powerful Fire Cloud Evil God in the movie, Brother Sum was still like that; he wasn't an absolute fool.
"I'll give you a day to find a master. I remember there's a mental hospital where a guy called Fire Cloud Evil God is locked up. He's the infamous King of Assassins in the Jianghu."
"If you can bring him here, he might be able to defeat me. Of course, if you're willing to pay a high price, I'm sure there are plenty of assassins willing to help you."
" Xiao Di n't dare!" Brother Sum naturally didn't dare to agree to Ling Yi's words in person, but he had already remembered them in his heart.
"Get out!" Ling Yi's voice turned cold after he finished explaining.
Brother Sum and Four Eyes didn't dare say anything more Liuliu away.
After leaving the room, Brother Sum said to Four Eyes with a gloomy expression, "You heard everything?"
"Don't worry, boss, I'll arrange it right away."
"Spend a fortune to find me every assassin you can find. Also, tell all the brothers to prepare long guns. I don't believe he's not afraid of bullets."
That evening, Ling Yi didn't receive an attack from the Axe Gang; instead, Ren Jia arrived with the Hongxing Gang.
"So there really are martial arts masters in this world." Ren Jia said with surprise and delight upon seeing Ling Yi.
"Why are you here?" Ling Yi frowned.
"I'm worried about you. The Axe Gang has mobilized nearly two thousand men, and they're all armed with long spears."
"Let all the Hongxing people leave; they're not of much use."
"But..."
"Trust me, it's good that you're here now, it saves me the trouble of coming to find you. This is what I prepared for you."
Ling Yi took out an envelope. The envelope was very thick, and the contents did not look like money. Moreover, neither of them were short of money, and Ling Yi would not give money to Ren Jia.
"Go back to West Yuetan first, and behave yourself."
Ren Jia didn't know what would happen next, but she had a premonition that this parting would be forever.
"I want to follow you!" Ren Jia said, her voice trembling with tears.
"I'm sorry, I'm just a passerby in the end."
Ren Jia left with great reluctance; the thousands of people from Hongxing Haste and went in Haste.
It wasn't until now that Brother Sum realized that the Crocodile Gang he had wiped out was just the visible force. The real power that dominated the entire West Yuetan, even stronger than their Axe Gang, was actually created by Ren Jia and Ling Yi.
This made him quite apprehensive for a while.
The next morning, Brother Sum, along with Fire Cloud Evil God, Heaven and Earth, a dozen assassins who had not appeared in the original storyline, and several thousand Xiao Di, surrounded Ling Yi.
Ling Yi Ling Yi didn't care about anyone else, but he spotted Sing and Bone in the crowd. He hadn't expected them to join the Axe Gang. Moreover, it was very likely that Fire Cloud Evil God was someone he had released from the mental hospital, just like in the original story.
Ling Yi Ling Yi then looked at the Fire Cloud Evil God, and couldn't help but laugh when he saw the old man's classic outfit.
He once played the Fire Cloud Evil God in the Legend of the Condor Heroes World, and now he's finally seeing the real deal.
