The darkness of [All Ink] does not allow any light to penetrate.

So, following the principle of sensory compensation, Hei Jinbao could hear Lv Bai’s words clearly.

Just as Hei Jinbao was about to reply, Lou Yunyi, standing at Lv Bai’s feet, couldn’t help but speak up: "It’s Lv... Lv Bai, right? Hei Jinbao is just a madman, if you plan to deal with him, Desolate Tiger Hall will fully support you!"

Hearing this, Hei Jinbao was almost furious enough to grind his teeth into powder: "Huang Hulou! Can’t you have some shame?!"

After all, being in the darkness where nothing can be seen, Lou Yunyi randomly chose a direction to look.

"Hei Jinbao, I hope you see reality clearly; right now in Chikan Bay, only Brother Bai is qualified to be the Speaker."

Hei Jinbao very much wanted to ask what this so-called qualification was, but as he opened his mouth, he abandoned his retort and changed his tone.

"Enough, if that’s how you want to think, I can’t do anything..."

Hei Jinbao was mid-sentence when he abruptly lunged forward.

He does have a hot-tempered and irritable nature, but his cooling down speed is equally fast.

The previous bursts of foul language were partly to vent his anger, and partly to judge Lv Bai’s and Lou Yunyi’s positions based on sound.

Unfortunately, it was actually of little use.

"You two couldn’t hit me when teaming up, now in the dark, why do you think a sneak attack would work?"

Lv Bai’s tone sounded particularly gentle, like a mentor pointing out mistakes in a student’s homework.

The sound sank into Hei Jinbao’s ears, causing his heart to drop.

But once the bow is drawn, there’s no turning back; he furiously held his breath, speeding up his attack. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"You’re going through a rebellious phase now, huh."

Lv Bai commented with a cheerful grin, not hesitating in his actions.

[Flash Time] was quietly activated, allowing him to sidestep Hei Jinbao’s assault while fully aiming a straight punch at Hei Jinbao’s temple.

The fist undoubtedly smashed into Hei Jinbao’s temple, the violent force instantly twisting Hei Jinbao’s neck into an exaggerated arc.

With the residual impact, Hei Jinbao rotated horizontally in mid-air and flew several tens of meters, ultimately crashing heavily into a clothing store’s glass showcase.

It must be said, a Grandmaster Martial Artist’s Life Force, tempered by Inner Strength, is indeed formidable.

Even after taking such an unguarded hit, Hei Jinbao was not completely dead, though his face was bloodied, his head splitting with pain—clearly not lightly wounded.

Struggling to rise, he staggered, barely able to stand.

With one hand pressing his afflicted side, feeling dire, he endured the headache and shouted: "Thirteen Orphans! Noah Zorro! Crow Captain! Please hurry over and help, Jin Family Troupe will offer great rewards!"

Though shouting loudly, regrettably, the heads of those three major factions did not take a step.

Not to mention that in such darkness, it’s impossible to see the situation clearly.

Even if they took a million steps back, given Hei Jinbao’s usual conduct, the other Grandmaster Martial Artists were unwilling to lend a hand to him.

Seeing this, Lv Bai promptly walked towards Hei Jinbao.

With a gentle smile, he said: "Everyone’s having a party, guess who wasn’t invited?"

In this ink-black environment, hearing Lv Bai’s unapologetic remarks, Hei Jinbao instantly sobered up.

He quickly exclaimed: "Brother Bai, I also agree, I also agree with you becoming the Speaker of Chikan Bay!"

Lv Bai did not give an immediate response; instead, he activated [Flash Time], instantly closing the distance between them, aiming a punch at Hei Jinbao’s head.

Boom!

Crack~

Within the dull, massive boom, there was faintly the sound of skull cracking.

Hei Jinbao’s body lurched backward, crashing to the ground, forcefully leaving a cobweb-like crack.

The head of a Grandmaster Martial Artist is, literally, an iron head.

Even after Lv Bai’s two full-force attacks, he could not crush the head to explode like smashing a watermelon.

But if it was merely to kill him, it would barely suffice.

Gazing at the lifeless Hei Jinbao before him, Lv Bai quietly completed his response.

"Too late."

Before the word fell off his lips, Lv Bai adjusted his breathing slightly and dispersed the surrounding darkness.

...

Light abruptly flooded into pupils, seeing light again, causing many around to instinctively close their eyes, shouting.

Such chaos did not last long, for more people began to notice the familiar corpse under Lv Bai’s feet.

Hei Jinbao, the leader of one of Chikan Bay’s five major factions, Jin Family Troupe, a formidable Grandmaster Martial Artist.

Usually, not exactly rampant, but not far off in status in the fray, second only to the Daoist Master.

Yet such an existence was beaten to death alive within a short time.

And the one who did it was a young man looking like a high school student.

Always smiling, his handsome face even held a bit of youthfulness, making it hard to associate Lv Bai with the image of a strongman.

The battle drew to a close with the darkness dissipating, those who saw the scene were internally shocked and stirred.

"Hurry, get out, this place is not a place to linger."

"Looks like Chikan Bay is about to change, turns out a newcomer rises to power at the end."

"Shh~ keep your voice down, you won’t fare well if someone hears."

"Brother Bai is mighty! All Evildoers are mighty!!!"

The ragtag members of All Evildoers who hadn’t had the chance to escape rejoiced at the sight, unable to resist cheering aloud.

Aside from members of All Evildoers, many from other factions were fleeing in fright; those still nearby murmured quietly, etching Lv Bai’s image deep in memory, fearing to accidentally offend such a fierce man.

But compared to these grassroots hoodlums, only the big shots like Thirteen Orphans could truly understand what it meant.

"Great Lv Bai, Desolate Tiger Hall is willing to serve you loyally!"

Having already knelt, Lou Yunyi knelt more thoroughly.

He approached Lv Bai, knelt on one knee: "Allow me to deal with these stubborn individuals for you."

At this, Noah Zorro turned pale.

At this point, he didn’t mind acknowledging Lv Bai as the Speaker, just couldn’t find a graceful way to yield.

"Huang Hulou, your joke isn’t funny at all."

Finally, it was Thirteen Orphans, who had known Lv Bai earlier, who stepped in: "Aren’t the stubborn ones only Hei Jinbao? I’ve long been a fan of Brother Lü."

Seeing the tension somewhat ease, Crow Captain cleared his throat.

"Ahem, indeed, mainly it was Hei Jinbao who bewitched us to act; we Crows only came to Bell Tower Dam to deal with Jin Family Troupe..."
