Boom!!!

A loud explosion.

The Forest Snake Gang’s heavy iron gate, shattered with a bang!

Fragments of iron rained down like shards of glass, embedding themselves in the soil within the gang.

The enormous rumble immediately caught the attention of everyone in the gang.

The commotion was so intense that even the sleeping Xiong Rudong was startled awake.

What’s going on?!

Skilled and swift, Xiong Rudong grabbed his clothes and rushed out the door.

Jumping onto the rooftop, he looked towards the source of the noise.

With just a glance, Xiong Rudong’s expression changed dramatically.

Because in that glance, he saw more than a hundred gang members rushing towards the gate to confront the intruder, but with a single explosion, everyone was blown apart, limbs and severed body parts collided and flew chaotically, the scene was as tragic as possible.

The blood sprayed outward centered around that old man, almost forming a kind of hellish painting, making one’s heart pound in fear.

And at this moment, even from such a distance, the old man seemed to perceive something, slowly turning his head and looking this way!

Gulp!

Xiong Rudong’s heart shuddered violently.

The next moment.

Smack.

A large hand with five fingers was already covering his face.

"I heard your Forest Snake Gang has a skilled person with the surname Diao... Where is he?"

The withered old hand slowly slid down, pinching Xiong Rudong’s throat.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump thump thump thump!!

His heart pounded fiercely, each beat faster than the last, leaving Xiong Rudong nearly suffocated.

Both because of the terrifying movement technique the old man demonstrated, crossing hundreds of meters in what seemed like instant teleportation, and also...

"Foolish Underworld, Master of Hundred Martial Hall, Zang Sanqian! Lord Zang!"

"Recognize me? Not bad, not bad, but you haven’t answered my question."

Crack! Crack!

The pressure on his neck suddenly increased, the bones in his neck emitted a fragile sound, causing Xiong Rudong to break out in a cold sweat with a face full of terror.

Faced with an absolute power gap, he was unable to muster even the slightest resistance!

"Mr. Diao... Mr. Diao is not here, not in the gang..."

With a reddened face, Xiong Rudong desperately forced himself to speak.

"Not in the gang, so that means he was here before? Speak! Where did he go?"

The pressure intensified again, Xiong Rudong’s eyes nearly rolled back, desperately trying to struggle but unable to break free at all, only feeling his consciousness rapidly slipping away.

"Old man, let him go!!"

Suddenly, a loud shout erupted from above.

No time for Xiong Rudong to react... With a rip!

The newcomer was torn in half in mid-air.

The upper and lower body fell apart around the two, even the intestines were exposed at the severed ends.

Only then did Xiong Rudong recognize the identity of the person from the corpse.

"Tian, Tian Xinghan?!"

Even the Hall Master of the Forest Snake Gang, Tian Xinghan, didn’t last a single move against Zang Sanqian!

Xiong Rudong trembled uncontrollably from fear, and behind him, a bright firelight illuminated.

He heard...

"No!!!"

Hall Master Zhang Xiangzhi, seeing the corpse, let out a mournful scream, instantly losing his sanity, leading the crowd to charge forward.

"Don’t come! Run away! He’s the Master of Foolish Underworld..."

Unable to move, Xiong Rudong couldn’t even turn to face Zhang Xiangzhi to stop him, only hearing the shouting and killing from behind rapidly approaching, and then...

Boom!!!

Another explosion.

All the chaos settled into silence.

Xiong Rudong only felt a series of wet objects splashing onto him like raindrops. Some hard-to-see remnants of flesh in the night hung on his shoulder, and that was it.

He could almost imagine the fierce scene behind him now.

A strong ringing in his ears emerged at some point, making Xiong Rudong feel as if everything now was both real and illusory.

Until Zang Sanqian lifted him into the air with the same hand that was gripping his throat, the ringing quickly subsided.

"I ask again, where is the one with the surname Diao!"

The cold voice, like the indifferent trampling of every passing ant, invoked a deep-rooted fear.

"I don’t..."

Xiong Rudong just opened his mouth when suddenly drowned out by a high-pitched voice.

"Spare him! Please, this Lord, spare my subordinate."

Zang Sanqian turned half his face to glance behind him.

The sight of a well-dressed man squeezed into a rigid smile, looking at him from afar within the throng of people.

"I am the Boss of the Forest Snake Gang, paying respects to Lord Zang, Master of Hundred Martial Hall of the Foolish Underworld!"

"Huh!"

Zang Sanqian coldly laughed, casually tossing Xiong Rudong aside, then leaping down from the rooftop.

Just right, landing in front of Fa Hongwen.

His tall figure and immensely oppressive gaze made Fa Hongwen’s heart pound fiercely.

Yet he knew if he didn’t take control of the situation now, the Forest Snake Gang would be doomed, everything he had worked for, a lifetime’s pursuit, would end in this moment!

Even his life might be sacrificed tonight!

No wonder... No wonder Diao Keqing fled overnight, provoking such a monster!

The nearly thousand gang members within the Forest Snake Gang almost all gathered here, assembled behind Fa Hongwen.

With that seemingly endless river of heads flowing, Zang Sanqian withdrew his gaze, settling it on Fa Hongwen standing at the forefront of the crowd.

"I heard your gang recently welcomed a Guest Elder with the surname Diao?"

"The person you’re speaking of is indeed Diao Deyi, Diao Keqing?"

"It should be him. Where is he?"

"It’s unfortunate, before your arrival, Diao Keqing had already left the Forest Snake Gang overnight."

Zang Sanqian’s smile faded, his expression turning increasingly cold, icy.
