My phone was still vibrating in my pocket, and it was Han Kun who was persistently calling me.
It took two minutes before the calls stopped coming. Han Kun must have got the message, knowing that I had fallen into Liu Rong’s trap and it was pointless to call again.
It looked like Han Kun’s message would lag by two minutes. This shows that he didn’t just use his high access to the Sky Eye system to check the nearby surveillance to find out my whereabouts like Meng Meng did.
Chief Qi didn’t show up, having lent his entire house to Liu Rong to act as a trap.
No wonder Han Kun is really anxious this time, Qi and Liu Rong have really put their money where their mouth is this time.
A dozen big men stood behind Liu Rong, all as tall as mountains, as strong as oxen, with faces full of flesh, leaning on long knives, and full of murderous aura, looking like they were carefully selected by Liu Rong to deal with me.
There was a thud behind me, and the iron door slammed shut.
A dozen men surrounded me, their eyes blazing, waiting for Liu Rong to give the word and they would all pounce!
“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, and you’ve had your day. Your Snow Leopards have left for Ningcheng, Moon Man Bow has gone to Ha Shan County, and now you are the only one left.
Speaking of his excitement, Liu Rong could not suppress a loud laugh, as if he had already won.
“All of you, go! Kill them all!”
“Wait.” I stood in the middle of the crowd and laughed lightly, “Let me get this straight before I do it. Do you all know that I am a descendant of the Ji family and Ji Yanran is my mother? Even if the Jianghu covenant is not valid for me, the Ji family will not spare those who kill me. Oh, yes, I have Mount Thoughtless in my hands. Liu Rong, I’ve come all this way, why don’t we talk.”
When I mentioned the Ji family, a few people had already changed their expressions, and when I said Wuxia Mountain, everyone stopped in their tracks and stood there, dropping their swords, no longer rushing up, looking left and right at each other.
It looked like so many years of seclusion had reduced the status of the Ji family in the jianghu, but the residual power of Elder Ge’s original jianghu pact had not diminished in the slightest.
I really admire this Ge Lao, after all these years, for still being able to glue the whole divided Jianghu together through a suicide note that is unaccounted for, and of course, my mother is particularly remarkable.
Even though there were so many people surrounding me, none of them dared to touch me because of the Thoughtless Mountain.
“Why all stop, go!” Liu Rong said in a panic, “Don’t listen to Zhang Chao’s nonsense. He is particularly cunning, so if you listen to him, you will be fooled. I don’t believe you’ll deal with me!”
“What if I don’t deal with you? I’ll either deal with Jiang Ming or with you. I have to find a side in the jungle. Jiang Ming got my parents killed, the revenge of killing my father is bigger than the sky, how can I possibly work with him. And you don’t have much choice. There is only one piece of the Thoughtless Mountain in the jianghu, and it is being handed over to me right now. If I give him to you, your Liu family can become the allies of the jianghu and there is no need to depend on the Jiang family. All of you here must be brothers of the Liu family, your family head Liu Ruyi and I call each other brother, but you are pointing your swords at me, this will be laughed at by the whole jianghu if word gets out.”
“Don’t listen to him. This will not get out today! Zhang Chao, you are not fooling anyone. You’re on the verge of fighting with me to avenge Lin Yue’er’s death, and you’ll cooperate with me? You say you have the Mountain of No Thought in your hands, but no one has ever seen you holding it, it’s all your bluff, it’s impossible to say whether the Mountain of No Thought exists or not. Brothers, don’t listen to him!”
Liu Rong was still quite capable, he didn’t listen to my advocacy at all and was determined to get me killed today.
It looked like I had prepared so much to say that I could stop, Liu Rong would not believe me.
Liu Rong said again, “Everyone, let’s go. This guy has no father, no mother and no descendants, and when he dies, there will be no one to inherit his property. Han Kun, who helped him, is also dead, so once he dies, Junran will be ours! Everyone here today will get a share!”
Money was undoubtedly the best cheerleader, more exciting to the gang than illusory jianghu morality, and their dull eyes instantly burst with eager light.
Like a jackal smelling blood, Liu Rong gritted his teeth and grinned, waiting for these men to swarm me and tear me to pieces.
I held my head high and said with a smile, “All you heroes and heroines, at least give me a knife so that if word of this really gets out today, you won’t be too humiliated.”
“No! Kill him!”
The big man in the lead swept a glance at me and frowned.
I laughed, “The Liu family has been running the jianghu for so many years, a dozen of them surrounding one man is already despicable enough, not so much that they wouldn’t even dare to give a knife.”
“Giving you a knife wouldn’t make any difference.”
I said, “Haha that’s not necessarily true, give me a knife and I can make you all piss your pants.”
He grunted and threw me the knife he was holding, “Satisfy you, our Liu family is a big, decent clan that doesn’t kill unarmed people.”
He was about to curse when he saw me looking angrily at him through the crowd, his face turned white and he turned to leave.
I must say, a coward’s instincts are a little more accurate, and he was right.
I weighed that knife and broke into a run in front of a dozen kung-fu masters. Liu Rong turned to run, but it was too late, the knife had already taken only his back.
“Watch out!”
The crowd shouted, but it was already too late.
In the nick of time, the leader of the group was so quick that he flew off and struck Liu Rong’s left leg with a knife.
The knife I threw grazed his neck and sent a line of blood flying out, but it didn’t kill him on the spot.
I spat out my tongue and thought to myself that my grandson was really lucky, and before the Liu family could react, I immediately turned around and rushed in towards Qi’s villa.
“KILL HIM! Kill Zhang Chao!!!”
Along with the screams of misery, Liu Rong’s hissing roar echoed throughout the villa area.
I got into the villa and first found a stick and stabbed the light bulb overhead, the electricity crackled and the whole villa immediately lost power.
“Find him! Don’t let him slip away!”
I drew the spikes in my boots, held my breath and hid sideways behind the wall, waiting for the two men to whiz past me as I lunged out from behind and wrapped my arms around the man’s neck and mouth, pulling him in and then strangling him before stabbing him through the back of the foot in one swift motion.
He was already dazed, but when I did this, he immediately came to his senses again with a scream.
His screams alerted the others and I quickly turned and slipped away.
The men who had arrived at the news carried him out, and I lurked in the darkness and quickly took care of the second man as I had done.
“No, he’s too bad, he doesn’t kill our men, he wounds them ……”
“What?”
“Wounded us so we have to have someone out to take care of them, it looks like he wounded one, but actually nullified two. sh*t!”
I snickered inwardly, where would these people have thought that this was how we treated our enemies on the battlefield.
“sh*t, we’ve got to get him out!”
