Chapter 55 Silencing
Deep inside the alley, the members of the Green Wolf Gang were completely unaware of the changes taking place in the private room upstairs.
A burly member of the Green Wolf Gang, his face covered in scars, was cursing: "Those guys patrolling the streets have been getting increasingly greedy lately. Next month, we'll make those ungrateful shops pay an extra 20% in taxes to fill this hole."
The burly man squatting to the side played with the jade thumb ring he had just snatched from another shop, his eyes filled with a chilling light.
This man's name is Liao Zan, and he is the head of the Green Wolf Gang.
Hearing the red-handed man's complaint, he frowned and asked, "Have you bribed all the patrolmen in the vicinity?"
"It's all been arranged in advance. We'll only keep it a secret for one night; once it's light, the shift change won't be possible."
"One night is enough."
Only the bearded man leaning against the wall seemed lost in thought. He was an old mentor in the gang, having experienced more of the ways of the underworld than the others present, and had seen many unexpected mishaps.
He looked up at the private room on the second floor; the lights were still on. He frowned slightly. "Why have you been talking for so long?"
The red-armed man next to him said dismissively, "That kid looks honest and simple. He has no relatives or friends in the capital. He must be scared out of his wits and begging for mercy."
The old tutor sensed something was amiss and said in a deep voice, "This kid's ability to climb up to the Cui family is probably no simple matter. Have you deployed men at the other alley entrances?"
"Don't worry, we're all in ambush. Even if his martial arts are about the same as our leader's, with so many of us, are we afraid we can't take him down?"
After thinking it over, the old master decided to send one of his men up to take a look.
Just then, footsteps suddenly came from the alley entrance.
The old tutor suddenly turned around and saw a figure slowly emerging from the darkness.
The night wind blew in from the alley entrance, carrying a hint of blood.
"Were you waiting for me?"
The other four people at the alley entrance turned around upon hearing this, and were all stunned to see Chen Ye walking towards them step by step with a knife in his hand.
The old schoolmaster jumped to his feet, his hand already on the hilt of his knife. Alarm bells blared. He shouted, "The wind's blowing hard! Get out of here!"
The man with the red clown's face contorted with rage as he shouted, "What are you afraid of! Let's all go together and take him down!"
Before he could finish speaking...
Chen Ye suddenly exerted force with his feet and rushed directly from ten steps away to the red stick in front of him.
Hong Gun thought his knife was fast enough, but Chen Ye's knife was even faster.
laugh.
He had just raised his hand when Chen Ye's knife arrived before it even touched him.
The blade sliced across his throat cleanly and swiftly.
Red Stick groaned, feeling a chill on his neck.
He instinctively clutched his neck, collapsed limply, and blood gushed from between his fingers.
The other person reacted a beat faster; just as his hand reached for the hilt of his knife, Chen Ye's left fist struck his Adam's apple first.
The protruding joint fits precisely below the Adam's apple.
The combination of the Mountain-Shattering and Formation-Breaking bursts concentrates the power at a single point, instantly shattering the opponent's throat bone.
Chen Ye swiftly slashed with his hand, the blade drawing a line of blood on the side of the opponent's neck.
boom.
boom.
The two people fell down at the same moment, less than a breath or two apart.
The three remaining people deep in the alley finally reacted and quickly gathered back to back.
Chen Ye's face was obscured in the darkness; all that could be seen was a long sword dripping with blood, its golden light gleaming in the candlelight of the restaurant.
Liao Zan was both shocked and furious. He couldn't believe that his men couldn't even last half a move against this man.
The three people stood in a triangular formation, immediately taking precautions.
The old master stood at the front, calmly reassuring everyone, and said, "Don't panic! This person's cultivation is similar to ours. It's three against one, so the advantage is in our hands."
Chen Ye chuckled.
After killing two people, he stepped forward with his sword, charging straight at them head-on without any fancy moves, and slashed them down.
As the saying goes, one force can overcome ten techniques.
Chen Ye used the Shattering Mountain and Breaking Formation techniques, concentrating all his strength on the blade, and used brute force to break through the hard stance!
The old man taught his son to raise his knife and parry.
clang!
In the darkness, the two swords clashed, sparks flying.
The old master's hand trembled violently, his wrist bones felt like they were about to crack, and a tremendous force traveled along the blade, causing the long sword to fly out of his hand.
The next moment, he felt a strong wind rushing towards his face and hurriedly raised his hand.
With a bang.
Chen Ye punched him in the chest, sending him flying backward and crashing into the wall.
After taking Chen Ye's punch, the old master's arms went completely numb and he couldn't lift them at all; he even felt a burning sensation on his skin.
This is definitely not the kind of power one can achieve by being reborn three times!
The old godson shouted hoarsely, "Run! Something's wrong with this man! The intelligence was wrong!"
You only want to leave now?
late.
"You guys go, I'll hold him off."
One of the gang's red-staff members, unarmed, lunged at him.
With his keen senses, Chen Ye deftly dodged the attack from the person in front of him.
He then twisted his wrist, and the blade flashed into the middle, piercing through the chest of the man in the middle, the blade going through his back and pinning him to the wall.
The man opened his mouth but made no sound. He looked down at the hilt of the knife in his chest, incredulous.
The old priestess, standing nearby, tried to take the opportunity to pick up the knife.
As if Chen Ye had eyes, he kicked Chen Ye first.
The old tutor let out a muffled groan, as if struck by a heavy hammer, and instantly collapsed to the ground, his breathing disordered.
The alley suddenly fell silent.
Only faint groans could be heard.
Of the three people, only Liao Zan remained standing in the blink of an eye.
His face turned pale, and he kept looking outside, trying to find a chance to escape.
However, Chen Ye blocked the alley entrance, cutting off his escape route.
He had no choice but to grit his teeth and charge forward with his knife.
Liao Zan's martial arts skills, which he was always proud of, were like child's play in the face of absolute power and were of little use.
Chen, with his savage strength, shattered the opponent's sword momentum with a single strike, then kicked and shattered the opponent's kneecap, causing him to scream and fall to the ground.
Before Liao Zan could react, Chen Ye grabbed his hair and pulled him back, placing a blood-stained long knife against his neck.
He froze, his once rosy face draining of color instantly, turning as pale as paper. He stubbornly said, "I, Liao, am no match for you. I admit defeat today. Do with me as you please."
Row!
After hearing this, Chen Ye didn't say a word and slit his throat with a knife.
Blood gushed from his throat like a spring.
After killing Liao Zan, Chen Ye walked to the dying old priest's side, placed the knife tip near the priest's hand, and pointed the blade at the priest's neck. Looking down at him, he asked, "How did you know about my affairs?"
Knowing he had no chance of survival and only wishing for a quick death, the old tutor hoarsely said, "When you were doing business in Wangjiachong... the person who did it was a relative of Wang Zhigui. He heard some rumors and kept an eye on things on the fifteenth of May, figuring out your situation... Later, when he saw you enter the Cui family, he went to investigate your background and saw that there was something to gain... which led to tonight."
Then he added, "Besides a few of us... no one else knows..."
"Really?" Chen Ye asked calmly. "I don't believe it."
Having figured out the situation, Chen Ye said no more and directly ended his struggle with a swift stroke of his knife, thus ending his life.
The alleyway fell completely silent.
Chen Ye sheathed his knife, searched the corpse for a few taels of silver, and turned to walk out of the alley.
People who frequently commit murder know that killing is easy, but disposing of the body is difficult.
This matter is not completely over yet; we still need to find Su Guang and Zuo Dongxi to finish things up.
