Boom!

The tightly closed door was blasted open and a group of ferocious Black Tiger gang members stormed in.

At the same time, hundreds of people split up and surrounded Courtyard No. 49. Even a fly couldn’t escape, let alone a person.

Old Tiger Lu nodded in satisfaction. His subordinates were all elites within the gang. They were shrewd, ruthless, and sharp-witted, and so they always handled matters efficiently.

Old Tiger Lu didn’t charge into the courtyard. Although the target was only a teenager, he knew the target wasn’t easy to deal with given the fact that the employer offered the enormous price of one thousand silver coins and an aeth tool.

Based on the circumstances, Old Tiger Lu naturally wouldn’t take any risks before he understood the situation.

Time passed by.

Old Tiger Lu suddenly frowned. His subordinates had already stormed the target’s house, but there still wasn’t any noises of fighting.

Could something unexpected have happened?

As this thought flashed through Old Tiger Lu’s mind, one of his subordinates darted over to him and reported, “Leader, the target isn’t at home!”

Old Tiger Lu’s face darkened. “Have you searched carefully?”

The subordinate said irritably, “I've looked everywhere. There isn’t even a single coin let alone a person! The target must have heard and fled the moment the situation looked bad!”

All the people who charged into Courtyard No. 49 returned with disappointment across their faces.

A tinge of bad feeling surged in Old Tiger Lu’s heart. His voice turned ice-cold as he fumed, “What a bunch of useless trash. Go and kill all the spies who were supposed to keep watch here. How dare they ruin my great plan!”

“Yes.”

A dozen of experts immediately accepted the orders.

“Leader, it seems that the target has indeed left long ago. We are going to have to return without accomplishing anything,” someone sighed.

Old Tiger Lu’s face was dark and unpleasant. He had brought hundreds of people with him and stormed the courtyard in a mighty and murderous manner. But he failed to achieve what he wanted to so it was natural that he felt disgruntled.

Do we have to admit defeat?

Old Tiger Lu felt extremely bitter.

“Leader, it’s not good! It’s not good!”

Suddenly, a panicked voice rang from the distance. A scout staggered over, making many people restless.

The target has already escaped, could there be worse news than that?

Fury surged in Old Tiger Lu’s heart. He lashed out at the scout with a kick and scolded, “Why are you so flustered? Are you here to report or announce death?”

Visibly in pain, the scout writhed on the ground and wailed, “Leader, it’s really bad!”

Old Tiger Lu was so furious that he wanted to kill the useless trash with one slash of his blade. He hissed through gritted teeth, “What the hell is so bad?! Do you want to find out what death is like?”

The scout grimaced and said trembling, “Our... our den has been attacked!”

What?!

Old Tiger Lu’s face changed dramatically as if he had been struck by lightning.

The other gang members’ faces also blanched. The same thought came to their minds, Someone dared to take advantage of the situation to attack our den?

Who in the slums ate the guts of a bear and attacked the Black Tiger Gang?

“Damn it. It seems that someone is tired of living! They want to take advantage of the chance that we are away from the den to pick up a huge bargain!”

“Could it be Barbarian Hu from the Green Bamboo Gang? He has always made things difficult for our Black Tiger Gang. It might be him!”

“Barbarian Hu wants to die!”

Roars of anger rang out from the crowd and turned the scene chaotic. That moment revealed that those gangs were, after all, a group of outlaws who couldn’t be seen in public. They couldn’t be compared with the military which had strict discipline. They were nothing more than a group of individual mobs.

“Shut up!” A thunder-like roar resounded in all directions and frightened everyone.

Old Tiger Lu was ferocious and a murderous rage covered his face. He hissed through gritted teeth, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and come with me! Don’t tell me you want to wait until our den is completely taken over?

Everyone was jolted to their senses.

……

The time before Old Tiger Lu led his subordinates to Courtyard No. 49.

In a spacious area in the southwest of the slums stood a grand building like a castle rising from the ground. Compared with the cramped and dilapidated houses nearby, it was incredibly eye-catching akin to a crane in a flock of chickens.

It was the den of the Black Tiger Gang. Ordinary people wouldn’t dare to take a step near there.

It was getting dark, and the lights in the Black Tiger Gang’s den were brightly lit making it seem like daytime. Although Old Tiger Lu had brought five hundred gang members with him, there were still hundreds of guards guarding the den.

Lin Xun carefully concealed himself on the roofs of the houses opposite the old den. He surveyed the Black Tiger Gang’s den from several dozen meters away and whispered, “Have you hid away all the valuable things in the house?”

“Uh-huh.”

Xia Zhi’s voice sounded in the dark. It sounded so ethereal that even Lin Xun couldn’t locate her exact location with his current spirit power!

The way she concealed her breathing and made herself invisible was astonishing.

Lin Xun even felt that Xia Zhi belonged to the darkness—She was ethereal, elusive, and impossible to predict.

“We don’t have much time. We should act now,” Xia Zhi reminded.

As Lin Xun took a deep breath, a murderous intent flashed in his dark eyes. “Let’s do it!”

Shua!

Before his voice faded, he drew the Spirit Arm Bow, crouched down, gathered strength in his arms, and pulled back the bowstring until the bow bent into a half-moon shape.

His series of actions was as smooth as flowing water and completed in one breath!

In an instant, a figure that was standing guard by the second floor window collapsed to the ground and died on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning.

At the same time, a blaze of fire exploded at the same location. The fire blazed up. It was the power from the explosion of a Blazing Sun Arrow. The flames could spread across tens of feet and was an extremely vicious attack.

The fire flared up and many people cried out in panic. The guards scattered around the Black Tiger Gang’s den broke into an uproar.

On the roof of a house in the distance, Lin Xun was still very calm. He didn’t stop after shooting the first arrow. He waited for an opportunity to quickly follow up with another ten arrows.

Beng! Beng! Beng!

The Blazing Sun Arrows screeched across the night sky like meteors, almost bursting many people’s eardrums. The arrows all took different routes and instantly penetrated the Black Tiger Gang’s den.

There, everything fell into chaos. Numerous figures scampered about like headless flies. They were at a loss on what to do without Old Tiger Lu leading them.

That gave Lin Xun the best chance to kill.

Each Blazing Sun Arrow produced a loud thunderous boom as it struck someone with one hundred percent accuracy. It was as though the raging sun was wreaking havoc!

In the blink of an eye, the Black Tiger Gang's den had become a sea of flames. Everywhere were tragic cries, furious roars, and raging flames.

The majority of the Black Tiger Gang members were ordinary people and only a small number were cultivators. Moreover, Old Tiger Lu had brought all the elites in the gang with him; consequently, the den was left in an extremely vulnerable state.

One round of a shower of arrows had thrown them into disarray and made them flee in panic. However, a small number of cultivators remained calm in comparison. They had encountered an enemy attack in the past.

Those cultivators hid, ready to strike back.

They knew that Gang Leader Old Tiger Lu would surely return as quickly as possible after receiving the news. They only needed to persist for a while, and when he returned, regardless of how many enemies there were, they would be struck with the most brutal attack!

“Listen! Carefully hide, and if you encounter any invading enemies, kill without mercy!” roared a burly middle-aged bearded man.

He looked muscular and fearsome as he clasped a double ax and stood behind a giant stone pillar like an iron tower.

A fire raged around the main entrance and flames danced in the air but a young figure in black strode through the inferno.

She was holding a bone spear and was wearing a black wind-proof robe. The brim of her hat covered most of her face, and only a small part of her beautiful and fair chin was exposed, making her look particularly mysterious.

A little girl?

The burly man frowned, not expecting the enemy to be a little girl.

But soon, he controlled his emotions and assumed a fierce look. It doesn’t matter who it is. Anyone who dares to break in must die!

Xia Zhi seemed unconcerned about everything around her as she only walked straight ahead. Her pace seemed slow but she arrived at the hall in the blink of an eye.

When she came to a stone pillar, a roar suddenly boomed out—

“Die!”

Amidst the roar, a bright and sharp giant double ax swung down. But just as it was about to strike, Xia Zhi was no longer there.

The burly man’s pupils rapidly shrank. He realized the situation was very bad but it was already too late.

With a pop, a bone spear skewered right through his chest from behind and pulverized even his heart.

The burly man dropped to the ground with a loud thud, his eyes bulging, and he couldn’t rest his eyes even in death.

“Hall Master Liu is dead!”

“Who was that little girl? Why is she so terrifying?”

“Where is she? Where did she go?”

The cultivators hiding in different places in the hall were frozen with terror and their hair stood on end when they saw the burly man being killed in a single attack.

It was too terrifying!

They would have thought that it was an illusion if they hadn’t witnessed it with their own eyes.

They didn’t dare to move rashly. Instead, they increased their vigilance and just prayed that their gang leader would hurry back. Otherwise, they likely wouldn’t be able to survive.

“Ah—”

Suddenly, a tragic scream rang out and a cultivator hiding on the roof beam tumbled to the ground. His throat had a hole pierced through it and it was spewing out blood.

That scene again filled the other cultivators with terror and left them trembling. Before they even saw what happened, another comrade of theirs had been slain!

Is she a ghost?

Boom!

Very soon, one side of the main hall crumbled down, whipping up dust and smoke. A cultivator’s body lay among the collapsed wall. His bones were crushed and his flesh mangled. It had been a miserable death.

Seeing this, the cultivators, who were hiding in other places, were unable to bear the terror anymore. They jumped out screaming. They had decided not to scatter around the hall but gather together.

The enemy was too terrifying. They could neither see nor perceive what happened. The enemy seemed able to disappear without a trace and their comrades were instantly killed one after another.

Who could bear this?

A dozen cultivators huddled together, their eyes blazing wild with fear. Although trembling in fear, they were extremely vigilant of their surroundings. The firelight flickering indefinitely in the distance highlighted their fierce faces.

Where is the enemy?

Where is the enemy hiding?
