Chapter 80

Using a Borrowed Knife to Kill [5 Updates]

"Master Qian, what brings you to Laoyagou to see your nephew in the dead of night?"

Shi Yuanbai was very composed, and his face quickly regained its calmness, even showing a hint of cynicism.

The situation remains uncertain.

He knew very well that he couldn't afford to lose his composure.

Even though several of the Sand Gang's henchmen around him were trembling with fear, Shi Yuanbai was still able to maintain his composure.

Qian Hong glanced at the sacks on the carriage that were not yet tied up.

Just then, I saw an arm fall out.

The atmosphere suddenly became eerie.

"Hmm..."

The hook-nosed bodyguard stood up with a sob, glancing at Qian Hong in fear.

"A master of tendon training!"

He was just slapped away by this tall, strong man in front of him.

This is something only those with strong muscles and tendons can do.

The hook-nosed镖客 (bodyguard/courier) glanced at Qian Hong, then at Shi Yuanbai. He immediately understood that he was an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire; this unfamiliar, powerful man's target was Shi Yuanbai, not him.

"Senior, I was just passing by; this has nothing to do with me..."

The hook-nosed bodyguard looked at Qian Hong with fawning eyes.

He had no intention of resisting the expert who had mastered the tendons.

"Does a镖客's life even deserve to be called a life?"

Qian Hong looked over indifferently.

Instantly.

With just one glance, the hook-nosed镖客 felt as if he were being pricked by thorns. Although Qian Hong had not made a move, his intuition told him that his escape route had been blocked and there was nowhere to retreat.

Or rather, if he dares to make the slightest move, he will become a corpse in the next instant.

The Great Perfection of Tendon Training is terrifying!

A bitter smile crept onto the hook-nosed dartsman's lips.

According to the rules of the martial arts world in Qing Kingdom, even if these镖客 (bodyguards/escorts) who are paid to do things are killed, no one will pursue the matter. The laws of Qing Kingdom will not care, and the government has even less interest in getting involved, not to mention that he is not even a citizen of Qing Kingdom.

"I'm afraid we're going to fail."

Shi Yuanbai saw all of this, but remained calm.

He is the young leader of the Sand Gang, and his father is Shi Fengsha.

If Qian Hong discovers his scheme to buy people today, at most he'll be locked up in jail, but his father can get him out in a few days, so he won't lose his life.

Shi Yuanbai was certain that Qian Hong would not dare to kill him.

Both having reached the Great Perfection of Tendon Refining, Qian Hong has a wife and children. Unless he is prepared to live a life of constant danger, he would never become mortal enemies with Qian Hong.

The saying "Leave a way out for others" is a common saying in the martial arts world, and this is the principle behind it.

"Master Qian, I made a mistake in a moment of confusion. I won't trouble you, Uncle. I'll go to the yamen to turn myself in myself."

That's all.

Shi Yuanbai then ordered his men to bring out ropes and tie his hands together.

A true surrender.

He intended to resolve tonight's crisis with a charge he could bear.

However, Qian Hong showed no appreciation whatsoever for Shi Yuanbai's behavior.

A strong wind arose.

"Flying Eagle Grand Capture!"

Shi Yuanbai's face stung from the wind, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Qian Hong disregarded seniority and attacked him directly!

This moment.

Shi Yuanbai could no longer remain calm.

Although he didn't know what Qian Hong knew, it was clear that Qian Hong had come to take his life today!

"Damn it!"

Shi Yuanbai's muscles twitched.

With a bang.

The rope in his hand snapped as he exerted all his strength.

He was just putting on an act earlier; now Qian Hong really wants him dead, so Shi Yuanbai certainly can't just sit and wait to die.

The Sand Gang members around him also changed their expressions drastically.

Tonight, he will bring only his trusted confidants.

So even though they knew they were no match for Qian Hong, the group of men still picked up their long knives, gave a low shout to bolster their courage, and charged toward Qian Hong.

Earthen chickens and clay dogs.

More than ten people couldn't even withstand Qian Hong's palm strike.

It is truly something that will injure you if you rub it, and kill you if you touch it.

They were all knocked to the ground, some even vomiting blood and fainting on the spot.

"How dare he??"

Shi Yuanbai's eyes were practically popping out of their sockets.

A sense of despair arose in my heart.

He was a genius, but Qian Hong was a master who grew up to be a genius.

The two were not even in the same league.

The outcome was predetermined.

"Hmm..."

Qian Hong's large, eagle-claw-like hand easily gripped Shi Yuanbai's throat, rendering his previous resistance futile.

It wasn't that Shi Yuanbai was incompetent, but rather that his opponent was Qian Hong.

A crisp sound.

Shi Yuanbai tilted his head to the side and then fell completely still.

"Young...Young Master is dead??"

The surrounding members of the Sand Gang were terrified when they saw this scene.

Just as they tried to escape, Qian Hong killed them all.

In the blink of an eye, the ground was littered with corpses.

The only remaining hook-nosed gunslinger swallowed hard upon seeing this scene.

I was just about to run away.

Qian Hong charged forward with a murderous aura, only to be slapped on the top of the head, bleeding from all seven orifices and dying instantly.

Qian Hong has always been ruthless towards bodyguards.

In his view, the moment you take money to kill someone, you must be prepared to be killed yourself.

If it weren't for the bodyguards back then, my senior brother Zheng Yue would have been besieged by several bodyguards, which would have completely ruined his martial arts career.

soon.

The dense forest returned to complete silence.

Zhong Xuan's figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

"Senior brother, I'll have to trouble you to make another trip next."

Qian Hong looked at Zhong Xuan, a smile appearing on his face:

Qian Hong looked at Zhong Xuan, a smile appearing on his face:

"Junior brother, there's no need for formalities between us. Come to think of it, you've given your senior brother a great gift."

Not bad.

That's why he's here today.

It was Zhong Xuan who provided the clue.

Zhong Xuan knew this because he had put in a lot of hard work.

With his superior lightness skill and the intelligence provided by Zhang Lie, tracking and monitoring Shi Yuanbai was not difficult; it just required a little more patience.

Zhong Xuan gazed at Shi Yuanbai, who still clung to the ground with a faint breath, and three words surfaced in his mind:

Marquis Rong'an.

Shi Yuanbai did not die.

Furthermore, neither he nor Qian Hong intended to let Shi Yuanbai die at their hands.

To use someone else to do one's dirty work.

If nothing unexpected happens, Shi Yuanbai will appear at the gate of the Rong'an Marquis's residence in three days.

Shi Yuanbai had practiced the Black Witch Cult's techniques, and even Zhong Xuan could sense his demonic aura.

He didn't believe that a high-ranking family like the Marquis of Rong'an's mansion couldn't see through it.

With just a little prompting, the Rong'an Marquis's residence will naturally handle it.

Marquis Rong'an was a military marquis. He had suffered such a great loss at the Black Witch Cult before, and by picking up a follower of the Black Witch Cult, the outcome was almost already predetermined.

When the Marquis's household wanted to kill someone, no one dared to stop them.

We must ensure that the sandstorms never end!

The crown prince is called the foundation of the state because having offspring is the most important matter for a country.

The same applies within a gang.

The Sand Gang's growing prosperity in recent years is inseparable from Shi Yuanbai, a qualified successor.

Once Shi Yuanbai dies, the Sha Gang will surely be thrown into turmoil.

The martial arts competition would naturally give them an edge over the Sand Gang.

Qian Hong's plan, which he had been planning for so many years, actually came true just like that.

His gaze toward Zhong Xuan grew increasingly satisfied.

There are advantages to being old.

They are thorough and thoughtful in their actions.

Today's events were almost entirely planned by Zhong Xuan.

It's better to wait until the night is long and things can get complicated.

Qian Hong rushed the unconscious Shi Yuanbai to the Rong'an Marquis's residence overnight.
