At this thought, Gu Nanzhi slowly let go of her doubts, a faint envy appearing in her eyes.
’Having an Immortal Family for backing must be nice.’
’I guess I’m benefiting from it this time, too.’
「Deep in the night. Black Water North City.」
This area, already somewhat desolate, had become terrifyingly quiet after the Fierce Wolf and the tigers all left for East City.
In the center of the district stood a spacious mansion, its grandeur even surpassing that of the Government Office.
It also had a forecourt and a ceremonial gate.
The main hall was nearly identical, except the stone lions at the entrance had been replaced with three gilded dragon carvings.
On the heavy, black-lacquered plaque, the two words "Chenlong Hall" were written in gold ink.
The scarred old man stood silently at the entrance to the hall.
He reached out, placing a hand on one of the dragon carvings, his expression grim and uncertain.
’From the layout of this Chenlong Hall, it’s clear the Black Water Gang originally intended to replace the Government Office.’
’But now...’
"Heh."
Mountain-Smashing Dragon closed his eyes, his palm tensing as he clearly fought the urge to vent his anger.
But he didn’t dare use any real force, afraid he might leave a mark on the gilded statue representing Overseas Dragon.
He flicked his sleeve and strode into the main hall, taking the high seat behind the wide table.
The old man casually tossed the square box in his hand onto the table.
’The Cheng Family said this was to honor me, but they were just using this old dragon as a cover. In the end, this medicine is for that "Third Leader," isn’t it?’
’Not only do I get nothing out of this, but they even found an excuse to send me away.’
When he thought of that slut carrying on her sordid affair with Cheng Yi, a deep, bone-chilling coldness spread across his face.
After a long moment, Mountain-Smashing Dragon let out a long, heavy sigh.
He leaned back wearily against the cold back of the chair.
He looked down over the entire main hall.
’Only when no one is around can I truly feel the dignity of being the Gang Leader.’
’Fortunately, I was only warned a few days ago.’
’It was humiliating, but Cheng Yi doesn’t actually plan on replacing me as Gang Leader.’
’And the Government Office hasn’t made any other moves.’
’As long as I can swallow this insult, I can remain secure in my position as Gang Leader and continue to serve the Immortal Sect.’
Mountain-Smashing Dragon closed his eyes, consoling himself with these thoughts.
However, when his thoughts turned to that one particular figure, his hands clenched abruptly into fists.
’I can tolerate the Government Office’s provocations and endure Cheng Yi’s contemptuous insults. That’s because they are strong enough and have powerful backing.’
But that Fierce Wolf who had just joined the gang... he was the one who truly stirred a potent killing intent in Mountain-Smashing Dragon’s heart.
"You lowly beast, trying to act like them now, are you?"
Mountain-Smashing Dragon slowly opened his eyes. ’Once this is all over, if I don’t skin that Greedy Wolf alive and rip his bones out, how will I ever quell this hatred in my heart?’
As his thoughts churned,
the scar on the old man’s face suddenly began to twitch violently.
His pupils abruptly dilated.
He saw a streak of snow-white sword light tear through the pitch-black night. Wherever it passed, green bricks shattered and massive pillars cracked apart.
Spiritual Power surged through Mountain-Smashing Dragon. At the last second, when the sword light was only ten feet away, he flung himself sideways.
RUMBLE—
Like a falling star, the sword light smashed through the entire wall behind him, and the luxurious hall began to collapse.
Dust and smoke billowed everywhere.
Mountain-Smashing Dragon’s first reaction upon his narrow escape was to flick his sleeve, snatching the square box from the table.
He knew what Cheng Yi would do to him if he lost it.
"Gu Nanzhi, have you gone mad!"
Only after confirming the medicine box was safe did the old man bellow furiously at the sky, his voice a mixture of shock and rage.
’Does that bitch still think this is ten years ago? How dare she ambush me!’
His answer was five consecutive streaks of sword light.
Mountain-Smashing Dragon retreated repeatedly, barely dodging three of the streaks, but the remaining two blasts of Sword Qi cornered him.
He let out a sudden, low roar.
An earthen light flared, and layers of mud oozed from his skin. The mud rapidly solidified, taking on a metallic sheen in the blink of an eye.
THUD! THUD!
Amidst the dull thuds, the old man was sent flying.
The green bricks beneath him shattered and flew into the air, and the damp earth shot up a hundred feet, forming an Earth Python that caught and steadied him.
Mountain-Smashing Dragon steadied himself and looked down at the arms that had blocked the Sword Qi.
The earthen layer was peeling away, revealing raw, blood-drenched flesh.
"Go!"
The woman in the Purple Flood Dragon Wave-Stepping Shirt finally revealed herself.
She rapidly formed a series of Sword Formulas, and in moments, a dozen more streaks of snow-white Sword Qi materialized in mid-air.
Her expression was calm, but her face had grown a shade paler.
The next moment, the Sword Qi streams merged, forming a thirty-foot-long phantom sword. Vague patterns were even visible on its surface, making it resemble a true Immortal Sword.
With a piercing shriek that tore through the air, the phantom sword shot forward. It shattered the Earth Python that rose to meet it and then viciously engulfed the old man.
PFFT!
It was as if a thousand blades had swept over him. Mountain-Smashing Dragon hunched over as the muddy layer on his body was scraped clean like fish scales. His flesh tore open, and in the blink of an eye, he was covered in blood.
He sprayed a mouthful of blood and staggered.
Gu Nanzhi let out a breath, but her face showed no joy. The old dragon was still clutching the square box.
"Do... you want to die?" Mountain-Smashing Dragon lifted his head, trembling. Even the gaps between his teeth were stained crimson as he stared intently at the distant woman.
Despite his harsh words, he had no intention of fighting back. Instead, he poured every wisp of his Spiritual Power into defense.
’After all these years, who didn’t know the truth about this County Captain?’
’If she were still the same Immortal Sect Disciple from ten years ago, I would have surrendered without a second thought.’
’But now, I don’t have to do anything. I just need to dodge a few more blasts of Sword Qi. If I can hold out long enough, the backlash she suffers will be enough to kill her!’
