The burly Fourth Boss looked at the Treasury Manager and the patrol captain, both sides sticking to their own stories. He had a sudden inspiration.
"Enough nonsense! No one can fool me, Shi Lao Si! If I just kill all of you, the problem disappears!"
Both sides were dumbfounded. What kind of bullshit logic was this??
Following the Fourth Boss's order, he led a group of gang members and launched indiscriminate attacks on both groups.
"Shi Lao Si, you idiot!"
"Joining the Black Stone Gang was the worst luck of eight lifetimes!"
Outside, the fight was in full swing, with no distinction between friend and foe.
Inside the treasury, Chen Yi was happily plundering.
Feeling the boxes were packed full, enough for him to splurge in the short term, Chen Yi thought it was time to withdraw.
"Time to go to the dock, pick up Da Chun, and leave this damn place... Huh?"
In the corner of the treasury.
Chen Yi saw a white mask with a black flame pattern on it.
Chen Yi clearly remembered that the group of mysterious people who slaughtered his family and the entire Luoding Village wore masks exactly like this!
"Why does the Black Stone Gang have this mask? Could it be the Black Stone Gang participated in the village massacre?"
Chen Yi's eyes instantly turned sharp. Dragging the large box, he kicked open the treasury door.
At that moment, Shi Lao Si outside had already finished off both fighting groups.
"Hahaha! I told you, no one can fool me!"
Turning his head, he happened to see Chen Yi walking out.
"Instructor Chen, no need for your help, I've already dealt with these troublesome fellows!"
Someone reminded him.
"Fourth Boss! Something's wrong, Instructor Chen seems to be stealing money!"
Shi Lao Si glanced at the box Chen Yi was dragging, and his expression immediately turned unfriendly.
"Chen, what's the meaning of this? Even I, the dignified Fourth Boss, only dare to take a little secretly when I need money. How can you take a whole box at once!"
Is that the main point here?
Chen Yi was speechless. This guy's IQ wasn't even worthy of sharing a table with Da Chun.
"Whose mask is this?"
Chen Yi took out the white mask.
Shi Lao Si glanced at it and shook his head.
"Don't know it! You put that box of money down first, or don't blame me for being rude!"
"If you don't know it, then go die."
"Oh ho? You had one meal with the gang leader and now you don't know heaven from earth, is that it? All of you, stay back! I'll teach him a lesson personally!"
Shi Lao Si, holding a spiked club, swung it down at Chen Yi's head.
Chen Yi didn't dodge or evade. Instead, he swung a backhand slap upwards.
Protected by Spiritual Energy, no matter how sharp the spikes on the club were, as long as it wasn't a Spirit Artifact and the opponent's realm was inferior to Chen Yi's, it was difficult to injure him.
"SMACK!!"
A loud slapping sound echoed, and the spiked club instantly vanished from Shi Lao Si's hand.
"SMACK!!"
As Shi Lao Si looked around in confusion for his club, Chen Yi delivered another backhand slap, sending him spinning 720 degrees in the air.
If not for his ample body fat, this slap would have killed or crippled him.
Beaten senseless, Shi Lao Si finally realized something was wrong.
"What are you all standing around for! Get him!"
"Fourth Boss, didn't you tell us all to stay back?"
"Idiots! Can't you see I can't beat him?!"
No matter how many more came, it was the same.
Chen Yi directly used the box filled with gold, silver, and jewels in his hand, smashing it into the gang members charging at him.
"BANG!!"
One box swing down, heads cracked and blood flowed, silver ingots scattering everywhere!
"BANG!!"
Another box swing down, bones snapped and tendons severed, jewels flying through the air!
No fancy techniques or Martial Arts, just pure numerical overpowering.
Oh right, there was also the effect of "Badminton Expert," giving Chen Yi's right arm double the strength, making his box-swinging even more ferocious.
A few clever guys on the periphery fetched bows and arrows, planning a wave of long-range firepower.
In response, Chen Yi countered with the Martial Art Wind Wave Palm.
A fierce wind rose from the ground, blowing away those few who wanted to shoot cold arrows, along with their bows, from dozens of meters away.
"THUMP!!"
Chen Yi stepped on Shi Lao Si's chest, pinning him down.
The surrounding lackeys who hadn't been beaten to death yet no longer dared to approach.
"Let me ask you one more time, do you recognize this mask!"
Shi Lao Si, feeling several of his ribs were already broken, wore an expression of utmost sincerity.
"Brother Chen, I really don't know this mask. Could you ask me about something I do know? I swear I won't lie!"
Chen Yi believed he truly didn't know.
"Do any of you know?"
The surviving lackeys widened their eyes to identify it, but unfortunately, they didn't know either.
No matter. He could ask Gang Leader Shi San at the dock later.
Chen Yi pressed down hard with his foot, ending Shi Lao Si's life.
Immediately after, he drew the Flame Iron Heavy Sword, performed the Cloud-Shattering Sword Technique, and slaughtered all the lackeys present, sparing not a single one.
When Chen Yi walked out of the treasury courtyard, Black Stone Gang members arrived in waves, drawn by the noise.
They were like the Calabash Brothers trying to save their grandfather, all falling under Chen Yi's sword.
These gang members who forced laborers, drove people to feed demons, and committed every evil deed—Chen Yi showed them not an ounce of mercy.
Chen Yi fought his way all to the dock.
The red sword blade grew increasingly crimson, dripping with still-warm blood.
Dozens of Black Stone Gang members blocked Chen Yi's path to the dock, yet none dared to step forward.
For every step Chen Yi took forward, they took a step back.
Realm suppression, trait effects, wielding a Spirit Artifact.
These three advantages allowed Chen Yi to move through the Black Stone Gang as if entering an unguarded territory.
Shi San stood on the dock, watching Chen Yi fight his way there, his face ashen as if he had swallowed a fly.
"Chen Yi! You were indeed pretending to surrender!"
Chen Yi walked step by step, his face still wearing a sunny expression, yet an overwhelming killing intent emanated from his body, creating a stark contrast.
"Wow, you're so smart. You actually figured that out."
Chen Yi said sarcastically.
Shi San was so angry he was practically puffing steam.
"Get him! Chop him to death!!"
A gang member said tremblingly.
"Boss, all the brothers who went up have been chopped to death by him..."
Shi San roared in anger.
"Cowards! It's precisely because you're all hesitant and timid that he can pick you off one by one! If you all charge together, no matter how powerful he is, can he kill all of you at once?!"
The corners of the gang members' mouths twitched.
Damn, Boss, you make so much sense.
As long as we manage to land a hit on him before we're all dead, that counts as a victory, right?
The laborers on the dock had stopped working by now.
Everyone had witnessed Chen Yi's heroic display of slaughtering everyone in his path.
It seems the Black Stone Gang can't stop him?
If the Black Stone Gang is finished, we'll be free!
Only Da Chun was still honestly carrying sacks. He asked curiously.
"Why aren't any of you working anymore?"
Chen Yi walked straight to Da Chun's side.
"Da Chun, you don't need to work either. We're going home."
"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Yi!"
Chen Yi smiled and nodded.
On the other side, Shi San still hadn't realized Chen Yi had reached the Spirit Gathering realm, foolishly believing he could defeat him through numbers.
"Second Hall, block the dock exit! Third Hall, get on the boats and block the waterways! Everyone else, come with me! Are you telling me our Black Stone Gang can be wiped out by one man?!"
Shi San took off his shirt, revealing a muscular physique.
He also activated some technique, causing all his muscles to swell another size.
Everyone compared and felt their gang leader's apparent physical strength seemed stronger than Chen Yi's?
So they obeyed Shi San's order, blocking Chen Yi's path.
Seeing this, Chen Yi tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes and wiped the bloodstains from the Flame Iron Heavy Sword.
"Today, I'm taking him with me. Let's see who dares to stop me!"
