"They’ve arrived!"

In the dense forest, Jia Zhenjing was already leading a group of people standing at the highest point, waiting for the assassins from the Heavenly Punishment Alliance who were the first to arrive. These people had been the most active recently. Without them, the Huayu Group wouldn’t have had to shut down for several days.

If this Execution Alliance openly declared war on the South Heavenly Gate, the people of South Heavenly Gate wouldn’t have to be afraid. After all, it’s out in the open. But this kind of assassination truly gives the South Heavenly Gate a headache.

"Damn it! The Heavenly Punishment Alliance just shows up whenever they feel like it. These assassins are basically refusing to give us any way to survive!" Jia Zhenjing was standing on the same line with the old man, looking at the pitch-black mountain path. A team of assassins quietly infiltrated into the dense forest.

They were only a dozen miles from the South Heavenly Gate headquarters. If they couldn’t effectively stop them now, this aggressive team of assassins would inevitably threaten the safety of the South Heavenly Gate!

"Fallen, are you ready? These bastards are coming tonight. Don’t you think, given our Blazing Angel’s style, we shouldn’t let them leave?" Jia Zhenjing licked his crimson lips, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Heh heh, Old Jia, when have you seen me afraid of this kind of thing? Isn’t it just a matter of killing a few people? Back during the Holy War, didn’t we kill quite a few?"

The old man chuckled, his dry face looking extremely lewd as he laughed.

"Alright then, when the fight breaks out, how about we have a contest?"

"Contest? Contest for what?" The old man’s eyebrows perked up as he asked.

"You old geezer, of course, it’s a contest to see who kills more people. You think I’m joking around with you?" Jia Zhenjing squinted his eyes, giving him a sidelong glance, which made the old man chuckle foolishly.

Whoosh... Immediately! A ghostly light swiftly swooped down from the peak, fast as lightning, charging down towards the dense forest below.

"Heh heh, how could I miss out on this wonderful event?" the old man laughed slyly and then followed Jia Zhenjing’s route, quickly swooping down. Instantly, two exceptional masters led the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang and Seventy-two Earthly Fiends to charge down the mountainside, clashing in a chaotic battle with the assassins. Many readers can’t differentiate between the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang and the Seventy-two Earthly Fiends. They are Hidden Kill and Ming Zhan, two halls. They were once a split from the Shadow Group’s One Hundred and Eight Death Gods...

"Boom!"

With Jia Zhenjing’s strong entrance, the war suddenly broke out fiercely, with several people’s bodies being pierced by the Divine Rainbow. Then, with the old man’s involvement and Hidden Kill and Ming Zhan’s powerful assault, these guys didn’t even understand why they had already lost more than half of their comrades.

These assassins were composed of some greedy small groups. They hoped to gain some benefits before the war broke out. They knew the South Heavenly Gate had quite a few treasures. If they could seize the opportunity to get what they wanted, they’d surely gain a lot. But they forgot, even a lean camel from the South Heavenly Gate is bigger than a horse!

"Da da da... da da da... da da da..."

The merciless machine guns and submachine guns, in the hands of these demons from Hidden Kill and Ming Zhan, played a powerful role. The scorching and rapid bullets whistled past; errant stones, flying wood debris, and dirt splattered everywhere with each sweep...

"Pop pop pop..." Seven or eight cultivators with slightly weaker cultivation had their chests blown out on the spot, spurting blood mist.

"Ha ha! Kill them all!"

On the mountaintop, a member of Hidden Kill was yelling, holding a Gatling gun, almost making sparks fly everywhere, with the Gatling’s muzzle fire like a small Fire Dragon devouring countless lives.

The war quickly concluded, in less than a dozen minutes. All the assassins who had infiltrated the South Heavenly Gate were wiped out with no survivors!

When the war ended, the scene was silent, smoke coiled, flames shot up to the sky, and all the surrounding forests were set ablaze, looking extremely disordered.

And there, in the middle of the battlefield, old man and Jia Zhenjing, the two idiots, squatted on a small green stone, the two of them smoking cigarettes, jumping around the piles of dead bodies, counting how many people they had killed together.

"Ha ha! I killed eighteen bastards. Fallen, did you kill more than I did?" This guy crouched on the green stone with a cigarette in his mouth, counting one corpse after another.

"Heh heh, I also killed eighteen. Are we even then?" The old man also squatted and grinned, laughing slyly.

"You old geezer, no way, no way! That means you lost. I won."

"How did I lose?" The old man blinked, very unhappy with this way of comparison.

"Come on! I’m the banker! If the banker ties with you, of course, the banker wins! Don’t you know that?"

Jia Zhenjing glared with a cunning expression.

"..."

The old man’s face flushed, but he couldn’t say anything. He had no choice but to concede to Jia Zhenjing’s reasoning...

Then, until the second half of the night, not a trace of a person was seen within dozens of miles of the South Heavenly Gate headquarters. At last, the South Heavenly Gate could catch a break. But in the Zhonghai City.

Within the South Heavenly Gate’s inner circle, a hundred thousand members were divided into three forces, launching an attack towards the southeast, south, and west of Zhonghai against the Green Gang and Hongmen. As the Green Gang and Hongmen advanced into Zhonghai, they were said to be a hundred thousand strong!

A large number of people, to avoid surveillance, chose to settle in the desolate suburbs.

Under the night sky, Shao Huo led his brothers, whom he had trained, to start infiltrating into the East District’s suburban area.

Shao Huo encountered the Green Gang, and when the two big gangs confronted each other head-on, it was almost a clash of thousands against thousands!

After several long hours of battle, Shao Huo of the South Heavenly Gate suffered a great defeat! During his escape, his left tendon was crippled! If it hadn’t been for the help of a few excellent brothers he had cultivated over time, he might have lost his life in tonight’s battle...

The Green Gang’s numbers were fierce, and among them were some extraordinary people, something Shao Huo never expected before coming...

The following morning, the Heavenly Punishment Alliance began to slowly infiltrate. Surprisingly, it wasn’t other factions that stood out first, but rather the three great families of Shangguan, Ouyang, and Nolan who launched a fierce attack on the South Heavenly Gate!

Although they didn’t know where Lin Zifeng had gone, at least based on intelligence and the retreat of the South Heavenly Gate in recent days, they knew Lin Zifeng was definitely not at the South Heavenly Gate.

Meanwhile, Beiming Yu from the Beiming Mansion seemed restless these days. The Beiming Family is known to be in an alliance with the South Heavenly Gate. Now that an ally faces such calamity, the Beiming Family also becomes the target of all forces.

Everyone speculated that Beiming Yu would surely take action!

Yet, after a long period of speculation, the Beiming Family remained calm and unaffected. Everyone knows there’s a big figure in the Beiming Family, making it untouchable. Since they couldn’t touch the Beiming Family, they turned on the South Heavenly Gate. Once the South Heavenly Gate collapses, the Beiming Family would lose a major pawn. In everyone’s eyes, the South Heavenly Gate is just a dog of the Beiming Family.
