This all happened so fast that the crowd in the gambling house didn't react at first.
It wasn't until Ma Lu pounced on the coffin that Tan Mazi's face dramatically changed, and he bellowed, "Kid, you dare touch a finger on Xu Deputy's corpse and see what happens!"
However, before he could finish speaking, Ma Lu had already reached out and was holding the body.
Tan Mazi was utterly panicked now. He grabbed the Copper Hammer and charged forward, smashing it towards Ma Lu's back!
But Ma Lu, who also had Qinggong on his side, dodged in a flash while still holding onto the body of Xu Deputy and continued to wail mournfully.
"Master, Master! I've come too late!"
Seeing the Copper Hammer about to hit the coffin, Tan Mazi forcibly stopped it at the last moment, but it cost him dearly as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Who is your master, boy? Stop calling out nonsense!"
