Chapter 9: The Destruction of the Tianlang Gang (2)

Hunter Liu sneered, bent down to pick up a knife, and shouted again, "Liu Huihui, act quickly, or you'll regret it for the rest of your life."

Hunter Liu knew that once the secret of the Songxia Village cemetery was revealed, their peaceful lives would be over. The days ahead would likely be filled with endless killing and bloodshed. If Liu Huihui didn't even have the courage to kill when faced with such a life, he would be wiped out by it.

After speaking, Hunter Liu said no more. He stepped forward, the sharp tip of the knife like a venomous snake, aimed directly at Song Hua.

"Roar!" Song Hua had just regained his balance, still unable to adjust his disoriented mind when a strong sense of danger suddenly surged within him. He roared and raised his fist to strike Hunter Liu once more.

In his heart, Song Hua was furious. If it were under normal circumstances, with his second-level Meridian Opening cultivation, how could he be overpowered by a mere Body Refining eighth-level warrior? His punch should have been enough to land, but why could Hunter Liu avoid it so easily?

As Song Hua lifted his fist, a flash of white light appeared before his eyes. Immediately, a sharp pain pierced his chest, and his disoriented mind became utterly blurred. His body weakened, and he stumbled backward.

Even with his second-level Meridian Opening cultivation, facing Hunter Liu, a Body Refining eighth-level warrior, Song Hua hadn't been able to exert even 30% of his usual power. This battle ended with him being utterly humiliated.

"Huihui, are you still not going to act?" Hunter Liu coldly glanced at the collapsed Song Hua and then turned to the shocked Liu Huihui, who stood not far away. He scolded him sharply.

"Brother Tian, can you do it?" Liu Huihui's face showed a conflicted expression as he bitterly said.

Hunter Liu, ignoring him, hung the bloodstained knife at his waist and walked outside, leaving behind a cold sentence: "If they aren't dead, Songxia Village will never know peace. That's all I'll say. I'll be waiting for you outside. You've got five minutes."

After leaving the forest, a look of apology finally appeared on Hunter Liu's face, but it quickly disappeared. He led two horses forward and started riding in the direction ahead.

"I hope Huihui can take the first step. Otherwise, he'll spend his life hiding."

After walking 200 meters, Hunter Liu stopped. He had discarded the cloth from his face, and a hint of anticipation appeared on his expression.

Liu Huihui did not disappoint him. In less than five minutes, Liu Huihui appeared from behind, holding a knife. His face was pale, but there was a resolute look in his eyes.

Hunter Liu approached him, patted his shoulder, and laughed lightly, saying, "Don't think too much. These people deserved to die. Let's get back quickly."

Liu Huihui raised his head, his voice trembling slightly. "Brother Hunter, I… I know they deserved to die, but… but…"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Just as Liu Huihui was speaking, Hunter Liu's ears twitched, and his face immediately changed. He shouted, "Get on the horse, the Skeleton Gang is here."

Hunter Liu was also shocked. He hadn't expected the Skeleton Gang to arrive so quickly. Without hesitation, they both jumped onto their horses, and Hunter Liu whipped the horse's rear with the knife, sending them charging forward like arrows.

"Brother Hunter, there are several people chasing us from behind, and they're faster than us. What should we do now?" Liu Huihui had lost the fear he had earlier. After running a few hundred meters, he looked back and saw several riders about 500 meters behind them, their speed nearly double theirs.

Hunter Liu glanced back briefly, then thought for a moment before saying, "Huihui, there's a wooden plank iron chain bridge ahead. Cross it as quickly as possible, then cut the ropes to collapse the bridge. That way, even if they reach the village, it'll take them at least two hours to get there. Once we're back at the village, have the old village chief lead the villagers out temporarily and spread the news about the secret of the cemetery. At that point, the Skeleton Gang will become a target for everyone. Many forces will attack them, and the Skeleton Gang won't be able to withstand it and will eventually be destroyed. Then Songxia Village will be safe."

Liu Huihui thought carefully and immediately agreed, realizing that Hunter Liu's plan was brilliant.

However, Liu Huihui soon furrowed his brows and asked, "Brother Hunter, I'll go cut the ropes and destroy the bridge, but what will you do?"

There was a wooden plank iron chain bridge stretching across Poyang Lake, wide and stable enough for horses to gallop across. Destroying it would be no easy task.

Hunter Liu replied, "The wooden plank iron chain bridge can't be destroyed instantly, so I have to stay behind to block the Skeleton Gang. Otherwise, you won't have enough time to destroy the bridge."
