Chapter 118: The Attack

Uncle Zhong was greatly alarmed. Eight - Master had just led the elite members of the Green Gang away not long ago, and now a group of menacing people showed up. Clearly, they were well - prepared. A dozen or so Green Gang members in the villa heard the commotion and came out. However, in comparison, they were far inferior in both numbers and momentum. The two Xiao sisters, amidst the chaos, sensed that something was wrong. They quickly leaned out from the second - floor window to take a look. When they saw the group of fierce - looking people, they were so frightened that they quickly retracted their heads, but then curiously peeked out again.

Uncle Zhong tried to calm himself down, but his voice lacked confidence. "Who are you? [-3uww] How dare you cause trouble on Eight - Master's territory? Do you think you've lived too long?" Uncle Zhong didn't want to keep repeating such clichés, but he had no choice. The little remaining prestige and seniority of Eight - Master were all he could rely on at the moment.

The leader of the group snorted heavily, his face full of disdain. "Eight - Master? What the hell is Eight - Master? After tonight, Eight - Master will be history."

Uncle Zhong's heart skipped a beat. He started to worry about Eight - Master. Then, thinking that Eight - Master had taken more than sixty Green Gang members with him, he felt a bit more at ease, but still mechanically repeated, "Who are you? [-3uww]" as if trying to figure out their background to gain some understanding.

"They're from the Axe Gang. They lured away Eight - Master and the elite members of the Green Gang, then attacked Eight - Master's main base. After that, they plan to ambush and kill Eight - Master and his men on the way. Otherwise, how could it be that they arrived right after Eight - Master and the elites left?" Chu Tian touched his nose and said calmly. "I wonder if I'm right?"

The leader sneered, his eyes sharp as electricity, with a hint of coldness. "You're quite perceptive. But you won't have the chance to know who we are, nor will you see the end of Eight - Master and his men. Tonight, no one in this villa will be spared."

Uncle Zhong suddenly thought of the martial arts skills of Chu Tian and Tian Yangsheng, and his courage grew a bit. "Our Green Gang has no grudges against you. Why are you attacking us?"

The leader seemed impatient and waved his hand. "If you want to know the reason, ask the King of Hell yourself. I don't have time to waste on you. Brothers, kill them all. Remember, leave no one alive."

The words "leave no one alive" were spoken with great bravado, as if he held the power of life and death in the world.

The first group of more than ten people charged towards Chu Tian and Uncle Zhong. The Green Gang disciples beside them, being brave - hearted men, also picked up their weapons, ready to charge at these mysterious people. Suddenly, a figure flashed, and Chu Tian leaped forward. His right hand stretched out strangely. He took a deep breath, and with a flick of the Minghong Saber in his hand, a curved blade - light slashed out. This was both an attacking move and a defensive one. He advanced with the saber, a saber - technique he had learned from Taijiquan. It combined hardness with softness, and his body movement was elegant while the saber - technique was fierce, which was quite astonishing.

Chu Tian's entire figure was hidden within the light of his saber. The saber and his body became one, forming a spherical saber - light. All directions, up, down, left, and right, could either cut or knock people away, making opponents不敢 get close to him. Meanwhile, he could freely wound and approach his opponents. In just a short moment of contact with these dozen or so people, countless screams rang out. The leader thought that Chu Tian had been hacked into pieces. He looked up with a smile, only to see Chu Tian still standing in front of him, smiling. On the ground, however, lay more than a dozen of his men. All the hands holding knives had been cut off, and they were wailing in pain.

The Minghong Saber in Chu Tian's hand showed its plain and unadorned nature under the light. Blood dripped slowly from the tip of the saber onto the grass, nourishing its growth.

Even Uncle Zhong and the Green Gang brothers felt a bit不忍 at this tragic scene. Chu Tian had no choice. He could only end the battle quickly to gain time. Otherwise, Haizi and the others, as well as Eight - Master, would be in more danger. Since he didn't like killing, he could only severely wound his opponents. The leader was extremely shocked. He couldn't believe it as he looked at his more than a dozen elite men and then at Chu Tian. It was as if Chu Tian was not a human but a devil. He had taken down more than a dozen of his men in one round. Could such a skill be that of a human?

The leader gritted his teeth and was about to lead all his remaining brothers to charge forward. Suddenly, more than a dozen screams came from behind him. He quickly turned around and saw another dozen or so of his men lying on the ground. At the entrance, a person exuding a dangerous aura stood there, holding a pitch - black knife. His face was expressionless, but one could feel the terrifying killing intent hidden within. In an instant of his every move, he could take a life. The leader and his remaining dozen or so brothers began to feel a bit afraid. They really regretted choosing to sneak - attack Eight - Master's villa. They never expected that the old Eight - Master would have two such powerful masters. They wondered if they could even survive tonight.

One of the leader's subordinates, his face full of panic, said in a trembling voice, "Team leader, let's retreat. If we continue fighting, we're surely going to die."

The leader's expression was also uncertain. He wanted to retreat too, but there was no way out now. In front was a devil, and behind was a soul - reaper. Whichever way they went, it was a dead - end.

Chu Tian saw the leader's expression and knew they were looking for a way out. He hardened his heart and said, "Cut them all down." This was naturally addressed to Tian Yangsheng. Upon hearing Chu Tian's words, Tian Yangsheng charged towards the remaining dozen or so people like a wolf among sheep. The leader quickly led the remaining brothers to resist desperately. However, with fear in their hearts, they were no longer able to fight effectively. After a few rounds, six more brothers fell. The remaining few, except the leader, all dropped their samurai swords and knelt down to beg for mercy.

In an instant, the whole situation had been reversed. The once - arrogant leader suddenly found himself alone. The knife in his hand was trembling, and he could barely hold it. Gritting his teeth, he charged towards Chu Tian. Chu Tian neither dodged nor evaded. When the leader was within one meter of him, close enough to see the tip of the samurai sword, Chu Tian slashed diagonally with the Minghong Saber. With a "咔嚓" sound, the leader's samurai sword broke into two pieces. The Minghong Saber then wrapped around the leader's arm. With a gentle twist, the arm was immediately bleeding profusely, and the leader wailed in pain.

Chu Tian kicked the leader over with a backhand kick. The leader rolled several times, his face ashen, and lay on the ground. Tian Yangsheng walked up, stepped on the leader's chest, and raised his pitch - black knife, ready to strike. The leader closed his eyes in horror, thinking that he was probably going to die tonight.

Suddenly, his face was patted by the cold back of the knife. The leader opened his eyes and was surprised to find that his head was still there. Looking up, he saw Chu Tian's handsome and charming smile in front of him. Chu Tian said calmly, "Now I'm going to ask you some questions. If you dare to lie, I won't kill you. I'll throw you into the pen to feed the Tibetan mastiffs. You can imagine right now what it's like to be torn apart by the Tibetan mastiffs."

The leader naturally knew how miserable it would be to be torn apart by the sharp teeth of the Tibetan mastiffs. He never expected that this young man in front of him not only had terrifying martial arts skills but also extremely cruel methods.

Just then, several cars drove into the entrance. Chu Tian and Uncle Zhong were slightly startled. Could the enemy have reinforcements? To their surprise, it was the Green Gang members who had left not long ago. Seeing the blood all over the ground at the villa entrance, they were shocked and surrounded Uncle Zhong to ask what had happened. Uncle Zhong was even more surprised to see them come back and anxiously asked, "Where's Eight - Master? Weren't you following Eight - Master to Shuixiehuadu?"

A Green Gang member replied with great respect, "Uncle Zhong, Eight - Master is fine. He's on his way there. Eight - Master secretly asked me to bring twenty brothers back to Yunshui Mountain Residence. He was worried that something might happen here. By the way, Uncle Zhong, what happened here?"

Uncle Zhong sighed. Eight - Master was really thoughtful. But even he didn't expect so many enemies to come. If it weren't for Chu Tian and Tian Yangsheng, Yunshui Mountain Residence would really have been wiped out tonight. Uncle Zhong shook his head and said to the newly - returned Green Gang disciples, "Just some small - time thugs trying to attack. We've already subdued them."

Seeing that time was running out, Chu Tian needed to deal with things quickly. He smiled and said to Uncle Zhong, "Uncle Zhong, find a place to lock up these living people. If anyone dares to move, chop them down. Also, take someone who can talk to the back garden for questioning." Then he turned to the leader and said, "Remember, don't lie."

The look in Chu Tian's eyes made the leader feel cold all over. He couldn't help but nod.

Uncle Zhong naturally knew that Chu Tian wanted to question them separately for better results. He nodded, waved his hand, and told more than twenty Green Gang members to throw all the injured into the basement. Then he grabbed a person who wasn't too badly injured and took him to the back garden for questioning.

Chu Tian walked around the leader a few times, then suddenly stopped and asked, "Name."

The leader replied without hesitation, "Gan Changshan."

Chu Tian nodded and said, "How many groups did you send to raid the main bases of various gangs in Shanghai? And where exactly?"

Gan Changshan looked at Chu Tian in surprise. How did Chu Tian know that they were going to attack the main base of the Jiang Gang tonight and send several groups to launch sneak - attacks? This young man seemed to know a lot. He didn't dare to hide anything and said, "We sent six groups, respectively to the Tianxiong Gang, the Badao Association, the Tianlang Cult, and to attack Eight - Master's main base. There are also two groups lying in ambush at strategic points in Shuixiehuadu."

Chu Tian thought for a moment, then smiled, understandingly. "Who sent you?"

Out of habit, Gan Changshan thought of the unified confession before departure and blurted out without thinking, "The deputy leader of the Jiang Gang."

Chu Tian waved his hand, and Tian Yangsheng's knife sliced through his fingers. Two fingers were immediately cut off. Chu Tian said coldly, "Think about the logic carefully."

In extreme pain, Gan Changshan thought back and was shocked. This young man was really meticulous. He first asked about the number of groups and their destinations for the sneak - attacks, thus determining the scope of his identity. Then he asked who had ordered him. The questions were closely linked, leaving no room for evasion. So, he said, "I'm the team leader of the Secret Killing Hall of the Axe Gang. The Secret Killing Hall has more than two hundred elites. Usually, we don't participate in regular underworld activities. We're specially trained in secret. Tonight, each group of thirty - eight people was sent to sneak - attack the main bases of various gangs. There are also two groups lying in ambush at strategic points in Shuixiehuadu. After the major gangs and the Jiang Gang have fought to the death and the survivors return in a miserable state, we'll use silenced pistols to shoot and kill those gang leaders and the elites on the territory of Shuixiehuadu. Even if we can't wipe them all out, the entire underworld will be in chaos and will kill each other. In this way, the Axe Gang can unify Shanghai's underworld and end the confrontation with the Jiang Gang."

Chu Tian was quite satisfied. He believed that what Gan Changshan said was probably the truth. He decided to confirm all the questions again. "So, it was you who provoked the hatred of various gangs towards the Jiang Gang?"

Gan Changshan nodded and said truthfully, "Yes."

Knowing that there was no more time to ask about the details, Chu Tian simply said, "Is there anything else important you haven't told us? Remember, if something happens to us, it'll be your end. If we're safe, we'll keep you alive."

Gan Changshan knew that Chu Tian wasn't bluffing. Chu Tian could take his life at any time. After thinking carefully for a while, he said urgently, "Yes. According to the plan, after we complete the mission, we'll immediately rush to support the two pistol - equipped groups. The communication around Shuixiehuadu has been completely cut off. Also, only going up the mountain is allowed. If you want to go down the mountain safely, you must flash your car lights three long and two short, and then you'll have one minute of safety. After that, the two groups will start shooting. That one minute is actually reserved for the Axe Gang to go down the mountain."

Chu Tian knew that this guy had completely betrayed the Axe Gang. He would tell the truth about anything else. It was not too late to ask more questions in the car. At this moment, Uncle Zhong also walked over. Before he could speak, Chu Tian said, "Uncle Zhong, we can talk about everything in the car. Now, let's lead the brothers to meet Eight - Master. If Uncle Zhong trusts me, can I take full command of these dozens of Green Gang brothers?"

Uncle Zhong now fully trusted Chu Tian. He nodded and said respectfully, "Everything is at your command, Young Master."

Chu Tian was slightly taken aback. Then he remembered his identity as Eight - Master's adopted son. This was the first time Uncle Zhong had addressed him like this. He nodded and said, "Take Sirou and Nianrou with us. The villa isn't safe."

This night was destined to be a bit restless.
