Chapter 121: The Hero Gathering

The car carrying Chu Tian and the others easily reached the top of the mountain without any obstruction. Chu Tian knew that it was always easier to go up the mountain than to come down. If they turned the car around now, they might end up riddled with bullets halfway down the mountain. Suddenly, Chu Tian saw a mask in the car. He quickly picked it up and put it on his face. Uncle Zhong and the others looked at him curiously. Chu Tian smiled faintly and gave a not - really - a - reason reason, "I have a bit of a cold. I'm afraid of the H1N1 flu."

Uncle Zhong, and the Xiao sisters were half - believing, half - doubting, but they knew that Chu Tian was always hard to figure out, so they didn't ask any more questions.

Chu Tian and the others stopped the car and opened the doors. At the entrance of Shuixiehuadu, there were some gang members guarding. When they saw several more luxury cars approaching, they thought it was reinforcements from the Jiang Gang. With a commotion, they rushed over with axes in hand, their eyes fierce.

Chu Tian finally arrived at Shuixiehuadu. With the mask covering half of his face, he looked somewhat mysterious.

Eight - Master was surprised to see them arrive. There was a question in his eyes, but he still shouted in a low voice, "Impudent! Those are my Green Gang brothers. Don't be rude."

Zhao Dalong was slightly taken aback when he first saw Chu Tian and the others coming up. Had the people he sent out not completed their mission? Then he became happy again. Coming here meant they were also doomed. Let them live a few more days. When Zhao Dalong heard Eight - Master's words, he quickly scolded the people who had rushed over, "You bastards! Those are Eight - Master's brothers and also our Axe Gang brothers. How dare you be rude?"

Zhao Dalong's words obviously had an effect. The people who had surrounded them quickly made way for Chu Tian and the dozen or so people with him.

Chu Tian led the Xiao sisters to Eight - Master's side. There was still a question in Eight - Master's eyes, but he didn't speak. Chu Tian clearly noticed it. He smiled faintly and said in a low voice, "It's not safe at home. It's safer here."

Eight - Master nodded understandingly. He knew what Chu Tian meant and didn't ask any further. Uncle Zhong then introduced to Chu Tian in a low voice, "Today, four of the most powerful and influential gang leaders in Shanghai are gathered here. Only Eight - Master's prestige can make them show some respect, because many of them used to be part of the Green Gang when they first started out." Then he looked around with a somewhat desolate expression, obviously reminiscing about the glorious days of the past. He continued, "Over there in the east is Ye Sanxiao of the Axe Gang. Seated in the west is Huang Tianxiong of the Tianxiong Gang. In the south is Guan Dongdao of the Badao Association. And in the southeast is Deng Chao of the Tianlang Cult."

Uncle Zhong sighed and said regretfully, "Actually, the ones Eight - Master admires the most are Hai Zi and Guang Zi of the Jiang Gang. They are young, capable, and daring to fight. It's a pity that the Jiang Gang, after taking over half of Shanghai, couldn't tolerate other gangs. They even dared to target Eight - Master and the Green Gang. The Jiang Gang is really coming to an end. Even with their six hundred elites, having provoked the anger of all the other gangs, they can't withstand the combined attack of the Shanghai gangs."

Chu Tian looked at those gang leaders who had taken their seats. His expression didn't change much, but he took a few more glances at Ye Sanxiao. This man had a smile that never seemed to fade. Under his two curved eyebrows were a pair of shrewd eyes, but his gaze seemed a bit evasive. He exuded a kind of feminine and sinister aura. The name "Ye Sanxiao" was indeed very fitting for him.

After looking at him a few times, Chu Tian didn't pay any more attention. Now, there were nearly a thousand people standing densely on the field. There were more than a hundred people in the north. Each of them was covered in blood. Some were sitting, some were supporting each other, and their faces all showed a determined look. Upon closer inspection, Chu Tian could tell that they were members of the Jiang Gang. The number of people from the Tianxiong Gang, the Badao Association, the Tianlang Cult, Ye Sanxiao's group, and Eight - Master's group was clearly nearly eight hundred more than that of the Jiang Gang. The difference in strength was really significant. Naturally, everyone was divided into five groups, and these five groups seemed to be surrounding the Jiang Gang. However, Chu Tian could also tell that Ye Sanxiao and the others hadn't gained much of an advantage either. Except for Eight - Master and the Green Gang disciples who came later, the four major gangs had also lost more than two hundred people. Chu Tian could easily imagine how intense the battle had been and how powerful Hai Zi and Guang Zi were.

Chu Tian carefully searched for Hai Zi and Guang Zi. At a glance, he saw Hai Zi standing in the middle of the Jiang Gang members. He was covered in blood. A clear claw mark was visible on his chest, and his left shoulder seemed weak. Judging from the situation, he was probably severely injured and unable to fight anymore, but his eyes still showed unyielding determination and a will to fight to the end.

In the center of the entrance of the Shuixiehuadu villa, two people were fighting. Everyone was focused on watching the battle. When Chu Tian and the others entered, they just took a few glances. Seeing that they were Green Gang disciples of Eight - Master, they didn't pay much attention. Anyway, there were still nearly six hundred people from various gangs who could still fight, and there was also a group of invited experts. Even if Chu Tian and the others weren't Green Gang disciples, they could be killed by these people in an instant.

Chu Tian slowly approached and focused his attention. He saw that both sides in the fight were bare - handed, but the gusts of palm wind were powerful and reached several meters away. Clearly, both of them were masters of equal strength. When Chu Tian saw their faces clearly, one of them turned out to be Guang Zi, who was covered in blood. His fierce aura hadn't diminished because of the large number of opponents. His sharp eyes, shiny bald head, and powerful hands all indicated that he could still fight.

The person fighting with Guang Zi was a big man. He had a round face, big ears, a straight nose, a square mouth, and a full beard on his cheeks. He was eight feet tall and had a waist as wide as ten spans. His muscles were extremely well - developed. When Guang Zi's fist hit him, he just frowned slightly, as if he didn't feel the pain. After several rounds, Guang Zi knew that this guy was probably as tough as copper and iron. Without coming up with a way, it would be very difficult to knock him down. Guang Zi was a bit puzzled. He didn't know where Ye Sanxiao had invited so many experts from. Otherwise, with his and Hai Zi's martial arts skills and more than a hundred elite members of the Jiang Gang, they would have been able to severely wound more than three hundred of the opponents. But now, they had only knocked down two hundred opponents, and the Jiang Gang was already forced into a situation where they couldn't fight back.

Looking at the situation where defeat was almost certain, Hai Zi felt a pang of pain in his heart. He never expected that the powerful Jiang Gang would be destroyed tonight. He never expected that among the six hundred elites of the Jiang Gang, only his trusted brothers would fight to the end. The other uncles and elders of the Jiang Gang had actually watched them die without offering any help, leaving him in a situation of fighting alone. Ye Sanxiao and the others were hateful, and those uncles and elders of the Jiang Gang were even more deserving of death.

Watching Guang Zi and the others fighting, Chu Tian had some doubts in his heart. Why were Ye Sanxiao and the others so leisurely? After the fierce battle, they actually wanted to have one - on - one duels? What kind of trick were Ye Sanxiao and the others playing?

Chu Tian looked at Eight - Master and asked in a low voice, "Why don't we end this quickly?"

Eight - Master was an old hand in the underworld. He knew what Chu Tian was wondering. He smiled faintly and said, "Leader Ye thinks that the Jiang Gang is weak and outnumbered. He wants Hai Zi and Guang Zi to admit defeat willingly. So, the two sides reached an agreement that as long as the Jiang Gang doesn't admit defeat and can still fight, the other gangs can't step forward to massacre them." Then he sighed again and said, "When I arrived, the fierce battle was almost over. Hai Zi and the others were really fierce. With just over a hundred of them, they severely wounded more than two hundred elites of the other gangs. If it weren't for the group of experts brought by Ye Sanxiao, the casualties of the other gangs would probably have been even greater."

Chu Tian glanced at the dozens of people beside Ye Sanxiao. They really didn't look like gang members. They should be the helpers invited by Ye Sanxiao. Among them were actually Brother Huo and a few others. Brother Huo's eyes kept shifting between the fighting scene and the Xiao sisters. Clearly, he still had evil intentions and was still harboring endless fantasies about the Xiao sisters.

Chu Tian asked Eight - Master casually, "Aren't you here to judge, Father?"

Eight - Master shook his head and said meaningfully, "What else can I say?"

Chu Tian nodded. Indeed, Ye Sanxiao and the others had thought everything through. By the time Eight - Master arrived, they had already forced the Jiang Gang into a helpless situation. They could massacre the members of the Jiang Gang at any time. What could Eight - Master say at this time? There was no need to even ask if the people of the Jiang Gang had anything to do with the Xiao sisters. Although the truth was important, it had to be based on strong strength. Otherwise, the more questions you asked, the faster you might die.

Thinking of Ye Sanxiao's proposal for one - on - one duels, Chu Tian felt like laughing. This proposal was purely false compassion, hypocritical, like a wolf in sheep's clothing. No matter how good Guang Zi was at fighting, he couldn't possibly defeat more than six hundred people. The reason Ye Sanxiao proposed it was that he wanted to play a game of cat and mouse. He wanted to buy time for his pistol group and attacking group to make his plan more certain. Otherwise, Hai Zi and Guang Zi would have already been hacked to death by the members of the other gangs.

At this time, the battle on the field had reached a boiling point. Guang Zi took an opportunity and punched the big man in the side of his abdomen. The big man smiled slightly and didn't dodge. He took the opportunity to clamp Guang Zi's right hand with his arm and then punched Guang Zi in the corner of his mouth. Guang Zi couldn't dodge in time and had to take the heavy punch. He took a few steps back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The members of the Axe Gang couldn't help but cheer, "Liu Danong, well done!"

The other gangs also applauded and cheered. It was as if what they were watching wasn't a life - and - death battle but a game. When the leaders of the other gangs saw that Liu Danong could even hit a tough fighter of the Jiang Gang, they were secretly surprised. Ye Sanxiao, they wondered where he had found so many experts. He must have spent a lot of money. No wonder he could control half of Shanghai's underworld. He was really willing to spend money. After tonight, he would probably become the overlord of Shanghai's underworld, and all the other gangs would have to rely on him in the future.

Guang Zi was indeed battle - experienced. Although Liu Danong's heavy punch had made the corner of his mouth bleed, it hadn't completely weakened his fighting ability. Guang Zi turned his neck, looked at Liu Danong disdainfully, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and leaped forward. He threw a left punch, which was fast and fierce, with a whistling sound.

Since Liu Danong had been favored by Ye Sanxiao and became a helper of the Axe Gang, he was naturally no pushover. Seeing Guang Zi's aggressive attack, he quickly took a few steps back and sidestepped Guang Zi's punch. Seeing an opening in Guang Zi's defense, he kicked out. However, this was a trap set by Guang Zi. He retracted his body, hooked Liu Danong's kicking leg with his left hand, hugged Liu Danong's body with his right hand, and then used his head to attack Liu Danong's forehead. Although Liu Danong had a tough body, his forehead wasn't invulnerable. He had never seen such a suicidal fighting style. He wanted to escape, but it was too late. With a "bang" sound, their two heads collided, and blood flowed, but it was impossible to tell whose blood it was.

The moment Guang Zi let go of Liu Danong, he kneed Liu Danong hard in the stomach and then chopped Liu Danong's neck with a punch. Liu Danong took a few steps back and couldn't hold on any longer. He fell to the ground. Guang Zi, with blood all over his head, stood in the middle. The members of the Jiang Gang were happy to see that Guang Zi had won again. They used their remaining strength to clap. Ye Sanxiao's expression didn't change at all. He still had a smile on his face, but Chu Tian clearly saw his facial muscles twitch three times. Ye Sanxiao only said to the people beside him, "Throw Liu Danong down the mountain."

Two people came out from behind Ye Sanxiao, dragged Liu Danong, and threw him down the mountain. They then returned to Ye Sanxiao's side with a calm expression. This act deeply shocked the people present. What Ye Sanxiao had done conveyed a message to them: Those who work for me must do so wholeheartedly. How can they be afraid of death? Those who are no longer useful to me are of no value. Liu Danong's fate was the best proof.

Guang Zi wiped the blood from his head. In fact, his martial arts skills might not necessarily be better than Liu Danong's. It was just that Guang Zi was brave, daring to fight, and even willing to die. His imposing manner completely overwhelmed Liu Danong, so he was able to knock Liu Danong down by chance. Anyway, he had already knocked down the third person sent by Ye Sanxiao, winning some face for the Jiang Gang. Although everyone knew that the final result would surely be the complete annihilation of the Jiang Gang, Guang Zi had also shown them that if they wanted to step over their corpses, they would have to pay with their own lives.

Ye Sanxiao had been using his own people to fight against Guang Zi because he wanted to win the honor of the Axe Gang for defeating Guang Zi and prevent the other gangs from taking the credit and making him lose face. Now, seeing that Guang Zi's physical strength was almost exhausted and that the time was almost right, and that the pistol group and the attacking group should have already rested and been ready, Ye Sanxiao smiled twice and nodded to Zhao Dalong. Zhao Dalong understood and stood up, bowing and saying, "I'm Zhao Dalong, the manager of the Axe Gang. Please give me your guidance."

Although Zhao Dalong had a bright smile, everyone present could feel the insidiousness emanating from him.

Guang Zi completely ignored him. The blood that had flowed out and Liu Danong's blood had already ignited his fighting spirit. Guang Zi suddenly leaped up and chopped down at Zhao Dalong's head. Instead of retreating, Zhao Dalong advanced and took Guang Zi's blow with his shoulder. He then used a grappling technique to grab Guang Zi's left hand and wiped it hard. Guang Zi immediately felt a sharp pain and leaped back. Upon closer inspection, he saw that his wrist was completely black and felt a strange numbness.

Before Guang Zi could react, Zhao Dalong had already rushed forward and punched Guang Zi's left shoulder with a fierce attack. Guang Zi wanted to block it with his left hand, but he found that his left hand couldn't be raised. In that instant, Zhao Dalong's fist had hit Guang Zi's shoulder. Fortunately, Guang Zi had a solid foundation in his lower body. He felt his upper body leaning backward. He quickly stepped on the ground with his right foot and kicked Zhao Dalong with his left foot. He jumped back and used the momentum to leap several meters away. When he landed, he was shocked to see that the blackness on his wrist had spread to the joint.

Guang Zi was knowledgeable and experienced. He was greatly shocked and couldn't help but shout, "Despicable villain! You actually used poison."

Everyone except the members of the Axe Gang was very shocked. Zhao Dalong had actually used poison? This was completely despised in the underworld. Even when the United States attacked Iraq, they didn't use biochemical weapons for fear of being condemned. The members of the other gangs all looked at Zhao Dalong with contempt. Even the members of the Axe Gang and the invited experts felt a bit ashamed.

Zhao Dalong touched his chest where he had been kicked by Guang Zi. It didn't hurt too much. He cleared his throat, still with a bright smile, and bowed to Guang Zi, saying, "I'm really sorry. My boxing skills are just average, so I learned a few tricks of using poison. It's just for survival."

Everyone despised Zhao Dalong even more. He was clearly insidious, but he tried to describe himself as having no choice. Such a person was really not someone to associate with.

Eight - Master gave Zhao Dalong a cold look and then said to Ye Sanxiao, "Leader Ye, although we're in the underworld, there are still rules to follow."

Deng Chao of the Tianlang Cult also looked disdainful and said calmly, "Leader Ye, don't you have any patience left for a person who is about to die?" The Tianlang Gang was always known for its bloodiness and the principle of being open and aboveboard. Seeing Ye Sanxiao and the others' actions, they really couldn't stand it, so they also said these few words.

Ye Sanxiao naturally felt the dissatisfaction of everyone. He forced a few laughs and said, "Of course I understand the rules. But the Jiang Gang has also been ignoring the rules recently, so I'm just giving them a taste of their own medicine. Please don't take it to heart. Besides, the art of using poison is Zhao Dalong's specialty. Should he never use it and keep it hidden forever? Moreover, we're all united against a common enemy now
