Chapter 124: Establishing Prestige

"Slow down." Chu Tian uttered a word that shocked everyone. Then, with his usual smile, he said calmly, "Didn't Gang Leader Ye say that we should fight one by one to carry out the massacre? Why are you so impatient?"

 

Chu Tian didn't expect Ye Sanxiao to be so cunning. He had completely pushed away all responsibility for his own conspiracy without changing his expression and redirected the attention of the other gangs back to the Jiang Bang. At the moment, he could only reveal his identity as a member of the Jiang Bang and take things one step at a time, hoping that Tian Yangsheng could complete the task. Chu Tian had also thought about bringing up Gan Changshan earlier, but when he thought of Ye Sanxiao's cunning smile, if he wasn't careful, Ye Sanxiao might launch an attack in advance, making Tian Yangsheng's task more difficult. If that group of the pistol team wasn't eliminated, Chu Tian would always feel as if there was a lump in his throat and couldn't act freely.

 

Ye Sanxiao looked around at the members of the Jiang Bang. Since there was no one left who could fight anymore, he simply smiled and said, "I, Ye Sanxiao, always keep my word. I did say we should fight one by one, and everyone here can testify. But is there anyone in the Jiang Bang who can still fight now?"

 

The members of the other gangs looked at Guangzi, who was barely standing, and couldn't help but shake their heads. They secretly sighed. This guy was really causing trouble. Even Guangzi, the best fighter in the Jiang Bang, was so injured. How could they still fight?

 

"There is still someone." Chu Tian remained as calm as ever, and the words that came out of his mouth were always so shocking.

 

"Who?" Everyone asked Chu Tian in unison.

 

Chu Tian nodded seriously, walked to the front of the Jiang Bang members, took off his mask, smiled slightly, and turned around to say to the members of the other gangs, "That person is the third - in - command of the Jiang Bang, Chu Tian."

 

As soon as these words were spoken, the members of the other gangs were in an uproar and extremely shocked.

 

"What? You're the third - in - command of the Jiang Bang?" Ye Sanxiao and the others were all stunned. This guy was not only a member of the Green Gang but also the third - in - command of the Jiang Bang. What on earth was he up to?

 

Master Ba, Uncle Zhong, and the Xiao sisters were also extremely shocked. Although Master Ba and Uncle Zhong knew that Chu Tian had an unknown background, extraordinary courage, and excellent martial arts skills, they didn't expect that Chu Tian was actually the third - in - command of the Jiang Bang. But why had they never heard his name in Shanghai's underworld? If Chu Tian was the third - in - command of the Jiang Bang, even if they didn't know about it, how could Ye Sanxiao, who kept a close eye on the Jiang Bang every day, not know either?

 

Haizi recognized Chu Tian at this moment and laughed heartily. "Third brother, you're here. But you shouldn't have come at this time." The implication was that the Jiang Bang was now unable to fight any longer. How could Chu Tian, alone, turn the tide?

 

Chu Tian smiled slightly. His smile was extremely brilliant and resolute. "We're brothers. We can't be born on the same day, month, and year, but we hope to die on the same day, month, and year."

 

Haizi and Guangzi supported each other and stood up. They stretched out their right hands, and Chu Tian also stretched out his right hand. There was a hint of solemnity in their actions. "Brothers, we can't be born on the same day, month, and year, but we hope to die on the same day, month, and year."

 

Ye Sanxiao and the others glanced at Chu Tian a few times. This young man seemed to have extraordinary courage and decent martial arts skills. But revealing his identity as the third - in - command of the Jiang Bang at this time seemed very unwise. The Jiang Bang was on the verge of destruction. How could his small and weak body withstand the successive attacks of so many people?

 

However, the members of the other gangs were deeply moved by the brotherhood among Chu Tian and the others. They sincerely admired Chu Tian. After all, he dared to step forward in the face of the Jiang Bang's crisis. Knowing that he was like a moth flying into a fire, he still did it. This kind of courage and passion were not something that everyone could possess.

 

Deng Chao and his subordinates from the Tianlang Sect were all men of integrity. Seeing Chu Tian's loyalty and passion, they couldn't help but shout in unison, "The third - in - command is a real man!"

 

Guan Dongdao from the Ba Dao Association also raised his thumb and praised, "Brother Chu, if you manage to survive tonight, I, Guan Dongdao, will definitely have a big drink and a hearty meal with you and get drunk together."

 

The members of the Tianxiong Gang also couldn't help but shout along with Huang Tianxiong, "Third - in - command, if you die here tonight, our Tianxiong Gang will definitely give you a proper burial, and the whole gang will attend your funeral."

 

In this world, as long as people are all passionate men and act with integrity, whether they are friends or opponents, they will respect you from the bottom of their hearts. Even if you die by someone else's sword or they die by your knife, there won't be a trace of resentment in their eyes, only a sense of satisfaction.

 

Master Ba and Uncle Zhong also secretly praised in their hearts. Chu Tian was truly a man of integrity.

 

Ye Sanxiao, however, was full of disdain. What was the point of acting like a hero when one was about to die? It was really unwise. Without life, what else mattered? Ye Sanxiao wanted to see some fear and unease on Chu Tian's face, but he found nothing. Chu Tian's expression remained as calm as ever, as if he could really turn the tide and save the Jiang Bang from the depths of trouble.

 

Ye Sanxiao's muscles twitched a few times. He said coldly, "Are you really the third - in - command of the Jiang Bang? Aren't you a disciple of the Green Gang? Has Master Ba already joined the Jiang Bang?"

 

The people from the Tianxiong Gang, the Tianlang Sect, and the Ba Dao Association didn't comment. Damn it, with Master Ba's prestige in the underworld, how could he possibly join the Jiang Bang? Besides, if Master Ba had joined the Jiang Bang, would the Green Gang have just watched the Jiang Bang be massacred?

 

Chu Tian's expression didn't change. He said calmly, "I'm Master Ba's adopted son and also the third - in - command of the Jiang Bang, but I have nothing to do with the Green Gang. Gang Leader Ye, there's no need to bring Master Ba into this."

 

Chu Tian smiled slightly at Master Ba and the others as an apology, and then said to Ye Sanxiao, "Tonight, as the third - in - command of the Jiang Bang, I'm standing in front of you all. Since Gang Leader Ye always keeps his word, if you want to massacre the brothers of the Jiang Bang, you'll have to step over my dead body first." Chu Tian's words seemed to have a magical power, which invigorated Haizi and the others. They all secretly thought that Chu Tian was indeed a passionate brother, and the sworn brotherhood with him was the best choice in their lives.

 

Ye Sanxiao sneered a few times, his face full of contempt. "Since you want to meddle in this, you're going against all the gangs? Since you're seeking death on your own initiative, we can kill you, and I believe the wise Master Ba won't blame us."

 

Master Ba wasn't angry. He smiled non - committally. How could Chu Tian be so easily killed? This guy had extraordinary courage and martial arts skills. Since he dared to openly reveal his identity, he must have something to rely on. If he was just impulsive and brave, in this world, ten Chu Tians would probably have died on the streets already.

 

Chu Tian didn't even look at Ye Sanxiao. He said calmly, "Then let me first face the experts of the Axe Gang."

 

Ye Sanxiao originally wanted the people from the other gangs to face Chu Tian first to wear down his fighting strength. He didn't expect that as soon as Chu Tian opened his mouth, he wanted to face the experts of the Axe Gang. Although he was unhappy, he couldn't show weakness in front of the other gangs. So, he slightly nodded to the side, and a chubby middle - aged man stepped forward, exuding an air of mystery and unfathomability.

 

"I'm Tu Longhu. I'm here to learn a few moves from you." The chubby middle - aged man moved his steps. Although his body was large and his walking was slow, the trembling flesh on his body made people feel his flexibility and agility.

 

Chu Tian could sense Tu Longhu's imposing manner. He knew that this chubby middle - aged man in front of him was probably as fierce as his name suggested. He didn't dare to underestimate him and nodded. "My humble name is Chu Tian."

 

Tu Longhu nodded. He didn't attack immediately but stared at Chu Tian quietly. His hands hung down, and his eyes were like sharp swords, scanning Chu Tian from head to toe. It seemed that as soon as there was the slightest flaw, his chubby hands could instantly transform into deadly palms and deliver a fatal blow to Chu Tian.

 

Chu Tian knew that Tu Longhu was waiting for an opportunity to attack. Even if his expression relaxed or tensed up slightly, Tu Longhu would not hesitate to pounce. "Slaying the dragon and the tiger" required a fatal strike. Chu Tian still had a faint smile on his face, looking calm and composed. He didn't even look at Tu Longhu, who was ready to attack, as if he didn't feel the murderous aura emanating from Tu Longhu.

 

Tu Longhu felt a bit confused. This young man in front of him seemed to be standing casually, but in fact, he was surrounded by a solid defense, making it seem impossible to find a weak point. He was secretly surprised and focused all his attention on Chu Tian, hoping to find a breakthrough.

 

Ye Sanxiao saw that Tu Longhu had been standing there for so long without attacking and became impatient. He shouted, "Tu Longhu, kill him! Can't you deal with a mere kid?" Ye Sanxiao almost blurted out the rest of the words, "Did I pay you two million yuan just for you to stand there?" When fighting with the Jiang Bang earlier, out of self - interest, Ye Sanxiao didn't let these few experts participate. Instead, he let the people from the other gangs fight. Now that he needed them, Tu Longhu seemed to be acting casually.

 

Tu Longhu looked somewhat helpless. He let out a sigh. His chubby hands were immediately filled with strength and became hard. His eyes flashed, and he pounced towards Chu Tian, who was five meters away.
