Chapter 127: A Glimpse of the Truth

Ye Sanxiao's muscles twitched violently. Everyone knew that he was suppressing his anger. His finger joints cracked loudly. "Lone Sword" left just like that, showing no respect for him as the leader of the Axe Gang. Moreover, he left such a mess for Ye Sanxiao. How could Ye Sanxiao not be annoyed? Ye Sanxiao swept his eyes across the members of all the gangs. Suddenly, he said calmly to Deng Chao of the Tianlang Cult, "Leader Deng, our Axe Gang has exerted so much effort. Now it's your Tianlang Cult's turn to step up and challenge."

Deng Chao of the Tianlang Cult's face changed slightly. He knew that Ye Sanxiao wanted the Tianlang Cult to fight it out with Chu Tian now while he preserved his own strength. Deng Chao wanted to refuse but couldn't find a suitable reason. After all, Ye Sanxiao and the others had sent several elites. Although they were defeated one by one by the Jiang Gang and Chu Tian, Ye Sanxiao had indeed put in a lot of effort. So he nodded and said to a middle - aged man beside him, "Hei Jian, go up and experience the prowess of the third leader of the Jiang Gang."

Deng Chao spoke very skillfully. He just told his subordinate to "experience" and didn't say "eliminate him for me." Hei Jian understood the leader's intention. His appearance in the battle was just for show, and there was no need to go all out. After all, Tu Longhu and "Lone Sword" had already been defeated. It wouldn't be embarrassing for him to go up and not get a good result. The most important thing was not to lose his life.

Hei Jian walked out slowly, nodded slightly to Chu Tian, and said, "I'm Hei Jian. I'm here to learn from the third leader's excellent martial arts skills. I sincerely hope you can teach me."

Chu Tian nodded and smiled faintly. Looking at Hei Jian's hands, which were slender and flexible, he guessed that Hei Jian was someone who used a weapon. So he said calmly, "Then please show your weapon, brother."

Hei Jian was slightly surprised. How did Chu Tian know that he was a weapon user? He immediately paid more attention to Chu Tian. With a subtle flip of his hands, a sharp sword appeared in his hand, shining brightly under the light.

Hei Jian rushed towards Chu Tian like an arrow. The short sword in his hand exuded a cold aura like Hei Jian himself under the light. Seeing the sword edge in Hei Jian's palm slide out steadily, Chu Tian didn't dare to be careless. With a thought, the Minghong Saber instantly appeared in his right hand. Chu Tian held the Minghong Saber tightly and drew a circle in front of his chest, blocking Hei Jian's first wave of attack. Then, following the direction of Hei Jian's withdrawing sword, he directly attacked Hei Jian's lower body, forcing him to defend. However, Hei Jian actually charged towards the blade. The short sword in his hand stabbed directly at the circle formed by Chu Tian's left - hand saber. Chu Tian smiled faintly and exerted a little force. The Minghong Saber stuck to Hei Jian's long sword, and his left hand turned into a palm - like blade to slash at Hei Jian's right hand holding the sword. Unexpectedly, Hei Jian twisted the sword hilt slightly, and the short sword suddenly extended three inches, stabbing directly at Chu Tian's eyes. Chu Tian had to dodge to the left. At this time, Hei Jian pressed the sword hilt again, and the short sword split into two thin swords, swinging towards Chu Tian who had dodged to the left. While defending, Chu Tian smiled bitterly. No wonder he was called Hei Jian. He always attacked people unexpectedly.

When Hei Jian wielded the two thin swords, there was a faint sound like the wind and thunder. With three consecutive sword strikes, he created three large sword flowers the size of a bucket, directly attacking Chu Tian. Chu Tian took a slight step backward and then quickly turned sideways. The machete slashed back, from bottom to top, towards Hei Jian's hand. Hei Jian didn't dare to be negligent. He pinched the sword body horizontally and suddenly made a turn. The two swords merged into one again. He filled the sword with strength and stabbed at the opening in Chu Tian's defense. This time, Chu Tian didn't dodge. When Hei Jian's long sword was in front of him, the machete flew out from behind and hit the tip of the sword. Then the machete in his right hand slashed fiercely at Hei Jian's wrist. Hei Jian quickly withdrew his body. Chu Tian stomped on the ground and leaped into the air, slashing down at Hei Jian. Hei Jian quickly raised his sword to block. Unexpectedly, Chu Tian's strength was astonishing, and the Minghong Saber was an ancient battle sword. Hei Jian's short sword actually broke. Chu Tian's saber continued to slash at Hei Jian with the remaining momentum. Before the saber reached him, the saber wind had already stung Hei Jian's eyes. Just as he was about to lie down backward, Chu Tian retracted the saber and used the momentum to kick Hei Jian in the chest. Hei Jian fell backward. Just as he was about to hit the sharp corner of the villa, Chu Tian leaped forward at an astonishing speed. When Hei Jian's head was only an inch away from the sharp corner, he grabbed Hei Jian's body. Hei Jian was stunned for a moment. Then he turned his head and saw the corner, and he secretly felt grateful.

Chu Tian put Hei Jian down, smiled faintly, and leaped back to the middle of the field. He stood with his saber across his body, exuding an aura of a king.

After getting up, Hei Jian didn't attack again. Instead, he cupped his hands and admitted defeat, saying, "The third leader is indeed an extraordinary master. I, Hei Jian, am truly no match for you. You even saved my life. You are truly benevolent and righteous. I, Hei Jian, am grateful and admire you. I, Hei Jian, swear today: I will never be your enemy for the rest of my life."

As soon as these words were spoken, Deng Chao immediately clapped and praised, "The third leader is truly benevolent and righteous. Since Hei Jian was defeated today, our Tianlang Cult will definitely not cause trouble for the Jiang Gang and the third leader tonight. If the third leader can restrain the disciples of the Jiang Gang from causing trouble in the future, I, Deng Chao of the Tianlang Cult, am willing to have a drink with the third leader and have a good chat."

The faces of the people from other gangs changed slightly. Deng Chao of the Tianlang Cult clearly meant that they would no longer participate in the action of annihilating the Jiang Gang tonight. Cleverly, he took advantage of Hei Jian's defeat and actively showed weakness to avoid continuing to be an enemy of the Jiang Gang.

Ye Sanxiao looked at Deng Chao coldly. He hated Deng Chao so much that he wanted to kill him, but he didn't show any unhappiness on his face. He said, "Since Leader Deng has withdrawn from the action and ignored the previous agreement, don't come crying to other gangs if the Jiang Gang does something to you in the future. The Jiang Gang even did something beastly to Eight - Master's two daughters. What else can't they do? Eight - Master didn't give up on revenge just because his adopted son is the third leader of the Jiang Gang. But you, Leader Deng, took the opportunity to retreat. Don't ask Eight - Master to uphold justice for you if you have trouble in the future. Eight - Master, don't you think so?"

Eight - Master glanced at Ye Sanxiao a few times and said in a calm tone, "I, Eight - Master, am old. I won't uphold justice anymore in the future."

The people from other gangs originally had the intention of retreating when they saw that the Tianlang Cult had withdrawn. Later, when they heard Ye Sanxiao say that the Jiang Gang had even dared to target Eight - Master's daughters, their hearts were stirred again, and they thought it was better to get rid of the Jiang Gang.

At this moment, Chu Tian once again felt Ye Sanxiao's ability to be smooth and tactful in dealing with people. His words were always pointed. Just as he was struggling with how to refute Ye Sanxiao, he suddenly saw Brother Huo and a few others hiding behind Ye Sanxiao. He knew that they had recognized him but thought that he didn't recognize them. So he shouted, "Brother Huo, you did a great job on the train to Eight - Master's daughters."

Brother Huo had been staying beside Ye Sanxiao. When he saw Chu Tian come out, he was slightly surprised. Then he looked around with his eyes for Tian Yangsheng. Because it was Tian Yangsheng who had defeated him that day, not Chu Tian, so he was only afraid of Tian Yangsheng's expressionless face. Unexpectedly, Chu Tian had fought several battles and defeated several masters in a row. He was very shocked. He took the opportunity to hide behind Ye Sanxiao, afraid that Ye Sanxiao would send him out to fight. Although they were used to living on the edge of danger, they also needed to be able to handle this kind of danger. Now that Chu Tian was stronger than Tian Yangsheng, he naturally wanted to avoid the fight if possible.

Brother Huo always thought that Chu Tian wouldn't recognize his face because he didn't tear off their masks on the train. When he was secretly looking at the Xiao sisters, he suddenly heard Chu Tian's shout. He instinctively replied, "I didn't do anything on the train." Then he realized that he had slipped up and corrected himself, "No, no, I didn't even get on the train."

The eyes of Eight - Master, the members of the Green Gang, and the members of other gangs all turned to Brother Huo. After all, Eight - Master had a reputation in the underworld, and everyone had heard to some extent about the incident that Eight - Master's daughters had almost been harmed. They originally thought it was the people from the Jiang Gang who had done it. Now, when they suddenly heard Chu Tian questioning the helper beside Ye Sanxiao, they were not fools. Seeing Brother Huo changing his words repeatedly, they knew that he must be involved in the matter, and they all stared at Brother Huo.

Brother Huo took a deep breath. Seeing Ye Sanxiao nodding slightly, he knew that he couldn't escape this. He had to go out and explain, and he also had to fight a battle. So he moved forward and stood in front of Chu Tian, saying, "Third leader, I don't know where you heard my name. I am an upright and honest person in the underworld. When have I ever done something despicable? When did I get on the train? When did I harm Eight - Master's daughters? Don't think that just because you are strong in martial arts, you can slander others."

Chu Tian smiled calmly, looking very friendly. Taking advantage of Brother Huo relaxing his expression, he suddenly shouted, "Then why did you drop the silver token of the Tianlang Cult on the train? Do you want to frame the Tianlang Cult?"

First, Brother Huo saw Chu Tian's smile and felt a little relieved. Then, when he heard Chu Tian's words, his heart tightened. He blurted out involuntarily, "When did I drop the token of the Tianlang Cult? That's the token of the Jiang Gang, and there are characters engraved on it."

As soon as he said this, Brother Huo immediately realized that he had said something wrong and was annoyed at Chu Tian's cunning.

Chu Tian looked at Brother Huo with a smile in his eyes. The members of all the gangs and Eight - Master glared at Brother Huo. It was indeed Brother Huo who had harmed Eight - Master's daughters on the train. Although they were all in the underworld, as Eight - Master said, there were still rules. They hated those who secretly targeted women the most. If Brother Huo didn't have Ye Sanxiao backing him up, everyone would probably have rushed forward and killed him with knives and clubs. Then, thinking of the relationship between Brother Huo and Ye Sanxiao, they couldn't help but think of what Chu Tian had said before. Their hearts tightened. Could it be that Ye Sanxiao had really attacked their bases? Could it be that Ye Sanxiao had framed the Jiang Gang for all the bloodshed in the underworld?

Ye Sanxiao was also very angry. This Brother Huo claimed to be a killer, but he lost his composure and blurted out the truth when provoked by Chu Tian. He should have never listened to his subordinates and invited this so - called group of killers to help. Then he was also shocked by Chu Tian's extraordinary intelligence. This kid must be eliminated tonight. He was already so remarkable at such a young age. Wouldn't the world be his in the future?

Eight - Master was finally angry. He shouted, "Ye Sanxiao, you must give me an explanation. Otherwise, although the more than eighty members of the Green Gang are not enough to fight against the Axe Gang, we will definitely fight to the last man."
