Chapter 128: Breaking the Alliance

Ye Sanxiao knew that Master Ba always kept his word. Although the Green Gang wasn't a major threat, it still wasn't worth it to fight them desperately. He decided to show some weakness to Master Ba first. Anyway, when going down the mountain, it was likely that few people from the various gangs, including Master Ba's men, would live to see the next day's sun. So, he pretended to put on a stern face and angrily scolded, "Huoyun, you have some nerve! How dare you lay a hand on Master Ba's daughters? You're really tired of living. If I had known you would do such despicable things, I wouldn't have hired you as my helper, and I would have already chopped you in half with an axe. Tell me quickly, who ordered you to do this?"

Brother Huo obviously didn't expect Ye Sanxiao to sell him out like this. He felt extremely resentful. If he said it was Ye Sanxiao who ordered him, Ye Sanxiao definitely wouldn't let him live until tomorrow. If he said he did it on his own, Chu Tian, Master Ba, and the Green Gang definitely wouldn't let him live for another second. Brother Huo was in a very difficult situation.

Ye Sanxiao knew that Brother Huo was in a dilemma and might accidentally expose him. He secretly signaled to his cronies nearby. The cronies immediately understood and slightly raised the axes in their hands, ready to throw them.

"Bang, bang, bang." With a few sounds, several of Ye Sanxiao's cronies instantly fell to the ground.

The cronies of Ye Sanxiao fell to the ground, and their axes also dropped. They were all in pain. Everyone was surprised to see this inexplicable turn of events. Brother Huo's partner, along with a few others, emerged from behind Ye Sanxiao. They turned towards the members of the Axe Gang, approached Brother Huo cautiously while on guard. The machete in Jiezi's hand was extremely sharp, and the glimmer of the blade sent a chill down everyone's spine.

Without looking back, Jiezi said to Brother Huo, "Brother Huo, Ye Sanxiao just tried to have his men kill you. Fortunately, I noticed it in time and kicked them away. Otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous."

After hearing Jiezi's words, Brother Huo knew that Ye Sanxiao had just tried to silence him. His eyes widened in anger as he said, "Ye Sanxiao, you're so despicable and shameless. I took your money, and of course, I did things for you. You had Sister Li give us each a hundred thousand yuan and asked us to rape Master Ba's two daughters and deliberately drop the silver medallion of the Jiang Bang to frame them. I was blinded by money and did such a despicable thing for you, you scoundrel."

When Chu Tian heard the name "Sister Li", he didn't react much. But the leaders of the other gangs were slightly shocked. Sister Li was Ye Sanxiao's adopted daughter. Relying on her beauty, she socialized with both the underworld and the law - abiding world on Ye Sanxiao's behalf. She used her charm to break through many barriers that men couldn't overcome for Ye Sanxiao and was Ye Sanxiao's capable assistant. The leaders of the various gangs had all met her. Now, hearing Brother Huo mention "Sister Li", they couldn't help but believe his words. If Sister Li was involved, it was naturally Ye Sanxiao who was behind it.

Seeing that Brother Huo and the others had admitted that Ye Sanxiao had sent them to target Master Ba's two daughters on the train, Chu Tian didn't immediately settle the score with them. He said, "Brother Huo, you can go. I hope we don't meet again in the future."

When Brother Huo heard that Chu Tian wouldn't trouble him for now, he was overjoyed. He quickly glanced at Master Ba and Ye Sanxiao and then left Shui Xie Hua Du in a hurry with Jiezi and the others.

Chu Tian then smiled apologetically at Master Ba and said, "Father, I made the decision to let them go without permission. I hope you can forgive me."

Master Ba knew that Chu Tian didn't want to face too many enemies tonight and wanted to focus on dealing with Ye Sanxiao. So, he nodded to show his understanding and said, "These petty criminals are not worth worrying about. It's the mastermind who has a vicious heart."

Master Ba's eyes instantly regained their former sharpness. He said coldly to Ye Sanxiao, "Ye Sanxiao, from this moment on, the Green Gang and the Axe Gang are sworn enemies. Green Gang disciples, listen up! The enemies of the Axe Gang are the friends of the Green Gang. Tonight, we, the Green Gang, swear to live and die with the Jiang Bang." As soon as Master Ba's words were spoken, the Green Gang disciples all revealed their weapons and surrounded the members of the Jiang Bang to protect them.

Although the Green Gang disciples didn't have great power, on this "precarious" night, the members of the Jiang Bang seemed to have been injected with a shot of强心针. Their hope of survival was once again ignited.

Deng Chao, the leader of the Tianlang Sect, had already declared neutrality. He had been worried that after the Axe Gang wiped out the Jiang Bang, they would settle accounts with the Tianlang Sect later. Now, seeing that Master Ba had clearly sided with the Jiang Bang, he felt much relieved. So, he shouted again, "Men of the Tianlang Sect, tonight we will not be enemies of the third - in - command or the Jiang Bang." Upon hearing the leader's order and seeing what a passionate man Chu Tian was, the members of the Tianlang Sect all retreated from the front to behind Deng Chao.

The actions of Master Ba and Deng Chao of the Tianlang Sect made the Tianxiong Gang and the Ba Dao Association want to back out. Maybe it was really the Axe Gang that was behind all this. If they were still foolishly shouting to eliminate the Jiang Bang, it would be very unwise, just like being sold by the Axe Gang and still helping them count the money. Moreover, the Jiang Bang now had Chu Tian and more than sixty Green Gang brothers of Master Ba as their helpers, and they had become much stronger and harder to deal with.

Huang Tianxiong, the leader of the Tianxiong Gang, thought for a moment and then spoke, "Gang Leader Ye, the situation is complicated now. The Tianxiong Gang needs to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Before there is conclusive evidence that the Jiang Bang has committed any crimes against our Tianxiong Gang, the Tianxiong Gang will temporarily withdraw from tonight's operation to eliminate the Jiang Bang and remain neutral. I hope Gang Leader Ye can understand." After saying this, he waved his right hand gently. The members of the Tianxiong Gang put away their weapons and retreated to Huang Tianxiong's side with the injured, watching the situation on the field.

Guan Dongdao, the leader of the Ba Dao Association, said directly, "Gang Leader Ye, the Ba Dao Association is the same. We in the Ba Dao Association urgently need to find out if our base was attacked by mysterious people. Before we understand the truth of the matter, the Ba Dao Association will also remain neutral." The members of the Ba Dao Association immediately returned to Guan Dongdao's side. Not having to be enemies with Chu Tian, they felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

With several gangs declaring neutrality in a row, besides the injured members of the Axe Gang, Ye Sanxiao was now left with only more than two hundred of his own elite men. At this moment, with more than sixty Green Gang disciples of Master Ba joining the Jiang Bang, the gap in strength wasn't as悬殊 as before. Moreover, there was Chu Tian, a master who made people take notice. Ye Sanxiao began to lack confidence. In a fierce battle, it was really hard to say who would win or lose. What's more, after a fierce battle, the Axe Gang would definitely be severely weakened, which would only benefit the other gangs and give them a chance to grow in strength.

Although Ye Sanxiao lacked confidence, he couldn't let Chu Tian and the others escape so easily. Moreover, he also wanted to save some face. He forced a few laughs and said, "Although the leaders of the major gangs have withdrawn in disregard of the agreement, I, Ye Sanxiao, am not a coward, nor am I someone who doesn't keep my promise." Then he turned his body and faced Chu Tian, saying, "Does the third - in - command really think that with your own flesh and blood, you can stop the successive attacks of more than two hundred members of my Axe Gang?"

Ye Sanxiao was very vicious. He brought up the promise of the "one - on - one battle" to restrict Chu Tian, making Master Ba and the more than sixty Green Gang disciples useless. Whether the Axe Gang actually launched successive attacks or not, on one hand, the Axe Gang could put pressure on Chu Tian, and on the other hand, they could find an excuse to back down. Chu Tian naturally saw through Ye Sanxiao's viciousness. This guy was indeed extremely cunning and his words were flawless.

"And me." A cold voice came from the door, like the call of a messenger from hell, making everyone feel a chill and fear all over their bodies.

The members of the various gangs looked towards the door. A young man with no expression on his face, holding a black knife stained with blood, was slowly walking towards Chu Tian. He was covered in blood, but there was no sign of any wounds on him.

Chu Tian smiled slightly, but he was overjoyed in his heart. It seemed that Tian Yangsheng had finished his task. In that case, he had no more worries. Chu Tian nodded, his eyes filled with gratitude, and said, "Is it done?"
