Starting with Xingyi Quan, it swept across the chaotic world.

Chapter 23 Using one tiger to devour another

Ping An Fang, the new residence of the Fierce Tiger Gang.

Conquering territory is usually a joyous occasion for any gang, but at this moment, none of the core members of the Fierce Tiger Gang showed any sign of celebration.

"We've already sent people to Anlefang, but they haven't found a single clue!" one of the core members said through gritted teeth.

"I suspect they're not even at Anlefang!" another member chimed in.

The current leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang sat in the main seat, his face extremely gloomy.

The Wild Wolf Gang vanished without a trace in a single day! The key point is that most of their core members are still alive. For them, this is like a thorn stuck in their flesh, which could fester and rot any day now!

But they just couldn't find any trace of each other.

"call out!"

Just as everyone was frowning in worry, the sound of a sharp object slicing through the air and piercing the door attracted everyone's attention.

"Enemy attack?"

Alarm bells rang in everyone's hearts. Only when there was no sound outside did someone push open the door and take down the throwing knife that was nailed to the door panel.

A tattered cloth was hanging from the throwing knife, and there were words on the cloth. Although the words were crooked and crooked, everyone could still make out the writing.

Zhang Tie took the tattered cloth, glanced at it, and his face instantly flashed with a mixture of anger and ecstasy:

"Damn it, that bastard Zhou Yue dares to play dirty tricks on me! Brothers, grab your weapons, that bastard's hiding in the crooked-neck tree compound!"

Regarding the current intelligence, he adopted the attitude of "better safe than sorry." He already had some doubts about Anlefang, so now that someone had provided intelligence, he naturally had to verify it.

Soon, dozens of members of the Fierce Tiger Gang, wielding long knives, filed out and charged toward the Crooked Neck Tree compound like a pack of mad dogs.

Lu Li noticed that there were four martial artists at the Ming Jin level among the crowd!

"No wonder they were able to drive the Wild Wolf Gang to the brink of destruction, and no wonder they weren't afraid of false intelligence..."

Lu Li hid in the shadows of the alley, watching the thugs disappear from sight, before finally changing routes and speeding towards the Crooked Tree compound.

Zhou Yue, the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang, and that Ming Jin martial artist must die!

I demand to see his body!

……

The courtyard with the crooked-necked tree.

The commotion outside startled Zhou Yue, who had just fallen asleep. When he got up to check, he saw flames bursting into flames, slightly illuminating the sky.

At that moment, the door was kicked open!

The men who filed in clashed with the Wild Wolf Gang members inside the courtyard, but outnumbered and outgunned, the few remaining gang members fell like wheat harvested in autumn.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yue kept recalling his third brother, who had been burned to a crisp.

"Who! Who sold me out!" Zhou Yue's face gradually turned ferocious.

Beside him, the thug with a pockmarked face also abandoned his usual fawning manner, speaking only with fear:

"Boss, what do we do! Save us!"

"save?"

"You think you're worthy of my life to save you!"

With bloodshot eyes, Zhou Yue broke through the back window without hesitation, jumped over the wall behind him, and disappeared from the sight of the gang members in the courtyard.

I can't die!

I must live, I must live!

Just as Zhou Yue climbed over the courtyard wall, a figure that filled him with despair emerged from the narrow alley.

"Zhang Tie!" Zhou Yue gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Damn it...you son of a bitch, you're really good at dodging...try dodging one more time and see what happens!"

Without much hesitation, Zhang Tie grabbed his knife and slashed at him.

……

Zhou Yue mustered his last bit of strength to break through the encirclement, running wildly like a beast driven to the brink of despair.

Using his familiarity with the terrain and his use of the surrounding obstacles, and taking advantage of the darkness of night, he finally managed to shake off a large group of pursuers.

"Cough cough..."

Zhou Yue coughed up blood repeatedly; he had just been struck in the chest by a powerful force.

But none of that is the most deadly thing; the most deadly thing comes from the back.

There was another hideous and terrifying wound on his back, which Zhang Tie had cut long, like a slanted shadow under the moonlight.

"I can't die..."

As long as I survive today, I will have my day of revenge.

Zhou Yue bit his tongue, which brought him back to a state of clarity.

Gradually, his pace slowed down, and each step became incredibly difficult.

He felt very tired and wanted to rest.

Suddenly, a dark figure appeared at the alleyway ahead. Just as Zhou Yue was awakened, a huge fist was already aimed straight at his face!

"Thump"

Zhou Yue was sent flying backward and crashed to the ground.

He struggled to get up, but found that his exhausted body could no longer muster even the slightest strength.

"Just a little bit more..." he said unwillingly.

Originally, he planned for his men to go and wipe out Lu Li's entire family the next day, making a commotion to draw away most of the Fierce Tiger Gang's forces and buy himself time to fight for a sliver of hope.

But alas... he was outmaneuvered by a single move.

The struggle gradually subsided, and the moonlight shone down on his pupils, which were gradually losing their luster. He ultimately failed to see the face of the person who had attacked him.

Lu Li warily kicked the other man's groin, then immediately stabbed him in the chest with his knife.

Only after confirming Zhou Yue's death did Lu Li finally breathe a long sigh of relief.

The Wild Wolf Gang is utterly depraved; Lu Li disregards all evil deeds such as loan sharking, bullying men and women, and disregarding human life.

But alas...

"You brought this on yourselves."

He uttered these words and then began to grope Zhou Yue's body, eventually finding a heavy purse and a leather book at his waist.

After Lu Li finished looting the corpse, he quickly disappeared into the night.

Not long after Lu Li left, another figure came running here.

This person is not Zhang Tie from the Fierce Tiger Gang, but Li Mazi, who was just flattering Zhou Yue in the courtyard, hoping that Zhou Yue could turn the tide!

However, the fawning Li Mazi no longer had a trace of fawning on his face at this moment.

Upon seeing Zhou Yue, who lay dead with his eyes wide open, his expression instantly became extremely complex.

Anger, fear, and even... a sense of relief.

"Boss...why did you leave us...I don't want to die..."

Li Mazi's face suddenly turned ferocious, and a ruthless glint appeared in his eyes:

"Damn Zhou Yue, if you're heartless, don't blame me for being unjust!"

"Use your head in exchange for my life!"

Immediately, Li Mazi pulled out a small knife from his waist for self-defense and slashed Zhou Yue's neck fiercely.

……

Before long, the main force of the Fierce Tiger Gang also arrived, following the trail of blood.

Zhang Tie's face was even more gloomy than the night itself.

Despite working together with another person, they were unable to stop the severely injured Zhou Yue!

The duck that was about to be eaten flew away, which was really too embarrassing for him as the gang leader!

Fortunately, I just stabbed that bastard in the back, so he probably can't have gone far.

Just then, Zhang Tie suddenly noticed a dark figure appear in front of him, and everyone's expressions changed, instantly becoming alert.

By the light of the fire, Zhang Tie could see the face of the dark figure clearly; his face was covered with pockmarks.

Li Mazi knelt down in front of the crowd with a "plop," and then raised the human head hidden behind his back.

Everyone stared intently, and were all startled!

The gruesome death, the head covered in blood and mud, was none other than Zhou Yue, who had been so arrogant not long ago!

"Boss, I've already killed Zhou Yue!"

Although he was facing different people, Li Mazi still showed the same obsequious expression on his face.

Li Mazi was seen walking forward on his knees, crawling all the way:

"If you don't abandon me, I will belong to you from now on!"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Tie felt a sense of irony for some reason.

"Did you kill Zhou Yue?" he asked.

"Yes!" Li Mazi nodded vigorously.

"Where are the things?"

"What?" Li Mazi was taken aback.

Just then, the two men who had gone to search the body returned:

"Boss, we couldn't find it!"

Zhang Tie narrowed his eyes and sneered at Li Mazi: "Then it seems this righteous man is someone else entirely..."

His expression gradually darkened, and he turned and left without looking back.

They hadn't taken more than a couple of steps when someone approached and asked, "Boss, what about this Li Mazi...?"

A cruel smile tugged at the corner of Zhang Tie's mouth:

"I hate dogs that bite their owners the most. Why keep them alive for the New Year?"
