Chapter 90: Chaotic Burial Hill

A flash of murderous intent passed through Jiang Cheng's eyes.

These people actually came to ambush me at my own doorstep? It's practically courting death! But killing them right at the door creates too much commotion; even if I later move the bodies myself, it's hard to guarantee the news won't reach the Wild Wolf Gang.

Take them elsewhere! Jiang Cheng's mind shifted abruptly, and he charged toward the group behind him.

Seeing this, those few people rejoiced wildly, especially Qian Yun Kai, who had threatened Jiang Cheng and was beaten publicly, his heart seething with hatred; hearing the boss was about to act, he had been agitated all day.

Bang!

Bang!

The sound of blade striking Iron Staff rang continuously.

The men under Wu Tian, like those under Wei Bao, fight with no method, relying solely on sheer ruthlessness.

Jiang Cheng brandished his Double Staff in front, the defensive water couldn't get in, and seizing the chance, he burst out of the encirclement of three or four people.

What the hell are you guys doing! You've let them all escape!

The few who rushed from behind were instantly incensed.

The few who were blocked wanted to say something but didn't know how to explain.

They actually didn't know what had happened; in the blink of an eye, the other side surged forward.

What are you still standing there for! Hurry up and chase!

After saying that, one of them hurriedly gave chase.

If that kid makes it into the Martial Arts Hall, their efforts tonight will be for nothing.

Chase!

Chase!

The others, as if waking from a dream, swarmed after him.

Wu Tian stood in place, his expression grim.

He hadn't expected that so many people couldn't even keep one person, letting them run away.

"Brother Wu, what should we do? Should we follow?" the remaining Short-haired Man asked.

"Let them chase. If they can't catch him, then don't come back to see me," Wu Tian snorted coldly.

"Don't worry, Brother Wu, the brothers were just careless earlier, letting that kid slip through; we'll definitely catch him later."

The Short-haired Man laughed, then glanced at Jiang Cheng's house beside them, "Brother Wu, shall we go in and take a look? That kid's Grandma is inside; if that doesn't work, we can bind his Grandma and take her away, so we won't fear him not coming after us."

"Alright, let's go in and see."

Wu Tian nodded.

Just go in, sit and wait.

Meanwhile, Jiang Cheng sprinted ahead, a crowd chased behind, shouts and battle cries rose and fell, frightening the households on both sides, who hurriedly blew out their candles, fearing trouble.

"Stop! Don't run!"

"Stop!"

From behind, jeering voices kept coming.

A cold smile appeared on Jiang Cheng's face.

Thus, one person ran, a crowd pursued.

No one knew how long they ran; wherever they went, the surroundings grew increasingly desolate.

Both sides of the alley had many houses, but without doors; inside they were pitch black, some even roofless, with no human voices at all, and a strange odor lingered in the air.

From the sheer number of houses, this place had once been bustling, with many residents, but later the dead died, the movers moved, and gradually few remained.

Now, people call this place Chaotic Burial Hill.

Any corpse, wrapped in a shroud and tossed here, is done.

"Stop! Stop!"

Several of them could barely keep running; their lungs felt as if on fire.

They had feared Jiang Cheng would run onto the street, but instead he ran toward Chaotic Burial Hill.

This made them greatly pleased, feeling Jiang Cheng was panicking and out of formation.

But as they kept running, they realized this kid could really run like hell!

They truly wanted to stop, to stop the chase, but thinking that Brother Wu was probably still there waiting for news, if they returned empty‑handed, given Wu's ruthlessness, they would surely get a bad end.

Suddenly, Jiang Cheng stopped.

The few, as if relieved, stopped as well; some leaned against the wall, others propped their thighs with their arms, panting nonstop.

"Kid, you finally aren't running?" the leading one, forcing a stance, said: "Behave a bit, obediently come back with us; your Grandma is still at home, right? Guess how she is now?"

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Cheng lunged forward in a single stride, striking his head with a staff.

Bang!

A muffled thud.

The cold smile on his face hadn't faded when his eyes widened, and he fell to the ground limp.

!!!

The remaining few were dumbfounded.

First, they hadn't expected that after such a long run, Jiang Cheng still had strength.

Second, they were even more surprised that a Roasted Sweet Potato vendor could kill without any hesitation!

A series of impact sounds rang out.

These people were never Jiang Cheng's opponents.

Let alone that each, exhausted and at the end of their strength, was struck on the head in an instant and collapsed.

"No, don't kill me."

In less than half a minute, only the last person remained.

Qian Yun Kai knelt on the ground, pleading.

"Do you know? This all didn't have to happen."

Jiang Cheng looked at him.

Qian Yun Kai was completely stunned.

It seems, indeed.

If that day he had returned the Membership Card after receiving it, without any ulterior thoughts, the later beating by the boss wouldn't have occurred.

Now, he wouldn't be kneeling here, desperately begging for mercy.

"Brother Jiang, Jiang, I was wrong, I truly realize my mistake."

Qian Yun Kai looked at Jiang Cheng, repeatedly bowing, "Please, give me another chance. As long as you don't kill me, I'm willing to be your ox and horse. Please, give me a chance."

"Heh."

Jiang Cheng swung his staff upward.

He wouldn't be merciful, leaving any trouble.

He finished off the seven or eight corpses on the ground one by one, didn't have time to search them, because he needed to rush back and deal with the remaining two.

If searching delayed him enough for those two to escape, it would become troublesome.

After tossing all the corpses into the houses on both sides, Jiang Cheng hurried home.

…

Inside the house.

Wu Tian and his companion lit the candles on the table, and did not see Jiang Cheng's Grandma; instead they saw many boxes.

"Didn't they say he has a Grandma?"

Wu Tian's eyes turned cold as he looked at the buzz‑cut man.

It had been ten‑to‑nine certain, yet the person escaped.

Now the house is completely empty.

That means, if they can't catch that kid, tonight's effort is wasted, and there will definitely be no chance later.

"I... don't know either, Brother Tian."

The buzz‑cut man turned pale with fear, "The news we got from Brother Bao a couple of days ago was that this kid has a Grandma. Brother Bao, don't rush; I think that old immortal, having heard the commotion outside, is hiding."

"Then hurry up and find (him)!"

"Yes! Yes! Brother Tian!"

The buzz‑cut man hurriedly began searching.

He first opened the wardrobe, then opened one box after another.

In the end, he found nothing.

He knelt on the ground, looked under the bed, which was still completely empty.

Not even a ghostly figure was there.
