Chapter 83

He had long coveted the position of leader of the Zhongxinyi.

For this, he even feigned the persona of a playboy in front of Lian Lin Haolong,

while secretly laying out plans that would eventually lead to the total collapse of the entire Zhongxinyi.

But it was at this moment that the system’s mechanical voice rang out in Chu Tian’s mind once again:

【Ding! Detected that Lian Lian Haodong of the Zhongxinyi is preparing to take advantage of the situation to kill the host.】

【Mission issued: Defeat the Zhongxinyi.】

【Mission reward: God-tier cultivation technique, Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon.】

Seeing this, Chu Tian was instantly ecstatic!

A god-tier cultivation technique—damn, that sounds incredibly powerful.

And it’s the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon, something Chu Tian had heard of in his past life as being extremely legendary!

He absolutely had to get this!!!

Without hesitation, Chu Tian’s eyes narrowed, and he shouted at the crowd with a grave expression:

“Brothers, the Wo Wo Liansheng wants to fight us, and now the Zhongxinyi are joining in the fun—then let’s fight!”

“Fight!”

“Fight!”

“Fight!!!”

Hearing this, the many underlings began to shout in unison,

their voices so loud it felt as if they would overturn the sky.

Chu Tian raised his hand, and the crowd finally quieted down.

“Now, all of you take a good rest and conserve your energy. When the Zhongxinyi people arrive, we’ll have a proper fight with them!!!”

After all, Chu Tian’s underlings had just been through a major battle. Although there weren’t many casualties,

they had been fighting a larger force, so they were all more or less exhausted.

According to the intelligence from that underling earlier, the Zhongxinyi people wouldn’t arrive for another ten minutes.

It wasn’t much time, but every bit of recovery counted.

Hearing this, the crowd immediately began to rest where they stood.

Some of them were already rubbing their fists and palms, getting back into the zone.

……

Meanwhile,

at a bustling intersection,

while the traffic light on the opposite side of the crosswalk was still red,

Lian Lian Haodong, wearing a flashy white suit and black sunglasses, walked straight across with A Wu.

At the same time, he stylishly extended his right hand, signaling the oncoming vehicles to stop.

A white sedan that was about to drive through was forced to come to a halt.

The driver rolled down the window, intending to curse at Lian Lian Haodong and A Wu,

but just then,

a large group of fierce-looking men followed right behind Lian Lian Haodong.

These men were holding mountain-chopping blades or baseball bats, and their bodies were covered in dragon and tiger tattoos—they were clearly street thugs.

The person inside the white sedan immediately shrank back in fear.

Pedestrians nearby also scattered to avoid them.

To the citizens of Xiangjiang, street thugs were a loathsome existence,

and no one dared to provoke them.

Because there were four or five hundred people behind Lian Lian Haodong, it took a full five minutes for all the Zhongxinyi members to cross the intersection.

The consequence was that traffic at this intersection was completely paralyzed.

“Brother Dong, are we really not going to tell Brother Long?”

At this moment, A Wu, walking at the very front, asked Lian Lian Haodong.

“Tell him what? That we’re going to fight? What’s there to tell? Doesn’t this happen all the time?”

Lian Lian Haodong, projecting the persona of a playboy, said this with an arrogant and domineering air.

A Wu’s face turned troubled as he said:

“But this time is different. We’re going to fight Chu Tian of the We Dongxing, and Chu Tian is at the height of his power right now!”

“What are you afraid of! Didn’t we get word earlier that Big D of the Wo Wo Liansheng took his men to fight Chu Tian?

We’re just seizing this opportunity to be the fisherman who benefits while the snipe and the clam fight!!!”

Lian Lian Haodong said as if it were only natural. Although he was a playboy, he wasn’t stupid; he wouldn’t go head-to-head with the powerful Chu Tian.

Just as Lian Lian Haodong finished speaking, a lean man hurried to his side and reported respectfully:

“Brother Dong, Chu Tian and Big D are done fighting!!!”

“Oh? Who won?”

Lian Lian Haodong asked with curiosity.

“Chu Tian won, and Big D of the Wo Wo Liansheng was hacked to death in public by Chu Tian’s men!”

The lean man replied immediately.

“Awesome, he’s worthy of being the man who conquered the entire Dapu district in a single day!!!”

Lian Lian Haodong praised him after hearing this, then added:

“But now is our best opportunity. Chu Tian fought the Wo Wo Liansheng,

and even though he won, they must have lost a lot of men.

Notify the brothers, pick up the pace, we’re going to take down Handsome Tian!!!”

“Yes!” the lean underling agreed immediately and headed toward the back of the group.

At this point, A Wu stepped forward again, worriedly saying:

“Didn’t they say earlier that Chu Tian only had three hundred men, and Big D of the Wo Wo Liansheng brought five hundred?

Now that Chu Tian has won, it proves his men are very fierce.

If we go now with only four or five hundred, can we really take down Chu Tian???”

“What are you afraid of? It’s precisely because he fought five hundred men with three hundred that he must have suffered heavy losses.

We can take this chance to finish him off even more easily!”

Lian Lian Haodong frowned, his expression showing impatience.

“But this is Chu Tian’s territory; he’s bound to have reinforcements!”

A Wu remained deeply concerned and did not share Lian Lian Haodong’s optimism.

Hearing this, Lian Lian Haodong became angry and said unhappily:

“A Wu, if you don’t want to go, then I’ll go alone. You can get lost and go back. Once I’ve taken the Dapu district, don’t you dare try to get a piece of the action!!!”

Lian Lian Haodong had long been coveting the Dapu district.

It wasn’t that the Dapu district was particularly wealthy;

he just wanted a territory of his own.

Lian Lian Haodong was still young and had no intention of seizing the leadership from Lian Lin Haolong.

As the younger brother of Zhongxinyi leader Lian Lin Haolong,

he had actually lived in Lian Lin Haolong’s shadow his entire life.

Therefore, he really just wanted to do something to prove himself.

That was why, after Scarface Qiang was killed by Chu Tian and their Zhongxinyi forces were driven out of the Dapu district by Chu Tian, he had secretly sent men to keep watch.

He was looking for a chance to finish off Chu Tian, occupy the Dapu district, and make his name ring out across the entire underworld,

instead of everyone seeing him and only saying he was Lian Lin Haolong’s brother.

Now that he had encountered such a perfect opportunity,

Lian Lian Haodong certainly wouldn’t let it slip by!

Hearing this, A Wu stopped talking.

Lian Lin Haolong had told him to protect Lian Lian Haodong, so he couldn’t let Lian Lian Haodong go to attack Chu Tian alone.

Otherwise, if something happened to Lian Lian Haodong, he wouldn’t be able to answer to Lian Lin Haolong.
