These wounds on my body are thanks to his poisonous claws.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Feiyang not only had four blood holes on each arm but also four claw marks that had torn through his skin, and the flesh inside had also been clawed out, almost reaching the bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he wasn't hit in a vital spot, the injury was also very heavy at the skin and flesh level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn't be able to fight for more than half a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this was calculated according to the normal wound healing speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll go solve him tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mu spoke calmly. \"Since the Green Snake Gang has started retaliation, they won't just ambush once.

he asked Chen Mu where the money came from, and Chen Mu fobbed him off by saying it was given by his master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, the plaster had already been bought and couldn't be returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waited until night fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mu changed into night-traveling clothes, brought a few pieces of equipment, and rushed to the Green Snake Gang’s territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He went to the street Xu Chong was responsible for first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arriving, Chen Mu grabbed a Green Snake Gang member, asked about Xu Chong’s residence and current whereabouts, and quickly rushed over, arriving at a small alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Xu Chong, besides being brainless and impulsive, was also lecherous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every night, he had to sleep with a woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any decent woman he set his eyes on basically couldn't escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight was no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as it got dark, Xu Chong went to the home of a woman he had set his eyes on during the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Chen Mu arrived, he had just finished his business and was coming out of an ordinary civilian’s home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stinking bitch, me sleeping with you is a blessing you cultivated for eight lifetimes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was cursing while tying his pants in the alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chong, who didn't bring any gang members, was full of arrogance on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a minor leader, it stood to reason that he should have a few confidants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chong didn't, because when he got impulsive, he would even beat his own subordinates until they were crippled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the gang members following him were the fewest in number, and these people had been pulling strings privately, hoping to transfer to the command of other leaders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chong didn't care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he wasn't fighting or killing, he practiced martial arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In some respects, this person was relatively pure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how pure he was, it had nothing to do with Chen Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish, swish, swish~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange sound without the whistling of wind erupted the moment Xu Chong turned the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten flying needles covered Xu Chong head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An attack without warning;
