Of course, in exchange, I can provide you with everything, including trade and security!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhang Cheng’s words, the chief said angrily, \"Even the land you live on belongs to us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kin, you are blaming the wrong person; I am not one of those executioners!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the chief’s rebuke, Zhang Cheng glanced at Rooster and the others beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, what are they saying? Why do I feel something is not right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Tristan curiously, Rooster could clearly feel a dangerous gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is saying we stole the land!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Rooster, Tristan explained honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, he also knew Indian; after all, he had been learning \"Indian\" culture with his father's friends since he was a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He enjoyed hunting because it made him feel very excited, and at the same time, he was unruly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you cleared out that group of robbers wandering outside?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asking Zhang Cheng, the chief began to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right; they are a destabilizing factor that will bring unnecessary trouble to our communication!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the chief in front of him, Zhang Cheng placed the silver in front of him and said, \"Although this isn't gold, it can bring a lot of wealth. I will give you 20% of the profits every year; you just need to acknowledge my rights.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, this guy didn't come here for the Lucky Ned gang at all; he's here for the silver!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, Rooster and LaBoeuf were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, they thought Zhang Cheng was a man pursuing justice, but they didn't expect this guy to be the real mastermind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Rooster and LaBoeuf’s words, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but turn his head and say, \"Can you shut your mouths? Otherwise, I wouldn't mind hanging you from a tree!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhang Cheng, Rooster seemed to want to say something more, but was held back by Mattie, because the situation was stronger than the person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want to hire my tribesmen to mine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhang Cheng, a gloomy look appeared on the chief’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I won't let my kin go into the dark underground. The wealth I give you is what you deserve, because we are one family.

I am a firm executor of the law!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Rooster with a playful face, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but walk up to him and say, \"You are for the bounty, I am for justice; is there anything wrong with that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is your damn justice just stealing silver mines?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhang Cheng, Rooster couldn't help but question him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Otherwise, what do you think is driving me to become righteous?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smiling at Rooster, Zhang Cheng patted his shoulder and said, \"You're old enough, don't be so hateful of evil; you have to learn to embrace life and enjoy everything!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhang Cheng’s words, Rooster wished he could pull out his revolver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing his appearance, LaBoeuf quickly stopped him: \"Hey, enough, Rooster, don't forget what our goal is!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing LaBoeuf’s words, Rooster turned around and said, \"Are you going to follow me, or follow this villain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm going with you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing LaBoeuf’s words, Mattie immediately made a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he was so angry was that Zhang Cheng made him feel that justice had been tarnished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But is there really justice in this world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They say delayed justice is still justice, but for Zhang Cheng, delayed justice is nothing more than the truth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those with blood on their hands will not have a good end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yongxiao: If you come out to run the underworld, you'll have to pay it back sooner or later!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Cheng: Meeting me means it's time for you to pay your debts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ghost Rider: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several days of tracking, Rooster and the others still hadn't found Chaney’s whereabouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, on this morning, a gunshot woke everyone up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the group, who were still arguing about parting ways, heard the gunshot, they immediately became vigilant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, when they arrived at a plain, they saw Zhang Cheng, holding a revolver, shooting with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As robbers kept falling, the horses began to run around in chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the chaotic scene, Tristan had already been shot, but he was still stubbornly hiding behind cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They ran into an ambush!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking in astonishment, LaBoeuf quickly raised the rifle in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just then, Rooster had already charged out on horseback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he intended to help, he saw that Zhang Cheng had already finished off all the robbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the five or six robbers who had been there, all falling in a single exchange, Rooster was also dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because his marksmanship was truly accurate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unlucky guy, are you okay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving in front of Tristan, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, my arm is shot!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gritting his teeth, Tristan couldn't help but shout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dismounting, Zhang Cheng pulled out the dagger from his waist, held down his arm, and picked the bullet out directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shrill scream echoed through the entire canyon; Tristan’s wailing seemed to make people feel despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, facing this scene, Zhang Cheng calmly put away the dagger and helped him stop the bleeding: \"Enough, you're screaming like a girl! It's not a fatal wound.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it were a fatal wound, could he still scream?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhang Cheng suspiciously, Lai Fujie asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why not? Screaming in hell counts too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smiling, Zhang Cheng pulled Tristan up and looked at Rooster, who was rushing over from the distance: \"Hey, One-Eye, Chaney is right there; do you still need him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Chaney, whose forehead had been pierced by Zhang Cheng’s shot, Rooster said with disdain, \"No need!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so? That's a pity!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shrugging his shoulders, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but complain.\u003C\u002Fp>",1305,"2026-06-18T01:05:50.539Z","2026-06-18T03:13:38.468Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","b82e75a85b97db428acaca2b97720067a5e6c7dc506f3a65bf4c7fffa1158a19","the-evil-force-roaming-the-heavens-chapter-994","the-evil-force-roaming-the-heavens-chapter-992",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frogue-evil-forces-across-the-heavens-cover.jpg"]
