Chapter 48

But before those around could recover, the young man's cold, calm words fell, and the Tulong Gang thugs behind him immediately surged forward, axes in hand!

【Just two more chapters to go~~】

【034】 Either die… or surrender! 【7/10 chapters】

His calm, indifferent words fell.

Behind him.

Tulong Gang thugs.

Instantly.

Charged forward!

The Heigou Gang thugs ahead were still dazed, especially after seeing their boss get obliterated in an instant—unbelievable, unable to comprehend!

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Ahead, the Tulong Gang thugs, their hands wrapped in gauze and blades tied fast, had already slashed toward them—fierce, ferocious; the fall of the Evil Dog had instantly boosted their morale!

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

The Heigou Gang thugs snapped back to reality, raised their blades in retaliation—even if they hadn't fully processed it—but facing the surging Tulong Gang, their morale collapsed: their boss dead, leaderless, shaken by that single strike, they lost formation the moment combat began!

"…"

"…"

"…"

"Huh?"

Those watching from afar—including gang hooligans—stared blankly, and after that stunned silence came…

Shock!

W-what just happened?!

They hadn't even seen the opening remarks, hadn't heard any threats exchanged—Brother Yanwang, the moment he met the Evil Dog, moved with flawless, fluid precision.

Directly…

One strike…

Killed the Evil Dog, the Heigou Gang's red stick with 8,000 combat index?!

They'd imagined countless possibilities, countless scenes—even dared to hope Brother Yanwang might somehow defeat the Evil Dog, and that had been their wildest vision, since before the fight…

No one believed in Brother Yanwang!

But…

No one could have imagined this scene!

Too brutal!

Too savage!

Too shocking!

And at this moment,

Those who witnessed the fight firsthand finally knew: Brother Yanwang's title was real.

"His combat index…"

"Could it have broken ten thousand?"

Faced with this shocking scene, they naturally guessed Brother Yanwang's combat index was high—but they had no exact answer!

That was the most shocking part!

Because…

Brother Yanwang, who killed the Evil Dog with one slash, never once raised his combat index—he slew the Evil Dog without ever activating it!

What…

Is Brother Yanwang's combat index?!

Amid those stunned gazes, the battlefield did not unfold as they'd expected—Heigou Gang crushing Tulong Gang. Instead, with the death of Heigou's red stick and Brother Yanwang's ferocity, brutality, and sheer dominance, their spirits shattered.

Two hundred men…

Were being driven back by just fifty-odd men from Taian Street.

"That's…"

"Brother Yanwang?"

Countless eyes turned to the young man.

The young man held his blade, having slain the red stick—his face remained calm as he stepped forward, behind him, Tulong Gang thugs charging ahead.

The blade dripped blood.

Amid the surging crowd, he advanced step by step, his aura of slaughter nearly piercing the sky—just one glance made hearts tremble in awe; the moonlight seemed unable to touch him—he moved through darkness and shadow, slashing toward the Heigou Gang masses.

Splash!

Splash!

Splash!

Cold gleam.

Flashing in the night, each slash opened blood, and bodies fell before Lin Yu.

Around him, roars of battle mixed with cries of pain, helpless curses, and pitiful pleas for mercy…

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The morale of the Tulong Gang soared sky-high. As if they didn't care about their lives, they charged forward madly, and the more they pressed on, the more the members of the Heigou Gang were forced into a steady retreat!

Under the stunned gazes of the onlookers and gang members all around.

Over two hundred people, being slaughtered into retreat by a mere fifty-plus, with no boss to lead them, they had virtually no fighting spirit left. The carnage unfolding up ahead only filled their hearts with dread!

This was a battle that everyone had assumed would be a foregone conclusion.

Now.

Indeed, there was no suspense…

A crushing!

But the ones being crushed…

Were the Heigou Gang!

"Run…"

"Run for it!"

At this moment, some of the Heigou Gang's members had completely broken down. Watching their comrades fall one after another right before their eyes, they had no more will to fight and turned to flee!

As one Heigou Gang member ran toward the rear, the other Heigou Gang members were swept up as well, turning tail and bolting on the spot.

In an instant.

Nearly a hundred Heigou Gang members had already fled toward the rear. The Heigou Gang members who had still been barely fighting at the front saw so many people running and looked at the situation before them.

So.

All of the Heigou Gang's members…

Retreated entirely toward the streets and roads behind them.

But.

The Heigou Gang members running at the very front suddenly stopped in their tracks. In an instant, all the Heigou Gang members, because of the front-runners' halt, had no choice but to stop as well.

"Dammit!"

"Run…"

The Heigou Gang members in the rear, seeing they were about to be caught up to, couldn't help but curse out loud. But before the words were even finished, his voice also cut off abruptly.

Their gazes.

Also saw what lay ahead.
