Chapter 80

First-class experts and martial arts masters may seem similar, but in reality, they are worlds apart!

This is because only those who have cultivated a trace of internal energy can be called 'martial arts masters,' and this is a strict standard!

Some first-class experts, even those at the peak of their class, may encounter bottlenecks and spend ten or twenty years stuck at this threshold, struggling to cultivate internal energy!

This requires opportunity, enlightenment, or... ancient martial arts techniques!

However, ancient martial arts techniques are extremely rare and hard to come by, and most people can only rely on themselves...

So, when this peak first-class expert saw Xiao Chen kill several other experts, he immediately felt fear and instinctively wanted to run!

"Tonight, no one is leaving!"

Xiao Chen moved swiftly, blocking the path of the peak first-class expert and delivering a powerful punch!

Bang!

Xiao Chen's full strength sent the peak first-class expert reeling back. Then, a barrage of attacks followed, relentless and fierce like a storm!

"Quick, call for backup!"

The peak first-class expert shouted at the dazed Lao He, then swung his fist to counterattack!

He was determined to fight to the death, knowing that if he didn't, he would surely die here today!

When a person faces a life-or-death crisis, they often unleash boundless potential!

And now, it was happening!

"Kill!"

This peak first-class expert, like a lone boat in a storm, was struggling to stay afloat, but he was still holding on!

Lao He, now awake, turned to run!

"Want to run?!"

Xiao Chen, who was fighting the peak first-class expert, noticed Lao He trying to escape, leaped out of the battle, and kicked Lao He in the back!

Bang!

Lao He, being only a third-class expert, couldn't avoid Xiao Chen's attack!

He let out a惨叫 and flew out like a sandbag. If Xiao Chen hadn't held back to question him, that kick would have been fatal!

Puff!

Lao He fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His black face turned pale, and he struggled to get up but couldn't!

"I said, no one is leaving tonight!"

Xiao Chen dealt with Lao He and returned to the fight, clashing with the peak first-class expert again!

Bang! Bang!

Although the peak first-class expert unleashed boundless potential, the gap between them was still significant, and it was not easy to bridge!

"Break it!"

Suddenly, Xiao Chen let out a long cry and delivered a powerful punch.

Bang!

The peak first-class expert felt a surge of internal energy from the punch, followed by intense pain!

His face showed shock and fear—this was the power of a martial arts master's internal energy!

Then, Xiao Chen continued his relentless attacks, and the peak first-class expert's face gradually turned pale, with a sharp pain in his lower abdomen, though he could still endure it!

"Ah!"

Finally, the peak first-class expert was sent flying, crashing heavily into the wall, the force of the impact breaking through it!

Boom!

The wall collapsed!

Before the peak first-class expert could react, he was buried under the debris!

Xiao Chen watched this scene but did not stop. He stepped forward, looking down at him coldly.

"No..."

The man struggled, trying to push away the rocks on top of him, begging for mercy...

But Xiao Chen was unmoved. He bent down, picked up a rock the size of a human head, and smashed it into the man's head!

"No... don't..."

The man's face was filled with fear as the strong scent of death enveloped him!

Smack!

The rock hit the man's head, blood splattered, and his head exploded!

Xiao Chen didn't look at the corpse again and turned to Lao He.

"You, who are you? Why are you here to kill me?"

Lao He, enduring the pain, leaned against the wall and asked, trembling.

Xiao Chen remained silent, just looking at him coldly.

"Are you sent by Ren Hai? Don't kill me, I won't compete for the leadership anymore, I'll leave Longhai immediately..."

Lao He trembled and shouted.

"Why did you send people to kidnap Su Qing?"

Xiao Chen asked coldly.

"What?"

Lao He was stunned. Kidnap Su Qing?

"Didn't you understand me?"

Xiao Chen lifted his foot and stepped on Lao He's thigh.

"Are you talking about Su Qing from Qincheng Company?"

Lao He paused for a few seconds, finally remembering something.

"Don't pretend with me, tell me why you did it!"

Xiao Chen nodded.

Lao He was speechless. Damn, you killed so many people just for this? Is it worth it?

"My patience is limited, speak!"

Xiao Chen said, and with a forceful step, he heard a 'crack' as Lao He's leg bone was crushed!

"Ah..." Lao He screamed: "I'll tell you, it was my cousin who found me, saying a benefactor offered money to kidnap Su Qing from Qincheng Company..."

"Your cousin? The benefactor?" Xiao Chen frowned. "Explain clearly!"

"Can you move your foot first? It hurts..."

Lao He shouted.

Xiao Chen lifted his foot, took out a cigarette, and lit it. "Speak carefully!"

"If I tell you, will you let me live?"

Lao He, a seasoned criminal, knew his strengths and wanted to negotiate for his life!

"Do you have the right to negotiate with me?"

Xiao Chen's expression turned cold. He bent down, picked up a fallen revolver, and pointed it at Lao He's head.

Lao He trembled at the sight of the revolver's dark barrel. "I just want to live..."

"Fine, if you satisfy me, I'll give you a chance to live... whether you survive or not is up to your luck!"

Xiao Chen thought for a moment and said slowly.

"But..."

"You'd better not test my patience. I have ways to make you talk, believe me?"

Xiao Chen saw the man still hesitating and a killing intent spread.

"No... I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

Lao He shook his head in fear. He realized this man was a devil, a cold-blooded executioner... He had already killed so many people tonight, and he wouldn't mind one more!

"Speak!"

"Yes, yes, three days ago, my cousin came to me, saying someone offered 500,000 to kidnap Su Qing... I don't know much else!"

"Is that all?"

"Yes."

"Call your cousin and tell him to come here immediately!"

"Okay, okay!"

Lao He nodded hurriedly. At this point, he didn't care about his cousin's fate, just his own!

Watching Lao He pick up his phone, Xiao Chen said calmly, "If you don't want to die, don't play any tricks, or they'll have to collect your body even if they come!"

"No, no..."

Lao He shook his head, found his cousin's number, and showed it to Xiao Chen to reassure him.

But soon, his face turned green because the call wouldn't go through, saying the number was out of service...

"It's... not connecting..."

Lao He tried several times, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Keep trying!"

Xiao Chen picked up a string of prayer beads from the ground and played with them.

"Okay, okay."

Lao He nodded and tried again, but the number was still out of service!

"Do you believe in Buddhism?"

Suddenly, Xiao Chen asked.

"Ah? Yes, yes, I believe in Buddhism. The Buddha says, 'Heaven has a benevolent heart and does not take life lightly...'"

Lao He looked at the prayer beads in Xiao Chen's hand and shouted.

Smack!

Xiao Chen, hearing this, threw the prayer beads at Lao He's head, irritated. "Nowadays, it's not fashionable to wear gold chains, so you wear prayer beads to pretend to be a Buddhist believer?"

"..."

"Do you dare to mention 'Heaven has a benevolent heart' to me? Ha, when that beast was torturing that girl, why didn't you say that?"

"..."

Lao He didn't dare to speak.

"Your hands are stained with blood. Do you think holding a string of prayer beads can cleanse your sins? If you deserve hell, you will go to hell, understand?"

Xiao Chen sighed inwardly, 'With a heart of compassion and a hand of violence, one becomes a demon instead of a saint, with no other choice!'

"Yes, yes..." Lao He nodded, his face grim. "Big brother, the call won't go through, what should I do?"

"What's your cousin's name? Where does he live?"

Lao He didn't dare to hide anything and quickly answered.

"So, this matter was arranged by your cousin, and you don't know who the benefactor is?"

"Yes, yes, I just took the money to do the job..."

"Haha, you took the money to do the job, but now no one is helping you!"

"I was wrong... I won't do it again, I'll leave Longhai City..."

Xiao Chen, hearing this, thought of something and asked, "By the way, who is Ren Hai you mentioned earlier?"

"He is the younger brother of the leader of the Eagle Gang..."

"The leader's younger brother? Oh, he's back to support his nephew, right?"

Xiao Chen remembered what the fat man in the bar had said and smiled strangely.

"Yes, please, let me go..."

Lao He, noticing Xiao Chen's strange smile, trembled and begged.

"Ha, I said I would give you a chance!"

Xiao Chen said, taking out the revolver's cylinder.

Lao He's eyes widened. Was this Russian roulette?

Although it was dangerous, the chance of survival was five out of six... that was acceptable!

He didn't believe his luck would be that bad!

But when he saw Xiao Chen's next move, he almost jumped up. What the hell was he doing!

Xiao Chen opened the cylinder, removed a bullet, spun it a few times, and closed it again!

"Brother He, does this scene look familiar? Have you played before?"

Xiao Chen raised the gun, pointing it at Lao He's head, and asked with a smile.

"Played... played... but the rule is to leave one bullet, right?" Lao He's face turned pale.

"Oh? Is it one bullet?"

"Yes, it's always one bullet..."

"Oh, that might be your rule... now the gun is in my hands, so we play by my rules!"

"..."

"Five bullets, one empty slot. If you're lucky enough, you can live... ha, don't you like exciting games? Open your eyes and enjoy the most thrilling game in the world!"

"No... don't..."

Lao He, looking at the dark barrel, trembled against the wall, cold sweat dripping down...
