Quickly conquer the martial arts world, and let your fists dominate the heavens!

No need to read Chapter 208, they're doomed!
"Thump~"

"Thump~"

"Pah~pah~"

Chen Zhan moved too quickly; it took everyone a moment to react after he finished speaking. They stood up abruptly, overturning the jujube wood chairs behind them.

"What are you going to do!"

"Release Master Yuan!"

Several leaders stood up and spoke. Those present were all high-ranking members of the Heaven and Earth Society. After such an incident, they had gathered in the capital from all over the country.

Several men entered from outside, holding guns and pointing them at Chen Zhan.

In an instant, tensions rose.

Chen Zhan remained the same, neither serious nor cynical, simply looking at Chen Xitang indifferently.

"Sit down! You all get out!"

At Chen Xitang's command, the gang members who had just entered with guns drawn went out.

Everyone sat down, leaving only the middle-aged man who had spoken up earlier. His eyes, perched atop his hooked nose, were filled with hatred, but he couldn't move at all, as if his muscles and bones were locked, preventing him from gathering any strength.

"The Heaven and Earth Society naturally belongs to the martial arts world and is also under the jurisdiction of the state. The rules of the sect cannot supersede the law. However, Alliance Leader Chen has already executed two branch leaders who were addicted to opium. What more do you want?"

Chen Xitang, as the head of the organization, came from Shanghai.

In this era, the main headquarters cannot completely control all the branch headquarters. If a branch headquarters makes a mistake, even according to national law, it is impossible to punish the entire family, right?

"The fact that the Beiping branch was involved in opium trafficking was not ordered by the headmaster, was it?"

Chen Zhan tapped the armchair with three fingers, the "thump thump thump~" sound seeming to resonate in everyone's hearts with each tap.

"How is that possible? We have no need to get involved with that stuff, and since Alliance Leader Chen arrived early, he should have heard the conversation just now."

Chen Xitang was shocked. If Chen Zhan really labeled him an opium dealer, then he was planning to eradicate the Heaven and Earth Society.

They are completely different in nature.

Fortunately, Chen Zhan nodded and smiled, "Yes, the Governor-General wasn't lying. Since you don't know, then I'll leave some incense for your Heaven and Earth Society."

"you"

The moment Chen Xitang spoke, Chen Zhan moved again.

But this time, those below were prepared and suddenly became vigilant.

Yao Zhibin stood in the hall, and in the next instant, his body went numb and he couldn't move. Then, everything in front of him became blurry.

When he regained consciousness, he was already kneeling in front of Chen Zhan.

"You! You've gone too far! Do you really think the Heaven and Earth Society is easy to bully?"

There was another uproar.

"Iron Tiger!"

Chen Xitang also spoke to signal the burly man behind him. The burly man understood and his calloused hands shot out from behind Chen Zhan’s neck.

Iron Palm?

Chen Zhan didn't turn around, only said this sentence, and let the other person grab his neck.

A pair of rough, calloused hands gripped the back of Chen Zhan's neck like two steel clamps, and with a forceful twist, his neck snapped and he died.

Even for an average strong man, a hundred or so pounds of force applied to the neck can be fatal.

Moreover, a master of Iron Palm like Tie Hu, who specializes in hand techniques, can twist a piece of pig iron into a pretzel in an instant with a force of several hundred pounds.

But with his hands on his body, Chen Zhan didn't care at all.

"Originally, Chen only dealt with people who were addicted to opium."

"Chief Chen, there's no turning back now that the arrow has been released. Have you thought about the consequences of attacking me?" Chen Zhan said calmly.

Chen Xitang's expression shifted, his mind racing, and he shouted, "Stop!!!"

Although the process was quick, Tiehu's strength was even faster.

Before Chen Xitang could speak, the immense force had already slashed towards Chen Zhan's neck, "Smack!"

With his rough palms joined together like knives, he slashed down with a sharp crack.

The sound was so much like a broken neck, the sound of someone's neck being twisted.
However, everyone saw it with their own eyes, so there was no misjudgment. In fact, Chen Zhan was unharmed, and not only did he not resist, he even turned his head to look.

"Iron Palm, haven't you mastered it yet?"

Chen Zhan's voice sounded like a nightmare. Tie Hu couldn't believe it and slashed at the opponent's vulnerable neck with all his might. Not only was he unharmed, but his hands were struck by a fierce, hidden force.

Everyone was looking at Chen Zhan, and that's when they noticed that Chen Zhan was alright, but Tie Hu's hand was injured!
Two thick, dark hands, with ten fingers twisted at an odd angle, the fingers even touching the back of the hands.

"Ah! You! I...I'll kill you!"

Tie Hu was furious, completely forgetting that Chen Xitang had just told him to stop.

Lift your leg, then deliver a whip kick!
Behind Chen Zhan, he unleashed his full power, lashing out with a whip that sent the wind whistling through the air.

The whip kick was aimed at Chen Zhan's head, but because it was behind him, the jujube wood chair had to be smashed first.

"Boom!~"

However, the jujube wood chair was unharmed, but the figure flew out. Iron Tiger's huge body was sent flying like a cannonball, smashing many wooden furniture pieces in the hall.

Dust flew up and hit the wall, smashing a big hole in it!

"Iron Tiger!"

Chen Xitang exclaimed in surprise, turning to look over the wall. Chen Zhan spoke up behind him:
"No need to look, they're doomed."

Chen Xitang turned his head, his brows furrowed deeply: "Mr. Chen, do you really want to fight to the death with my Heaven and Earth Society?"

Chen Zhan stood up and smiled: "What did I just say?"

Chen Xitang stared intently at Chen Zhan: "Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back!"

“That’s right, you didn’t stop him. If he had attacked me, he would have died. As for what you said about fighting the Heaven and Earth Society to the death, that’s even simpler.”

"I'm giving you face by calling you Chief, do you really think you're Chen Jinnan?"

"Even if Chen Jinnan were to stand in my way two hundred years ago, could he have stopped me from killing him? It would have been a fight to the death, would your Heaven and Earth Society be worthy of that?"

Chen Zhan spoke calmly, as if stating something that could not be questioned.

"You're too domineering. What kind of so-called alliance leader are you? Do you really think our Heaven and Earth Society is a pushover?"

This statement was not made by Chen Xitang, but by another helmsman in his sixties below.

Chen Zhan glanced over, but this time he neither spoke nor made any further moves to capture them.

bang~
The air seemed to explode!
Chen Zhan placed his hand on the old man's chest, and the man was sent hurtling down like a cannonball, but the impact was directed at his feet. The sixty-year-old body simply couldn't withstand such a blow. A human figure was imprinted on the blue bricks of the ground, the man crushed and embedded in the floorboards.

Blood was flowing from the mouth and nose, "gurgle gurgle~"

Then, after a few seconds, there was no sound.

"Yes, that's how domineering Chen is. Does anyone have a problem with that?"

Chen Xitang's eyes seemed to be spitting fire. Chen Zhan didn't take him or the Heaven and Earth Society seriously at all, and was extremely arrogant.

He could sense that Chen Zhan's arrogance and domineering attitude were not a deliberate act or a way to intimidate him.

Rather, they genuinely don't care.

A mayfly trying to shake a tree will not be taken seriously by the tree.

"Alliance Leader Chen, whatever you say, we'll do!" Chen Xitang practically spat out these words through clenched teeth.

"Then so be it. You investigate and send those who cooperated with the Yellow Lotus Sect in selling opium to the police station within three days, and see how the National Government handles it."

Chen Zhan said to Chen Xitang.

Actually, regardless of who was behind this, since the police didn't investigate, it's considered closed.

But Chen Zhan disagreed, so there was nothing that could be done and the investigation had to continue.

As the police chief, Sun Chengyuan has reopened the investigation. When the Heaven and Earth Society sends people there, the police will conduct a thorough investigation.

"If the police find out that one of them is an imposter, a death row inmate taking the place of the other two, their fate will be the same. The Grand Master should think this through."

As Chen Zhan spoke, he walked over to the two people kneeling on the ground, unable to move.

He sniffed them: "You two both smell of opium, am I right?"

Chen Zhan placed his hand on their shoulders, and the two of them suddenly regained their mobility. They looked up in terror, only to be met with Chen Zhan's hand-blade slashing their necks.

It was exactly the same movement as Tie Hu had just made.

They lacked the imposing presence of Iron Tiger and their strength was unclear, but the two lost consciousness the moment their necks were slashed.

After lying on the ground, blood slowly trickled from the corner of his mouth.

"You killed them both???" Chen Xitang looked at Chen Zhan, and everyone below was watching as well. At this moment, it felt like they were staring at the devil.

"What's the big deal? Do I need to consult you before I kill someone? Haven't you seen it in the newspapers?"

Chen Zhan felt that these people from the Heaven and Earth Society were brainless. Since they recognized him, they must know about his deeds.

Taking direct action is fine, but thinking he's a good-tempered person who can be negotiated with is a bit outrageous.

In the martial arts world, seeing is believing. Many people only know about it from newspapers and rumors and don't believe it at all. In addition, after these few days of guidance in the arena, Chen Zhan's performance is completely unlike the "ruthless demon star" he is.

After killing the man, Chen Zhan walked out, only to be blocked by a group of people with guns and swords.

But none of them dared to lift it, and they were all waiting for Chen Xitang's orders.

After taking two steps, Chen Zhan turned back and said:
"By the way, don't tell me about the Beiping branch of the Heaven and Earth Society. There are only a few people involved. The Yellow Lotus Sect has explained in detail the countless steps involved in the production, sale, transportation, and collection of opium."

"You only have one life. If the police station doesn't see any members of your Heaven and Earth Society within three days, you won't survive the night. Believe it or not."

“Your Heaven and Earth Society has a strong foundation and many elders, so it doesn’t matter. Have them come to me and see if they will die.”

Chen Zhan's voice wasn't loud, but the hall was unusually quiet at the moment, and everyone could hear him clearly.

As I approached the door, a group of people blocked the way, and they automatically parted to make way for me.

Several others gripped their pistols tightly in their hands, their fingertips turning white.

"If you're afraid to fire, then don't draw your weapon."

With a soft utterance, Chen Zhan swept past the gang members, who cried out in alarm as their guns vanished!
After Chen Zhan left,

"Dang~"

A piece of scrap metal fell from the sky, startling everyone who quickly retreated. Upon closer inspection, the pattern from the previous pistol was still visible.

At this moment, the five guns were forcibly joined together, the scrap metal twisted into a ball, and the original shape of the guns could no longer be discerned.

Chen Zhan's figure disappeared, and the entire branch of the Heaven and Earth Society fell into dead silence.

After a long while, Chen Xitang let out a deep sigh.

"Clean up the bodies, and the leaders, please follow me inside."

Chen Xitang stepped into the inner room. The main hall was completely destroyed and needed repair.

Moreover, he no longer dared to speak in public.

This branch is guarded from all sides, and it's impossible for anyone to leak secrets.

So Chen Zhan probably just happened to be passing by and heard someone mention his name.

What terrifying sense of the five senses is this?

As I walked along the road, I heard people talking about themselves about a hundred meters away inside a hall.
Chen Xitang began to understand why Chen Zhan was so arrogant. The Heaven and Earth Society had a deep foundation, and many people no longer used that name; they were now called the "Hong Gang."

However, the older generation still prefers to identify themselves as members of the Heaven and Earth Society.

Having inherited power for two or three hundred years, they naturally understood the source of Chen Zhan's confidence and arrogance.

Only strength matters!

Even if we don't say that one person can stop a million soldiers, with Chen Zhan's current skills, if he were to storm into the headquarters of the Heaven and Earth Society and hundreds of people rushed up on him, they might not be able to kill him.

But with firearms, things might be different.

But firearms are not a panacea. If they fail to kill Chen Zhan, they will face endless assassinations, massacres, and strangulation.

The Heaven and Earth Society will never have a peaceful day, and its centuries-old foundation may be destroyed in an instant!
So he dared not gamble, because he couldn't afford to.

Several leaders entered the room. Chen Xitang didn't say much, but directly gave orders for them to begin investigating and questioning.

None of the branch leaders were from the capital, and they did not know the disciples of the capital branch.

There is no possibility of favoritism.

The group hesitated, then Chen Xitang said, "Chen Zhan is not wrong. It is a capital offense for anyone within the sect to be involved in opium."

"As for our feud with Chen Zhan, I will use the 'Golden Seal Token' to ask Old Master Sun for help when we return to Shanghai."

"Well, we'll listen to the Grand Master."

They were shocked that the leader wanted to use the 'Golden Seal Token', but they had no other choice. They had seen Chen Zhan's skills firsthand, and even the elders in the sect were no match for him.

Moreover, those old geezers are shrewd and cunning, and they value their lives very much.

Asking them to risk their lives against Chen Zhan for the sake of a few disciples is harder than climbing to heaven.
