Chapter 248 Beheading
Upon seeing Qin Ziwen, Tang Xiao reached into his pocket and pulled out a card. "I agree."

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Ziwu had already swung his knife.

The blade flashed like cold lightning, piercing Tang Xiao's chest with a soft thud. The force of the impact sent him flying backward.

The action was so fast that most people present didn't have time to react.

The remaining four men surrounding Tang Xiao had just begun to show a fierce glint in their eyes when a barrage of blades rained down from all sides, creating an impenetrable barrier.

Among the crowd, a lean man wielding a pair of iron rods moved with incredible speed, parrying three or four knives in quick succession amidst the flashing of the rods. His moves were quite disciplined, indicating that he was a trained martial artist.

Qin Ziwen glanced at it and offered his insight.

[Ordinary Human: ☆☆☆☆☆]

The limits of a mortal being are likely limited to the highly skilled individuals meticulously trained by martial arts societies.

But in the narrow stairwell, without armor, he faced a barrage of blades, with nowhere to hide or dodge.

Standing behind him, Du Yu exerted an even stronger sense of pressure on him. Before he could react, he was slashed on the back of his hand by a knife, and the iron rod clattered to the ground.

The next second, more flashes of blades engulfed him.

It was chopped into minced meat.

The battle ended quickly.

The ground was littered with corpses.

Qin Ziwen pondered for a moment, then suddenly felt that things might be going too smoothly.

The victory seemed even easier than expected.

But then he silently shook his head. No, the reason he was able to do so easily this time was because he had made a meticulous plan beforehand.

The other party probably didn't expect that he could activate the node and launch a surprise attack right at his doorstep.

They were caught completely off guard.

Qin Ziwu found the card that the square-faced, broad-nosed man had just pulled out on the corpse of the man who had taken out the card.

"Brother, this is the card he just took out, hey—" Qin Ziwu's expression was strange, because the card in his hand was not a summoning card, nor any other dangerous card, but an advanced resource copying card.

So he took out this card to...
Qin Ziwen didn't say anything, took the card, glanced at it, and casually put it in his pocket.

"It's alright, you did a great job." Qin Ziwen didn't think there was a problem. If the other party had just pulled out a summoning card and summoned a giant beast like a duck-billed dinosaur or a Tyrannosaurus Rex in this building, then he would have regretted it immensely.

"Everyone, search as soon as possible, don't take too long."

This person seems to hold a high position in the martial arts world; there must be many valuable items in this house.

While the others were searching through things, Qin Ziwen went to the top floor and looked out from the rooftop.

The once spacious courtyard has somehow become "narrow" again, and the huge shipyard has disappeared without a trace.

Other buildings that were previously in the corner of the courtyard have also disappeared.

The whole courtyard gave him the feeling of "death".

It was lifeless.

At the same time, hurried footsteps and suppressed voices could be heard from the alley outside the courtyard.

The people in the urban village have been alerted and are gathering here.

Further away, lights were lit in a building.

Qin Ziwen said, "Hurry up, Cao Biansheng can come over soon too."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a window in the building across the street shattered with a crash, and a figure fell from the third-floor window.

He fell to the ground outside, twitched twice, and then stopped moving.

Immediately afterwards, flames erupted from the building, and black smoke billowed out of the windows.

Cao Biansheng and his group rushed out of the building and headed this way.

As they got closer, Qin Ziwen noticed that someone in their group was being supported, walking unsteadily, seemingly injured, but still conscious.

"Walk."

Soon, everyone returned home via the node.

After returning home, Qin Ziwen retrieved the node.

There are three node slots available, but one of them is currently in a cooling-off period and requires a 7-day wait.

On the other side, in the courtyard, a large number of members of the Jianghu Society poured in, turning the once spacious courtyard back into its previous narrowness. Behind them, heads jostled, and the crowd parted.

"Brother Long."

"Brother Long."

Yang Long walked into the courtyard, glanced at the vanished shipyard, and remained silent for a long time.

"boom!"

He suddenly clenched his fist and slammed it heavily against the wall.

"Grass!"

Yang Long cursed, "Idiot! That damn idiot! I told him to be careful, to be careful! Why didn't he listen to me?!"

Yang Long is like a lion with wild hair.

No one else dared to approach.

In the Jianghu Society, Yang Long's status was second only to Tang Xiao.

Yang Long's chest heaved violently, his eyes wide with rage as he stared intently at the three-story building in front of him.

The reason why their Jianghu Society was able to contend with Bloodletter was not because of any one person, but because of a group of people! In addition, their unique architecture enabled them to cooperate with Bloodletter.

For example, the Giant Wood Shipyard cannot be plundered because the building is bound to the Homeowner.

This is our greatest source of confidence.

In addition, their urban village itself also possessed a certain level of military strength, which is why they were able to temporarily achieve a balance with the Blood Letter.

But now Tang Xiao is dead.

The shipyard is gone.

"Brother Long, all the brothers inside are dead," a member who went inside to check reported.

Yang Long remained silent. Those who could be brought into the building by Tang Xiao were basically all elites.

He remembered that there were usually at least a dozen people inside.

"Brother Long, more than a dozen brothers have died in the building across the street too." Another underling came running up from behind, panting.

"Hmm." Yang Long was already numb. Compared to Tang Xiao's death, the deaths of thirty-odd people were actually a small matter.

Weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Yang Long raised his head and looked at the brothers around him. "You all know the situation on the Blood Letter side. If you don't want to be merged into them, then you have to listen to me from now on."

"Brother Long, we'll listen to you."

"Correct!"

Everyone present echoed in agreement.

The atmosphere at the Hongding Building was too oppressive; they felt a chill after seeing it on the last map.

However, since the two buildings have become one, they have no choice but to continue contacting each other.

A moment later, the team from Hongding Building arrived from the building.

Leading the group was Pu Jia, an old acquaintance of Yang Long.

As the third-ranking member of Bloodletter, he is also the one who appears most frequently. He is mainly responsible for Bloodletter's external hunting, and the two often cooperate.

Pu Jia tiptoed and looked around, finally settling his gaze on the courtyard in front of him. Then he tilted his head to look at Yang Long beside him. Pu Jia's dyed white hair was particularly eye-catching under the light of the surrounding torches.

"Hey, what's wrong with you guys? We have such a big shipyard!" Pu Jia opened his arms, his face full of disbelief.

"Tang Xiao is dead, and the shipyard is gone," Yang Long replied calmly.

Pu Jia raised his eyebrows, his face full of disbelief. "You mean, your boss was killed despite the heavy protection of your urban village? Holy crap."

Pu Jia clutched his head, his expression exaggerated: "Are you a bunch of pigs? You can't even hold someone back."

Yang Long said, "The opponents we were matched with this time are very strong. They have the means to come to our island silently."

Pu Jia shrugged. "Strong? Stop making excuses for yourself. If they were really that good, why don't they come and take me down?"

To put it bluntly, it's because you guys are useless that you're easy to bully!

We went to so much trouble to help you cut down trees, and this is the result? Haha. The boss has a bad temper; you'd better think about how to explain this to him first.
