A person sacrifices himself to become a saint in a chaotic world of martial arts.
Chapter 68 Encirclement and Suppression of Luo Haoxuan
The Fierce Tiger Gang mainly operated from its headquarters in Tongming Lane and the Kelai Casino under Yang Tianjing's name.
Besides the gang leader Luo Yonghu, who is a master of the second level of martial arts, the other three protectors have also entered the first level of martial arts.
In addition, the gang is said to have seven or eight ruthless characters who are close to the first level of martial arts but have not yet officially broken through.
Such strength was not considered particularly troublesome by the Zhenfu Division.
Therefore, Chief Wang was ordered to lead a team to encircle and annihilate the Ke Lai Gambling House and several other small strongholds.
Su Bai then headed to the main outpost in Tongming Lane with Chief Li—Chief Li was in charge of dealing with the gang leader, Luo Yonghu.
Su Bai's task was to deal with Luo Haoxuan.
Deep in Tongming Lane, dusk had just begun to tinge the eaves of the street.
The stronghold where Luo Haoxuan was located was not far from his father's base.
It was only dusk, but the stronghold was already bustling with activity.
A dozen or so hooligans crowded around the main hall, shouting and yelling as they threw dice and played dominoes, the air thick with the smell of sweat and dust.
Luo Haoxuan sat alone in an inner room, with two thugs guarding him.
There were several plates of snacks and a small amount of wine on the table.
Luo Haoxuan drank a bowl of wine and slammed it heavily on the table.
"Damn it, Su Bai! You want to die? I'll send you to the Western Paradise!"
For days, he was like an ant on a hot pan, bringing generous gifts to apologize every few days, but he couldn't even get a chance to see Su Bai.
Su Bai seemed determined to oppose the Fierce Tiger Gang, but he also seemed to have some unfathomable backing, making him hesitant to act and caught in a dilemma.
At that moment, the smell of alcohol rushed to his head, and the pent-up anger in his chest almost burst out of his body.
She resented Su Bai for not knowing how to appreciate her kindness, and was also annoyed at herself for being stuck in this predicament like a maggot clinging to a bone.
When has Luo Haoxuan ever been treated like this?
"Young Master, please calm down." A scoundrel approached with a fawning smile.
"In my humble opinion, you should personally go to the Zhenfu Division to see Chief Chen first thing tomorrow morning. Our Fierce Tiger Gang has a reputation in the martial arts world. As long as we show proper courtesy, we shouldn't be afraid of not being able to control Su Bai." As he spoke, he glanced at Luo Haoxuan's expression and, seeing his eyebrows twitch slightly, quickly added:
"We have to smash him down, whether we like it or not, so the whole city knows that the Tiger Gang's claws aren't just for show!"
Luo Haoxuan glanced at him sideways, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
The rogue quickly lowered his head, trying to hide the tension on his face.
The young gang leader's mind is like a winding corridor; a slight misstep could lead to disaster.
Luo Haoxuan ran his fingertips back and forth along the rim of the wine bowl, causing ripples in the liquid that reflected his ever-changing expression.
After a long while, he suddenly tilted his head back and gulped down the remaining wine in the bowl. The wine dripped down his chin and into his clothes, but he seemed completely unaware.
"Go, at 3:45 AM tomorrow, prepare that batch of top-quality pickled mustard greens." He wiped his mouth, his voice hoarse like sandpaper rubbing, "If Su Bai continues to be shameless..." He dragged out the last syllable, a cold laugh escaping his throat, like the soft hum of a blade being drawn from its sheath.
Luo Haoxuan finally made up his mind.
Since Su Bai is so determined to oppose him, it's better to strike first.
If Su Bai truly gains complete power, his Fierce Tiger Gang will be finished.
"Alright, don't worry, young master. I guarantee success. If we really have no other choice, we can always pay a hefty sum to find a master in the black market of another region..."
The rogue quickly offered a compliment and then came up with another idea.
"Yes, you're right. Don't worry, if you get this done, I'll reward you handsomely."
Luo Haoxuan felt much better and drank another bowl of wine.
"Hmm? Something's not right. What's that noise outside?"
Luo Haoxuan suddenly frowned and looked towards the door.
"Young Master, I'll go check right away."
The rogue hurriedly walked towards the door while talking.
After the ruffians left, the noise outside grew louder and louder.
The rascal never returned, which made Luo Haoxuan feel a sense of crisis.
"What on earth happened? Who dares to cause trouble for my Fierce Tiger Gang?"
As he spoke, Luo Haoxuan suddenly stood up and rushed out with another ruffian.
As soon as I pushed open the door, a chilling atmosphere hit me.
Dozens of officers from the Zhenfu Division poured into the main hall outside, dressed in dark blue uniforms and wearing standard long swords at their waists. They stood silently on both sides, blocking the exit completely.
Upon seeing this, Luo Haoxuan's heart sank, and a chill ran down his spine.
He instinctively wanted to turn around and back, and his feet had already moved slightly backward.
With such a large entourage, anyone with discerning eyes could tell that the visitors were up to no good.
"Go quickly and send a message to my father!" Luo Haoxuan lowered his voice and hurriedly ordered a pale-faced ruffian beside him. He himself kept walking faster and faster, intending to use the inner room as cover to escape this place of trouble by climbing over the wall from the back.
"Wait! Chief Luo, where are you rushing off to?"
A clear yet cold voice suddenly rang out, piercing through the stagnant air in the hall.
Luo Haoxuan's steps suddenly froze, as if he had been nailed to the ground.
He slowly turned his head, his pupils suddenly contracting.
"It's you! Su Bai!" He practically spat out the words through clenched teeth, his face instantly turning ashen, veins throbbing on his forehead. "What are you trying to do?"
Su Bai, dressed in a dark, close-fitting outfit, stood before the constables, his posture as upright as a pine tree.
His expression was calm, but his gaze was sharp as a knife as he stared directly at Luo Haoxuan. He spoke slowly, his voice clearly resonating throughout every corner of the hall:
"It is I. The Fierce Tiger Gang has committed numerous evils and heinous crimes. Today, the Garrison Command has come to eradicate them. Ordinary gang members who surrender now will be treated leniently!" He paused slightly, his gaze sweeping over the panicked thugs, his tone becoming more forceful.
"As for whoever can abandon their evil ways and personally capture Luo Haoxuan—a great reward will be given!"
These words immediately changed the atmosphere of the entire hall.
All the hooligans present turned their gazes involuntarily toward Luo Haoxuan.
Some people swallowed hard, their eyes filled with a mixture of greed and fear; others shifted their feet slightly, as if weighing the pros and cons.
The reward is tempting, but how can one survive in the martial arts world after betraying the gang leader?
Luo Haoxuan took in everyone's reactions, his face so dark it was almost dripping with water.
He suddenly let out a short, hoarse, cold laugh:
"Very well... I never expected you, Su Bai, to have such abilities! I, Luo Haoxuan, have been defeated today!"
Before he could finish speaking, a ferocious killing intent flashed across his face, and he stomped his feet hard on the ground.
He made a move to rush towards Su Bai, a cold glint flashing from his sleeve!
"Capture Luo Haoxuan! A hefty reward awaits!" the lead constable shouted sternly. The rest of the constables immediately drew their swords, stood ready, and moved forward to surround him.
Not far away, Chen Dongquan and a few trusted subordinates watched coldly. Instead of stepping forward, they secretly took half a step back.
A barely perceptible, sinister smile played at the corners of his lips, and his eyes held a glimmer of hope—he hoped that Luo Haoxuan's desperate struggle would finally kill the troublesome Su Bai on the spot!
However, the situation changed drastically in the next instant!
Just when everyone thought Luo Haoxuan was going to fight to the death, his rushing figure suddenly twisted halfway, used the force to push off in the opposite direction, and abandoned his forward momentum without hesitation. Like an agile cheetah, he suddenly turned around and ran towards the inner room at an even faster speed!
He left behind only a resolute silhouette and a hall full of astonished people.
