After the family split up, I achieved martial arts sainthood.

The Green Forest Gang, the Green Robe Hall.

The spacious courtyard was home to many members of the Qinglin Gang.

Each of them held a sword, ready for battle as if facing a formidable enemy.

It was as if, at the slightest command, they would swarm out of the courtyard and charge outside.

In the front hall of the compound, Lei Tong sat at the head of the table, solemnly wiping his sword.

As he wiped it, the copper ring on the back of the knife swayed, making a tinkling sound.

Several stewards sat in the hall, and upon hearing the sound of the brass rings, they all became solemn and eager to get started.

The atmosphere in the hall fell silent for a moment, a silence that felt rather oppressive.

This atmosphere lasted for quite a while, until Lei Tong finished wiping his sword.

"What time is it?"

Sheathing his sword, Lei Tong looked at the steward in the hall and asked.

The apprentices at Zhenwei Martial Arts School have been hanging up for quite some time now, haven't they?

"Master Lei, it's 15 PM."

A manager hurriedly replied.

"Fifteen minutes left?"

Lei Tong's eyebrows were half-closed, and his eyes held a hint of sinister intent.

So much time has passed, and the murderer who killed Cao Bao still hasn't come?

Are they planning to sit idly by and watch their fellow disciples die?

Or perhaps the killer isn't a current disciple of Zhenwei Martial Arts School?

Lei Tong, supporting the sword lying across his knees, felt his mind in turmoil.

"Master, time's almost up. Shall we kill them?"

Time passed quietly. One of the stewards glanced at the sky outside the hall and suddenly stood up to ask Lei Tong a question.

"kill!"

Lei Tong responded without hesitation, his voice cold.

"What if the owner of Zhenwei Martial Arts School comes..."

The manager was somewhat worried that this move would provoke the displeasure of the museum owner, Yang Wei.

"Hmph, it's better that he's here!"

Lei Tong sneered, "If he doesn't come, he's an outsider, and I can't control him. But if he does come, it means he cares about these good-for-nothings, and then I'll have something to control him."

"At that point, I'll just have to do whatever I want with him."

It's not scary to be strong; what's truly terrifying is having no attachments.

The saying "Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who wear shoes" applies here.

Once a person has something to worry about, they become vulnerable in every way.

If you can find someone's weakness, even the strongest person will have to kneel down.

"Master, he is a Qi Creation Realm expert."

The person in charge was somewhat wary.

"The gang leader is also at the Qi Creation Realm!"

Lei Tong gave a dismissive snort, "What are you afraid of?"

"Walk!"

Lei Tong grabbed his sword, flicked his sleeves, stood up, and walked towards the main gate of the hall.

Open the bow without turning back the arrow.

Things have come to this point; if he doesn't kill someone, the reputation of the Qinglin Gang will be ruined.

Several stewards stood up, drew their swords, and followed.

Under the collective gaze of the gang members in the courtyard, they arrived at the main gate of the hall.

In front of the gate stands a row of elevated structures.

Above the elevated structure, a dozen or so Zhenwei Martial Arts School students were bound hand and foot and suspended high up.

An hour was about to pass, under the late autumn sun.

The apprentices all showed signs of chapped cheeks and lips.

Each of them was listless and dispirited, no longer displaying the initial struggle and cries for justice.

Having lost their will to fight, they spun in the air, lifeless, like pieces of dried meat and corpses hanging there.

Apart from the Qinglin Gang members standing in rows guarding the main hall, there were no other civilians on the street in front of the hall.

The onlookers gathered at other street corners a few hundred meters away.

As a result, the atmosphere in front of the hall was quite tranquil.

"Master, it's time!"

One of the stewards glanced at the sky and then looked at Lei Tong, who was standing with his sword in his hand, and gestured.

An hour has passed since the announcement was made.

However, the murderer who killed Cao Bao still has not shown up.

Lei Tong frowned, glanced around the streets, and then said coldly, "Kill!"

Do you really think he's just joking around?

"yes!"

The manager nodded in acceptance and then waved to the gang members stationed in front of the overpass.

The guards turned around and lowered a Zhenwei Martial Arts School apprentice down from the overpass.

Then they were escorted and made to kneel in front of the hall entrance.

One of the gang members drew his sword and stepped forward with a cold expression.

"No! No! It has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me!"

"Brother Lei, I didn't kill Brother Bao, I really didn't kill him!"

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."

The chosen apprentice immediately struggled desperately, crying out in terror, tears streaming down his face.

However, the members of the Qinglin Gang remained unmoved, forcing him to bow his head and pressing it down.

They tore open his shirt to expose his neck.

The gang member with the knife walked over, placed the blade against the apprentice's neck, and prepared to strike.

The icy touch of the blade sent shivers down the apprentice's spine, raising goosebumps all over his neck.

The apprentices cried out louder and struggled more fiercely.

However, with his body and head held down, he couldn't break free at all.

"kill!"

As time passed, with a command from the steward, the gang members, who had been waiting in ambush, raised their swords high and slashed down with all their might.

"what!"

The apprentice screamed in terror, and the crowd watching from afar fell silent in horror.

The timid one instinctively covered his eyes, not daring to look for another second.

Lei Tong's eyes were cold as he watched his apprentice's body being torn apart, showing no pity whatsoever.

It was as if they were killing not a person, but an animal.

"Master! Master! Spare his life!"

However, just as the raised blade was about to forcefully sever the apprentice's head, a shout broke the silence.

"Buzz!"

The sharp broadsword trembled violently and stopped abruptly just half a foot away from the apprentice's neck.

Lei Tong, who had been watching coldly, suddenly darkened his face and looked in the direction of the shout with a sinister gaze.

All the managers in the room had their hands on their knife hilts, and the gang members inside and outside the hall were all on high alert, drawing their swords and ready to strike.

The atmosphere in the arena did not relax; on the contrary, it became even more tense and oppressive.

The shouts continued unabated, coming from the distant streets.

Several members of the Green Forest Gang rushed over in a panic, as if they had seen a ghost.

"Master! Master! Don't kill him! Don't kill him!"

Upon arriving at the front of the hall, several gang members hurriedly knelt down and called out repeatedly.

Lei Tong's face was gloomy and terrifying.

The look in their eyes turned fierce.

He was like a ferocious beast that would devour anyone who dared to eat him, as if he wanted to swallow his gang members whole.

"Unless you can give a valid reason, you will all die!"

Lei Tong, his hand on his sword, gave a sinister sneer to his gang members.

The chilling voice made the gang members turn pale and tremble with fear.

"Master, he's here! He's here!"

Several gang members hurriedly explained, "The person is here, that person is here, Master."

"Where is he?"

Lei Tong raised his eyebrows and his face suddenly lit up with joy.

"I don't know, I don't know right now. We were patrolling over there when he suddenly attacked us from behind and then threatened us to deliver a message to you."

"What did you say?"

"He said...the gang leader will release the people now, immediately, right now. From now on, he will no longer target our Qinglin Gang. Otherwise, he will kill indiscriminately until our Qinglin Gang is wiped out."
