Chapter 24 The Cicada Awaits
Lu Chen was truly moved.
He hid in the corner, watching Wang Bao run away in front of him, and then watching Li Mantun chase after him with a stick.
The two people disappeared quickly.
Lu Chen looked at the henchmen.
A dozen or so members of the Black Stick Gang were beating up several members of the Green Bamboo Gang.
Li Mantun has already killed two; the rest have no chance of survival.
Lu Chen immediately pulled a black cloth from his pocket and tied it as he ran forward.
After being tied up, he had a handful of iron pellets in his hand.
"Whoosh!"
He aimed at the back of a person's head and threw it directly at them.
The iron pellet was incredibly heavy. Under Lu Chen's powerful arm strength, it transformed into a violent weapon carrying terrifying kinetic energy, slamming into the back of his head.
"Snapped!"
His brain caved in. He was fighting with the Green Bamboo Gang members when he suddenly collapsed forward, convulsed, and died.
The commotion left everyone else somewhat bewildered.
Lu Chen wasn't going to wait. The iron pellets in his hand rained down like a storm of pear blossoms, each one precisely targeting its own objective.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Several times in succession, the sound of the head hitting the iron ball was very crisp.
Like the first unlucky guy, several of them died a very bad death.
The two remaining members of the Green Bamboo Gang were covered in wounds and blood, some so deep that bone was visible.
They had given up hope, but now things have taken a turn for the better.
Someone has come to rescue us!
They were energized.
Several members of the Black Gang had already spotted Lu Chen, their faces filled with murderous intent.
"Kill him!"
Several men, wielding gleaming steel knives, charged forward with menacing intent.
After Lu Chen finished throwing the iron pellets, he switched to throwing knives.
"Whoosh!"
A knife plunged into the eye socket of one of the thugs, its tip emerging from the back of his head.
Another stab, straight into his throat. The thug let out a desperate "hoarse" roar, clutching his neck as blood flowed from between his fingers, before collapsing in despair.
The last person had rushed in front of Lu Chen and raised his long sword high.
The smooth blade reflected a cold light.
Lu Chen's expression remained unchanged. He took a step back, dodging the slash that was aimed directly at him, and then punched the knife-wielder in the chest.
"Snap!"
Under this fierce force, the knife-wielder was sent flying several meters backward, and countless bones in his chest were shattered.
Pink blood and fragments of internal organs oozed from the corner of his mouth. His limbs twitched and struggled, his head lolled to the side, and he died with his eyes open.
Having dealt with all the members of the Black Stick Gang, Lu Chen looked at the two members of the Green Bamboo Gang and took out two iron beads.
The two members of the Green Bamboo Gang were overjoyed.
To everyone's surprise, what seemed like a hopeless situation turned out to be a survival story!
With tears in their eyes, they said, "Brother, thank you for saving our lives..."
"Pfft!"
Two soft sounds.
The iron beads in Lu Chen's hand were already embedded in the eye sockets of two remaining members of the Green Bamboo Gang, like two black gems.
The two men didn't finish expressing their gratitude.
"You're welcome!"
Lu Chen looked around the street; apart from him, no one else was standing on the ground.
He moved swiftly, searching the corpse from head to tail, retrieving his throwing knives and iron beads. He wiped himself clean with the clothes of a corpse on the ground, then picked up a knife and ran off in the direction Wang Bao and Li Mantun had gone.
As he ran, he checked his haul.
[Under the host's influence, the fates of Li San, Wang Chen, and nine others have changed.]
[Green Bamboo Gang member dies, life points +180]
Eight members of the Black Gang have died; Life stat increased by 640, Luck stat increased by 8.
Total: 820
He couldn't help but smile.
Make big money!
Moreover, the Black Stick Gang's attack on the Green Bamboo Gang at this time was clearly not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather a premeditated plan.
Perhaps something has happened at the headquarters of the Green Bamboo Gang!
As he pondered this, he followed the trail left by Li Mantun.
I'll give myself a little something extra while I'm at it.
The art of dissecting an ox with a knife, perfected through refinement!
Life value -800.
Because the "Dissecting Ox Knife Technique" could only be cultivated up to the Refining stage, this time, with the added points, he only upgraded it to the Perfect Refining stage.
If you want to upgrade further, you'll need to use luck points.
"I currently have 9 points in my Luck stat. I wonder if I can use it to break through the limit?"
He attempted to use numerical values to break the upper limit of the "dissecting an ox" technique.
The system indicated that the attempt failed.
You need at least 10 points to break the limit.
Just 1 points away!
"It seems like the members of the Black Gang all provide luck stats, so we have no choice but to kill Li Mantun!"
A murderous glint appeared in Lu Chen's eyes.
There were no traces ahead.
However, Lu Chen had already heard the sound.
"Li Mantun, if you dare kill me, my brother will never forgive you!"
"what!"
A scream came from Wang Bao.
Lu Chen quickly ran over.
This leopard is at the Iron Bone Realm; killing him will grant you a significant amount of life points!
We can't waste it!
If he loses his head, he won't be able to eat all day!
He had already seen the pitiful Wang Bao.
His legs appeared to be broken, and he was crawling on the ground.
A trail of blood trailed behind him.
Li Mantun followed behind Wang Bao with a sinister grin on his face, holding a stick in both hands. He raised it high and smashed it down on Wang Bao's ankle.
It was smashed into minced meat.
Bones and bits of flesh flew out, splattering bright red blood and white bone fragments all around.
Lu Chen found the scene somewhat eerie.
This Li Mantun truly lives up to the cruel, vicious, and perverted description Qian Gui gave him.
A satisfied smile graced his face, his lips almost reaching his ears, and he took a deep breath with his eyes slightly closed and his face turned upwards.
"That's the taste! Blood! Fear! Terror! Hatred! Hahahaha! Get out of here, get out of here again!"
He looked completely insane.
Wang Bao was in so much pain that he seemed to have lost all feeling. His arms trembled as he moved forward little by little. His face was ashen, and beads of sweat mixed with blood were on his forehead. He looked utterly miserable.
Lu Chen couldn't stand it anymore.
Is this Li Mantun a super hero?
Such torment.
He took out a throwing knife.
"who!?"
Li Mantun suddenly turned his head, his triangular eyes gleaming with a chilling light.
The knife in Lu Chen's hand flew out like a bullet, the sharp blade piercing the body.
Li Mantun was extremely fast; the bronze staff struck the tail of the throwing knife, but it still pierced his arm.
He instantly flew into a rage, pulled the throwing knife from his arm, and blood flowed freely.
"You're asking for it!"
He roared, like a giant bear, and furiously swung the stick at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen moved nimbly and took a step back, then stepped to the side, slicing down the stick with his steel knife, intending to sever Li Mantun's hand.
Li Mantun's eyes widened, he pulled his arm back, and the head of the stick was aimed at Lu Chen's head again.
The sound of the stick cutting through the air made Lu Chen narrow his eyes. With a flick of his wrist, Lu Chen used the eighth move, "Tendon Picking," to flick and tap the stick, dissipating the immense force. He then changed his move again, gathering all his strength for the sixth move, "Spine Breaking," and slashed at the stick.
Li Mantun was only at the mid-stage of the Refining Realm. Although he was naturally strong and had a powerful physique, he was still no match for Lu Chen, who was cheating. With the Refining Realm at its peak, his body was strong and his strength was abundant. At this moment, with his powerful brute force, he actually knocked the stick away.
Li Mantun's hands were torn apart by a tremendous force, and blood flowed uncontrollably.
He screamed, his hands trembling, and a hint of fear finally appeared on his hideous face.
He can't beat this person!
Without a second thought, he turned and ran.
Lu Chen remained expressionless, taking a quick step forward. His sword technique changed again, from slashing to stabbing, and he thrust forward with the fourth move: Heart-Piercing.
"Pfft!"
Li Mantun coughed up a mouthful of blood and looked down at the tip of the knife in front of his chest.
Lu Chen drew his knife and struck again, the second move being a neck cut.
"puff!"
The enormous head fell off.
One strike and he was beheaded.
[Under the host's influence, Li Mantun's fate has changed.]
[Hit Value +240]
[Luck value +3]
Lu Chen stared at the luck value of 3 points, somewhat surprised.
What exactly did Li Mantun do? Everyone else got 1 point, but he got 3!
He walked up to Wang Bao.
"You, how do you know how to butcher a cow... You're the one who killed Cheng Datou, and you're the one who's been causing all this trouble these past few days?"
Wang Bao was extremely weak. Looking at Lu Chen, he couldn't understand what the Green Bamboo Gang had done to offend him, that they would treat them like this.
"What have we done to offend you?"
He lay on the ground, his lips pale and bloodless, and asked in a low voice.
"Because of ten taels, oh, fifteen taels of silver, your Green Bamboo Gang wanted to sell my ancestral home and my sister. Isn't it normal for me to deal with you?"
Lu Chen said, holding the knife.
The knife tip was still bleeding.
Wang Bao's eyes suddenly widened.
He's figured everything out!
That's it!
Just because of fifteen taels of silver?
Hehe, hehe!
A mocking smile appeared on his face as he closed his eyes.
Lu Chen stabbed him with the knife.
[Under the host's influence, Wang Bao's fate has changed.]
[Hit Value +180]
A search revealed that Wang Bao had not a single penny on him.
"Why would you go to a brothel if you have no money? Oh, is it your family's? Never mind then!"
With his hands covered in blood, Lu Chen went to Li Mantun's side and searched him, but found nothing there either.
"You didn't bring any secret manuals, and you didn't even bring any money?"
He wiped his blood-stained hands on Li Mantun, threw the knife on the ground, picked up his own throwing knife, wiped it clean, and turned to leave.
He made a fortune from this.
