evil tycoon

The screams and wails inside the courtyard lasted only about ten breaths before abruptly ceasing.

Seven or eight people were lying on the ground, with no visible injuries, but upon closer inspection, their skin and flesh appeared somewhat shriveled.

Several of them seemed to still be alive, twitching weakly on the ground, exhaling more than inhaling.

Unexpected.

A rustling sound came from outside the courtyard.

next moment.

Swish!

A fierce wind swept through.

A giant rat, nearly as tall as a person, scurried into the yard. Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, a ghostly green light emanated from its eyes, which were as big as copper bells.

Glug glug!!

The giant rat made a strange noise from its mouth, then greedily pounced on it.

After finishing its meal here, the giant rat went to the next room and cleaned up the dozen or so corpses scattered all over the ground.

Not enough!

It seems that a lot of its blood essence was swallowed by something.

The giant rat shook its head, its nose twitched, and after sniffing carefully for a while, it suddenly looked in a certain direction, its eyes flashing with a green light like ghostly flames.

Swish!

It leaped up, creating a gust of cold wind as it sped away.

……

Lin Gang and his group of five initially stayed in the courtyard for more than an hour.

inside the house.

Han Ping'an is taking stock of the harvest.

The package contained a pile of loose silver, totaling about fifty or sixty taels.

The two small boxes, roughly estimated to contain around 700 taels of silver.

They've struck it rich.

"Ping An, you... how did you manage to get those people to fall down without even touching them?" Monkey couldn't help but ask.

Han Pingan glanced up and said calmly, "That's my trump card. Do you think I'd tell you?"

The monkey gave an embarrassed smile and could only bury its surprise and doubt in its heart.

His gaze fell on Lin Gang, and the monkey said, "Wake him up?"

"Um."

"Interrogate them a bit, and if they still won't talk, then forget it." Han Ping'an nodded slightly. Although he was curious, he didn't necessarily need to know.

The monkey nodded knowingly and slapped him across the face.

Then, with both hands moving simultaneously, his feet were also busy, aiming straight for Lin Gang's lower triangle area.

In a very short moment.

Lin Gang shuddered and opened his eyes with a "whoosh," clutching between his legs and rolling on the ground in pain.

Bang!

The monkey stepped on it and looked down at Lin Gang.

"Damn it, I've done so many things for you, and we've been friends for so many years. I even considered you my brother, and you actually betrayed me."

Lin Gang seemed to know he was doomed, and his face showed a sneer: "Idiot, a killer like you is my brother? I've never seen such a stupid killer as you."

One sentence seemed to have stepped on a monkey's tail, and he was so angry that he slapped it twice.

Lin Gang coughed up a pool of blood, his chest heaving violently.

Suppressing his murderous intent, the monkey coldly asked, "What's your relationship with the Snake Hand Gang?"

"I'll tell you if you beg me," Lin Gang chuckled arrogantly.

"Fuck you."

The monkey was furious, feeling not only humiliated but also ashamed of its own incompetence.

He glanced around the room, and his eyes lit up.

Bang!

The monkey casually snapped off a chair leg, walked up to Lin Gang, squatted down, and grinned: "You won't talk, huh?"

"You've probably never experienced being poked by a chair leg, have you?"

Han Ping'an stared wide-eyed, wondering why these words sounded like he had tasted them himself.

Lin Gang's expression changed drastically; his arrogant face vanished instantly, turning deathly pale.

"you……"

The monkey was incredibly decisive. It yanked Lin Gang over and stomped on him, gripping the chair leg, which was as thick as a forearm, with one hand, and chuckled menacingly.

"etc."

"stop."

"Stop it right now!"

Lin Gang panicked, screamed in terror, struggled desperately, and squeezed extremely tightly.

The more this happened, the more pleased and excited the monkey became.

"So you've finally met your match?"

"I don't want to know anymore."

"Wait a minute."

Han Pingan quickly stopped him, staring at Lin Gang and smiling, "Shall we talk?"

"Say it, I'll say it."

Lin Gang was impatient and spoke quickly: "I... I want to make money. I contacted Liu Chen and the others in private, and we hit it off immediately. In addition, the Black Tiger Gang has been losing several battles with the Snake Hand Gang recently, and the gang has been told to hold back. I felt something was wrong. It seems like the Black Tiger Gang has run into some trouble, so I decided to take a risk."

"If the Black Tiger Gang really comes to an end, I'll switch sides and join the Snake Hand Gang."

"Right here?"

Han Ping'an was taken aback.

Has the Black Tiger Gang run into trouble? Or is it just his own guess?

What kind of inside information is this?

He stared intently at Lin Gang, and didn't seem to be lying.

A thought flashed through his mind, and Han Ping'an sighed.

"The monkey is yours now."

"Hurry up, and don't make too much noise."

"Leave it to me."

The monkey grinned excitedly, turned around, and covered Lin Gang's mouth with one hand.

Han Ping'an's eye twitched; it was too much to bear.

He picked up the box and package, turned around, and left the house.

A suppressed, extremely painful whimpering sound quickly came from behind.

It was also mixed with the monkey's extremely gleeful, sinister laughter.

Swish swish! !

Han Pingan slowly raised his hand, and three bloodwing insects fell into his palm.

Its wings were adorned with eerie crimson patterns, and its mouthparts were as sharp as knives. Perched in his palm, it exuded an invisible, chilling, and ferocious aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

With continuous improvement, the Bloodwing Beetle's speed is terrifying. Coupled with its small and agile size, it is an excellent weapon for surprise attacks at night.

"Having swallowed the essence and blood of nearly twenty people at once, the improvement is indeed significant. With the current strength of the Bloodwing Insect, even a bite from a late-stage Bone Refinement cultivator would paralyze it."

There were several bone refiners among that group.

Of the five people, Lin Gang was the strongest, and he was the only one who was taken away, but the other four were also at the Bone Refinement stage.

Several of the Black Tiger Hall warriors they killed were also Bone Refining cultivators.

He didn't spare a drop of blood from his body.

This trip alone has already yielded a huge profit from the upgrade of the Bloodwing Beetle.

Not to mention the more than seven hundred taels of silver.

If the Black Tiger Gang discovers it tomorrow, although the bloodwing beetle didn't leave much of a mark, a careful inspection will still reveal small holes where its mouthparts pierced the beetle.

The sight of being devoured of blood essence was impossible to hide, but precisely because of this, the first suspicion would definitely be that some special demon was causing the trouble, or at the very least, the Snake Hand Gang.

I can't fathom how this has anything to do with the Zhengqi Street general store.

That night was anything but safe.

"Um?"

Han Ping'an frowned and looked outside.

Is it just my imagination?

He vaguely sensed an indescribable aura flash by.

hum!

The three bloodwinged insects in his palm suddenly flapped their wings and took flight, instinctively sensing the danger and sending a signal to Han Ping'an.

"not good."

Han Ping'an's expression changed drastically. He instantly dropped the box and package in his hand and sprang up like lightning.

"Monkey, someone's here."

With a low shout, his body was enveloped in a stream of Yin energy. As he twisted his body, his right hand bent and opened, unleashing the power of his blood hand without reservation. His claw stirred up a surging, fierce, and ruthless force, with blood gushing out and his five fingers shining brightly, as if they were cast from blood jade.

Pfft!

Squeak squeak~~

Painful screams followed one after another.

Han Ping'an was startled; it was a huge rat.

The rat has become a spirit.

Wait a minute... isn't this the culprit that caused the original owner's death?

The scents buried deep in memory overlapped at this moment.
