I assembled the strongest swordsman group.

Everyone calmly planned their own escape route.

Clearly, they are not only skilled at fighting in groups, but also highly experienced in how to escape.

Suddenly, Qingdeng heard a dense sound of footsteps coming from his side.

Looking in the direction of the sound, a large group of people appeared at the intersection to the side.

These people, though of different body types, all have one thing in common: intricate tattoos are faintly visible on the skin of their bodies exposed outside their clothes.

There are always people who complain that my spitting image is too short, so I've been trying to update it every day for the past few days.

Those readers who always say they want to see action scenes, isn't it reasonable to give this book some monthly votes today? (Leopard's self-righteousness.jpg)

Please vote with monthly tickets! Please vote with recommendation tickets! (Leopard crying.jpg)

Honestly, action movie enthusiasts need to step up their game!

Look at those "sexy fans" who love watching scenes of girls getting close! Whenever there's a sexy plot, they not only interact enthusiastically in the comments section but also actively vote with their monthly tickets. They're happy watching it, and I'm happy too.

It's one thing for the "action movie fans" not to comment, but they're not even actively voting either. It really hurts my feelings (crying face).

This is not something I'm making up; if you don't believe me, just look at the previous chapters.

The comments section was quite lively when he was getting close to Sanako and Souji, such as the chapters where Souji's true gender was discovered.

Let's look at the chapters that feature action scenes, such as the one from not long ago.

Action movie fans need to be more enthusiastic and proactive!

Chapter 318 Shocking the Entire Audience! Three Arrows, Three Hits! Qing Deng's Archery Skills Show Their Power for the First Time!

"Ah! I see it! Over there! Over there!"

"I saw them! They're killing and robbing again!"

"Quick! Chase after them! Chase after them!"

……

The Yakuza who had suddenly appeared scattered and split into several groups to chase after the fleeing robbers.

Watching the Yakuza's actions, Qingdeng couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

If you had to describe the Yakuza's actions in one word, it would be "professional".

Their ability to react quickly and their tactics for chasing down robbers are both remarkable.

In addition, the equipment is also quite sophisticated.

The prison had all the necessary catching tools, except for the absence of the symbol of government security personnel: the ten-handed slingshot.

Upon seeing this group of Yakuza, who were no different from a professional police force, the robbers immediately revealed a panic and fear that they had not shown when fighting Qingdeng and Zanako.

"Damn it! It's the Qingxia Alliance! The Qingxia Alliance is here! Let's go!"

Amidst the chaos and commotion, such a shout rang out.

In no time, not a single robber remained in Qingdeng's sight.

The Yakuza who had suddenly appeared to hunt down the robbers have also largely disappeared.

The shouts of battle and the sounds of running gradually faded into the distance.

At the moment, Qing Deng had the important task of "bringing back Otsuki Tsuneji," so he didn't have the time to chase after the fleeing bandits.

Qingdeng took out a few sheets of paper from his pocket, wiping away the bloodstains and fat remaining on the blade of the Dingguishen Blade while quietly watching a young man walking quickly toward them with a surprised expression.

"Hmm? Lord Niou?"

His neatly shaved head; his well-maintained, glossy hair; his clean-shaven face; and two swords, one long and one short, at his waist.

He was just a well-dressed, standard young samurai—that's what anyone would think, before seeing the vibrant tattoos peeking out from his collar and cuffs…

It's not surprising that the young man recognized Qing Deng.

To date, Qing Deng has participated in countless events where he has appeared in public.

Therefore, it is not surprising that one could recognize what the famous Niou looks like through some means.

"Who are you?"

Qing Deng asked in a deep voice.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I was being rude. I completely forgot to introduce myself."

The young man cleared his throat and puffed out his chest slightly.

"Lord Ren-ou, I am Zodari, the leader of the Fourth Division of the Qingxia Alliance."

The young man, who called himself Zodari, was very polite to Qing Deng.

Not only did he address him as "Lord Ren-ou" repeatedly, but he also used the highest level of honorifics. His polite manner made it impossible to imagine that such a refined young man was actually a Yakuza... and moreover, the leader of the Qingxia Alliance...

Upon hearing the name "Qingxia Alliance," Qing Deng couldn't help but frown slightly.

This name is familiar to law enforcement officers in all public security departments, including Qingdeng, Fengxingsuo "Sanhui", and Huofu Thief Reform.

The Qingxia Alliance is a subordinate organization of the Qingshui Clan.

Although the name contains the word "chivalrous," the functions and work undertaken by the Qingxia Alliance have absolutely nothing to do with the word "chivalrous."

In short, the Qingxia Alliance is the "thug department" of the Qingshui Clan, specializing in fighting, killing, and other dirty and arduous tasks. The organization's members are mostly down-on-their-luck ronin forced into the yakuza world due to starvation.

Upon learning that the young man before him was actually a member of the infamous Qingxia Alliance, Ootsuki Minoru's expression changed, and Sanako's facial features also subconsciously tightened slightly.

"Lord Niou, are you and your companions alright?"

As he asked this question, Zodari raised his chin slightly, his gaze passing over Aoto's shoulder and striking at Ootsuki Minoru behind Aoto.

"Your companion... seems to be quite unwell."

Upon hearing this, Qing Deng turned around and saw that Ootsuki Minoru was pale and unsteady on his feet, looking as if he had aged several years.

"Miss Otsuki, are you alright?"

Sanako reached out a hand and put it on Ootsuki Minoru's shoulder.

"I...I'm fine..."

Ootsuki Minoru put his hand to his forehead, forcing out an awkward, dry laugh.

"I'm just a little dizzy and nauseous... I'll feel better after a while..."

Grown in a greenhouse, Oozuki had never before witnessed the cruel scene of flesh flying and blood dripping.

That was the first time Ootsuki Minoru had ever seen a living person beheaded, the first time he had ever seen blood and shattered flesh splatter and scatter.

Ootsuki Minoru's mental fortitude was clearly not strong enough to remain calm after witnessing such a bloody scene for the first time.

In a sense, Ootsuki Shi's ability to only feel dizzy and nauseous without actually vomiting is already quite remarkable.

"It's good that you're alright."

Zodarison let out a long sigh of relief.

"The Great Western Society is notoriously cunning and treacherous. Tsk, I really want to wipe them out as soon as possible."

"The Great Western Association?"

Sanako blinked in confusion.

"Oh, those are the men who attacked you earlier. He's one of our colleagues."

Zodarison smiled and pointed to the tattoo that was sticking out of his neck—the meaning was self-evident.

Then, Zodari explained to Qing Deng and the others in a concise manner why the Daishi Society was there and why they were engaging in robbery.

The Great Western Association—Qingdeng had heard of this name.

This is the Yakuza organization that recently emerged.

Qingdeng didn't know much about the Daxi Society.

All we know is that their membership is around one hundred.

All we know is that they make a living by lending money at exorbitant interest rates and running brothels.

All I know is that they... perished in a yakuza battle two months ago.

The force that destroyed the Daisai-kai was the Shimizu clan.

"The leader of the Great Western Society is really blind, daring to steal business from our Qingshui Clan."

Zodari spoke eloquently.

"In order to teach this kind of unruly brute a lesson, and also to warn others, we wiped out the Daishi Society in one fell swoop one night two months ago."

"But who knew that not everyone was killed? A small group of survivors escaped."

"This remnant of the Great Western Society seems to be trying to make a comeback. They are robbing people and killing people to amass wealth."

"Renya... ah, that is, the casino with the best revenue under the rule of our Shimizu clan, is located nearby."

"So every day, many gamblers carrying huge sums of money appear in this area. These gamblers, who are always carrying money, are excellent 'fat sheep'."

"So, in order to amass wealth and to disgust us, the remnants of the Daisai Society have been frequenting this area recently. Whenever they see someone who looks like they're going to gamble at Renya, they immediately rush up and rob them."

"Their methods are extremely insidious and ruthless."

"Their usual tactic is to first pretend to talk to you and negotiate, saying things like 'If you want to live, leave your money behind.'"

"While people's attention is diverted, their accomplices lying in ambush nearby will immediately throw stones to injure them, and then the rest of the group will swarm in, kill them all, and take all the valuables."

Qing Deng recalled what had just happened—Zodarison was absolutely right, those robbers had indeed used such tactics.

As the burly man stepped forward to speak to Qingdeng, a number of stones suddenly flew out from both sides.

Anyone who reacts even slightly slower will definitely get their head smashed and bleed.

"The sabotage carried out by those remnants of the Daisai Society will not shake the strength of our Shimizu clan in the slightest, but their practice of specifically targeting 'gamblers who come to the Renya to gamble' has indeed had a certain impact on the Renya's business."

"Therefore, the higher-ups gave our Qingxia Alliance a death order: strengthen patrols around Renwu and completely wipe out the remnants of the Daxi Society within two months."
