Chapter 18

Li Hua's sudden attack immediately threw the Green Bamboo Gang members into disarray.

Most of them were only street brawlers, and how many had ever seen a scene where someone came in and started killing right away?

Li Hua's short sword thrust, jabbed, slashed, and parried with ruthless precision, and a single person managed to intimidate the reinforcements.

"These useless scum!"

Dai Chong almost spat blood when he saw this scene, never expecting his subordinates to be so useless. So many people together, and they couldn't even stop one person.

"Capture this kid first!"

Dai Chong had four people with him.

These four had been with Dai Chong for several years, all of them having killed in gang wars and seen blood. They wouldn't hold back.

The four immediately drew their weapons and charged at Su Xin.

Dai Chong's drum-shaped golden hammer was wielded with great force, and a single hit could either kill or severely injure.

Su Xin raised his thin sword to block, quickly fending off two long knives.

Dai Chong's massive hammer was already coming down, and Su Xin had to retreat, kicking a gambling table in front of Dai Chong, which was shattered by the hammer.

Dai Chong's strength was equivalent to that of a late-stage martial artist, and with four skilled gang members, Su Xin was immediately on the defensive, barely able to hold his ground.

"Kids, you dare to come and assassinate me with just the two of you? You must be tired of living!"

Dai Chong, who had roamed the江湖 (jianghu) for over a decade, even slept with his weapon, and two juniors dared to assassinate him in broad daylight. It was truly absurd.

Su Xin's face was expressionless, and although he was struggling, there was no trace of anxiety on his face.

At this moment, Li Hua had already fought his way to near Su Xin, throwing the box containing the heavy sword to him.

"Take the sword!"

Su Xin leaped up, slicing the box open with one stroke, and grasped the heavy sword, immediately charging towards Dai Chong.

Earlier, Su Xin had been suppressed by Dai Chong mainly because his weapon was inadequate.

The thin sword, though sharp, was too fragile, and with four gang members restraining him, he didn't dare to engage Dai Chong head-on.

The drum-shaped golden hammer weighed over a hundred pounds, and a few strikes would likely destroy his thin sword.

Now with the heavy sword in hand, Su Xin immediately unleashed the Great Mount Sword Technique, the sword light resembling a dragon, dense and impenetrable. The heavy sword was wielded without a single gap.

Dai Chong's drum-shaped golden hammer crashed down, but was immediately deflected by the heavy sword.

The four gang members were even worse off. Without internal energy or Dai Chong's innate strength, they were far inferior to Su Xin in terms of power and were easily knocked away.

"What kind of sword technique is this?"

Dai Chong, though not at the late-stage, was a martial artist who had cultivated internal energy and could see that Su Xin's sword technique was extraordinary.

The Great Mount Sword Technique was simple yet complex, and once defensive, even someone stronger than Su Xin would find it hard to break through, let alone Dai Chong.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

The sound of metal clashing continuously rang out.

The heavy sword was powerful, and each clash with the drum-shaped golden hammer was evenly matched.

The four gang members tried to help, but the Great Mount Sword Technique was impenetrable. With their strength, they didn't even have the chance to make Su Xin dodge.

As the sword and hammer clashed, Su Xin's left hand suddenly extended, pointing directly at Dai Chong's dantian.

The hammer handle of the drum-shaped golden hammer barely deflected the sword, and cold sweat immediately broke out on Dai Chong's forehead.

Fortunately, he had extended the hammer handle to half a person's height for convenience, which allowed him to block the sword. Otherwise, that sword would have pierced his dantian!

"Left-hand sword! What a ruthless left-hand sword!"

Those who dared to use the left-hand sword were always unconventional and ruthless.

Especially when Su Xin had been using the Great Mount Sword Technique with his right hand, and suddenly a ruthless left-hand sword appeared, it was almost impossible to guard against.

"Quickly go and call all my subordinates. Today, we must keep these two in Yongle坊 (Fang), dead or alive!" Dai Chong shouted at the four gang members.

He now felt the difficulty of dealing with Su Xin. A moment's carelessness could cost him his life. Forget capturing them alive; he had to kill them first!

As the four left, Dai Chong immediately took a defensive stance.

The drum-shaped golden hammer was powerful, and it didn't give Su Xin's left-hand sword a chance to sneak in.

Meanwhile, Li Hua was also in trouble.

Though he was skilled, he was a street fighter and hadn't cultivated internal energy, making him much weaker than Su Xin.

The Green Bamboo Gang members, though not a match for him individually, surrounded him with a dozen people, neither attacking strongly nor letting him support Su Xin, leaving him helpless.

Dai Chong sneered, "Kid, put down your sword now and tell me who sent you to kill me, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, when my subordinates arrive, you know the consequences."

"Do you remember the Flying Eagle Gang members your Green Bamboo Gang beat to death yesterday?"

Dai Chong's face showed disbelief, "You're from the Flying Eagle Gang? Impossible! The Flying Eagle Gang wouldn't start another war with us now, and your strength is already on par with the head, but I've never seen you in the Flying Eagle Gang!"

"Clang!"

Su Xin's left-hand sword suddenly stabbed out but was still deflected by Dai Chong.

Though his sword was fast, Dai Chong was not slow.

Moreover, Dai Chong knew Su Xin's left-hand sword was ruthless and was always on guard, not taking his eyes off Su Xin's left hand even while speaking.

"Trying to sneak an attack? You're too inexperienced!"

Dai Chong smiled coldly, but before his smile faded, Su Xin's right-hand sword had already pierced his abdomen, even faster than the thin sword!

"I never said I was good at the left-hand sword," Su Xin said lightly.

Jing Wu Ming's sword was known for its ferocity, sharpness, and unpredictability. Since his debut, he had always used the left-hand sword.

But in "Border Town Sword Sound," Jing Wu Ming once said that after his left hand was broken, everyone thought he was finished, but those people all died from his right-hand sword!

Jing Wu Ming's right-hand sword was stronger than his left, and for the past month, Su Xin had been practicing the right-hand sword!

Dai Chong's eyes showed reluctance, but the wound from the heavy sword was as large as a palm, and the massive blood loss left him with no strength.

"Let me tell you one last thing. I really am from the Flying Eagle Gang, and I came to avenge the member who was beaten to death."

With a swing of his left-hand sword, Dai Chong's head was in Su Xin's hand!

The Green Bamboo Gang members, who had been fighting Li Hua, immediately stopped.

With their leader dead, why continue fighting?

Without a word, they turned and ran.

Dai Chong was just their leader, not their father. With the leader dead, why should they fight a fierce person like Su Xin?

Su Xin didn't chase them but suddenly stopped one person, smiling, "Zhang Hong?"

The person Su Xin stopped was Zhang Hong, who had beaten his subordinate to death.

At the start of the fight, this guy had hidden to the side, planning to attack from the shadows.

But now, seeing Dai Chong killed by Su Xin and hearing that Su Xin was there to avenge the beaten member, he was terrified.

"No, not me!" Zhang Hong waved his hands, his face pale.

"Oh, it wasn't you then." Su Xin smiled and waved.

Zhang Hong, feeling relieved, turned to run, but the next moment, his head was in Su Xin's hand!

Su Xin wrapped the two heads in a tablecloth and saw Li Hua walking over with a complex expression, his usual deadpan face showing a hint of hesitation.

"Boss Su, I was wrong about you before," Li Hua said with difficulty.

Li Hua's words were vague, but Su Xin knew what he meant. He was referring to the words he had said at the entrance of Hu San's house.

Actually, Su Xin hadn't taken Li Hua's words to heart. Through Huang Bingcheng's information and his interactions with Li Hua, he had already guessed Li Hua's character.

His temper was bad, but he only respected those stronger than him.

Hu San was stronger, so he was willing to be a henchman for Hu San, not seeking power but the chance to fight.

Ji Gang wasn't as strong as him, so even though they had the same status, Li Hua didn't respect Ji Gang.

The same went for the previous Su Xin. Even though he was Hu San's son and a junior leader in the Flying Eagle Gang, Li Hua didn't think much of him.

Only now, seeing Su Xin's strength, did he truly respect him as his boss. Su Xin was now worthy of being called "Boss Su" by Li Hua.

Su Xin patted his shoulder, "You said you were wrong before, but it's fine as long as you're not wrong now. Let's go, if we wait for the Green Bamboo Gang to gather, we won't be able to leave."

As the head of the Green Bamboo Gang, Dai Chong had hundreds of people in Yongle Fang. Even if they were brave, being surrounded by so many would mean certain death.

"I hope I'm not wrong about you. Following Hu San, I haven't seen blood for a long time." Li Hua's eyes sparkled with excitement, as if only swords and blood could interest him.

Su Xin walked out of the gambling den with the heads, "Don't worry, there will be many more opportunities like this. Just be prepared."

Now, Su Xin was also interested in Li Hua.

A person who was only interested in swords and killing, how did he develop such a personality?

Someone like Li Hua shouldn't be in a small gang; he should be on the front lines in the army.

The two walked out leisurely. Half an hour later, the Green Bamboo Gang's reinforcements arrived.

What awaited them were just two headless bodies.
