Although Meng Chong had slapped him, he did not dare to utter a single word of complaint.
He was not one of those ordinary gang members who were full of enthusiasm and knew nothing. Having been in the Flying Eagle Gang for so long, he knew who he could provoke and who he could not.
The power of the Three Heroes Association was evident to all. Even the current Su Xin, let alone Sha Feiying, could not afford to provoke them!
"Old Huang, what's going on here?" A voice suddenly came from outside.
Huang Bingcheng inwardly cursed, turned around, and saw Li Hua, who had just returned from patrolling outside.
He knew Li Hua well. Li Hua looked down on everyone, even the former Tiger San Ye, but only Su Xin had truly won his respect.
This man was capable of anything.
Seeing the injuries on Huang Bingcheng's face, Li Hua's eyes immediately filled with a cold, murderous intent.
He was indifferent by nature, and in the entire Flying Eagle Gang, there were only two people he cared about: the boss, Su Xin, and Huang Bingcheng, who he interacted with the most.
In his heart, he had already considered Huang Bingcheng as his brother.
Li Hua turned his gaze to Meng Chong and the others.
He didn't need to ask to know that these outsiders were responsible.
The few people who had come with Meng Chong were not just there to recruit; they were also responsible for protecting Meng Chong's safety.
Li Hua had killed many people, and he naturally exuded a cold, murderous aura. As soon as it appeared, it made them wary.
Meng Chong naturally felt this murderous intent, but he was not the least bit afraid. Instead, he burst out laughing.
"Great! You guys in the Flying Eagle Gang are really bold! Not only did you dare to stop me, but you even dared to lay a hand on me. If you dare to move a finger today, do you think I won't slaughter all of Su Xin's subordinates? Even Sha Feiying wouldn't dare to say a word!"
"Fine, if you have the guts, try it!" The door to the hall was pushed open, and Su Xin walked out.
The moment Su Xin appeared, the few people who had come with Meng Chong immediately became wary.
They were all early-stage martial artists, but in Su Xin, they sensed a deep threat and could not discern his true strength.
In fact, Su Xin had long been aware of what was happening outside, but he could not intervene.
He was at a critical moment in advancing to the middle-stage of the innate realm. Suddenly stopping would not only ruin all his efforts but could also result in injury due to the reverse flow of true qi.
So he had to calm down and focus on unblocking the seventy-two acupoints, making his body's acupoints cycle continuously in the pattern of the seventy-two earthly branches, finally breaking through to the middle-stage of the innate realm.
But as soon as he came out, he heard Meng Chong's arrogant words.
He naturally knew about the Three Heroes Association, but even if they offered a high price, he would never join them.
He still had a mission to complete, and joining the Three Heroes Association would mean facing the punishment for mission failure, which would be too much of a loss.
Even if Su Xin tried to persuade him, he would not join, let alone now that Meng Chong had hit Huang Bingcheng.
Meng Chong looked at Su Xin coldly and said sarcastically, "You, the great leader Su Xin, have quite a reputation. You didn't show up even after being invited three or four times."
"It wasn't I who invited you. If you're impatient, you can leave," Su Xin said calmly.
Meng Chong laughed in anger, "They say you, Su Xin, are arrogant, and today I've seen it for myself. But I'm not here to argue with you. The Three Heroes Association has taken a liking to you. As long as you join us, any conditions are up to you."
The few Three Heroes Association members who had come with Meng Chong immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Their leader had warned them to do everything possible to recruit Su Xin.
But they didn't expect Su Xin to stay hidden, and Meng Chong to lose his temper, making the atmosphere so tense from the start.
Fortunately, the young leader finally showed some sense, putting aside his grudges and focusing on the bigger picture, as they say, great men do not sweat the small stuff.
However, Meng Chong's next words made them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
Meng Chong's tone changed, "But your two subordinates have really annoyed me. Such blind people are not what the Three Heroes Association wants. Make them kneel and kowtow, and slap themselves ten times, and I'll let them join the Three Heroes Association with you."
Su Xin's subordinates immediately turned red-eyed, and the few Three Heroes Association members felt a chill.
Meng Chong was humiliating Su Xin to the extreme!
As a leader, if you can't protect your subordinates, it's the most disgraceful and shameful thing.
So, during the assassination of Dai Chong, if Su Xin had backed down and chosen to endure, he wouldn't have won the hearts of so many people. The same was true now.
If Su Xin made Huang Bingcheng and Li Hua kowtow and slap themselves to join the Three Heroes Association, his reputation would be completely ruined, and probably no more than twenty percent of his subordinates would be willing to go with him.
Who would follow a leader who sells out and humiliates his subordinates for his own benefit?
"If I don't want to join the Three Heroes Association?" Su Xin said calmly.
"Not join the Three Heroes Association?" Meng Chong's eyes filled with a cold, murderous intent: "Since you don't join the Three Heroes Association, you're not one of us. If you dare to be disrespectful to me, I'll slaughter all of your subordinates in Yongle Hall!"
Su Xin sighed. Was this a disaster from the heavens?
He was good at reading people, and Meng Chong was definitely not someone with a broad mind. When he said he would slaughter all of Su Xin's subordinates, Su Xin didn't take it as a joke.
The other party had the intention and the strength.
Even if he let him go today, Yongle Hall would not be at peace, and if he really let him go and endured this, the reputation he had built in the Flying Eagle Gang would be greatly diminished.
After all, a leader who endures humiliation and has no backbone is not worth following.
"Mr. Meng, you're forcing me, you're forcing me to kill you!" Su Xin sighed, making the few Three Heroes Association members immediately go on high alert, shielding Meng Chong in the middle.
But Meng Chong pushed them away and sneered, "You want to kill me? I'm standing here today, let's see if you have the guts to kill me!"
Su Xin shook his head, "The three leaders of the Three Heroes Association built such a great empire from scratch, and I, Su Xin, admire them very much. But unfortunately, you haven't inherited even a fraction of their wisdom.
Now, the Three Heroes Association is the strongest in Changning Prefecture. Why haven't they directly swallowed up other gangs? Because as soon as the Three Heroes Association says they want to dominate Changning Prefecture, the other three gangs and four associations will immediately put aside all their differences and unite.
As the saying goes, even a cornered rabbit will bite. Although the analogy isn't perfect, the meaning is clear: leave a way out for others, and don't push them to the brink, or you'll gain nothing.
Now that you've said you'll slaughter all of my subordinates in Yongle Hall, since I'm going to die anyway, why shouldn't I kill you? If I kill you now, I can at least take one person with me."
Su Xin's words were light, and he showed no murderous intent, but the few Three Heroes Association members were terrified. They quickly shielded Meng Chong, and one of them shouted, "Young Leader, run!"
But before his words were fully out, Su Xin had already moved.
The Extreme Hatred Palm! Hatred as deep as the sea!
Deep hatred, repaid with blood!
One of the Three Heroes Association members tried to block, but this palm directly severed his heart!
The Extreme Hatred Palm, death ends the hatred!
Meng Chong had brought five people, all of whom were early-stage martial artists. In the Flying Eagle Gang or the Green Bamboo Gang, they could have been major leaders, but now, Su Xin killed one with a single palm!
Su Xin took a step forward and was already in front of Meng Chong.
Although Meng Chong also had early-stage strength, his combat experience was extremely limited.
In the Three Heroes Association, he had participated in handling gang affairs, but he had never truly taken part in gang battles. Now, facing Su Xin's sudden attack, he even forgot how to draw his sword to counter.
But while he forgot, the others did not.
One of the members reacted quickly, drawing his waist sword and slashing at Su Xin.
His waist sword was a standard issue from the imperial court, the same type worn by Iron Heartless and his constables. Although it was small and light, it was very sharp and could be drawn quickly to handle emergencies.
But while he was fast, Su Xin was even faster.
He drew his left-hand sword but held it by the hilt, using the hilt to strike the waist sword, deflecting it away from himself, and it cut past his shoulder.
At the same time, Su Xin stepped sideways and punched with his right hand!
The Extreme Hatred Fist!
Hate! Hate! Hate! Hatred surging to the sky!
The member's chest caved in, and he flew backward.
"Clang!"
The cold, sharp sword was drawn again, but this time, the blade aimed at Meng Chong's neck!
At this critical moment, Meng Chong's potential seemed to be unleashed. He suddenly bent backward in an iron bridge, dodging the sword, but when he tried to draw his sword, he found it was missing.
He had not expected a fight on this trip, so he had not brought any weapons!
He tried to call for help from the other three members, but the remaining three, seeing Su Xin kill two with a single punch and a single palm, were already terrified.
The Three Heroes Association treated them well, but they were not willing to die for Meng Chong.
The sharp blade cut across Meng Chong's neck, and he instinctively dodged, but he felt a pain in his chest. Su Xin's sword had already pierced his heart!
Meng Chong fell with a look of不甘 (reluctance), and everyone in the room gasped in shock.
Huang Bingcheng felt grateful that Su Xin had stood up for him and killed Meng Chong, but he also felt as if the sky was falling.
To Changning Prefecture, the Three Heroes Association was the sky!
Compared to this, Su Xin's killing of Hou Tong was like swatting a fly. It was disgusting but had no real impact.
But this time, it could be fatal!
