“Weiyang, it's me.”
Jiang Wuming said, his figure flashed, and he reached Chu Weiyang’s side in one step.
Chu Weiyang was still holding the fruit knife, holding it to her own throat. A bloodstain appeared on her fair neck, and blood seeped out.
Earlier, when Jiang Wuming was slaughtering on the fishing boat's deck, Huang Xiaoxie had been trying to find a way to snatch the fruit knife from Chu Weiyang’s hand and execute her on the spot. However, Chu Weiyang refused to submit even to death, and due to nervousness, she had cut a small gash on her own neck.
“Weiyang, it’s alright now. With me and Uncle Chu here, no one can harm you. Put the knife down.”
Seeing the wound on Chu Weiyang’s neck and her action of holding the knife, Jiang Wuming realized something. He softly comforted Chu Weiyang.
“Okay… okay!”
Chu Weiyang subconsciously nodded, then trembled as she put down the fruit knife. Her delicate body was still trembling, and she couldn’t help but throw herself into Jiang Wuming’s embrace, hugging him tightly. She buried her head against his chest, trying to dispel the fear in her heart in this way.
“Weiyang, it’s alright.”
Jiang Wuming reached out, wrapped his arms around Chu Weiyang’s slender waist, and gently patted her fragrant shoulders, offering comfort.
He knew that the day’s events had left a huge psychological shadow on Chu Weiyang.
“Weiyang!”
Just then, Chu Wansong also arrived at the door of the lounge, shouted, and then rushed in front of Chu Weiyang with a face full of worry. “Are… are you alright?”
“Dad, I’m fine.”
Chu Weiyang moved her head from Jiang Wuming’s embrace, her face pale, and gently shook her head at Chu Wansong.
“It’s good that you’re fine, good that you’re fine!”
Hearing Chu Weiyang say she was fine, and seeing that she only had a shallow bloodstain on her neck, Chu Wansong was relieved.
“Uncle Chu, take Weiyang to the deck and wait for me. I’ll deal with them and come find you.”
Jiang Wuming released Chu Weiyang and said to Chu Wansong.
“Alright.”
Chu Wansong had initially wanted to personally kill Huang Xiong and his son Huang Xiaoxie. However, he also knew that Chu Weiyang had suffered a great fright tonight. The priority now was to comfort Chu Weiyang, and it was not suitable for Chu Weiyang to stay here any longer.
“Dad… Dad, what exactly happened? How did you get injured by him?!”
After Chu Wansong took Chu Weiyang away from the lounge, Huang Xiaoxie instinctively retreated in front of Huang Xiong, his heart filled with confusion, his face ashen, and residual shock.
Even at this moment, he was still shocked by the scene of Jiang Wuming injuring Huang Xiong earlier!
“You… you are the Hall Master of the Battle Dragon Hall?!”
Huang Xiong did not respond to Huang Xiaoxie. Instead, he endured his injuries, struggled to stand up, and stared intently at Jiang Wuming.
Jiang Wuming’s performance tonight had completely exceeded Huang Xiong’s expectations and imagination, bringing him unparalleled shock. However, he still maintained a sliver of calmness.
That sliver of calmness made him recall that the Hall Master of the Battle Dragon Hall had once come to Long Country for Jiang Wuming and engaged in a life-and-death battle with Liu Xin of the Liu family. He had ultimately killed Liu Xin, the absolute overlord among the Two-star War Gods, with the strength of a One-star War God!
This made him vaguely suspect that Jiang Wuming was the legendary Hall Master of the Battle Dragon Hall!
“Wha… What? He… He is the Hall Master of the Battle Dragon Hall?!”
Hearing Huang Xiong’s words, Huang Xiaoxie was once again stunned speechless.
A person’s reputation precedes them.
Over the past four years, the Battle Dragon Hall had gradually risen, and its Hall Master had become renowned in the underground world!
As the young master of the Hong faction, Huang Xiaoxie knew about the Battle Dragon Hall and its Hall Master!
In his heart, the Hall Master of the Battle Dragon Hall was an even more formidable and powerful figure than his father, Huang Xiong!
And now, Huang Xiong was claiming that Jiang Wuming was the Hall Master of the Battle Dragon Hall. How could this not shock Huang Xiaoxie?!
“Yes.”
Jiang Wuming said expressionlessly, admitting his identity very straightforwardly.
Creak!
Hearing Jiang Wuming’s answer, Huang Xiong’s heart trembled violently!
Although he had analyzed and deduced this point, hearing Jiang Wuming admit it in person still sent tidal waves through his heart!
The Hall Master of the Battle Dragon Hall ranked first on the Two-star War God list and was known as the nightmare of various underground forces!
Such a legendary figure was actually Jiang Wuming!
Moreover, the dignified Hall Master of the Battle Dragon Hall had joined the Qing faction and, under the guise of a Double Flower Red Stick of the Qing faction, participated in a life-and-death battle with a Double Flower Red Stick of the Hong faction.
And he had intended to use this battle as an opportunity to kill Jiang Wuming with Tiger’s help, fulfill his promise to Gu Tianlong, avenge himself for the past, and reciprocate the Jiang family.
Now, with Jiang Wuming revealing his true strength and his true identity surfacing, Huang Xiong felt that this matter was so absurd and laughable!
“You… How can you possibly be the Hall Master of the Battle Dragon Hall?!”
Huang Xiaoxie was completely dumbfounded.
He had not personally witnessed Jiang Wuming slaughtering on the deck, nor did he possess Huang Xiong’s meticulous mind.
Under these circumstances, the shock this information brought him was far greater than that experienced by Huang Xiong!
“Master Jiang, the Hall Master of the Battle Dragon Hall, it was I, Huang Xiong, who failed to recognize your eminence and offended you. Please show mercy and spare the lives of my son and me.
I promise that upon my return, I will immediately hand over all the industries of the Hong faction to Wansong without reservation, and then take my family and leave Long Country, never to set foot in Long Country again!”
Immediately, before Huang Xiaoxie could recover from his shock, Huang Xiong suddenly bowed ninety degrees to Jiang Wuming, begging for mercy.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
As his words fell, Huang Xiong triggered a switch in his right sleeve, and three steel needles stained with potent poison shot out from his sleeve, hurtling towards Jiang Wuming.
It had to be said that Huang Xiong was cunning and ruthless. After learning Jiang Wuming’s true identity, he knew he was no match for Jiang Wuming and that Jiang Wuming would not let them off. He pretended to beg for mercy while secretly using hidden weapons to kill Jiang Wuming!
Although his injuries were not light, he was confident that as long as he killed Jiang Wuming, he could completely kill Chu Wansong and leave here alive with Huang Xiaoxie!
Ideals are often more satisfying than reality.
Just as the three poison-stained steel needles reached Jiang Wuming, his eyes suddenly flashed with white light. Powerful mental energy surged out, acting upon the three poison-stained steel needles, instantly changing their trajectories.
Whoosh!
At this moment, Huang Xiong seized the opportunity of Jiang Wuming dodging the three needles and lunged forward. His true qi surged, completely enveloping him. He transformed into a tiger-like form, pouncing at the prey like a fierce tiger.
At this moment, Huang Xiong displayed his treachery and ruthlessness to the fullest!
Facing Huang Xiong’s sudden murderous attack, Jiang Wuming neither dodged nor parried, as if caught off guard.
However—
Just as Huang Xiong reached Jiang Wuming and swung his palm towards him, three sharp sounds echoed through the air.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The three previously missed poison-stained steel needles suddenly changed direction and shot towards Huang Xiong.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Immediately, the three poison-stained steel needles pierced Huang Xiong’s eyes and the center of his forehead respectively, and scalding blood gushed out.
Huang Xiong’s body suddenly stiffened, twitched, and then he crashed to the ground. Black blood flowed from his eyes and the center of his forehead.
The cunning and treacherous man finally died by the poisoned steel needles he had meticulously prepared!
“Dad… Dad!”
Seeing this, Huang Xiaoxie’s legs gave out, and he frantically cried out towards Huang Xiong.
“Weiyang held the fruit knife to her throat because you intended to make improper advances towards her!”
Jiang Wuming’s icy voice responded to Huang Xiaoxie.
As he spoke, he took a step towards the lounge door.
Whoosh!
Simultaneously, a sound of breaking air suddenly echoed.
The fruit knife that Chu Weiyang had dropped earlier suddenly flew up, transforming into a white light and shooting towards Huang Xiaoxie.
“Puff!”
Blood splattered. In Huang Xiaoxie’s terrified expression, the fruit knife, as if cutting through tofu, severed Huang Xiaoxie’s right hand!
“Ah—”
Huang Xiaoxie screamed in pain, his entire body trembling.
Jiang Wuming took his second step.
Puff!
Puff!
Puff!
Puff!
Following that, the fruit knife, without stopping, successively cut off Huang Xiaoxie’s left hand, both feet, and his third leg!
“Puff!”
Finally, the fruit knife flew upwards from below, hovering in front of Huang Xiaoxie. Under Huang Xiaoxie’s extreme terror, it pinned his head to the ship’s hull.
Six strikes, six steps.
Jiang Wuming walked out of the lounge, without looking at Huang Xiaoxie once from beginning to end!
