The river surged with waves.

The tide rose and fell.

Song Ci's expression was calm, like a wolf entering a flock of sheep. With his own strength, he easily suppressed the Southern Hall heroes of the Chengxin Society. With each punch he threw, a cloud of mist would shatter and spread on the river, rippling with countless strands of white air.

One figure after another was flung out like a broken sack.

At the beginning of the declaration of war in the depths of the Huazhi Building, many people believed that the Crow would fall under the hands of Chen San's three adopted sons tonight.

No one expected.

Tonight's battle on the Jiangtan River was simply a massacre.

There was not a trace of suspense in this battle; it was a completely one-sided crushing.

The sky shrouded this cold river, but even with the blessing of this great domain, no one was a match for Song Ci. Wu Yong's proud Ba Dao technique didn't even have a chance to be unsheathed… The battle on the great river continued, but by now, Qi Lu had already foreseen the final result.

He still had a purple-silver bullet in his hand.

This bullet could not change the ending, could not change the battle situation… could not change anything.

Because even with "Eagle Eye" opened to the maximum, he still could not capture the Crow's figure. He was always a step slower than the opponent. That man was as fast as lightning.

"I'm going to withdraw the 'Tian Mu'."

A very light voice entered Qi Lu's ears.

The river surface was filled with mist, and countless water droplets fell. Everyone looked towards the river, unable to see any abnormalities in the night, because the ability of "Tian Mu" was to block vision and change some of the material properties within the domain.

And the master who controlled this great domain had been in this battlefield from beginning to end. He stood at the end of the Tian Mu, farthest from Song Ci, shrouded in water mist, refracting light, making him appear transparent.

"Is there still a chance?" The eldest brother remained calm, and he asked earnestly, "If we could hit with that purple-silver bullet, perhaps there would still be a turning point."

"...Impossible."

Qi Lu's expression was somewhat黯然 (anran - dejected). The ink color in his pupils dissipated, and Eagle Eye was no longer activated.

Activating Eagle Eye to capture the Crow's movements was a complete waste of mental energy.

Although very unwilling, the man clutching the sniper rifle had to admit that tonight's operation was a complete failure.

"Even if you give me ten more bullets, I wouldn't be able to hit him, because the difference is too great…" Qi Lu smiled self-deprecatingly, "The Crow is completely different from what the rumors said. The news from Huazhi said that he was a reckless man who was supported by the Madam. In fact, he has both courage and resourcefulness. I can't think of a way to restrain him at all."

"Unless…"

Speaking of this, he paused.

The man standing at the farthest point of the river opened his mouth for him.

"Unless Chen Mei is willing to take action."

Qi Lu was silent, and he nodded slowly.

Yes.

This was the only way he could think of. The only one who could suppress the monster was another monster. He had self-knowledge, knowing that an extraordinary person of his level could only be considered an ordinary person of flesh and blood in the top world.

"Chen Mei doesn't care about the affairs of the Chengxin Society… He only does what he likes to do."

The eldest brother's transparent figure slowly walked on the river. He stretched out his hands, one in each hand, and picked up the unconscious Wu Yong and his fourth brother, carrying them on his shoulders.

Looking up again, the blue arc of the Tian Mu gradually dimmed.

The eldest brother's leisurely voice spread, "Don't waste bullets, prepare to evacuate."

This voice was also transmitted to the ears of every extraordinary person who launched an attack on Song Ci.

In the turbulent waves of the river, Song Ci carried one hand behind his back, only exposing one fist. That fist was stained with mottled blood, but not a drop was his own. The crowd kept their distance from him, and no one dared to enter within five meters of him.

This layer of Tian Mu was both protection and a cage.

The few minutes of fighting with Song Ci seemed as long as a century.

The sound of retreat came, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If possible, they never wanted to fight the Crow again, not even for a second.

But these extraordinary people's subtle changes in expression did not escape Song Ci's perception.

"Want to leave?"

The Crow chuckled softly, and he slowly turned his head, looking in a misty direction in the river, "Are you… mistaken about something?"

This glance made the eldest brother at the end of the Tian Mu's scalp tingle.

In this domain, the line of sight was distorted. People outside could not see the scene inside, and similarly… even if they were inside, no one should be able to see themselves.

"I said before… I'm waiting for people on the Jiangtan River. If you come, I'll release them." The Crow sighed softly, "Madam has always taught me that doing things must be justified in order to be confident."

Speaking of this, he looked towards the distant Jiang'an Dam.

The superficial cause of all this tonight… the unlucky guy who was dragged out of the third basement level of Huazhi for violating the rules had already had his throat shattered by a purple-silver bullet from his "own people" and bled to death.

"I'm preparing to release people. But you're relentless." The Crow said softly, "There shouldn't be any rules in the underground world that can protect your behavior… If you want to kill me, you must be prepared to be killed by me."

These words, falling into the ears of those extraordinary people, were tantamount to pronouncing the final judgment.

Every Chengxin Society's extraordinary person who was preparing to retreat tensed up again, preparing to fight again.

"You want to… negotiate?"

But the same words, falling into the eldest brother's ears, were different.

In his opinion, if he only wanted to kill himself and his group… then with the Crow's strength, this battle would have already ended.

He didn't need to lead people from the Jiang'an Dam to the Nanwan River basin, and he didn't need to delay.

Along with this voice, a blurry figure slowly walked from the river, countless suspended water droplets surrounding the man, and the river surface condensed into an ice bridge.

He carried two adopted brothers, and the crowd gave way.

"Su Cha." The eldest brother slowly opened his mouth, and he reported his name, and then faintly praised, "I have long heard that the Crow of Chen Bei is brave and unparalleled, and now I see it tonight, it is indeed true."

Song Ci couldn't help but laugh.

But it was just a laugh.

Such laughter was dry, and it didn't sound like satisfaction or joy, but instead made people feel mocked and contemptuous.

In fact, the Crow did not look down on Su Cha. He just simply found it funny.

Complimenting the opponent after being defeated was something he couldn't do… just like coming in a mighty force and ordering a retreat when the battle situation was not right.

Should he say that the other party had no backbone, or was too good at judging the situation?

The Crow carefully examined the man who appeared last. He had already figured out where the other party was hiding… He did not have Eagle Eye, nor did he have a sealing object to assist his vision. All he had was a pair of fists, and an honest and mighty heart.

So… close your eyes.

On the contrary, he could see more clearly.

When he punched out, the entire Tian Mu was shaking, and the great domain was about to be shattered by his punch. The extraordinary person who maintained this domain would inevitably increase the power input, and the only place that was not affected and remained stable… was the original place where the Jiang Wu shrouded Su Cha.

Su Cha was too cautious and too afraid of being discovered by the Crow.

And this was "seen" clearly… After that punch, the Crow gave up the plan to shatter the Tian Mu. Su Cha guessed right. When this battle lost its suspense, the Crow's purpose was no longer to defeat the opponent, but to ensure that the battle situation was in his control.

Transfer the battlefield.

Come to the Nanwan River basin.

Everything he had done from the beginning… its real purpose was to delay time. Gu Shen had set off for the Nanwan Building to steal the information from the closed-circuit host, and he needed to buy time for Gu Shen, at least not let these people go back.

Most importantly, he promised Madam that he would not cause trouble.

"I heard that Mr. Chen San released a message, saying that he wanted to skin me."

Song Ci spoke softly.

"Although Godfather never goes back on his word, that sentence was indeed caused by great anger, and it should not be taken seriously." Su Cha smiled.

"However, you should also know that he values the feelings of those around him… so he was very angry about what happened before." Su Cha changed his tone. After appearing, his attitude was not humble, and he dealt with the pressure exerted by the Crow with ease. "Last time, Madam came forward to help you settle it. If you kill indiscriminately tonight, Madam won't be able to protect you either."

After hearing this, Song Ci narrowed his eyes and fell silent.

According to the rules.

Both sides lead people, release people, and there should be no more disputes tonight.

But Su Cha took the lead… The Crow counterattacked, which can be regarded as breaking the rules with each other, offsetting each other, and it is justified in the rules.

If anyone makes a ruthless move and truly causes the "death" of an important person, then the nature of the matter will be different again.

Su Cha is a very cunning person.

In fact, the purpose of their trip was to kill the Crow.

If it really succeeds… the price of the matter is not difficult to bear.

They can afford it.

And conversely… the Crow's side is different.

Song Ci was neither willing to bear the price, nor did he bother to kill the four adopted sons of Chen San in front of him. In his opinion, they were not important people, and they were not characters worthy of making such sacrifices.

Seeing Song Ci's silence in response.

Su Cha was even more convinced that his words had just made the other party start thinking seriously.

So he further opened his mouth, "Let's stop here tonight… It's the best result for both of us. Madam won't hold you responsible, and we can repair the relationship between us."

The Crow closed his eyes.

He seemed to be thinking.

There was a faint noise in the crowd. Su Cha was very patient, and he raised his hand to signal everyone to be silent, waiting for the other party's response.

After a long time.

"Tonight, I'll let you go… and that will be the end of it…"

The Crow's voice spread across the river.

It's finally over… Those extraordinary people whose bodies were tense had no time to show emotions such as joy on their faces.

The Crow's voice rang out again.

"Su Cha… this should be what you wanted to hear, right?"
