“Heh, surround them!”
Xiao Qizhou glanced at Leng Shao like he was looking at an idiot and waved his hand. Over a hundred people quickly closed in, and within moments, they had Ye Zixiao and the other two completely surrounded.
“You’re looking down on me!”
Leng Shao immediately showed his displeasure.
Suddenly, he put two fingers in his mouth and let out a sharp whistle. Then, he raised his saber and pointed it at Xiao Qizhou, saying, “If you dare to attack, you will all die.”
“Shut the hell up!”
Xiao Qizhou was furious with Leng Shao, but he still said to Ye Zixiao, “You’re not getting the money. If you don’t want to die an ugly death, I suggest you kneel now.”
Just then.
The area around the unfinished building suddenly became noisy?
Indistinguishable footsteps echoed, approaching from all directions. No one was shouting, but it was clear that a large number of people were encircling the abandoned building?
“Go and see?”
Xiao Liufu immediately gave the order.
Several of Xiao family’s thugs quickly rushed to the windows, which were missing glass. Upon seeing what was happening, the thugs were all shaken and quickly rushed back.
“What’s going on?”
Xiao Liufu asked coldly.
“A lot of people have arrived.”
“Me too, a sea of them.”
“Master Liu, we’re surrounded.”
Several thugs reported with a hint of panic.
“It doesn’t matter how many there are.”
Xiao Qizhou’s old eyes widened, and he continued to Ye Zixiao, “My subordinates are not trash like Qin family and Black Tiger Hall. Your numbers are useless; speed with the blade is king.”
As he spoke.
Xiao Qizhou waved his hand.
Of the over a hundred Xiao family thugs, except for a dozen or so direct descendants of the Xiao family, the rest all put on masks, like ghastly masks with bared fangs.
“Hmm? People from Sunset Country?”
Ye Zixiao suddenly muttered.
“People from Sunset Country?”
“Brother, how do you know?”
Lin Bin and Leng Shao were momentarily stunned.
Dragon Country and Sunset Country were adjacent. Due to various reasons, people from the two countries looked very similar, making it difficult to distinguish them without speaking.
As for these terrifying masks.
Lin Bin and Leng Shao didn’t know what they represented either.
“Ye Zixiao, you have some insight. This group I brought are from Sunset Country’s Shadow Corps. Do you think the people outside have blades as fast as the Shadow Corps?”
Xiao Qizhou suddenly became arrogant.
“Sunset Country’s Shadow Corps, a notorious group of assassins, dogs used by the government for dirty work, beasts who cruelly slaughter women and children, is that them?”
Ye Zixiao earnestly confirmed.
“Ye Zixiao, you’re right. It’s exactly as you think. But in my opinion, as long as I can get rid of you, it doesn’t matter who I use. Attack.”
Xiao Qizhou gave the kill order.
“Don’t fight; retreat!”
Ye Zixiao also gave the order.
He suddenly drew his Asura blade and killed the nearest person with one strike. Seizing the moment of the enemy’s daze, he dashed towards the window and broke through.
Lin Bin and Leng Shao weren’t stupid.
They didn’t know how powerful Sunset Country’s Shadow Corps was. But seeing Ye Zixiao run, they followed without hesitation, forgetting about the money and just focusing on getting downstairs.
It was only the third floor.
The three of them leaped down.
“No need to chase!”
Xiao Qizhou seemed supremely confident.
With a cigarette in his mouth, he instructed, “Take the money and leave through the main entrance. Ye Zixiao is nothing; he wet himself just hearing the name Shadow Corps. We’ll get out of the city first.”
No one raised an objection.
Sunset Country assassins led the way, followed by Xiao family members carrying the money. Over a hundred people, brandishing their blades, swaggered downstairs and exited the abandoned building through the main entrance.
Outside the main entrance.
There was a large expanse of wasteland.
This was within the city, but not the central district. The reason this area around the North Gate was chaotic was due to the abundance of unfinished buildings, making it the most mixed area in the entire city.
“Quite a lot of people!”
Xiao Liufu was surprised as soon as he stepped out.
The wasteland was packed with people, nearly a thousand, and the sound of footsteps from all directions hadn't stopped. It was clear that even more people were on their way.
“Where did you get these people?”
Ye Zixiao also asked Leng Shao in surprise.
Ye Zixiao hadn’t brought any Lin family members to extort money this time. He had casually asked Leng Shao to find some people to ‘hold the fort,’ not for fighting, but purely for show.
He never expected.
That Leng Shao would bring over a thousand people?!
“Brother Xiao, I told you just now, I’m the number one tough guy in the Big North Gate. As soon as they heard I was going to fight, the entire Big North Gate was in an uproar. Who would dare not give face to Leng Shao’s business?”
“Don’t brag, you idiot!”
Lin Bin chimed in from the side, directly retorting, “The day you blocked us, as soon as my brother-in-law made a move, all your brothers scattered. Damn it, can you speak properly?”
“Hehehe!”
Leng Shao scratched his head, saying with some embarrassment, “To be honest, I didn’t expect so many people to come. I just said I was doing business for Brother Xiao, and these people came voluntarily.”
“Ye Zixiao.”
Xiao Qizhou led his men forward.
“The Xiao family is truly arrogant!”
Ye Zixiao took the lead and walked forward a couple of steps.
The reason he chose to run earlier wasn’t because he was cowardly, but because he knew the prowess of Sunset Country’s Shadow Corps assassins, and he believed Lin Bin and Leng Shao couldn’t contend with them, so he ran out of concern for their safety.
But now it was different.
Now there were over a thousand people holding the fort.
As for Xiao Qizhou.
The Xiao family had brought over a hundred people from Sunset Country precisely because they valued the speed of the Shadow Corps assassins. The Xiao family wasn’t in a hurry to kill Ye Zixiao this time, but they wanted to ensure they could escape.
After all, this was Beihai City!
“Ye Zixiao, my Xiao family’s feud with you cannot be resolved, but I don’t wish to fight today. Let us pass, or many people will die. We can still get out.”
Xiao Qizhou was truly arrogant.
“Blow your mother’s bullsh*t!”
Leng Shao immediately cursed, pointing at Xiao Qizhou and yelling, “You old dog, what are you pretending for? Not one of you is going to run today. If Leng Shao wants someone dead, not even an immortal can save them.”
“Just you guys?”
Xiao Qizhou suddenly waved and gave the order.
“Roar—”
The over a hundred people from Sunset Country roared in unison.
A thick, foul-smelling killing intent, as if visible, surged into Ye Zixiao’s side, causing a stir among the over a thousand people.
Even.
The people Leng Shao had called seemed to be panicking.
More than half of these people were hooligans, and some were from gangs, but they were not very good at it. In terms of actual combat effectiveness, these small-time thugs were useless.
The reason they came.
Was entirely due to their admiration for Ye Zixiao.
“Brothers, hail Brother Xiao!”
Leng Shao suddenly raised his hand and shouted loudly.
“Brother Xiao!”
The over a thousand hooligans bowed in unison.
This response, this gesture, was not pre-arranged but spontaneous. Over a thousand people bowing and greeting at the same time gave Ye Zixiao considerable respect.
At this moment.
Ye Zixiao had become a triad boss.
“Too unexpected, too exciting!”
Even Leng Shao felt goosebumps, but he feigned composure and shouted again, “There’s a group of people from Sunset Country on the other side. Damn it, they’re very good fighters. Are you scared?”
“Scared of a damn thing?”
“Brother Xiao is here, who are we afraid of?”
“Let’s just do it…”
“Damn it, kill these bastards.”
The over a thousand small-time thugs shouted noisily, the people behind pushing forward, and the people in front started revealing their weapons: pistols, rifles, shotguns, and even grenades…
