Free Web NovelChapter 147: Chapter 119: I Know You’re Defiant! I’m the Cure for All Defiance
Before he knew it, he had already stepped into Rat Alley.
The narrow, cramped alley was littered with all sorts of trash.
An indescribable stench permeated the air.
Crooked, ramshackle houses were built on either side.
Most of the houses were spaced far apart.
Before long, Chen Xuan arrived before a pile of charred black ruins. A smile touched his lips as he pointed at the rubble and said, "Look. This was my home. I was almost burned to death back then. I crawled out of here. My father and my mother both died."
"You crawled out of here?"
Mr. Zhuo was dumbfounded.
Chen Xuan’s gaze swept the area, and his brow furrowed when his eyes landed on another small, earthen hut not far away.
’Aunt Zhang’s place... the door is locked tight.’
Weeds were even growing in front of the door.
Suspicious, Chen Xuan walked over and soon found an old scholar to ask for information.
"You mean that family? They moved away a long time ago..."
the old scholar replied, his bespectacled eyes scrutinizing Chen Xuan’s face with suspicion. "You... you... you look so familiar. You... you can’t be Xuanzi, can you?"
"Who else could it be?"
Chen Xuan chuckled lightly. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
He had a vivid memory of this old scholar.
"You’re really Xuanzi?"
The old scholar’s eyes widened. "Weren’t you possessed by a demon?" he asked in alarm.
"I was, but I’m all better now."
Chen Xuan said in a neutral tone, "By the way, after I left, did the Cyan Dragon Gang here put out a warrant for me?"
"Of course they did! A whole crowd of people came, including men from the government constabulary. They searched back and forth for days and arrested a bunch of people. They nearly tore our entire Rat Alley apart. Aunt Zhang moved away around that time too. As for where she went, I have no idea,"
the old scholar said hurriedly.
"Is that so?"
Chen Xuan frowned. "Thank you."
He continued to ask a few more questions.
Finally, he strode away, heading out of the alley.
Curious, Mr. Zhuo followed him again.
"What are you going to do?"
"What else? Get revenge, of course!"
Chen Xuan suddenly smiled. "The Cyan Dragon Gang, the government officials... they’re all cancerous tumors that destroyed my family. As long as they exist, I’ll never know a day of peace. Since I’m passing through, I might as well pull them out by the roots!"
’This is what it means to have a clear conscience!’
He walked straight out of the alley.
"Hey, kid! Who are you? I’ve been watching you for a while. What are you doing here?"
Just as he was leaving the alley, a few thugs with unfriendly expressions blocked Chen Xuan’s path. Their faces were grim as their eyes sized him up from head to toe.
’Nice clothes!’
’Looks like a rich boy.’
"Don’t you know who runs this area?"
a thug with a scar on his face said coldly.
SQUELCH!
Without even looking, Chen Xuan shoved the thug’s head straight into his own abdominal cavity.
The other thugs stared blankly for a second, their faces filled with terror. They let out a startled cry and immediately turned to flee.
SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT!
With a casual wave of his hand, the men sprayed torrents of blood as they were sent flying, deader than dead.
[You have killed several thugs who murdered for profit and oppressed the innocent. Retribution points +90!]
A line of text appeared before him.
’As expected.’
’Farming these small-fry gives too few retribution points.’
Chen Xuan mused to himself.
He walked straight toward the Cyan Dragon Gang’s headquarters. Without a single wasted word, he swept his hand out, and the few guards at the gate screamed as they were sent flying, vomiting blood.
Chen Xuan pushed deeper, sweeping aside enemies as he walked.
The entire Cyan Dragon Gang headquarters was thrown into chaos.
Any gang member who appeared was, without exception, pierced by his True Qi, sent flying, and died a violent death.
Lines of text announcing his retribution points appeared one after another.
’With a gang like the Cyan Dragon Gang, you could kill every last one of them and not a single one would be innocent.’ freёwebnovel.com
That was why Chen Xuan didn’t even bother to ask any questions.
「At that very moment.」
The Cyan Dragon Gang Leader, Guan Saber, was hosting a banquet for the government Prefect, Xu Huaiyi. Also in attendance was the constables’ office’s chief divine constable, Ren An, the "Golden-eyed Eagle."
The three men were exchanging toasts, their faces all smiles.
The table was laden with all kinds of delicacies from land and sea.
They were in the middle of plotting how to further exploit the city’s common folk when they heard a series of panicked, blood-curdling screams from outside. The three of them froze, then immediately stood up and went out to see what was happening.
The moment they stepped outside,
they saw the bodies of Cyan Dragon Gang members and government constables flying everywhere.
A man in a black robe was walking and clearing a path.
With a broad smile on his face, he looked just like a Hell Death God.
His surroundings were already blanketed with an untold number of corpses.
Thick, sticky pools of blood spattered the entire courtyard.
Suddenly, the black-robed man looked up at them, a brilliant smile spreading across his face.
"Excellent. The government Prefect is here too. Saves me the trouble of looking for him."
"Who... who in the world are you?"
The Cyan Dragon Gang Leader, Guan Saber, his face filled with terror, subconsciously stumbled backward, trembling uncontrollably.
’What the fuck is happening?’
’Did this guy just slaughter my entire Cyan Dragon Gang?’
At his side, Ren An, the "Golden-eyed Eagle," was also backing away, his heart pounding in terror as cold sweat streamed down his face.
’An expert!’
’This is definitely an expert of a caliber I’ve never seen before!’
’Just the formless aura radiating from him is enough to suffocate me.’
"You don’t recognize me?"
Chen Xuan chuckled lightly.
"Who... who are you?"
Guan Saber asked in terror.
"A few months ago, someone wiped out the Tiger Gang and you put out a warrant for him. That was me," Chen Xuan said with a smile.
"The Tiger Gang?"
The Cyan Dragon Gang Leader and Prefect Xu Huaiyi looked utterly bewildered.
’What gang is that?’
’And what does it have to do with us?’
They never would have imagined that simply because a group of their subordinates had taken over a tiny, mud-caked gang, their entire Cyan Dragon Gang and the government office would be annihilated in a single day.
