Outside Youshan City, in the lush mountain ridge, Xia Pingan and Flaming Rhinoceros were hiding behind a pile of rocks. They lowered their heads and looked at the mining site that was in full swing below the mountain ridge.
It was a huge mining site. There were at least tens of thousands of people working in the mining site below.
The sound of the mining machines was earth-shattering.
This was a shallow vein. As long as the ground was slightly excavated, the ore deposit would be exposed. The entire mining site was dug into a huge spiral pit. On both sides of the pit, there were busy people everywhere. The noise from the machines and the noise from the machines mixed together. Dust flew everywhere. It was extremely noisy.
The ore that had been excavated was pulled away by the carts. At the smelting factory outside the mining site.
On the way in and out of the mining site, there were many armed teams from the Morality Gang setting up checkpoints to prevent outsiders from entering as they wished.
"This is the silver mining site of the Morality Gang?" Xia Pingan glanced at the mining site and turned to ask Flaming Rhinoceros.
"Yes. At the back of the mountain is the mining site of the Fire Dragon Pavilion. The two mining sites are the same vein. Therefore, this is where the conflict between the two sides lies. One of the Four Great Guardian Deities of the Morality Gang, Xiong Hei and Iron Hands Li, are stationed here with a team of summoners. Shall we kill them again?"
Flaming Rhinoceros was a little excited. When he was talking about what to do, he couldn't help but lick his lips. His pupils were a little dilated, as if he was immersed in the excitement of the assassination.
Xia Pingan also realized that some people became killers or assassins for their livelihood or work. However, Flaming Rhinoceros was completely enjoying the process.
"Of course, of course we'll do it …" Xia Pingan was also looking at the mining site below. There were many buildings and sheds in the mining site. As he didn't know if there were any summoners below who had the remote viewing ability, he didn't rashly use his remote viewing ability to search. Instead, he used his sight to determine the target. "Where do Xiong Hei and Iron Hands Li live?"
"Do you see that three-story building with a blue roof with a courtyard at the edge of the mine?" Flame Rhinoceros pointed at a building on a hillside at the edge of the mine more than two thousand meters away. "Xiong Hei, Iron Hands Li, and the Summoner who is stationed at the mine are usually in that small building. Occasionally, they would come out to patrol. The temporary houses at the edge of the small building are occupied by the armed mine guards from the Morality Sect. During the day, they would be very lax …"
After hearing Flaming Rhinoceros's words, Xia Pingan also saw the blue-roofed building and the houses below it. That place looked like a military camp. Beside the building, there were many simple buildings, which should be the living area of the miners.
In the daytime, the armed guards of the mining site didn't become idle. On the contrary, the people around the blue-roofed building and the houses were very lax. Some people were lying under the shade of trees, sleeping, chatting and catching fleas on their bodies. They didn't make any preparation at all.
Just as Xia Pingan was sizing up that place, a door on the third floor of the blue-roofed building opened. A man casually draped in a black fur vest walked out of the room. He scanned the mining site from the walkway outside the building. Seeing that the mining site was safe, the man stretched himself and returned to the room.
"That man is Xiong Hei, one of the Four Great Guardian Warriors of the Morality Gang. He's also a summoner of the Five Suns Realm …" Flaming Rhinoceros explained, "Let's not talk about anything else. As long as one of the Four Great Guardian Warriors of the Morality Gang is killed, the Morality Gang will definitely be in chaos. If two of them are killed, the Morality Gang will lose three of its Four Great Guardian Warriors.
Xia Pingan only scanned the mining site below and instantly made a decision. He came up with a plan of action in his mind.
"Kill him …" Xia Pingan said as he used a tree branch to draw a line on the ground. He explained the plan of action, "Use your Earth Elemental Technique to bring me to the entrance of the building. I'll deal with the two guards at the entrance and then charge into the room upstairs to kill Xiong Hei. You hide in the dark and support me. I, Iron Hands Li, and the rest will be left to you. We only have half a minute to act. After half a minute, no matter what the situation is, we will immediately retreat from the original path. If there are any unforeseen circumstances, we will retreat separately and meet again in Youshan City.
What do you think? "Xia Pingan's plan of action seemed very daring. He wanted to attack the building in broad daylight and kill the two Great Guardian Warriors of the Morality Gang. This plan of action was definitely not thought of by normal people. Without any preparation, it seemed risky but the chances of success were very high.
"Alright!" Flame Rhino nodded and didn't say anything else. He grabbed Xia Pingan and used Earth Elemental Technique to sneak towards the building at the edge of the mining site.
Every time Flame Rhino used Earth Elemental Technique, Xia Pingan would think of Tu Xingsun from the Investiture of the Gods. Earth Elemental Technique was really hard to guard against. At least for normal Summoners, there was nothing they could do.
The two of them entered the mining site and went directly to the building from the underground. The people in the mining site and the building didn't notice anything unusual.
There were two Summoners of the Morality Gang guarding the entrance of the building. The two Summoners weren't thinking about their posts. Instead, they were chatting casually in a low voice.
"… What do you think is the situation in the city? I heard that something happened in the gang last night. Tu Lie was assassinated by a Demon Wolf hired by the Fire Dragon Pavilion …"
"I don't know, but I think we'll have to fight with the Fire Dragon Pavilion sooner or later. A mountain can't accommodate two tigers. There's only one silver mine, and our mine is going to be dug together with the Fire Dragon Pavilion's mine. Didn't the Mages of the Fire Dragon Pavilion come to our place two days ago? This isn't a good sign …"
"Sigh, it's a pity that the Gang Leader isn't here. The two Enforcers and the managers are hesitating. If the Gang Leader was here, I think we would have already started a war with the Fire Dragon Pavilion …"
"Shh, don't talk nonsense …"
"What's there to be afraid of …"
The two Summoners guarding the entrance were chatting. They didn't notice that two 'little turtles' with snake heads and turtle bodies had silently crawled out from the ground behind them. The two 'little turtles' silently crawled behind their feet and bit their heels at the same time. In an instant, the two Summoners were frozen from their heels to the tips of their hair.
The best part was that the two 'little turtles' bit at the right time when the two were talking about a sensitive topic and took the initiative to end the topic. Even if there was an expert in the building who could hear their conversation, it wouldn't be strange if they suddenly stopped talking at that moment.
As soon as Black Tortoise made a contribution, in the next second, Flame Rhinoceros and Xia Pingan suddenly emerged from the ground. Xia Pingan's face was wearing his desert bandit wolf mask.
Xia Pingan didn't even think as he rushed upstairs with his fastest speed.
Xia Pingan activated the Lotus Flower Steps skill. The golden lotus flower beneath his feet flashed. Noiselessly, with a single step, he crossed over thirty meters from the courtyard of the small building and arrived downstairs. With the second step, the lotus flower beneath his feet flashed again. Xia Pingan's body rose from the ground. Like lightning, he directly crossed over to the third floor from the courtyard and appeared outside the room where Xiong Hei had appeared earlier.
From here, he could finally clearly hear the movements in the room. Hearing the sounds coming from the room, Xia Pingan revealed a strange expression. After that, Xia Pingan didn't break the door open. Instead, he took two steps forward and gently pushed the door open.
The room was luxuriously decorated, but the atmosphere was foul.
A large group of people were gathered around a table. Their eyes were wide open and bloodshot as they stared at the dice rolling on the table.
One of the Righteous Gang's Four Great Guardian Deities, Xiong Hei, was boldly sitting in front of the table. Before him was a large pile of gold coins and he was shouting loudly.
"Leopard, Leopard, Leopard …" With Xiong Hei as the banker, Leopard could kill anyone.
As for the others, they were also shouting.
"Small, small, small …"
"Big, big, big …"
"Fifteen points … fifteen points …"
"Eleven points … eleven points …"
Piles of gold coins were placed on the table. Some people had even placed their Realm Pearls on the table. On the gambling table, there were people placing their bets on big, small, and even numbers. The odds were all different.
Those people were all immersed in gambling. When Xia Pingan opened the door and walked in, no one took notice of him. No one even turned around to take a glance at him.
'Fuck, if I had known, why would I have been so careful?'
Seeing the situation, Xia Pingan was speechless.
"Cough, cough …" Xia Pingan had no choice but to cough twice.
Hearing Xia Pingan's coughs, someone finally raised their head and looked toward the entrance. Then, they saw a guy wearing a ridiculous desert bandit mask standing at the entrance.
"Eh … what are you doing?" That guy finally asked.
Only then did everyone's gaze shift from the gambling table to Xia Pingan. Everyone was slightly startled.
"I am here to send you all on your way …" After Xia Pingan finished speaking, he used a Silence Barrier to seal the room. At the same time, terrifying lightning that had been accumulating power for a long time blossomed from his body.
Xia Pingan did not summon a single lightning bolt. Instead, he summoned a total of five lightning bolts. The effect of the five lightning bolts was not at all inferior to the Five Lightning Talisman Tu Lie used last night. In fact, it was even stronger.
In an instant, every corner and every inch of space in the room was filled with the lightning bolts. The terrifying lightning bolts tore through everything. They passed through one living body after another, electrolyzed and separated the bodily fluids within those bodies. Their muscles and tissues were necrotized and paralyzed. Their heartbeats stopped, they lost consciousness and their breathing stopped. Their bodies were burned, carbonized, and then exploded …
All of this happened in less than a tenth of a second.
That lightning bolt was too fast. Furthermore, its power was too terrifying. Including Xiong Hei, none of the Summoners in the room were able to cast any defensive techniques in time.
The final result only proved one thing … the majority of the Summoners, although their bodies were valiant, were only made of flesh and blood. These flesh and blood bodies were completely unable to withstand the terrifying bombardment of the lightning bolts.
With a single move from Xia Pingan, everyone in the room was killed …
