Isn't this your gift to me?
The sword pressed against Huang Aogu's neck, glinting with cold light. His skin prickled with pain, and his entire body stiffened.
He squinted at the blade that was pressed against his neck, and his back began to sweat uncontrollably.
"What do you think you're doing? I'm the leader of the Axe Gang's Raging Flame City branch. If you kill me, you won't have a good ending. "
Huang Aogu's voice trembled. He tried to move his neck away from the blade, only to discover that if he moved, the blade would follow him, and it would press even closer. By now, blood had already begun seeping from his neck. The pain was so intense that he didn't dare move recklessly.
The other captains looked nervously at Huang Aogu as well. This wasn't a situation that didn't concern them. Right now, they were in the same boat. If Huang Aogu said the wrong thing and angered this maleficent star, they'd most likely suffer as well.
Ye Zichen smiled indifferently. He'd long since grown tired of hearing such empty threats. Besides, he really didn't care about the Axe Gang's headquarters at all.
Even if he brought out the Green Gang's backing, so what? All they'd get was a supreme, but was he supposed to be afraid of a supreme?
To tell the truth, Ye Zichen was starting to like the seventy-two districts he'd ascended to. Here, he was at the top of the food chain. He could be as arrogant as he wanted, and he could beat up anyone he didn't like.
This was much better than going to the Divine Mountains and randomly pulling out a sky supreme or diviner expert. He'd have no choice but to live like a coward.
"Can I take that as a threat?"
Ye Zichen glanced coldly at Huang Aogu, then pressed his sword even closer. Blood trickled down his neck. Huang Aogu was on the verge of going insane. This feeling of death at any moment caused his mental defenses to crumble.
That pair of eyes were so cold that not even a hint of emotion could be seen. Under that gaze, Huang Aogu felt as if he had been plunged into a bottomless pit of ice.
"What exactly do you want?"
In his extreme terror, Huang Aogu practically roared. The veins on his neck and forehead bulged.
However, as soon as he shouted, he regretted it. If he had just killed him …
The longer one lived, the more afraid they were of death. Huang Aogu was truly afraid of dying right here.
To Huang Aogu's surprise, Ye Zichen smiled and put his sword away. His entire face lit up with a refreshing, breezy smile, then he patted Huang Aogu on the shoulder.
"Of course, I just want some compensation for mental damage. Relax, I'm not a bloodthirsty person. I was just joking with you just now. Relax, relax. "
This sudden change in expression startled Huang Aogu and the group of captains.
However, Ye Zichen's words made Huang Aogu curse him endlessly in his heart. Was it funny to joke around with him on the verge of death?
He was so scared that he almost peed his pants. This joke was not funny at all.
He kept cursing in his heart, but all of a sudden, he felt a cold glint looking at him.
"You're speaking ill of me in your heart, aren't you?"
Before his voice faded, a wisp of blood light appeared in everyone's eyes. When they came to their senses, they discovered that Huang Aogu's right arm had fallen to the ground.
Blood spurted out like a fountain from where his arm had been severed.
Huang Aogu clutched his arm and screamed in pain. His eyes widened as he stared fixedly at his severed arm.
He was a sword cultivator, and he'd always wielded his sword with his right hand. Ye Zichen had cut off his right arm. That was no different from wasting his cultivation.
The other captains fell silent out of fear. This malefic star was far too temperamental. One second, he'd been smiling and patting Huang Aogu on the shoulder, and the next, he'd cut off his arm.
Judging from his decisiveness, he didn't seem like a bloodthirsty person at all.
"I really don't have a good temper. Actually, this arm is your punishment. Hurry up and compensate me for my mental damage, so I can go back and rest. "
Ye Zichen pressed his blade against Huang Aogu's black robes and wiped the blood off it.
At that moment, Ye Zichen yawned, looking exhausted.
"You're asking for …."
Huang Aogu, who'd lost an arm, glared at Ye Zichen, but Ye Zichen merely glanced at him coldly. Huang Aogu felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, and he sobered up.
He was a blade puppet!
Right now, his life was still in Ye Zichen's hands!
Although he was unwilling, Huang Aogu lowered his head.
"I'll give you all my wealth."
As he spoke, Huang Aogu took off his spatial ring. When the other captains saw this, they followed suit, even if they were reluctant to part with their wealth. But where there's life, there's hope. So long as they lived, they'd be able to reclaim their worldly possessions.
Ye Zichen glanced at Scarface. Scarface immediately understood and took everyone's spatial rings.
Even though he knew these treasures didn't belong to him, when he thought about how these heavy rings had once belonged to him, he couldn't help but feel excited.
Next, he walked up to Zhao Ye.
Earlier, Ye Zichen had robbed Zhao Ye of all his treasures. Now, it could be said that Zhao Ye was penniless. He didn't even have half a spirit coin in his pocket.
"What are you just standing there for? Hurry up and hand over the money!"
Scarface feigned ignorance and shouted angrily. Back in the Axe Gang, he'd been bullied by Zhao Ye quite a bit. Even a small favor from him cost him quite a bit of blood.
What goes around comes around. Now, it was his turn to bully Zhao Ye.
"Wei Jie, don't go too far!"
Zhao Ye's face was ashen. Just a few days ago, Scarface had acted like a grandson, but now he was talking to him like that.
"Screw you."
Scarface kicked Zhao Ye to the ground. He was venting all the anger he'd accumulated over the years in the Axe Gang on Zhao Ye.
"You bullied me in the gang? I was qualified to be promoted to captain long ago, but you kept holding me back. Who do you think you are, Zhao Ye? You look like an eggplant. You've fallen from grace, yet you're still throwing your weight around? "
The onlookers trembled in fear, but no one dared speak up for fear that Scarface would vent his anger on them. By now, Scarface had risen to the top. He'd climbed up Ye Zichen's tree branch. The other captains were envious.
"Alright, Scarface, come back."
Wei Jie called out to Scarface calmly, then spat viciously at Zhao Ye, then respectfully handed the ring to Ye Zichen.
Ye Zichen scanned the ring with his immortal awareness. At a rough estimate, there was at least a hundred million.
The strongest of them was only a human immortal, yet they had so much wealth. From this, it was clear just how many adventurers the Axe Gang had exploited.
As he looked at the money, Ye Zichen was even more determined to rid the world of evil.
"You're all filthy rich!"
Ye Zichen smiled calmly, put the ring away, then walked up to Huang Aogu and reached out.
"What's the meaning of this? We've already given you the compensation you wanted. What else do you want?"
