"Beware of thieves, and watch out for fire!"
Just as Ye Xuan and Huang Fei-hung closed the main gate of Poh Chi Lam, nearly ten men on horses appeared stealthily at the end of the alley. They carried bows soaked in kerosene and some flammable firewood in their hands. They were dressed in black night clothes and even had their faces covered with black cloth.
"Big Brother!"
"Where's Big Brother?"
The men in black walked to the wall of Poh Chi Lam and looked inside sneakily. Then, they lowered their voices and looked for their Big Brother, waiting for him to give the order.
"I'm here!"
A deep voice came from among the men in black. One of them stood at the corner of the house across the street and looked at Poh Chi Lam with a malicious gaze. The man in black did not cover his face. Obviously, he was Gang Leader Hong Lie of the Shahe Gang, who was caught by Huang Fei-hung and Ye Xuan in the morning.
Hong Lie observed Poh Chi Lam. When he was about to cover his face, he suddenly saw a figure not far away from the corner of his eyes. He turned around and saw an old priest in Christian clothes holding an umbrella.
The old priest stood on the street and looked into the alley. His eyes flickered. When he met Hong Lie's eyes again, he saw the fierce expression on Hong Lie's face. He lowered his head and thought for a while. In the end, he did not say anything and limped away with the umbrella.
"Chi!" Hong Lie curled his lips and sneered. He did not care about the priest anymore. Instead, he pulled the cloth over his face and said to his men viciously, "The few of you, block the main gate of Poh Chi Lam with these arrows and pour kerosene on it. Don't let the people of Poh Chi Lam rush out. The few of you, light all these arrows and shoot them into Poh Chi Lam. I will remove the name of Poh Chi Lam from Foshan today! "
"Alright, let's remove Poh Chi Lam from Foshan!"
"Let Huang Fei-hung know the power of our Shahe Gang!"
"Burn Poh Chi Lam, burn Huang Fei-hung to death!"
A few hooligans immediately shouted excitedly. Hong Lie waved his hand and interrupted them. "Alright, hurry up and get ready!"
The things were already prepared when they arrived. A few hooligans went to the door of Poh Chi Lam and poured kerosene on it, while a few others lit a fire and started to light the arrows.
"Alright, let's begin! Burn! "
It was the beginning of summer, and the weather was dry. Under Hong Lie's order, a hooligan took a match from his pocket and threw it on the flammable objects that were covered with kerosene at the main gate of Poh Chi Lam. The fire started with a whoosh and soon spread to the entire main gate of Poh Chi Lam along with the kerosene.
"The few of you, hurry up!" Seeing the fire burning at the main gate of Poh Chi Lam, Hong Lie smiled ferociously under the black cloth that covered his face. He said to the hooligans who were fiddling with the arrows.
… …
Ye Xuan ran to the middle gate in a few steps. He pulled the bolt on the middle gate and pulled it open. Thick smoke gushed out from the gap of the closed door. Even standing at the middle gate, he could feel the rolling heatwaves coming from the outside.
"F * ck!" Seeing the red light coming through the gap of the door, Ye Xuan's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Although Ye Xuan had only been in Poh Chi Lam for a few months, he had begun to regard Poh Chi Lam as his home and the masters and brothers of Poh Chi Lam as his family. Now that someone wanted to burn his home and kill his family, the anger in his heart rose to the top of his head.
Ye Xuan's eyes were red. He walked forward and opened the door. With a bang, a scorching heatwave gushed in from the top of the door.
"Ah Hsuan, be careful!" Huang Fei-hung, who was behind him, saw the heatwave gushing in from the door and shouted worriedly.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! — —
The moment the door opened, the sound of arrows piercing through the air could be heard from outside. Countless arrows flew in from the top of the door and the courtyard. The arrows were still on fire. At this time, the house was still built with wood. When the flaming arrows were shot into the courtyard, the hall was instantly set ablaze.
Ye Xuan dodged the incoming arrow with a somersault. He turned around to look at the Bao Zhi Forest, which was already on fire in many places. Blue veins were popping on his forehead, and the anger in his chest was about to erupt. He gritted his teeth so hard that they made squeaking noises. Looking at the door that was burning red, he flipped his hand over, leaped into the air, and threw himself out of the fire.
"Ah Hsuan!" Huang Fei-hung saw Ye Xuan leaping out. His eyes widened and he shouted worriedly.
"Ah Kai, let's take out our weapons and fight them!" Wang Shirong glared angrily. He ran to the door and took out his weapon.
"Shirong, Ah Kai, stay here and extinguish the fire. I'll go out and save Ah Hsuan!" Huang Fei-hung stopped Wang Shirong. He picked up a wooden shield in front of the door and dodged the incoming arrows. He leaped towards the corner of the house.
Ye Xuan leaped into the fire, blocking Huang Fei-hung and the others' vision. With a flip of his hand, he spent 100 Cultivation Points to exchange for a wooden shield. After blocking a few arrows, he leaped and rolled on the ground. He extinguished the sparks on his clothes and appeared outside Poh Chi Lam's door.
"There's someone here, shoot him!"
"Swish! Swish! Swish! — — "
As soon as Ye Xuan appeared outside the door, a few men in black shouted. Then, arrows rained down on him.
"Bastards, I will kill you all!" If Ye Xuan had treated himself as a passerby in the past, then now, Ye Xuan had begun to integrate into this world. He even subconsciously forgot that this was a movie world. The people in this world were no longer like the NPCs in the game. They were real people. They could laugh, they could cry, they could love, they could hate, they could yearn for, they could feel helpless …
With a flip of his right hand, a Type 54 pistol appeared in his hand. Ye Xuan roared, "Die, I!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! — —
Level 4 Firearms Proficiency gave Ye Xuan's marksmanship a boost. Coupled with his extraordinary agility, his marksmanship was like a tiger that had grown wings. Each shot injured at least one of the men in black.
"Ah! Oh no, he has a gun! "
"Ah! My hand, my hand! "
"Oh no, I've been shot. My foot, my foot …"
In just a few breaths, a few men were injured. They howled in pain and the enemy's formation was in chaos. The number of arrows shot at Ye Xuan decreased significantly.
"Oh no, let's retreat!" When Hong Lie saw that Ye Xuan had a gun and that his marksmanship was amazing, he was able to injure a few of his brothers in just a few breaths. He immediately ordered his uninjured brothers to shoot at Ye Xuan who was hiding behind the wooden shield. At the same time, he ordered the injured men to get on their horses and retreat.
Several arrows were fired at the same time. For a moment, Ye Xuan was suppressed behind the wooden shield, unable to raise his head. When he heard the sound of galloping horses, he saw that all the men in black had already mounted their horses and were galloping along the street.
Bang! Bang!
Looking at the men in black running away on their horses, Ye Xuan unwillingly chased after them. He raised his gun and fired a few shots. But because he was too far away, he missed his target.
"Ah Hsuan, are you alright?" Huang Fei-hung came to Ye Xuan's side in a flash. He looked at Ye Xuan's face which was full of murderous intent and asked worriedly.
"Master, I'm fine. I just couldn't stop those thieves. I'm sorry, Master!" Ye Xuan lowered his head and said unwillingly.
"It's good that you're fine. Let's go back and put out the fire!" Huang Fei-hung smiled and patted Ye Xuan's shoulder. He smiled generously and walked back to Poh Chi Lam as if nothing had happened.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Xuan looked at the end of the street where the men in black had disappeared. He turned around and chased after Huang Fei-hung back to Poh Chi Lam.
