The Four Seas Gambling House was located in the center of the East Market. From the Four Seas Gambling House to the Xu Ji Drugstore in the West Market, one had to pass through four main streets.
Usually, the shops on these streets would close early because of the curfew. Today was the birthday banquet of the White Horse Gang's leader, Wang Gui. Everyone had gone early in the morning to celebrate, so they closed earlier than usual.
At night, there was not a single pedestrian on the streets. The shopkeepers were all squatting at home, covering their wives' hot pits.
The servants and manservants were also covering themselves with their blankets. The entire street was very quiet, except for a dozen people who were in a hurry.
It was the group of people from the Green Bamboo Sect who had just left the Four Seas Gambling House. Their faces were gloomy, and they were in a hurry. After passing through these streets, they would arrive at their own territory. When the time came, their brothers would be there, so everything would be fine.
Tonight, they had caused a ruckus at Wang Gui's birthday banquet. Although they had not achieved their goal, they had still taken away more than a million taels of silver from the White Horse Gang.
Wang Gui was probably fuming with rage. Li Shida, who was walking in front, was pleased with himself, but he did not dare to show it on his face.
He could not afford to offend Tong Chi. Even the Gang Leader, Xu Kaishan, was very respectful to him. Tong Chi had not given Li Minda any face along the way.
Along the way, Tong Sha tried to ask Tong Chi why the fight ended in a draw. However, all he got was a cold snort from Tong Chi, so he did not dare to ask any more questions.
The moon was dark, and the wind was strong. As soon as the group left the East Market, they saw a few peddlers still selling midnight snacks. There were also a few guests eating snacks at the stalls.
Li Minda and the three Incense Masters saw the situation in front of them and immediately raised their spirits. They each took out the weapons they carried with them. It was so late, and there were still diners. They were most likely evil guests.
At this time, the peddlers and diners at the stalls did not bother to disguise themselves. They took out the weapons in their hands and surrounded them. The White Horse Gang's martial masters came out of the surrounding alleys in twos and threes.
In front of them was a youth carrying a broadsword. Li Minda focused and saw that it was the White Horse Gang's Junior Gang Ren Liang leading the group.
The White Horse Gang was waiting for Li Minda and the others on their way back. Ren Liang and Wang Bao each led a team to block the two roads.
The two people agreed that whoever blocked the Green Bamboo Sect's people would immediately notify the other team. At this time, the scouts in the surroundings had already rushed to report to Wang Bao.
As long as Ren Liang could delay the Green Bamboo School for half an incense stick's worth of time, Wang Bao and his men would be able to surround them.
At that time, relying on the human wave tactic, they would be able to drag Li Minda and the others to death. Not to mention, the three experts of the White Horse Gang were on their way.
Li Minda saw that the situation was not good, so he shot a whistling arrow into the air. The whistling arrow in the air produced the sound of a torch and flames.
It was especially eye-catching in the night sky above River Bend County Town. The Green Bamboo Sect members who were originally on standby now had a clear target and hastily rushed over from various roads in Xi City to provide reinforcements.
The whistling arrow also gave the White Horse Gang's martial artists a clear location.
Wang Bao had already received the news from the scout. He immediately spurred his horse and led the group to the place where the fire had flashed.
Li Minda and the others saw that the situation was far from good, the longer they stayed, the more dangerous it would be. Thereupon Zhang and Liu, two Xiangzhu opened the way and charged straight toward Ren Liang.
Liu Xiangzhu had just reached Houtian Realm Level Seven. At this moment, he leaped forward and stabbed his long sword at Ren Liang. The two of them started exchanging blows.
The Green Bamboo Sect's Li Minda and the others' martial arts were higher than the other party. In a one-on-one fight, no one from the White Horse Gang was a match for them.
However, the group still had Tong Chi and Tong Sha. Tong Sha's fighting ability was even worse, so he needed someone to protect him from the side at all times.
Ren Liang also saw this point. His subordinates picked up the sleeping gas cans and threw them at Tong Chi and the others to delay for time.
Some even picked up fishing nets and threw them at everyone. These were the same robberies that the White Horse Gang used on the people of the Green Bamboo Sect.
Li Minda and the others picked up their swords and sabers to cut open the fishing nets. They took the Tong Chi brothers and fled in a sorry state.
Although the Green Bamboo Sect members' martial arts were profound, they could not display even half of their martial arts in this kind of environment. At this time, they could only hope that the Green Bamboo Sect's reinforcements would arrive first.
Unexpectedly, the sound of horse hooves could be heard. The three leaders of the White Horse Gang rode their horses and charged over.
The leader, Wang Gui, did not even have time to change out of his birthday banquet clothes. He held a saber in his left hand and rode his horse in his right hand. Ren Binghai and Tu Jiaojiao were on his left and right respectively. Behind them, Ren Kui rode his horse and followed.
Yi Tian sat behind Ren Kui and looked ahead. This Tu Jiaojiao had a fat waist and strong arms. He did not expect that she would not lose to Wang Gui on horseback. It seemed that they all started out as bandits and robbers, so their basic skills were practiced to perfection.
They saw Wang Gui jump his horse and block in front of Li Minda and the others. His right hand pulled out his saber and attacked with the unique skill of the Five Tigers Breaking the Gate Saber Technique, One Saber Cleaving the Mountain.
Li Minda and Zhang Xiangzhu braced themselves and waved their swords and staffs together to block. The web between their thumb and forefinger split open. Wang Gui was sitting on his horse and could not borrow the strength of his saber, so he flew off his horse.
Ren Binghai and Tu Jiaojiao hastily rushed over and stood on the left and right, surrounding the people of the Green Bamboo Sect.
Ren Kui and Yi Tian had just arrived and dismounted when they heard a loud and clear roar in the air. The people of the Green Bamboo Sect were overjoyed. The Gang Leader Xu Kaishan had arrived.
This Xu Kaishan's figure had not yet arrived, but his voice arrived first. Hearing this, Wang Gui frowned. Taking advantage of the fact that the old guy had not arrived, the three of them signaled each other with their eyes, and the three of them attacked the people above their heads.
Wang Gui and Ren Binghai's saber qi and Tu Jiaojiao's secret projectiles attacked from three sides simultaneously. Originally, they could have succeeded on the spot, but nobody knew when a layer of green aura appeared around them, blocking all the attacks from three directions.
Wang Gui was stunned. He was just about to change his move when he heard the whistling of the wind in his ears. A sharp sword qi mixed with the sound of the wind pierced toward him, so he had no choice but to evade for the time being.
Leaping up, he formed a triangle with Ren Binghai and Tu Jiaojiao, three people and assumed a defensive posture.
Xu Kaishan also leaped over. Looking at the situation, he frowned. They had been old rivals for many years, they knew each other's background very well. As soon as they arrived, they attacked directly, not even bothering to say anything.
Gang Leader Wang Gui and the other two people entangled Xu Kaishan, while they hastily called Ren Kui and Yi Tian to deal with Tong Chi and the others.
Yi Tian saw a burst of green aura flash a moment ago. Tong Chi of the Green Bamboo Sect used both hands to form a seal to block the joint attack of the three Gang Leaders. He was not alarmed, but rather delighted. It seemed that this guy was really something.
He called everyone to surround him. By this time, the Green Bamboo Sect and the White Horse Gang's reinforcements had arrived. The situation began to become chaotic.
Green Bamboo Sect's Li Minda, Tong Chi and the others were surrounded in the middle. The White Horse Gang's martial artists surrounded them on the outside, while the Green Bamboo Sect's reinforcements were on the outside. The people brought by Wang Bao were squeezed in the outermost area.
Nobody knew who shouted "Kill!", but everyone was thrown into chaos. Yi Tian mixed in with the crowd, slowly creeping in, looking for an opportunity.
The Tong Chi brothers had never seen such a big scene of gang fighting. If they were not careful, it was possible that they would be hit by the flying sabers and arrows. Tong Sha hastily hid behind Tong Chi.
Yi Tian saw that Tong Chi's head was sweating, as if he had overdrawn his physical strength after using the protection just now, but he did not dare to get too close to him.
Li Minda and Zhang Xiangzhu saw that the situation was not good, so they communicated with each other. The two of them exerted their full strength, forcing Ren Kui and the others to retreat.
The rest of the people exchanged injuries for injuries, forcing the people in the small alley to leave. The Tong Chi brothers took this as a good opportunity to enter the alley.
Yi Tian had already seen this with his eyes. Using the Absolute Shadow Steps, he leaped and flashed several times to catch up. Suddenly he saw a man in blue clothes flying over his head.
Turned out it was Ren Liang, who ran several times in a row, running ahead of Yi Tian.
The four of them ran wildly, turning around in the alley of the Southern City's residential area. Yi Tian followed the trail and found the Tong Chi brothers. He found that Ren Liang was one step ahead of him and was confronting each other. Yi Tian hid on the side to observe the situation.
Ren Liang did not waste any time and directly greeted them with his saber. Yi Tian saw that Tong Chi's hands were trembling violently, but he was still struggling to form a seal. Before Ren Kui's saber arrived, a green light flashed in front of Tong Chi's body. A wooden stake as thick as a bowl's mouth struck Ren Liang directly.
The latter spurted out a mouthful of blood. He was sent flying several feet away and fainted. Yi Tian secretly rejoiced that he did not stupidly rush forward. Otherwise, the one lying on the ground would definitely be him.
He saw Tong Chi supporting his younger brother, Tong Sha. Step by step, the two of them walked toward the next small alley.
Yi Tian was considering whether or not to follow. Looking at Ren Liang on the ground, he steeled his heart. Riches and honor are found in danger.
With two leaps, he flashed out from the wall of the residential area and rushed in front of the Tong Chi brothers. Both sides were stunned. They both had their own plans. Tong Chi said weakly, "Little Brother, this is a misunderstanding. If we don't fight, we won't get to know each other. Let's be friends. The banknotes here are all yours."
Yi Tian did not say anything. He drew his saber and slashed Tong Sha. With one slash, a line of blood appeared on Tong Sha's throat. Blood continuously gushed out. With his throat cut, Tong Sha clutched his throat and could not say a word.
Tong Chi saw that his younger brother was killed. His eyes were filled with tears. He used his last breath to support his body. His hands constantly formed seals. Fortunately, his physical strength was overdrawn. His movements were slower than before.
Yi Tian saw that the situation was not good. He repeatedly used the Vanishing Shadow Steps. He turned around and flashed behind Tong Chi. He chopped down on his head.
Tong Chi finished forming the seals but received a heavy blow to the back of his head. The wooden stake hit empty air without any target. Yi Tian was relieved. He thought that if he killed you, the things would not be his. How could he not understand such a simple principle?
After checking that the two of them were still breathing, Yi Tiantian was completely relieved. After plundering the belongings of the Tong Chi brothers, he found a private house's latrine and pushed the two corpses down. He did not dare to casually take the banknotes from the chest. The White Horse Gang's banknotes had a mark on them. If he took them, he was afraid that it would lead to a fatal disaster.
The White Horse Gang's birthday banquet allowed Yi Tian to see through the ways of the world. This time, he would let Wang Gui lose one million taels of silver. In any case, most of it was his ill-gotten wealth. Tomorrow, someone would pass by and take the banknotes.
The Green Bamboo Sect had tried to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it. They had lost the Tong Chi brothers. He still did not know how Xu Kaishan would resolve this matter.
On the way back, Yi Tian saw Wang Bao mounting a horse with Ren Liang on his back. He had taken Tong Chi's things, so he had to avoid trouble.
Everyone knew that an ordinary man was innocent, but treasuring a jade ring would arouse the envy of others. He would first return to the grain store in Bei City and put the things away. When he had the opportunity, he would carefully study it.
