Urban All-Round Master

”Who are you?!”

Jiao Wenlong instantly tensed up. Seeing the man walk in and kill someone on the spot, a huge wave of fear surged in his heart. Could it be that people from the Holy Hall had already come for him, that they’d found out he’d been spreading rumors outside?

”The one who’s here to kill you.” Shao Huo said blandly. He then waved his hand, and the four cultivators behind him struck at Jiao Wenlong almost simultaneously. Faced with these four experts whose cultivation was far from ordinary, Jiao Wenlong quickly retreated.

He grabbed a wine bottle from the table and hurled it over, then seized the screaming hostess to use her as a human shield. But no matter how he tried to escape, the four of them had already locked him in from four different corners; he had absolutely no way to get out.

”Fight our way out!” Jiao Wenlong roared loudly. The young cultivator behind him had already been scared stupid by the intruders; just as he made a move, his skull was blown open by a merciless shotgun blast.

Jiao Wenlong panicked and, thinking fast in his desperation, darted toward the glass window behind him. But just as his body was halfway out, his legs were hooked from behind. No matter how hard he tried to struggle free, the four pairs of hands clamped onto him like iron tongs; there was simply no way to break loose.

”Crack!”

One of them swung a fist and smashed into his knee joint. With a sharp crack, Jiao Wenlong’s knee was directly broken. His painful wails echoed throughout the private room. Hearing the gunshot, a lot of people surged out from all over the casino, but Shao Huo had brought even more men and had the entire place surrounded; there was no way to break through.

The four men dragged the middle-aged man along like they were dragging a dead dog, hauling him to the sofa where Shao Huo was sitting, drinking.

These four were top experts of the Holy Hall, all four in the King Realm; dealing with this Qi Dao Realm cultivator was simply nothing worth mentioning.

”Do you know why I came looking for you?” Shao Huo narrowed his eyes slightly, quietly savoring the fine wine in his hand.

He was sitting on the sofa, yet his presence was astonishing. The middle-aged man was extremely terrified, afraid this guy would end his life at any moment—especially since he had just blown away the head of the man beside him with a single shot, scaring him so badly his legs were starting to go weak.

If possible, the other party would definitely kill him.

”I-I don’t know. I don’t know...”

”Oh? You don’t know? Heh, you’ve been out there loudly spreading rumors about our Holy Hall these past few days more than a couple of times, haven’t you? When you were out stirring up those rumors, did you never think about what would happen to you?”

”I think you’re not ignorant of the Holy Hall’s strength. Besides, even if the backbone of the Holy Hall isn’t around, did you really think the Holy Hall could be toppled by little fleas like you?”

Shao Huo sneered. The Holy Hall’s intelligence network covered all of Zhonghai City; although it couldn’t spread across all of Huaxia, covering Zhonghai was no problem.

And this man surnamed Jiao in front of him had already slandered the Holy Hall more than once. The Holy Hall’s intelligence organization had practically been monitoring the tide of rumors every single day lately, yet this suicidal bastard surnamed Jiao hadn’t realized that a tiger with bared fangs was already watching him from behind.

”You’re Shao Huo from the Holy Hall!”

The man thought hard for a moment, and a familiar face suddenly flashed through his mind; with one glance he recognized Shao Huo.

”Looks like you’re not completely brain-dead.” Shao Huo gave two cold laughs and said, ”Who put you up to spreading those rumors? Tell me, and I’ll let you die with a little less pain. If you dare lie to me, don’t worry—when I, Shao Huo, do things, I’ve always been vicious and ruthless. Never doubt whether I have the means. I’ll make sure every last one of your family members, anyone still breathing, dies in the most brutal way I can think of!”

”Demon! You’re a demon!”

”Heh, a demon? In this day and age, it’s either you die or I do. Showing mercy to your enemy is being cruel to yourself. If I didn’t use some methods, do you really think I, Shao Huo, could still be alive?” Shao Huo sneered as he looked at him.

”If you know me, you should understand I, Shao Huo, have always struck with a venomous hand. Don’t force me to lay a finger on your family.”

”I-I’ll talk, I’ll talk!”

Forced into a corner, the man had no choice but to agree. Everyone knew that, within the Holy Hall, the most vicious man was none other than Shao Huo. Back when this bastard first came onto the scene, he had personally killed classmates who’d bullied him before.

He had even had his own girlfriend dragged off to be raped to death, then killed her himself—he was notorious for being vicious and ruthless, always a very ”unique” character within the Holy Hall.

On the streets of Zhonghai City, his name had long been like thunder in the ears; since he dared to say something, no one would think he was bluffing.

Very soon, under the pressure of these threats, the man spilled everything about the mastermind behind him.

Seeing Shao Huo’s expression grow calmer and calmer, the middle-aged man couldn’t help but speculate whether the other party might spare his life.

”Good. I hope what you said isn’t fake. If you dare deceive me, I’ll make sure you see that adorable daughter of yours and that beautiful flower of a wife down in Hell.”

”What! Shao, you can’t lay a hand on my wife and kid!”

”Relax, your wife should be warming someone’s bed right about now.” After saying that, Shao Huo gave two cold laughs. With a glance from his eyes, the four King Realm experts behind him casually twisted the middle-aged man’s neck, then calmly walked out of this underground casino...

The deaths of so many people in the casino once again alarmed the various underworld figures in Zhonghai City. They weren’t like those great sects, and they didn’t have deep foundations; under the Holy Hall’s control in Zhonghai City, they were merely struggling to survive in the cracks.

Now that the Holy Hall’s Assassination Hall’s Hall Master, Shao Huo, was personally hunting down rumor-mongers, those loudmouth complainers were living in constant anxiety...

And when the Big Handsome Guy came back, utterly dejected, everyone in the Holy Hall was shaken!

Because the Big Handsome Guy’s return wasn’t with Lin Zifeng. That meant Lin Zifeng hadn’t come back. If he hadn’t come back, then that meant...

Thinking of this, almost everyone in the Holy Hall felt their hearts clench. Could it be that Lin Zifeng had already fallen in the Western lands? Or perhaps...

When all the higher-ups of the Holy Hall gathered together, the Big Handsome Guy walked into the conference room with great difficulty. Usually, whenever he stepped into the conference room, he was obviously the resident clown.

But now?

The moment he walked into the conference room, his whole dog face looked terrible.

Like his asshole had gotten clogged while he was taking a dump.

”Dead Dog, where’s Brother Lin?”

Black Hawk and Red Hawk stepped forward and grabbed fistfuls of the Big Handsome Guy’s fur, shouting in agitation.

The Big Handsome Guy violently shook them off and roared, ”Don’t ask me, don’t ask me, don’t ask your old man! I still feel like I’m dreaming! Don’t come ask me!! Let me calm down for a bit.”

You could tell it wasn’t just everyone else who was emotionally unstable; even the usually goofy Big Handsome Guy was extremely worked up today, because... his mood and his emotions had sold him out.

The fact that Lin Zifeng still hadn’t returned meant it was very likely that, in the Western lands, he had already...

Thinking of this, everyone felt a wave of suffocation and didn’t dare let their thoughts go any further...

(This is the fifth Chapter today, counts as a small burst. Huahua has to write two books at the same time every day and is also busy with wedding stuff, honestly so busy I’m coughing blood. My back’s about to break from sitting all the time. Thanks to the brothers who voted and tipped today, and thanks to Fang Dada’s stories...)
