”How dare you!”

Watching Young Master Xiao Hu pounce toward him like a ferocious tiger, Chen Ping’an narrowed his eyes and roared.

SHWIIIING!

The saber in Chen Ping’an’s hand chopped straight at Young Master Xiao Hu.

At this moment, Chen Ping’an held nothing back with his Sword Skill.

The Great Success Level of the Public Door Thirteen Sabers appeared incredibly powerful.

The speed of the strike far exceeded Young Master Xiao Hu’s expectations. His sudden attack was swift, but he was empty-handed. According to his plan, this one pounce should have delivered Chen Ping’an into his grasp, to be dealt with as he pleased.

But now...

A flash of white streaked past under the moonlight, too fast for Young Master Xiao Hu to dodge. It was as if his pounce had carried him directly onto the blade’s edge.

”Get lost!”

Young Master Xiao Hu roared. The Qi Blood throughout his body surged as he tried to use its tyrannical power to block the strike.

His Skin Refining was accomplished, making his skin like thin cowhide. His Muscle Training was accomplished, granting him boundless strength.

If Chen Ping’an’s strike was all for show and lacked substance, then even if the blade cut him, he would at most suffer a minor injury. It wouldn’t be a critical wound. By tanking the blow, he would still have a chance to grab Chen Ping’an and use the opportunity to break through the encirclement.

SQUELCH!

Young Master Xiao Hu’s eyes widened as if he had just witnessed something impossible.

Under the moonlight, Chen Ping’an stood holding his great saber, its blade stained with fresh blood.

THUD!

Young Master Xiao Hu’s body fell heavily to the ground.

”Hhhh... hhhh...”

Young Master Xiao Hu clutched his throat as blood soaked his hand, staining it crimson. He wanted to say something, but with his windpipe slit, no words could escape.

’This Sword Skill...’

Just now, Chen Ping’an had seized an incredibly rare opening, bypassing the guard of his arm and slicing directly across his neck.

Chen Ping’an’s execution of the Public Door Thirteen Sabers was flawless!

Just like Father Chen back in the day!

”This is impossible!”

Having witnessed the entire exchange, Tan Huacong stared in disbelief at Young Master Xiao Hu, who had fallen to the ground, clutching his throat as blood sprayed everywhere.

Young Master Xiao Hu of the Tiger Head Gang, Master Hu’s renowned adopted son! This was a master who had achieved Perfect Muscle Training in the Qi Blood Second Realm!

With a single strike, Young Master Xiao Hu was brought to the brink of death.

’This Sword Skill... It’s unbelievable!’

Tan Huacong’s face was filled with shock.

Young Master Xiao Hu’s Qi Blood was powerful. Even with his throat slit, he still clung to life for a moment.

Chen Ping’an walked up with an indifferent expression and stood before Young Master Xiao Hu.

”Young Master Xiao Hu, it’s time to go.”

SHWING!

A flash of the blade, and Young Master Xiao Hu’s body collapsed. In his final moments, his gaze on Chen Ping’an was still filled with horror and fear.

”Thank you for the extension, Young Master Xiao Hu. Take care, Young Master Xiao Hu.”

”Young Master Xiao Hu is merciful. Thank you, Young Master Xiao Hu.”

”...”

The image in his mind was still of the humble, smiling youth with his head bowed.

That image froze on Chen Ping’an’s utterly indifferent face as he struck, then was suddenly extinguished, ending Young Master Xiao Hu’s life.

The Tiger Head Gang’s Protector, Young Master Xiao Hu, was dead!

The surrounding constables, along with the Tiger Head Gang’s ruffians and servants, all stared at Young Master Xiao Hu’s body on the ground, their faces filled with horror.

Young Master Xiao Hu, a great master who had achieved Perfect Muscle Training in the Qi Blood Second Realm!

Dead? Just like that?

Killed by Chen Ping’an!

In the entire process, Chen Ping’an had only used two moves: one to bring him to the brink of death, and another to finish him off!

”The Great Success Level of the Public Door Thirteen Sabers isn’t half bad!”

Chen Ping’an held his great saber and looked at Young Master Xiao Hu’s corpse, a slight change appearing on his indifferent face.

After holding it in for so long, he finally felt some relief! ’Next up, there’s still...’

Chen Ping’an turned and glanced at Tan Huacong.

Tan Huacong met his gaze and was terrified, his forehead instantly breaking out in a cold sweat.

THUMP! THUMP!

Tan Huacong’s heart began to pound wildly.

Chen Ping’an merely glanced at Tan Huacong before turning his head away.

”The ringleader has been executed! Those who resist will be shown no mercy!”

With Young Master Xiao Hu dead, the remaining ruffians of the Tiger Head Gang lost all courage to fight. Even Young Master Xiao Hu, at Qi Blood Second Realm Perfection, was no match, so what chance did they have?

The morale of the Tiger Head Gang members in this stronghold instantly collapsed, and one by one, they gave up resisting.

Of course, a few ruffians still tried to flee, but they were all taken down by the constables of the Garrison Commandant’s Office.

In a very short time, this Tiger Head Gang stronghold was completely seized, and the situation was brought under control.

”Leave a few men here to stand guard! The rest of you, with me, to provide support!”

Seeing the Tiger Head Gang members were completely under control, Chen Ping’an immediately led his men out.

’Tonight, my target isn’t just Young Master Xiao Hu, but the entire Tiger Head Gang!’

The main force of the Tiger Head Gang wasn’t here. Right now, on the other side of Tiger Run Lane, a tough battle should still be raging.

...

Inside Tiger Run Lane, at the Tiger Head Gang’s headquarters, the area was brightly lit by firelight.

The constables of the Garrison Commandant’s Office and the members of the Tiger Head Gang were already locked in a chaotic brawl. Among the rank-and-file, the constables of the Garrison Commandant’s Office clearly had a huge advantage. A single constable could easily handle one or two ruffians.

In terms of core strength, the official constables of the Garrison Commandant’s Office also held a significant advantage.

But when it came to high-end combatants, the Garrison Commandant’s Office didn’t have much of an edge.

In the very center of the fray, Constable Li, Constable Huang, and Constable Liu were fighting against the Tiger Head Gang’s leader, Master Hu, and Vice Gang Leader, Master Qing.

Constable Liu was originally part of a mobile unit, but after rounding up some of the Tiger Head Gang ruffians, he had come to provide support.

Although Master Hu was old and his strength was waning, having stepped into the Bone Forging Realm, he was not someone any of the three constables could handle alone.

Among the three, Constable Li was the strongest, at Qi Blood Three Realms Perfection. He was on the same level as Vice Gang Leader Master Qing.

The current situation was that Constable Li was locked in an even match with the Tiger Head Gang’s Vice Gang Leader, Master Qing, while Constable Liu and Constable Huang fought Master Hu together.

For the moment, they were evenly matched.

The Tiger Head Gang’s leader, Master Hu, wielded a giant weapon resembling a Big Gate Saber, continuously parrying the attacks of the two constables.

”Damn it! Damn it!”

Although the two men before him were only at the Qi Blood Three Rejuvenation Realm, their teamwork was impeccable and their moves were seasoned. Even after a long fight, he still couldn’t get the upper hand.

”A tiger stranded on the plains is bullied by dogs!”

The more Master Hu fought, the angrier he became.

If he were still in his prime, how would these two dare to bully him like this! Even if they joined forces, he could have broken through their defenses and defeated them one by one.

But now...

He was old and weak, his strength no longer matching his will.

The sound of weapons clashing rang out again and again.

The Tiger Head Gang’s Vice Gang Leader, Master Qing, was using twin axes, locked in a desperate struggle with Constable Li. His mind was filled with questions.

’Why did the Garrison Commandant’s Office suddenly move against the Tiger Head Gang?’

But obviously, after fighting for so long, no one had given him an answer.
