249: Brother Bear!!

“Die!” If he dared to treat him like this, he would pay the price!

Behind Bao Hui stood a circle of his subordinates, each holding weapons. It seemed Zhuang Sanming had no way to escape.

However, just as Bao Hui was about to strike, Zhuang Sanming suddenly shouted, “Brother Xiong!!”

“What?” Bao Hui was momentarily stunned, and the primal energy in his palm was a step too late.

“Rumble…”

Suddenly, a large wave of people surged from all directions. Because there were so many, their footsteps sounded like thunder.

“Boss, these are all people from the Third Elder!” a subordinate behind Bao Hui exclaimed.

Hundreds of people formed a circle, trapping Bao Hui and his men in the middle, and the tide of offense and defense was reversed.

Xiong Mao quickly moved from the back to the front, helped Zhuang Sanming up, and had someone look after him. All hundred people stood behind him, responding to his every call.

Wen Hui stood beside Xiong Mao, looking coldly at Bao Hui opposite them.

“Xiong Mao! What are you doing? The Old Gang Leader is still here. Are you trying to rebel?!”

Bao Hui knew that he was at a disadvantage. The people on his side totaled less than thirty, while he was surrounded by over a hundred.

The huge disparity in numbers made Bao Hui feel very frustrated at this moment.

He hadn’t expected Xiong Mao to have detected his intentions and acted preemptively!

The only comfort he could find was that most of Bao Hui’s subordinates were Martial Artists, and several of his trusted confidantes were present, including quite a few Level Three Martial Artists.

What good are numbers? Martial Artist level determines everything!

“Rebel? Rebel against whom, you?” Xiong Mao spread his hands. “Give up. You can’t win.”

Of course, Bao Hui wouldn’t give up just because of Xiong Mao’s words. He took out a firework, lit it, and with a “whoosh,” the firework flew into the sky and exploded.

“Bang!”

This was the signal flare Bao Hui had agreed upon with his people. If anything happened, they would rush to his aid as soon as the signal flare was lit.

“Aren’t you just relying on your numbers? Wait, my people will be here soon!” Although Bao Hui was temporarily at a disadvantage, he didn’t believe he had lost.

What are a hundred people? Once his people arrived, wouldn’t cutting down these hundred be like slicing melons and dicing vegetables?

Bao Hui thought resentfully, took out the healing potion he usually hoarded, and drank it. The wound on his abdomen wasn’t very deep, and the short knife was just an ordinary weapon; it couldn’t kill him at all.

Bao Hui was about to laugh triumphantly when he suddenly thought, if it was just like this, why would Zhuang Sanming go to such lengths to approach him and then stab him?

Could there be something strange about that knife?

Xiong Mao waved his hand, and a group of people immediately rushed out from behind him, engaging in battle with Bao Hui’s subordinates.

“Xiong Mao! Aren’t you afraid of the Old Gang Leader for doing this?!”

Bao Hui hadn’t expected Xiong Mao to actually start fighting. His people hadn’t arrived yet, so he could only stall for time.

Just then, Zhuang Sanming, who was sitting on the ground being looked after by several people, suddenly stood up shakily, sneering at Bao Hui: “Second Elder, I advise you to give up early. The position of Gang Leader will not be yours.”

“You’re talking nonsense!” Bao Hui’s heart pounded, but he was still very confident. A temporary victory didn’t mean the final result. When his people arrived, they would see what they could do!

“Whether I’m talking nonsense, you’ll know in a while.” Traces of blood still lingered on Zhuang Sanming’s lips, but his smile remained undiminished.

He was very excited.

Everything would be decided today.

Bao Hui, however, was furious. He had originally thought Zhuang Sanming was just a minor Level 2 Warrior, but he hadn’t expected him to have been hiding his true abilities!

Looking at the current situation, Zhuang Sanming must have colluded with Xiong Mao long ago!

Damn it, his illustrious reputation was actually deceived by an unknown nobody.

Thinking of this, Bao Hui, whose injuries had mostly recovered, could no longer hold back. He directly bypassed Xiong Mao and pounced towards Zhuang Sanming, who was behind Xiong Mao!

Thick primal energy condensed in his palms, and he was about to charge in front of Zhuang Sanming!

However, Zhuang Sanming wasn’t afraid at all; he was even very relaxed, as if Bao Hui’s target wasn’t him.

At the critical moment, Xiong Mao appeared in front of Zhuang Sanming.

“Your opponent is me.” He quickly parried Bao Hui’s palm strike and said lightly… The Axe Gang’s Second Branch.

This was one of the areas Bao Hui could actually control, primarily responsible for managing storerooms, stockpiling goods, and matters concerning manors and fields. It involved a lot of money, making it very important. While there were ordinary people stationed here, there were actually more Martial Artists.

Level 1 Martial Artists were the most numerous, with fewer than ten Level 2 Warriors, and only three Level Three Martial Artists. The leading Branch Master was Bao Hui’s confidant, a Level 4 Martial Artist.

At this time, people at the Second Branch had already seen the signal flare in the sky, so they quickly spread the word, then rapidly assembled.

“Quick, the boss is in danger, this way!”

The leader at the front directed them to run towards the dungeon. A group of people rushed after him. The Second Elder had even fired a signal flare, so the situation must be extremely urgent. They needed to get there quickly.

But just as they were rushing forward in a swarm, several figures suddenly appeared in front of them.

No, not just a few people.

There were three people leading at the very front, but behind these three, there were dozens more.

“You can’t leave.” Xiao Shen’s tone was calm, but no one could ignore the murderous intent in his eyes.

Xiao Shen, Feng Zhi, and Su Duo appeared in the sight of these people simultaneously, their expressions solemn.

“Who are you people? Get out of the way, don’t block my path!” The leader saw that he didn’t recognize any of these people, and they weren’t from the Axe Gang, so he planned to scare them away.

Time waits for no one. If these people left quickly, that would be fine. But if they continued to block the way, he wouldn’t be blamed if the people behind him started a massacre!

“Brother, those people behind them seem to be all from the Third Elder!” Someone recognized the group behind Xiao Shen and the others.

“Third Elder, Xiong Mao?” The leader frowned. If that were the case, it would be difficult to handle.

Xiao Shen ignored them and looked at the crowd in front, roughly counting: “Ten, twenty, thirty… A rough estimate, at least ninety people.”

As expected, it was indeed the financial hub of the Axe Gang.

“One person leading a team to fight thirty is enough. I can’t wait.” Feng Zhi rubbed his hands, his eyes filled with excitement.

How thrilling would it be to go head-to-head with so many people!!

A thousand days of internal strife, a moment for military action!

Today was the day to witness the results!

“Who wants to go first?”

“I’ll go first, I want to fight these thirty here!” Su Duo was also very excited. Although she had been fighting fierce beasts with her cousin every day during this period, this was her first time leading a team to fight so many people.
