"Chen Tang, what are you going to do?"

Mei Yingxue had a vague suspicion but still found it hard to believe.

"Stay here, don't move."

Chen Tang said, then leaped off the carriage and headed towards the Black Water Gang's branch.

Mei Yingxue's heart sank, and she quickly jumped down, grabbing Chen Tang's arm and whispering, "Chen Tang, don't be impulsive! The Black Water Gang has hundreds of guards here, even if you are a Cyan Dragon Guard, you can't handle so many people."

There was truth in her words.

If they all came at once, he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand them.

Chen Tang didn't plan on fighting them head-on anyway.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Chen Tang smiled slightly, reassuring her.

Mei Yingxue, who had stopped crying in the carriage, now had her eyes redden again upon hearing this.

These past days, she had truly experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and the fickleness of the world.

Ever since Mei Nianzhi encountered this disaster, former relatives and friends either kept their distance or severed ties, and some even took the opportunity to kick them while they were down.

When Mei Yingxue felt most helpless, Chen Tang stood up for her.

He even took her to confront the Black Water Gang!

Actually, Mei Yingxue misunderstood this point.

Even without her family's issue, Chen Tang would have come to cause trouble for the Black Water Gang.

"What are you guys doing, get lost!"

"This is Black Water Gang territory, parking here, are you looking for death!"

Before Chen Tang could move, two guards at the entrance of the Black Water Gang's branch saw the two of them and cursed, already walking over.

Yesterday, climbing Snow Mountain, Chen Tang didn't wear the Cyan Dragon Bureau's Armor Sword.

Most of the Black Water Gang members were transferred here from other places, so they didn't recognize Chen Tang.

Chen Tang heard the curses from behind and turned to look at them, his expression calm.

The two Black Water Gang members saw Chen Tang daring to stare back at them, seemingly with a hint of provocation, and felt a surge of anger.

"What are you looking at, brat!"

One of them cursed, swinging his arm in a wide arc and bringing his hand down hard to slap Chen Tang's face, with great force!

As this person moved, Chen Tang was even faster.

With a Tiger Step forward, ignoring the slap, he extended his arm and threw a straight punch, striking directly!

Thud!

The punch landed on the person's chest with a dull sound!

This person was instantly sent flying by Chen Tang's punch, mid-air, already spewing blood, barely breathing.

Someone who hasn't reached Entry Level couldn't withstand a punch from Chen Tang!

The other Black Water Gang member's expression changed drastically and instinctively reached for the long knife at his waist.

But just as his hand touched the hilt, Chen Tang took a step forward, reaching him, and simultaneously extended his palm, gripping his wrist tightly!

"Ah!"

He felt an excruciating, piercing pain in his wrist and couldn't help but scream.

It felt like Chen Tang's palm wasn't flesh and blood, but a massive iron clamp, squeezing his wrist tighter and tighter.

Crack!

A chilling sound echoed.

The man rolled his eyes in pain, nearly fainting.

His wrist was crushed by Chen Tang's palm!

Chen Tang nodded secretly.

The Great Strength Vajra Hand indeed has considerable power.

After just one day of cultivation, his palm's strength had improved greatly, significantly boosting both his Fist Technique and Finger Power!

The screams at the entrance had already alerted the Black Water Gang members.

"Who dares to cause trouble at my Black Water Gang!"

Chen Tang casually took the long knife from the Black Water Gang member's waist, kicked him aside, withdrew the knife from its sheath, and headed towards the Black Water Gang's branch.

In the blink of an eye, a dozen Black Water Gang members rushed out.

"Where is your Squad Leader, let him come out and see me."

Chen Tang raised his voice.

"What kind of mutt are you, daring to meet our Squad Leader!"

A Black Water Gang member cursed, charging with the others holding knives.

Chen Tang sneered, wielding the knife into the crowd.

Clang! Clang!

A series of weapon clashes, sparks flying, and blood spraying everywhere.

Chen Tang's charge was like a tiger among sheep, wherever he passed, people were overturned, blood was spilt and bodies fell!

In no time, a dozen Black Water Gang members were left in disarray, running for their lives.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Help, quickly!"

Someone crawled and rolled back, shouting loudly.

"Don't panic, follow my orders!"

A bald man arrived at the square, shouting.

"Squad Leader Lv..."

The crowd greeted him one after another.

Chen Tang charged into the Black Water Gang's branch, scanning around, immediately locking onto the bald man in the square!

Capture the leader first.

Only by seizing this Squad Leader amid the chaos can there be a decisive resolution.

If this person is allowed to organize hundreds of Black Water Gang members, with the Eighth Grade and Ninth Grade Martial Artists restraining him and others attacking in succession, he wouldn't be able to hold his ground.

Chen Tang made several Tiger Leaps in succession, using Body Technique to avoid the Black Water Gang members blocking his way, heading straight for the bald man!

At the same time, several skilled individuals from other directions were also gathering here.

Judging by their Body Technique, it was clear they had reached Entry Level.

Some might even be of the Eighth Grade!

The bald man saw Chen Tang charging over; unhurriedly, he drew the large sword from his back, let out a loud shout, and instead of retreating, he advanced, slashing towards Chen Tang's head!

This sword wielded by the bald man was not an ordinary waist sword or a personal sword, but a long saber, with a longer handle.

An inch longer, an inch stronger.

Chen Tang's blade couldn't reach him, while his long saber could already slash at Chen Tang's body!

This is one of the greatest advantages of many long weapons.

Even without entry-level strength, an ordinary man holding a spear, with some training and coordinated formation, can continuously thrust forward, making it quite troublesome for an entry-level martial artist, forcing them to avoid its edge.

Chen Tang did not want to entangle with these people for long; he instantly entered the Divine Illumination state, slightly sidestepping.

Swish!

The blade's edge almost grazed Chen Tang's nose, dangerously close!

At Chen Tang's Eighth Grade realm, he wouldn't dare take such a risk without being in the Divine Illumination state.

He couldn't yet master such precision, down to the finest detail.

But in the Divine Illumination state, everything is different.

Avoiding the oncoming blade, Chen Tang swiftly closed the distance between them!

The bald man's slash missed, leaving his chest wide open, revealing a large gap.

Chen Tang's long sword, following through, already rested on the bald man's neck!

"Anyone who dares move, I'll separate his head from his body!"

Chen Tang shouted loudly.

The chilling edge of the blade made the bald man's hair stand on end.

"Nobody move!"

The bald man paled and quickly shouted out.

In such a short time, over a hundred people had already gathered around.

If Chen Tang hadn't subdued the bald man, he might have been swallowed by the sea of people, making it difficult to escape.

Without wasting words, Chen Tang stepped forward, using the newly learned Dragon-Subduing Hand to grab the joint at the back of the bald man's neck, lifting his entire body into the air.

Though Chen Tang had only practiced this Dragon-Subduing Hand a few times and lacked combat experience, it was still easy enough to hold someone who didn't dare to move.

With one hand holding the bald man up and the other wielding the long sword, none of the Black Water Gang dared to stop him, and they all parted to make way.

"May I know how to address you, friend?"

A steward from the Black Water Gang stood out, speaking in a deep voice, "I'm curious to know how our Black Water Gang might have offended you?"

"I seem to remember this person."

Just then, a member of the Black Water Gang whispered.

This member was an old hand here. He had survived the bloody night at the County Government Office a month ago and had some impression of Chen Tang.

"Who is he?"

"He seems to be named Chen Tang. A few months ago, our Young Leader slashed him over thirty times, but I didn't expect him to still be alive."

"Is it because of that matter?"

"Steward Jiang, what should we do? Are we just going to let him take Squad Leader Lv away?"

"Yes, many of our Black Water Gang have been injured; we cannot let him leave alive!"

The members of the Black Water Gang were fervent.

"Hmph!"

Steward Jiang's eyes grew dark as he contemplated, "Let's follow for now and wait for a chance to strike and rescue the Squad Leader."

Chen Tang brought the bald man back to the carriage.

Though subdued by Chen Tang, the bald man remained unusually calm, letting out a cold laugh, saying slowly, "Friend, you've gotten yourself into big trouble."

He knew well that Chen Tang wouldn't dare kill him!

If he died, the Black Water Gang would undoubtedly swarm and hack Chen Tang and his companions to pieces!

"Oh?"

Chen Tang smiled lightly, "How big could it be? Is your Young Leader going to come?"

"For something like this, our Young Leader won't need to show up!"

"Then it seems it's not quite big enough yet."

Chen Tang took some rope and first tied up the bald man.

"It's you?"

Seeing Mei Jixian and Mei Yingxue siblings in the carriage, the bald man glared at them maliciously, gritting his teeth, "You dare to retaliate!"

The bald man thought Chen Tang was a helper brought by Mei Yingxue.

Despite the smell of alcohol and his dazed appearance, Mei Jixian shivered at the sight of the bald man, shrinking into the corner of the carriage, unable to conceal his fear.

It was Mei Yingxue who clenched her fists, withdrew a dagger from her waist, and a trace of killing intent flashed across her face!

This young girl seemed to have changed somewhat through these events.

"Don't kill him yet."

Chen Tang said, "We need to head back to Wu'an County, a distance of over two hundred miles. This person acts as a charm of safety."

With the bald man in hand, members of the Black Water Gang would be cautious and somewhat apprehensive.

Of course, Chen Tang didn't think this was enough assurance; he drove the carriage directly toward the County Government Office.

Over three hundred members of the Black Water Gang followed behind, a menacing sight that frightened passersby into hastily avoiding them, faces full of terror.

Under the gaze of many, Chen Tang's carriage stopped at the entrance of the County Government Office.

"Hmph!"

Seeing this, Steward Jiang let out a faint sneer.

The County Government Office had some connections with them.

Seeking shelter at the County Government Office was truly wishful thinking!

The two governmental officials in front of the office, upon seeing the situation, hurriedly ran inside to report.

Shortly, the County Magistrate, the County Magistrate, and several Chief Constables, accompanied by numerous officials, came out.

"County Magistrate Zheng, we meet again."

Chen Tang sat on the carriage, smiling slightly.

Just as County Magistrate Zheng was about to burst with anger, he saw it was Chen Tang, shuddered in his heart, and quickly stepped forward with a smile, "So it's Lord Chen."

The County Magistrate and others, upon seeing Chen Tang, all changed their expressions, hurrying forth to pay their respects.
