"Xu Dingjiang?" Ye Qing furrowed his brows—it was the first ti he had heard this na, and he wasn't sure what involvent this person had in these affairs.
"It's just a pity, when my n stopped him, he was already dead. I only found this tape on his body and no other clues," Huangfu Ziyu said with a slight smile, "But, the content in this tape is indeed very fascinating. Ye Qing, you will understand once you listen to it when you get back!"
Ye Qing looked at the tape in his hand—knowing that Huangfu Ziyu was always composed in his actions. It seed this tape must contain so important clues.
Both Shangguan Tian and Li Wenyuan's expressions changed again. Upon hearing the na Xu Dingjiang, they were already frightened. Now, knowing that Xu Dingjiang was dead only shocked them further. Who had killed Xu Dingjiang?
"Ye Qing, this tape can essentially help you find the murderer. That is to say, I have also accomplished the second task you asked of . Initially, I wanted to find Shangguan Tian and Li Wenyuan to confirm this matter. However, now that you have found your way here, there's no need for to bother!" Huangfu Ziyu said with a light smile, "The rest of the matter is yours to handle. I won't interfere. If you still need my help, you can call . But rember, the more you ask of , the more you owe . Heh, if you owe too much, even offering yourself in return might not be enough!"
Words like offering oneself in return coming from the mouth of the heavenly beautiful Huangfu Ziyu would sound like divine music to any man. How many n would wish to offer themselves to a woman like Huangfu Ziyu? However, hearing this, Ye Qing felt more anxiety than joy. After all, he knew that Huangfu Ziyu was the type of woman who could gently speak to you as she was about to kill you.
After mating, the female praying mantis will eat the male. How many n would willingly die like that?
"Miss Huangfu, I will forever rember the debt I owe you," Ye Qing pocketed the tape, turned to look at Shangguan Tian and Li Wenyuan, and said in a solemn voice, "Shangguan Tian, Li Wenyuan, are you still going to struggle?"
Li Wenyuan had already collapsed, and mbers of the Xingyi School had retreated. Shen Baichuan had even been scared away. With Huangfu Ziyu, a monstrous-level ally, now on Ye Qing's side, he knew he was utterly dood.
Shangguan Tian, however, clenched his teeth. Just as Ye Qing started moving toward him, he suddenly pulled a gun from his pocket, aid it at Ye Qing, and shouted, "Don't co any closer, or I'll shoot!"
Ye Qing imdiately stopped. He hadn't expected Shangguan Tian to still possess firearms. In fact, having been in Shenchuan City for such a long ti, he had seen no one use guns here, except for that incident involving Luo Caiyun and the police. The city, despite its prosperity, seed wholly imrsed in the era of cold weapons; he had not prepared for anyone having a gun.
"Oh, you're using a gun!" Huangfu Ziyu's eyes lit up as she said with a light laugh, "Gang Leader Shangguan, now, I don't see anyone who can save you. You should be aware, in the Southern Six Provinces, the underworld and the lawful side have a joint prohibition against guns. If you use a gun, neither the lawful nor the unlawful will let you off!"
Li Wenyuan was also panicked, looking at Shangguan Tian with astonishnt and anxiously saying, "Shangguan Tian, have you lost your mind? Using a gun? Even if you survive today, you'll undoubtedly die tomorrow. The police will never let you off, neither will the martial arts world warriors, and even the underworld will pursue you!"
Huangfu Ziyu laughed, "We don't need martial arts warriors. If people at the teahouse find out about this, I doubt you'll even survive the night!"
Ye Qing was utterly puzzled and looked at Huangfu Ziyu, asking, "Why do you say that?"
"Don't you know?" Huangfu Ziyu said, "In the Southern Six Provinces, everyone on both the lawful and unlawful sides has agreed that no matter what happens, firearms cannot be used; it's a major taboo. If soone uses a gun, they will beco the enemy of everyone, and it is the responsibility and duty of all to kill him!"
Ye Qing suddenly realized. Now he understood why in Shenchuan City, despite there being so many wealthy and powerful individuals, the use of guns was rarely seen.
"That Luo Caiyun who brought a group of gunn to kill you last ti, has already been killed," Du Tianyi added, "And those from the Fang Family involved with the matter, were all killed. Others were driven out of the Southern Six Provinces and are forever forbidden from setting foot in the Southern Six Provinces again. This is the prohibition!"
No wonder after that incident, Fang Tian died, but the Fang Family did not trouble Ye Qing. Now he finally understood. The Fang Family had been completely driven out of the Southern Six Provinces because of Luo Caiyun's use of guns!
"Gang Leader Shangguan, don't make a huge mistake!" Li Wenyuan anxiously looked at Shangguan Tian, "The death of Tie Yongwen has nothing to do with us; they might not necessarily kill us. But if you use a gun, you're truly dood!"
"Shut up!" Shangguan Tian roared angrily, looking up and shouting, "Everyone co out!"
Following Shangguan Tian's shout, a flurry of footsteps was heard from upstairs. Soon, Shangguan Tian's brother, Shangguan Qing, appeared on the second floor followed by twenty to thirty n, each ard with a gun, aiming at everyone below.
This ti, even Huangfu Ziyu slightly furrowed her delicate brows.
Huangfu Ziyu was not afraid of the guns, but in such a situation, casualties were inevitable. Especially Black Bear over there, who was severely injured and didn't have the strength to dodge. If the people upstairs started shooting, Black Bear would surely be dead!
"Gang Leader Shangguan!?" Li Wenyuan's eyes widened in shock, he hadn't expected Shangguan Tian to have arranged so many people in ambush here.
"Li Wenyuan, your thods won't work anymore!" Shangguan Tian looked coldly at everyone here and said sternly, "These are all experts. We can't beat them in a fight. Without guns, how can we compete with them?"
"If you use guns, do you think you can live much longer?" Huangfu Ziyu sneered.
"Without guns, I won't survive tonight. With guns, I can at least survive the night!" Shangguan Tian said coldly, "I have already arranged for a boat. After I kill you all, I will imdiately leave this country by boat. Can you chase overseas to kill ? Hmph, you forced into this. Today, I will kill you all!"
"Shangguan Tian, do you think you can kill us all with these guns?" Ye Qing said coldly, "Comparing gun skills with , you are not qualified!"
Shangguan Tian said coldly, "Don't try to scare . I've staked it all, and I'm ready to give up my life at any mont. If I kill one, I consider it a profit. If I kill a pair, I profit from two. Do you want to try?"
"Shangguan Tian, we weren't planning to kill you, we just wanted to ask you about the matter of my master's murder!" Du Tianyi shouted, "Don't make a grave mistake!"
"Damn it, at this point, is there a chance to turn back?" Shangguan Tian raised his gun, aiming at Ye Qing and roared, "It's you, you bumpkin, who forced us into this situation. Hmph, if I can't have Shenchuan City, don't you think about reigning here either. Let's die together!"
As Shangguan Tian was about to pull the trigger, a very eerie laughter suddenly ca from outside the window: "Jie jie jie, jie jie jie…"
This laughter was like that of a demon hiding in the shadows, spying on everyone and laughing. Moreover, the laughter ca intermittently from the east and west, making it impossible to pinpoint its source, further casting doubts on whether it was a ghost.
Hearing this laughter, Shangguan Tian couldn't help but look around. The gunn on the second floor also looked around, trying to figure out what was happening.
At that mont, Huangfu Ziyu suddenly stood up, grabbed two cups from the table, and threw them at the second floor, shouting, "Attack!"
Ye Qing and Du Tianyi did not hesitate and also made their moves, grabbing wine bottles and vases to throw upwards, knocking down several people.
"Fire! Fire!" Shangguan Tian urgently shouted, but it was already too late. Unknown to them, several more people had suddenly appeared on the second floor, led by a man wearing a mask, naly Cui Yu.
As Cui Yu made his move, he instantly used a silver thread to entangle the guns from three people's hands. anwhile, Demon Queen He Qinghua also erged from nowhere and pressed three gunn to the ground. The throats of these three were snapped, and they did not even know how they had died.
On the other side, six or seven gunn had their weapons aid over. However, before they could fire, they heard a clang sound, like the roar of a dragon in the skies, which startled everyone. And in that instant, a black long blade descended from the sky, skewering two people together.
The remaining five gunn were terrified and turned to look, but Cui Yulong had already charged in front of them. He reached for the handle of the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade, swinging it in a circle and rushing forward, decimating all five under his blade without anyone able to resist.
On this side, seven gunn were taken down by Cui Yulong alone. And the fresh blood on the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade began to rge into the blade itself, making it appear even more sinister. The na Evil Blade was truly fitting!
As these people rushed out, another two also charged forward, taking down the remaining gunn. anwhile downstairs, the sudden appearance of these individuals startled Shangguan Tian so much that he trembled, holding the gun without knowing whom to aim at. While hesitating, an eerie laughter suddenly sounded behind him.
Shangguan Tian hurriedly turned, but there was no one behind him, while the laughter echoed from another side once more. Turning again, he still did not see anyone. After several turns and still seeing no one, he completely broke down. Holding the gun, he fired wildly around until all the bullets were gone, still frantically pulling the trigger, like a madman.
