Liu Ergou's medicinal wine was bought by him at a high price from a pharmacy in the inner city. Originally, he wanted to test its effects here in Hualiu Lane today, and for this, he even specifically hired two girls.
It was just to test the effect of this medicinal wine so that he could show off his virility when he went to the city's brothels later.
Walking on the street, at this time, the street was basically empty except for them.
The crescent moon in the sky emitted a faint pale glow.
On the empty street, besides their heavy panting, there was only the occasional dog bark in the distance.
"Let me tell you, when you see Old Five, don't anyone stop me..."
Liu Ergou mumbled incoherently, but after waiting for a while, there was no response from behind him.
But he didn't feel anything unusual and continued to mumble to himself.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and the chill of the night made him shiver involuntarily.
He tightened his clothes, and his drunkenness sobered up a bit. It was only then that he realized something was wrong.
He turned his head, and behind him, it was completely empty. Where were the figures of those few people?
"Where are they??"
He widened his eyes but found a pair of feet exposed under the moonlight at the corner of the alley.
Only then did he relax, assuming that these few people had gotten drunk and fallen asleep on the ground.
"A bunch of good-for-nothings!"
He frowned, turned around, and walked over, planning to kick these few people awake.
Outside the shadow of the alley, the exposed legs were still twitching occasionally.
From the black shoes with frayed seams, he could recognize that the owner of these legs was none other than Third Brother.
"Third Brother, you f*cking... hurry up and get up..."
He cursed, but there was still no response. He didn't think much of it, but as he walked closer, he felt the ground was a bit slippery.
A cold wind swept past, carrying a faint bloody smell.
That was the smell of blood.
He lowered his head in confusion to look. He only saw a large pool of dark red bloodstains covering the ground illuminated by the moonlight.
"This... something happened!!"
His drunkenness instantly sobered up, and this thought popped into his mind.
Before he could react, a strong gust of wind swept towards his face. It was incredibly fast, but he was a Martial Artist at the Body Tempering Realm after all, and his reaction was much faster than ordinary people.
Although he couldn't dodge, he raised his hands to block his face.
As a Body Tempering Martial Artist, he was confident that as long as he blocked this attack from the opponent, he would have a chance to catch his breath. Then, whether to escape or fight, it would be up to him. Moreover, this was Ya Gang's territory. As soon as he shouted, Ya Gang members would quickly come out to support him.
By then, no matter who dared to ambush him, they would definitely not escape.
However, with a bang, followed by the sound of bones shattering, which made one's teeth ache.
Liu Ergou felt as if he had been hit by a speeding carriage.
Both of his arms were instantly shattered and hung limply, and he himself stumbled back several steps before falling hard onto the ground.
"Ah!!"
The intense pain made him let out a sharp scream as soon as he opened his mouth. However, before the scream could fully erupt, a bowl-sized stone soaked in blood smashed onto his face.
With just one hit, his cheek was smashed in, and his head landed heavily on the hard floor tiles.
Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Soon, the second... the third hit. The dark red stone smashed down repeatedly until it had struck more than ten times before stopping.
Then the figure, holding the stone, turned and ran, but quickly came back, searched Liu Ergou's body for a bit, and then hurried away.
Squeak...
At the same time, as the weasel squeaked, it immediately alerted the two black-clothed figures in the distant alley.
"What's going on!?"
The tall black-clothed figure asked with a frown.
"Something's wrong, could something have happened!?"
The female black-clothed figure also frowned and said in a deep voice, looking at the weasel constantly circling.
"Let's go, let's take a look."
Hearing this, the black-clothed figures quickly darted out of the alley and headed towards Hualiu Lane.
The two of them were not far from Hualiu Lane to begin with, and they soon arrived on the main street.
They only saw a gray-clothed figure in the distance just disappearing at the end of the long street.
And on the long street not far away, a bloody and mangled figure was lying quietly on the street.
The weasel darted out from the woman and went towards the figure lying on the ground.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of the two black-clothed figures changed.
"Not good."
Their hearts jolted, and the two of them quickly ran over. Looking at the weasel constantly circling the figure, their faces immediately turned grim.
"It's Liu Ergou!"
At this moment, the figure on the ground had long been beaten beyond recognition, making it impossible to see any trace of their original appearance. The clothes on their body were also soaked red with blood.
However, judging from the weasel's actions, the person lying on the ground was indeed their target, Liu Ergou.
The person was in such a state that they were absolutely dead beyond dead.
"Damn it! How dare you ruin our plan! Don't let me catch you, or Grandpa will definitely chop you up."
The tall black-clothed figure's gaze fell on the end of the long street. He was already certain that the person who attacked was definitely the gray-clothed figure who had just disappeared at the end of the street.
Perhaps due to bad luck, just as the black-clothed figure was furious, a late-night customer returning home happened to come out of Hualiu Lane.
Seeing the scene in the alley, he immediately let out a loud shout.
"Murder! Someone's been murdered!! Quick, get someone!"
As the loud shout echoed from the silent night.
Because this was Ya Gang's territory, and Hualiu Lane was an industry highly valued by Ya Gang, there were quite a few Ya Gang members nearby.
Hearing the shout at this moment, many people immediately rushed out.
"Not good, let's go quickly!"
At this moment, the tall black-clothed figure could no longer care about anything else. He quickly called out and sped towards an alley.
"Where are they? They're over there, don't let them escape!!"
Because only the two of them were standing on the long street in such a dangerous situation, the Ya Gang members who rushed out saw the two black-clothed figures at a glance. Without any hesitation, they shouted and chased after the two of them.
The two of them were skilled and fast, not comparable to these ordinary Ya Gang members. However, what they didn't expect was that just as they climbed over the wall, sounds of air being torn apart rang out.
It turned out to be crossbow bolts shooting towards them.
In their haste, the two couldn't dodge in time, and the tall black-clothed man was hit in the shoulder by an arrow.
"Damn it, these bastards actually have crossbows! Let's go quickly!!"
Ignoring the intense pain from his shoulder, the two black-clothed men quickly jumped over the wall, finally escaping the group of Ya Gang members.
On the other side, Lin Sheng had no idea that so many changes had occurred after he left. Even if he knew, he wouldn't have the slightest intention of going back to watch the excitement.
He constantly weaved through the small alleys in the city, came to a stinking ditch in the city, and threw the blood-soaked stone in his hand into it before hurrying back home.
