#196 - Taipingdao
The person standing at the door was none other than Liang Jin.
His gaze swept across the dark room, quickly landing on Ji Zhong.
Liang Jin strode in and walked towards Ji Zhong.
A group of burly men stood up straight, gripping their weapons.
One of them even pointed a wooden stick at Liang Jin and cursed angrily:
"Where did this bastard come from, daring to—"
He didn't finish his sentence.
Liang Jin slapped him directly.
"Slap!!!"
Following this, everyone shifted their gaze to the short tyrant, Gu Tao.
At this moment, Gu Tao was the only martial artist present.
The short tyrant, Gu Tao, clasped his fist and asked:
"Which path does this brother walk on?"
"Is there some misunderstanding between us?"
Since he was a martial artist, they couldn't act rashly; they first needed to understand his background.
Liang Jin went straight to the Ji family of three and began untying their ropes.
As he lowered the three hanging people, he replied:
"How much money do they owe you?"
"I'll pay it for them."
Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in the short tyrant's eyes.
Subsequently, he planned to further test Liang Jin's bottom line.
So, the short tyrant said:
"The money is a small matter, but today you've damaged the reputation of my Qianchou Gambling House."
"Do you know the background of my Qianchou Gambling House…?"
His words suddenly stopped.
Because Liang Jin, who was untying the ropes, suddenly stopped his movements and looked coldly at the short tyrant.
This look made the short tyrant, Gu Tao, shudder.
He could feel the chilling killing intent emanating from Liang Jin!
Such a strong killing intent meant that the person before him had killed at least hundreds of people!
One must know that the capital was not a place where one could casually have so many opportunities to kill people.
For those who mingled in the underworld, it was normal to have a few or a dozen lives on their hands.
Even the short tyrant, Gu Tao, had only killed a little over twenty people until now.
But under Liang Jin's gaze, he could actually feel a palpitation.
The short tyrant, Gu Tao, had only seen two people who possessed such a strong killing intent.
Those two people were both true overlords in the capital's underworld!
"Gulp!"
The short tyrant, Gu Tao, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, ultimately choosing silence.
He probably couldn't handle this person.
It was better to wait for the higher-ups to arrange someone to deal with him; there was no need for him to provoke this killing star.
Only then did Liang Jin continue his actions.
The Ji family of three were all lowered to the ground.
Ji Zhong and his wife hurriedly put on their clothes.
But Ji Fei picked up a wooden stick from the ground and rushed towards the short tyrant, Gu Tao, shouting hoarsely.
"I'll beat you to death!!!"
Ji Fei shouted crazily, obviously wanting to attack the short tyrant.
The short tyrant, Gu Tao, narrowed his eyes.
He couldn't handle that martial artist, but he could handle this little brat?
With a flip of his wrist, a dagger was already in his hand.
At this moment.
A cold snort was heard:
"Let him hit!"
Accompanying this cold snort was also a sharp aura.
Stimulated by this aura, the short tyrant, Gu Tao, instantly felt a huge tremor in his chest, and his legs even went weak.
He looked at Liang Jin in horror:
"You… you're at least a Rank 7 or higher!"
The short tyrant, Gu Tao, was only a Rank 8 martial artist; he only felt that Liang Jin's aura was like a rainbow, completely suppressing him.
Just as the short tyrant, Gu Tao, was astonished, the wooden stick in Ji Fei's hand had already smashed over fiercely.
"Bang!!!"
With a muffled sound, the wooden stick in Ji Fei's hand broke in response.
This stick caused the short tyrant, Gu Tao, to feel a burst of pain.
But he saw Ji Fei actually pick up the broken stick and stab it towards the short tyrant, Gu Tao's mouth.
It was actually using the other's way to repay the other's body.
At this moment.
The ferocity in the short tyrant, Gu Tao's heart was also aroused.
"Little brat, die for me!"
The dagger in his hand stabbed fiercely towards Ji Fei.
He decided to kill Ji Fei first!
Seeing this, Liang Jin snorted coldly:
"Disobedient?"
He grabbed the rope in his hand and shook it forcefully.
The rope was like a poisonous snake, fiercely whipping onto the short tyrant, Gu Tao's hand.
"Slap!!!"
A crisp sound.
The short tyrant, Gu Tao's hand was whipped open, flesh flying everywhere, even revealing the white bone inside.
And the dagger in his hand also became unsteady and flew out.
"Ah!"
Under the pain, the short tyrant, Gu Tao, opened his mouth and screamed.
And Ji Fei's wooden stick just happened to stab over fiercely.
This caused the short tyrant, Gu Tao's scream to stop abruptly, and blood gushed out along the wooden stick in his mouth.
The next second.
Ji Fei bent down and picked up the dagger on the ground, stabbing fiercely towards the short tyrant's face.
His gaze of hatred and anger was like a raging fire, jumping non-stop.
At this moment, a trace of fear finally appeared in the short tyrant, Gu Tao's eyes.
This Ji Fei was a madman!
Especially a madman with a backer, the most terrifying!
The short tyrant, Gu Tao, was skilled at playing with knives, and when he stabbed towards Ji Fei's face earlier, he was confident that he wouldn't cause Ji Fei to become disabled or die.
But this Ji Fei's hand was not as steady as his own.
Immediately, the short tyrant, Gu Tao, turned around and wanted to escape.
The next second.
"Swish!!!"
The rope in Liang Jin's hand flew again, tightly wrapping around the short tyrant, Gu Tao's neck like a snake.
This time, the short tyrant, Gu Tao, couldn't escape.
And Ji Fei's dagger had already stabbed over fiercely.
"Ah!!!"
The short tyrant, Gu Tao, screamed in pain.
That dagger pierced into his eye socket, piercing into his eyeball.
Fresh blood kept gushing out from his eye.
He stretched out his trembling hand, wanting to pull out the dagger from his eye socket, but he never had the courage.
On the contrary, Ji Fei pulled out the dagger from the short tyrant, Gu Tao's eye, and then wanted to stab it towards the short tyrant, Gu Tao's neck.
This kid actually still wanted to kill someone!
"Enough!"
Liang Jin shouted in a deep voice.
Liang Jin was not afraid of killing people.
But he was worried that the Ji family wouldn't be able to settle things.
This kid from the Ji family was really acting recklessly.
Hearing Liang Jin's voice, Ji Fei finally stopped his hand.
He threw away the dagger, turned around and returned, silently putting on his clothes.
"Is that about it?"
Liang Jin asked.
Ji Fei wiped the blood on his face, then nodded.
Liang Jin asked again:
"Then where's your family's secret manual?"
These words stunned the Ji family.
This stranger came to their rescue; could it be for the Ji family's secret manual?
But hadn't that short tyrant, Gu Tao, said that this secret manual wasn't worth much?
Ji Fei stretched out his hand, pointing to the man who had taken the secret manual.
The man was startled, hurriedly taking out the secret manual from his chest and offering it with both hands.
Liang Jin took the secret manual and looked at it; it was indeed the other half of the "Crimson Fire Heaven Burning Sword Art".
This time, this Earth-rank secret manual was finally complete!
Immediately, Liang Jin took out a handful of silver from his chest and threw it at the short tyrant, Gu Tao's feet:
"The money owed by the Ji family, I've paid it for them."
The Black Tiger Gang's men looked at this little bit of silver and couldn't help but say:
"This money isn't enough!"
Liang Jin said faintly:
"You guys injured someone; don't you need to deduct medical expenses?"
This left the Black Tiger Gang's men speechless for a moment.
Who exactly was the unreasonable rogue here?
Liang Jin turned around and was about to leave.
At this moment.
The short tyrant, Gu Tao, also recovered, and he said angrily:
"Dare to leave your name?!"
"We will definitely find out your background!"
"Today, we will remember your generosity, and the Black Tiger Gang will definitely repay you in the future!"
The Black Tiger Gang was like rats in the capital, omnipresent and all-pervasive.
Wanting to find out information about this kid was as easy as flipping their hands.
Liang Jin stopped his footsteps:
"I might as well just tell you."
"My name is Liang Jin; I live in the Southern Forbidden Army Camp. If you want revenge, feel free to come find me."
These words made the short tyrant, Gu Tao, and a group of burly men slightly stunned.
This kid was actually from the Forbidden Army?
Among the Forbidden Army, there were many sons of officials and aristocratic families, not people that they, these local ruffians, could provoke at will.
Especially the Forbidden Army Camp; they couldn't possibly directly break into it to seek revenge.
For a moment, the short tyrant, Gu Tao, and a group of burly men from the Black Tiger Gang couldn't help but be speechless.
They opened their mouths, but couldn't even utter a single harsh word.
Liang Jin looked at them admitting defeat, shook his head slightly, and then turned around and left.
How could Ji Zhong and his wife dare to stay?
They hurriedly pulled their son, Ji Fei, and also followed Liang Jin.
The short tyrant, Gu Tao, watched them leave, gnashing his teeth and saying:
"Damn it! Do they think we don't have acquaintances in the Forbidden Army?"
"My boss is still drinking with an official from the Forbidden Army today!"
"Send someone to ask what position this kid holds in the Forbidden Army, and what his background is?"
Under the short tyrant, Gu Tao's roar, it affected the wound in his eye, and the pain caused him to scream again.
"Go get me a doctor!"
"Call the best doctor!"
Upon hearing this, the subordinates immediately left in a hurry.
…
Outside the gambling house.
Liang Jin had already walked onto the street.
He had only taken a few steps when his gaze was attracted by the situation on the roadside.
"Hmm?"
Liang Jin's face revealed surprise.
He saw an old man in a yellow robe, wearing a yellow turban on his head, straw sandals on his feet, carrying a bamboo basket on his back, with a small yellow flag stuck on the basket.
Although the old man was old, he was full of energy, preaching to several commoners by the roadside.
This attire…
Wasn't it the appearance of the Yellow Turban followers of the Taiping Dao?
Out of curiosity, Liang Jin stepped forward and listened for a while.
What this yellow-robed old man was talking about was actually the "Taiping Jing".
In particular, this yellow-robed old man was also praising the great achievements of the Great Virtuous Teacher using talisman water to save the world.
And several of the commoners among them had obviously become pious believers, listening to the yellow-robed old man preach with sincere gazes.
This time, Liang Jin couldn't help but feel surprised.
The Taiping Dao had actually developed into the capital?
