Wang Yun successfully entered the self-built house. He carefully listened to the footsteps coming from upstairs. Judging by the footsteps, there were at least twelve people upstairs, all armed. They were speaking very quietly, but even so, Wang Yun could still hear them clearly.
“Since Wang Yun has shown up, it was his luck that we didn’t kill him last time. This time, he must die.”
“That’s right, boss. He killed so many of our brothers. We can’t let him leave Xiyun City alive.”
“But now the police are after us too. Wang Yun draws attention wherever he goes. If we go after him, won’t we be bringing trouble onto ourselves?”
After this person finished speaking, he lit a cigarette. Just by hearing the sound of him smoking, Wang Yun could tell they were feeling troubled.
“What are you afraid of? It’s meat that’s delivered to your door, not eating it would be foolish!”
After this person finished speaking, someone else pounded the table.
“Tomorrow night, at this time, Old Six and Old Seven, you go check the surrounding villages. Old Five and Old Four, you keep an eye around here. Since Wang Yun appeared in Yunlong Community today, he must be around here. When you find him, don’t rush to take action. This guy has some skills. Inform me immediately. Also, dig up the stuff we’ve got hidden in the back hills, but keep it quiet.”
After this person finished speaking, the others responded immediately.
“Don’t worry, leave it to us!”
After they finished speaking, footsteps could be heard again. In the courtyard, there were a few broken cabinets. Wang Yun initially thought about hiding in one, but then he had a better idea—facing them head-on.
The system had already issued a task, and since these people were gathered here, he decided to eliminate all threats directly.
“Boss, we’re leaving now. We’ll be back tomorrow.”
Voices came from the stairwell. Shortly after, a few figures moved through the darkness. Wang Yun quietly reached for the dagger at his waist.
When the person at the front was five meters away from Wang Yun, suddenly, there was a swishing sound. It was as if a streak of light shot towards the person at the front.
The blade penetrated the flesh.
The person at the front fell down immediately. In the next second, Wang Yun’s ghostly figure stepped out from the corner. Holding blades in both hands, he stood with his back to the moonlight. At that moment, he seemed like a demon from hell.
As soon as these words rang out, the five men in front of him panicked.
“It’s, it’s Wang Yun! Boss, Wang Yun is here to kill us!”
“My gun, where’s my gun!”
The five people downstairs reacted quickly, immediately turning around and rushing upstairs. Instantly, various chaotic sounds echoed.
“Shoot him! Dare to come to my lair, you’re really not afraid of death!”
A furious roar came from upstairs. It was their boss. Wang Yun remained unflustered. Holding a dagger, he squatted in the stairwell. He wasn’t sure what was happening upstairs, but he decided to stay put and be ready for anything.
The sudden burst of gunfire broke the silence, startling the dogs into a chorus of barking. The previously dark houses around them lit up, followed by a chorus of curses.
“Who’s setting off fireworks in the middle of the night? Can’t anyone sleep?”
“Are you crazy? What’s all the noise about? Sleep!”
“What the hell is going on? Doesn’t anyone sleep anymore!”
The whole area was instantly awakened. Hearing the noise outside, Wang Yun grew anxious. He needed to finish this quickly, or the situation would spiral out of control.
With that in mind, Wang Yun took out a bottle of mineral water he had on him. Skillfully opening it, he poured the liquid all over the floor, covering the entire hallway. Then he covered his nose and threw in a lighter. This time, the liquid was genuinely toxic, not a simulation. He had memorized Old Song’s formula. He originally planned to carry it for self-defense since he was dealing with truly ruthless people. But he didn’t expect to use it today.
A sudden blaze erupted, engulfing the entire house.
“Boss, he’s setting a fire downstairs!”
“Damn it, playing dirty! Jump out the window, quick!”
Shouts echoed down, but Wang Yun wasn’t going to let them escape. He immediately ran to the eastern side of the house, the only side with windows. The western side was all walls.
Crouching in the corner, he heard a crash as a window was opened. A figure jumped down from above.
Wang Yun shouted, pulling out his slingshot. This time, instead of a stone, he loaded it with deadly glass shards. He had prepared the glass shards the night before, gluing the pieces together into a miniature flail, a cylindrical shape with sharp, jagged edges all around.
A piece of glass shot straight into the knee of the first person who jumped down.
Amidst screams of pain, the man fell from the second floor to the first, landing hard on his knees. The agony was so intense that he fainted immediately.
“Don’t jump! Wang Yun’s got an ambush downstairs. Get some water, quickly!”
The Boss, seeing his subordinate crash to the ground, pulled back the next person about to jump.
“Cough, cough! Boss, this smoke is too much!”
The guy behind, coughing and choking, stuck his head out the window. When he pulled back in, his head was bleeding from a glass shard stuck in it.
“Damn it, let’s go all out. He doesn’t have a gun, just shoot him!”
The boss was furious. He hadn’t done anything yet and had already lost three men. They couldn’t retreat. The windows and the downstairs were completely blocked. The toxic fumes were getting to them, causing some to turn red and collapse, convulsing on the ground.
Wang Yun was going all out this time. He had no intention of recruiting these people. Previously, he had no subordinates, but now he had Brother Hu and the others, so he didn’t lack manpower. However, if he could take any of them alive, he would try to, as the show would provide him with replacements.
The drug lord was furious. Without even peeking, he grabbed his gun and fired wildly at Wang Yun’s position, turning the wall into Swiss cheese.
Suddenly, there were several new holes in the wall.
“I’ll cover, you jump! This stuff is poisonous!”
The Boss, true to his title, led by example in the critical moment. He grabbed another pistol, and with dual guns blazing, provided cover fire.
“He’s alone, you guys run!”
The Boss’s words spurred his men into action. Their faces red from holding their breath, they jumped out without hesitation.
Pinned down by the barrage of bullets, Wang Yun had no chance to move.
Three, four, by the time the sixth person jumped, Wang Yun grabbed another bottle of mineral water. Hugging the wall, he shouted and flung the remaining liquid at the attackers.
