The car kept driving, and because of Zi Hongyu's matter, Eagle was brooding and frowning in thought about the predicament before him. He hadn't noticed the direction of the car's travel,
By the time he realized something was wrong, Gu Leng's gaze towards him had already become extremely cold!
"Gu Leng, what's going on? Where are we?"
Eagle frowned and asked.
Gu Leng stopped the car, turned around, and gave him a wicked smile, "Brother Eagle, remember to drink a couple more basins of 'Meng Po Soup' on Yellow Springs Road. I know you're worried about the Ninth Master. I promise you, I'll send him down to keep you company soon!"
Angrily, Eagle lunged forward intending to assault Gu Leng.
However, the car was still moving. After Gu Leng let out a sinister chuckle, he quickly opened the car door and jumped out.
But as he jumped out, the car became driverless, and Eagle was still in the back seat.
"Gu Leng, you traitor!"
With a thunderous boom!
The speeding, uncontrolled car violently crashed into a wall on the road, instantly destroying both the wall and the car.
The massive force of the impact sent Eagle flying from the back seat, slamming heavily onto the ground.
Struggling to move, Eagle spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
His eyes turned white.
His body was riddled with shards of car glass, appearing utterly bedraggled!
However, what he failed to notice was that as Gu Leng jumped out of the car, the black car that had been following them all along suddenly stopped. A dozen men clothed in black tight-fitting outfits armed with Tang Blades and Military Spikes emerged,
charging at him in unison!
Blindsided, Eagle took a brick to the head.
Before he could turn around, a Military Spike swiftly pierced his body, spurting out a spray of hot blood.
"Damn it all, I'll fight you bastards to the end!"
Eagle's eyes were bloodshot as he charged left and right.
With his valor, surprisingly, he was able to suppress the dozen black-clad men for the moment.
No doubt, Eagle's target was Gu Leng, but as soon as he was surrounded, Gu Leng had already run back to the car.
He wouldn't be foolish enough to stay put and allow Eagle to take revenge on him.
Inside the car, Gu Leng was smoking a cigar, coldly observing as Eagle shifted from a stance of resistance to defense, and then was kicked to the ground with numerous feet trampling over him.
If Gu Leng hadn't ordered for him not to be killed immediately, Eagle would be a corpse by now.
Gu Leng waved his hand and snorted coldly.
Parting the crowd, Gu Leng walked over indifferently, lifted his right foot, and pressed it on Eagle's head, looking down from on high, "Now, what capital do you have to preach to me? How satisfying was the face slapping today?"
Blood continued to spill from the corners of Eagle's mouth, but his eyes remained as tenacious as an eagle's.
"Heh, you only have your stupidity to blame. In today's world, what is righteousness? If you hadn't proposed to support the Ninth Master, maybe I would have tolerated you a while longer."
"Actually... I've wanted to get rid of a fool like you for a long time!"
Gu Leng spit a mouthful of thick saliva on Eagle's face, his eyes filled with contempt.
In his view, if the Ninth Master hadn't promoted him back in the day, how could someone like Eagle climb to his position and give orders!
As for the Ninth Master, heh, a sick tiger isn't necessarily as majestic as a cat!
"Kill the eagle, and from now on, there's no such person in Dragon Eagle Hall!"
Gu Leng gave the order without hesitation.
However, as soon as this command was issued, more than a dozen men in black suddenly hesitated.
They were all subordinates of Dragon Eagle Hall, and the reason they followed Gu Leng's orders this time was partly due to long-term bribery, and partly due to the pressure from Dragon Gate in Su City, which left them powerless to act otherwise.
But after all, the eagle was still their nominal boss; for those who mixed in Jianghu, none wanted to bear the stigma of killing their boss.
"Damn it, I told you to do it, didn't you hear me!"
Gu Leng slapped a man in black across the face.
"You won't kill him, will you? I'll do it!"
Throwing away his cigar, Gu Leng snatched up a Tang Blade, his lips curling into a sinister smile as he said to the eagle struggling on the ground, yet powerless, "As a boss, you can't succeed if you aren't ruthless. It's a pity you've only come to realize this now."
After saying this, Gu Leng's lips lifted in a cold smile; his ten fingers began to move, gripping the Tang Blade tightly as he looked at the eagle, gasping for breath and waiting to die. His gaze grew determined and he suddenly swung down!
An extremely crisp sound suddenly rang out!
It wasn't the sound of a Tang Blade splitting the eagle's skull, nor the expected spatter of blood!
Just as Gu Leng swung his blade, a cigarette butt, still burning, suddenly appeared in mid-air!
The cigarette butt slammed into Gu Leng's swinging Tang Blade. It seemed like an exercise in futility, but it actually pierced a large hole through the sharp Tang Blade.
The blade, unsupported, unexpectedly snapped in half, and the massive recoil injured Gu Leng's palm.
"Who, who dares to ambush me!"
Gu Leng, holding half of the Tang Blade, looked around nervously.
After all, the eagle was his nominal boss, and he was now in the process of usurping his boss's position; it was absolutely impossible for him to say he wasn't nervous.
Clear footsteps gradually came from the darkness, getting closer and closer.
Gu Leng watched as Ning Fan, head lowered, hands in his pockets, approached, and his pupils shrank instantly!
"Nine... Ninth Master!"
A man is known by his reputation as a tree is known by its shadow!
As soon as Ning Fan appeared, Gu Leng's hands even started to tremble uncontrollably.
"I had too much to eat tonight, went out for a stroll out of boredom, and didn't expect to stumble upon a good opportunity to stretch my muscles!"
Ning Fan twisted his neck, causing a cracking sound, and said to Gu Leng with a smile.
Of course, he knew the one crushed underfoot by Gu Leng was his brother, the eagle.
Hearing Ning Fan's voice, the eagle's desire to live reignited, and he yelled, "Ninth Master, kill this traitor!"
Gu Leng kicked the eagle in the neck, squatted down, pressing the sharp edge of the half Tang Blade against the eagle's neck, and shouted to Ning Fan, "Don't come any closer or I'll kill him! Get away from me at once, Ninth Master. We have no quarrel with each other, why come seeking trouble?"
No sooner had Gu Leng finished speaking than the dozen or so men in black behind him reacted instantly, forming a united front with a fierce glare at Ning Fan, as if trying to force him back.
Ning Fan clapped his hands, his eyes gradually shifting from casual to serious.
The eagle was his brother.
Using the lives of those he cared about to force him to make a decision.
Ning Fan really hated this!
Initially, he had decided to just teach these blind traitors a lesson, but now he had changed his mind.
