One Strike Beheading

At the main hall of the Huge Whale Gang headquarters, a worried gang member rushed in, shouting, "Leader, something bad has happened."

Li Tianhao's expression changed slightly. He glared at the gang member and scolded, "Where's your manners? Can't you see we have distinguished guests here? What's so urgent?"

"What could go wrong?"

"Come here! Tell me what happened."

"Yes!" The gang member quickly walked over and whispered to Li Tianhao.

After a moment, Li Tianhao's calm eyes suddenly fluctuated, and he stood up abruptly. "You may leave! I got it." Li Tianhao waved his hand, dismissing the gang member.

After the gang member left, Yagyu Yuki calmly spoke, "Master Li, it seems you have some urgent matters to attend to. Yuki will take her leave."

"Miss Yuki, apologies for the inadequate hospitality. If you don't mind, would you stay in our guest rooms at the headquarters?" Li Tianhao said.

Yagyu Yuki gently shook her head, saying, "No need. Thanks for your kind offer, but I'm used to staying in my own cabin. I won't disturb you."

"Alright, Miss Yuki, please feel free." Li Tianhao did not insist further.

Yagyu Yuki nodded and turned to leave. Li Tianhao strode directly into the courtyard, leading the worshipers and gang members to a secluded courtyard.

Outside the courtyard, dozens of Huge Whale Gang members had already surrounded the area, prohibiting anyone from entering.

"Leader!"

"Leader!"

...

Li Tianhao took a deep breath and commanded, "Open the door."

"Yes!" Two gang members opened the door.

Li Tianhao, accompanied by two worshipers, walked in. In the small courtyard, a corpse had been split into two, and the blood had congealed, presenting a gruesome scene.

Sitting on the stone steps in the courtyard was a woman. She was trembling all over, her eyes filled with fear and terror, and was too frightened to make a sound.

One of the worshipers beside Li Tianhao approached and began inspecting the body on the ground.

"Leader, this person is indeed Wei Yiyun," the worshiper with an unpleasant expression reported.

Li Tianhao nodded slightly. He already had an idea about this result. Seeing the worshiper's troubled expression, Li Tianhao comforted, "Deng, I know you had a good relationship with Wei. I’m sorry for this."

"But this matter won't end like this."

"Even if we have to turn the whole Wuxi Town upside down, I will find the murderer and avenge Wei."

As he spoke, a hint of killing intent flashed in Li Tianhao's eyes, and a vast and boundless momentum surged, like waves after waves, incredibly profound and powerful.

Obviously, this Master Li was also a formidable martial artist.

This person was Deng Sishan, Wei Yiyun's close friend and one of the masterminds who killed the former leader of the Huge Whale Gang.

At that moment, another worshiper spoke up.

"Leader, there's something unusual about the knife wounds on Wei Yiyun."

"Hmm?" Li Tianhao's face changed slightly. He retracted his aura and inquired, "Elder Qin, did you notice anything?"

The speaking worshiper was an old man with a slightly hunched figure. His face was wrinkled, his hair silver-white, and his deep and tranquil eyes seemed to contain endless vastness.

"Leader, please take a look!"

"On Wei Yiyun's limbs and body, there are over a hundred knife wounds, as if he was tortured to death, extremely cruel, especially the final blow that split him in two. The blade was extremely sharp, and the killing intent was heavy."

"What's most strange, Leader, is Wei Yiyun's body."

At this point, Elder Qin reached out and pinched Wei Yiyun's flesh, whispering, "Leader, look at this. Wei Yiyun was an expert in external martial arts. Ordinary blades couldn't harm him at all."

"However, at this moment, his skin and flesh are so wrinkled and soft, as if someone drained him alive."

"I believe that before Wei Yiyun died, he must have suffered from the poison of demonic techniques!"

Li Tianhao also furrowed his brow and murmured, "Demonic techniques? Could it be that a successor of the Demon Sect has emerged?"

"Leader, this final blow reminded me of a technique," Elder Qin spoke again.

"Please speak directly, Elder Qin," Li Tianhao quickly looked at Elder Qin, urging him to continue.

"The pinnacle skill of Japan's Yagyu Shinga Gang- One Strike Beheading!" Elder Qin's expression was extremely serious as he looked at the knife marks on the corpse, saying in a deep voice.

"Hmm?" Li Tianhao's face changed drastically, and he asked, "Elder Qin, could you be mistaken? Miss Yuki from the Yagyu Shinga Gang was just in our Huge Whale Gang. How could someone from their gang attack Wei Yiyun?"

"Leader, anything is possible," Elder Qin carefully examined the wounds and said softly, "Precisely because Yagyu Yuki is in our gang, the suspicion falls heavily on the Yagyu Shinga Gang."

"This kind of technique is extremely rare in the world, you know."

"Even within the Yagyu Shinga Gang, those who master this technique must be direct descendants. Perhaps even Yagyu Yuki herself might not know it."

"But Wei Yiyun died under this technique, which unavoidably raises suspicions!"

Hearing this, Li Tianhao fell into silence. After a while, he asked, "Is there a possibility that someone wants to disrupt our cooperation with the Yagyu family and deliberately framed them?"

"There might be such a possibility. Therefore, this matter cannot be judged so simply; it needs further investigation," Elder Qin nodded and said.

After a moment of hesitation, Li Tianhao thought carefully and instructed, "Deng, please go and ask Miss Yuki to come here. I want to ask her in person."

"I understood!" Deng Sishan bowed and left.

After Deng Sishan left, Li Tianhao walked up to the woman and asked, "What were you doing when this happened?"

"I... I was asleep. I don't know anything. I don't know anything..." The woman shook her head desperately, her eyes filled with fear and confusion.

"Is that so?" Li Tianhao wasn't surprised by this result. Since Liu Mann was still alive, it meant she had no significant value.

"Someone, take her away!" Li Tianhao waved his hand, and two gang members came in, escorting Liu Mann away.

After a moment of silence, Li Tianhao suddenly asked, "Elder Qin, if it is indeed the Yagyu Shinga Gang, what do you think I should do?"

"Leader, what do you want to do?" Elder Qin didn't answer directly but instead asked.

A hint of coldness flashed in Li Tianhao's eyes, and he said calmly, "Although forming a connection with the Yagyu Shinga Gang was my father's idea, if they are really responsible, our Huge Whale Gang is not to be trifled with."

"Those who act against us, Huge Whale Gang, will have to pay the price..."
