26 A Trap

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Jiang Li lowered his head and continued operating on the Dominator Panel, as if he hadn't seen Heng Liusha.

Then.

"Heng Liusha, what do you want?" As the boss of the Chamber of Commerce of Spirit Herbs, Dugu Luo had to confront Heng Liusha.

"Haha…" Heng Liusha laughed. "What do I want? Of course I must eliminate these disrespectful people. I don't want anyone to question the power of the Quicksand Gang."

"Jiang Li, come forward, or do you want me to do it?" Heng Liusha stared at Jiang Li.

"…"

Dugu Luo frowned and remained silent.

After all, Jiang Li's trade with the Chamber of Commerce of Spirit Herbs had finished, so he wasn't their customer anymore. Besides, both of them only met today, so they weren't really close. However, Dugu Luo looked at Du Kelin and had already decided to kill him.

"…"

Du Kelin trembled.

He was probably the reason why Heng Liusha showed up tonight. In fact, he was indeed.

"Conversion successful. Received 100 energy points."

Jiang Li received a notice.

The herbs in one of the wooden boxes had already converted to energy points. The box was closed, so nobody saw the herbs disappear.

"Heng Liusha, I'm curious. How did you know I was here?" Jiang Li walked to another box and put his hand on it to do the conversion again.

He didn't count how many people of the Quicksand Gang were here, but there should be at least a few hundred. Besides, the three Hall Masters and many elders were standing behind Heng Liusha. They were all Martial Artists of peak-stage level one.

Jiang Li only brought four meches with him tonight. Wang Gang was the only one who was at the perfected stage of level one, while the other three were at the early stage. The difference in strength between both parties was huge.

"How did I know?" Heng Liusha chuckled and said with a mocking tone, "Kid, the entire City East belongs to the Quicksand Gang. Nothing can be hidden from me."

"Also, I know you sent someone to those second-rate gangs tonight. That's ridiculous. Even if you rope them all in, you're still not strong enough. However, to avoid any more trouble, I've already sent someone to go and kill you men. I guess it's almost over."

"I don't think so." Jiang Li glanced at the Dominator Panel. The number of meches remained the same, meaning that Wang Long and Wang Yan were fine.

Wang Long and Wang Yan were both at the peak stage of level one, and they brought some other meches with them. So, Heng Liusha's men were certainly no match for them.

"Jiang Li, don't waste my time. I'm telling you that you're going to die today."

Du Kelin had given it all out. He knew Dugu Luo would never forgive him after what happened today, so he wanted to go over to Heng Liusha to save himself.

"Chief Heng has already known that you spent a large amount of money on herbs. Although he had no idea what the herbs were for, he knew that you'd buy again. He asked me to lure you out of the Sirius Gang, so he can kill you here. I was only trying to buy more time, so that Chief Heng can come in time. Chief Heng is indeed wise. He only used a small plan to back you into a corner. The trouble is solved at the least cost."

"Hahaha, well said." Heng Liusha burst into laughter. He was in a great mood.

Indeed, if Jiang Li really roped all the second-rate gangs in, the Sirius Gang would have over a thousand members and would become a large gang. By then, even if Heng Liusha gathered all the members of the Quicksand Gang to attack the Sirius Gang, they would suffer heavy casualties, which wasn't a good thing for the Quicksand Gang.

So Heng Liusha set up a trap to get Jiang Li out of the Sirius Gang. Then, he came here in person with his men to kill Jiang Li. Once Jiang Li died, the Sirius Gang would naturally fall apart.

"What a trap! I guess Heng Liusha spread the news on purpose and made everyone think he was going to take down the Sirius Gang tomorrow. Jiang Li is just too young."

"Heng Liusha has ruled City East for a long time, so nothing here can be hidden from him. He set this up and Jiang Li fell into the trap right away."

"I thought we could watch the gangs fight tomorrow. I've never expected it to end tonight."

"Jiang Li's time is up."

Around the store people whispered and stood far away, so they wouldn't be affected.

"What a shame." Dugu Luo shook his head and also thought that Jiang Li would definitely die. It was impossible for Jiang Li to turn the tides under such a situation.

"A trap? Chief Heng, I think your trap isn't big and strong enough. It may be able to catch a wild boar, but certainly not a tiger," Jiang Li took a deep breath and said calmly. He lifted his right hand from the last wooden box. The one thousand herbs had all been converted and he got 1000 energy points.

"A tiger? You?" Heng Liusha snickered, "Jiang Li, show me what you've got. Kill him. I'll compensate for all the loss of the Chamber of Commerce of Spirit Herbs."

"Attack."

"Block all the entrances. Don't let Jiang Li run away."

"Kill them!"

After that the five elders of the Quicksand Gang attacked at the same time, while the three Hall Masters sat aside. Heng Liusha wasn't planning to do anything at the moment. He just stared at Jiang Li coldly.

"Kill them!" Jiang Li yelled.

"Combat Art!" Wang Gang shouted and sped forward. He raised his fist and gave a punch. There was a sound of explosion in the air, forming an air wave.

Poof! Crack! Crack!

"Argh!" Someone let out a cry.

The right arm of the elder in the front was shattered by Wang Gang's punch, as if a bomb blew it up. Blood splashed through the air and the fragments of the bones flew everywhere. He fell on the floor, crushing a few shelves.

"Elder He!"

"This…"

The other four elders were terrified.

"How is that possible?"

Around the store everyone was astonished and frightened.

"Elder He's arm was smashed." The people from the Quicksand Gang were also dumbfounded.

"Perfected-stage level one. He must be at the perfected stage of level one," Zhao Peipei exclaimed. "He's definitely at the perfected stage. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to injure a peak-stage Martial Artist like that."

"This… Jiang Li found a Martial Artist of perfected-stage level one as his subordinate." Dugu Luo took a deep breath and sized up Jiang Li with his glittering eyes. He had no idea why Jiang Li was so strong.

"Great, great, great." Heng Liusha looked completely cold. The energy in him soared and his internal force made him extremely fierce.

The perfected stage of level one! Heng Liusha was also a Martial Artist of perfected-stage level one.

"That's why you're so confident. You have a master at the perfected stage. No wonder you dared to provoke the Quicksand Gang and could take down Eagle Claw Hall." Heng Liusha took out the weapon on his waist. It was a pair of weapons that looked like the claws of a tiger. There was a glint of coldness on it and it was obviously used for killing.

"This is interesting. Now, let me kill you man and show you that some Martial Artists of perfected-stage level one are better than others."

After that, Heng Liusha rushed at Wang Gang like a tiger and gave a punch. His internal force surged out and there was an explosion in the air, forming waves of energy.

Boom! Wang Gang crossed his arms, blocking Heng Liusha's attack. He took a few steps backwards and created some pits on the marble floor.

"Brilliant!" Heng Liusha shouted and sped ahead again.

"Haha, this isn't my only trump card." Jiang Li smirked and immediately opened the "Mech Types" window.

"Upgrade Combat Mech GD020, Cold Weapon Mech LBQ015 and Firearm Mech QX018."

Jiang Li started upgrading the three meches next to him. They were promoted from the early stage to the perfected stage of level one. Each of them needed 140 energy points, so a total of 420 points were used. Half of the 1000 points that Jiang Li had just gotten had already been consumed.
