Chapter 26: Beg for Mercy? Too Late! (Please Follow the Series)

Deathly silence!

The entire room was deathly silent!

The only sound was that of blood flowing like water, dripping onto the ground.

"Attack!!!"

After a few moments of silence, a loud shout suddenly erupted, filling the entire room.

In an instant, several figures burst out within the room, lunging straight at Qin Zheng.

A suffocating intent to kill instantly locked onto Qin Zheng, covering him completely.

The Canal Gang's second-in-command, having prepared a feast akin to the Hongmen Banquet, naturally made ample preparations.

At this moment, all those who could sit here had surpassed the Second Major Pass of the Flesh Refining Realm!

They were not like Lu Sheng, mere practitioners of the Skin Refinement Realm!

With nearly ten experts of the Flesh Refining Realm present to dominate the scene, even a Sinew Refining Realm warrior who had surpassed the Third Major Pass would dare to battle them!

Not to mention, in their prediction, an insignificant Executioner could at best be in the Flesh Refining Realm.

For other powers, there might be a need to treat the matter with great caution and seek to foster good relations carefully.

But for the Canal Gang, there was no need at all.

Indeed, the Canal Gang was strong.

But Qin Zheng was even stronger!

A martial artist of the Flesh Refining Realm could exert at most Five Hundred Catties with a single punch.

Although Qin Zheng's inner body was damaged at the moment, he could still unleash a force of at least one thousand jin!

Therefore, the moment these high-ranking and well-known experts from the Canal Gang gathered here...

Qin Zheng's expression remained calm, without the slightest ripple.

He then extended his palms, Qinggong activated, and like strolling leisurely in a courtyard, he weaved through the midst of the Canal Gang experts.

And every time his palms fell, it signified the burst of a expert's head.

In just a few breaths' time, the gang's experts who had attacked were already reduced to headless corpses, collapsing to the ground.

Crimson blood plasma spread throughout the entire room, the thick, foul stench of blood filling the air.

However, Qin Zheng's coarse linen clothing remained spotless, unstained by even a drop of blood.

When no one else rushed towards him anymore, Qin Zheng turned around, his gaze placidly settling on the second-in-command at the forefront.

This man had not moved from his spot from beginning to end.

As for the spoiled young master behind him, by now he was already pale with terror, as though his soul had been frightened away by the horrific, bloody scene.

When Qin Zheng's gaze turned towards him, the second-in-command's complexion trembled, a mix of anger and fear.

His face flushed red, yet he forcibly suppressed his emotions, smiling as he spoke, "Let's stop here, let's forgive and forget, what do you say?"

Qin shook his head, then with a step forward, Qinggong activated, instantly appeared before him.

He reached out his hand and spoke simultaneously, "Too late!"

Thinking they can summon me at their whim,

Thinking they can kill me as they please,

And expecting me to stop when they wish it,

I am not your father, to tolerate such bullying!

Since you chose to attack, we fight to the death!

In a world like this, possessing martial strength is just the first step to securing a foothold.

Equally, being ruthless is the second step!

At this moment, Qin paid no heed to the other party's status, nor the consequences that might ensue from killing him.

But since they harbored the intent to take his life, then they must die!

Regarding the idea of letting bygones be bygones and owing nothing to each other, Qin has never believed in such things.

Only by killing those who bear the intent to kill can there be true forgiveness!

Qin's hand came down, enveloped in a strong gust, and with a mighty slap, it fell.

Seeing Qin's ruthless approach, the second-in-command's expression changed in an instant, his smile vanishing to be replaced with malevolence.

He retreated abruptly, while his hand reached for his son standing behind him.

With a forceful pull, he dragged his son up and placed him in front of himself.

Sons can be reborn.

If he died, it would truly be the end.

The young scion seemed not to have anticipated this scene.

His face still wore an expression of terror when Qin Zheng's palm shattered his chest, killing him instantly!

Seizing this opportunity, the second-in-command evaded Qin Zheng's palm strike.

Hiss!!!

At that moment, he made a peculiar sound from his mouth.

Qin Zheng's expression darkened, realizing that this was the enemy's means of calling for reinforcements.

With a shrug of his shoulders, the Ghost Head Greatsword fell into his hand, ripping off the coarse cloth covering it, the fierce blade reflecting a bone-chilling gleam, looking soul-shaking.

Immediately after, Qin Zheng moved, his whole figure blurring like a phantom, appearing before the second-in-command in the blink of an eye.

The Ghost Head Greatsword then slashed straight toward his neck.

"Qin, don't you push people too far!!"

The second-in-command bellowed.

Instantly, he ducked lower, rolling to dodge Qin Zheng's blade.

He was merely a Martial Artist of the Flesh Refining Realm, and he'd seen Qin Zheng effortlessly kill several other helmsmen of the same realm.

The second-in-command had no intention of engaging Qin Zheng in combat; all he wanted was to dodge quickly, buying time for the high-level fighters of the gang to arrive.

But would Qin Zheng let him have his way?

If you've dodged the first strike, do you think you can keep dodging the second and third?

Qin Zheng gripped the Ghost Head Greatsword with both hands, his movements quick and fierce.

The hefty sword, swung with a vicious angle, was driven by tremendous force.

The second-in-command had no chance to block it.

Under this strike, he would be cleaved in two, his fate sealed!

Boom!!

Just then, a thunderous noise erupted.

A figure burst through the floor, descending from above.

And the place he landed was precisely where Qin Zheng stood!

In an instant, without a second thought, Qin Zheng twisted his blade and swung it upward at the figure above him.

Clang!!!

Thud!!

Weapons collided, parting upon contact.

The figure descending from above was sent flying after the clash, smashing through the wall.

By this moment, the second-in-command had already reached the doorway.

There, a burly, dark-faced man stood holding a greatsword, his expression solemn as he stared at Qin Zheng.

"Boss, it's this damned cur, he's trying to wipe us out, the Canal Gang!"

The second-in-command scrambled and rolled, quickly taking cover behind the dark-faced man, his voice shrill as he screamed.

Though he had encountered many a storm over the years from his high position,

it had been a long time since he faced such an immediate threat of death.

Just a moment ago, he almost believed his head would be severed by Qin Zheng's Ghost Head Greatsword.

Luckily, the gang members inside had gathered in time, and even the boss of the Sinew Refining Realm had come in person.

Now he should be safe.

So he thought to himself.

"Who are you to cause trouble at my Canal Gang?!"

The dark-faced man demanded coldly as he looked at Qin Zheng.

Yet Qin Zheng remained calm, his gaze fixed on the dark-faced man before glancing past him toward the second-in-command.

"Qin's business today has nothing to do with the Canal Gang, but with the swine-dog behind you," Qin Zheng spoke slowly.

Just from his aura, he could tell that the man before him was a Martial Artist who had broken through the Second Major Pass of the Sinew Refining Realm.

If it weren't necessary, he wouldn't want to kill him right now.

But if it's unavoidable,

then he had no choice but to kill them all!
