Romance of Gods

Chapter 38 Boil the dragon in boiling fire
It's still dark, and Longjin Road is filled with white mist.

The dog meat stall was not very popular. Counting the dozing waiter, there were only a handful of people in the whole store.

The white butter cools in the brass pot, and a pair of long chopsticks break the fat into foam.

Bright red chilies and black peppercorns rush up from the dark soup.

After stirring for a few times, the only thing lingering with the chopsticks was the fragrant leaves full of juice.

uninteresting.

What serious person would eat this so early in the morning?

Mr. Xiao Shu put down his chopsticks, burped, and leaned back in his chair.

He looked at Chen Yan who was drinking water across from him, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Shouldn't you poison this pot?

Thinking about it, he opened a fan to cover his face, raised his thumb, and stuffed an antidote pill into his mouth. Then he felt relieved and started thinking quickly.

When Chen Yan left Fulong Building yesterday, he still stayed away from cooperation with the fraternity.

But after only one night, he changed his mind and invited himself out for a chat.

Although he didn't have much direct contact with Chen Yan, he had been observing him secretly.

It is clear that although this person is scheming, he is not a reckless person. There must be a monster when something goes wrong.

"Brother Yan, I ate a pot of dog meat by myself, but you didn't eat a bite, which made me feel very uncomfortable."

"I'm afraid there's poison in this pot."

"Hey……"

Damn, what a sharp eye.

Master Xiao Shu smiled coquettishly, "Brother Yan, stop joking and get to the point. Why do you want me to be your host today?"

Chen Yan turned the water glass and looked at him levelly, "I've thought about it. The branch has a large number of people. Not only does it have big bosses, but it also cooperates with Bei Leudula. I have no reason not to cooperate with you. Even if it's not with the United Church, Dou, everyone makes money together and is happy."

You only have a few days left in this world, how much money do you make?As for cooperation, it’s too late!

Master Xiao Shu felt a chill in his heart. He had thrown Prince Kun's body into the Union Hall at night. In less than half an hour at most, the people from the Union Hall would have surrounded the place.

Just try your best and act like an oriole below.

"It's good that Brother Yan can think like this. After all, we..."

The water glass tilted without warning. Mr. Xiao Shu stopped speaking and turned slightly to avoid the oncoming hot water.

Seeing Chen Yan suddenly leaning forward to stab himself with a knife, he smiled coldly, closed the folding fan in his hand, and smashed the dagger down.

"act recklessly."

……

Refugees from squatter areas are entering the city, even earlier.

Dozens of farmers and a dozen rough-and-tumble peasant women ran rampant in the walled city with evil faces on their faces.

Seeing that they were holding big black stars in their hands, it seemed that they were coming with bad intentions, and pedestrians along the way looked away from them.

Everyone walked through the streets and alleys, and their destination was Longjin Road.

At the same time, there were more than a dozen groups of people, large or small, converging in one direction.

The bandaged Tang Duo and his junior brother Wang Luan, who was missing an ear, led a total of more than a dozen Forty-nine boys.

They just turned an intersection and suddenly bumped into Liu Lao and others.

"stop!"

Tang Duo crossed his arms and raised his sword to stop everyone's castration. Liu Lao and others were stunned for a moment, and then stopped.

Wang Luan stepped forward with his spear in hand, his face folded together, and asked in confusion, "What are you doing in the stronghold?"

The Forty-nine Boys saw this group of "violent bandits" on tenterhooks, and felt a little relieved when they saw that Tang Duo actually knew them.

The squatter community is a force secretly supported by Satan. Except for a few cronies whom he absolutely trusts, no one knows about the existence of this group of people.

Tang Duo and other four closed disciples were among them.

Liu Lao gripped the handle of the gun tightly, with several hard bumps on his head, and said in a deep voice: "Someone broke into the squatter area last night and had a fight with us."

"who?"

"Foreigners!"

"Have foreigners... caught him?"

"Let him run away." Liu Lao shook his head, "Afterwards, we found blood all over the floor in Mr. Hong's residence."

"Master he!"

Tang Duo and Wang Luan said in unison, anxious as fire.

"Mr. Hong disappeared. Not long after, someone sent this."

A letter, a blood letter!
Tang Duo and the two looked away from the letter. It only said that Satan was in Longjin Road, and there was no additional news.

That's it, but it makes people even more worried.

Everyone did not dare to delay and ran forward.

On the way, Mr. Liu asked: "What are you going to do?"

Tang Duo and Wang Luan looked at each other with solemn expressions.

In less than a few hours, three strange things happened in succession
First, the various associations in Xinghong gave up the stalemate and all withdrew from Guangming Road.

Second, Mr. Xiao Shu sent someone to deliver a message, saying that Chen Yan invited the stewards of the United Hall to go to Longjin Road.

Let the branch association act as the intermediary to discuss the specific matters of the peace negotiation between the two parties.

If there were only these two, it would be a rare benefit.

But then, someone found Prince Kun’s body!
There was an uproar within the Union Hall. Coupled with the two previous incidents, most people suspected that this was a Hongmen Banquet set up for them.

Tang Duo and others were still thinking about the secret behind it. If it was really the Hongmen Banquet, why did they let the Union Hall discover Prince Kun's body so easily?

But before he could figure out the connection, the stewards from all the mountains under the Lianhe Hall became furious, fully armed, and led their men to kill Longjin Road.

He was about to stop him and wait to report to Satan before making any plans, but in order to get revenge, his own people started fighting among themselves first.

Only then did he realize that Brother Da Beng and Prince Kun, the two people who had the best chance of inheriting the leadership position of the United Hall, were both dead.

On the surface, they are rushing to take revenge, but in their hearts, they want to use this opportunity to compete for the next leader.

And the truth...the truth never matters, especially in the face of power.

And the disappearance of Satan has cast an unclear shadow over the truth.

Everyone in the United Hall gathered at the left entrance of Lung Jin Road. They were extremely jealous when their relatives met. People from all walks of life walked hand in hand, refusing to give in to each other.

Tang Duo and the other two were greatly surprised when they saw this. In the previous fight with Xinghong's group, they only managed to draw a few hundred people from each hilltop of the United Hall.

But now, the number of people drawn from each hilltop has more than doubled. When each hall leader saw the other party pulling out his own trump card, they all understood it tacitly.

More than a thousand people in Wuyangyang turned into a torrent, blocking Longjin Road and moving forward quickly.

Inside the shops on both sides of the road, there are pairs of quiet eyes hidden

They glanced at the various guns lying on the ground, and then stared at the people in the United Hall.

Longjin Road is half of the branch's base camp. At night, the disciples of the branch received orders from Master Xiao Shu and ambush on both sides of the road in advance, ready for action at any time.

In the dog meat stall, fans and knives clashed against each other, the blades trembled slightly, and an indescribable and strange force penetrated into Chen Yan's palm, stinging.

If the knife went around the top of the fan and cut diagonally downward, he was sure that he could immediately cut off one of Xiao Shu's hands.

Dang!

But the dagger fell on the table, and Chen Yan quickly pulled his hand away.

Mr. Xiao Shu put the fan on his shoulder, swept his left hand across the table, picked up the fish intestine sword and played with it fondly.

He clicked his tongue and said: "If there is any benefit to participating in these games, it is that I can see these long-lost old objects with my own eyes."

The accent has changed, it's an authentic northern accent.

Chen Yan's face was full of vigilance, "You are..."

"Yes, I am."

"Why can't I see your information?" "I've let you know everything, so how can I still mess around?"

Looking at Chen Yan's tense and horrified expression, Master Xiao Shu felt proud, and suddenly his ears twitched.

Footsteps, guests are coming.

This Chen Yan's boxing and kick skills far surpassed his own. If he really fought with him, he might not be able to win.

Let him help him fight to the death with the Union Hall first, and when both sides are hurt, he will give them a roll.

Killing two birds with one stone, he took control of the Kowloon Walled City in the palm of his hand without spending a single soldier.

good.

"Now that we are all exposed, let's stop hiding it and help me unify Dragon City. The benefits will be yours."

Mr. Xiao Shu smiled jokingly, threw up the fish intestines and caught it again, "I will keep this thing for you first, and I will return it to you when the matter is completed."

He stood up, gave the silent Chen Yan a look of pity, and then swaggered out of the dog meat stall.

Looking at Mr. Xiao Shu's back, Chen Yan relaxed, turned his head and shouted, "Man, add to the fire."

Outside the street, the sound of footsteps was loud.

Mr. Xiao Shu stood in the middle of the broad street, following the sound, and saw the black phalanx coming with great force.

"This is called fun."

He smiled proudly and was about to return to Fulong Building.

Suddenly, a burst of cold murderous intent struck from his side.

The United Hall and the clans hidden in the dark were all horrified when they saw the visitor.

"The actor!"

Master Xiao Shu had a stern look on his face. When the tall figure enveloped his body, without thinking, he grabbed the fish intestines, twisted his body and stabbed him!

Puchi!

The strong blood is splashed all over the white gown, and the red plum blossoms are gorgeous!
"Good knife!"

Master Xiao Shu sighed in admiration, then moved his gaze upwards, the smile on his face quickly cooled, and his expression became uglier than death!
"Sa...Satan..."

His five holes were bleeding, his eyes were bulging out, and Satan was stabbing him straight in front of him.

Eyeballs torn by bloodshot eyes are scattered all over the dark ravines, and the light dust emanating from them seems to pull people into the endless abyss.

As the name suggests, devil!
Mr. Xiao Shu was stunned on the spot.

I killed Satan!
I killed Satan!
I killed Satan in front of everyone!
No, Satan is not a god actor!
No, why did Satan attack me?
No, he seems to have died a long time ago!

Boundless confusion overwhelmed him, and for a moment, the world was spinning.

"I'm fucking your mother!"

Liu Lao and others rushed out of the crowd, aimed their guns, and pulled the triggers without hesitation.

Bang bang bang!
Guns like raindrops flew in and immediately beat Mr. Shu into a bloody sieve!

Master Xiao Shu staggered, and with a bang, the dagger in his hand hit the ground.

His blurry eyes swept across the ground, and Master Xiao Shu seemed to have a vague understanding.

It's... it's him...

But before they could get angry, everyone else in the United Hall recovered from the shock.

In public, the top think tank of the branch killed their leader in front of everyone in the United Hall!
This is no longer as simple as a blood feud!

At one time, hundreds of guns were fired at the same time, and the deafening sound of gunfire swept through the entire city.

The whole process from Xiao Shuye's body being filled with blood mist to being beaten into mud by bullets took no more than three seconds.

"Behead Asufo! Avenge Satan!"

Everyone in the United Hall began to rush towards the Fulong Building. Masters like Tang Duo and Wang Luan were nothing more than small pebbles moving with the waves of people.

The people who were lying in ambush were still stunned by the huge change just now. When they saw the United Hall storming the building, they broke out in a cold sweat.

Shoot, shoot!

Stores on both sides of the street were turned into temporary trenches, submerged in dazzling firelight and smoke.
"Bang bang bang bang!"

Two rows of turbulent guillotines swept over, puff puff, puff puff, as the first wave of fire snakes extinguished, dozens of Forty-nine Boys on the outermost edge of the United Hall were immediately killed on the spot!
"Fuck! Ambush!"

"The branch association must have planned this for a long time!"

Everyone in the United Hall reacted. Under the cover of powerful firepower, the crowd panicked and looked for bunkers to hide, while firing back.

You come and go, and on the Longjin Road, corpses are like blood-stained straw, constantly falling.

The successive attacks by the wards and associations also made everyone in the United Hall more certain that all of this was a series of schemes set up by the wards and associations to annihilate them.

Downstairs, purgatory on earth.

Upstairs, a paradise.

Mr. Liang and the other three stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking down at the long street covered in flames, mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

"Do you want to inform Mr. O to come over and take care of it?"

"Who dares to intervene in this situation at the risk of their lives? Besides, they can't spare any time to manage the walled city now."

"Just wait a little longer. The United Hall and the branch associations have been entrenched in Dragon City for many years. They are deeply rooted and their influence is intertwined. It would be good to prune the branches and leaves appropriately."

"That's all we can do, Miss Zuo, what do you think?"

"The three gentlemen can handle it according to their own ideas. I don't understand anything."

"Miss Zuo, you are being humble. After all, you are the 'Lord of Dragon City'."

The three of them turned their heads together. Behind them, Zuo Qiutang was sitting on the large brown leather sofa, holding a coffee cup in his hand.

She smiled slightly, "I'm just here for a vacation."

The fire hasn't been added yet, but the soup in the copper pot has already begun to boil.

The ground shook, and everything in the dog meat stall shook violently.

The waiter and the boss were all hiding in the corner, hugging each other for warmth.

A bloody human head suddenly rolled in, causing everyone to scream loudly.

Chen Yan picked up the head and placed it on the table.

Lou Huowang opened his mouth, put down the fish intestine sword in his mouth, grinned, and when he spoke, everyone was stunned again.

"I really have you! Now, let them kill each other and make me feel bad!"

Chen Yan smiled, the situation in front of him was much more intense than he expected.

In order to make this good show less flawed, he only invited villagers from the squatter area.

With a small audience, the performance will definitely not be satisfactory, but the best thing is that it won't appear deliberate.

But United Hall came uninvited and directly pushed the performance to its peak.

"What methods did Master Xiao Shu use? Why didn't I give you any warning when I fought with him?"

"It's just a little trick." Lou Huowang grinned and said: "There is a mythical beast in the insect scroll of "The Romance of the Gods", named Meng Ji. It is recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing" that the Beishan Jing is 280 miles north... There is a beast, which looks like a leopard. The title of the white body is named Meng Ji. He is good at hiding and calls out for himself. This beast is good at hiding its tracks, which is considered his talent. It’s not a big deal, there are many eye skills that can detect his changes. "

Chen Yan nodded. He had just fought against Mr. Xiao Shu. Although he didn't see his message, he was sure that he was not as good as him.

"Where are you going next?"

"Harbor City..."

Chen Yan picked up the dagger and turned it around.

"Listen to you, you gods of incense and fire, every time you arrive in a new world, you are forced to be trapped in the shrine most of the time. Before you are completely dead, come with me to the city for a walk."

Lou Huowang said disdainfully: "What do you know? Although our incense and fire gods often live in a corner, safety is the most important thing. This time...this time is an exception...I have become so virtuous and don't want to go anywhere."

"what ever."

"However, there is one thing I still don't understand. How can you be so sure that he will take your knife?"

Chen Yan stood up and smiled, "No time."

Amidst the roar of gunfire, the broken Breguet pocket watch was soaked in a pool of blood, and the time was frozen at seven o'clock.
