Chapter 124: Misunderstanding and Saving Someone
Chapter 124: Misunderstanding and Saving Someone
The power displayed by Jiang Xincheng threw the entire West Street Pack of Wolves into a panic.
Wolf King Liu Ergou, who had been hiding deep in the crowd, ran out.
He wielded a machine gun and fired at Jiang Xincheng.
He ordered his men to kill Jiang Xincheng as quickly as possible.
But facing a hail of bullets from nearly a hundred powerful Primordial Warriors,
Jiang Xincheng moved as fast as lightning.
He pushed Five Elements Steps to its limit.
He also operated his Spiritual Sense Power to the utmost.
He clumsily dodged countless bullets.
Even so,
Jiang Xincheng ended up with several bullet wounds on his body.
Blood flowed down from his clothes.
However, Jiang Xincheng ignored these injuries.
He had deliberately avoided vital spots.
These injuries did not affect his movements.
Moreover, he had suffered too many injuries in his past life.
This minor wound was nothing to him.
At that moment,
Jiang Xincheng sensed with his Spiritual Sense that Liu Ergou pulled a black object from his waist.
And threw it hard towards him.
Hand grenade!
This word rose in Jiang Xincheng’s mind immediately.
Without thinking much,
Jiang Xincheng darted aside to dodge it.
While dodging,
Jiang Xincheng grabbed He Lin, who was not far from him.
He brought her down hard behind a rock.
“What are you doing?”
Suddenly held in Jiang Xincheng’s arms,
And then slammed hard onto the hard rock,
He Lin’s face scrunched up tightly.
She felt dizzy with pain.
She couldn’t help but shout angrily.
But just as her shout ended,
She heard a deafening explosion from not far away.
Along with flying shrapnel and broken rocks.
Centered on where the bomb landed,
Screams erupted all around.
Several Primordial Warriors were blasted to the ground and couldn’t get up.
A small part of them were members of the West Street Pack of Wolves.
This showed that to kill Jiang Xincheng,
Liu Ergou was ready to sacrifice his own men.
But it still didn’t work.
He Lin, dazed by the bomb’s aftershock, finally understood why Jiang Xincheng had pushed her down.
A trace of gratitude appeared on her fair face.
She was about to say thank you,
But Jiang Xincheng, who had been holding her, quickly set her down.
He charged forward with Wolf’s Gaze in hand.
Green light flashed.
Two more members of the West Street Pack of Wolves were killed.
Then both sides entered close combat.
Swords, knives, and clubs came out.
The two groups tangled fiercely.
With enemies attacking at such close range,
The effectiveness of Wolf’s Gaze dropped sharply.
Jiang Xincheng had to bring out his Mysterious Steel Sword.
He became like a butterfly fluttering gracefully.
Weaving through the crowd.
Where the black-red butterfly danced,
Primordial Warriors at the Tendon Training Realm and Bone Tempering Late Stage were cut down one by one.
They fell and couldn’t stand again.
On their throats, a thin red line slowly widened.
“Looking for death!”
At that moment,
Seeing Jiang Xincheng kill his followers one after another,
Liu Ergou roared.
He rushed forward with his Tang Saber.
Blade light flashed wildly.
Aiming straight for Jiang Xincheng’s head.
With strength at the peak of Bone Tempering Late Stage,
And perfectly mastered Tang family saber skills,
Liu Ergou’s combat power was far greater than that of ordinary peak Bone Tempering Late Stage Primordial Warriors.
He might have been the toughest foe Jiang Xincheng had ever faced so far.
Not only that,
Liu Ergou’s Tang Saber was a Yuan Power Weapon.
Its sharpness matched, or even surpassed, that of the Mysterious Steel Sword.
With overwhelming force,
It swept towards Jiang Xincheng,
Forcing him to retreat step by step.
The Mysterious Steel Sword in his hand was like a butterfly threading through flowers.
It harassed around the Tang Saber,
But never clashed head-on.
The Primordial Force within Jiang Xincheng was four times that of other Primordial Warriors at the same level.
It was comparable to ordinary Bone Tempering Late Stage Primordial Warriors.
But against Liu Ergou, who had reached the peak of Bone Training Realm,
Jiang Xincheng fell short in both quantity and purity of his power.
Besides, the Tang Saber was extremely sharp.
If Jiang Xincheng fought Liu Ergou directly,
He would definitely lose out.
On top of that, many thugs from the West Street Pack of Wolves were guarding Liu Ergou nearby.
This forced Jiang Xincheng not to fight Liu Ergou with his full strength.
He still had to watch out for enemies around him.
Overall,
The West Street Pack of Wolves was stronger than Zhengxin Group by a fair bit.
If Jiang Xincheng hadn’t killed several key members right at the start,
Zhengxin Group might have been doomed to lose.
Most importantly,
If Jiang Xincheng hadn’t noticed something shady with these Jinguo Provincial Research Institute members and warned them in time,
Zhengxin Group could have been completely wiped out that day.
Even Jiang Xincheng would have been badly hurt,
With his life hanging in the balance.
Right after the deal started,
Jiang Xincheng covered the area with his mid-General Realm Spiritual Sense.
It spanned dozens of meters all around.
Everything was crystal clear in his Spiritual Sense view.
Quickly, he spotted suspicious behavior among these Jinguo Provincial Research Institute escorts.
Only a small number looked like actual researchers.
The other guards seemed too fierce.
Their faces looked stiff and unnatural.
Sometimes, when they stole glances at He Lin and others, their eyes seemed nervous.
Even with flashes of menace.
These people thought they hid things well.
The dim light made it hard to see their expressions clearly.
But they didn’t know Jiang Xincheng’s Spiritual Sense had reached mid-General Realm.
Under it, everything nearby stood out in detail.
Their act made Jiang Xincheng suspicious.
He began carefully observing them.
Slowly, he noticed some had distinct makeup traces,
Making them look very different from before.
He even recognized a few familiar faces.
During his full day in Liangnian City,
Jiang Xincheng hadn’t spent it all feasting and relaxing in his hotel, as He Lin and the West Street Pack of Wolves thought.
Instead, he had been digging into the Pack’s business.
Using the Handheld Computer on his Elite Soldier token,
Jiang Xincheng easily found a lot on the West Street Pack of Wolves.
Details like member profiles, territory sizes, leader names, and their misdeeds.
Jiang Xincheng memorized it all.
Now, that knowledge came in handy.
He knew every face and detail of the Pack members.
Right then, with his mid-General Realm Spiritual Sense giving a razor-sharp view,
He spotted over twenty disguised Pack members.
Even with their faces altered,
Or totally changed through makeup,
Relying on decades of sharp insight and battle experience,
Jiang Xincheng still linked some to known Pack identities.
So, the truth was out.
These supposed Jinguo Provincial Research Institute people,
Were really West Street Pack of Wolves in disguise.
Some might be genuine researchers,
Truly part of the institute.
But they must have been forced by the Pack,
Helping in crime to trick Zhengxin Group members,
Setting up a deadly strike when the time came.
If not for Jiang Xincheng noticing the problem in time,
And acting quickly,
Zhengxin Group would likely have been crushed.
Not just Yuan Ning Shui being stolen,
But all top fighters dying here.
By then, the group would be on the edge of collapse.
