Fishing the Myriad Heavens

Chapter 159: Not Playing The Cards In A Logical Manner

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

The thing that truly pissed Miao Tianhua off was the fact that there was someone who actually dared to challenge him. 'Is this an attempt to snatch the position of my Mingyu Corporation? Interesting!' Miao Tianhua thought as he spun the string of costly lotus bodhi beads in his hands lightly.

At the same time, a few other men sat down beside Miao Tianhua—two middle-aged men and a slightly bent old man about fifty, sixty years old.

Xie Qi did not dare to be negligent in his service as he ordered for tea and fruits to be served while Miao Tianhua's group waited.

With Miao Tinahua's demeanor, no one would have expected that this decent-looking man was actually a ruthless butcher with his hands stained dark red with blood!

Soon, more people arrived in succession into the hall under the lead of Xie Qi.

Within them, there were people from Wulong Gang who had come to watch the show.

Jin Sanjue had also arrived with a bunch of Dark Jing experts behind him. The head of Wulong gang, Xiong Wanbi, immediately ran over and bowed enthusiastically as soon as he saw Jin Sanjue, "Salutations, Master Jin!"

"En." Jin Sanjue took a careless glance at Xiong Wanbi and nodded curtly. Following that, he did not bother to pay any more attention to him. He pulled out a chair for himself and sat down with his eyes closed.

Xiong Wanbi looked around awkwardly and returned to his own seat. He didn't dare to express any displeasure towards Jin Sanjue at all.

The dark—also known as underground—society had always existed since ancient times, never disappearing even once; just like how there must be shadows if there was light, and night if there was day.

Verily, to suppress is not as good as to open up a path. The state had also silently allowed the existence of the dark society. After all, it was impossible to completely eradicate such things.

As a way of controlling the unruly gangs, the state had recruited talents from all over the country to form a special department of martial experts. This department was created specifically to handle all of the matters related to the underground society. Every city had at least one Evolved Jing master watching over it!

Similarly, in every provincial capital city, there would be a large department. Some of them even had Xiantian masters in them!

One could say that all of the authority was held in the hands of the martial expert stationed in the city. If any gangs offended the expert in charge of the underground society of their city, that gang would be finished.

Of course, there were gangs with actual strength, like Green Gang and Hongmen! These gangs could even act freely in large-scale provinces part of their territory!

Very obviously, Wulong gang was not one of those. They could not even afford to offend an Evolved Jing master, and could only swallow their pride.

The time passed slowly and the crowd in the hall was beginning to feel increasingly dissatisfied. "Hmph! The so called Bei Feng's Guards are actually just a bunch of cowardly rats?" Qi Zetian's voice rang out.

Xiong Wanbi's face turned ugly at this. No matter what, Bei Feng's Guards was still a gang from Qingcheng. However, the circumstances were not in their favor, so he was not in a position to say anything.

"Master Jin, there's no trace of the other party at all. What do you think we should do about this issue now?" For a person who was in charge of the previous number one gang in Fuzhou, Miao Tianhua and his group were not on the same level as Wulong gang. They had various connections and had good relationships with many Evolved Jing masters. They naturally did not need to watch their tone with Jin Sanjue.

"You just came too early, that's all."

A soft but clear voice drifted in from behind the door, causing everyone to turn around in tandem.

Over ten people walked in and looked around with disinterest. The person at the very head of the group was Bei Feng himself. Following right behind him were Ripper and Mystic Four. The rest of the men were standing neatly at the back with expressionless faces.

"Badump!"

Jin Sanjue felt his heart skip a beat as he rubbed his eyes and did a double take when he saw the familiar figure at the door. Bloody hell, why was he bumping into this malignant star at every corner?!

Bei Feng also widened his eyes slightly as he saw the old man at the back. They really had some fate between them, he concluded inwardly with a smile.

"Youngster, where is my son?" Miao Tianhua stood up and demanded with a low voice as Bei Feng walked in.

"Your son? Which lake did you guys throw his son into?" Bei Feng turned around and asked.

Mystic Four felt the corner of his mouth twitch uncontrollably as he looked blankly back at Bei Feng. This joke... was not funny at all!

Miao Tianhua's anger surged as he pointed at Bei Feng. "How courageous!" Wasn't this the same as slapping his face in front of everyone?

"Since everyone is here, each side can begin sending out 5 people. The setting will be a death match. Only when one side is completely annihilated will a winner be announced."

Jin Sanjue stood up and cleared his throat awkwardly as he announced. At the same time, he casted a pitiful gaze at Miao Tianhua.

'This Miao Tianhua is finished. Only... should I tell those three?'

Jin Sanjue had a weird expression on his face as he thought. Ultimately, he still perished the thought in his heart. Even if they were martial experts from the special department sent to control the underground forces, if they intervened in some matters and ended up dying, it would just be a wasted death. Furthermore, there was no point in offending a peak Evolved Jing master for the sake of these people.

"Then, I'll have to trouble the three masters to handle the match. When this is over, I will definitely prepare some remunerations that the three masters will be satisfied with," Miao Tianhua cupped his hands and smiled as he turned to face the three men who were seated behind him.

"No worries, it's just a small matter."

The two middle-aged men did not seem to hold much interest in this dispute. Both of them were official overseers from Fuzhou. They were only one step away from breaking through to Evolved Jing, and naturally did not put a gang from a third-rate city in their eyes.

If it wasn't such a tedious process to wipe out a gang, a word from those two could easily determine the life or death of those small gangs.

In contrast, the oldest of the three, Men Jie, kept his silence this time. From the moment the Bei Feng's Guards stepped in, he had felt a strange restlessness in his heart. A feeling like this should not have appeared for no reason! Martial practitioners generally had a lot of faith in their own instincts. At this moment, he did not intend to dip his feet in these murky waters.

Men Jie observed the new group silently. The first thing that caught his eye was Ripper. The strange frame of the robot along with the many layers of clothes on it was really out of place. Furthermore, it was such a hot day, but it was covered in such a thick layer of black clothes.

As he continued observing the robot, Men Jie felt the unease in his heart grow stronger and stronger. 'I cannot sense any fluctuations of blood and qi from this person, but he can still cause me to feel such a great sense of fear! This must be an expert!'

As he turned his eye to the person standing at the head of the group, the first thing that struck him was the calmness on the person's face. Then, the next thing he felt was a sense of indomitability!

That person's blood and qi was evidently weak, but he somehow felt like he could not pose a threat to that person at all! When he closed his eyes and sensed further, Men Jie felt like he was standing before a volcano which could erupt at anytime!

Shaking his head slightly, Men Jie swallowed nervously. Fortunately, he had not been too quick to answer Miao Tianhua. Otherwise, he would find himself riding a tiger, unable to dismount.

"Master Men?" Miao Tianhua prompted with a questioning tone.

Men Jie coughed awkwardly and shifted his eyes furtively. "To handle a gang from such a nameless town, those two should be enough. This old one will stay out of the fight this time." Men Jie threw out a random excuse. He couldn't possibly say that he did not have the confidence to go up against the other party, right?

Miao Tianhua did not think too much about it. Martial experts all had their own quirky pride. Perhaps he was unwilling to raise his hands against regular people? Since the old man was not willing to join in, he could save the 500-year-old ginseng in his hands.

In contrast, Jin Sanjue looked at Men Jie with interest. 'This old fellow is not simple!'

The two middle-aged men shrugged and stepped onto the stage along with three of the strongest guards under Mingyu Corporation. The three were also not weak. They were martial practitioners at the grand circle of Light Jing!

"It's your turn now. Please pick the members participating in this death match," Jin Sanjue nodded lightly at Bei Feng while he croaked with a polite tone.

Bei Feng did not seem to have heard him at all. Instead of playing the cards according to the rules, he simply pointed at the five men at the center of the hall and commanded in a light voice. "Kill them all!"

Ripper, who was hidden beneath the many layers of black robes, looked up and its eyes flashed once with a red light. Then, it dug its heels into the expensive wood-tiled floor and kicked off with an explosive might! The floor under its feet immediately broke apart, splintering into countless pieces!
