I Have A Martial Dao World-Chapter 415 - : 415. Hit the jackpot
Chapter 415: 415. Hit the jackpot
The Black Dragon Gang was established less than three months ago.
It was a faction temporarily formed by bandits, mountain bandit leaders, and other underworld figures specifically to “profit from despair,” as a certain lord put it.
These people originally thought that the Coalition Forces of the Great Powers would definitely breach the capital, and they could loot a fortune amidst the chaos.
But they did not expect that the foreigners would collapse midway into their venture, so the Black Dragon Gang had to resort to the small business of human trafficking.
Thanks to the war, the profits from this line of work turned out to be incredibly high.
Demons that had lived for hundreds of years were particularly fond of the fresh blood of young boys, girls, and virgins, willing to pay a steep price for it.
At this moment, the leader of the convoy—Duan Xiong—looked back at the trembling “merchandise” filled to the brim and revealed a smile of bountiful joy on his face.
A subordinate with a missing piece of his upper lip flattered, “Boss, another hundred taels of silver in the coffers this time, working under you is truly exhilarating.”
The others chorused in agreement, “That’s right, that’s right, only our boss would have such connections.”
“Boss is about to be knighted, isn’t he?”
“Need you even ask, it’s just a matter of time~”
A crowd of people offered insane flattery, and Duan Xiong’s face showed a modest smile:
“It’s a pity they are all ordinary goods, had we acquired some top-quality items, we could have traded them for gold with the foreigners.”
At the mention of gold, the group sucked in a breath of cold air.
The subordinate with the missing lip said quickly, “Top-quality goods depend on luck; I’m already content with this much profit, Brother Scar.”
The crowd universally agreed, indicating they had already made quite a bit, and for a moment, the sound of bootlicking drowned out even the noise of the truck’s engine.
In principle, everyone was at the Blood-Exchange Realm, with no need for deliberate flattery.
But who could blame them when Duan Xiong had such a good father, whose superb Technique of Observing Beauty had presented numerous beauties to Grandmaster Yuan, gaining his favor and a high-ranking position.
Duan Xiong’s father was none other than the Elder of Joyful Sect—Duan Zhi Gui.
At the moment, while Duan Xiong was enjoying everyone’s fawning, in his heart, there was some regret that he hadn’t managed to find that “top-quality good”—a peerless beauty.
With his family’s profound knowledge in the Technique of Observing Beauty, Duan Xiong had hoped to find an exceptional beauty as an opportunity to advance his status.
Even if he didn’t sell her to the foreigners, presenting her to Grandmaster Yuan would bring countless benefits.
Unfortunately, such matters relied on fate; one couldn’t simply obtain them by wishing…
Just then, his eyes suddenly widened—there appeared a swaying, beautiful shadow at the end of the road!
Her skin was translucent, whiter than snow, and her delicate, pretty melon-seed face was utterly endearing.
At the tender age of adolescence, brimming with youthful vitality, she was like a newly bloomed spring flower, indescribably lovely.
“Sss~” Duan Xiong inhaled sharply, “This is indeed a top-quality item! Today must be the day I strike it rich!”
The others also saw Su Er Ya and quickly stopped the vehicle and surrounded her!
~~~~~~~~~~
Su Er Ya, seeing this group of ill-intentioned people, called out with a frosty face, “What do you want to do!”
Hearing her bell-like, tender and clear voice, Duan Xiong’s smile widened, delighted to have unexpectedly stumbled upon such luck!
“Little sister, how about your brother takes you to a nice place~”
Su Er Ya spat out, “Scoundrel!”
Duan Xiong wore a confident and composed smile, his side had 4 at the Blood-Exchange and another 10 at the Bone-Tempering and Organ Refining level; this young girl had no chance of escaping, but he had to be gentle—she must not be harmed.
Just then, a fierce shout suddenly rang out, “Stop, stop, stop!!”
The person seemed somewhat timid at first, stammering, but by the time he yelled out, he was filled with boldness and fearlessness.
Turning their heads, they saw a burly man standing 1.9 meters tall, the boss of “Baihe Gully’s Trio”—Zhu Beneng.
His roar startled his own two brothers the most!
“Baihe Gully’s Trio” only had the cultivation of Bone-Tempering, and even the flunkies on the opposing side had achieved Organ Refining; speaking out at this moment was akin to courting death!
His second and third brothers hurriedly hopped over to cover their boss’s mouth, at the same time turning with ingratiating smiles, “Sorry, sorry, my big brother’s gone out of his mind.”
“Carry on, we didn’t see anything.”
Duan Xiong’s group immediately scoffed in derision, their faces full of mockery.
Zhu Benen broke free from the restraint of his two brothers and took a deep breath before shouting:
“It’s broad daylight, the world is clear and bright, and yet you dare to abduct a young girl in the street to feed to a demon? Are you even human?!”
After letting out those words, any trace of cowardice in Zhu Benen vanished without a trace, and he held a defiant gaze even when being stared down by a group of practitioners far superior in cultivation.
Duan Xiong suddenly burst into laughter, “Ha, another foolhardy hero who knows not the bounds of life and death. We’ve killed no less than a thousand like you, yet there seems no end to it. It’s truly sickening…”
As he spoke, Duan Xiong’s face turned cold, and with an equally icy voice, he commanded, “Old Scar, do them in.”
“Sure thing~ Watch and learn~” The man with a piece of his lip missing sneered and slowly approached the “Three Heroes of Baihe Gully”.
“Ha~ Having fallen into my hands, you’re out of luck. I will remove your organs and feed them to you.”
Upon hearing this, the second and the third brothers burst into tears on the spot, frightfully clinging to each other and screaming madly at their elder brother:
“Zhu Benen! You cursed madman! After burning down our family’s opium fields, now you bring us this misfortune. Fuck your ancestor!”
Zhu Benen, also known as Zhu Benen, laughed bitterly, “Your ancestor is our own father… I’m sorry, I just couldn’t help it. In my next life, I’ll repay you, even if I have to become an ox or a horse…”
“Wuuu…” The two younger brothers just cried. Bone-Tempering compared to Blood-Exchange was as vast a gap as that between humans and ants.
At that moment, Duan Xiong’s group had surrounded Su Erya, preparing to capture her alive while Old Scar neared with a hideous smile.
Zhu Benen shouted, “The Zhu family was noble lineage of the former dynasty. We may face our deaths today, but we must not stand by and do nothing. For over twenty years we’ve lived in disgrace, but today, show me your backbone!”
“We’ve only lived a little over ten years…” The second and third brothers sobbed, standing shoulder to shoulder, showing a bit of courage in the face of life and death.
And Zhu Benen felt an unprecedented clarity of thought, facing insurmountable enemies, having done all he could, and brought no shame to his ancestors.
At this moment, this upright man’s will was unyielding, fearless of life and death. Seeing his true self clearly, his spirit would never retreat— this is called— steadfastness!
“I’ll be damned, I’ve actually made a breakthrough at the brink of death…”
Zhu Benen didn’t quite know what to make of this. He could find the pot of silver hidden beneath the rubble. He was naturally talented in Spirit Refinement and made a breakthrough in the nick of time.
But steadfast Bone-Tempering was still no match for Blood-Exchange, and death seemed inevitable.
“Oh well… it’s not in my fate after all…”
Just as the “Three Heroes of Baihe Gully” closed their eyes to await death, and the myriad enemies cackled menacingly, closing in, a sudden explosion echoed through the air, followed by a wave of booming sound blasts!
Zhu Benen’s newly broken through Spirit Refinement Realm proved useful as time around him seemingly slowed to a crawl.
Even so, he could only see something flash by, and the malicious smile on Old Scar’s face froze.
The next second, his expression turned to one of sheer horror, and his head rolled off his shoulders, tumbling down to the feet of the three brothers, causing them to jump back in fright.
Afterward, a streak of silver darted through the fray, and the chilling sound of flesh and bone being severed echoed continuously.
This silver flash moved so fast that the enemies didn’t even have time to scream before their heads fell one by one.
When the dust finally settled, the “Three Heroes of Baihe Gully” saw that the once arrogant Duan Xiong was now missing an arm, kneeling on the ground and repeatedly kowtowing to the young girl, the thumping loud and clear.
“Lady hero, spare my life, my noble Lady, I was blind and did not see Mount Tai! My father is an Elder of Joyful Sect—Duan Zhi Gui, a favored individual before Grandmaster Yuan. If you kill me, it will surely have repercussions.”
Su Erya paid him no mind, addressing Fran instead, “Sister Fran, why did you wait till the last second to act, were you trying to scare me~”
“I didn’t want to dirty myself with disgusting blood~” Fran didn’t reveal herself, just communicated telepathically:

“What are you afraid of, within a hundred miles not a thing can escape your master uncle’s notice.”
Her voice had barely faded when Lu Yao’s voice emerged from the Lake Sword: [Who were you all fighting with?]
Su Erya quickly replied, “Master Uncle, this man harbored ill intentions towards your disciple, but he claims to be under Grandmaster Yuan…”
The girl didn’t want to cause any trouble for Lu Yao.
Duan Xiong, witnessing the scene, grew even more terrified—it was clear this was a favored child of heaven under the care of a master, even granted a Flying Sword for protection. He must have had lard in his brain to dare launch an attack.
He cried out desperately: “Spare me! I swear I will reform and lead a righteous life from now on…”
But before he could finish speaking, the Lake Sword abruptly turned his head into a cloud of flesh, leaving behind a headless corpse that sprayed blood high into the air before collapsing.
Lu Yao then said: [Such trash, is there any point in keeping him alive until New Year’s?]
Fran seized control of the Lake Sword back, screaming, “Lu Yao, you bastard! You’ve dirtied me!”]
[…I’ll grant you some blessings when you return.]
“Ah!? Really? It’s a promise then!”]
~~~~~~~~~~~
From a distance, the “Three Heroes of Baihe Gully” were completely dumbfounded by the sudden and dramatic turnaround!
