Starting with fishing, I've traversed a chaotic world of demons and martial arts.

Seeing that no one spoke, Li Tianxing continued to press the issue:

"I'm only giving you three seconds to think it over."

They both swallowed hard...

They were all thinking to themselves how to answer Li Tianxing.

Cold sweat streamed down their faces.

It's not that they don't want to reveal who's behind it all.

Rather, they didn't know who the mastermind was.

They're just people who do things for money!

If we're talking about who's most likely to know the inside story, it's definitely their leader.

But their leader had already been killed by Li Tianxing.

The body is probably cold by now...

"one……"

"Bang—" The gunshot rang out again.

Li Tianxing didn't call out "two," but simply randomly drew a lucky winner.

Seeing his companion fall to the ground, the man cried out in despair:

"I don't know who's behind this!"

We're just here with our boss on business.

If anyone knows who's behind this, it's probably our boss.

But he... he was already beaten to death by you!

Li Tianxing was slightly taken aback; he had forgotten about that.

But there's no other way; if I don't take out their leader immediately...

These bandits couldn't be subdued by me so quickly.

"Okay, in that case, I'll have to look it up myself."

Li Tianxing stuffed the Ma brand paddle back into his pocket.

"He...he didn't kill me?"

The bandit was incredulous when he saw Li Tianxing stuff the gun into his arms.

Would a ruthless killer like Li Tianxing let me go?

The answer is obviously no...

Li Tianxing simply bent down and picked up a pistol that was next to his feet.

Li Tianxing pointed his pistol at the man's head:

"Sorry, bro."

My gun just ran out of bullets... so I switched to another one.

Your answer is of no value to me.

Therefore, I have no reason to spare your life.

Moreover... your death could significantly boost my chances of advancement.

After saying that, Li Tianxing pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"boom--"

Another gunshot rang out.

The last bandit also died at Li Tianxing's hands.

At the same time, Li Tianxing's interface also changed.

[Technique: Shooting (Beginner)]

Progress: (4/300)

[Ability: Proficient with pistols; unerring aim within 30 paces.]

The ability is simple, but very useful!

Li Tianxing glanced at the pistol in his hand.

The model and structure of the pistol were immediately identified.

What I'm holding in my hand now is an "Old Dog" brand revolver.

It's an old gun from the previous dynasty, a discarded product that flowed into China from abroad.

The paint has been worn off in many places on the gun body.

Li Tianxing glanced at the engravings on the magazine; there were five lines engraved on it.

This means... this gun has claimed five lives.

Today, however, there are only six.

However, the person who engraved the lines could no longer engrave lines on this gun!

Because he too died at Li Tianxing's hands...

"Actually, what attracts me most is not the proficiency with pistols."

"But within thirty paces, every shot hits its mark!"

Thirty steps is roughly a distance of ten meters.

From now on, I'm sure I won't miss when shooting within ten meters...

Li Tianxing held the gun in one hand and raised the "Old Dog" brand revolver.

He set his sights on the teacup on the table by the door.

"boom--"

Li Tianxing pulled the trigger, and the teacup was pierced.

The remaining tea in the cup splashed all over the floor!

Li Tianxing nodded in satisfaction.

"It's easy to use! And the teacup is so small."

I used to be able to aim even when holding a gun with both hands...

Now it's switched to one hand, just a casual shot.

It hit the object I was looking for!

Li Tianxing threw away the "Old Dog" brand revolver in his hand.

He started analyzing it in his mind...

But who exactly hired these bandits today?

Two of the Black Dragon Gang's underlings are also absent today...

They must have known this place was dangerous today, so they avoided it?

They might be hiding in the distance right now, observing this place...

……

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the entrance of the teahouse.

Li Tianxing raised his head and looked towards the doorway.

A squad of policemen carrying foreign guns rushed into the teahouse.

The one leading the group was none other than Song Mao, an old acquaintance of Li Tianxing!

Song Mao, carrying a gun, saw Li Tianxing looking somewhat disheveled.

He looked around the room again and discovered the terrible state of the teahouse.

"Tianxing, what's going on?!"

Song Mao's mind was a little fuzzy.

Based on the situation at the scene...

Everyone lying here was killed by Li Tianxing.

The patrol officers who came in all recognized Li Tianxing.

They didn't dare to question Li Tianxing either.

So they began to examine the corpses on the ground.

"Isn't that simple?"

"Brother Mao, of course they're trying to kill me."

Song Mao came to Li Tianxing's side:

"What's going on?"

I rushed over immediately after hearing someone report the incident.

Li Tianxing found a reasonably intact chair, sat down, and casually said:

"Don't even mention it, today was such a bad day."

I just wanted to come in for a cup of tea, but I never expected to be ambushed like this…

Li Tianxing briefly recounted what had happened.

Of course, he concealed some details of how he used the demon soul.

Song Mao found it hard to believe:

"You...you killed nine people all by yourself?"

Even if they all had guns?

Li Tianxing loosened his shoulders:

"I have no choice but to use lethal force."

"If it weren't them lying on the ground today, it would be me, Mao-ge."

Song Mao didn't ask Li Tianxing where he got the gun.

Because his subconscious told him that Liu Hui must have done it for him.

Matsushige stared at the scene before him, falling silent...

That's incredible!

Meanwhile, the patrol officers responsible for moving the body whispered to each other:

"Dude, this is fucking terrifying!"

Nine people in total, all of them are dead!

"Except for one who was hit on the forehead by a heavy object and died."

The remaining eight were all shot and killed.

"This guy is too awesome!"

He took care of all nine men on the other side, all of them armed!

"Not only is he skilled in martial arts, but his marksmanship is also incredibly accurate?"

"Not only that, didn't you notice there's another bomb crater over there?"

It must have been caused by those bandits using a wooden-handled grenade…

"Brother Xing is really too fierce!"

I feel that whether it's Hong Meng from Hongyun Martial Arts School or Zhang Zhengqi from the Black Dragon Gang...

None of them could escape unscathed from nine fully armed bandits.

"And you even took care of them all by yourself, right?"

"..."

After hearing the details of Li Tianxing's incident, Song Mao pondered and said:

"Tianxing, you have the power to gather such a group of people to kill you."

They shouldn't be a small force.

You'd better be extra careful!

Li Tianxing seemed to be deep in thought:

"Yes, I already know what I'm doing."

There's one more thing, Brother Mao..."

Li Tianxing also relayed to Song Mao what Zhang Li had told him after escaping.

He also added a long section of his own analysis.

Song Mao nodded repeatedly after listening:

"I see. That explains why I couldn't find the foundation of the Pudu sect no matter how I investigated."

It turns out his hideout was on a cargo ship on the Qinghe River.

Li Tianxing suddenly asked:

"In any case, something will definitely be found at Qinghe Wharf."

The Qinghe Wharf has always been under the control of the Black Dragon Gang.

Therefore, I think we should investigate the Black Dragon Gang.

What do you think, Brother Mao...?

Song Mao lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, as if he had made up his mind:

"You're right."

Then...

Investigate!
