Chapter 408: Chapter 408: No Gentleman and No Real Man Without Venom

Xiao Zheng single-handedly battled three Early Innate masters, his fists and legs flying, moving with effortless ease.

Suddenly, he felt a strong gust of wind. He punched Yan Han away and turned his head, his pupils abruptly constricted.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Seven feathered arrows shot through the sky, aimed directly at Xiao Zheng, each carrying the momentum of a lethal strike.

Qin Batian, wielding the Treasure Carving Bow, revealed a ferocious smile, "In today’s Jianghu, the masters who can block my Seven-star Linked Pearl Arrow are but a few! Evil God, your death is certain!"

What the heck?

Seven-star Linked Pearl Arrow?

Xiao Zheng quickly dodged, shocked to find that the seven arrows were not released at once but one after another, each arrow pointing toward his vital parts.

The one coming straight at him was ferocious, aiming to pierce Xiao Zheng’s heart.

"Hahahaha..."

Xiao Zheng threw back his head and roared with laughter, then slowly his smile faded, turning to a cold and sinister expression. In a flash of movement, he performed an aerial somersault and deftly caught the first arrow.

Then the second, the third...

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

Under Qin Batian’s astonished gaze, Xiao Zheng struck seven times, seizing all seven arrows in his hand as if picking objects from a bag, all done in the blink of an eye.

"You old fool, your Seven-star Linked Pearl Arrow is hardly up to par."

"Impossible!"

Qin Batian’s eyes were about to split apart, his fists clenched so tightly they turned white, still trembling slightly.

His own proud secret technique, a millennium legacy of the theft sector, rendered so ineffective despite his lifetime of conceit.

He felt as if he had been doused with ice water, a chilling realization in his heart.

Could it be that the Evil God is a Peak of Innate expert?

"Hmph!"

Xiao Zheng let out a cold snort, using their own methods against them. Leaning back, he gathered his strength, then suddenly threw the seven arrows forward in unison.

"Seven-star Linked Pearl Arrow? Laozi will teach you a move--Seven Stars in a Row."

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

"How is this possible?"

Qin Batian’s pupils reflected the seven arrows shooting towards him, the cold gleam on the arrowheads flickering sharply.

He stood frozen in shock, the arrows growing larger in his view, then passing beyond his field of vision.

"Puh..."

Qin Batian spat out a mouthful of old blood, his face turning a waxy yellow as he looked down to see all seven arrows lodged in his chest, blood gushing out steadily, drip, drip, drip...

Clearly, his heart had been pierced. His life force was rapidly fading, his body swaying.

"Sect Leader!"

Kang Kai, Chen Chi, and Yan Han were all trembling with fear, they leapt out of the fray, rushing to Qin Batian’s side, supporting his staggering body.

"Evil God, you are cruel!"

"A gentleman does not stand under a wall in danger, no venom, no stalwart!"

Xiao Zheng stood immovable as a mountain against the wind, completely still, his mouth curving into a cold smirk: "The shooter shall always be shot! One must die under a hail of arrows!"

"Cough, cough..."

Qin Batian was running out of strength, coughing up chunks of dark red clotted blood, using his last bit of energy to weakly point at Xiao Zheng and sneer, "All members of the theft sector, heed my command. As long as one breath remains, ensure the Evil God has no grave to rest in!"

After speaking, his neck twisted, and he died with his eyes wide open.

"Following the Sect Leader’s orders!"

The remaining 200-plus members of the thieves’ group let out agonized roars, their eyes filled with hatred towards the Sky Net experts, as if it spanned the length and breadth of the rivers and seas.

Yan Han gently closed Qin Batian’s eyes, and finally, he passed in peace.

He stood up and roared fiercely, "I, Yan Han, in my capacity as the Head of the Elder Council, now assume the position of Sect Leader! To the old friends of Jianghu present here, if you assist the thieves’ group in overcoming this calamity, I will repay you generously!"

"Roar..."

The onlookers from Jianghu erupted in excitement, their eyes ablaze with desire. The thieves’ group had profound resources; if they were to be so forthcoming, it would surely benefit one for a lifetime, an enormous temptation indeed.

"Young Lin, aren’t you facing a bottleneck in your cultivation? With the help of the thieves’ group and their heavenly materials and earthly treasures, you’ll certainly break through your constraints and reach new heights."

"That’s right, Lao Liang, let’s join forces and turn the situation upside down, saving the thieves’ group from dire straits and annihilating the Evil God!"

"Heh heh, two idiots. Heavenly materials and earthly treasures? You need to be alive to enjoy them..."

"Blades and spears have no eyes; you’d better leave now. It’s better to live badly than to die well. There are plenty of tender ladies waiting for us to break their seals."

"..."

In an instant, the people of Jianghu split into two groups, one with the sense to leave and the other blinded by rich promises, drawing their weapons and joining the battle.

"Very good!"

Xiao Zheng clapped his hands and praised, "There are indeed not a few chivalrous heroes with hot blood and loyalty this day. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, don’t blame me for being merciless. Long Qie, Titan, Ten Killings, and all the elite brothers, slaughter them all, leave no one behind!"

"Yes, boss!"

The Sky Net members shouted in unison, charging forward like crazed demons, with ferocious howls. Wherever they went, blood was spilled, and the stench filled the air.

"Am I dead?" The "righteous" Young Lin, after clashing with a Sky Net elite with a single blow, felt his head grow heavy, followed by a bone-deep pain descending from the top of his head as blood wound its way down, his brain matter scattering as if half of his skull had been sheared off.

Seeing Young Lin’s death, Lao Liang was so terrified that he soiled himself, then his body trembled and he collapsed to the ground, his belly pierced through, his organs chilling as he muttered to himself, "Men die for wealth, as birds perish for food. I am not willing to accept this!"

Xiao Zheng, seething with killing intent, strode towards Yan Han. As the new Sect Leader, occupying a high position came with a price; when facing a battle, one inevitably becomes the primary target.

"Master Yan, such great prestige you have. Since you seek death, then I shall let you die!"

"Whoosh!"

Xiao Zheng moved like a flash of lightning, striking from the air like a dragon riding clouds, his attack fierce and full of overwhelming killing intent.

"Bang!"

Upon clashing, Yan Han’s arm, which he used to block, made a "crackling" sound, clearly broken by the blow. He screamed in terror, "Where is the thieves’ envoy? Come quickly!"

"Sect Leader, worry not, I am here!"

"Three together, surround and kill the Evil God!"

Kang Kai and Chen Chi, recovering from their shock, roared angrily, charging at Xiao Zheng with fury-fueled hatred.

"Hmph, coming to the rescue? It’s already too late!"

Xiao Zheng sneered, and with a succession of vicious kicks like a cannon barrage, he relentlessly struck the top of Yan Han’s head.

"Pang!"

"Crack!"

Following the dull thud was the clear sound of bones breaking. Yan Han stood motionless, his eyes vacant like a statue, his mind in chaos; he then fell backward.

"Damn it, Evil God, I curse your ancestors!"

Chen Chi, horrified and raging, saw the new Sect Leader—Yan Han—with his skull caved in, unmistakably dead.

"Evil God! Your actions will surely bring divine retribution upon you!"

Kang Kai, too, couldn’t help but feel a chill inside despite his tough exterior, cursing as he advanced with Chen Chi, both unleashing a shocking blow.
