Chapter 436: Chapter 269

Fang Cheng’s gaze quickly swept across and recognized the person leading the shouting.

The towering man was none other than Xiong Wei, the second of the "Black River Heroes".

Earlier in the underground gold vault, the two brothers and Nail Head had a dispute over the Golden Benba Bottle, turning the heroes into lone wolves.

Fang Cheng squinted slightly, letting his gaze drift between Xiong Wei and Nail Head, deep in thought.

Nail Head’s eyes twitched as if he was straining to recall who the person before him was.

Then, he asked somewhat perplexed:

"Big dumb guy, I don’t know you. What do you want with me? Coming to the wilderness in the dead of night, lost your mind, haven’t you?"

As he spoke, a look of concern typically reserved for someone with a mental handicap appeared on his ghastly white face.

Upon hearing this, Xiong Wei’s eyes widened in anger, unable to hold back as he roared once more:

"Bullshit! My brother’s life ended at your hands, and now I’m here to take yours!"

"Master Xiong, don’t waste words on him, let’s charge and end him!"

"Right, kill this bastard quickly, avenge our brother!"

A few mutants surrounding them echoed these words, adding to the uproar and urging them on.

They were all accomplices Xiong Wei had gathered, each armed and empowered, making them appear quite menacing.

"Nail Head, back in the underground vault, with so many eyes on us, you got lucky and escaped with your miserable life."

When Xiong Wei spoke, his teeth gnashed loudly, the muscles on his cheeks bulging hard:

"Don’t think it’s over. Huh, with my people surrounding you now, kneel and beg for mercy, I might leave you intact."

After learning Nail Head’s whereabouts, he quickly led his companions and secured a hidden spot to set an ambush.

To ensure success, he even promised hefty rewards, temporarily hiring several helpers from other teams, striving to make sure there were no loose ends.

No matter the awe-inspiring prowess Nail Head displayed in the vault, he wouldn’t escape now and would surely meet his end!

Nail Head, however, shrugged nonchalantly, seemingly unaffected, and replied:

"Is that so? Well, I’m looking forward to it."

In an instant, both sides were on edge, creating a tense standoff.

Nail Head tucked his hands into his sleeves, emitting a spine-chilling rustling sound, his eyes even holding a hint of provocation, revealing no clear sense of his strength.

Xiong Wei stared at him intently, as if he would tear him apart with his eyes.

Simultaneously, he tightened his grip on the giant axe in his hand, as if this increased his confidence.

The surrounding crowd also breathed heavier, gripping their weapons, eager to strike.

Xiong Wei took a bold half-step forward, then suddenly stopped.

He cast his gaze towards another spectator standing aside, as if uninvolved:

"Brother White Ghost, I see you also have a grudge against this guy, want to join forces and kill this bastard?"

His eyes held a trace of hope as he looked at Fang Cheng.

After all, whether it was the punch that exploded Murder King in the vault or his agile evasion of Nail Head’s sneak attack just now,

this masked mysterious man was definitely a top-notch expert who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

If the two could unite forces, the heroes combining, dealing with the nail-headed freak would be as easy as slicing through butter.

Thinking this, Xiong Wei couldn’t help but raise his chin and puff out his chest.

"Once the deed is done, I would be willing to count you as a friend and share riches and glory."

"Feel free to ask around about me, Xiong in the Martial World is someone worth knowing, with plenty of cash, many brothers, known for my loyalty, and any juicy prospects coming up, I’d definitely invite you to feast together..."

He grew more enthusiastic as he spoke, nearly spitting with excitement, already convinced Fang Cheng would be his ideal ally.

If they joined forces, aside from the freakish Nail Head, any formidable opponent would be taken down, and who would dare underestimate them in the Martial World thereafter.

Nail Head, upon hearing this, smirked with amusement, casting a leisurely glance over as if watching an entertaining play.

Everyone else’s heads turned in unison, all eyes falling on Fang Cheng.

Under their watchful gaze, Fang Cheng remained silent momentarily.

Then, he calmly spoke:

"I have no interest nor any intent to get involved in your grudge, go ahead as you wish."

Xiong Wei was stunned by these words, his pride wiped clean from his face, replaced by utter disbelief.

He never expected his acclaimed status and name might face rejection.

Nail Head chuckled loudly at this, seemingly mocking Xiong Wei for his overconfident plans now falling through.

Fang Cheng slowly stepped back a few steps, his gaze scanning everyone with a vigilant glint.

Then, with a flicker, he swiftly dashed towards the outside of the encirclement.

In just a few strides, he disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

Leaving the group behind, looking at one another, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward for a moment.

Only the rising and falling cries of birds echoed among the trees.

Then, someone suddenly shouted "Go," breaking the brief silence.

The battle abruptly ignited, and intense combat ensued in the woods.

Meanwhile, Fang Cheng had already raced several hundred meters away at a speed others could only admire.

Based on what he saw earlier, the Lu Family’s main force was on the way and would soon arrive, likely sealing the mountain for a search.
