"Throwing knives!" Xiao Tian was shocked when he heard that. He did not expect to meet the fifth-ranked Flying Dagger among the top ten assassins so soon.
"I didn't expect that someone would still remember me after so many years! " Haha!" A vain laughter echoed on the passenger ship in the middle of the night, sounding extremely ear-piercing.
After Flying Dagger finished laughing, his face suddenly turned cold and he said,"But you must die today.”With a wave of his hand, more than 30 men standing beside him rushed over with shiny knives in their right hands. It was not difficult to see that these thugs were experienced in battle and were completely different from those hooligans who fought on the streets.
More than 30 people charged at Xiao Tian's group with extraordinary momentum. Their shouts echoed across the open sea.
Without waiting for Xiao Tian's order, Zhang Gang led Wang Sen, Liu Zihu, and the three Guardian Deities to charge at the 30-odd people with machetes. The Flying Dagger, one of the top ten killers, was still sitting leisurely in his chair, watching the fight that was completely out of proportion. He was holding a two-inch knife in his hand, lowering his head to trim his fingernails from time to time, just like an adult watching a few children laughing and fighting.
However, Xiao Tian knew that this top-notch assassin ranked fifth in the Ten Kills did have something he could be proud of. His capital was his strength, the small silver throwing knife in his hand. Li Dong and Xiaolong, who were standing beside him, were even more nervous as they watched the throwing knife in his hand. Perhaps this throwing knife would shoot at Xiao Tian at any time. Li Dong had already made up his mind that if he could not break the throwing knife, he would rather use his own body to block it than let Xiao Tian die under the throwing knife.
Xiao Tian expressionlessly looked at Zhang Gang and the other six who were charging at the thirty over people. The people who were charging at him were all wearing white singlets, like a white torrent. Zhang Gang and the others wore black t-shirts, like black lightning. The lightning and the flood converged in the blink of an eye, and the sound of metal colliding with each other rose and fell. Sparks flew from time to time when the blades intersected. It could be seen that everyone was trying to kill the enemy with one strike. Among the six, other than Wang Sen and Liu Zihu who were slightly weaker, the other four were all brave and good at fighting. Even though the white-robed men were extraordinary, each of them could fight two or three people alone.
Fortunately, the bow of the passenger ship was spacious enough for more than forty people to fight. Ten minutes later, more than ten people had been killed by Zhang Gang and the others. The deck of the ship was dyed dark red by the blood of more than ten people. Zhang Gang and the others were also heavily injured, especially Wang Sen and Liu Zihu, who had a half-foot-long knife wound on their chest and back. They had lost the ability to fight. The six of them stood back to back, holding their machetes tightly. They panted heavily as they looked at the remaining dozen or so white-robed men who slowly surrounded them.
"Pa, pa." " Flying Knife " stood up from his chair and clapped his hands as he said," Haha, not bad. Not bad." With a wave of his hand, he summoned back the remaining dozen or so people. In the blink of an eye, the dozen or so people retreated to the side of the " throwing knife ". They did not even look at their companions who were already dead on the deck. It was obvious that everyone was a group of strictly trained killers. It could be seen from their indifferent eyes towards death.
When Zhang Gang and the others saw that the people surrounding them had retreated, they quickly helped Wang Sen and Liu Zihu back to Xiao Tian and the others. Xiao Tian looked at Wang Sen and Liu Zihu with concern, and the anger in his heart soared. His sharp gaze was fixed on the throwing knife standing on the deck.
What a sharp gaze! " It's the first time I've seen such a murderous look in his eyes after more than ten years of being in the industry. I've decided not to keep such a person alive," Flying Dagger thought to himself.
"Xiao Tian, I didn't expect your subordinate to be so good at fighting! My hands are itching." Flying Dagger said with a smile. He knew that two of Zhang Gang and the others had completely lost their ability to fight. The other four were also seriously injured. Even if they could fight again, they would not pose much of a threat. Flying Dagger did not want his subordinates to suffer unnecessary casualties. After all, it was not easy for him to train these subordinates, so he decided to kill Xiao Tian and the others as soon as possible. In fact, Flying Dagger was also surprised that Xiao Tian could actually have so many experts accompanying him. He had not fought for a long time and also had the idea of competing.
Just as Xiao Tian was about to step forward, Li Dong stretched out his hand and stopped him, indicating that he should take over this match. Xiao Tian knew that ever since Li Dong's tongue was broken, he had focused more on improving his physical fitness and fighting skills. Even now, Xiao Tian couldn't tell what level Li Dong had reached. Looking at Li Dong's determined eyes, Xiao Tian nodded.
Li Dong walked out in front of the throwing knives from the previous Five Kills and looked at the throwing knives opposite him without fear.
Flying Dagger had noticed the person beside Xiao Tian from the beginning. He gave off an unfathomable feeling. If Zhang Gang and the others were in the light, he was in the dark. He was as dark as a shadow, especially when he was standing in the dark. No one could ignore him, but they could not ignore him. His intuition told Flying Dagger that the person in front of him was definitely the strongest among these people. His strength could not be underestimated, even though he had never seen Xiao Tian fight.
Flying Dagger carefully sized up the shadow-like person in front of him. His steps were steady, showing the steadiness of his lower body. Strong but not bloated muscles, one could tell that the body contained a powerful explosive force. Standing at the bow of the ship, his entire body was like an insurmountable mountain peak. What an amazing aura, Flying Dagger thought to himself. He quickly put away his contempt and focused on Li Dong in front of him.
The flying knife moved, and it was very fast. He knew that if he didn't move, the situation would be very disadvantageous to him. Assassins had to seize the opportunity to kill, and they had to act quickly. He noticed that Zhang Gang and the others were quickly recovering their strength. If he did not defeat this person in front of him, then tonight's assassination operation would end in failure, and the sky would soon be bright.
Following the throwing knife, Li Dong also made his move.
Although he was a latecomer, he was the first to arrive. Li Dong had relied on years of military training to develop good physical and psychological qualities. Even when facing a top-notch assassin in the martial arts world like throwing knives, he could still face them calmly. The two of them didn't use any fancy moves in their martial arts. They exchanged blows and used the most practical killing techniques. Any part of their body, including their fists, wrists, arms, shoulders, and elbows, had become deadly weapons in their battle. After more than twenty rounds, the two of them fought evenly. The more Flying Dagger hit, the more shocked he became. He did not expect Xiao Tian to give him more and more surprises. First, it was Zhang Gang and the others, and then it was this person in front of him. Li Dong, on the other hand, became more and more excited as he fought. The feeling of meeting an opponent made Li Dong, who had been an armed police officer, stimulate the potential in his body bit by bit.
After another twenty rounds, the throwing knife flew straight at Li Dong's face with a kick. Li Dong's head turned to the side as his leg brushed past his face. At this moment, the throwing knife bent down and shook its right hand. A cold light flew straight towards Li Dong's abdomen.
'Oh no, it's the two-inch silver saber in Flying Dagger's hand.' Zhang Gang, who was covering his wound, shouted in his heart. When it came to kung fu, Flying Knife's kung fu was considered to be above average among the top ten killers. However, what made him one of the top ten killers was the two-inch silver knife in his hand. The silver knife was about two inches long and as thin as a piece of paper. It could be hidden between two fingers and kill people under the blade. There was a saying in Jianghu that described this Flying Knife as " seeing the blade but not the blade, dripping blood floating on the blade ".
Li Dong saw the movement of the throwing knife's right hand and knew that it was his throwing knife. However, it was already too late when he saw the action of the knife. He saw the throwing knife go straight for Li Dong's abdomen like a bolt of lightning. Not good. Li Dong took a deep breath, and his abdomen sank in by half an inch. At the same time, he straightened his waist and saw the cold light fly up diagonally, sticking close to his abdomen. Li Dong suddenly felt a chill in his abdomen. He knew that although he had dodged the knife, he had already been injured by the blade. Reaching out, Li Dong felt a five-inch-long cut on his abdomen. The cut was almost half an inch deep, and blood immediately flowed out. Li Dong immediately tore off his clothes and wrapped them around his waist to stop the blood from flowing out. Even so, the blood still dripped onto the deck of the ship. Li Dong was in pain. He held his wound with his right hand and half-squatted on the ground. He tilted his head and looked at the flying knife with a sinister smile. Li Dong suddenly realized something and turned his head to look in the direction of the flying knife. It was Xiao Tian's chest. It turned out that the target was not Li Dong, but Xiao Tian, who was on the same line as Li Dong.
No one had expected the throwing knife to be so calculative. It injured Li Dong first. Just when everyone was not paying attention to Li Dong, the throwing knife did not slow down and went straight for Xiao Tian's heart.
At this moment, although Zhang Gang was beside Xiao Tian, it was definitely too late to get up. The only one standing beside Xiao Tian was Xiaolong. Even Li Dong was injured by the silver knife. No one dared to expect Xiaolong to block the silver knife that was not inferior to the attack power of bullets. Zhang Gang could only shout," Tian 'ge, be careful of the knife!”
The silver flying knife streaked across the night like a shooting star. Even the sound of the waves could not stop its whistling. Looking at the small silver flying knife flying towards Xiao Tian, Flying Knife sneered in his heart. Xiao Tian, you're dead. No one can escape my flying knife.
It was not that Xiao Tian did not notice the movement of the throwing knife's right hand, but when the silver knife's blade injured Li Dong, no one expected the silver knife to charge straight at him without slowing down. There was no time to think, and his body could not react in such a short time. Therefore, Xiao Tian could only watch as the flying knife flew towards his chest. At that moment, Xiao Tian felt the threat of death for the first time. He felt the taste of death, especially as he watched the flying knife become more and more real. The aura of death became stronger and stronger.
Suddenly, Xiao Tian felt time stop because he clearly saw the silver flying knife stop in front of his chest.
Had time really stopped? Of course not!
The thing that was still was the small silver flying knife that was flashing with a faint cold light.
Would the throwing knives stop? Of course not.
So something must have stopped it from moving forward. Xiao Tian looked and saw that it was two fingers that stopped the flying knife. It was the index finger and middle finger of the little dragon beside him that firmly clamped the silver knife that was as thin as paper.
"Crackle!" The silver knife slipped from the little dragon's fingers and landed on the deck of the passenger ship with a crisp sound. Blood dripped from the two fingers of the dragon's right hand. The dragon covered his right hand with sweat.
Even though the little dragon stopped the flying knife from moving forward, it was still too fast. The silver knife still grazed the skin on Xiao Tian's chest, so it was fine.
Everyone, including Xiao Tian and the Flying Dagger who was staring at the Dragon in shock, could not believe what they were seeing. Since someone could use two fingers to catch the two-inch silver knife of the Flying Dagger of the Top Ten Assassins, which shot out as fast as a meteor, they were shocked. Time stopped at that moment. Other than the roaring of the waves, the entire deck was silent. Immediately, Zhang Gang and his brothers shouted,"Xiaolong, good job!"”This was the first time the brothers had seen the little dragon fight, but it was also the most unforgettable fight in their lives. If it wasn't for the little dragon's silver knife, Xiao Tian would not have seen the sun tomorrow.
It was too terrifying. Someone could actually use two fingers to clamp my silver knife. Flying Knife suddenly felt like he was fighting a group of demons.
Flying Dagger flew into a rage out of humiliation and shouted,"Xiao Tian, you're the first and the last!"”Everyone understood what Flying Dagger meant. Xiao Tian was the first person to escape from his flying daggers, but he was also the last.
Zhang Gang knew that the Five Kills Flying Dagger only had one silver saber. Could it be that he still had flying daggers? Zhang Gang suddenly had a hunch that his guess was right, because he had already seen a silver flying knife in each of Flying Knife's hands.
There was only one throwing knife? Of course not. There were three in total. However, no one could escape the first throwing knife, so there was no need to use the other two.
The throwing knives shook their hands, and two silver knives flew past Li Dong, who was kneeling on the ground, and flew toward Xiao Tian again. No one expected the flying knife to come after them. It was still too fast. Xiao Tian calculated that even if he dodged one silver knife, he would not be able to dodge the other. At this time, he could no longer count on the injured Dragon. Everyone looked at the two throwing knives that were flying toward Xiao Tian in despair. Everyone knew that Xiao Tian would not be as lucky as the first time.
Xiao Tian was just about to turn around and dodge the silver knife that was about to fly over when he saw a red figure flash past his eyes.”Two silver sabers fell, and a few long strands of hair floated down…A fiery figure floated in front of Xiao Tian. This person was wearing tight red clothes and was kneeling on one knee on the deck with her right hand on the ground. Her head was slightly lowered, and her waterfall-like hair was scattered on both sides of her shoulders. It was obvious that she was a woman.
No one knew who this woman was because she was half-kneeling on the deck and her hair was covering her face. After a while, she slowly raised her head, her hair naturally parted on both sides, and her sharp eyes looked at the doubting Flying Knife in front of her. Flying Dagger did not understand why someone had blocked his flying daggers again and again tonight. Was it because his era had passed, or was there a new batch of rookies in the game? There were too many experts around Xiao Tian. When Flying Dagger's eyes met her gaze, he could not help but take half a step back from the unprecedented murderous look in her eyes. Flying Dagger's heart trembled violently. What a powerful gaze. He felt that this gaze was like a sharp blade that shot into his heart. No one could force him to take half a step back just by looking at him. Flying Dagger suddenly felt like he was about to be exterminated.
When the kneeling woman raised her head, Zhang Gang, Xiaolong, Xiaohu, and the three King Kong warriors all said in unison,"Feng 'er."”
That's right, the woman kneeling on the ground was Miss Feng 'er, who had been with them these days.
Everyone, except Xiao Tian and the injured Li Dong, revealed an incredulous expression. There were too many surprises for them tonight. First, the little dragon's finger clamped the silver knife, and then Feng 'er's falling from the sky to strike down the two knives. Only Xiao Tian's face did not have any expression of surprise, as if it was only natural. However, Feng 'er's performance was still far beyond Xiao Tian and Li Dong's expectations. Li Dong knew that the battle between Feng 'er and the throwing knife was about to begin, so he endured the pain and returned to Xiao Tian's side with his injured abdomen. Xiao Tian reached out his hands to help Li Dong sit on the deck.
Now, the only people standing on the deck of the passenger ship were Xiao Tian, Feng 'er, and Flying Dagger.
At this moment, Flying Dagger's expression was unprecedentedly solemn. The pressure that Feng 'er gave him was too great. He had already finished shooting his silver saber. Flying Dagger clenched his fists and was on full alert. Feng 'er was still kneeling on one knee, looking at the flying knife expressionlessly.
"Who are you? He could actually shoot down two of my throwing knives.”Flying Dagger could not stand this extremely oppressive feeling and could not help but ask. Although he tried his best to hide the panic in his heart, everyone could feel the fear in Flying Dagger's heart from the trembling of his tone. Feng 'er concentrated all her killing intent in her eyes. At this moment, Feng' er's gaze was no less than an invisible sharp blade. Just this gaze alone was enough to make the flying knife tremble in fear.
"The phoenix spreads its wings and soars to the nine heavens.”Feng 'er said without any expression. The last word was like a ball of red flame that pounced on the flying knife that was filled with fear.
After hearing Feng 'er's words, Zhang Gang turned pale with fright and said in a trembling voice," Could she be..."
The flying knife saw Feng 'er rushing over like a ball of fire and instantly drowned him. Time stopped, and the waves seemed to have lost their roaring energy. Feng 'er stood behind the flying knife expressionlessly, her head hanging low. A gust of sea breeze blew her hair into the air, like a flame in a raging fire.
Flying Dagger felt that he did not even have the chance to attack. When he heard Feng 'er's two lines of poetry, he had already lost the courage to fight because he knew that he was not worthy of attacking in front of her. After the flames subsided, Flying Dagger suddenly felt a chill on his neck. The blood that was constantly seeping out of his neck fell to the ground drop by drop.
" You…You are…Fire Phoenix!" The throwing knife covered his neck with both hands and fell to the ground with a plop. He immediately lost his vitality. No one saw how Feng 'er attacked, nor did anyone see what weapon the flying knife died to. They only felt a red shadow fly past and the flying knife fell to the ground.
On the deck of a passenger ship that was already dyed red with blood, a woman in red clothes stood at the bow of the ship, facing the sea breeze. Her long hair was fluttering behind her, dancing in the wind.
She was ranked second among the top ten assassins in the martial arts world??- Fire Phoenix, a phoenix bathed in fire.
Flying Knife should have died without regrets because the person who killed him was the Fire Phoenix. When he heard Flying Dagger's last sentence, everyone, including Xiao Tian, could not help but be shocked. It turned out that the person who had been traveling with them was actually Fire Phoenix, who was ranked second among the top ten assassins. " This kind of unimaginable scene can only appear in movies," Xiao Tian thought to himself with a bitter smile. However, Xiao Tian was certain that the Fire Phoenix had no hostility towards him. It could even be said that it had been protecting his safety. Otherwise, she would have had countless chances to kill Xiao Tian. Even if she did, she believed that no one here could stop her from killing the flying knife. However, Xiao Tian did not know why the Fire Phoenix had been following him and even wanted to save him.
Xiao Tian knew that there was no free lunch in this world. The Fire Phoenix must have her reasons for saving them. It was just that he did not know it now.
"Are you worthy of me attacking?" Feng 'er said without looking back.
This sentence was not said to Xiao Tian's brothers, but to the remaining ten or so people in white who were holding knives.
The man in white was a human, not a machine. However, as long as he was a human, he should know the horror of death. Ever since they saw the way Fire Phoenix killed the flying knife, everyone knew that this beautiful woman in front of them was someone they did not dare to offend. Although there were many of them, no one dared to attack her.
All the men in white threw away the knives in their hands and turned around to jump into the sea. Feng 'er's terror made them feel that they would rather jump into Wang Yang's sea than face the Fire Phoenix in front of them. There was still a chance to survive if he jumped into the sea, but he would definitely die if he faced the Fire Phoenix.
In the blink of an eye, all the men in white, except those who couldn't stand up, had jumped into the sea and were instantly swallowed by the waves. 'God knows how many of them will come ashore alive,' Zhang Gangzhong and his brother thought.
Now, everyone was looking at the Fire Phoenix with its back to them, as if they were waiting for an answer, an answer that the Fire Phoenix would give everyone.
Suddenly, Fire Phoenix turned around and used her signature sweet smile to Xiao Tian and the others." Big brother, why didn't you call me when you came out to play?”As he spoke, he walked towards Xiao Tian.
Zhang Gang, the three Vajras, and the others who were about to stand up almost fell to the ground when they heard Fire Phoenix's words. Was this called coming out to play?! So many people died and you call it playing? The Fire Phoenix's face-changing skills were as good as her skills. Just a moment ago, she was still a face that everyone feared. In the blink of an eye, she had turned into a face that everyone loved. There was really nothing she could do.
The Fire Phoenix came to Xiao Tian and looked at his puzzled eyes. She said seriously," Tian 'ge, Feng' er is Scar Nan's sister. Feng 'er thanks you for taking care of my brother's funeral and not letting him leave his corpse in the wilderness. Therefore, Feng' er is willing to follow my brother."”
"What is it? You're Brother Chennan's sister, Xiao Feng, who was separated from him more than ten years ago?”The little dragon said in surprise. Among all of them, the little dragon knew the most about Dao Ba Nan.
Fire Phoenix nodded and continued," I asked around for a long time before I found out that my brother was locked up in the prison in the north of the city. I wanted to visit him, but I heard that my brother had died of cancer." However, the news from the prison in the north of the city said that Tian Ge had gathered all the prisoners in the prison in the north of the city to send Big Brother away and had properly arranged for his funeral. Then, I heard that Tian Ge had escaped from prison and someone had offered a reward of one million for your head. I happened to be in the small town where you were hiding, so I designed a scam to follow Big Brother. I wanted to protect you secretly, but I couldn't do anything tonight, so…
Are you really Brother Chennan's sister?" Xiao Tian asked. Fire Phoenix nodded.
"Are you really Fire Phoenix, ranked second among the top ten assassins?”Xiao Tian's eyes suddenly flashed with a mocking gaze, but the Fire Phoenix still nodded.
"I don't believe it!" Xiao Tian suddenly said. None of the brothers knew what he was up to.
"Why?" Fire Phoenix cried out. Obviously, Xiao Tian's acknowledgment was very important to her.
"It's easy for me to believe you. Then tell me how you killed the throwing knife. I didn't see it clearly!" As Xiao Tian spoke, he burst out laughing. Xiao Tian thought to himself, It seems that I'm really not suitable to lie!
"Oh! This is it." The Fire Phoenix seemed to be very happy because he could already hear from Xiao Tian's tone that Xiao Tian believed her words. She reached out and combed through a lock of hair.”
"Ah! Hair! Hair can kill!" Everyone present exclaimed.
Xiao Tian looked at the Fire Phoenix with a puzzled gaze, but the Fire Phoenix had an indifferent expression. Xiao Tian walked over to Flying Knife's corpse and flipped it over. Sure enough, there were a few strands of blood-shot hair on his neck.
It was too scary. Hair could also be used as a weapon to kill. If Xiao Tian had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that there was such a method of killing even if someone had beaten him to death. This was not a special effect scene in a movie. No one was the main character in the movie. Who would have thought that such a delicate little girl was the best assassin in the martial arts world? She did not need to bring any weapons at all. Her weapon was her waterfall-like hair. Who could guard against her? Fortunately, she was Dao Ba Nan's sister. Otherwise, Xiao Tian would be lying on the cold deck like a flying knife.
"Feng 'er, you saved me and all our brothers today. How do you want us to thank you?”Xiao Tian turned around and smiled at the Fire Phoenix, even though he knew that the Fire Phoenix would not ask him to give her anything.
"Then can I have anything I want?”Fire Phoenix asked innocently.
Xiao Tian nodded. He liked the Fire Phoenix's current appearance very much, even though he knew that she was the one who killed the flying knife in one move.
"Then I want the full set of Tom and Jerry cartoons!”Fire Phoenix said loudly.
Zhang Gang and his brothers fainted immediately. Xiao Tian looked at the Fire Phoenix and shook his head helplessly, smiling bitterly.
It should be dawn soon. It was another sleepless night. Xiao Tian knew that there might be more sleepless nights like this waiting for him in the future. Xiao Tian looked at the sky. There was a faint sound of thunder. It seemed that there was going to be a storm.
Xiao Tian immediately ordered Zhang Gang and the others to help the injured brothers into the cabin to find the infirmary to treat their injuries. At the same time, he asked Zhang Qiang to look for the tourists on the passenger ship. Xiao Tian guessed that they were locked up somewhere on the ship by Knife Gang.
The brothers agreed and quickly helped each other into the cabin. Only the flying knives and the corpses of more than ten men in white were left on the deck. Soon, it rained heavily and the rain washed away the blood stains on the deck. It also indicated that Xiao Tian had survived the first assassination attempt in his life without any danger...... June 6th, 1999, noon, sunny weather, Shanghai dock.
A passenger ship slowly docked at the Shanghai dock. The passengers on the passenger ship slowly walked down the ship ladder. Those who were careful would see that the faces of the disembarking passengers were more or less pale and haggard. The fear and uneasiness in their eyes indicated that something had happened during the journey. However, the last ten passengers who got off the ladder looked relaxed. Other than a few who looked a little pale, the others started to point and talk about Shanghai's customs. The leader was a young man who looked to be in his twenties. He was dressed in a black suit. His handsome and dignified face made people feel that he was very close but very far away. Beside him was a girl who looked to be in her twenties and was wearing a tight red dress. She had a proud expression on her face and her curvaceous figure made the men who walked past her feel their blood boil. There were eight or nine people in suits behind him. They looked like a business delegation, but when they walked in, they all had murderous expressions on their faces. When the 10-odd passenger ships arrived at the hall of the dock, the temperature in the hall dropped sharply. Although the hall was very crowded, all the passengers who passed by them tried to avoid them.
"Didn't I tell you to learn to smile?”The leading young man turned around and told the people behind him.
"Yes, I am. Boss, I've already learned to smile.”One of them replied, forcing a smile.
"Alright! Forget it, your smile is uglier than crying!”The leader said unhappily.
Hearing his words, the people behind him immediately burst into laughter. The people passing by immediately felt the pressure in the hall relax, and their expressions were a little more natural than before.
After the leader saw this, he shook his head helplessly. He thought to himself,'These people don't look like the crown prince even if they wear dragon robes.' He led the crowd to the gate.
These ten people were Xiao Tian's group. After returning to the cabin last night, Xiao Tian immediately got someone to bring medicine and gauze from the infirmary of the passenger ship to bandage the wounds of the injured brothers, especially Li Dong, Xiao Hu, and Wang Sen. The others were not seriously injured after applying some medicine. Zhang Gang and the others began to search every corner of the ship for other tourists. Finally, they found more than a hundred other passengers in a warehouse three floors below the deck of the passenger ship. However, all of them seemed to have taken knockout drugs, including the captain and other passenger ship service staff. Zhang Gang immediately reported the situation to Xiao Tian. Xiao Tian thought about it carefully and asked Xiao Hu to disguise himself as a plainclothes policeman and pretend that he was injured after subduing the criminals. In fact, Xiao Hu did not need to pretend at all. The wounds all over his body could make people not suspect him at all. Then, he asked Little Tiger to go to the third floor and rescue everyone. After all, Xiao Tian and the others could not be exposed. The only person who could come forward was Liu Zihu. Xiao Tian told Xiaohu a set of words to deal with the captain and others. He tried to give the credit for subduing the criminals to the security guards of the passenger ship so that they could get away.
The development after that was logical. Liu Zihu bravely saved everyone on the ship, but he was willing to be the behind-the-scenes hero and give all the credit to the security guards of the passenger ship. The captain and all the security guards were more willing to accept it after modesty. In this way, they could reasonably and legally hide the assassination of Xiao Tian and arrive in Shanghai safely. As for how Liu Zihu subdued these fierce criminals, everyone on the ship did not think about it. After all, the people's public security was for the people.
Just as Xiao Tian had expected, after leaving the province, the checks in other provinces and cities were not as strict. Xiao Tian and the others easily left the dock and arrived at the bustling Shanghai street.
Shanghai was one of the most famous cities in the modern history of China. It could be said that the history of Shanghai's development was a microcosm of the development of Chinese society. In the old days of China, Shanghai was the economic and cultural center of the entire country. Decades later, there was no doubt that Shanghai was now the economic center of China. Now, Shanghai was filled with high-rise buildings. Almost all of the world's well-known companies had set up branches in Shanghai, firmly establishing Shanghai's position as the economic center of China.
However, in this world, there was right and there was wrong. There was white and there was black. Shanghai's gangs had grown up with its economy. After decades of development, Shanghai's underworld forces had gone from the ground to the underground. They had bid farewell to fighting and killing and were gradually integrating into all aspects of social and economic life. It was not that the Shanghai mafia was gone, but it had changed. Perhaps a wealthy merchant on the street was the big brother of a gang. Unless they had no other choice, gangs would never fight with each other. In the tide of the economy, everyone understood the principle of looking at money. The power of the economy cleverly maintained the balance in the hearts of the gangs.
Since they could coexist peacefully, why did they have to fight and kill? The people in the underworld had their own rules of survival. It was white on the outside, but it could be black on the inside. The white ones were for the police to see. What was on the table was reasonable and legal. What was not on the table was an important source of income for the underworld. Therefore, there were very few gangs that did not smuggle, sell drugs, collect protection fees, or dabble in prostitution, gambling, and drugs. Unless the boss of the gang was someone like Bill Gates, where else would they get such a huge amount of money to feed their thousands of subordinates? However, there were only a few Bill Gates in the world, and there was only one in the United States. Therefore, all the gangs in the world were labeled as smuggling, drug trafficking, gambling, and drugs.
If there were no triads, what was the point of having the police? Everything in the world was complementary. Some people entered the underworld willingly, while others entered the underworld because they had no choice.
Xiao Tian, who was sitting in a taxi, was such a person. He did not want his future empire to be marked with a unique underworld label. He wanted to establish a new order in the underground kingdom, a new order in the underworld. In today's society, illegal underworld organizations could not survive for long. Some could be rampant for a while, some could be arrogant for a few years, but there was definitely no gang that could live freely for a lifetime. In China, one should never underestimate the social order established by the party. One could obey this order, or caress it, but one could never break it. If the Chinese government could drive five million soldiers from the mainland to Taiwan, would it care about a small underworld organization?
The answer was, of course, no.
The underground kingdom that Xiao Tian wanted to establish would be a brand new underworld organization. You could say that I was a triad, but you could not say that I was breaking the law. I wanted to break the law reasonably and legally, kill people, and eliminate my enemies. All of these were the problems that Xiao Tian had been thinking about since he walked out of the North City Prison. When Xiao Tian took a taxi to the bustling streets of Shanghai and saw all kinds of office buildings, hotels, and high-end residential buildings, he was even more determined.
Xiao Tian, who was sitting in the back row, looked at the driver in front and said," Driver, which hotel in Shanghai is the best?”
"Speaking of hotels! There were hundreds of high-class hotels in Shanghai, but recently, a new Grand Hyatt Jinmao Hotel opened on the top floor of Jinmao Tower. It was a five-star hotel! Due to the new opening, all houses are now 40% off!”the driver said proudly.
"Oh! Gold Trade Building!" Xiao Tian muttered to himself. He had studied economics in school and had long known that the Jinmao Commercial Building in Shanghai was the tallest building in China. It was occupied by internationally renowned companies. He heard that the price per square meter was calculated in US dollars.
Shanghai had always been Xiao Tian's dream place. Since he wanted to use the best in Shanghai, he decided to stay at the Grand Hyatt Hotel.
At the thought of this, he immediately told the driver to drive to the Grand Hyatt Hotel. The taxis that the brothers took followed closely behind.
Grand Hyatt Shanghai, the tallest hotel in the world, stood on the streets of Shanghai. It was located in the emerging economic development zone---the "tallest building in China" in the center of the Lujiazui Financial and Trade Zone in Shanghai. It was located at the top of the 88-story Jinmao Tower. The hotel's decoration was very unique. Modern art was integrated with the traditional culture of China. The hotel has a total of 555 luxurious rooms, luxurious and beautiful, the largest area in Shanghai, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Shanghai.
In front of the Jinmao Tower in Shanghai's Pu Dong District.
The doorman saw three taxis standing steadily in front of the door. The doors of the three cars opened at the same time, and ten people got out. Other than a lady in red, the rest were men in dark suits. Other than the leader who looked like a cultured person, the rest of them were wearing suits. No matter how they looked, they looked like thugs with fierce expressions.
The doorman quickly reached out to stop him and said,"Boss, you're-"
Just as he was about to lead his brothers through the door, he was suddenly stopped by a doorman. Xiao Tian's face immediately revealed a displeased expression.
Wang Sen quickly went forward and said to the doorman,"I heard that there's a new hotel up there. We want to stay in the hotel."”
"The building has a rule that men need to wear a suit and tie to enter, but you-? "And you look like-" The doorman suddenly felt the two sharp eyes of the leader shooting at him. He was so stunned that he did not dare to say the words "underworld".
"What are we like? Like the underworld?" Xiao Tian narrowed his eyes and said," That's right, we're gangsters! We just want to stay in the hotel today. Why can't we?”
"But the hotel has rules…" the doorman said timidly.
"Those are your rules, your rules. But now, my words are the rules! Let's go!" Xiao Tian said coldly.
With that, he walked towards the lobby of the building.
The doorman was pushed aside by Wang Sen. Yang Ming, who was following behind, pointed at the doorman's forehead with his eyes wide open, meaning to be careful.
The doorman was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and stood at the entrance of the building in a daze.
Xiao Tianyi walked into the lobby of the Jinmao Building and took the elevator to the top of the Jinmao Building to the newly opened Jinmao Grand Hyatt Hotel.
As soon as Xiao Tian and the others stepped out of the elevator, the entire hotel lobby suddenly opened up. It was elegant and magnificent. It was indeed a five-star hotel! 'If it was me in the past, I might not be able to enter this place in my entire life.' Xiao Tian sighed in his heart. Not to mention Xiao Tian, Zhang Gang, the three Guardian Deities, and the others were even more shocked by the luxury of the hotel. The ancient books said that the palace was grand and elegant, so it was probably just so.
Everyone came to the hotel's front desk and saw the price tag of the room. It was even more shocking. The price of a Grand Hyatt room was 3073 yuan per day, and a Grand Hyatt luxury room was 3505 yuan per day. The most ridiculous thing was that the VIP suite was priced at 4766 yuan per day. This was the style of a five-star hotel. Xiao Tian thought to himself that even the lowest room here was only enough for one day.
Xiao Tian looked at the price of all the rooms and asked for five Grand Hyatt's luxury view rooms (double). The price was 3649 yuan per day. After 40% discount, it was 2189 yuan per day. The five rooms cost more than 10,000 yuan per day. The waitress at the bar was surprised to see such a handsome young man book five luxury rooms at once. She was even more attracted by Xiao Tian's masculine face. She wished that the check-in procedures would be more troublesome so that she could take a look at it for a while.
When the brothers saw Xiao Tian's action, they thought that in this life, only with their boss could they stay in such a good five-star hotel.
Xiao Tianbian asked,"Are you satisfied?"”
The brothers nodded their heads in satisfaction.
"Humph! You guys are too easily satisfied. In less than three years, I will open a five-star hotel in Shanghai. At that time, you can stay there as long as you want. "Haha," Xiao Tian said.
The waiter at the bar counter thought that the young man in front of him must be joking. He thought that opening a five-star hotel was like opening a roadside inn. However, none of the brothers doubted Xiao Tian's words at all. As long as Xiao Tian's words were the truth, then it must exist. Therefore, when Xiao Tian said that he would open a five-star hotel in Shanghai within three years, he would definitely be able to open it.
There were five rooms. Since Feng 'er was a woman, she could occupy a luxurious room alone. Xiao Tian gave Feng' er the best room facing the Huangpu River. Feng 'er was so happy that she shouted long live. Of the remaining four rooms, Xiao Tian and Li Dong stayed in one, Zhang Gang and Wang Sen stayed in another, and the Dragon Tiger Brothers stayed in the other. The remaining room could only be filled with an extra bed, which made the three Kings extremely happy.
Just like that, the fugitives who had escaped from the prison in the north of the city were staying in the most luxurious five-star hotel on the tallest building in China. Xiao Tian thought that even the FBI would not be able to imagine it. Although it was a little expensive, Xiao Tian thought it was worth it.
If a person wanted to live with dignity, they had to change their lifestyle first.
If a person wanted to be respected by others, he must first have a reason to be respected by others.
That was what Xiao Tian thought and did. Staying at the Grand Hyatt Hotel was the first step to realizing his dream.
In a luxurious room at the Grand Hyatt Hotel on the top floor of the Golden Trade Building, Xiao Tian stood by the huge French window in the room. He looked out of the window and saw the most prosperous financial district in Shanghai, the Lujiazui Financial and Trade District. Behind Xiao Tian stood his brothers, including Fire Phoenix. They stood on the tallest building in Shanghai and looked down at the entire Lujiazui Financial District. All the high-rise buildings were like small matchboxes, and the pedestrians on the street were like dust in the air. Everything was so small in Xiao Tian's eyes. All of a sudden, Xiao Tian felt as if he was the only sovereign in the world. He was so touched that he wanted to cry, and he wanted to shout out all the lofty aspirations in his heart.
"I like this feeling!" Xiao Tian pointed out the window.
The brothers did not know what Xiao Tian was referring to, so they did not say anything and just stood quietly behind Xiao Tian. To them, they didn't think as much as Xiao Tian, but they knew that only Xiao Tian could make them submit and be worthy of their pursuit.
Xiao Tian knew that no matter how much he said, they would not understand how he felt.
"All of you should go and rest. Remember, you are not allowed to leave the hotel without my permission.”Xiao Tian ordered.
"Yes." Everyone agreed.
The night view of Shanghai's Bund was the most beautiful. The bustling riverside and the neon red reflected by the skyscrapers were like the vast starry sky in the night sky, making it difficult to tell if one was in the sky or on the ground.
A man in black leaned against the railing and looked into the distance. His thoughts seemed to be completely immersed in the dreamy night, blending into the night. A beautiful woman in red stood behind him. She looked very relaxed, but the cold light that flashed from the corner of her eyes from time to time was monitoring all suspicious people within a ten-meter radius of the man in front of her.
These two people were Xiao Tian and Fire Phoenix.
After Xiao Tian arranged for his brothers to rest, he brought Fire Phoenix out of the Gold Trade Building and came to the Bund in Shanghai. Xiao Tian was not too worried about his safety. Firstly, very few people could recognize him now. Secondly, he had the Fire Phoenix by his side. With the protection of the second-ranked assassin in the martial arts world, his safety should not be a problem. Even if he encountered an emergency, he should be confident that he could retreat safely.
It was a rare moment of silence, so Xiao Tian focused all his attention on the beautiful scenery of the Bund.
There was a rich nightclub near the Bund, and people would come and go from time to time.
After a while, five or six people came out of the nightclub. The leader was a young man with a pale face and a yellowish complexion. He looked like he had been drinking too much. The five or six people walked unsteadily towards the Bund, talking about the affairs of the night club as they walked. Lust and laughter came out of their mouths from time to time. As a result, the tourists who came to the Bund to watch the scenery avoided them and walked around them with disgust. A few of the thugs who looked like lackeys teased the beautiful women passing by from time to time, as if this was their purpose for coming to the Bund.
As the five or six people talked, they walked towards Xiao Tian. The Fire Phoenix behind them had already noticed this group of people. Seeing that they were just a bunch of good-for-nothings who were eating, drinking, and having fun, he did not pay too much attention to them.
"Third Young Master, look, the girl in red over there is so beautiful!”One of them pointed at the fire phoenix behind Xiao Tian and said to the young man leading the group.
"Oh! Was that so? " Let me see…" The young man in the lead looked in the direction of his finger and saw a woman in red. She had long hair and a hot figure. Her angelic appearance would make any man's heart race. When the man in the lead saw this, his saliva almost flowed down the corner of his mouth. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart. This was a national beauty. The women among the rich were all f * cking mediocre. As he thought about it, the group of people walked towards the Fire Phoenix with obscene looks on their faces. They did not notice the existence of Xiao Tian in front of the Fire Phoenix at all.
"Beauty! Turn around and let me take a look!" The leading young man said with a smile.
A few thugs even cursed and chased away the passersby and tourists who passed by them. They surrounded Xiao Tian and the other man in the middle. They all put their hands in their hands and looked at the leading man teasing the Fire Phoenix as if they were already used to it.
Xiao Tian still did not seem to notice what was happening behind him. When the Fire Phoenix heard the leader's words, she lowered her head and glanced at him from the corner of her eyes. When the leading man saw the Fire Phoenix's gaze, he immediately felt as if a cold current had struck him from head to toe. In an instant, the smile on his face froze.
The leader was not stupid. His intuition told him that the woman in front of him was not someone he could afford to offend. At this time, he noticed Xiao Tian, who was leaning on the railing and looking into the distance. He wondered why he did not notice this person just now. However, when the young man in the lead saw his side, he thought to himself that there were five or six people on his side, so he was instantly filled with confidence.
"What are these people doing?" Xiao Tian asked without turning his head.
Fire Phoenix's face turned serious as she respectfully replied," Brother Tian, it's just a few children who no one cares about coming out to cause trouble!”Although the Fire Phoenix was an obedient girl in front of her brothers, she had an unusually serious appearance when she was outside. This made Xiao Tian admire her very much. After all, there were not many people who could really do this.
"B * tch, what are you talking about? Do you know who we are?”The thugs surrounding them roared loudly.
………
"What a wonderful night! How disappointing!" Xiao Tian said.
"Got it, Brother Tian!" The phoenix agreed.
Then, the thugs around them felt a red flash in front of their eyes, followed by a sharp pain in a certain part of their bodies. Then, they fell to the ground with a cry, except for the young leader who stood dumbfounded.
The young man in the lead knew that although his subordinates were not very good at martial arts, they would not be beaten to the ground by this woman almost at the same time without any strength to fight back. Were they really like children in front of her?
After dealing with the thugs, Fire Phoenix walked towards the young man who was leading the group. The young man who was leading the group said in fear," What…what do you want? Do you know who I am?"
The Fire Phoenix's performance just now had clearly caused a great shock to his heart.
"Do you think I'm beautiful?" Fire Phoenix asked with a charming smile. Then, she stretched out her hand and gently stroked the face of the leader. Then, she said to him sinisterly,"Take your people and get lost immediately!"”
The young man in the lead felt a chill on the left side of his face. He reached out and touched it. The left side of his face was already a bloody mess. Immediately, a wave of intense pain surged into his heart. He could not help but scream and squat on the ground.
A few of his subordinates scrambled to their feet and supported the injured young leader. They kept saying," Third Young Master, Third Young Master, how are you?”
"Hurry up and leave!" The leading young man shouted.
"Let's go! " Just you wait. You dare to provoke our Third Young Master? You don't want to live anymore…" As the voice gradually faded away, a few people supported the injured young man and walked towards the street.
The crowd that had been watching from afar gradually dispersed when they saw this group of people leave. Xiao Tian said," Let's go!" Xiao Tian heard the last words of those people. Although he was not worried that these people would take revenge, in the current situation, they really should not cause too much trouble. Therefore, he wanted to take the Fire Phoenix and leave this place as soon as possible.
Just as Xiao Tian and his wife were about to call a taxi back to the hotel, they saw seven cars driving past them. The leader was a Mercedes-Benz, and the seven cars stopped more than ten meters in front of Xiao Tian. Then, about 20 people got out of the car and walked towards him and Fire Phoenix. The leader was a young man in his late twenties. He was wearing a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses. He looked like a university teacher. The young man who had been injured by the Fire Phoenix just now was covering his left face with a handkerchief. He looked very painful and pointed at Xiao Tian from time to time, saying something angrily.
Xiao Tian looked at this group of unfriendly people walking towards him and the Fire Phoenix. He shook his head helplessly and said," Feng 'er, it seems that you've caused trouble!”
The Fire Phoenix snorted coldly and looked disapprovingly at this group of people walking towards them.
Strangely, the originally bustling street seemed to only have Xiao Tian and the group of unfriendly people in front of them. All the pedestrians and tourists were gone, and not even a single car passed by. Xiao Tian looked up. It turned out that someone was nervously maintaining order. It seemed that they were in cahoots with the eye in front of him. However, they seemed to have a powerful background. Otherwise, the street in front of the Bund in Shanghai would not be sealed off by just anyone. Xiao Tian guessed in his heart.
Xiao Tian did not want to cause trouble, but since he had caused trouble, he was never afraid of trouble. Therefore, he stood with his hands behind his back and watched the person slowly walking towards him.
The night was getting darker, and the neon lights on the roadside were brighter. The flickering lights shone on Xiao Tian's resolute face from time to time. Suddenly, Xiao Tian's lips curled into a smile. It was a proud expression. Even though all the signs indicated that Xiao Tian might be in an even bigger crisis, Xiao Tian felt that this feeling was really good.
Because it felt really good to be valued by others, even if this feeling might come from your enemies.
At the thought of this, Xiao Tian's expression suddenly changed. He became even more determined and confident. Following that, he emitted a powerful and confident aura. It was a feeling that could make tens of thousands of people submit. The Fire Phoenix standing behind him could indirectly feel the powerful and confident aura from Xiao Tian. As Xiao Tian's aura soared, the Fire Phoenix's soft killing intent rose again. This time, it had a qualitative leap, allowing the Fire Phoenix to break through the bottleneck of her own development for a long time and experience another realm that she had never reached before.
Black was a dragon, red was a phoenix. The dragon soared into the nine heavens, and the phoenix soared into the clouds.
