Chapter 95 Water Monkey
Qin Chuan sensed something was wrong.
Even if this Taoist priest was carefree, he wouldn't have gone to the river to relieve himself while the two sides were negotiating and on the verge of war.
Qin Chuan stared at the Taoist priest's back, looking him up and down several times, but he couldn't find anything wrong with it. He just stood there, relaxed, as if he really couldn't hold it in anymore and was going to relieve himself.
But then, out of the corner of his eye, Qin Chuan suddenly noticed that the dense reeds not far away seemed to have moved.
He looked around; there was no wind and no boats passing by. Just then, the reeds changed again. Some of them suddenly tilted to one side and then bounced back, as if something had squeezed through from underneath.
Qin Chuan immediately realized that there was something inside the reeds.
Or rather, there's something underwater.
The thing underwater drifted silently to the water near Hu Daoren's feet, transforming into a dark underwater figure.
Looking at the dark figure in front of him, Hu Daoren showed no sign of panic. Instead, he took out a blood-red pill from his sleeve and threw it down.
The moment the pill fell into the water, the thing underwater also floated to the surface, revealing its true form.
It turned out to be a strange-looking water monkey.
This creature was about ten feet long, covered in short, grayish-black hair. It had a pointed, flat head, a protruding mouth that revealed two rows of fine, sharp, jagged fangs.
Its limbs are slender with webbed toes, but its claws are very sharp, easily scratching the nearby stones with considerable marks.
What's most terrifying are its eyes. There are no whites in its eyes; the entire eyeball is a cloudy, dark yellow, and the pupil is just a thin slit, staring intently at Hu Daoren.
Seeing the water monkey swallow the pill, Hu Daoren made a hand seal, then moved his lips a few times and pointed his finger in the direction where Ma Yanwang and the others were negotiating.
Having obtained the magic spell, the water monkey shrank its body and silently disappeared into the water.
He then hid under the wooden planks of the dock and swam towards the direction where Ma Yanwang and the others were.
After doing all this, Hu Daoren acted as if nothing had happened, pulled up his pants, and slowly walked back.
When Qin Chuan saw the person return, he quickly turned his gaze away. Because of the distance and the fact that the thing was underwater, he couldn't see clearly what it was. But judging from the current situation, it seemed that things wouldn't end well today.
Qin Chuan also moved two more steps into the crowd without making a sound, further away from the riverbank.
Negotiations at the front are still ongoing.
Ma Yanwang and Heixinhu stood facing each other a few steps apart, neither of them with a pleasant expression.
Neither side was willing to back down, after all, the dock was a major source of income for the gangs every month, so how could they possibly give it up?
After all this talk, it's just a formality; nobody really expected to get anything out of it.
King Ma's gaze shifted slightly, catching a glimpse of the returning Taoist Hu.
Hu Daoren met his gaze and nodded very quickly.
"Black-hearted Tiger," King Ma suddenly spoke, his tone warmer than before, as if he had finally figured something out, "how about that condition you mentioned earlier..."
As he spoke, he took two steps forward, as if he wanted to get closer for a more detailed discussion.
The next moment, King Yama made his move.
Although he looked like a frustrated scholar, thin and with a somewhat scholarly appearance, he was incredibly ruthless when he made his move.
Before he finished speaking, he had already rushed in front of Blackheart Tiger in an instant. His figure was like a ghost, his five fingers were like claws, and with a sharp wind, he grabbed down hard at the shiny bald head.
If that claw lands firmly, it might even tear off a piece of skull.
But Black Tiger seemed to have known this would happen all along. There was no panic on his face. Instead, he grinned, with a "I knew it" look on his face.
"I've been waiting for you all along." Black Tiger directly blocked King Ma's attack. "I could guess what you were thinking even with my eyes closed."
As the fight broke out, Song Hai and Qian Laifu, standing nearby, did not hesitate at all and directly confronted Erhu. Song Hai went up against Winged Tiger, while Qian Laifu clashed with Dwarf Tiger. The leaders of both sides started fighting, and the remaining men on both sides exchanged glances before launching their own attacks.
Qin Chuan stood in the crowd, roaring as he charged forward, but his steps were somewhat slow, and he soon fell behind the crowd.
He's not stupid; he'd never risk his life for the Iron Hands Gang.
The Iron Hands Gang had about seventy or eighty members, while the Black Tiger Gang had over a hundred. The two groups clashed violently.
Just then, shouts came again from the hillside next to them.
The sound didn't come from the low slope, but from both sides of the dirt road where the Iron Hand Gang had come from. Behind the waist-high weeds, a number of figures suddenly emerged.
Qin Chuan looked in the direction of the sound and his pupils contracted sharply. It was actually the Black Tiger Gang, at least fifty or sixty of them, flanking from both sides and completely blocking the Iron Hand Gang's retreat.
Clearly, this was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather a pre-planned ambush.
While fighting with King Yama, Black-Hearted Tiger laughed loudly, "King Yama, I knew you had ill intentions! You were plotting to ambush me, but I was planning to wipe you out too!"
He exerted his strength suddenly, pushing Ma Yanwang back half a step, then took a step back to steady himself, his eyes blazing with ferocity.
"I've brought everyone with me today!" Blackheart Tiger raised his arm, clenching his fist. "My men are everywhere around the docks. None of you Iron Hands will escape today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fifty or sixty men on the hillside rushed over, forming a pincer movement against the Iron Hand Gang.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan was also somewhat helpless. He had been standing at the back, waving flags and shouting, pretending to fight, but hadn't stepped forward to fight and was doing just fine. But if he were to be surrounded like this, it would be troublesome.
Enemies are everywhere, in front, behind, left, and right; there's no way to hide behind them anymore.
Moreover, he was originally the last one, but now he has become the first one to face the enemy. Although he is at the Blood Condensation Realm, the first few people to rush over are extremely fast and are obviously not ordinary people.
One against many, Qin Chuan had just been promoted, and in this chaotic battle, if he got entangled, he might not be their match. Moreover, he didn't have any weapons with him, and he would be at a great disadvantage fighting against those wielding knives and guns.
Just as he was pondering whether to unleash his full power and fight his way out,
Not far away, Ah Niu, who was fighting with someone, accidentally revealed a weakness.
A man from the Black Tiger Gang seized an opening and kicked him hard in the chest.
"Bang!"
Ah Niu's body flew backward, drawing an arc in the air, before crashing heavily in front of Qin Chuan with a dull thud.
The long sword in his hand hit the ground, bounced twice, and then slipped from his grasp.
The two looked at each other, both showing surprise.
Ah Niu clearly didn't expect to fall at Qin Chuan's feet, and Qin Chuan also didn't expect Ah Niu to appear in front of him in this way.
Their eyes met, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
But Ah Niu immediately saw the Black Tiger Gang members rushing towards him. Without thinking, and ignoring the pain in his body, he grabbed the fallen knife, flipped himself up, and charged directly at them.
