"Arrogant!"
Tonglapa, in his rage, couldn't help but let out a roar, but because Bai Zihe had knocked out half his teeth, his words were all slurred and leaky.
This only fueled his anger further!
"All of you, get him!"
"The woman, capture her alive. The man, break all his limbs and drag him back. I want Little Black to have a feast."
The burly men had remained impassive.
But upon hearing this, their eyes twitched fiercely.
Little Black was neither human nor dog, but an alligator raised by Tonglapa!
When this creature ate humans, it would chew them in its mouth for a while until the prey was completely dead before slowly swallowing them.
It was a true nightmare.
*Swish!*
The burly men were ruthless and not ones for idle talk. Seven of them charged at Bai Zihe, while another headed towards Chen Shuang'er.
After all, the boss had given the order to be gentle with beautiful women.
"Courting death!"
Bai Zihe's expression also turned grim.
In fact, from the very beginning, he could have used force and directly snatched the key from Tonglapa's hand.
But he had his principles and disdained doing so.
*Whoosh!*
A cold glint flashed in Bai Zihe's eyes. He casually picked up a brand-new playing card and flicked it out.
*Swish, swish, swish!*
The playing card spun and flew out at an astonishing speed.
It traced an arc in mid-air and soon sliced through the throat of the burly man who had tried to grab Chen Shuang'er.
"Ugh..."
The burly man let out a pained cry, his windpipe severed, blood gushing out like a torrent.
He fell to the ground and died on the spot.
This scene...
Startled all the burly men.
This young man before them was not only skilled at cards but also killed without batting an eye, a truly formidable opponent.
Immediately...
The speed of their punches increased.
But that spinning playing card was even faster, cutting through the lives of each burly man with lightning speed.
*Thwack, thwack, thwack...*
Without exception, all these burly men had their throats severed by the playing cards.
In total, it took only a few seconds.
Only four people remained on the scene.
Bai Zihe, Chen Shuang'er.
The casino owner, Tonglapa, and the beautiful dealer who had been dealing cards earlier.
Her face was ashen, and she cowered in a corner, trembling.
As for Tonglapa, his face was even more unsightly.
These burly men...
Each one was a carefully selected expert who had helped him overcome countless challenges and had experienced innumerable fights and even killings.
And today, they were all killed by Bai Zihe...
He had been careless!
"I'll give you... one minute to consider."
Bai Zihe's face was as cold as frost, his voice like iron: "Either you hand over the key to me, or..."
"You die!"
As the last word was uttered, Tonglapa's eyes twitched fiercely.
Bai Zihe's killing intent was too strong.
"The key isn't with me!"
Tonglapa gritted his teeth, suppressing his anger: "When I came up, I had someone lock the key away."
He had never intended to give the key to Bai Zihe from the start.
He had only shown it briefly at the beginning to lure Bai Zihe up, and then had someone lock it away again.
In fact, Bai Zihe had already realized this; otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered with small talk.
"Then go get it."
Bai Zihe fixed his gaze on Tonglapa, unfazed by any trickery.
"You, come here."
Tonglapa called the beautiful dealer over, but secretly gave her a meaningful look: "The key he wants is on the second level of the safe. Go and get it."
The beautiful dealer understood and immediately walked out.
As she opened the main hall door, she heard Bai Zihe's cold voice again.
"You'd better not play any tricks."
"Otherwise..."
"I won't hold back again."
The beautiful dealer shivered and stepped into the luxurious elevator, her high heels clicking.
Tonglapa's eyes also twitched fiercely.
But in his heart, he roared.
Arrogant.
Let you be arrogant for another minute.
When my reinforcements arrive, we'll see if you can still be so arrogant.
Even...
He had already mentally rehearsed countless ways to torment Bai Zihe, vowing to make him regret ever being born.
The minute passed quickly.
When the door to the luxurious hall was opened again, a figure appeared in Bai Zihe's line of sight.
This person didn't look tall, nor was he particularly strong.
In fact, he was quite gaunt.
But his eyes were filled with a deathly stillness.
This was an aura that developed after killing countless people, more terrifying than mere killing intent.
He walked step by step, exuding an immense presence.
Like a fierce tiger pouncing on its prey.
And his hands... were empty, not holding a key at all.
Bai Zihe smiled.
A chilling, scalp-numbing smile: "Tonglapa, it seems you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin; you're forcing me to kill you!"
"You're the one who should die!"
Tonglapa, seeing his reinforcement arrive, felt emboldened: "Kid, I admit you have some skill."
"Be it cards or fighting, you've got a few tricks up your sleeve."
"But have you ever thought..."
"Why do truly powerful people never reveal their strength?"
Before Bai Zihe could answer.
Tonglapa's lips curled into a sinister smile: "Because they know that once their strength is exposed, they will either be bought off or killed!"
"And you..."
"Are also destined to die today."
"Scorpion, kill him for me!"
A murderous glint flashed in Tonglapa's eyes as he commanded without mercy.
Scorpion?
Upon hearing the name, Chen Shuang'er's face changed dramatically.
"Young master, be careful."
"Scorpion is a master from Yangguang City."
"Once, he was going to sea to collect goods when he was ambushed by enemies. They destroyed the cruise ship he was on, sinking it to the bottom of the sea."
"The opposing side pursued."
"But he destroyed the cruise ship with a single punch..."
"He killed all his enemies who fell into the water, not a single one left!"
Chen Shuang'er said, extremely seriously and quickly.
Hearing her words, Tonglapa let out a wild laugh: "Since you know Scorpion's reputation, why don't you surrender meekly..."
"Don't you know how he got his nickname?"
Chen Shuang'er's pupils contracted sharply.
She spoke with great difficulty and reluctance: "Every time Scorpion kills someone, he likes to tear them apart piece by piece and eat them raw..."
This was the truly terrifying part.
As soon as she finished speaking,
Scorpion had already reached Bai Zihe.
*Swish!*
His attack was as fast and fierce as a real scorpion.
But no matter how fast he was, he was not as fast as Bai Zihe!
Bai Zihe raised his hand and delivered a slap.
*Slap!*
A torrent of power was unleashed.
Scorpion's face was like it had been hit by a speeding truck; in an instant, it spun dozens of times, snapping his neck.
*Bang!*
His body fell to the ground, landing like a blow to Tonglapa's heart.
At this moment, he was already terrified beyond measure.
Tonglapa knew very well how powerful Scorpion was, yet he was killed with a single slap by Bai Zihe, without any power to resist...
*Splash!*
Tonglapa immediately wet himself.
Yellowish liquid flowed down his pant legs, quickly pooling on the ground.
"You, you, you..."
Tonglapa pointed at Bai Zihe, his fingers trembling. He tried to swallow to moisten his throat but found it incredibly dry!
"He... he's one of Sang Biao's men!"
"If you dare to kill him, Sang Biao will never forgive you!"
Tonglapa retreated, trying to threaten Bai Zihe: "As long as you let me go, I'll keep my mouth shut!"
"I guarantee I won't tell Sang Biao about today's events!"
"Otherwise..."
Bai Zihe interrupted with a cold laugh: "No 'otherwise.' It's not necessary."
With that, he walked towards Tonglapa step by step.
Boundless killing intent converged, like a majestic dragon roaring, shaking the heavens and earth.
