Afterwards, everyone dispersed, making way for a central area for the sparring match. Liu Qinwei thought to himself, "You're still a woman, even though you received guidance from the president. The president is formidable, no doubt, but a woman's strength is ultimately not as great as a man's. As long as I use a few powerful moves, you won't lose too badly. I'll make sure not to defeat you too miserably out of respect for the president." When Liu Qinwei was young, he had learned some basic fighting postures at a martial arts school. He observed Yu Ling and decided to use the "Black Tiger Plucks Heart" move, while Yu Ling practiced the well-known Tai Chi. Most people nowadays practice Tai Chi for health and wellness, mostly the elderly, as modern people rarely train in internal energy. However, Yu Ling had been infused with true qi by Star Han, so her performance in combat was quite impressive. Liu Qinwei's fighting skills were impressive due to his training at the martial arts school and his own physical strength. Although he couldn't claim to be as strong as an ox, his strength was much greater than that of an average person. Even a strong man would struggle against his punches and kicks, let alone a delicate woman like Yu Ling. Yu Ling was aware of his strength, so she didn't engage in a test of strength. Instead, she used leverage and agility to engage with him. The two fought evenly, with one throwing powerful punches and the other displaying nimble footwork. However, anyone with keen eyes could see that if the fight continued, Liu Qinwei would undoubtedly lose. After all, a person's strength was limited, and once his strength was depleted, he would lose.
Just as Star Han was about to intervene and declare a draw, a change occurred in the arena. Yu Ling seized the opportunity, grabbed Liu Qinwei from behind by his waist, and with a light shout, lifted him up as if she were lifting a child. She casually twirled him in the air a few times, as if she were going to throw him away, and then asked, "Have you surrendered? If not, I'll throw you away, and then we can continue the fight."
Liu Qinwei spun in the air a few times, feeling dizzy. How could he continue fighting in this state? He quickly said, "Sister Ling, I surrender! Please don't throw me."
Yu Ling chuckled and gently set him down. The others cheered, and Liu Qinwei stuck out his tongue, saying, "Wow, Sister Ling, you're so strong! I weigh at least 145 pounds, but you lifted me so effortlessly."
"You know it now. Sister Ling is formidable. What does your weight matter? Even if you weighed twice as much, Sister Ling could still lift you," Yu Long praised.
At this point, Star Han spoke up and said, "Alright, let's conclude here for today. Go back and prepare everything. Yu Ling, Yu Long, stay behind. I have something to discuss with you."
After the others had left, Star Han instructed Yu Long to pay close attention to gathering intelligence and inquired about Yu Ling's progress in her assassin training. Once he learned that everything was going well, he said to the sisters, "The techniques I've taught you are a form of qigong and resemble the inner cultivation methods described in novels. When used properly, the effects are immeasurable. After observing your progress over the past year, I must say you've achieved quite a bit."
"We feel the same way. Our response, hearing, and vision have all improved compared to before. The strength in our hands is also much stronger than that of an average person. All of this is thanks to the cultivation by the president. We sisters are extremely grateful," Yu Ling said.
"I also recognize your progress, but it seems that you still have room for improvement. I'd like to enhance your skills further to prevent any unforeseen circumstances during future operations," Star Han said.
"Thank you, President!" The two sisters were overjoyed to hear Star Han's words. They knew that Star Han's abilities were unfathomable.
"No need to thank me. I brought you into the underworld and made you live each day in fear and uncertainty. I can't find peace in my heart unless you don't resent me. I dare not ask for anything more," Star Han said.
"You saved our lives. Without you, we wouldn't even know where we are now. What else is there to complain about? Besides, we're living well now, getting whatever we want. What more can we ask for? We only hope to contribute more to you, to protect you by your side. We won't ask for anything else," Yu Ling said.
Time passed quickly, and without realizing it, half a month had gone by. In this period, the Axe Gang, the Heaven and Earth Society, and the Flying Sky Gang were thrown into chaos, just as Star Han had expected. Their alliances crumbled, and they had no energy to manage the affairs of the Dragon Kill Association. The Axe Gang and the Heaven and Earth Society were the first to seek help from the Dragon Kill Association.
One day, Star Han received news that the Axe Gang, the Heaven and Earth Society, and the Flying Sky Gang were planning to hold a final showdown at Feiyun Beach. Star Han knew it was time to take action, so he gathered all the hall masters and deputy hall masters for a meeting to prepare for the mission of annihilating the three gangs. Star Han didn't want to bring too many people, so he selected twenty elite assassins from the Xuanwu Hall, along with Yu Long's group of seven and Liu Qinwei's group of three, making a total of thirty-two people. Sun Zihao and Wu Chengming were to stay at the headquarters in case of any unforeseen circumstances. The selected individuals were all the elite members of the Xuanwu Hall, each equipped with firearms. Although Star Han had substantial financial backing, the Dragon Kill Association could only provide firearms for about fifty people. In fact, it was rare for a medium-sized organization like the Dragon Kill Association to possess firearms. Usually, only the leaders had access to them. Equipping the Dragon Kill Association to this extent required considerable financial resources. However, Star Han wasn't satisfied with just dominating one region. His goal was to become the ultimate power throughout the entire country.
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
But Star Han didn't want to reveal his true strength too early, so he chose to bring only twenty people. However, even with this small number, Star Han had absolute confidence. Each of his people was capable of taking on ten opponents single-handedly. They were skilled in marksmanship and formidable in close combat.
Star Han led them to Feiyun Beach. As they approached, they heard gunshots. However, since it was a desolate beach with complex terrain and no residents nearby, and as underworld battles frequently occurred there, the gunfight at Feiyun Beach didn't attract the attention of the authorities. They had arrived by car, but Star Han stopped the car before reaching the location and proceeded on foot. When they were close to Feiyun Beach, Star Han divided the team into three squads, each consisting of eight members. He led one squad to advance from the front, Liu Qinwei led another squad from the left, and Yu Ling and Yu Long led the third squad from the right, surrounding the area from three directions. As Feiyun Beach was adjacent to the sea, the three squads were able to encircle the opposing gangs.
Observing the completed encirclement, Star Han began to speak. Although his voice wasn't loud, he infused it with true qi so that everyone on the beach could hear him clearly. "I am Star Han, the president of the Dragon Kill Association. Your factions have gathered here with ill intentions against our association. Now you have been surrounded by us. Those who are sensible should drop their weapons, remain where you are, and not make any moves. Otherwise, don't blame me, Star Han, for being impolite."
Feiyun Beach was vast, with some cliffs in the middle and a small forest on the side. At this moment, the two sides were confronting each other behind the cliffs, with each group consisting of nearly twenty people, most of them armed with handguns. When they saw more than twenty individuals carrying submachine guns approaching from all sides, each with a dragon emblem on their sleeves, they knew they had provoked a force they couldn't handle. They dropped their guns and crouched down. Occasionally, one or two individuals who tried to escape were immediately riddled with bullet holes from the submachine guns. After two bursts of gunfire, everyone was crouching down. Star Han ordered two people to collect all the firearms.
When the two individuals were collecting the guns, they suddenly pulled out their own guns from behind and aimed them at the two Xuanwu Hall assassins who were collecting the weapons. They crouched behind them, ready to shoot if Star Han's group made any move. These two individuals were also skilled and experienced. The two assassins who were collecting the guns were also highly skilled, but they didn't expect these individuals to have guns on them. By the time they realized it, their opponents had already gained control. With their fingers broken and in excruciating pain, they couldn't resist anymore. Taking advantage of the situation, the two individuals said, "None of you move! Otherwise, these two brothers will lose their lives. If you let the two of us go, we'll release them. How about that?"
The others stood at a distance, unable to react immediately and hesitant to open fire, fearing they might hit their own people. Star Han also didn't notice the situation at first, but when he realized it, it was too late to remedy the situation. He saw the two individuals speaking and quickly said, "Alright, the two of you can leave. I promise not to open fire. However, the others must not move. If anyone moves, I will shoot them!" His last sentence was directed at his own people. Originally, the members of the Flying Sky Gang wanted to retrieve their firearms, but when they heard Star Han's words, they froze. Star Han saw that the situation had stabilized and calmly said to the two individuals, "Do you think you've caught them and that I can't do anything to you? You're wrong. Take a look behind you."
The two individuals quickly turned their heads to look, but there was nothing there. They realized they had been deceived and wanted to turn back, but at that moment, they felt a sharp pain in their hands, and their handguns fell to the ground. Others could only see Star Han's hand rise, followed by a flash of white light, and the two individuals' guns fell. The white light circled in the air and returned to Star Han's hand. At this moment, everyone saw clearly that it was a pair of flying knives. Star Han's throwing speed and accuracy stunned everyone. The two Xuanwu Hall assassins who were collecting the guns took the opportunity to break free from the two individuals' control. By this time, their opponents' fingers were broken, causing them excruciating pain, making it impossible for them to maintain control. Star Han coldly said, "I said I promised not to open fire, but I didn't promise not to use knives. Don't blame me for being ruthless. If anyone else wants to taste the flavor of my flying knives, go ahead and move."
Upon hearing Star Han's words, everyone couldn't help but tremble, including Yu Ling and Yu Long. Because of Star Han's tone, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. Yu Ling and Yu Long stared blankly at Star Han as if they were seeing him for the first time. The Star Han before them was nothing like the calm and indifferent person they were familiar with. At this moment, he appeared as a ruthless and cold-blooded killer, exuding a faint killing intent that created an immense invisible pressure, causing them to naturally feel the urge to submit.
Aside from this unexpected turn of events, the operation was successfully resolved. From this point on, the Dragon Kill Association officially absorbed the three gangs, taking over all their affairs. They assimilated their territories and disbanded their forces, redistributing them to the Qinglong and Baihu Halls. At the same time, the number of members in the Xuanwu Hall increased to one hundred. The influence of the Zhuque Hall also greatly expanded, and their intelligence network covered every corner of the city. The Dragon Kill Association became one of the two major powers in the city's underworld, alongside the Divine Eagle Gang. They stood as two opposing forces. The Divine Eagle Gang had deep-rooted influence in the city, being an established force, while Star Han's Dragon Kill Association was a rising giant, ambitious and determined. The two factions were evenly matched. As Star Han expanded his influence, he continued to recruit talented individuals, preparing for a decisive showdown with the Divine Eagle Gang.
