After a brief silence, the tavern was filled with laughter.

"Just as one Little Wu left, another one comes in.

Captain Ma is really sincere!”

“You think so? If you hadn't been so crazy yesterday, would that Little Wu have been scared away? That kid is honest, it would have been nice if he stayed a few more days...”

“But this one looks better than the one yesterday, quite good-looking.”

“Today, let's keep our hands to ourselves.

Lao Qian said if we scare this one away, there will be no one left...”

“Run? Don't even think about running this time." A thin man slowly stood up, his deep-set eye sockets staring at Chen Ling like a zombie, "Not bad, quite young, good complexion, the parts on his body should fetch a good price.”

“Bone Knife, playing too big, it won't end well later...”

“Hmph, Ice Spring Street was slaughtered by disaster, it was the fault of these law enforcers, why? Are we not allowed to ask for some compensation?" The thin man known as Bone Knife sneered.

The people in the tavern all looked at Chen Ling at the door, like a group of greedy, hungry beasts examining their prey.

Chen Ling stood there, seemingly oblivious to their words, took out a pen from his pocket, and tapped on the form.

"Bone Knife, right?" Chen Ling wrote down this name, "Let's start with you...

Where were you on the night Ice Spring Street was slaughtered?" Seeing this young man daring to speak, everyone looked at each other in surprise.

Yesterday, Wu Youdong saw this scene and was so scared that he couldn't even speak...

Is this kid really bold or just stupid? Bone Knife squinted his eyes, stood up, and walked slowly to Chen Ling.

"Where was I?" Bone Knife blew on his black nails, then his pale knuckles clawed at Chen Ling's neck like eagle claws! "I was on your mother's bed!!"

In the blink of an eye, a cold light flashed in Chen Ling's eyes, his right hand holding the pen suddenly stabbed back, the tip of the pen instantly piercing Bone Knife's palm!

In excruciating pain, Bone Knife screamed, before he could react, a hand rapidly enlarged in his field of vision, then pressed down on his head, slamming it heavily to the ground! God of War Path, Third Stage - [Slaughter Dance]! Bang!! Wood chips flew, crimson blood flowed.

The people only felt a blur in front of them, and Bone Knife was smashed into the ground by the young man with one hand, the heavy cotton coat slightly lifted, and the whole tavern fell into silence.

"Attacking law enforcers, a serious crime," Chen Ling said lightly.

He slowly straightened up, patted his blood-stained hands, and glanced at the crowd.

After a brief silence, the people in the tavern finally came to their senses, their astonishment and shock in their eyes were overshadowed by anger, and three of them even pulled out their guns and aimed at Chen Ling! "Damn, a tough guy?!"

Chen Ling already knew they had guns, and at the moment they pulled out their guns, he overturned the table next to him!

The huge table flipped in mid-air, a group of figures immediately retreated to both sides, the front fell into chaos, at the same time, Chen Ling bent over and flashed out from under the table, swinging a wine bottle and smashing it towards the nearest gunman's face! Crack!

The wine bottle shattered, sharp remnants cut across the man's cheek, leaving several crimson bloodstains.

Chen Ling followed up with an elbow strike, knocking him unconscious on the ground.

In an instant, two streaks of fire splashed in the distance, bullets whistling straight towards Chen Ling! In the dim light, Chen Ling's figure moved agilely like a ghost, his heavy cotton coat fluttering and twisting, pierced by two bullets, but none of them hit Chen Ling's body.

This was Chen Ling's first time using [Slaughter Dance], and the most obvious feeling was that his body seemed weightless like a ghost.

In such a narrow and chaotic tavern, he was able to move around like a fish in water.

As long as he could observe the enemy's gun-raising movements in advance, he was confident he could dodge the bullets...

Of course, the premise was that there were not many gunmen.

As he dealt with the first gunman, the other two immediately felt a sense of being targeted by a wild beast.

Their eyes tried to track Chen Ling's position, but with Chen Ling continuously overturning tables and chairs to block their view, it was almost impossible.

Just then, a whistling sound came from beside his ear, and the next moment his head was struck heavily, losing consciousness.

Chen Ling once again dealt with a gunman, snatched the gun, and pulled the trigger at several big men rushing with knives.

Bang bang bang—! Several blood blossoms bloomed on their legs, and they immediately screamed in pain, falling to the ground one after another.

The sounds of wailing, cursing, gunshots, and falling tables and chairs were heard one after another.

Within thirty seconds of Chen Ling entering the room, the entire tavern descended into chaos.

Out of the original fourteen people in the tavern, thirteen were brutally defeated!

Chen Ling casually threw the emptied pistol magazine aside, stepped over the body of a big man with four broken ribs, and as the big man screamed in pain, he calmly walked to the only intact chair in the room and sat down.

"Boss, a whiskey." Chen Ling kicked the big man again, and the screams rang out once more, "Charge it to his head." The one-eyed boss standing behind the counter throughout finally came to his senses, looking at Chen Ling with fear in his eyes.

Able to run a tavern on Ice Spring Street, which had become the gathering place for most residents, this one-eyed boss was naturally not an ordinary person.

He had traveled through the seven districts and met many people, but someone as decisive and ruthless as Chen Ling, a young man, was a first for him.

Is this a reserved seat?!

If you said this guy was a law enforcer, he would believe it! The one-eyed boss discreetly put away the revolver he had hidden in his hand, lowered his head to take out a glass, and began preparing the whiskey.

"Name." Chen Ling crossed his legs and placed the form on his lap, saying lightly.

In the silent tavern, no one answered.

"I'm talking to you!" He kicked the big man's broken ribs.

"Ah ah ah ah...

Li Mang! Li Mang!" The big man immediately gave in.

"Where were you on the night of the disaster invasion?”

“I, I was in this tavern.”

“Did you see the appearance of that disaster?”

“I think I saw it...

I happened to be out relieving myself and saw it flash by on the street...

It seemed to be humanoid." The big man shakily told the truth.

Chen Ling said nothing more, stood up, took the whiskey from the counter, swirled it lightly, and the clear ice cubes clinked against the glass.

Then, he lifted the glass and slowly poured it down towards the big man's bloody wound...

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!" A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the street, "I'm telling the truth!! It's all true!!”

“Do you know? Without concrete evidence, just relying on words like 'seems like' and 'should be' to report to law enforcement...

is considered spreading rumors." Chen Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, "I'll ask you again...

Did you see it?”

“I, I...

I really..."

The glass in Chen Ling's hand tilted gradually, more and more alcohol poured onto the wound, causing the big man to tremble all over! "...I didn't!! I didn't see anything!!"
