Chapter 216: Chapter 140 Shadow Envoy_2

Only the fat man holding the One-legged Copper Man was charging left and right in the crowd. Even though these black-clothed men possessed superior martial arts, far beyond those of the Jiaolong Association, they couldn’t subdue him at the moment.

Just then, a black figure flashed out from the hall like a dark line.

In an instant, he was in front of the fat man. He raised his hand to grab, his fingers wreathed with a sinister black aura.

The fat man rotated the One-legged Copper Man in his hand and pushed it upwards in one smooth motion.

In the blink of an eye, it collided with the man’s outreached palm.

Buzz!!!

The One-legged Copper Man vibrated intensely, further entwined by the black aura, resembling two poisonous snakes racing along the statue towards the fat man.

This person hadn’t expected this move, and in a moment of surprise, it was already too late to let go of the One-legged Copper Man.

The black aura reached his chest in the blink of an eye and with a forceful impact, sent him flying backward.

However, whether due to his wide, bulky body or some other secret technique, the fat man did not suffer any apparent damage from the hit, and quickly rolled back to his feet.

He abandoned the One-legged Copper Man and turned to run.

The black-clothed men were taken aback by this, instinctively glancing at their own palms then back at the fat man, finding the whole thing extremely strange.

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun finally got a clear look at this person.

Cloaked in black, with a hood over his head, and a golden-thread embroidered black mask covering his face.

Especially those deep eyes which shimmered like night stars, even under the cover of darkness they looked exceptionally fierce.

At this moment, with a swift movement, he had already caught up with the fat man.

The fat man, heavy and strong, clearly lacked in Qinggong compared to this person and was caught in a matter of moments.

With a single hand, the fat man suddenly turned around and threw a punch.

Upon contact, the black-clothed man was flung backward, his footsteps changing several times but unable to stabilize, finally stopping after retreating more than three zhang away.

Lifting his eyes, they were filled with incredulity.

The fat man’s punch was formidable; his beady eyes blazed ferociously, but he suddenly flopped backward in a rigid motion.

The black-clothed man steadied himself and flicked his hand: “Take him away.”

Immediately, several black-clothed men approached, swiftly hit several acupoints on the fat man’s body, then, to be safe, bound him like a hog-tied horse.

Finally, they simply got a wooden stick, ran it through his bonds, and carried him away.

Another person came out from inside the hall at that moment; of short stature and lean build, stooping slightly, he quickly reached the black-clothed man.

“Shadow Envoy.”

He was meek, the Jiaolong Association’s Third Master.

Even then, as the black-clothed man was still observing his own hand, he spoke without a glance at him:

“The curtain has been raised, this is only the first step.”

“Yes.”

“Be prepared.”

The black-clothed man shook his hand and pulled out a glove from his waistband and put it on:

“In the coming days, the thieves Along the River will gradually come knocking. The Jiaolong Association will open its gates wide and give them no chance to return.

“But…”

He glanced at the Third Master: “The Chain Boat Barrier can last at most fifteen days. If there are still those who can sit still by then, I myself will pay them a visit.”

“All depends on the Shadow Envoy.”

“Hmph.”

The black-clothed man hummed lightly, stretched lazily: “Tired.”

“Farewell, flag order!”

The Third Master bowed deeply, almost wishing he could kneel to send him off.

After walking a few steps, however, the black-clothed man looked back at him.

Seeing this, the Third Master quickly lowered his head.

“Remember one phrase…”

The black-clothed man spoke softly: “What’s given to you, you must take. What’s not, don’t reach out for it… Control your men well, if you stir up trouble prematurely, you are not the only choice.”

“Subordinate understands.”

The Third Master swallowed unconsciously, feeling cold sweat on his forehead.

After a long pause, with no sound, he looked up to find the black-clothed man had disappeared.

He stood up and exhaled.

Turning back to the hall, where were those three thief leaders now?

The hall was empty, only a few untouched cups of tea remained on the table, not yet cleared.

Several Jiaolong Association pirates started cleaning the hall, and seeing the Third Master return, they hurriedly bowed.

“Dismissed.”

The Third Master waved them away, and everyone left without further cleanup.

Standing alone in the hall, he looked up at the foremost seat.

That was the seat of the Jiaolong Association’s Master.

Though merely a simple chair, not as majestic or glittering as the thrones of the Huang Dynasty,

it was filled with boundless allure.

The Third Master approached the chair step by step, turned around, and cautiously sat down.

Initially nervous, he soon couldn’t help but smile.

The smile grew broader, turning into a loud, unchecked laugh!

“Ha ha ha ha!!!!”

He gently patted the armrest, then after a long moment, the laughter ceased, and his gaze turned sharp:

“Master of the waterway thieves, the first of the Three Rivers, who else but me!?”
