Chapter 556: Section 343: Saber Gang in Peril

The arena fell into a deathly silence.

The death of Teng Donglang struck everyone with a strong sense of surprise.

Even the Dragon-man youth who had killed Teng Donglang was no exception.

Gazing at the corpse not far away, the Dragon-man youth was filled with a surreal feeling.

At the edge of the dueling field, in the friends and family section,

Lan Zao, Sanda, and the others were all dumbstruck.

In their imagination, the limit was the Dragon-man youth using his Combat Skill to cling to the last thread of opportunity and win with difficulty. They had never considered that the youth would kill Teng Donglang!

“Ah, ah, ah! Ah, ah, ah!” Menshi, so excited he couldn’t utter a complete sentence, could only point at Teng Donglang’s body, his eyes bulging.

There was someone even more beside themselves with joy, and that was Bu Quan.

Bu Quan had already jumped down from her seat, leaning so close to the Magic Image that she almost wanted to dive in.

“Dead?”

“Teng Donglang is dead!”

“The Dragon-man squad leader killed him?!”

“Oh my God, oh my God, I must be dreaming.”

She couldn’t help but pinch herself, and the feeling of pain promptly followed.

The next moment, her face was streaming with tears.

Of course, it wasn’t because of the pain, but a feeling of exhilaration!

What could be more exhilarating than revenge?

Especially seeing the Gang Leader of the Saber Gang die right before her eyes!

In the VIP Observation Room.

“Impossible.” The Ice Eagle also left his seat, his previous calm and composure completely gone.

He stared intensely at the Magic Image, growling, “This is absolutely impossible!”

“This has to be fake, definitely fake.”

Having such a great advantage before, to meet such a sudden downturn at the last moment.

Teng Donglang not only lost but also lost his life.

The discrepancy with the previous battle situation was too large, far exceeding the high levels of the Saber Gang’s capacity to accept.

Xiong Ju, Ban Langen, and others were all frozen in place.

Suddenly, the Spring Boxer shouted loudly, slammed the door open, and rushed out.

The rest, in a state of confusion, didn’t quite catch what the Spring Boxer had shouted.

But this shout woke them up.

“God, oh great Ancestor Oak, what have I just witnessed?” Ban Langen covered his face, panic-stricken.

“Am I trapped in an illusion? It must be so, right?” The Human Race leader looked at the others with hopeful eyes, wanting a negative answer.

But Xiong Ju just shook his head.

In these ten-odd seconds, the Saber Gang’s formidable fighter had bloodshot, reddening eyes.

He bellowed in a low voice, “Dead, our Gang Leader has died in battle!”

The Human Race leader staggered as if stricken by lightning.

He collapsed in his seat, staring at the pool of blood and the corpse on the Magic Image, mumbling, “Dead? The Gang Leader… He’s just dead like this?!”

“There’s something fishy, something strange!” screamed the half-Demon leader, “Why did the Gang Leader suddenly freeze at the last moment, failing to dodge? He clearly had the ability. And, he even activated the ‘Peasant’s Cotton Jacket,’ so why didn’t this piece of equipment stop that Short Spear?!”

“Someone has defiled this heroic duel, yes, there must have been outside interference!”

“They saw that Long Fu had no hope of winning and tampered with it.”

“Exactly, it must be so!”

“Then what are we waiting for?” As soon as Xiong Ju heard this, he immediately became so enraged that his fur seemed to stand on end, “Grab your weapons, we’re going to ask Long Fu for answers, and also search the scene for evidence!”

In the Saber Gang, the one Xiong Ju respected the most was Teng Donglang.

The death of Teng Donglang was a severe psychological blow to Xiong Ju.

Originally, with their chief dying in a heroic duel, Xiong Ju couldn’t say much, other than feeling intense sadness and pain.

But now, hearing that someone had cheated, defiling the sacred duel in his heart, he boiled over with anger, wanting to uncover the truth.

Seeing Xiong Ju move to the wall to grab the Golden Flower Steel Saw, the Human Race leader hurriedly intervened, “Wait a minute!”

“The most pressing thing now is not to uncover any truth.”

“The Gang Leader is dead, and our Saber Gang is also in danger!”

This statement had no effect on Xiong Ju but made the dazed Ice Eagle shiver as if he had been doused in icy seawater during the depths of winter.

A strong sense of crisis arose in his heart, and the Ice Eagle came to his senses.

He bellowed, “Nobody panic!”

“Quickly retrieve the Gang Leader’s body, and return to the Saber Gang’s base.”

“I will immediately summon my slaves to take their place at headquarters!”

“Before the next Gang Leader is elected, I will oversee everything.”

“Gentlemen, we must come together; the Saber Gang is at its most dangerous moment. To overcome this crisis, we must work together sincerely!”

At this critical moment, this former Gang Leader stood up, accepting the role of overseeing everything.

The other leaders looked his way.

Whether it was hatred, rage, confusion, or panic, seeing such a responsible Ice Eagle, the leaders gradually calmed down.

Seeing the leaders express their obedience, Ice Eagle sighed in relief.

The first step was complete.

He had just been worried that his prestige wouldn’t be enough to lead these people.

After all, they were not his confidants, but Teng Donglang’s.

The position of Gang Leader was also a great temptation for these leaders.

It seems now that these leaders still have a sense of the bigger picture.

However, the real headache remains, which must be cautiously addressed and resolved with all our might.

“Originally, Saber Gang’s situation was very bad, and they had hoped to use the heroic duel to solve the trouble.”

This was the plan agreed upon by Teng Donglang and Ice Eagle.

In this duel, Saber Gang needed to fully demonstrate their strength to stabilize the morale and restore prestige.

Because of this consideration, Teng Donglang took advantage of the situation and used the base tactic at the beginning of the battle. The aim was to push Long Fu steadily while appearing calm and unbothered.

But unexpectedly, the final resolution of the duel was his death in battle!

Who could have predicted that outcome?

Even the boldest speculations amounted to nothing more than Long Fu winning and defeating Teng Donglang.

Saber Gang’s situation, due to the death of Teng Donglang, instantly fell to a desperately bad state.

This is a world of the strong.

Saber Gang could become the local tyrant and occupy a large amount of resources in Snowbird Port for one main reason: their gang leader was of the Golden Level.

Otherwise, Ice Eagle would not have willingly ceded his position to Teng Donglang.

The highest powers in Snowbird Port lay with the four Golden Level figures.

Teng Donglang was one of them.

Now, with Teng Donglang dead, one corner of the balance of power among the four is lost, and the balanced political landscape has been disrupted.

“Fortunately, the situation isn’t the worst yet.”

“I still have a Golden Level giant slave, who can still barely maintain order.”

“But now, Saber Gang’s territory must be reduced.”

“Such a scale could only be covered by Teng Donglang while he was alive.”

Thinking of this, Ice Eagle could not help but cast a hateful and murderous gaze at the Dragon-man youth in the Magic Image.

It was him.

It was this Dragon-man who caused the Saber Gang to fall into this predicament.

Damn him.

He deserves to die!

Ice Eagle was filled with regret.

If only he had given no thought to the consequences and had forcefully encircled and killed the Dragon-man youth during the conflict, would all these troubles now be nonexistent?

“Teng Donglang is dead!?”

“My God, a Gang Leader, killed by Long Fu!!”

“Why didn’t he dodge at the end?”

“His breath was disordered, he failed using his Combat Skills? Damn! Such a sinner really deserved such a fate.”

“Snowbird Port will be in chaos now, Saber Gang lost its strongest warrior, it’s bound to be a tumultuous time. I need to leave this place of trouble quickly.”

The audience gradually became noisy.

People finally accepted the reality before their eyes.

Some were excitedly exchanging words, others were exploring in puzzlement, and others looked further ahead, already planning to leave tonight.

One could foresee that Snowbird Port would fall into unrest for a period of time.

Teng Donglang is dead!

A fall of a Golden Level fighter, the abrupt disappearance of influence leaves a vacuum of power that will ignite fierce rivalry among all ranks and forces.

“Let me in, let me in!” Spring Boxer charged headlong, drawing curses from many, only to be stopped at the edge of the field.

He was shouting, with only the sight of Teng Donglang’s corpse in his eyes.

The arena owner of Snowbird Port Dueling Field took one look at Teng Donglang, then scanned the entire crowd, and loudly declared: the victor of this duel was indeed the Dragon-man youth.

Countless people cheered in unison.

Many put aside their discussions and escape plans, at this moment offering their applause and encouragement to the Dragon-man youth.

Members of the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps immediately rushed into the field to help up their squad leader.

But this time, unlike the last, the Dragon-man youth’s brow was furrowed, his eyes filled with doubt.

He did not savor his moment of victory; instead, he said to Lan Zao, “Let’s go, let’s leave here and head back to the ship first.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the sealed doors of the dueling field were forcibly pushed open from the outside.

A crowd barged in.

Just as the arena owner was about to erupt in anger, seeing that the one leading the intrusion was the City Lord of Snowbird Port, he immediately shut his mouth.

The City Lord of Snowbird Port looked into the field, first confirming the fact of Teng Donglang’s death, then turning his gaze towards the Dragon-man youth.

He congratulated, “Squad leader of Long Fu, you are truly a brave warrior! A genuine Justice Believer!”

“You have actually killed a Golden Level as a Silver Level.”

“You’ve made a name for yourself with this battle!”

“City Lord…” The Dragon-man youth began to respond, but saw the City Lord of Snowbird Port raise his hand to stop him from speaking further.

Then, the voice of Snowbird Port’s City Lord resonated clearly throughout the entire field, “I hereby declare again, Saber Gang is sin-ridden and extreme in evil, the cancer of Snowbird Port. Only by eradicating the cancer can we bring a truly beautiful future to this city.”

“Those unrelated should not act rashly. I have personally taken action merely to arrest the associated gang members!”

“All members of Saber Gang, listen up, surrendering your weapons and submitting is your only way out. Stubborn resistance will only lead to the same fate as this man.”

With that, the City Lord of Snowbird Port took out a head from his Space Storage Ring and tossed it on the ground.

The head was huge, with a fierce expression frozen on the face before death.

This was a giant’s head, emanating the aura of the Golden Level.

Recognizing the head of his own Golden Level giant slave, Ice Eagle’s face turned instantly pale.

“Saber Gang is in peril!”

“Escape, first break through the dueling field, then scatter and run.”

“Each escapee counts!”

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Ice Eagle’s eyes, and he ordered hoarsely.
