Chapter 203: Stepping on the Head to Get to the Top
Yan Xu killed people in Shanghai like killing chickens. He didn't care who the victim was. As long as he knew that the victim deserved to die, he would send the victim to death that same night. What mattered to him was that he would not wait until the next day to kill him.
But they don't know that those who can occupy land in the Magic City and collect money as landlords are not ordinary people. They are all well-known and well-known bigwigs in this industry, otherwise how could they make a living from the treasure pot of the Magic City.
People like Li Jinsheng, even though they are very powerful in front of Master Ren and others, and anyone passing by has to give tea money, can only make a living on the edge of the Magic City and dare not enter the Magic City at all, because even if they get in, they may not be able to get out alive.
Therefore, his biggest dream in this life is to occupy a street in Shanghai, then sit there and collect money for eating, drinking and enjoying himself.
But Li Jinsheng himself couldn't remember how many big shots in his eyes had died at the hands of Yan Xu. The shock caused would naturally not be limited to the Magic City. The news was spreading more and more widely and becoming more and more outrageous.
Now other provinces know that a ruthless man has come to Shanghai, known as the King of Killing. At least eight hundred people have died at his hands. He is characterized by a black helmet and black armor, and likes to use a Mauser pistol and a long-handled sword. He worships Guan Gong, but kills people without blinking an eye.
The opinions of Yan Xu in the underworld are polarized, one side admires him to death, the other side hates him to death.
They admire him because he is strong enough and has done things that they dare not even think of.
What makes them hateful is that they are also on Yan Xu's hunting list, which means they have nothing to do with human affairs.
"You guys go and deliver the letter quickly, telling them that the killer king of Demon City has come out, tell them to open their eyes wide and don't offend this gentleman!" Li Jinsheng finally recovered after Yan Xu left for a long time. Regardless of his wet clothes, he called a few of his younger brothers over and told them to deliver the letter quickly to earn some favors.
In the past, Li Jinsheng only regarded the story of the Demon City Killer King as a rumor, and even thought it was too exaggerated. After all, this was not ancient times, and even the peerless warrior described by the storyteller could not block a few bullets.
But when he really saw the real person, he realized that it was not an exaggeration. Just the aura he revealed made him suddenly see his grandmother waving at him.
Yan Xu was just about to kill someone, so he certainly didn't hold back his momentum. If Li Jinsheng hadn't reacted quickly and mastered the skill of bowing in the air, he would have been dead by now, and his soul would have gone with his grandmother.
In addition, it was not only Li Jinsheng who was panicked, but also Master Ren and his group. After all, this master had been following them from the beginning.
The small vendors and civilians who had been following the Ren family's motorcade for warmth had already dispersed, leaving only Master Ren, who had a huge fortune and nowhere to run. How could he not be panicked?
"Who is this Demon City Killer King?!" Master Ren kept wiping his sweat, but his other hand was tightly holding the arm of the caravan manager, which showed how nervous he was.
When Master Ren was young, he was also a businessman. He naturally knew that bandits like Li Jinsheng cared most about their reputation. Sometimes they would not even give in even when a knife was on their necks. But when he saw that man today, he wanted to kowtow to him on the spot. What kind of ruthless person is he? !
"The Demon City Killer King is the president of the Guandi Society. He did kill many people, but it has nothing to do with us." The manager of the caravan was very clear about the matter. After all, it was inevitable for merchants to find out who in the local area should not be offended. Therefore, he hurried to comfort the master, asking him not to get sick from fright.
"Explain it to me clearly, otherwise I won't be able to let it go." Master Ren said, covering his chest, while Ren Tingting beside him was full of curiosity and didn't look nervous at all.
This guy was also a careless person. He didn't realize the danger at all. Instead, he was full of curiosity about the man in black armor. He still felt sorry that he didn't see his face. He didn't know whether he was good-looking or how old he was.
"Although this gentleman has killed people like crazy, he never killed civilians, nor did he rob the rich under the pretext of helping the poor. He only killed those who committed heinous crimes. And he has a huge business in the Demon City, so he is not a bandit." The caravan manager hurriedly recounted what Yan Xu had done in order to comfort the old man.
While listening, Mr. Ren was comparing his own daily actions in his mind to see if they were within the range of what the other party would consider murdering.
Fortunately, although he bought low and sold high, bullied others by taking advantage of his power, occupied land and water, and lent money for interest, he still had a bottom line. He was not guilty of a heinous crime, nor was he completely unscrupulous, so I finally felt relieved.
When they arrived at the next town, Yan Xu didn't think twice and stayed at the same inn as Master Ren. This man knew the way well and had some money, so the place he stayed at would definitely not be too bad, saving him the trouble of looking for another one.
When Master Ren saw that the other party's carriage was also parked at the same inn, he suddenly became panicked again. He quickly asked someone to prepare a generous gift and prepared to visit in person to find out why the other party had been following him. If he said that it was just on the way, he didn't believe it.
Yan Xu simply washed his face and hands, and was about to call the waiter to see what the signature dishes were when he heard a knock on the door.
Touching the gun at his waist, Yan Xu opened the door, only to see Mr. Ren with a flattering smile on his face.
"What's the matter?" Yan Xu was stunned at first, then asked.
"Thanks to President Yan, I escaped from the thieves. I came here to express my gratitude. Please accept this small gift." Master Ren bowed and lied with his eyes open while asking the attendant holding the gift to bring it in.
The Ren family caravan had dealt with bandits along the way more than once or twice, and they had already developed a tacit understanding that they could travel with the caravan as long as they paid some tea money.
On the contrary, if Yan Xu really killed his way through, not only would the bandits not disappear, but a new group of people would also be replaced. By then, the Ren family caravan would have to spend a considerable price to open up these links one by one.
What's more, they had already paid the money before, and Yan Xu was not only of no help to them, but also increased the risk, so their thanks were false. The real reason was that they wanted to find out why he had been following the Ren family caravan.
If it's for wealth, Mr. Ren is already prepared to spend money to avoid disaster, but if it's for sex, then we can discuss it later.
Thinking of his daughter, Master Ren hesitated for a moment and thought so.
"Come in and sit down." Yan Xu nodded, without looking at the gifts, but just pointed to the chair.
The tea was naturally poured by Master Ren's followers. Yan Xu responded to Master Ren intermittently until he mentioned Uncle Jiu.
"Uncle Jiu is a rare Taoist master. This time I went to Renjia Town to seek his advice." Yan Xu did not hide his purpose, nor did he need to hide it.
Hearing this, Master Ren was somewhat relieved. It was good that they were not coming for the Ren family. He was just curious whether Uncle Jiu really had such a high status that the King of Killers in the Magic City respected him so much? He even went to meet him in person?
No matter what, facing Yan Xu, the killer, Master Ren had no choice and no right to refuse. All he could do was to hold him in high esteem.
Not to mention how worried Mr. Ren was when he returned, Yan Xu's troubles had just begun.
It is well known that news spreads quickly in the underworld, and the more famous someone is, the faster it spreads.
Yan Xu, the killer king of Magic City, is the most famous figure recently. After all, the influence of Magic City lies here, and he is famous for stepping on the heads of a bunch of local tigers and snakes, so it is natural that he is paid attention to by many people.
There are those who try to avoid him as much as possible, those who try to build relationships with him, and of course there are those who are not afraid of death and want to step on him to get to the top. In short, there are all kinds of people.
There is such a group of people in the town right now. They intend to test Yan Xu's ability and see if he can live up to his reputation. If not, don't blame them for stepping on each other's heads to get to the top.
