"I'll talk, I'll talk... I know, it was Black Tiger King from Wenshan who did it. He... he wanted to be the biggest boss here, to command all the bosses around, so he wanted to pull off a big heist to gain prestige. He gathered the bosses from many nearby mountains to work together and rob the daughter of Jade Prince, who was passing by to buy jadeite rough. Black Tiger King said that if you're going to do something, do it big, otherwise you won't show your skills and courage. Only someone like Jade Prince deserves it, so he led his men to kidnap Miss Yu... He summoned me, but I knew Jade Prince wasn't someone to be trifled with, so I declined, saying I was outnumbered and outgunned, and that I wouldn't be of any use and might even be a burden. So I didn't go..." Now, although Shanpao was terrified, he was secretly glad he hadn't participated. With his marksmanship, he was taken down like a chicken. If he had really participated, wouldn't he have been torn apart with one hand? Black Tiger King and his gang may be powerful, but they're all frogs in a well, mere monkeys. Since there were no tigers nearby, they let him become the mountain king, and he thought he was some kind of fierce tiger or dragon, able to act with impunity. Now look what's happened! Their people are here; let's see how Black Tiger handles this!
Chapter 761: Private Pet
"Where is it? Lead the way!" Li Yang was overjoyed, but also furious. He was overjoyed because he had actually found a clue, but furious because someone was so bold as to actually lay a hand on Prince Yu and his woman. It seemed he needed to establish his authority and teach the rules here. After all, Yu Tihu would be active in this area frequently. He wanted to make an example of her so that everyone would know that no one would dare to lay a hand on Yu Tihu in the future.
"Yes, yes... I'll lead the way!" Without the slightest hesitation, Shanpao immediately agreed to lead Li Yang to the territory of Black Tiger, who was entrenched in Wenshan.
After a period of climbing, Li Yang carried Shanpao along the way, traversing the rugged mountain path as if it were flat ground, moving with incredible speed. Shanpao's eyes nearly popped out of his head as he watched, inwardly marveling, "Is this even human? He's practically a sage!" He was once again thankful he hadn't joined in. Otherwise, he would have certainly met a terrible end.
Time seemed to pass quickly, yet it also seemed to pass slowly. Li Yang carried Shanpao over several mountain peaks, finally arriving at the foot of the highest, most majestic, and most treacherous mountain in the vicinity.
"Is this Wenshan?" Li Yang looked up and asked.
"Yes, yes. Black Tiger lives in these mountains, with about a hundred brothers under his command. He's the most powerful boss in the area. However, there are many others with dozens of followers, but they all live as local warlords, each ruling their own territory. No one submits to anyone else. Although Black Tiger is the strongest and most powerful, the local bosses don't truly respect him. So, in order to become the uncrowned king who commands absolute obedience and whose every word is respected by the bosses of the surrounding mountains, he did this." Mountain Cannon explained to Li Yang again.
“Alright. Keep leading the way.” Li Yang stopped wasting time and continued speeding up the mountain at an incredible pace, seemingly tireless. Shanpao nervously swallowed hard and said, “We’ve reached Black Tiger’s territory. If we go any further, his henchmen will be on guard, both overt and covert. We need to be careful…”
Li Yang frowned slightly. This guy was indeed formidable; he had some skill and knew how to use both overt and covert sentries. However, with his X-ray vision, even the most clandestine sentries couldn't be hidden. Li Yang immediately focused his attention to the maximum, keeping a close watch on everything, not missing a single corner or suspicious spot! He kept a stone clutched in his hand, ready to strike at any moment.
"Whoosh—"
Before Shanpao could react, Li Yang's hand barely moved as the stone transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into a lush tree branch on the mountainside. Immediately following, a muffled groan was heard, the branches trembled, and a man carrying a gun fell from the branch, crashing heavily against the mountain wall and losing consciousness.
"You little brat? What's wrong with you?" A startled cry came from behind a large blue stone a little higher up. First, a gun muzzle appeared, followed by a pair of alert and sharp eyes. A hairy head peeked out—it was another lookout. Li Yang's hand had already grabbed another stone after the attack. He swung it wherever he looked, aiming and shooting precisely. A muffled thud echoed from the hairy head as the stone flew sideways, while Li Yang groaned and slumped onto the large blue stone, unconscious.
"Amazing, amazing..." Shanpao stammered. It was even better than his marksmanship. Damn, he only knew that guns were amazing before, but he never thought that someone could play with stones so well, even better than his gun. This was too amazing. It was not something a human could do. It was a master, a god!
Li Yang ignored his flattery and admiration, continuing his cautious ascent up the mountain. After taking down several sentries along the way without incident, they were very close to Black Tiger's lair, located in a huge cave halfway up the mountain. Inside the cave were wooden huts, a mix of modern and ancient structures, with beds and mosquito nets. Nearby were many other caves of varying sizes, each with beds. Some people were sleeping, others were playing cards, drinking, or doing other things. Li Yang even saw a guy naked on a bed in a cave, having sex. He couldn't make out the woman's face, but from her lifted thighs, he could tell she was wheat-colored, relatively young and healthy, with a healthy sheen, though not very tall. Her hair was disheveled. She was having sex in the cave under the open sky. Several guys from nearby caves chuckled and watched the spectacle. One guy drooled as he watched the scene unfold, his hand moving inside his pants, while another stood at the cave entrance with a wad of RMB, seemingly waiting in line.
Li Yang was puzzled. Damn it, could there be prostitutes here?
Li Yang, carrying a cannon, hid at a bend in the mountain to observe the situation inside. Further in, the crowd thickened, making it impossible for them to hide or try to slip through. Any appearance would be detected. Even if Li Yang was incredibly powerful, he didn't possess the strength of an immortal capable of instantly annihilating ten thousand men. Therefore, he had no choice but to hide and observe.
With his X-ray vision activated, he searched through the various caves in the valley for the person he was looking for. He first looked for the largest cave, which was also the most luxuriously furnished. He saw that there was another cave behind this one, which connected to the other side of the mountain. It was obviously a rare natural escape tunnel. If someone attacked the mountain, they could defend it if they could, and if they couldn't, they could immediately escape through the other end of the cave.
Li Yang found nothing in the cave and continued searching. He also found nothing in several larger caves nearby. Li Yang was getting anxious. Damn it, where did they hide the Jade Elixir? Was it not on this mountain? Or had that idiot Black Tiger hidden it somewhere else?
"Are you sure this is Black Tiger's den?" Li Yang turned around and questioned Shanpao.
"Yes, this is it." At this moment, Shanpao dared not be negligent in front of Li Yang, and he answered all his questions without reservation.
"Where is nobody?" Li Yang said angrily.
"I...I don't know either..." Shanpao was so helpless he almost cried.
Li Yang snorted coldly and turned back to continue his search. He checked each small cave, but found nothing in the larger ones, so he had to look in the smaller ones. He started with the one with the most people, which seemed to be a brothel. Li Yang was starting to admire Black Tiger; he was truly ingenious, having thought of running a brothel in his own hideout. This solved his men's physical needs, preventing various problems from arising, and ensuring his men wouldn't get arrested for going down the mountain to visit prostitutes, thus avoiding jeopardizing the entire mountain stronghold. It was just a pity for the women they had brought up the mountain.
Chapter 762: Murder Weapon
This Black Tiger was somewhat shrewd. He periodically forced a prostitute to come up the mountain to sell herself, essentially robbing her on the road. Once she was on the mountain, she could never come down; she was trapped in the stronghold, constantly guarded by his henchmen. Although the henchmen would give her a token amount of money each day, it was very little, mostly a few dozen, rarely a hundred. However, many times a day, one woman had to endure the onslaught of a dozen or more men. After all, in such a secluded place, besides shooting and training, there was nothing else to do but sleep with women!
These prostitutes are all unfortunate souls! Li Yang's eyes scanned their cave but he still found nothing. Furious, Li Yang wanted to curse and go in, crippling them all without a second thought.
But suddenly, he made a discovery. It wasn't Yu Tihu, but several people bound and dressed in various fashionable clothes, including a large, imposing Simba! Li Yang was so excited he wanted to shout. He couldn't believe he'd found this big idiot! Yes, he was Yu Tihu's bodyguard. Finding her meant finding Yu Tihu. How could Li Yang not be excited?
Although Simba's martial arts skills were impressive and his fighting prowess was high, he was still no match for Black Tiger and his gang. Li Yang had already informed them that these bastards were all armed. Without a certain level of martial arts skill, one is truly afraid of kitchen knives. Against handguns and other firearms, their skills are utterly useless!
So when Li Yang found Simba tied up in the same way, he wasn't particularly surprised. Overjoyed, Li Yang slapped Shanpao on the head, causing Shanpao to roll his eyes and faint. Li Yang didn't even glance at him before tossing him into a bush, letting him fend for himself—he wouldn't die anyway. However, he wouldn't cause himself any trouble for the time being; he couldn't allow any accidents to happen and had to ensure Yu Tihu's complete rescue.
Instead of rashly attacking the dozen or so armed bandits guarding the gate, Li Yang turned around and started climbing the mountain. Some people said, "Has this guy lost his mind? Why is he climbing a mountain?" Actually, it wasn't that Li Yang had lost his mind, but that he had thought of a better way to solve the current crisis.
He was even more agile and faster than an ape, disappearing into the mountains in the blink of an eye. With the dense forest and bushes as cover, and Li Yang's agility, he climbed to the top of the mountain in just a few minutes.
Standing atop the mountain, feeling the warm breeze, I exclaimed that Yunnan truly lives up to its reputation as a place with spring-like weather all year round. Kunming is even known as the "Spring City." Here, it really is spring-like all year round; even the mountaintop is so comfortable. Actually, it's because his body is too abnormal; he's impervious to heat and cold. If an ordinary person were to come up here, they would definitely be sneezing incessantly, shivering and cursing how damn cold this mountaintop is.
After all, no matter how high the temperature is on land, it will still get cold at the top of the mountain; this is the law of nature. Li Yang stopped feeling hot and started using his X-ray vision to find the cave. Then he slid down the mountainside. The saying goes, "going up is easy, going down is hard," but Li Yang didn't find it too difficult. However, the possibility of tumbling down at any moment made him quite annoyed. But still, it only took a few minutes for him to reach the cave.
However, he didn't jump directly to the cave entrance. Instead, he suddenly stopped, grabbed two stones, and then jumped down with a shout, landing right at the cave entrance hidden behind a large rock. Just as he jumped down, two dark gun barrels suddenly emerged from the cave entrance, and two armed bandits appeared. Their eyes were fierce, filled with surprise and astonishment, and their faces exuded a fierce and thuggish aura. Almost the instant Li Yang jumped down, their gun barrels were pointed at Li Yang's head. They did this very casually and skillfully, indicating that this was not the first time they had done it. They were skilled gunmen among the bandits, otherwise their boss, Black Tiger, wouldn't have sent them here to guard this very important cave entrance.
Upon seeing Li Yang descending from the sky, the two men immediately wanted to roar and question or threaten him. However, just as they opened their mouths, two black lights suddenly flew towards them. They were so fast that they thought they were seeing things, and black dots appeared in their vision. But while they were still confused, they felt a buzzing in their heads, and their vision blurred and went black. They knew nothing more.
"Damn, do these two idiots really think they're so great just because they can use a handgun?" Li Yang kicked the two aside, crouched down, and crawled inside. The pitch-black cave was like daytime to him, making it very easy for him to move around. After the two guards at the entrance were gone, there were no guards in the cave, and he passed through unimpeded. Li Yang quickly and easily made his way to the huge cave in front of him.
"Clap clap clap..."
But Li Yang was immediately shocked by what he saw as soon as he peeked out. A bastard, as black as if he'd been pulled from a coal mine, with his equally black buttocks exposed, was violently ravaging a fair-skinned woman. And he was incredibly sophisticated, not sleeping on a comfortable Simmons bed, but instead pinning the woman against the rock face, ignoring its roughness and sharpness. He spread her legs wide, gripping them with both hands, and stood behind her, thrusting hard, producing loud thuds. The woman screamed in agony. Who the hell could withstand the friction of such tender flesh, especially her breasts, against such hard rock?
What's more, this bastard seemed to have no mercy for women at all. His posture and movements were so fierce, brutal, and sharp that even the most sturdy paddy field couldn't withstand such abuse. Drops of blood formed a patch of bloodstains on the ground, resembling plum petals.
"Damn it! You beast!" Li Yang cursed under his breath. But as soon as he said it, he saw the still rampaging, charcoal-colored man suddenly shudder. He threw aside the delicate-skinned woman, scrambled back, and grabbed a handful of flesh from her chest. He pulled out a pistol, and without even looking, he flicked it towards where Li Yang was hiding. His expression was ruthless and sharp, ready to fire. Just as he turned to aim, Li Yang saw his eyes. They were as ruthless and sharp as a tiger or wolf that had eaten human flesh. Anyone with a weak heart would have wet their pants in fear of that look.
But was Li Yang an ordinary person? So Li Yang was only surprised for a moment, then waved his hand, and a white light flashed. The willow leaf throwing knife was indeed unsheathed. In the next second, it pierced through Hei Dan's arm, and blood splattered everywhere. Hei Dan didn't even groan. The pistol in his hand just fell to the ground with a thud. He rolled on the spot and pounced on the bed. It seemed that his most skilled murder weapon was still on the bed.
Chapter 763: Are you even human?
This gave him a chance to fight back and counterattack against Li Yang. But would Li Yang give him that time? Only an idiot would give him that time. So, almost the instant the throwing knife was fired, Li Yang flashed forward, transforming into a blur, blocking Hei Dan's path. He lightly patted Hei Dan's head with his palm. Hei Dan's whole body trembled, and his muscular body, as strong as an iron tower, instantly stiffened. Li Yang's hand left his head, and with a few more lightning-fast moves, several crisp cracking sounds were heard. The man who had stood upright like a javelin finally groaned and collapsed to the ground. Even the most powerful person can't stand up if their leg bone is broken, right?
At this moment, Li Yang stopped and stopped. He had already broken the enemy's legs, so his remaining hands were even less of a threat.
"You must be Black Tiger?" Li Yang asked casually, arms crossed.
"Who are you? Have you seen me before?" Black Tiger's eyes were bloodshot, radiating a bloodthirsty and cruel light.
"Who I am is unimportant, and I've never seen you before. I just think that since you're so dark-skinned, you must be Black Tiger, right?" Li Yang hadn't just made that simple of a judgment. In this valley, this cave was the largest and most luxuriously furnished, and it was in the best location, leading to an escape route. Moreover, he was hiding here alone with such a tender young woman, and no one was watching or queuing up for her. Apart from a boss like Black Tiger, he didn't think anyone else on this mountain deserved such treatment.
"uh-huh……"
Only then did Li Yang have time to glance at the woman who had been so badly abused by Black Tiger. She was indeed quite beautiful, the most outstanding feature being her fair skin. As the saying goes, fair skin can cover up three flaws. Her face and appearance were only average, but her fair skin added a lot to her charm. However, this was what brought her such a huge calamity. She was on vacation, but unfortunately, she was discovered by Black Tiger and kidnapped, and then became Black Tiger's tool for satisfying his lust.
