Chen Xiaobei had won the Pure Yang Sword of Talisman after snatching Jiang Jiya’s Red Envelope in the chat group barely hours ago.
He had no idea how powerful it was – however, with Pure Yang attributes it should not be too hard to kill an evil spirit.
*Shing!*
The wooden sword rang like a metal sword, before becoming completely engulfed in a stream of seven colored flames. As if a phoenix rising from the ashes, the plain and dull looking wooden sword transformed into a Seven-Color Divine Sword! Its glow instantly removed the thick Yin Qi in the air, and everyone in the casino were relieved with a warm and gentle sensation.
Still, they were shocked to see the scene that welcomed them as the mist cleared from their eyes!
“Oh, god! Is that Chen Xiaobei some kind of God? How did he transform that wooden sword into a Divine Sword?”
“He is a God! Chen Xiaobei is a God! Now I know why we fail!”
“God Chen! We know we are at fault!”
Every Black Gang member suddenly believed that they have offended a God and began to kneel down in worship.
Mr. Ghost was down on his knees as well, though under different circumstances.
“Argh… Young man, mercy… Big brother, boss… Please, let me go…” The evil spirit was in agony on the floor. The Seven-Colored light from the sword had rendered him powerless, and smoke soon started to billow from his body. He would be destroyed eventually even if Chen Xiaobei did not slash him with the sword.
“Hehe… We could have talked about it if you had begged for your life earlier. It’s too late now!” Chen Xiaobei shrugged coldly. The Seven-Colored light returned the Divine Sword as he raised the sword, and Chen Xiaobei slashed at the spirit with the speed of a plummeting meteor!
*Shiiing!*
A sharp noise rang beside every pair of ears in the casino, and everything soon went back to normal.
The Divine Sword was gone!
The lights in the casino stopped flickering!
Mr. Ghost had been erased from this world!
“Disappeared! The Divine Sword disappeared… The horrible feeling is gone as well…”
“Did God Chen manage to kill that evil spirit?”
“Great! Great! We’re saved! God Chen almighty!”
“God Chen! Please forgive us… We shouldn’t go against you… Forgive us please…”
One by one, the Black Gang associates who had some idea of what transpired began to worship Chen Xiaobei and confessing their sins. They now believed that going against him was the same as going against a god!
“All of you! Shut up! I’m no god!”
Chen Xiaobei felt odd being worshiped, and he still need to explain the existence of that Divine Sword to the crowd.
“I’m just a man who happened to practice some Taoism.” He said. “That Divine Sword was a gift from someone really powerful, and you fellow will get me into trouble if you keep on spewing rubbish!”
“Yes… Yes… Yes… We won’t do that anymore…”Everyone nodded; none of them dared to disobey him now.
“Xiaobei is so awesome…” Murong Xiaoyao and Wenyuan were holding hands like sisters, their beautiful eyes shining like crazy fans at him.
“My Bro Bei is damn awesome!!!” Fire Boss was thrilled to the max.
“Xiaobei is a demigod! Boss Tian has definitely picked the right person to take his place!” Third Elder and the five old core members agreed. Right now, Chen Xiaobei was a symbol of hope for their faction and they could not wait to see what he had to offer in the future.
Meanwhile, Xiangyu did not say a thing, although his tensed expression was gone – replaced by a hearty warm smile.
Only one person in the casino started to scream hysterically like a lunatic.
“Mr. Ghost… Where are you??!! Come out! Kill Chen Xiaobei!!! He is still alive! You can’t walk away with an unfinished job! Mr. Ghost! Kill him!”
Qiu Hairui’s mind was truly lost. He could not accept that his perfect plan was in complete tatters – and that Mr. Ghost whom he had pinned all his hopes on was defeated by Chen Xiaobei without much fuss! Anyone else would have went insane too!
“Chen Xiaobei! I’ll kill you!” Consumed by sheer rage and unable to think straight, Qiu Hairui charged at Chen Xiaobei.
*Slap! *
Chen Xiaobei landed his palm on him without a word. The immense power behind it sent Qiu Hairui flying until he landed beside Gu Caozhuo.
“Argh…” Qiu Hairui turned his head and puked a mouthful of blood and several teeth. A red palmprint soon appeared on his really-swollen face.
“Mr. Chen… Mercy…”
Seeing that all hope was lost, Gu Caozhuo quickly knelt and begged for forgiveness. He was utterly petrified and would not even dare to act cocky anymore even if someone lent him ten thousand guts.
“Shut your trap! I’m going to count all the crap the two of you have done!” Chen Xiaobei glared at them with an icy stare.
Gu Caozhuo quickly covered his mouth, not daring to mouth another word.
“Those who used to work for Boss Tian, come forward!” Chen Xiaobei shouted as Third Elder and the five elderly key members went to stand behind him.
Those people he called for had a foreboding feeling, but they did not have the courage to disobey Chen Xiaobei’s order. Soon, around two hundred people stepped up and stood behind Gu Caozhuo and Qiu Hairui.
“I think you know what I’m about to say!” Chen Xiaobei said solemnly. “Our earth is covered by the light of the sun and the moon, and so we should always be loyal to the people who cared for us.”
“However, you lot had forgotten how Boss Tian protected your ilk when you first joined the faction! What’s more, you banded together and came up with a plan to betray him!”
“Now, there will be consequences! All of you here will receive the punishment every single one of you deserve and live as a warning to our new recruits! Third Elder, please!”
Chen Xiaobei spread his hands and walked to the back, while Third Elder nodded and went up front. Taking out a paper from his pocket, the elderly man began to list out names of every former comrade and their appropriate punishment.
“Fuqiang, betrayal, and according to house rule you will cut off three of your own fingers! Hu Dingang, converted by other traitors to betray the faction, cut off one of your own fingers! Huang Boshan, convincing many others to betray our brethren, cut off your left arm…”
“Do you want me to do it? Or are you going do it yourselves?” Chen Xiaobei narrowed his eyes upon seeing that those traitors were not executing their own sentences.
An unquestionable authority quickly wrecked any doubts the traitors had.
“No, Mr. Chen… We can do it ourselves…”
