Chapter 343: The Bayonet Gang is in Danger

The entire arena fell silent.

Teng Dong Lang's death came as a shock to everyone.

Even the dragonman youngster who killed Teng Dong Lang was no exception.

Looking at the corpse not far away, the dragonman youngster's heart was filled with a sense of unreality.

In the audience area at the edge of the arena.

Lan Zao, Tripleblade, and the others were all stunned.

They had imagined that the dragonman youngster would use his Sword Return Dragon Scale, seize the last chance, and win with difficulty. They never thought that the dragonman youngster would kill Teng Dong Lang!

“Ah, ah, ah!” Men Shi was so excited that he couldn't speak in complete sentences. He could only point at Teng Dong Lang's corpse and stare wide-eyed.

There was someone even more overjoyed than him, and that was Bu Quan.

Bu Quan had jumped out of her seat and was so close to the magic image that she was almost about to dive into it.

“Dead?”

“Teng Dong Lang is dead!”

"Commander Long Fu killed him?

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

She couldn't help but pinch herself, and the pain immediately came. 

The next moment, she was in tears. 

Of course, it wasn't from the pain, but from the joy in her heart! 

What could be more satisfying than revenge? 

Especially seeing the leader of the Bayonet Gang die right before her eyes! 

In the VIP viewing room.

“Impossible.” Bing Xiao also left his seat, the calmness and composure on his face completely disappearing.

He stared intently at the magic image and growled, “This is absolutely impossible!”

“This is fake, it must be fake.”

He had such a big advantage before, but at the last moment, everything took a sudden turn for the worse.

Not only did Teng Dong Lang lose, but he also lost his life.

This was far too different from the previous battle situation, far beyond the comprehension of the higher-ups of the Bayonet Gang.

Xiong Ju, Ban Lan Gen, and the others were all stunned.

Suddenly, Spring Boxer shouted loudly, burst through the door, and rushed out.

The others were in a daze and didn't hear what the Spring Boxer had shouted.

But that shout snapped them out of their stupor.

“Oh God, great Oak Grandfather, what have I seen?” Ban Lan Gen covered his face in panic.

"Am I hallucinating? Is that what's happening?" The human ringleader looked at the others with a hopeful gaze, hoping for an answer.

But Xiong Ju shook his head.

In those few seconds, this fierce fighter of the Bayonet Gang had already turned red-eyed, filled with bloodshot veins. 

He growled softly, “He’s dead! Our gang leader has fallen in battle!” 

The human ringleader’s body swayed as if struck by lightning. 

He collapsed onto his seat, staring at the pool of blood and corpses in the magic image, muttering, “Dead? The gang leader... died just like that?"

“Something's fishy, something's wrong!” the demon hybrid ringleader screamed. "Why did the gang leader suddenly stop at the last moment instead of dodging? He clearly had the ability to do so. And why didn't the Abandoned Person's Shirt block that short spear, even though he had activated it?"

“Someone desecrated this heroic duel. Yes, there must have been outsiders meddling!”

“They saw that the Long Fu had no hope of winning, so they tampered with it.”

“Right, it must be that way!”

“What are we waiting for?” Upon hearing this, Xiong Ju was so angry that his hair stood on end, "Grab your weapons, let's go find Long Fu and ask him about it, and search the scene for evidence!”

In the Bayonet Gang, Xiong Ju respected Teng Dong Lang the most.

Teng Dong Lang's death had a strong psychological impact on Xiong Ju.

Originally, since his own gang leader had died in a heroic duel, Xiong Ju couldn’t say much, only feeling filled with sorrow and pain.

But now, upon hearing that someone had tampered with the sacred heroic duel in his heart, he was filled with rage and wanted to uncover the truth.

Seeing Xiong Ju approach the wall and grab the Gold Flower Hacksaw, the human ringleader hurriedly stopped him: “Wait!”

“What's most important now isn't to uncover the truth.”

“The gang leader is dead, and our Bayonet Gang is in danger!”

These words had no effect on Xiong Ju, but they startled Bing Xiao, who had been staring blankly, as if he had been doused with icy seawater in the dead of winter. 

A strong sense of crisis rose within him, and Bing Xiao snapped back to reality. 

He shouted, “Everyone, stay calm!” 

“Quickly collect the leader's body and return to the Bayonet Gang.”

“I will immediately summon my slave to defend the headquarters!” 

“Until the next gang leader is elected, I will take charge of the entire situation.” 

"Everyone, we must unite. The Bayonet Gang is now in its most dangerous moment.   To overcome this crisis, we must work together!" 

At this critical moment, the former gang leader stepped forward and took charge of the situation.

The other ringleaders turned their attention to him.

Whether it was hatred, anger, confusion, or panic, seeing Bing Xiao take such responsibility, they gradually calmed down.

Seeing the ringleaders show their obedience, Bing Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

The first step was complete.

He had just been worried that his prestige was not enough to lead these people.

After all, they were not his confidants, but Teng Dong Lang's.

The position of gang leader was also quite tempting to these ringleaders

Now it seemed that these ringleaders were still reasonable.

However, the real headache was still there, and it had to be faced with caution and resolved with all efforts.

The Bayonet Gang was already in a bad situation, and they wanted to use this heroic duel to solve their problems.

This was the solution agreed upon by Teng Dong Lang and Bing Xiao.

The Bayonet Gang wanted to fully demonstrate their strength in this duel to stabilize the hearts of the people and revive their prestige.

It was because of this consideration that Teng Dong Lang took advantage of the situation and adopted the Base tactic at the beginning of the battle. The goal was to remain motionless and push Long Fu aside with ease.

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

Who could have predicted this ending?

Even the most daring guess would have been that Long Fu would win and defeat Teng Dong Lang.

Due to Teng Dong Lang's death in battle, the Bayonet Gang's situation immediately fell into an irreparably dire state.

This was the world of the strong.

The Bayonet Gang was able to become the local tyrant and occupy a large amount of resources in Snow Bird Harbor for one main reason: their gang leader was at the gold level.

Otherwise, Bing Xiao would not have voluntarily ceded his position to Teng Dong Lang.

The four gold level experts were the highest-ranking figures in Snow Bird Harbor.

Teng Dong Lang was one of them.

Now that Teng Dong Lang had died in battle, the four highest levels of power were missing a piece, and the balanced political landscape had been disrupted.

“Fortunately, the situation is not the worst.”

“I still have my gold level giant slave, so I can still barely control the situation.”

“However, the Bayonet Gang's territory must be reduced.”

“Only Teng Dong Lang could handle something of this scale when he was alive.”

Thinking of this, Bing Xiao couldn't help but cast a hateful and murderous gaze at the dragonman youngster in the magic image.

It was him.

It was this dragonman who caused the Bayonet Gang to fall into its current situation.

Damn him.

He deserved to die!

Bing Xiao was filled with regret.

If he had ignored the consequences and surrounded and killed the dragonman youngster during the conflict, would he have avoided the current trouble?

“Teng Dong Lang is dead?!”

"My god, the leader of a gang was killed by Long Fu!

“Why didn't he dodge in the end?”

"His breathing was disordered, so he failed to use his battle skills? Well deserved! Such a sinner truly deserves such an end." 

"Snow Bird Harbor is about to erupt into chaos. The Bayonet Gang has lost its strongest combat power; there will undoubtedly be turmoil. I must leave this place of trouble immediately." 

The crowd gradually grew noisy. 

People finally accepted the reality before them.

Some were excitedly chatting, some were discussing their doubts, and others were thinking more long-term, already planning to leave tonight.

It was foreseeable that Snow Bird Harbor would be plunged into turmoil for some time to come.

Teng Dong Lang was dead!

With the fall of a gold level powerhouse, his sudden disappearance and the power vacuum he left behind would trigger fierce competition among all levels and factions.

“Let me in, let me in!” Spring Boxer rushed forward, attracting countless curses, and was eventually stopped at the edge of the arena.

He shouted; his eyes fixed on Teng Dong Lang's body.

The owner of the Snow Bird Dueling Arena glanced at Teng Dong Lang, then scanned the entire arena, and announced loudly: "The winner of this duel is Commander Long Fu."

Countless people cheered in unison.

Many people put aside their discussions and plans to leave, and at this moment, they offered their applause and encouragement to the dragonman youngster.

The members of the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps immediately rushed into the arena and helped their leader up.

But this time was different from last time. The dragonman youngster frowned, his eyes full of doubt.

He did not enjoy this moment of glory that belonged to him, but said to Lan Zao, “Let's go, let's leave here and go back to the ship first.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the closed door of the arena was forced open from the outside.

A group of people barged in.

The arena owner was about to get angry, but when he saw that the person leading the group was the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord, he immediately shut his mouth.

The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord looked at the arena, first confirming Teng Dong Lang's death, then looking at the dragonman youngster.

He congratulated him, "Commander Long Fu, you are truly a fighter! You are a true believer in justice!"

“You actually killed a gold level opponent as a silver level.”

“You have made a name for yourself in one battle!”

“City Lord...” The dragonman youngster was about to respond but saw the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord raise his hand to stop him from continuing.

Then, the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord's voice clearly spread throughout the arena: “I once again declare that the Bayonet Gang is guilty of heinous crimes and is a cancer on Snow Bird Harbor. Only by eradicating this cancer can we bring a truly bright future to this city.”

“Bystanders, do not move rashly. I am here in person only to arrest the relevant gang members!”

"All members of the Bayonet Gang, listen up. Surrendering your weapons is your only way out. If you resist, you will end up like this person."

With that, the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord took a human head out of his spatial storage ring and threw it on the ground.

The skull was huge, with a ferocious expression frozen on its face before death.

It was the head of a giant, exuding a gold level aura.

Seeing such a head, Bing Xiao's face turned pale in an instant. He immediately recognized it as the head of his gold level giant slave!

“The Bayonet Gang is in danger!”

“Run away, break out of the dueling arena first, then scatter and escape.”

“Every man for himself!”

A flash of cruelty flashed in Bing Xiao's eyes as he gave the order in a hoarse voice.
