"I don't believe you. You dare touch me and see what happens?"
Peng Yong felt an instinctive fear, but he remained defiant. After all, with his father backing him up, he really didn't believe Zhang Lin would dare to kill him.
But when Zhang Lin walked towards him with a knife, he panicked.
"Zhang Lin, what are you doing? Stop right there!"
He masked his fear with angry roars.
However, Zhang Lin's steps were very firm.
"Attack him! Stop him!"
Peng Yong's heart pounded, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead. He dared not gamble, so he quickly called for his men to attack Zhang Lin.
"Anyone who dares to lay a hand on him will be punished the same as Peng Yong!"
Zhang Lin roared.
This sound, as loud and clear as a great bell, resounded in everyone's ears. With the blessing of the [Supreme] effect, some people who wanted to step forward stopped in their tracks.
At this moment, Qiao Ruoxi, Lu Dazhao, Li Junhao and others, along with several neutral parties and hundreds of their subordinates, approached. They stood behind Zhang Lin, coldly watching Peng Yong and his lackeys and men.
No one dared to make a move.
They had the numbers before, but after the big battle, some were dead, some were wounded, and those who weren't injured had exhausted a lot of energy...
How could they possibly be a match for Zhang Lin's forces?
Zhang Lin's men had barely fought; they were all at their peak strength.
"Brother Peng, don't be afraid of him. You are Boss Peng's son. How could he dare to lay a hand on you?" One of Peng Yong's henchmen quickly spoke up to comfort Peng Yong when he saw that things were not going well.
Of course, it was just a consolation.
The lackey himself and his men remained completely unmoved.
The others did the same, all voices of support for Peng Yong, but they stood firm and refused to move an inch.
Apart from Peng Yong's direct subordinates, the rest of them were fence-sitters.
They'll help whoever is stronger.
It's clear that Zhang Lin's side is stronger now, while they just had a major battle and suffered significant losses. If they were to fight Zhang Lin head-on, they would definitely be doomed.
They're all shrewd people; none of them would do anything foolish.
"Yes, with my father around, even the city lord might not dare to kill me!"
Peng Yong failed to notice the change in his subordinates' thoughts, and with the "encouragement" of his lackeys, he regained his confidence.
He stood still, staring at Zhang Lin.
"I'm standing right here. Try touching me and see what happens."
After saying that, Peng Yong still felt uneasy, so he added, "My father is the largest power in the alliance besides Hope City and the Tang Dynasty. If you kill me, the alliance will definitely be thrown into chaos, and the city lord will not forgive you!"
At this moment, Zhang Lin had already arrived in front of Peng Yong.
Whether things become chaotic or not is a matter for later.
"But at this point, you're definitely going to die!"
After saying that, Zhang Lin slashed down with his sword.
Peng Yong's eyes widened. He was a seasoned veteran and could easily see that Zhang Lin's strike was aimed at killing.
"It's your turn. What gives you the right to lay a hand on me?"
He cursed angrily and was about to use his ability to retreat and escape.
But for some reason, he suddenly lost control of his body for a moment, and a second later, he regained control of his body.
But in just that one second, his life or death could be decided.
Peng Yong activated his abilities.
"Pigs swoosh!"
The body suddenly lunged forward, but the head flew backward.
puff!
With the gushing blood.
The headless corpse that had rushed out collapsed to the ground, its flying head falling to the ground as well. On the head, a pair of eyes stared wide open, filled with disbelief.
Peng Yong is dead!
The representatives of the various forces following Peng Yong all showed expressions of horror.
Zhang Lin really dared to kill Peng Yong.
Isn't he afraid of Peng Bing's retaliation?
But at this moment, Peng Yong's headless corpse was right there, and the bloody facts told them that Zhang Lin really dared to kill Peng Yong and was not afraid of Peng Bing's protection.
Peng Yong's direct subordinates began to stir.
They had considered taking action before, but with the intimidation of Qiao Ruoxi, Lu Dazhao, Li Junhao, and others, they dared not make a move.
Moreover, they didn't believe Zhang Lin was really doing anything to Peng Yong.
But now, Peng Yong is really dead.
Once these direct subordinates arrive, they will definitely be held accountable by Peng Bing...
For a moment, Peng Yong's remaining hundred or so direct subordinates became restless.
Some people wanted to kill Zhang Lin to avenge Peng Yong, hoping that this would appease Peng Bing and prevent them from being punished later.
However, at this point, the disparity in strength between the two sides was significantly greater.
For a moment, no one dared to make a move.
“Peng Yong was cowardly and refused to advance, so I killed him. Is there anyone who disagrees?” Zhang Lin’s eyes swept over the crowd, his tone indifferent. “If so, step forward!”
Of course, no one dared to step forward.
Peng Yong's direct subordinates were all angry but dared not speak out.
“If not, then I have a few words to say. Listen carefully.” Zhang Lin smiled faintly and continued, “From today onwards, there will only be one voice in the vanguard army, and that will be my voice. I’ll let you off the hook this time, those of you who followed Peng Yong in causing trouble. But in the future, if I find that you dare to disobey my orders, or outwardly comply but inwardly defy me…”
"hehe……"
"Believe me, you won't be any harder to kill than Peng Yong!"
After he finished speaking, the room fell silent.
Especially the few lackeys who used to follow Peng Yong, their faces turned deathly pale...
The "those who followed Peng Yong in causing trouble" that Zhang Lin was referring to were them.
