As soon as Yang Cheng spoke, the entire hall fell silent.
Chen Bingkun and the others looked at Yang Cheng with disbelief.
Did he even know what these two martial arts techniques meant to their Great River Gang?
That means the lifeline of the Great River Gang!
The reason why the Great River Gang was able to grow into one of the six major gangs, and even during the change of dynasties, still maintained its dominance over the vast Huai River region, was because of the support of these two martial arts techniques.
The "Water-Dividing and Wave-Treading Technique" is the core of the Great River Gang's martial arts. Most gang members only know the introductory chapter. Only leaders are qualified to learn the first volume, and only incense masters are qualified to practice the second volume.
Only those who reach the level of Elder or Deputy Leader can study Volumes Three and Four.
This is certainly not because the higher-ups of the Great River Gang are being overly protective of their knowledge, but because not everyone can master these six volumes of the "Water-Dividing and Wave-Treading Technique."
Among the entire Great River Gang, Chen Bingkun is currently the only one who has mastered the "Water-Splitting and Wave-Treading Technique" to its fullest extent, with six volumes.
Meanwhile, among all the past leaders, only the first leader and Chen Bingkun reached the pinnacle of cultivation; the rest could only cultivate up to the fifth volume at most.
The Overturning Sea Wave Palm is a top-tier palm technique that can only be practiced by those who match the "Water-Splitting and Wave-Treading Technique," and it is not something that only the leader of the gang can cultivate.
Even Chen Dongtian, Chen Bingkun's own son, couldn't cultivate this technique, and now Yang Cheng actually wants to borrow it—this is simply a fantasy!
Chen Bingkun stood up abruptly, his face grim, and said in a solemn tone, "Isn't the Grand Commander's move a bit too presumptuous?"
Do you know what these two martial arts techniques mean to my Great River Gang? They mean that martial arts techniques are the lifeblood of my Great River Gang!
"Our Great River Gang can cooperate with the Grand Commander on everything else, but regarding the matter of borrowing martial arts manuals, we are afraid we cannot comply!"
Yang Cheng was playing with a small silver bullet made entirely of sharp edges in his hand, turning it back and forth like a Buddhist rosary.
"Oh? The martial arts technique is the lifeblood of your Great River Gang? Very well, how about I borrow your Great River Gang's life?"
Yang Cheng raised his head and looked at Chen Bingkun expressionlessly, saying, "Over the years, the Dajiang Gang has controlled the canal transport, disregarded human life, bribed government officials, and committed countless evil deeds."
Countless bones are buried right beneath your Great River Gang's headquarters.
A life for a life, a debt for a debt.
No matter how the world changes, this principle will never change.
So, how many lives will it take to pay for the bloodshed your Great River Gang has accumulated over the years?
At this point, Chen Dongtian could no longer sit still. He slammed his hand on the table, shattering the table, which was made of the finest huanghuali wood, into pieces.
"Yang Cheng! I think you've come here today purely to make things difficult for my Great River Gang!"
So what if you are the Grand Commander of the Zhenwu Hall? My Great River Gang has a million members. With a single order, the entire canal transport system will be paralyzed, and the entire Huai River will rise up in rebellion!
"Let's see how long you can hold this position as Grand Commander! The young emperor will probably be the first to hold you accountable!"
The Great River Gang's dominance along the Huai River stemmed from the million canal workers they controlled.
If someone really forces the Dajiang Gang to rebel, the uprising of a million canal workers will be far more powerful than the White Lotus Sect or the Thirty-Six Great Bandits.
Therefore, the Dajiang Gang's strategy can be said to be invincible. Over the years, any official in the imperial court who tried to take action against the Dajiang Gang ended up losing their official position first.
Unfortunately, Chen Dongtian didn't know that Yang Cheng was different from other court officials!
"Trying to use the imperial court to pressure me?"
Yang Cheng laughed loudly: "Do you know who is protecting the Great Zhou Dynasty today? It is I, Yang Cheng!"
However, you guessed one thing right: today I'm here to make things difficult for your Great River Gang!
As soon as Yang Cheng finished speaking, the silver bullet he had been playing with instantly shot out.
Everyone only saw a flash of white light, and before they could even react, Chen Dongtian's forehead was pierced by the silver bullet, and a bloody hole appeared instantly!
Seeing his most cherished only son die so tragically, Chen Bingkun's dark blue aura suddenly erupted, and he slammed a palm towards Yang Cheng, like waves rising from a vast ocean, with incomparably powerful force.
"Yang Cheng! I will make you pay for your crimes in blood!"
The Overturning Wave Palm struck Yang Cheng, its power increasing with each strike, much like Zuo Yuan's divine power, only slower than Zuo Yuan's.
Yang Cheng turned and threw a punch to meet the attack. The crimson aura of killing intent scattered in the wind of his fist, and a shrill, whistling demonic shadow blasted out.
The moment their fists and palms collided, a large burst of qi erupted, instantly tearing everything in the hall apart.
With a deafening roar, Yang Cheng remained motionless, while Chen Bingkun was sent flying more than ten steps backward. The powerful impact caused his right arm to bend, blood dripping down his face, and a large amount of blood gushed from his mouth.
Chen Bingkun is quite strong, having reached the early stage of the Seven Stars realm, comparable to a martial arts grandmaster.
Unfortunately, facing Yang Cheng's overwhelming power, it was simply impossible to compensate for it with just one or two martial arts techniques.
"All members of the Zhenwu Hall are to immediately annihilate the Dajiang Gang, and all high-ranking members must be killed without exception!"
Yang Cheng uttered these words with murderous intent, and the Soul-Severing Spear, shrouded in Yin energy, appeared in his hand. With a thrust, Yin energy soared into the sky!
Chen Bingkun stared at Yang Cheng in horror.
Even though he had already overestimated Yang Cheng, he never expected that Yang Cheng would be so strong, even to the point of making him despair!
He was severely injured in a single move. Just what kind of monster is Yang Cheng?
Actually, this is also Chen Bingkun's fault for being in the Dajiang Gang for too long, so long that he no longer knows what the outside world of gangsters is like.
