Chapter 276: Sweeping the Seven Bandits with One Sword
It was already very difficult to eat beef in this era. In order to avoid waste, the so-called braised beef was completely different from what people eat in later generations. The beef of this era included skin and bones. The requirement proposed by Song Tianen was indeed very laborious, but it was not impossible to do.

Boss Chen nodded and said, "Boys, go and cut ten pounds of the ones that Master Song has selected."

"I don't want those guys to do it, you do it! I heard that your boning knife is really good, you can separate flesh and bones without wasting anything, I want to see it for myself."

Hearing the request from the cold-faced man, Boss Chen was slightly stunned. Those were all old stories. He had done these rough jobs when he first entered the underworld and worked as a helper for others. But now he was one of the seven great bandits. Although his status was not comparable to Su Mengzhen and his ilk, he was also considered a local tyrant.

It was obvious that he was being treated like a servant, which was a huge insult to his self-esteem.

However, Boss Chen also knew that the person in front of him was not someone he could afford to offend, so he suppressed his annoyance and said, "Mr. Song is right. I will cut it myself."

In a short while, under the arrangement of Boss Chen, a dish was brought in, and a full ten kilograms of braised beef with skin and bones was brought in.

Boss Chen was seen wearing an apron, with a strange-shaped knife in each hand that was polished to a shiny finish. This was the knife that made Boss Chen famous - the knife for bleeding, mincing meat and chopping bones!

"Master Song, please watch!"

Perhaps as if to demonstrate, Boss Chen tapped the table lightly, and more than ten pounds of beef swung up easily.

He waved his hands like the wind: "Skin and chop the meat eighteen times!"

Swish, swish, swish, in just a few seconds, ten pounds of braised beef with skin and bones were neatly placed on the dining table.

All the meat on the bones was removed.

The heroes around him cheered one by one: "Boss Chen, what a beautiful swordsmanship."

"If this knife technique were to hit a person, he would be chopped into a skeleton in an instant."

Boss Chen bowed his hands left and right with a smile on his face: "Admit it, admit it!"

Then he came to Song Tianen with the beef in his hand with utmost respect.

Unexpectedly, Song Tianen flipped over the beef and said, "I know it's buffalo as soon as I smell it! I don't eat buffalo meat!"

Looking at the beef rolling all over the ground, Boss Chen's face turned black.

"It's intentional, this is absolutely intentional!" Boss Chen shouted wildly in his heart, but his face did not show any expression, and his smile even became more friendly.

"Master Song, you don't know that within a 300-mile radius of Yanziwu, there has never been a yellow cattle. If you think the taste of buffalo is bad, I recommend our restaurant's specialty, braised donkey meat. As the saying goes, dragon meat in the sky is better than donkey meat on the ground."

Song Tianen waved his hand: "Stop talking nonsense, and do another set according to the standard just now. Of course, you will do it yourself."

Compared to the first time, Boss Chen's move this time was faster, as if he had brought his own emotions into it. Of course, no one cheered this time, simply because everyone felt that the atmosphere was not right.

Some smart people had already quietly left the restaurant and escaped.

A clang!
The donkey meat that Boss Chen had taken great pains to present was casually overturned by Song Tianen just like before.

Boss Chen, who had been suppressing his emotions, could no longer control his facial muscles. His facial muscles kept twitching and shaking, and he blurted out word by word: "I think Mr. Song is not here to have a meal, but to cause trouble for me. Although my martial arts skills are not as good as Mr. Song's, I can still splash you with blood!"

Song Tianen sneered and pointed at the pot of donkey meat on the ground: "It would be fine if it was real donkey meat, but Boss Chen, you actually served a pot of human flesh. No wonder Boss Chen's business is getting bigger and bigger. It turns out that this is a shady shop, doing such a profitless business?"

Zhao Shirong, who had been silent the whole time, frowned and said, "Yes! There is something wrong with this meat. Although you used all kinds of spices to marinate it, it is still difficult to cover up the disgusting fishy smell. It is definitely not something that ordinary livestock can have."

As soon as these words came out, the restaurant suddenly fell silent! Everyone stared at the so-called "donkey meat" that rolled on the ground in a strange way.

Of course at this time, some guys who had eaten the same kind of donkey meat before had already started to turn pale and were holding their throats and vomiting.

Boss Chen's face instantly turned livid. He tried to remain calm, but his voice was trembling slightly. "Mr. Song, you can't say that. Although I am not a good man, I would not do such a thing that is against the will of heaven and earth! If you are not satisfied, you can just leave. Why do you have to slander me like this?"

Several waiters behind him even shouted, "That's right, sir, you can't wrongly accuse a good person without any evidence?"

"Hahaha! What I, Song Tianen, said is the evidence! If I'm not wrong." Song Tianen pointed his finger at the ground and said, "There should be a secret room underground. Those people you tied up or knocked over should be there now. If you're brave enough, open it for everyone to see."

The secret was revealed in one sentence, and Boss Chen's face turned black. Although he said nothing, he clenched the skinning, meat-cutting and bone-cutting knife tightly in his hand, and the veins in his hands burst.

"Why not? Let me help you!" Song Tianen tapped the ground lightly with his foot.

The sword energy burst out from the toe sword.

boom!
A hole half a foot wide was blasted out in the ground.
"Woo woo!" The sudden noise caused different wailing sounds from men, women, young and old to be heard in the cave.

The guests in the tavern bent down to look curiously.

But the scene that came into view next made everyone present look horrified, and some even held their stomachs and vomited continuously.

It was because there were more than a dozen living people imprisoned in the underground cell, but more were human bodies hung on hooks, bleeding, with limbs hanging limply, like a series of cruel paintings, which looked even more eerie and terrifying under the dim candlelight.

Some of these bodies had been stripped of their skin, revealing pale or purple flesh, while others had their limbs and internal organs removed. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and corruption! It was simply like hell.

Without further ado, this shop was already confirmed to be a real black shop. Boss Chen, one of the seven major bandits, was also decisive. Seeing that the matter was exposed, he immediately used his wonderful body skills to evade first.

As for taking action against Song Tianen?

Don't be ridiculous. A weakling like him is okay at dealing with ordinary warriors, but if he dares to attack a strong man who can smash the entire ground with one kick without affecting the tavern, do you believe that he will be beheaded on the spot?

Now he could only hope that their attention was focused on the cellar, while he urged all his true energy to dodge first and run as far as he could. People thought that Boss Chen's kung fu was all in his pair of bone-cutting knives, but in fact his real kung fu was in his feet. When he was young, he was known as the meteor legs, which were as fast as lightning without a trace. He used this kung fu to harm countless young girls.

This guy is decisive and his tactics are also correct.

But the next second, the pair of fast legs that he was so proud of disappeared. No matter how fast he was, he could not be faster than the sword energy!

An invisible sword energy twisted and turned, and in less than one hundredth of a second it caught up with Boss Chen, who had already run ten feet away, and cut off his limbs, turning him into a human stick.

Then Song Tianen used his dragon-catching power to grab the beast from a distance, and stroked its limbs with the hot Nine Yang True Qi in his hand. The piercing sizzling sound accompanied by the smell of burnt human flesh stimulated the sound of vomiting among the people present.

Of course, this was also accompanied by Boss Chen's extremely painful scream: "Kill me! Give me a quick death."

Song Tianen pinched the back of his neck and said, "Don't worry, I will kill you, but not now. Wait until you lead me to the location of your Yanziwu!"

Yanziwu covers an area of ​​800 miles in radius, with large lakes connected to small lakes and reed marshes one after another like a maze. If there is no one to lead you, it is easy to get lost in it.

Although Song Tianen could fly, the lake was too big, and even if he could fly it would take a very long time to explore it. He also had to worry about these guys getting wind of the news and running away early. In short, Song Tianen didn't have time to play cat and mouse with these people.

As one of the seven major bandits, Boss Chen must know the exact coordinates of Yanziwu, otherwise a scum like him would have no reason to survive.

"Remember to report to the police and rescue these survivors!" Song Tianen looked around, and all the diners he stared at nodded rapidly. As for the waiters who were accomplices, there was no need for them to live and pollute the air.

"Fire snakes spit out their tongues" Song Tianen sent out a Fire Cloud Palm, and more than a dozen flaming poisonous snakes flew out of his hand and then poured into the mouths of the waiters.

In an instant, these people turned into human torches, screaming non-stop~
Turned into pieces of human-shaped charcoal.

Zhao Shirong came to Song Tianen, shook her head and said, "Song Lang is still soft-hearted. These scums should be skinned and fed to grass."
-
It is said that Yanziwu was a large fortress like a city, which brought together pirates and bandits from all over the world.

The second half of this sentence is correct. Under Shen Huchan, Yanziwu has six major bandits, thirty-six ship owners, thousands of heroes and their tens of thousands of families. It is indeed a giant underworld organization that is a scourge to the area.

But the first half is totally wrong. Yanziwu is a city, but it is also a moving city, a floating city on the sea composed of more than 50 huge ships of 10,000 tons. They are scattered like stars in the vast waters of the rivers and lakes. They are not only the shelter of Yanziwu, but also the cornerstone of its tyranny. Whenever night falls and the lights are dim, these huge ships slowly gather together to form a magnificent water city. When the dawn breaks, they break up into pieces and disappear in the vast water mist, making it difficult to track their whereabouts.

There is singing and dancing on the flagship tonight, just because everyone is celebrating the fact that the boss Shen Huchan beheaded Tang Zhan, the number one killer in the killer world who has troubled Yanziwu for many years with a single sword strike!

It was also to celebrate the banquet and invite Wang Xiaoshi, a fellow disciple of the big boss.

Both of them are disciples of Wei Qingqing, who founded Zizaimen.

The Zizai Sect, the Quanli Gang, the Xuehe Sect, and the Shuzhong Tang Sect are known as the four pillars of the Central Earth martial arts world.

Although compared with the other three sects, the number of disciples is relatively small, but each generation of disciples are people with extremely strong cultivation.

The founder of the Natural Gate was Wei Qingqingqing, the seventh-generation disciple of the once-powerful Zhanjing Hall.

Wei Qingqingqing is a rare chivalrous man. Together with his master Ding Yufeng, he has mastered the Qianyi technique which combines sword and knife moves. He also created the Hate Fist, Sorrow Palm, Love Fist, Hate Palm, and the Qinggong Driving the Rain Footwork.

But his greatest achievement was that he trained four famous disciples!
The lazy and disabled master Ye Aichan, the heavenly-clothed layman Xu Xiaoyi, the six-five divine lord Zhuge Zhengwo, and the thirteenth limit of Yuan.

Master Shen Huchan was a disciple of the lazy and disabled master Ye Aichan, while Wang Xiaoshi was a disciple of the Tianyi lay Buddhist Xu Xiaoyi; so it is not wrong to say that they were from the same school. In addition, Shen Huchan is obviously older than Wang Xiaoshi, so Wang Xiaoshi should call him "senior brother".

The ceremony began with brilliant fireworks. There were magicians from the Western Regions, dwarves from the East, and of course animal trainers from the northern border.

The night was as dark as ink, and the lights on the Yanziwu flagship were brilliant, reflecting the excited and enthusiastic faces. The music was melodious, the dancing shadows were dancing, some people were drinking wine, some were feasting, and of course some were holding beautiful women captured from nearby towns and touching them all over.

It was a chaotic mess for a while!

This group of people called themselves righteous bandits and advertised that they were robbing the rich to help the poor. However, there were not so many rich people in the world for them to rob. These pirates did not engage in production, so such luxurious materials were naturally looted.

In fact, it is still an area of ​​800 miles in radius with Yanziwu as the center, which is equivalent to monopolizing an entire state and relying on the people of the state to support itself. The state capital near Yanziwu has long been ruined beyond recognition.

If you ask the people living near Yanziwu what the deepest call is, of course it is to eradicate Yanziwu!

Shen Huchan stood at the bow, wearing a black robe, his brows revealing an aura of majesty without even being angry. He held a long sword that was shining with cold light. It was the magic blade Ananda that he had used to kill Tang Zhan. At this moment, it was lying quietly in his hand, as if it was also sharing this glory.

"Brother, I am so lucky to drink with you today." Wang Xiaoshi, dressed in a green shirt and smiling, raised his cup to greet Shen Huchan. His eyes showed admiration for his brother's achievements. He thought that his senior brother had built up a huge power after more than ten years of debut, while he was still a nobody in the martial arts world and even had to save money.

Shen Huchan clinked glasses with Wang Xiaoshi absentmindedly.

Others were singing and dancing, but he seemed to be worried. Wang Xiaoshi said quickly: "Brother Shen, you seem to be a little uneasy."

Shen Huchan shook his head and did not answer.

Because no one would believe him even if he said it out loud. He, who had always been crazy, was actually worried about his own fate at this moment.

His mind was distracted, and he seemed to recall the encounter with the commoner god in the state capital a few days ago.

"A strange man, a strange appearance, a strange fate. Today there will be a great disaster. You must bow your head when you should, otherwise you will be cut by the knife and die, and you will not have a good end!"

Shen Huchan silently repeated those words in his heart. Every word was like a sharp blade, leaving deep marks in his heart. He thought that he had acted uprightly all his life. Although he was a bandit, he also adhered to the principle of "thieves also have their own code of conduct" and he thought that he had no regrets in his conscience. But why did this divine figure make such an assertion about him?

At this moment, his heart seemed to be covered with a layer of gloom, and even the wine in his hand no longer tasted fragrant.
