"Who are you people? This is a private estate. Outsiders, leave immediately, or else..."
Four robust men at the entrance gatehouse started shouting loudly as they noticed the arrivals stepping out of two cars. However, their words were cut short as they recognized the one-armed Scorpion and Rose's group.
"Scorpion?" The four of them exclaimed in shock.
"Open the gate!" Scorpion's voice was cold. At this point, he just wanted Billy and the others not to flee when confronted. As long as they dared to enter the estate, he could finally avenge his severed arm. He had already figured out how he would handle them after capturing them. He would make sure they suffered worse than death.
Soon, as they reached the courtyard square, footsteps echoed, and around nearly five hundred men emerged from all directions, converging on them. Facing the sea of people, both Rose and Elder Power's expressions changed simultaneously. Although they had witnessed grand spectacles before, venturing into Lord Buddha's stronghold with just five people was something they had never done.
"Rose, you're quite audacious!" A bald man walked forward, his face fierce.
He pointed his knife at Rose. "You not only dared to cut off Scorpion's arm, but you also brought four others straight here like this. I have to say, I'm quite impressed!"
After speaking, his tone turned cold. "Release Scorpion immediately, or I'll chop all five of you into minced meat and feed it to the dogs!"
"Enough with the intimidation. Call Lord Buddha out." Rose took a deep breath to calm herself.
"Ha, you want to meet Lord Buddha?" The bald man sneered. "Then you should ask my knife first!"
Swoosh!
Immediately, a gust of force erupted from Stout's hand, creating a cutting sound through the air. The next moment, the bald man's arm and his large knife fell to the ground simultaneously, blood spraying wildly.
"Ah..." The bald man let out a miserable cry.
"Now, does your knife agree?" Stout asked nonchalantly.
"How dare you chop off my arm? I'll skin you alive today!" After a brief moment to recover, the bald man howled hysterically, "Attack, kill them! Kill them now!"
Everyone brandished their knives and clubs, rushing forward, fierce and menacing. They didn't even consider that Scorpion was still in their grasp.
Stout raised his hand again, releasing a palm strike that swept towards the approaching crowd like a hurricane. After the gust of wind passed, the dozens of people at the front were all lifted into the air and crashed to the ground. They spat out mouthfuls of blood upon impact, either dead or grievously injured. These hooligans of the underground world had blood on their hands, having killed innocent people. Their deaths would barely even suffice, and Stout wasn't going to show them mercy.
Witnessing this scene, the surrounding bystanders couldn't help but gasp. They involuntarily stopped in their tracks, fear etched on their faces. Rose and Elder Power exchanged a glance, both of them registering shock in each other's eyes. Once again, they had underestimated the strength of these three individuals. Sweeping away dozens of people with a single strike was undoubtedly the power of a mid-to-late-stage Battle God powerhouse.
"Who... Who are you guys?" The bald man trembled, his entire body shaking as he asked amidst the pain of his severed arm.
"Amber Simian, go inform Lord Buddha. You can't stop them!" Scorpion shouted loudly, shocked once more. He felt a terrible premonition that something significant was about to happen today.
Just then, more footsteps were heard, and over twenty men and women emerged from the back of the estate. Leading them was a man around fifty, thick brows and eyes, a rosy complexion. He held a pipe in one hand, with an emerald ring on his thumb. A hint of cold light occasionally flickered in his eyes. Behind him were more than twenty people. Apart from the four burly men trailing him, the others all donned peculiar outfits. Their expressions varied, but they all exuded an aura of martial proficiency, clearly martial artists, and not the kind-hearted ones.
Seeing them, Billy narrowed his eyes slightly. Just as Rose had said, this was indeed a place steeped in filth.
"Lord Buddha!" As soon as they spotted the leader, all the hooligans shouted in unison.
"It's been three days, and you've grown quite daring!" Lord Buddha's gaze swept across the people on the ground before turning to Rose. "It seems like Rose you have found yourself a new backer?"
