"So, Brother, since you've already punished me, is everything over?"
"Can I go back now?"
Tsumon took a long time to recover, staring intently at Ye Cangtian and speaking cautiously.
Judging from the other party's words, he seemed to be a person who followed the rules and had reasons for his actions. Now, the other party should have no reason to act, right?
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and said mischievously, "Don't be in a hurry to leave. The real highlight is coming. I'm going to start robbing you. Hand over all the crystals you've acquired along the way."
Tsumon's face instantly turned pale.
To show their sincerity in cooperation, the Rattle Snake mercenary group had handed over all the crystals they obtained to Shinobu for safekeeping. After the ruins, they would split them fifty-fifty.
After all, they and Shinobu were already tied together. If Shinobu played any dirty tricks, they could expose Shinobu's actions in the ruins to the world.
At that time, Shinobu would surely face destruction.
Therefore, they were not worried at all.
This portion of crystals was to be kept by Tsumon and Ozawa equally, so that even if one of them met with an accident, they would still have half of the earnings.
Of course, unless both of them met with an accident.
This was why he didn't want to hand them over.
If he went back and the crystals were gone, the Rattle Snake mercenary group would easily suspect that he had embezzled them, thus causing conflict.
But then he looked at Ye Cangtian's hand. At some point, he had started playing with a dagger, his gaze fixed on a certain spot below him, revealing a wicked smile.
In an instant, Tsumon felt a chill between his legs.
He quickly took out the bag containing the crystals and threw it over.
Crystals could be obtained again through robbery or by killing stone figures, but if that thing was gone, he wouldn't be a man!
Ye Cangtian caught the bag, opened it, and glanced inside. The next moment, his eyes widened.
The large, medium, and small white crystals, totaling over a hundred, were even more than what he had obtained.
Robbery and ambush were indeed the fastest ways to acquire crystals!
No wonder people always said: "Killing and arson bring wealth!"
Ye Cangtian muttered to himself, then said, "Alright, my business is done. You can..."
"Hey! You're just going to let them go like that?"
Before Ye Cangtian could even say the word 'go', Xuan Liu behind him, with wide eyes, questioned him.
"Oh, right, right, look at my memory!"
"Don't leave yet! Xuan Liu, the beauty, still needs to settle accounts with you!"
Ye Cangtian heard this, heavily patted his forehead, and then stopped 'Tsumon' and the others.
Damn it!
What do you mean I need to settle accounts!
I'm a cripple right now, how can I settle accounts!
Xuan Liu was almost driven mad. Although Tsumon had lost a fist, her leg was also injured, making it difficult for her to move.
If they were to continue fighting, she might not be at an advantage. Xuan Qi saying this was clearly pushing her into a fire pit and definitely trying to kill her!
"You're not interfering?"
Tsumon looked at Ye Cangtian with confusion, somewhat at a loss. Were they rivals in the Dark Association?
It must be!
Although Xuan Qi had intervened for Xuan Liu earlier, the force of the blow was light, more like an insult to Xuan Liu.
"In principle, no," Ye Cangtian said calmly.
"Good!"
The other party's words further confirmed his thoughts. Tsumon gritted his teeth and finally nodded.
Now that Xuan Liu's leg was injured, movement and evasion were difficult. He had only lost one hand. Although he couldn't attack with full force, he was much more agile than Xuan Liu.
Coupled with his strength, as long as he hit Xuan Liu once, it would likely determine the outcome.
"Bastard!"
"You really don't care about my life or death!"
On the other side, seeing Tsumon approach menacingly, Xuan Liu suddenly became agitated.
She never expected such a result.
However, upon closer thought, she could accept it to some extent. After all, she had fallen out with Xuan Qi before, so why would he save her?
"Xuan Liu, I don't do things that don't benefit me."
Just as Xuan Liu was bracing herself to fight, Ye Cangtian's lazy voice came again.
Bastard!
Xuan Liu immediately cursed him mentally. The other party saying this meant he was interested in the crystals she had obtained.
So she gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "Fine, I agree to your previous conditions!"
Helplessly, Xuan Liu had to agree. Losing some crystals was better than losing her life.
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly, did not make a move, but instead asked:
"What about the Dark Association side?"
"Don't worry, I definitely won't say anything about this!"
Xuan Liu immediately understood Xuan Qi's intentions and said through gritted teeth.
The other party was likely worried about being punished by their superiors for robbing a fellow member. For the sake of her life, she could endure it.
Besides, some things needed to be done personally to feel the thrill of revenge, so she didn't intend to report it.
After all, the tables might turn, and Xuan Qi might fall into her hands someday!
"Deal!"
Ye Cangtian laughed heartily, then glanced at Tsumon, whose expression was rapidly changing between them, and grinned, "Ahem, well... I'm sorry."
"You, you can't kill me! You just said that if I give you the crystals, you'll let me live."
Seeing Ye Cangtian getting closer, Tsumon said urgently.
"Are you an idiot?"
"Didn't you hear that we just made a new transaction!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at Tsumon with annoyance and drew his dagger.
To be honest, even after robbing these people from Shinobu, Ye Cangtian had no intention of letting them go.
The Rattle Snake mercenary group and the Eastern Shinobu were troublemakers and wild dogs in the ruins. They dared to ambush any force.
So it was best to eliminate some of them to prevent them from ambushing the Dragon Group.
Besides, he was currently in the identity of Xuan Qi. Even if Shinobu sought revenge later, it would be attributed to the Dark Association.
"Damn it, people from the Dark Association are really not good!"
"I'll fight you to the death today!"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Tsumon roared and charged directly at Ye Cangtian.
His fist, as large as a clay pot, gathered power in a very short time. He used all his might.
Ye Cangtian sidestepped slightly, dodged the man's punch, and then swiftly moved, directly grabbing Tsumon's neck.
With a crack, without any hesitation, Ye Cangtian directly twisted Tsumon's neck and then threw his body aside like trash.
Boom boom boom...
Just as he finished dealing with Tsumon, Ye Cangtian was about to deal with the mercenaries when, at that moment, a series of booming sounds came.
Perhaps the noise from this side had attracted the attention of the stone figures.
What luck!
Ye Cangtian muttered to himself. After all, with Xuan Liu present, not eliminating the mercenaries would mean leaving behind potential trouble, and he would surely be blamed by Zi Long upon his return.
But now, with the stone figures surrounding them, it became natural for him not to intervene. It was perfect to leave a few survivors to spread the word.
The next moment, Ye Cangtian directly approached Xuan Liu, picked her up, and quickly retreated from the scene.
