The look that came from him was as if he were staring at a dead man...
Song Hua furrowed his brows slightly, his gaze flickering as he checked his surroundings. He confirmed that there were no ambushes and that the two young men before him hadn't reached the Meridian Opening Realm.
So why, then, was this young man still so calm and composed? It was as if he had no fear of him at all.
Behind Song Hua, over a hundred of his subordinates had arrived and stood behind him, with two deputy gang leaders flanking him on either side. However, their expressions were somewhat displeased. They furrowed their brows, not because of anything else, but because the smoke from the fire ahead was choking and uncomfortable.
Song Hua himself was also feeling uneasy, but he didn't dwell on it for long. He bellowed, "Since you two refuse to reveal your identities, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
With that, Song Hua clenched his fists and was ready to strike.
"Hmm? What's going on?" At that moment, Song Hua suddenly felt something strange in his head. He immediately stopped and began to sense it more carefully. Soon, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Everyone hold your breath! There's the scent of mind-altering drugs in the smoke!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Hua held his breath and began circulating his star force to control the spread of the mind-altering smoke in his body. However, even so, he could still feel a wave of weakness spreading in his mind.
The mind-altering powder that Hunter Liu had created was not something they could resist.
Even though Song Hua's cultivation had reached the second stage of the Meridian Opening Realm, once the mind-altering drug entered his body, no matter how much he struggled, it would still overpower him.
Song Hua reacted quickly, and due to his immense strength, even though he had inhaled some of the drug, he didn't collapse immediately.
However, the others weren't so fortunate. As soon as Song Hua shouted, all of Tianlang Gang's over a hundred members, including the two deputy gang leaders at the Meridian Opening Realm, collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Fighting to maintain his focus despite the growing weakness in his mind, Song Hua waved his hand to disperse the thick smoke around him. He glared at Hunter Liu, whose face was still partially covered by a cloth, and growled, "Who are you? Why are you attacking my Tianlang Gang?"
Hunter Liu, with an expression of disdain, replied flatly, "Songxia, Hunter Liu."
"You... you're from Songxia Village?" Song Hua's expression changed slightly, shocked.
Hunter Liu said, "Surprised?"
In that moment, Song Hua understood why Hunter Liu had come. His body trembled, his gaze shifted, and he suddenly shouted angrily, "Didn't I tell you I wouldn't ask for your village's graveyard? Why are you still causing trouble?"
Hunter Liu sneered and asked, "Really not asking for it?"
Song Hua felt a little guilty and surprised, but still firmly said, "Of course not!"
But as soon as he spoke, the smile on Hunter Liu's face was replaced by boundless fury and killing intent. He shouted, "Bullshit! Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"
Under Hunter Liu's furious shout, Song Hua immediately wilted. His face changed color, and his heart filled with regret, but feeling the weakness in his mind, he dared not make a move.
Song Hua understood that if he fought now, he would only be able to use about 30% of his usual strength. In desperation, he forced a smile and said, "This has nothing to do with us. It's all the Skeleton Gang's doing. They forced us to do this. If you're going to look for someone, go find them!"
"The Skeleton Gang, huh? Hmph, although I don't know what dealings you have with them, if you think you can slaughter over three hundred villagers from Songxia Village, then you're doomed to be destroyed," Hunter Liu sneered with fury, "Don't worry, Tianlang Gang will be the first, and none of the Skeleton Gang will escape."
Song Hua was about to explain further, but Hunter Liu didn't even look at him anymore. He turned his head to look at Liu Huihui and stared at him, saying, "Huihui, if you don't want the villagers of Songxia to suffer, pick up your knife and kill them all!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Huihui was stunned for a moment. Then, with determination in his eyes, he turned his gaze to the fallen people...
