CHAPTER 178: CHAPTER 176: FORBIDDEN ZONE!

"Talk nicely?" Scarface North’s face twitched with anger, looking at his subordinates crawling on the ground, he said in a low voice, "You hurt so many of my men and still want me to talk nicely with you?"

Xiao Tian asked directly, "Do you know someone named Fan Ming? He mentioned this place to me before."

Scarface North froze for a moment, then promptly raised his knife, saying coldly, "Fan Ming? I don’t know him, even if I did, I wouldn’t tell you! You hurt so many of my brothers, don’t think you’ll walk away alive today! Otherwise, how can my Motorcycle Gang survive?"

After speaking, Scarface North locked his gaze on Xiao Tian’s neck, the sharp glint of his machete flashing as he swung fiercely.

Whoosh!

With one strike, Xiao Tian dodged nimbly.

Seeing Scarface North make his move, those subordinates lying on the ground seemed to forget their pain, expressions filled with joy.

"Look, the boss is acting, this arrogant Huaxia person is completely overwhelmed and cannot fight back!"

"This Huaxia person is dead for sure, the boss has never lost against anyone!"

The subordinates gazed at Scarface North’s figure with eyes full of anticipation and admiration; to them, Scarface North was their War God!

As the battle proceeded, Scarface North increasingly sensed something was amiss.

Though he appeared to be dominant, always suppressing the Huaxia person in front of him, he never actually hit him!

This Huaxia person was effortlessly dodging, seeming dangerous, yet always evading his attacks! Making every strike miss.

Swish, swish, swish.

Scarface North swung his machete, each strike accompanied by a fierce gust, confident each time that he could slay Xiao Tian directly, yet each time Xiao Tian managed to dodge.

The unease within Scarface North grew rapidly; this situation suggested the opponent either had incredible luck or was vastly superior in strength!

At this moment, Scarface North was uncertain, with a bead of sweat trickling down.

He couldn’t figure out the Huaxia person before him! This was the first time in years!

"Since the fight’s over, it’s my turn now!"

With a smile on his face, Xiao Tian moved his dagger forward without hesitation, stabbing repeatedly.

Buzz! Buzz!

The people around couldn’t clearly see Xiao Tian’s actions, only shadowy afterimages flashing around, leaving white arcs.

Ping, ping, ping, ping.

Ping!

Another forward thrust, sweat poured down Scarface North’s face; eventually, exhausted, his machete was struck by Xiao Tian’s knife, flew out, spun twice in mid-air, and stuck into the ground, frightening his subordinates to scatter.

"The boss lost??" Seeing Scarface North’s knife struck away, the subordinates looked desperate.

When Scarface North regained his senses, Xiao Tian’s dagger was already against his neck. Just a slight cut from Xiao Tian, and he’d be meeting King Yan.

Scarface North was terrified, beads of sweat dripping, his voice trembling, "Don’t do it, I’ll tell you whatever you want to know! Fan Ming? Yes, I know him, we had some dealings before!"

"Fan Ming... we cooperated before, but I genuinely don’t know what power he’s part of. He only had us handle cargo!" Scarface North said, full of fear.

"What kind of cargo?"

Scarface North shook his head, "That Fan Ming, just like you, is also an extraordinarily powerful figure. One of my subordinates wasn’t disciplined and tried to peek at his cargo, got killed directly by him! When I confronted him, he smacked me so hard I couldn’t stand for a month! Are you looking to cause trouble for him? We’d be glad to see him in trouble!"

At this point, Scarface North’s tone carried some resentment.

Of course, he’d be happier to see Fan Ming and Xiao Tian both suffer!

Xiao Tian glanced at him, saying calmly, "Fan Ming was already killed by me!"

"What? You killed Fan Ming?" Scarface North exclaimed in shock.

He knew how strong Fan Ming was!

And such an existence was killed by the person in front of him?

This...

"What, you don’t believe it?" Xiao Tian laughed.

Thinking about that terrifyingly powerful Fan Ming being killed by the person in front of him, Scarface North felt a chill on his scalp.

He quickly nodded, his tone filled with respect, "I believe, I believe!"

"Is that all you know?" Xiao Tian continued to ask.

Scarface North thought for a moment, not daring to conceal anything, "I once inadvertently heard Fan Ming mention that in the Northern Forest on this peninsula, there’s seemingly a forbidden zone. Fan Ming just said that, then shut up—it should be a very mysterious place!"

Seeing that Scarface North didn’t seem to be lying, Xiao Tian didn’t waste any more time here; he took a map from Scarface North and left the place.

As Xiao Tian walked further away, Scarface North finally felt relieved, his expression malicious, laughing coldly,

"Hmph, that place is filled with traps; even the army doesn’t dare to go. You’re waiting for death! No worries, someone will avenge me!"

------

Meanwhile, in a building in eastern Somalia, a slightly chubby man was sitting on a sofa smoking, looking distressed.

The person was the pirate Xiao Tian encountered that day, One-Eyed Ao.

Fortunately, One-Eyed Ao and a few subordinates managed to escape on lifeboats that night, but his ship and dozens of elite subordinates were all lost at sea, his entire fortune went down with them.

All because of a Huaxia person, Xiao Tian! This filled One-Eyed Ao with hatred for him.

"Captain!!" Just then, the door was pushed open, and one of One-Eyed Ao’s subordinates hurried in.

"Do you have news about that kid?" For the past two days, One-Eyed Ao had been gathering information on Xiao Tian, ready to pay handsomely to hire assassins to take Xiao Tian out.

The subordinate nodded excitedly, then said, "Congratulations boss, no need for assassins; that Huaxia kid went to die himself!"

One-Eyed Ao’s eye widened, asking hurriedly, "Explain clearly!"

With only one eye remaining, One-Eyed Ao’s stare was terrifying, scaring the subordinate, who immediately said, "After disembarking, Xiao Tian went to the Northeast Flying Motorcycle Gang and injured many. According to the Motorcycle Gang, Xiao Tian headed to the northern forbidden zone on the island."

"Northern forbidden zone?"

One-Eyed Ao frowned, then pondered, "That place is full of traps, even the army doesn’t dare to go. What’s he doing there?"

A subordinate nearby thought for a moment, then said, "Probably a spy for some Chinese organization?"

"Hmph!" One-Eyed Ao chuckled triumphantly, his face filled with joy.

Because Xiao Tian’s actions undoubtedly meant he was seeking death! That place is so hazardous, even the army avoids it; how could a human with mere flesh and blood withstand those devices and traps?

His enemy actively went to die, saving him a lot of trouble, how could he not be pleased?
