Wu Yong was currently using a pair of oversized dumbbells to train his arm muscles. When he saw Mo Ming and Poisonous Madness approaching, he immediately dropped the dumbbells. The heavy weights hit the ground with a thud, creating a large dent and producing a deep sound that indicated they weighed a hundred pounds.
Such heavy dumbbells would be challenging for even a fitness coach with over ten years of experience to lift, yet Wu Yong had just been swinging them around effortlessly, showcasing his incredible strength that was beyond what ordinary people could match.
"Mo Ming, who is he? A new member?" Wu Yong asked with a smile upon seeing the unfamiliar face of Poisonous Madness.
"No," Mo Ming shook his head and replied with a smile, "His name is Poisonous Madness, one of my good brothers. He’s considered an old member here. Since he’s come today, I thought I’d introduce you two. Poisonous Madness, this is Wu Yong; you can call him Brother Yong."
"Yong..." Poisonous Madness began to say but then hesitated.
"Poisonous Madness!?" Wu Yong exclaimed in surprise, his eyes lighting up with excitement. Before Poisonous Madness could respond, Wu Yong had already grabbed his hand and said, "I remember that name! Aren't you the Hall Master of Poison Hall from the Azure Dragon Gang back in the day?"
"Uh, Brother Yong, you know me?" Poisonous Madness was taken aback but soon smiled.
Wu Yong shook his head and said, "Not exactly! But I’ve certainly heard of your great reputation. You single-handedly took down over three hundred elites from Hong Gang; your name was quite famous on the streets!"
"Hehe, I never expected my name would still be remembered by you, Brother Yong. Should I take this opportunity to show off a bit?" Poisonous Madness chuckled while Mo Ming rolled his eyes and said, "You should be humble; do you understand humility?"
"I've always been low-key! Occasionally being high-profile is just to prove that I’m alive!" Poisonous Madness replied proudly, giving Mo Ming a glance before turning back to Wu Yong. "Brother Yong, welcome to our big family! Trust me; you will love it here!"
"Hehe, I've already fallen in love with this place. Brother, if you don’t mind, let’s spar sometime; I’m quite competitive!" Wu Yong said as he sized up Poisonous Madness, his eyes revealing an undeniable fighting spirit—Frenzied Warrior was indeed a man who thrived on battle!
In truth, Poisonous Madness wasn’t particularly fond of sparring; however, since Wu Yong made such a request, he didn’t refuse and nodded with a smile. "Sure! If I have time, I’ll definitely train with you!"
"Oh, almost forgot! Haha... No rush; I'll start from the bottom and challenge you once I’ve earned my place!" Wu Yong said with a mischievous grin.
Poisonous Madness and Mo Ming exchanged smiles.
"Brother Yong, I want to meet those Undead Celestial Executioners. Luo Long has been in Nanhua City for too long; he's like a ticking time bomb. No one knows when he might explode. We need to act quickly!" Mo Ming stopped laughing and his expression turned serious. With the Azure Dragon Gang and Little Green Society joining forces, these two powers combined were formidable. Mo Ming didn’t want Luo Long to pose a threat to his loved ones.
"Alright, I'll accompany you there. If those guys dare to defy you, I'll take care of them on the spot!" Wu Yong said, his face showing a fierce expression.
Mo Ming waved his hand and said, "No need. I think if they behave themselves, it will only be effective if I personally intimidate them. If you help, they will only submit outwardly but not in their hearts. Such people are bound to become a threat later on; I don't want to be stabbed in the back."
"Fine then, since you don't know where the meeting point is, I'll go with you. I won't intervene; you'll handle everything yourself!" Wu Yong thought it made sense. He had momentarily forgotten that Mo Ming's strength was no less than his own; now that he thought about it, he had been overthinking.
"Undead Celestial Executioner?" Poisonous Madness asked curiously, furrowing his brow as it was the first time he had heard of it.
Mo Ming nodded and said, "This is an organization that Lord Qian assigned to me. The members inside are all top-notch killing machines. If we can get their help, dealing with the Azure Dragon Gang and Little Green Society will be much easier!"
"Hehe, I'm quite interested to see how formidable the members of the Undead Celestial Executioner really are!" Poisonous Madness said with a slight smirk. "Boss, since I have nothing to do, take me along to have a look!"
"If you want to go, just follow me!" Mo Ming did not refuse and nodded.
……
At night, it was quiet; the moon shone brightly over a desolate wilderness filled with tombstones and overgrown weeds. The atmosphere was heavy with death, and the thick fog added to the eerie feeling of the place.
Mo Ming, Wu Yong, and Poisonous Madness arrived here in a Black BMW. After getting out of the car, they followed Wu Yong deeper into the wilderness. Wu Yong lifted a coffin lid that was exposed and tossed it aside. With a clang, Mo Ming and Poisonous Madness realized that this coffin lid was made of steel and resistant to soil erosion; its exterior resembled wood, making it easy to conceal.
"Below is the Undead Realm!" Wu Yong peered down and saw some light before leading the way down. "Someone has already arrived. To prevent intrusions, several traps have been set up here. Follow me closely and watch your step!"
Mo Ming and Poisonous Madness did not dare to be careless; they nodded and closely followed behind Wu Yong.
The path was long; the entire tunnel was paved with concrete, and small light bulbs hung on both sides of the walls, illuminating the tunnel brightly. Following Wu Yong's instructions to jump every three steps or five steps repeatedly, they safely reached underground.
"Alright, we're safe now." Wu Yong turned around and smiled at Mo Ming and Poisonous Madness. "Every time I come here, I find it troublesome. However, Seventh Master said this is an ancient tomb left by predecessors. The traps in the tunnel were set by them for safety reasons; he didn't change anything because it's better to be cautious."
"It is indeed a bit troublesome, but it enhances safety. Even if outsiders discover this place, entering would be perilous—one injury would mean nine deaths. Seventh Master's consideration is not wrong," Mo Ming observed his surroundings carefully. The area was relatively spacious, about the size of a football field. In the center stood an iron cage surrounded by various training equipment like wooden dummies and hanging sandbags.
Wu Yong, seeing Mo Ming's curious gaze, smiled and explained, "That iron cage is for life-and-death battles. Only the one who survives has the right to walk out. Ha, in fact, this is just a slaughterhouse; survival of the fittest. Those who live are at the top of the food chain here!"
"Tsk tsk, this place is somewhat like our 'Righteous Souls.' I'm getting more and more curious about how twisted these guys really are!" Poisonous Madness couldn't help but exclaim.
Wu Yong did not respond directly, taking a deep breath and saying, "Perhaps. This place has actually been abandoned for a long time. If I weren't here with Mo Ming, I wouldn't want to stay even a moment longer."
"Hmph..." A disdainful voice echoed underground. Wu Yong's expression hardened as he angrily shouted, "Shadow Demon, stop playing hide and seek and come out!"
A figure seemed to flash down from above, landing in front of Wu Yong. Slowly standing up, the smile on his lips appeared cold and sinister. He was the Shadow Demon that Wu Yong had mentioned—an evil devil lurking in the darkness.
"Frenzied Warrior, long time no see. You've finally returned!"
The Shadow Demon completely ignored Mo Ming and Poisonous Madness, directing a chilling smile at Wu Yong while licking his darkened lips with his pale tongue. Indeed, a pale tongue and darkened lips; if Mo Ming didn't know he was still alive, he might have thought he was a corpse!
"Damn it, I was wrong..." Poisonous Madness twitched at the corner of his mouth and said, "I thought my treasures were disgusting beings; now that I've seen this guy, I realize humans can be just as repulsive!"
"Hmm?" The Shadow Demon’s ears perked up as his eyes shot two cold beams toward Poisonous Madness. Then, in an instant, he lunged at Poisonous Madness with incredible speed.
"Shadow Demon, what do you think you're doing? Get away from me!" Wu Yong roared in anger and was about to strike when Mo Ming reached out to stop him, shaking his head and saying, "Don't act yet; I want Poisonous Madness to see if this Shadow Demon is his match!"
Poisonous Madness initially didn't want to engage but realized that the Shadow Demon was targeting him. He knew that if he didn't act, this disgusting guy would surely take him down. His expression immediately turned serious.
"Kid, if you talk nonsense, there will be consequences!" The Shadow Demon smirked with a ghostly grin as he clawed toward Poisonous Madness's heart. From his appearance, he looked like a devil specialized in digging out human hearts.
"Get lost! Is it not okay to say something? This is a society of free speech!" Poisonous Madness exploded in anger upon hearing the Shadow Demon's words. The Shadow Demon treated him like a soft target; just one sentence and he intended to put him to death. Even with Poisonous Madness's good temper, he couldn't hold back his fury.
Just as the Shadow Demon lunged for his heart, Poisonous Madness shrank back to evade the attack. He then launched a powerful kick forward that startled the Shadow Demon into retreating quickly. However, despite his speed, Poisonous Madness still managed to land a kick on the Shadow Demon as he tried to dodge.
The Shadow Demon clutched his chest but appeared even more excited. His pale tongue licked his darkened lips again as he said, "Good kid; I underestimated you!"
"You're the stupid one!" Poisonous Madness said coldly.
"How dare you call me stupid? Hmph..." Shadow Demon smirked, his figure shooting out again as he shouted, "Are you looking for death?"
"I'm indeed looking for death. My life is right here; if you have the ability, come and take it!" Poisonous Madness replied irritably, standing still with a provocatively challenging expression.
Seeing this, Shadow Demon became even more furious. There were not many people in the world who dared to underestimate him!
"Hmph, you talk big. Let's see if you have the ability!" Shadow Demon approached Poisonous Madness, his hands clawed and aimed directly at him. The speed was incredibly fast, and each attack made a cracking sound as bones collided.
"You sure are ruthless!" Poisonous Madness frowned, twisting his body to dodge Shadow Demon's lethal moves. At the same time, he swung his hands to counterattack. Since the other party wanted to kill him, Poisonous Madness naturally wouldn't hold back; every move was aimed to be deadly!
"I don't have the patience to play with you!" Poisonous Madness smiled slightly, flicking his hands as two Black Scorpions flew towards Shadow Demon.
Mo Ming shook his head with a smile and said, "Shadow Demon is finished!"
"What the hell are these things?" Shadow Demon exclaimed in shock as he looked at the two Black Scorpions on him, feeling pain surge to his brain from two spots.
