World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others

Chapter 36: Severe illness requires strong medicine

"En." Du Ge glanced at him and nodded indifferently.

Wang San stepped forward, holding a willow leaf knife, and walked towards the trembling Liu Heigou. As he walked, he said, "My little black dog, I like you so much, how could you be so bad? Look, you have angered everyone, let me send you off with my own hands, dying in my embrace, you must be happy, right..."

Fear spread in Liu Heigou's heart. He tried to stand up and run, but the fall from Liu Cheng earlier had already caused internal injuries.

He stood up but fell back to the ground.

Watching Wang San approach closer and closer, the horror on his face grew heavier. He struggled and crawled desperately to escape.

But Wang San didn't give him a chance. He rushed forward a few steps and reached his back, stepping on it heavily. "Why do you want to escape? Why do you want to leave me like this? Since that's the case, you don't need your legs anymore. Without legs, you can never leave me again..."

Wang San swung his knife down towards his lower leg.

Splat!

Blood splattered.

Amidst Liu Heigou's screams, Wang San's face was filled with ecstasy. "Darling, your screams sound so beautiful. Unfortunately, such sounds can only be heard once. Keep screaming a little longer, and you won't be afraid anymore. Endure it, I will be gentle next."

As he spoke, he swung his knife again, and the leg that had only been cut open before broke off.

Liu Heigou let out a hysterical scream as he struggled and rolled on the ground. "No, spare me. Master Liu, Incense Master, kill me. Don't let this madman torture me!"

No one moved.

Du Ge stared at everyone from above, who would be willing to offend the higher-ups for a thug? What if he really killed the Gang Leader? The Qiu family would surely retaliate against them.

...

Attributes are increasing quickly!

Seeing Wang San swiftly and decisively cut off Liu Heigou's leg, Du Ge immediately knew that his strength had improved.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it.

Since the reorganization of the Iron Palm Gang began, his attributes had been steadily increasing without stopping.

Especially after he determined Liu Heigou's guilt and defended justice for the bereaved old man, his attributes skyrocketed even more.

Moreover, he exposed the Heavenly Demon's actions to everyone, which was equivalent to betraying all the participants present. The wider the spread of the Heavenly Demon's deeds, the more victims there would be, and the faster his strength would grow.

With these two factors combined, he feared no one.

At this moment, he felt that even if he let Qiu Yuanlang go, he could still rush back in time to cut off his fingers if anyone tried to save him.

...

"...Help you? Hahaha, cute little guy, besides me, who else would help you? Don't move, let me see your heart, let me see if I'm in it."

Wang San's voice echoed between heaven and earth.

The murmurs around them ceased.

Many onlookers were frightened by the madness of Wang San.

Some timid ones closed their eyes, while others couldn't bear the stimulation and vomited...

"Mr. Qi, this is going too far. Just kill him. Why torture him in front of everyone?" Qiu Yuanlang couldn't help but frown.

"Now you can't bear it? He tortured a sixteen-year-old girl for three days and forced her to jump into a well, breaking her father's leg. At that time, why didn't you feel sorry for him?" Du Ge pointed at the old man with a limp leg below and said, "Severe cases require drastic measures. I want everyone to see the consequences of doing evil. I am not an official, I am the Heavenly Demon, and I uphold justice with my own methods..."

The old man with the limp leg was initially frightened by Wang San and couldn't say a word. But upon hearing Du Ge's words, he couldn't help but think of his own daughter's tragic death, and the reluctance in his eyes instantly disappeared.

With tears in his eyes, he stared at the struggling and screaming Liu Heigou and said fiercely, "Lord Heavenly Demon is right. To deal with such wicked people, they must accept the cruelest punishment and never dare to do evil again."

After speaking, he no longer looked at Liu Heigou but straightened his tattered clothes and looked at Du Ge. He respectfully bowed and showed a relieved expression. "Thank you, Lord Heavenly Demon, for seeking justice for me. I have no regrets in this life. I can now go down and see my poor daughter with dignity."

"Old man, the deceased is gone, but the living must continue. Otherwise, if I seek justice for you and you go and commit suicide, what is the meaning of the peace I uphold?" Du Ge saw through his thoughts and smiled gently. "Stay alive and live on for your daughter. See how I punish the bad guys one by one and how the world changes for the better. Isn't that good?

Besides, Liu Heigou is a member of the Iron Palm Gang. If the Iron Palm Gang is not properly restrained, who should compensate for the harm they have caused over the years? If you die, who should I compensate? Liu Cheng, send someone to fetch one hundred taels of silver and give it to this old man..."

"Lord Heavenly Demon, I am already grateful for your seeking justice for me. How can I dare to accept your silver?" The old man waved his hands repeatedly.

"Are you worried that someone will be jealous and snatch your silver?" Du Ge asked.

"That's not what I mean." The old man said, "I just feel that I have already received Lord's favor..."

"Old man, no amount of money can bring back your daughter's life!" Du Ge sighed, "Take this money and find a kind-hearted person to take care of you in your old age. The Peacekeeping Association is always here, and no one will dare to covet your wealth..."

Liu Cheng sent someone to fetch the money.

Du Ge said, "Bring more. The Iron Palm Gang has caused a lot of trouble over the years. Today, I'm afraid we'll have to pay a lot of silver in compensation."

As soon as these words were spoken, the onlookers erupted in an uproar.

Wealth has always moved people's hearts...They were initially worried that Du Ge alone would not be able to hold off the resurgence of the Iron Palm Gang, and they would be the ones to suffer. But now, they could not only take revenge but also receive money, things were different.

With the money, they could even leave Luyang City and start a new life elsewhere!

A hundred taels!

They could never earn that much money in their entire lives...

The old man looked at Du Ge, kowtowed a few more times, and sobbed uncontrollably, "Heavenly Demon, you are a good person. I will worship you at home and pray for your longevity every day..."

"Heavenly Demon, I also have grievances. Niu Chaojie of the Iron Palm Gang forced my father to death in order to seize my family's heirloom jade..."

In the middle of the crowd, an Incense Master's legs gave out, and he collapsed on the ground...

"Heavenly Demon, my family's eight acres of fertile land were taken away by Yan Shou of the Iron Palm Gang..."

"Heavenly Demon..."

...

Whoosh.

Suddenly, more than a dozen people rushed out from the crowd, scrambling to run towards Du Ge. Wang San, who had just stolen Du Ge's limelight, was once again ignored by everyone.

Du Ge's attributes were rapidly increasing.

At the same time.

The members of the Iron Palm Gang were in chaos, and many of them turned to run.

Who wouldn't be scared!

Wang San was too ruthless. If they ran, they might still have a chance. If they stayed and were tortured by him, it would be worse than death!

Seeing more and more people fleeing, Du Ge frowned slightly, "Qiu Feilong, catch them. If one escapes, I'll cut off one of your father's fingers..."

"..." Qiu Feilong glared at Du Ge angrily and shouted, "Feilong Guards, what are you waiting for? Catch them. If one escapes, I'll use you as a test."

Qiu Yuanlang turned his head to look at Du Ge and sighed, "Mr. Qi, what you're doing will cause a big mess."

"I know. When I decided to uphold justice, I knew it would be the hardest path. But someone has to do it, right?" Du Ge looked at the chaotic crowd and smiled faintly, "I don't believe that there are no good people in this world."

Qiu Yuanlang gave Du Ge a meaningful look, sighed lightly, and said no more.

...

In the crowd.

People from various sects looked at the crazed Du Ge and Wang San, their brows furrowed.

An elder from the Beggar's Sect turned to a beggar beside him and ordered, "Hu Zi, send someone to check if there are any members of our sect who have been possessed by the Heavenly Demon. This guy is too evil. Once found, control them immediately."

"Yes, Elder." The beggar took the order and left.

"Old Tang, you go back to the headquarters immediately and tell the Gang Leader what happened here." Then he turned to another older beggar and frowned, "I feel a change is coming."

The same scene was happening among the people from the Three Gates and Five Sects who came to investigate.

Du Ge claimed to uphold justice, but all they saw in him was madness and the uncontrollable nature of the Heavenly Demon...

That day.

Many people rode fast horses from Luyang City to all corners of the world, spreading the news.

...

Feng Zhong, who was wearing a bamboo hat to cover his face, squeezed into the crowd. He looked at Du Ge and Wang San, who were stealing the limelight, with a mocking smile on his face, "Two fools, oblivious to their impending doom. Do they really think they can eliminate others with the help of a few locals? But this is good. With you two attracting attention, I don't have to run around. I can just stay in Luyang City and reap the benefits. I can even add fuel to the fire, hehe! The one who laughs last is the real winner!"
