Chapter 127: Ma Hongchang's Reliance

ou're just waiting in line. You're talking so much trash. Believe me, I can have the staff here kick all of you out right now!"After finishing, he gave a superior once-over to the crowd watching him."...[ ]

"Damn it! Who the hell are you" Ma Hongchang frowned.

"Looking at Ling Hao and the others, he shouted angrily, "To dare come to the Ma family and run amok, you must be tired of living!"

"You are Ma Hongchang Not bad, after all these years of fleeing, you still dare to return to Dongzhou. You're quite brave!" The Judge's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Huh!” Upon hearing the verdict officer's words, Ma Hongchang's pupils shrank slightly: "Who are you"

"Let's talk about this later!" Ling Hao said lightly, his eyes sweeping over Yan He briefly before turning to Ma Hongquan.

"I hear that your Ma family can do whatever they want in Dongzhou, and even if you kill someone, no one can touch you"

"Do you have an opinion" Ma Hongquan frowned. "You really think you're someone important"

"If I said I had the power to decide your son's life or death, would you believe me" Ling Hao asked coldly.

"Humph!" Ma Hongquan let out a cold snort. "Ignorance is truly fearless. I'd like to see how you decide his life or death!"

"You'll see it right away!" Ling Hao smiled faintly, then turned to the Judge with a serious tone: "Announce Ma He Lin's major crimes!"

"Received!" The judge nodded vigorously.

At the age of eighteen, he bullied two female classmates along with others, causing one to commit suicide and the other to suffer mental illness.

At twenty years old, drunk driving caused a serious traffic accident, resulting in three deaths and one injury. Among the deceased was a pregnant woman.

"At the age of twenty-two, she beat someone up out of jealousy and left them in a vegetative state."

"...

" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The judge rattled off seven or eight serious charges against Ma Helin in one breath.

"Hmm" After hearing the judge's words, Ma Hongquan frowned.

He hadn't expected the judge to know about these things so clearly. He had a vague sense of foreboding, and it seemed like the other party was prepared!

"Master Ma, I wonder if you have anything else to add" Ling Hao then looked at Ma Hongquan and spoke in a light tone.

"Hmph!" Ma Hongquan took a deep breath and snorted coldly again. "So what if you find out The police can't control this! Who do you think you are"

"So, you admit he's guilty of these charges" Ling Hao asked again in a calm tone.

"Every single crime your son committed is punishable by a life sentence in prison, yet he's acting like nothing happened. You Ma family are truly something else!"

"Boy, I haven't got time to waste words with you here. If you have the guts, try moving my son!" Ma Hongquan responded angrily.

"Sounds good!" Ling Hao said, then turned to the judge: "According to law, how should this be handled"

"Strike!" the judge boomed.

"Then, let's cut him down!" Ling Hao responded coldly.

"As you wish!" A youth from the Shadow Gate stepped forward two paces, his wrist flipping as a blade flashed.

"No!" Ma Hejilin cried out, his soul trembling with fear.

"You dare!" Ma Hongchang roared, his figure flashing out rapidly.

Pffft!

Just as he had reached halfway, the blade flashed from Ma He Lin's neck.

The next moment, a blood line appeared on Mahalin's throat, and a jet of blood spurted out.

Glug! Glug!

Ma He Lin opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word. His legs went limp and he lost all breath, his eyes wide as ping pong balls.

Until his very last breath, he couldn't believe that this was how he died!

If only I had known this beforehand, I wouldn't have bothered with the other party this morning. Just a few hours have passed, and now I've bid farewell to this colorful world forever!

"Honey..."

Ma's wife exclaimed in shock and fainted.

"Lin'er!!!"

Both Ma Haoquan brothers cried out in grief at the same time.

Onlookers like Yan He were equally shocked. They hadn't expected the other party to actually dare to kill Ma Helin in broad daylight.

"Damn it, I'm going to kill you, I must kill you!" The next moment, Ma Hongquan glared menacingly: "Come here, quick, kill them for me!"

Knock! Knock! Knock!

A sudden flurry of footsteps sounded as two or three hundred men armed with blades and clubs rushed towards Ling Hao and his companions, their menacing presence palpable. The leading figures radiated a powerful aura, unmistakably hinting at their mastery of martial arts.

"Dare to kill the young master! Go to die!" Just as he rushed to the front of the three, the leading man roared, and the large knife in his hand slashed down towards Ling Hao at lightning speed.

"You're asking for death!" A dozen Shaolin disciples growled as ten shadowy figures darted towards the opposing crowd.

At the same time, the wrist kept turning, and the cold moon curved blade in his hand drew out a series of sharp knife lights to kill.

"Ah..."

The next moment, countless hysterical screams echoed through the square as figures collapsed one after another.

In less than five minutes, two or three hundred men all fell down, each one lying on the ground in agony.

Ouch!

Ma Hongquan and his two brothers, along with Yan He and others, saw this scene, took a deep breath of cold air, and their faces flashed with astonishment.

"Are you people from the Shadow Gate"

Yan Hu carefully examined the curved swords held by the ten Shadow Gate disciples, his brows furrowing.

"What!"

Upon hearing this, the Ma brothers, both of them, were so startled that their legs went weak and they almost collapsed.

The immense rage in his heart was instantly extinguished by the two words "Shadow Gate"!

As the saying goes, a person's name carries weight just as a tree's shadow is long. Though they had never crossed paths with the Shadow Gate, they had of course heard its formidable reputation long ago.

They finally knew why the other side was able to gather so many charges against Ma Haolin. With the influence of Yingmen, it would be too easy to find this information.

At the same time, thinking of all that Ma Jia had done over the years, a glimmer of despair rose in both their hearts.

Being targeted by the people of Yingmen, even if the Ma family has immense influence in Dongzhou, it's probably useless!

Those people they relied on in their daily lives, if they knew it was the Shadow Gate handling this, they would probably be too busy running for cover to help the Ma family!

"Alright, now let's settle the score!" Ling Hao then turned to Ma Hongchang and spoke.

Three years ago, you massacred a family of five. You shouldn't deny it, should you

"You... what do you want" Ma Hongchang took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Although the Shadow Gate intimidated him, it hadn't reached the point where he would surrender. After all, he was still a Warmaster-level martial artist!

Moreover, I have officially joined the Chiyin Sect, and the Grand Elder of the Chiyin Sect is right beside me. If a conflict were to arise, it remains to be seen who would emerge victorious!

"What do you say" Ling Hao's eyes narrowed slightly. "Do you surrender yourself or would you like the Shadow Gate to help you"

"Humph!" Ma Hongchang took another deep breath: "I admit Yingmen is strong, but do you really think I, Ma Hongchang, am afraid of you"

"Yo! Hearing you say that, you still have some reliance" Ling Hao smiled faintly: "Your reliance should be the four people around you, right"

"Brother, I am Elder Yan He of the Chi Yin Sect. Master Ma has officially joined our sect. I wonder if you could show mercy and spare him for the sake of our Chi Yin Sect. I would be eternally grateful!"

Yan He also took a deep breath and looked at Ling Hao, opening his mouth to speak.

Although he was also wary of the name Yingmen, after all, he was the Grand Elder of the Chiyin Sect.

If the mere two characters "Shadow Gate" were enough to scare you into retreat, that would be too embarrassing to say aloud.

After all, he already has the strength of a half-step warrior. He believes that even if it's someone from the Shadow Gate, he still has a chance to fight!

"The Red Yin Sect" Ling Hao turned his head to look at the judge, "Have you heard of it"n when facing the imposing figure of Zhongzhou Yun, his expression remained calm and composed.That day, the Marquis was receiving a distinguished guest in the grand hall of his villa on the estate. Th...
