<h4>Chapter 1157: Chapter 1157: Stepping Forward to Save Xiang Yu</h4>


    Li Xiaosan raised his head arrogantly, looking at Xiang Yu, thinking that Xiang Yu wouldn’t dare do anything to him.


    Traditionally, Hongmen and Qing Gang have always kept to their own affairs. Even though there are some conflicts now, they are purely business-rted and have not escted to physical altercations.


    Xiang Yu had just taken office, and they were aware of this fact.


    When Xiang Yu was appointed, they made a simple inquiry about him. Upon learning that Xiang Yu was a young man, everyone in Qing Gang knew that an opportunity had arisen.


    Their first n was to incite chaos within Hongmen and then gradually erode it.


    Li Xiaosan, as a member of Qing Gang, felt very proud, believing Hongmen would soon be their meal.


    "If youe down now, we can still have a good talk," Xiang Yu said with a calm smile.


    "Youe up," Li Xiaosan teased.


    "Alright." Xiang Yu smiled, then looked at Tie Zhuzi and Tao Dachang and said, "You two go up there and grab him for me."


    Tie Zhuzi could not wait any longer and headed upwards with Tao Dachang.


    Li Xiaosan did not panic; he simply stood there with arms crossed, waiting calmly.


    At this time, Yan Qing looked at him angrily and said, "You’d better take your people and leave quickly. Don’t cause trouble here."


    Li Xiaosan disdainfully nced at him and said, "Don’t speak, lest you embarrass yourself."


    "You..." Yan Qing gritted his teeth, unable to speak from anger. He had never treated him this way before.


    Just then, there was the sound of fighting from the first floor, indicating a brawl had broken out.


    Xiang Yu knew there must be an ambush inside, so he turned to look at Jin Guozhong and Xiaoxuan and said, "You go in too."


    Jin Guozhong, having awaited this moment, shouted and led his men inside.


    The brothers of Liyan Hall stood by observing, not taking any action.


    "Are you noting down?" Xiang Yu asked, looking at Li Xiaosan.


    Seeing Xiang Yu actually order his men to act, Li Xiaosan frowned and said, "Xiang Yu, how dare you! You’re provoking a war between the two gangs."


    After all, the people Li Xiaosan brought were few and couldn’t match Xiang Yu’s forces.


    Xiang Yu sneered and quickly ran forward.


    People around had no idea what Xiang Yu was doing. The brothers of Liyan Hall were puzzled as to why the Sect Leader suddenly started running.


    While they were confused, Xiang Yu suddenly appeared downstairs, then stepped on a column and jumped up strongly.


    He grasped the railing on the second floor, then leapt and flipped onto the second-floor balcony.


    This scene seemed like something straight out of television, revealing Xiang Yu’s surprising agility.


    The brothers of Liyan Hall below couldn’t help but cheer. They admired Xiang Yu and now felt an urge, driven by excitement, to go over and embrace him.


    Those who had entered could only hear the cheers from outside, unaware of what had transpired. They only hoped to clear the obstacles before them quickly and reach the second floor.


    Xiang Yu’s movements startled Li Xiaosan, causing him to retreat more than ten steps before steadying himself.


    Yan Qing was also surprised but didn’t react as excessively as Li Xiaosan.


    Once Xiang Yu reached the top, he slowly approached Li Xiaosan. Unexpectedly, Yan Qing stood in between, blocking Xiang Yu, and said, "Don’t act rashly. If you do, it will certainly spark conflict between both sides."


    Li Xiaosan collected himself, raised his head, and said, "That’s right. If that happens, you’ll be the viin. We’re at peace currently, so don’t squander it."


    Hearing this, Xiang Yuughed outright. What nonsense about peace; it’s all bullshit.


    It’s a society ruled byw now; they just can’t engage inrge-scale battles. Small-scale skirmishes like this happen every day, and who cares?


    "Step aside first. We’ll deal with your issueter," Xiang Yu said, looking at Yan Qing.


    After all, Yan Qing was one of Hongmen’s people, and Xiang Yu didn’t want to handle family matters in front of outsiders.


    "Yan Qing, you’re part of Qing Gang now. We’re in the same camp. If you dare step aside, don’t me me for speaking ill of you before the Gang Leader," Li Xiaosan said.


    This was tant intimidation. Yan Qing used to be a Hall Master of Hongmen. Apart from the Sect Leader, no one would dare speak to him like this. But now...


    At this moment, the people from below rushed up. Leading them was Tie Zhuzi, wielding an iron rod.


    Tie Zhuzi and the others were curious to see that Xiang Yu had already arrived here. He walked to the edge, looked down, and asked, "Brother Yu, how did you get up here?"


    "Flew up," Xiang Yu said casually.


    Of course, no one believed that; they nced below, increasing their admiration for Xiang Yu even more.


    Tie Zhuzi and the others came rushing up, startling Li Xiaosan. He couldn’t believe his men were so easily beaten, barely holding out five minutes.


    "You can’t touch me. I’m a Hall Master of Qing Gang," Li Xiaosan panicked slightly.


    "Qing my ass, I’m gonna smash you," Tie Zhuzi said, unsatisfied with just one hit, then rushed at Li Xiaosan with the rod, and Xiang Yu didn’t stop him.


    Seeing Xiang Yu unmoved, Li Xiaosan desperately jumped aside, pointing at Xiang Yu, and said, "You’re the Sect Leader of Hongmen. You should understand the pros and cons."


    Xiang Yu merely turned to enjoy the distant scenery, not treating the affair seriously.


    Tie Zhuzi swung the rod down, and Li Xiaosan dodged frantically.


    Yan Qing at this point was at a loss and regretted getting involved with Qing Gang.


    Tie Zhuzi missed with one swing and followed up with a sweep.


    Yan Qing was within its range and quickly jumped beside Xiang Yu.


    Li Xiaosan also ended up beside Xiang Yu at this point.


    Jin Guozhong and others saw this, got slightly nervous, and wanted to rush over to protect Xiang Yu.


    Infuriated by Tie Zhuzi, Li Xiaosan stealthily pulled out a dagger and stabbed towards Xiang Yu’s back.


    Xiaoxuan, seeing this from behind, urgently shouted, "Brother, watch your back!"


    As the de was about to strike Xiang Yu’s back, a shadow suddenly stood behind him.


    Li Xiaosan’s knife pierced into a person’s body, and he was kicked to the ground.


    Xiang Yu quickly turned around to see a knife embedded in Yan Qing’s body.


    "Yan Qing, Yan Qing," Xiang Yu called out with some anxiety; in truth, Xiang Yu was confident he could dodge the stab. He had realized Li Xiaosan would attack him but never expected Yan Qing to jump in.


    "Call an ambnce," Xiang Yu yelled.


    The members of Liyan Hall, seeing Yan Qing injured, lost their minds and rushed upstairs in rage.


    Although Yan Qing betrayed Hongmen, his courage to stand up at the crucial moment should bemended.


    "Fuck your uncle," Tie Zhuzi shouted in anger, then viciously smashed Li Xiaosan’s legs with the iron rod.


    Tie Zhuzi was naturally strong, and with the weight of the iron rod, Li Xiaosan’s legs were likely beyond saving...
