Chapter 409: Confrontation

Words : 2059 Updated : Oct 13th, 2025

The location for this duel was chosen at the edge of the actual control area of both sides, near the entrance of a tunnel. By the next day, Clear Path Logistics had driven out more than twenty small and medium-sized vehicles and hundreds of two-wheeled motorized vehicles from the camp, roaring towards the agreed battle location. Even though there were enough light sources on the road to recognize the road surface, they still turned on their bright headlights. Most of the members who came out this time were from the original Security guard team of Clear Path Logistics, so their combat power should not be underestimated. In fact, relying on part of the original Security guard team, they did not fall behind in ordinary firefights, otherwise they would not have been able to hold on until now. It was just that they were powerless in the face of Third-Limit Martial Artists, which led to their gradual encroachment and consumption by Poison Ant Express. If Lao Bian had been willing to put in a bit more effort, it wouldn't have come to this, which was also the most unsatisfactory aspect of Lao Bian for everyone. Upon learning that Lao Bian had been kicked out and another Martial Artist had been invited, except for a few who were worried and doubtful, most people cheered and supported the decision. Not to mention anything else, the newly invited one immediately challenged Poison Ant Express to a duel without any hesitation. Regardless of the strength, just this action alone won the favor of the vast majority. Lan Xin'an specifically had everyone prepare firearms and ammunition this time, and arranged for people to meet and stand guard at key intersections, in case Poison Ant Express tried to encircle or ambush them during the duel. The convoy arrived quite early. Upon reaching the duel location, they saw that part of Poison Ant Express had also arrived and was starting to set up street barricades and barriers. Lan Xin'an ignored them and also had people take down sandbags and obstacles, starting to arrange some simple blockades and fortifications. Neither side paid any attention to the other, each focusing on their own tasks. Lao Cao got out of the car and silently looked at the opposite side. Xiao Ding came to his side, also looking across, and asked curiously: "What's wrong, Lao Cao? What are you looking at?" Lao Cao said: "There are some people on the other side who are our former brothers, I recognize a few faces."Xiao Ding was dismissive, saying, "The brothers who remain are the true brothers. Those who ran away in times of crisis, Lao Cao, did you consider them brothers? Did they consider you a brother?" Lao Cao said, "I'm not regretting for them, but thinking of the past, when Boss Li was here, how prosperous Clear Path Logistics was, now..." He shook his head. Xiao Ding said, "The business was good during Boss Li's time, but the people at the bottom didn't get much. Otherwise, why would so many people clamor to split up when problems arose? Boss Li himself has disappeared, I think he probably went to the Upper City District to enjoy life." Although Boss Li didn't have citizen status, he had money, and there were plenty of people with citizen status but no money. Hiring a few people was enough for him to enjoy life.

The Iron Fist Society's influence in the Lower City District was not much worse than the Moss Gang's, but it suddenly fell apart. The series of events that Clear Path Logistics encountered later were not coincidences, the underlying issues were actually very complex. In a motorhome at the back, Chen Chuan was sitting in the front seat, slowly drinking a hot beverage, watching the people from Poison Ant Express across the way, waiting for today's opponent. To ordinary people, the Lower City District seems chaotic and disorderly, and it seems that those who fight their way out are stronger. But in reality, most people who come to the Lower City District are losers in competition. Not to mention that the resources in the Lower City District are far inferior to those in the Upper City District, and the level of one's opponents determines one's own level. Fighting with weak opponents in the Lower City District every day, or not fighting at all, will only make one weaker. Therefore, the Martial Artists in the Lower City District are generally not as good as those in the Upper City District, but when it comes to the top level, one cannot be so arbitrary. Because there are quite a few people who come here with special purposes, these people cannot be judged by common sense. At this moment, someone from the opposite side walked over to them and spoke a few words with Clear Path Logistics. Lan Xin'an's voice sounded in his Boundary Token: "Brother Chen, the people from Poison Ant Express say Gai Er will be late." Chen Chuan said very calmly, "Then we'll wait a little longer." This was nothing more than intentionally making him wait to wear down his spirit, using such tactics in a duel was meaningless.He was waiting in the camp, and now he's waiting here. Moreover, controlling his emotions is something he has long been capable of, and he can take this time to adjust his state with the Breathing Technique. Lan Xin'an remained vigilant, fearing that Poison Ant Express might play tricks. She said, "Brother Chen, I'll go check the surroundings." Chen Chuan acknowledged with a hum, then picked up a book of Lower City District data that Clear Path Logistics had found for him to read, while also brewing a cup of hot drink to sip slowly. After flipping through the pages for a while, a vehicle slowly approached from the opposite side. It was a modified armed vehicle, with a fierce tiger face painted on the front, baring its full set of fangs. Following this vehicle was an open-top car, with several people whose heads were painted in various colors sitting there. At a glance, it was clear these were members of the Moss Gang. Moreover, judging by their attire and demeanor, these were not ordinary gang members but influential leaders. Upon their arrival, members of Poison Ant Express immediately came forward to greet them. Lan Xin'an's voice came through the Boundary Token again, "Brother Chen, Gai Er has arrived." Chen Chuan closed the data book in his hands and looked forward, seeing the armed vehicle drive to the front and stop. The door opened, and a robust figure stepped down, dressed similarly to the person in the photo, in dark red martial arts attire with a black thick belt, holding a folded three-section staff. As he walked forward, one could clearly see several scars on his chin, with sharp and fierce eyes, and a demeanor full of arrogance and defiance. Seeing that the person had arrived, Chen Chuan set aside his hot drink, grasped the Snow Emperor Blade, and also stepped out of the vehicle, walking towards the opposite side. The two slowly approached each other under the gaze of both sides. In the open space left between them, there was a leaning Sun Vine, emitting bright but uneven light, scattered everywhere. When the wind from the tunnel entrance blew over, the swaying vines caused the scattered light spots and the intricate shadows of the vines to sway together. Now, their figures also appeared within this scene. The leader of the Moss Gang sat watching Chen Chuan, scanning him with the Boundary Token and transmitting the information to a certain place. After a while, he received a response and sat up a bit straighter.Yes, that's right... call him back? He quickly glanced ahead and said, "But Gai Er has already gone up... okay, okay... I'll keep an eye on it..." Besides him, Lao Bian was also paying attention to this duel at the moment, he had a few informants he planted in the Clear Path Logistics team keeping an eye on the situation. Although the functions of these Boundary Tokens couldn't clearly see the level of this fight, it didn't matter, he just needed to confirm the final result in time. At this moment, the two people in the field had already walked to their respective fronts and stopped. Gai Er slung the Three-section staff over his shoulder, using a tone that was both teasing and threatening, saying, "It's rare to see someone still willing to help the nearly finished Clear Path Logistics. Did you come to the Lower City District because you got into trouble? I say, since you've managed to run to the Lower City District, why waste your life? Brother, listen to my advice, it's not too late to back out now, I can't guarantee I'll hold back if we really fight, I'll give you a chance to leave on your own, otherwise, you'll die here today." Chen Chuan listened to his words and noticed that this guy didn't seem to know his information, didn't he verify before the fight? Gai Er indeed didn't know, because Poison Ant Express hadn't done this work, they eagerly agreed as soon as Clear Path Logistics proposed the duel. It wasn't that they trusted Gai Er so much, but they didn't think Clear Path Logistics could invite any powerful figures at this point, if they had the ability, they would have brought someone earlier, why would they need to rely on Lao Bian? Besides, would a truly skilled person be willing to come to the Lower City District to stand up for their small team? This was completely impossible, it could only be a newcomer who just escaped from above and still didn't understand the situation, there's no need to waste resources on such a greenhorn, and with the Moss Gang backing them, what's there to worry about? Chen Chuan actually welcomed this approach, because since the other party didn't know his information, Gai Er was transparent to him, which was beneficial for the upcoming fight. At this time, he tried to sense with his energy field, Gai Er's energy field was gathered around his body, although it was hidden, it was obvious that it hadn't been properly trained. This was normal, energy field knowledge and Skills are relatively high-end but not highly regarded, even people from Wuyi might not all know it.This person was merely relying on his long-standing combat experience to instinctively conceal his energy field, a tactic that might work against ordinary opponents but was utterly ineffective against him. Upon a brief contact, he gleaned much useful information from the opponent's energy field. The man's energy field was sharp and fierce, agile yet sinister, indicating a strong desire for aggression, a penchant for shortcuts, and a love for taking risks. However, he was also vigilant and keen, much like a lone wolf, ready to retreat immediately if a bite missed its mark, seeking another opportunity or withdrawing based on the situation. This was a completely self-serving individual, where self-preservation and satisfying his own desires came first, with others entirely out of his consideration. Under Chen Chuan's profound gaze, Gai Er suddenly felt a wave of unease. He didn't know where the problem lay, but reflexively took a step back, revealing a fierce and wary look in his eyes. He took the Three-section staff off his shoulder, pointing it forward, and with a slight loosening of his fingers, let it drop to the ground with a clatter. At this moment, in a place invisible from Chen Chuan's perspective, he subtly lifted his foot. With just this simple exertion of force, the tip of the staff suddenly flew up from there, pulling the entire three-section staff into a straight line, thrusting directly towards Chen Chuan! …… …… Latest address of 83 Chinese website
