Chapter 107: Blocking the Road, Sneak Attack (Four thousand words, seeking first subscription)

"Cultivation resources are important, but innate talent and comprehension are equally important!"

Xu Yang felt a sense of ease and satisfaction he had never experienced before when practicing fist techniques. In the past, practicing fist techniques was like walking on a rugged mountain road, where every step was extremely difficult, and sometimes he would take a wrong turn and have to turn back and walk again.

But now, it was as if there was a flat road in front of him; he just needed to step forward. He didn't need to pay attention to whether there were potholes under his feet, nor did he need to worry about taking a wrong turn.

For the first time, he felt that practicing martial arts was actually a comfortable thing. Every time he threw a punch, he had new insights in his mind.

As his blood and qi surged, strands of true qi were refined out, and the efficiency was actually a big chunk higher than before.

"Is practicing martial arts always this simple for Lu Ren?"

Xu Yang was somewhat surprised. This was only Grade B-high innate talent; what about that Grade A-low innate talent in the Liefeng Hall?

"No, that's not right. Lu Ren can't reach this level. He only has Grade B-high innate talent, and his comprehension hasn't reached the Grade B-high level.

It's because my comprehension and innate talent have both reached Grade B-high that cultivation has this effect."

Lu Ren and the others went to the mountain to risk their lives for resources, while he stayed in the Weiyuan Hall to practice hard; his gains might not be worse than theirs.

He also tried to practice the Turtle-Snake Stance and found that whether it was storing blood and qi or tempering his body, the efficiency had also increased by a big chunk. After just a moment, he felt hungry in his stomach, and the food he had eaten didn't keep him full as long as before.

"According to this progress, in at most one month, both the Turtle-Snake Stance and the Mountain-Shaking Bear Fist can reach major success."

Sanhe Gang, Justice Hall!

Three corpses that had already begun to stink were placed in the middle, and waves of foul odor spread out, causing the people of the Sanhe Gang present to almost vomit several times.

But seeing the Gang Leader Li Sanhe, who had a gloomy face in the seat of honor, even if they had already vomited, they could only swallow it back.

"Gang Leader, who exactly are these three people?" Wang Xinggui couldn't help but ask.

Since these three corpses were carried back, Gang Leader Li Sanhe had been gloomy, but he, who had joined the Sanhe Gang for seven or eight years, didn't recognize the three people who had died.

"I've seen them; they are all people from the Zhang Si Shui Gang." Another small leader spoke up.

Suddenly, the people present were even more confused. Why did the Gang Leader bring back the corpses of the Zhang Si Shui Gang members?

"They are not people from the Zhang Si Shui Gang, but dark agents I planted in the Zhang Si Shui Gang." Li Sanhe said with a gloomy face.

The Zhang Si Shui Gang and the Sanhe Gang had been hostile for many years, and both had sent dark agents to each other.

Dark agents were very important, responsible for passing information and collecting the other side's movements, so even if they knew who the other side's dark agent was among their subordinates, they generally wouldn't remove them.

Because only with dark agents passing information would there be no misjudgment, leading to a war between the two gangs.

This time, the Zhang Si Shui Gang removed all the dark agents of the Sanhe Gang, which clearly meant they were going to take action, and it might even be unfavorable to the Sanhe Gang, which was why they removed the dark agents to avoid information leaking to the Sanhe Gang.

"What could it be? Could it be that Zhang Si Shui is going to start a war?"

Zhang Si Shui dares to start a war with him?

Both were at the major success stage of Qi Gathering; once a war started, it would only result in mutual destruction.

"Not good!"

Li Sanhe seemed to have thought of something: "Zhang Si Shui's son is probably about to reach the major success stage of Qi Gathering, which is why they removed the dark agents; they didn't want me to know about this."

Zhang Si Shui had a son who had reached the early stage of Qi Gathering several years ago.

Now, calculating carefully, he should be about to break through to the major success stage of Qi Gathering, which was also why they removed the Sanhe Gang's dark agents, not letting him know the news that Zhang Si Shui's son was about to reach the major success stage of Qi Gathering.

"I must not let Zhang Si Shui's son reach the major success stage of Qi Gathering. Once the Zhang Si Shui Gang has two experts at the major success stage of Qi Gathering, the first one to die will be me."

Li Sanhe was shocked and angry in his heart. He had finally guessed the Zhang Si Shui Gang's plan. As long as Zhang Si Shui's son hadn't reached the major success stage of Qi Gathering, there was still hope.

Even if he couldn't win, he had to fight to the death.

"Gather everyone back to the main altar and keep watch for me." Li Sanhe shouted.

"Gang Leader, what happened?" A gang member asked.

"Just do as I say."

Li Sanhe didn't explain. When his voice fell, he had already left the Justice Hall.

The sky turned dark. Xu Yang came out of the Weiyuan Hall and hurried toward Bai Shi Workshop.

After leaving the city for a mile or two, he saw a figure suddenly appear in the middle of the road ahead, blocking his way.

"Brother Xu, don't be nervous; it's me." Li Sanhe was afraid Xu Yang would misjudge, so he hurriedly spoke to state his identity.

"So it's Gang Leader Li. You gave me a fright; I thought I had encountered some blind thief."

Xu Yang cupped his hands and stopped three steps away from Li Sanhe, secretly guarding himself in his heart.

At a time like this, Li Sanhe blocking him halfway alone, without even bringing his subordinates, was clearly trying to do something shameful.

"This is a good opportunity!" He pondered secretly in his heart.

If he suddenly launched a sneak attack with the Wind-Thunder Force, he might have a chance to kill Li Sanhe, but this was a bit risky because he hadn't truly seen the means of an expert at the major success stage of Qi Gathering.

Although the Wind-Thunder Force was a killing move aimed at experts at the major success stage of Qi Gathering, the means of an expert at the major success stage of Qi Gathering were also killing moves for him.

Although there was a possibility of success, it was still risky. Only by first seeing what Li Sanhe was doing here sneakily waiting for him could he decide whether to act.

"With Brother Xu's ability, which blind thief would dare to come and rob you."

Li Sanhe changed the subject and said: "To tell you the truth, I am waiting for Brother Xu here because I want to ask Brother Xu to help me kill someone. Of course, it's not for free; I will give Brother Xu this amount?"

As he spoke, he held up three fingers.

Xu Yang's heart sank; he was actually here to ask him to help kill someone.

Li Sanhe waited here alone, without even bringing his subordinates, clearly not wanting anyone to know about this.

Now that he knew about the matter, if he refused, Li Sanhe would probably kill him to keep it a secret.

"If Brother Xu is not satisfied with the money, you can say so, but please be sure to help your brother with this favor." Li Sanhe said again.

Xu Yang's thoughts raced, and he stepped forward, saying in a deep voice: "Who does the Gang Leader want to kill? If your brother has the ability, I will definitely not refuse; if I don't have the ability, please forgive your brother for being unable to help."

Li Sanhe said in a sinister voice, "Zhang Tong, the son of Zhang Si Shui of the Zhang Si Shui Gang, has a cultivation base of Qi Gathering Minor Success. With Brother's ability, you will surely be able to kill him."

Xu Yang sneered in his heart. He was certain that he wouldn't dare to refuse, which was why he said it without any hesitation.

That Zhang Si Shui was also at the major success stage of Qi Gathering. If he killed his son, how could he let him go?

If he refused, Li Sanhe would kill him now; if he agreed, the consequences would also be unpredictable.

"Brother Xu, there is no need to worry. I will strike together with you. When the time comes, I will deal with Zhang Si Shui, and you just need to be responsible for killing Zhang Tong."

Xu Yang was silent for a while and said: "Your brother can help with this favor, but there are two conditions I must ask Gang Leader Li to agree to."

Li Sanhe laughed, and the palm that was secretly exerting force also relaxed: "Brother Xu, please speak. If I can do it, even ten conditions are fine."

Xu Yang said: "Gang Leader Li must also know that the Martial Scholar examination is about to begin. If your brother had no hope, that would be one thing, but with my cultivation base neither high nor low, I also want to fight for it and see if I can succeed in the Martial Scholar examination.

Thirty taels is too little, far from enough for what I need for the Martial Scholar examination; I want fifty taels."

Really greedy. At the early stage of Qi Gathering, what is killing someone worth fifty taels?

Li Sanhe sneered in his heart, but his suspicion that Xu Yang was falsely agreeing was reduced by a lot.

When he was young, if he had the opportunity to fight for the Martial Scholar examination, he would definitely dare to risk his life to fight for it. Among martial artists, there were few who didn't want to succeed in the Martial Scholar examination.

Those who didn't want to belonged to the kind who didn't even have the qualifications to fight, and Xu Yang happened to belong to the kind who had the qualifications.

"Okay, fifty taels it is. The extra twenty taels will be considered your brother's support for you to succeed in the Martial Scholar examination."

Pretending to hesitate, Li Sanhe agreed.

Fifty taels was a bit much, but he could still take it out.

The main thing now is not money, but to kill Zhang Tong first. Even if he cannot be killed, as long as he fights Xu Yang, he will inevitably be injured.

Once injured, he will naturally be unable to reach Qi Gathering Major Success. Moreover, by concealing the fact that Zhang Tong is close to Qi Gathering Major Success, the one who will likely die is Xu Yang.

Everyone is dead, so what money is there to give?

"Brother Li, you are straightforward, but your brother wants to get the money first before acting. This is the first condition."

"Naturally!" Li Sanhe said without hesitation.

If Xu Yang died, he could naturally take the money back.

He was so happy in his heart that he was about to bloom. Young people are so easy to fool; do you think that if you take the money, it's really yours? ===== CHAPTER 108 =====
