Chapter 27: Wild Wolf

"The Zheng family..."

The drone tracked the three, the perspective zoomed in, and a grand plaque came into view, with the words "Zheng Mansion" shining brightly.

"In-laws of the Marquis of Zhen-Dong, the family head 'Mixed Golden Blade' Zheng Ye... are they really this unscrupulous?"

Jiang Ding sighed inwardly. The vested interests of this East Spirit Prefecture order weren't even willing to follow the rules they had set themselves, coming out to engage in such predatory business.

Or was it just a few greedy servants acting on their own?

Gently stroking his sword hilt, Jiang Ding fell into a light doze, his internal energy flowing silently, nourishing the ten main meridians of the second regular meridian, the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian.

Today, he would complete the nourishment of these ten meridians and begin the third regular meridian.

Around eight or nine o'clock, Jiang Ding went out to chat with Lin Wanqiu and Jiang Yuan for a while, then returned to the backyard, closing his eyes to rest in the warm morning sun.

"Good."

【This novel is first published, please go to read!】

"The Wild Wolf Gang isn't far from here."

The scarred, burly man Liu Qi carefully smiled behind him, surrounded by seven or eight sturdy martial artists with long blades at their waists, constantly vigilant of their surroundings.

If things went smoothly, he could shorten his sleep from the original eight hours to four in the future.

"This..."

The two cooperated with impeccable tacit understanding. Over the years, at least a dozen internal energy martial artists had been defeated by them, with five of them dying.

A cold, ghostly voice came from the side.

"Proprietor, disaster has arrived!"

Huang De walked quickly to Jiang Ding, lowering his voice: "The leader of the Wild Wolf Gang, 'Wild Wolf Blade' Long Shi, has come in person and even sent you a visiting card."

"One sword?"

Crack!

Jiang Ding didn't make things difficult for him. He flicked his sword hilt and scabbard against the ground, causing a fist-sized pebble to jump up, then swung the tip of the scabbard to strike it precisely—this was the standard power-generating technique of the Point Sword Style.

Clang! With a sword hum, sword light scattered.

It was uncomfortable not sleeping at first, but after adapting for a while, he discovered that nourishing meridians with internal energy through static meditation could replace part of his sleep.

It wasn't necessarily that he couldn't beat them, but unless it involved fundamentals, he didn't want to have a serious conflict with someone of high strength.

"Big Brother!"

But as for strength, he could only be called physically strong and daring enough to fight.

"Good."

"Who!"

Alas...

Ding! The sword tip touched the side of the blade's edge. In a single contact, the sword light easily shattered the seemingly thick blade light, and the swift blade path instantly collapsed, visible to the naked eye.

They were all decades old! If he swallowed them all, he might be able to go from minor accomplishment to great accomplishment in internal energy, becoming a figure in this East Spirit Prefecture, no longer limited to the few streets near Rotten Board Street.

'Wild Wolf Blade' Long Shi stroked his chin whiskers. This subordinate was a brother of many years; otherwise, he wouldn't have let him occupy this lucrative position.

In the few streets near Rotten Board Street, if he wanted someone's whole family to die at the third watch, they would never live until the fifth watch.

Liu Qi felt a chill in his heart, secretly thinking he was lucky last time.

He might not be able to do it.

At the same time, as if by instinct, the remaining Wolf Guard followed with a blade strike, like a male wolf following the pack leader to pounce on a prey, hunting a fierce beast.

Entering the backyard gate.

A cold voice came through the wind, causing Long Shi's footsteps to pause.

"How bold, a mere shop-keeping wretch dares to act arrogant in front of my brother." Long Shi suddenly sneered: "Wolf One, Wolf Two, bring this scruffy brat out for me!"

Jiang Ding drew his bright silver longsword, dots of killing intent permeating the air.

The surroundings were silent. The remaining two guards with blades watched this ordinary-looking shop as if facing a great enemy. "Proprietor, today my brother was rude first, sorry for the disturbance."

!.

"However, young, fair-skinned, handsome—all these added together..." Long Shi felt troubled. Like Liu Qi, he judged that there was trouble here and didn't want to provoke it at all.

In the Jianghu, the most important thing is to have a keen eye; otherwise, you'd have died long ago. "You're saying he beat you to the point of vomiting blood with one sword? That's not surprising."

A flash of cruelty passed through Long Shi's eyes. He gave a signal, and a sturdy martial artist left silently.

"Take one sword from me without being defeated, and I'll give them all to you."

Long Shi instantly changed from burning greed to calmness, pointing his long blade obliquely, saying calmly: "Young Master, you misunderstood. You've been living in Rotten Board Street for nearly a month. As the host, I'm just here to make a new friend."

Outside the grocery store, a rugged-looking man sat on a grand armchair, his left hand holding a curved blade and scabbard, deeply inserted several inches into the hard soil.

"Friends in the Jianghu all know that I, 'Wild Wolf Blade' Long Shi, love making friends the most and never let friends suffer losses."

Dong dong!

If supplemented with various spiritual herbs, it might be enough for several people to go from minor to great accomplishment in internal energy! "Do you want them?"

"Proprietor, there are still things to do in the gang..."

Grandfather! This is 'Wild Wolf Blade' Long Shi, who started from scratch and created such a huge foundation, not some small gang thug like Liu Qi!

Urgent knocking came from outside the door.

The sword tip turned again, piercing into the gap between Long Shi's heart and blood vessels.

Han Lin and the other assistants turned pale.

The two sturdy martial artists were startled by the sound of breaking air and simultaneously swung their blades at the source of the sound—steady, accurate, and ruthless. Their combat experience was extremely seasoned; they were worthy of being the 'Wild Wolf Eighteen Riders' who had killed their way out over many years.

"Come over for a chat."

"Arrogant!"

"Yes, Leader!"

The first thing he saw was a stack of square boxes, pure black as the base, with gilded decorations, and the mark of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce on them.

The two sturdy martial artists responded in unison, carrying their long blades as they stepped into the door.

Long Shi swallowed hard, wanting to say some polite words.

Long Shi signaled the remaining people to help up the two heavily injured brothers. He didn't say another harsh word; he intended to leave right then and there.

Wolf One and Wolf Two showed horror in their eyes. Before they could react, two crisp sounds of arm bones breaking rang out, and a huge force hit their chests, sending them and their blades flying out of the door, hot blood mixing with dust as they fell.

Jiang Ding, who was stroking his sword and dozing, opened his eyes, coldness in his pupils: "Let him come over."

He saw clearly that a fist-sized stone from who knows where had smashed their arm bones, leaving them no room to resist at all.

"Enter."

The sword light in Jiang Ding's hand was extremely condensed, nimbly piercing the side of the blade light. Even though both were swinging at high speed, it was like a nimble bird flying around a bull's head, relaxed and easy.

Long Shi snorted coldly, internal energy surging, the blade light turning into a long river of silk falling, and a wind sound like a wolf's howl faintly coming from the air.

Long Shi's pupils shrank, and he stood up.

This was a notification, not a request.

There was definitely a mole for the other party inside the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. They knew as soon as he went out. Once wealth reached a certain level, these Jianghu people in a feudal society had no concept of law at all.

Huang De didn't dare to move.

His fame-making battle was leading the 'Wild Wolf Eighteen Riders' to kill their way into the home of the previous Black Snake Gang leader, slaughtering his whole family with one person and one blade. He was a man of his word.

Long Shi felt a shock in his heart, giving rise to a strong greed.

Swish! A black dot smashed through the door at a speed invisible to the naked eye, leaving a hole with neat edges before disappearing.

Huang De was stunned, cold sweat breaking out.

Ding! A cluster of dazzling sparks bloomed between the two blade edges.

Ginseng!

Wolf Four's eyes were about to split. That sword light was too fast; he couldn't keep up at all.

There was still a chance; his blade was already approaching the other party's neck. Just one strike, just one strike!

Wolf Four stared fixedly at that fair neck.

Sword light flashed, a head flew up, blood spurted half a meter high, spilling all over the ground.
