Chapter 10: Killing

Seeing the other party walk into the courtyard, Lu Changsheng was not in a hurry and started to wait quietly.

He prepared to let the other party finish their business and then act late at night.

By then, it would be when Zhao Erhu was most relaxed.

Time passed slowly.

An hour passed quickly.

The lights in the courtyard began to go out.

Lu Changsheng put on a mask, took out the pig-slaughtering knife, and walked quickly toward the courtyard in front.

Arriving at the edge of the courtyard wall, he jumped and jumped into the center of the courtyard.

Since breaking through to Skin Refining, his jumping ability had become extremely amazing.

A fence wall more than a meter high could be easily crossed.

After crossing the wall, Lu Changsheng walked quickly toward the bedroom.

"Bang..."

He kicked open the wooden door, and in the unbelievable eyes of Zhao Erhu and Widow Zhang, he rushed to the two of them, raised the pig-slaughtering knife, and slashed forward fiercely.

Even the air made a violent friction sound.

He didn't choose to sneak in and open the door; he wasn't familiar with the environment inside the house, and he would be discovered sooner or later.

Moreover, the movement of opening this kind of old wooden door was not small.

"Not good, there's an attack by an expert."

Sensing the blade wind attacking, Zhao Erhu was full of fear.

He didn't remember when he had offended a martial artist.

He had always been very cautious and had never had any feud with any martial artist.

At most, he bullied some common people.

Time was tight, he didn't have time to think too much, and in the desperate eyes of Widow Zhang, he directly grabbed the other and threw her forward.

At this moment of life and death crisis, no woman was important; as long as he could drag the attacker for half a breath, it would be a success.

Then, he quickly picked up the long knife by the bed, preparing to start a counterattack immediately.

He had always kept a secret in his heart: a year ago, he had already broken through to Skin Refining, and coupled with the precious knife in his hand, even if the attacker was a Skin Refining martial artist, he was not afraid at all.

"I'll see how you die today."

Zhao Erhu was full of anger in his heart.

"Clatter..."

Just then, a light sound came, and Widow Zhang was directly cut in half, falling to the ground, and a large amount of blood gushed out.

Lu Changsheng's expression was extremely cold, and he didn't hold back at all.

The pig-slaughtering knife still didn't lose its momentum, slashing toward Zhao Erhu.

"Kill."

With Widow Zhang's delay, Zhao Erhu finally had a glimmer of breathing space; he also slashed out with a knife, and evil spirit erupted all over his body.

The long knife in his hand was a precious knife close to hundred-forged, which he had paid a huge price to purchase.

The attacker actually dared to slash with him; he was really overestimating his own strength.

He was also full of confidence in his heart.

In the darkness, although the two couldn't see each other's faces clearly, they could still sense each other's intense murderous intent.

When Zhao Erhu struck, Lu Changsheng sensed it; the other party was actually a Skin Refining martial artist, and the weapon in his hand was quite extraordinary.

Fortunately, he hadn't been reckless and come to find trouble before breaking through; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Crack..."

In an instant, the two sides collided.

Zhao Erhu's long knife was directly cut off, the cut was smooth and flat.

Then Lu Changsheng's pig-slaughtering knife still slashed toward Zhao Erhu like a rainbow.

In the unbelievable eyes of the other party, accompanied by a miserable scream, a huge head flew into the sky.

Blood gushed out, staining the entire wooden bed red.

Zhao Erhu's headless body slowly fell toward the head of the bed.

"Phew..."

Lu Changsheng let out a light breath; if it weren't for the hundred-forged pig-slaughtering knife in his hand today, he would probably have had to spend some effort.

If he had accidentally let the other party escape, it would have been a failure.

It seemed that the bonus of weapons to strength was quite considerable.

This also gave him a new understanding of the path of strength improvement in the future.

Martial arts realm was the root of everything, and besides that, weapons and martial arts were also very important, and there were also methods of movement and attack, which were also very critical.

If he couldn't beat them, he could still escape; only by living could there be hope for a comeback.

A moment later, he put away his weapon and walked to Zhao Erhu's side.

He searched the other party's bosom carefully for a while, took out a stack of silver notes and a book, put them into his bosom.

Then he turned and left.

The next day, early morning.

Early in the morning, Widow Zhang's courtyard was full of people.

Among them were quite a few Sanhe Gang members, and Zhao Erhu's few followers were among them.

"Who the hell did this?"

A man in black pointed to the headless corpse on the ground, full of murderous intent.

To think someone dared to kill their gang member within the sphere of influence of their Sanhe Gang.

This was simply a naked provocation to them; if they didn't kill the murderer, where would their gang's prestige be? A group of gang members looked at each other and lowered their heads one after another.

No one knew who Zhao Erhu had offended, so they had to pretend to be dead and keep their mouths shut.

"Hmph... I will report this matter to the Hall Master."

The man in black's tone was icy.

Just then, Chen Yuan walked out of the crowd. "Dead, dead... good, good..."

His eyes were dull, and his face was foolish.

The man in black's eyes turned cold, but he didn't flare up, walking directly out of the courtyard.

It was just that on the second day, someone found Chen Yuan lying in the stinking ditch, his face gnawed by rats, which was quite terrifying.

As two days passed.

The news about the killing of the Sanhe Gang's small leader also spread.

Some neighbors clapped and cheered in private, feeling that the other party had finally met with retribution.

Zhao Erhu had done all kinds of evil in the entire area, which had long made everyone hate him to the bone.

Now that a martial arts expert had taken action to kill the other party, it naturally made everyone very happy.

Sanhe Gang, Fenglei Hall station.

In a large hall.

A middle-aged man sat on a chair like a mountain.

The man was tall, wearing a red tight-fitting suit, his eyes like electricity, and his body was full of evil spirit.

"Have you found out who did it?"

Wang Yong's tone was extremely cold.

As a Hall Master, no one had ever dared to slap him in the face like this.

Even the head of his own gang member had been cut off.

Zhao Erhu had always been valued by him, and he had even offered his own biological sister to him.

The two sides had become relatives.

With his help, the other party had broken through to Skin Refining, and his strength had greatly increased.

He didn't expect that he would be killed in the blink of an eye, which made Wang Yong furious.

His concubine had been making a scene these few days, insisting on finding the murderer.

"Reporting to the Hall Master, it has not been found yet."

The man in black knelt on the open ground, full of awe.

"Investigate this matter with all your might; after finding this person, kill his whole family and bring back his head."

Wang Yong's murderous intent erupted.

Then he waved his hand, letting the man exit the place.

"Subordinate obeys."

Wang Shouren nodded heavily, then turned and walked out of the hall.

It was very appropriate for one of his protectors to investigate this matter.

Presumably, the murderer's strength was only at the Skin Refining realm.

With his martial arts cultivation at the Meat Refining realm, it was enough to kill the other party.

Inside the bedroom.

Lu Changsheng took out the spoils and began to count them.

A stack of silver notes lay quietly on the table.

He counted them, and there were a hundred taels of silver notes.

This was already a huge sum, which made him quite joyful.

Next, he could improve his family's food well; finally, he didn't have to gnaw on black cakes for a long time.

Then he cast his gaze toward the book on the side.

"Iron Leg Technique."

The three large characters were printed on the cover.

Another martial arts manual.

Lu Changsheng paused, then began to read it seriously.

This technique was clearly more exquisite than the Iron Cloth Shirt that was everywhere.

"Swish, swish..."

Soon, bursts of page-turning sounds came from the room.

Half an hour passed, and Lu Changsheng was completely immersed in the technique.

This set of techniques was very complete, not only with technique diagrams but also with the accompanying medicinal baths, which were worth a lot.

"It seems this technique is Zhao Erhu's method of practice."

Even if he couldn't use this technique, he could use it to cultivate subordinates in the future.

Just as Lu Changsheng flipped to the last page.

A blue light screen appeared in the void.

He saw that there was a change in the technique column.

Technique: Iron Cloth Shirt (Great Accomplishment 5%) Iron Leg Technique (Initiated 1%)

After one reading, it was actually initiated directly.

Lu Changsheng was quite surprised.

This must be inseparable from his own Great Accomplishment Iron Cloth Shirt.

The skin membrane of his legs had long begun to transform, saving him the bitter work of initiating it again.

He looked at the technique column, and there was actually a fusion option behind it.

"Could it be...?"

Lu Changsheng was a bit expectant.

According to his guess, in the future, as long as there were a large number of martial arts techniques, they could be fused and evolved until the Iron Cloth Shirt was pushed to the limit.

From then on, collecting martial arts techniques also became his primary goal.

However, he was lacking Source Energy Points at the moment, so he couldn't verify it for the time being.
