Chapter 13: How about it, still fighting? (Chapter Three!)

On the street.

Black Tiger Gang Leader Lin Xiaotian, feeling emotional, wore a light gold robe, walking along the prosperous street, gazing at the rows of shops on both sides.

These were his achievements in the first half of his life.

They came from him constantly going through knives and guns, fighting his way out.

Having come this far in life, what more could he ask for?

If there is one thing he seeks, it is the path of martial arts.

He has dabbled in the martial path for decades, yet he is only at the late stage of the second level of Blood Qi.

He has always found it difficult to break into the third level realm.

The martial path requires not only resources, but also talent.

Even if resources are sufficient, lacking talent leaves no way forward.

Mastering even an ordinary martial art would take him seven to eight years, or even over a decade, to achieve great accomplishment.

If he trains in multiple martial arts, the time required is even longer.

Now over fifty, he wonders if there is still any chance to break through to the third level of Blood Qi.

"Gang Leader, Xiao Tao Hong has already agreed; tonight she is willing to share the bed."

A Black Tiger Gang member hurried over, speaking with a smile.

"Oh? She finally agreed, let's go."

Lin Xiaotian's eyes lit up.

Surrounded by many Black Tiger Gang members, he walked forward.

"Come on, big guy."

"Come play a bit."

Inside a brothel, many flirtatious women laughed as they solicited customers.

The scent of rouge and powder could be smelled from far away.

Lin Xiaotian smiled broadly and rushed straight into that brothel.

Xiao Tao Hong was the top courtesan of the Drunken Moon Pavilion, selling her art but not her body.

He had pursued her for a long time; now she finally agreed to share his bed, making his life's path more complete.

Squeak!

Lin Xiaotian pushed the door open, smiling, and looked at the woman sitting on the bed inside—her figure slender, clad in a pink long dress—his heart impatient, feeling a fiery heat burning in his abdomen.

"Xiao Tao Hong, rest assured; if you serve me well as gang leader, from now on no one in Qingyang City will dare to move against you, haha."

Lin Xiaotian laughed loudly and lunged straight at her.

Although the woman wanted to resist, she lacked strength and was quickly pressed down onto the bed.

The bed emitted a creaking sound.

A few minutes later.

Lin Xiaotian exhaled deeply, satisfied, gazing at the lovely beauty, and slapped her tender buttocks, feeling utterly pleased.

"Gang Leader Lin, can we talk now?"

A gloomy, hoarse voice suddenly sounded.

"Who?"

Lin Xiaotian's expression changed; he snapped his head back, eyes flashing like lightning.

On one side of the room, behind the screen, a black-clad figure had appeared at some unknown time.

When had the person entered? He hadn't noticed at all.

"Who are you?"

Lin Xiaotian hastily grabbed his clothes, quickly put them on, and spoke in surprise.

"I have a matter to ask of you, Gang Leader Lin; please don't be nervous."

The black-clad figure's hoarse voice said: "As for me, I do have a grudge against the Black Tiger Gang; it depends on whether Gang Leader Lin wishes to resolve it."

Lin Xiaotian quickly finished dressing, moved to behind the screen, and instantly fixed his gaze on the black-clad figure before him.

He saw that the person had an upright stature, wore a black hood, and his face was hidden.

Seated upright, he was as deep and steady as an abyss and a mountain, his aura profound, making him hard to discern.

Lin Xiaotian's heart surged; he immediately judged that the person had not come to attack.

Otherwise, if he had taken advantage of his unpreparedness just now and struck with a palm, he would surely not fare well.

"You say we have some grudge; what grudge is it that I, Lin, don't recall?"

Lin Xiaotian inquired.

"Wu Da Feng."

Fang Yi hoarsely spoke the three words.

"It was you who did it!"

Lin Xiaotian's face changed drastically; he hastily held his breath, quickly retreated, and then suddenly circulated his blood strength to sense his body.

Fearful of falling victim to Fang Yi's scheme.

He well knew the terror of a poison expert.

If he were truly poisoned, the consequences would be unthinkable.

But fortunately, his blood strength circulated smoothly, with no abnormality felt.

"What Wu Da Feng did has nothing to do with my Black Tiger Gang, and I, Lin, know nothing of his affairs; you must be mistaken."

Lin Xiaotian explained.

"Do you believe this yourself?"

Fang Yi looked at Lin Xiaotian.

Lin Xiaotian's face sank, he fell silent momentarily, then after a moment he said in a low voice: "What do you intend to do?"

"I only ask one thing: the Blood-Strengthening Pill."

Fang Yi said hoarsely.

"You want to buy the Blood-Strengthening Pill?"

Lin Xiaotian's eyes flashed, he suddenly understood, and said: "Indeed, the Blood-Strengthening Pill is not sold on the market; it is extremely precious, monopolized by the upper echelons, released periodically, trickling into the hands of major powers. I indeed know a place where one can obtain it."

He glanced at Fang Yi, eyes narrowing slightly, and said: "However, if I were to simply give you this information, it would be too trivial."

"Huh?"

Fang Yi immediately looked at Lin Xiaotian.

Lin Xiaotian's blood energy circulated, qi and blood surged, power flowed endlessly, having already protected his whole body, he said indifferently: "To be frank, I have long admired your strength; now that we've met, why not let me broaden my horizons?"

He really wanted to test Fang Yi.

Today, being sought out by Fang Yi, if he were to silently comply, word would spread, damaging his reputation as gang leader.

He and Fang Yi exchanged blows, also conveniently measuring Fang Yi's strength.

If Fang Yi's strength is indeed formidable, he will naturally comply.

If his strength is lacking, today he'd better not think of leaving alive.

"Really?"

Fang Yi's voice hoarse, eyes icy, he slowly rose from his seat and said: "Since that's the case, let us exchange a palm."

He raised a palm, palm thick and solid, five fingers fair-skinned, appearing normal on the surface, but inwardly his blood energy condensed, deadly poison surging like turbulent waves.

"Good!"

Lin Xiaotian narrowed his eyes and said: "Then let's try a palm!"

He stepped forward with his foot, his body seeming to teleport, instantly crossing three meters, he raised his palm, fingers thick and large, and slammed a heavy palm toward Fang Yi.

Fang Yi's eyes turned cold, and he instantly struck out with his palm.

Pa!

The palms' force collided instantly in the room, producing a thunderclap-like sound.

Invisible ripples instantly shook the room's tables and chairs, causing them to collapse violently.

Teacups shattered one after another.

A scorching, pungent odor surged directly in the air.

Little Peach-Red's pretty face on the bed turned pale, showing shock, and she hurriedly shrank into the blankets.

After the palm, Lin Xiaotian's face drastically changed, his body lurching backward, he retreated two or three meters in an instant.

He quickly looked at his own palm.

He felt a stinging pain in his palm, a scorching breath tearing through his blood energy, rushing straight into his body, causing intense pain in his flesh and bones, as if his bones were melting.

"Poison palm? You practice poison palm?"

Lin Xiaotian exclaimed in shock.

He had thought the opponent merely possessed deep poison ability.

He never imagined the opponent's technique also contained deadly poison!

Moreover, this poison is extremely terrifying.

It actually attached itself to his blood energy in an instant, now spreading along his blood energy throughout his body.

"How about it, still fighting?"

Fang Yi's voice hoarse, eyes icy.
