Chapter 10: Killing

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

He prepared to let the other party finish his business and then take action late at night.

Only then would it be the time when Zhao Erhu was most relaxed.

Time passed slowly.

An hour passed quickly.

The lights in the courtyard began to go out.

Lu Zhangsheng put on a mask, took out the pig-slaughtering knife, and walked quickly toward the courtyard ahead.

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

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

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

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

"Bang..."

He kicked open the wooden door, and in the unbelievable eyes of Zhao Erhu and Zhang Guafu, he rushed to the front of the two, 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 indoor environment, and he would be discovered sooner or later.

Moreover, the movement of opening such an old wooden door was not small.

"Not good, a strong person is attacking."

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

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

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

At most, he bullied some commoners.

Time was pressing, and he didn't have time to think. In Zhang Guafu's desperate eyes, he directly picked up the other party and threw her forward.

At this moment of life and death, 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 beside 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 Skin Refining, and coupled with the treasure 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 Zhang Guafu was directly cut into two halves, falling to the ground, and a large amount of blood sprayed out.

Lu Zhangsheng's expression was extremely cold, without the slightest mercy.

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

"Kill."

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

The long knife in his hand was a treasure knife close to a hundred-tempered, which he had bought at a huge price.

The attacker actually dared to slash at him; he was really overestimating himself.

He was also full of confidence in his heart.

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

When Zhao Erhu took action, Lu Zhangsheng realized that the other party was actually a Skin Refining martial artist, and the weapon in his hand was quite extraordinary.

Fortunately, he wasn't reckless and didn't come to find trouble before breaking through; otherwise, the consequences would be 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 Zhangsheng's pig-slaughtering knife still killed Zhao Erhu with rainbow-like momentum.

In the other party's unbelievable eyes, accompanied by a scream, a huge head soared into the sky.

Blood sprayed and dyed the entire wooden bed red.

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

"Phew..."

Lu Zhangsheng breathed a sigh of relief lightly; if it weren't for the hundred-tempered pig-slaughtering knife in his hand today, he would probably have to spend some effort.

If he accidentally let the other party escape, it would be a failure.

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

This also gave Lu Zhangsheng a new understanding of the route to improve strength in the future.

Martial arts realm was the foundation of everything, and besides that, weapons and martial arts were equally 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 he have hope of a comeback.

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

He felt around the other party's bosom carefully, searched out a stack of silver notes and a book, and tucked them into his bosom.

Then he turned and left.

The next day, early morning.

Early in the morning, Zhang Guafu'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 killing 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.

Everyone didn't know who Zhao Erhu had offended, so they had to pretend to be dead and keep silent.

"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.

Only on the second day, someone discovered that Chen Yuan had fallen into the stinking ditch, his face gnawed by rats, which was quite terrifying.

As two days passed.

The news of the Sanhe Gang's small leader being killed also spread.

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

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

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 main hall.

A middle-aged man sat on a chair with his legs apart.

The man was tall, dressed in red tight-fitting clothes, his eyes like electricity, and his body was full of evil spirit.

"Have you found out who did it?"

Wang Yong's tone was very cold.

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

Even the head of his own gang member was cut off.

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

The two sides smoothly became relatives.

With his help, the other party even broke through Skin Refining, and his strength 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 past 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 space on one knee, full of awe.

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

Killing intent erupted in Wang Yong's eyes.

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

"Subordinate obeys orders."

Wang Shouren nodded heavily and then walked out of the main 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 in the Flesh Refining realm, it was enough to kill the other party.

In the bedroom.

Lu Zhangsheng 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 of money, which made him quite joyful.

Next, he could improve his family's food, and finally, he didn't have to chew black cakes for a long time.

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

"Iron Leg Skill."

Three large characters were printed quietly on the cover.

Another martial arts manual.

Lu Zhangsheng paused in his heart and began to read it seriously.

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

"Swish, swish..."

Soon, bursts of flipping sounds came from the room.

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

This set of techniques was very complete, not only with technique atlases but even the matching medicinal bath was included, which was worth a lot.

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

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

Just as Lu Zhangsheng flipped to the last page.

A blue light screen appeared in the void.

He saw changes in the technique column.

Technique: Iron Cloth Shirt (Major Completion 5%) Iron Leg Skill (Entered 1%)

After one reading, it actually entered the technique directly.

Lu Zhangsheng was quite surprised.

This must have something to do with his own major completion Iron Cloth Shirt.

The skin membrane on his legs had already begun to transform, saving the hard work of entering again.

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

"Could it be...?"

Lu Zhangsheng was somewhat 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, his own Source Energy Points were lacking at the moment, so he couldn't verify it temporarily.
