Chapter 55

After making up for his defensive technique, Lu Zhangsheng prepared to strike again.

Not long after the last sneak attack on the Sanhe Gang's trade route, the other party was likely relaxed on the outside but tense on the inside, waiting for him at any time.

This time he prepared to change his method and use a feint to attack the east.

With his current body technique, he was like a ghost at night, and ordinary martial artists could hardly catch up with him.

If he went to sneak attack unexpectedly, the effect would definitely be significant.

Before long, Lu Zhangsheng changed into a set of night walker garments and operated 【Bone Shrinking Art】, and his entire face and body changed into a different appearance.

To prevent passersby from accidentally discovering him, he still changed his appearance.

Afterwards, he walked quickly toward the outside of the courtyard.

After leaving the courtyard, he operated the Spiral Nine Transformations body technique, and with a few flashes, he disappeared on the street.

…………

Late at night, West Street.

At a corner.

Lu Zhangsheng hid in the shadows and stopped.

This area happened to be under the jurisdiction of the Sanhe Gang's Wind and Thunder Hall.

Some martial artists at the Protector and Deputy Hall Master level also mostly lived here.

As for the area within the central headquarters, Lu Zhangsheng did not choose to sneak attack for the time being.

His strength was not enough yet.

However, dealing with these martial artists of the branch halls was more than enough.

After collecting information for several months, he had also kept some of the other party's martial artists in his heart.

The courtyard next to him was the residence of a Protector of the Wind and Thunder Hall.

Lu Zhangsheng jumped lightly and jumped into a courtyard on the side.

His figure was like a ghost, and not a single sound was made.

Then he picked up his slaughtering knife and walked quickly toward the main house in front.

"Creak..."

Arriving in front of the house, he pushed the door and entered.

"Who!"

The middle-aged man in the room woke up suddenly and hurriedly reached out to take the short blade from the bedside.

Unfortunately, he was still one step too slow.

Only to see a dazzling cold light flash in the darkness, passing through the man's neck.

"You, you..."

The man covered his neck, unable to say a word, and soon fell onto the bed.

Under a sneak attack, the other party was directly beheaded.

This was also within expectations.

With his own strength, dealing with ordinary Flesh Refining martial artists, and it was a sneak attack, it was simply a dimensionality reduction strike.

Then Lu Zhangsheng searched the room quickly, found a few silver notes and two manuals, and immediately rushed to the next location.

Before long.

He arrived in front of another Protector's residence again.

Following the same method, under another sneak attack, he easily beheaded the other party.

After finishing the looting, he immediately rushed to the next place without stopping.

Throughout the second half of the night, he didn't stop for a moment; he was either sneak attacking or on the way to sneak attacking, specifically looking for Flesh Refining martial artists to strike.

No one could block a single move from him.

This night, the results were extremely fruitful, directly beheading eight of the other party's great generals.

When it was close to dawn, Lu Zhangsheng returned to his own courtyard.

After burning the blood-stained night walker garments, he returned to the bedroom to check the harvest of this trip.

Only to see a large pile of silver notes piled up on the bedside, as well as more than ten manuals.

Covering all kinds of blade techniques and Flesh Refining techniques, and there were even two manuals for body technique and defense.

It was simply an unexpected joy.

With these manuals, the next technique fusion was not far away.

This was just one branch hall; the Sanhe Gang's main headquarters was probably even wealthier, worthy of being the number one gang in the county city.

…………

"Ah..."

When the dawn broke, a scream broke the peace of the Sanhe Gang's Wind and Thunder Hall.

A large number of gang members quickly surrounded them.

Looking at the headless corpse in the room, their expressions were extremely horrified.

"This... who exactly did this?"

An old man's tone was somewhat trembling.

Such scenes were being repeated in the homes of many Protectors.

Soon, a group of gang members reported this matter to the headquarters. Along with it, Hall Master Wang Yong also rushed to the headquarters in a hurry.

Such a big thing happened within his sphere of influence, and he couldn't hide it.

Before long, eight headless corpses were placed quietly in the main hall of the headquarters, and the scene was very creepy.

Several Hall Masters and Deputy Gang Leaders around were all silent, their faces full of disbelief.

They didn't expect that someone would dare to be so unscrupulous; this was equivalent to declaring war on them.

Gang Leader Huang Tianba's face was livid.

"Pa..."

He smashed the teacup in his hand fiercely on the ground.

"Check for me immediately; This Seat wants to know who is so bold?"

At this time, Wang Yong walked up carefully, his expression uneasy: "Could it be that the Haisha Gang did it?"

His hall had consecutive accidents, and even he was hard to blame.

"This is impossible; if the Haisha Gang made a move, we would be the first to know the news."

Huang Tianba shook his head directly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yong frowned directly.

The other party didn't leave any clues at the scene, and all eight people were killed in one blow, which was almost impossible to find.

Did they want them to go and interrogate the Bone Forging experts in the county city one by one? That was simply looking for death.

Even if the other party robbed the manuals and silver, it was difficult to use them as targets.

These manuals were not owned by their family alone; many manuals were shared.

A group of Hall Masters also knew this thorny problem and kept silent one after another.

A moment later.

Wang Yong had to bite the bullet and speak: "Since the other party has made a move once, it is inevitable that there will be a second time; how about we dispatch strong members of the gang to lie in wait for a period of time?"

This period of time was simply an eventful autumn; not only was the trade route attacked repeatedly, but even the martial artists in the gang were sneak-attacked and beheaded, as if someone was staring at them in the dark.

"From now on, all of you be careful; if you find anything abnormal, report it immediately."

Huang Tianba's eyes were cold, and evil energy permeated his body.

If he found the person who made the move in the dark, he would definitely skin them and pull out their bones.

…………

For the next few days, Lu Zhangsheng did not make a move again.

Some things can only be done once in a short period of time; the other party must have become vigilant, and if he rushed out like a reckless youth, it would be easy to be discovered.

He prepared to wait until his strength transformed before proceeding to deal with the Sanhe Gang.

However, now that his martial arts had initially succeeded, it was time to investigate the disappearance of his father.

He always felt that this matter was not that simple.

So many caravan guards disappearing at the same time must have some unknown secrets.

After Lu Zhangsheng finished breakfast, he walked toward the outside of the city.

Rushing all the way, he soon left the city gate.

He quickly arrived in a dense forest, operated the Bone Shrinking Art, changed his stature, and rushed toward the official road in front.

One hour later.

It was still the official road leading to the Prefecture City.

Lu Zhangsheng leaned quietly under a big tree in the forest, looking at the front.

Only to see caravans of carts moving along the official road.

They were covered with flags of various colors.

He did not find the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, which was the target of this trip, and it was also the escort agency that hired his father.

For several consecutive days, he did not find any trace of the other party.

However, Lu Zhangsheng was not in a hurry and had been waiting.

There was only this official road to the Prefecture City, and the other party would appear sooner or later.

Two more days passed.

Early morning.

"Creak..."

A small caravan was driving slowly toward the front, and the carriage was loaded with goods, pressing some traces on the ground.

Several flags were inserted at the front of the carriage, with the two words "Zhenyuan" on them.

A group of big men in front were riding on horseback, looking quite mighty.

Just at this time, Lu Zhangsheng rushed out from the dense forest quickly and blocked the entire caravan in the middle of the road.

"This hero, why block us?"

In the caravan, a middle-aged Escort Master cupped his hands toward Lu Zhangsheng.

Then he took out ten taels of silver from his waist and threw it over.

For him, who had many years of experience in escorting, it was better to avoid trouble than to add it.

He would not easily fight with others.
