Chapter 161: Chapter 90: Bloody Banquet! A Clean Cut in Two!_3
However, Sikong Huang’s heart was filled with hidden worries. She feared that Su Changkong would not be able to handle these three Deputy Hall Leaders who had all reached the Qi-Blood Realm, and she also feared that in the process, Su Changkong would give himself away and be recognized as not being Sikong Zhan himself.
But Su Changkong gave her a reassuring look. Su Changkong had always been a person who might not repay kindness but would definitely seek revenge!
Meng Sang had previously sent people to assassinate him, and now, Su Changkong had decided to take action to sabotage Meng Sang’s plans, to cause him losses and frustration!
Apart from that, it was also to repay the favor for Sikong Huang providing him with the Giant Whale Skill and cultivation resources.
“Want to marry my sister? You, come forward and let me have a good look at you!”
Su Changkong’s face showed no expression, his emotions not apparent, as he stared at Ke Zhenlin, who had spoken first.
Ke Zhenlin, under the gaze of Su Changkong’s eyes, found his heartbeat accelerating uncontrollably, but he was not an ordinary character. He quickly calmed himself and walked forward with a smile, saying, “My loyalty is sincere, I ask the Young Gang Leader to decide!”
As he spoke, Ke Zhenlin even knelt on one knee, his voice full of emotion!
But suddenly, Ke Zhenlin’s heart trembled; up close, he saw Su Changkong, seated on the tiger-skin chair, looking down at him with cold, ruthless eyes that shimmered with a bloodthirsty glare, like a shark that had smelled blood, eyeing a delicious prey!
“Not good!”
Ke Zhenlin’s eyelid twitched; he sensed danger.
Su Changkong, seated on the tiger-skin chair, had at some point rested his hand on the Sawtooth Blade beside the chair, and had already adjusted his body angle—Su Changkong had practiced this drawing move countless times.
“Clang!”
Su Changkong suddenly rose, the Sawtooth Blade freeing itself from the scabbard. This blade was forged from fine iron, its edge like the serrated teeth of a shark; it was Sikong Zhan’s accompanying sword.
At this moment, with the Sawtooth Blade unsheathed, Su Changkong held the sword with one hand, aiming a downward blow at Ke Zhenlin, who was half-kneeling on the ground!
This strike, long in the making, was as quick as lightning, yet it bore the weight of a heavy hammer that could shatter iron rocks, falling from the heavens above. It was Su Changkong’s Iron Cutting Blade Technique, nearing the transcendental realm!
Turtle Breathing True Qi ran quietly, and there was an inch-thick layer of Blade Qi condensed on the blade.
Even though Ke Zhenlin had long been guarded against Su Changkong striking, he could never have expected the other party to act so decisively and fiercely, starting with a killing move without showing the slightest bit of mercy!
Ke Zhenlin didn’t even have time to draw his sword to fight back, and with one knee on the ground, dodging was not an option. He gritted his teeth, his Qi and Blood boiling, veins on his forehead bulging, as he brought his hands together forcefully, hoping to use the Bare Hand Intercepts Blade technique to block Su Changkong’s strike.
“Puchi!”
However, Ke Zhenlin clearly felt what it meant to be as feeble as a mantis trying to stop a chariot. His hands failed to stop the falling Sawtooth Blade; it continued to slash down, accompanied by the sounds of flesh tearing and bones splitting, causing Ke Zhenlin’s body to shake violently.
“I… I…”
Ke Zhenlin’s eyes bulged, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, his eyes filled with unwillingness and fear. As a deputy hall leader, a prominent figure in the Giant Whale Gang, was he to die so wretchedly in front of everyone?
“Whoosh!”
Ke Zhenlin’s body split in two, blood and viscera spilled across the floor, a stench of blood permeated the air, making many of the disciples in the hall slightly pale.
Sikong Huang couldn’t help but be startled and shocked. Su Changkong’s action was too decisive, his execution ruthless. To him, killing a person seemed as easy as chopping a piece of firewood, and it was extremely difficult to reconcile this image with that of the kind, humble Alchemy Master Su.
The hall fell silent. Wang Yi and Lei Zizhen, who had been clamorous before, now seemed as if their throats were gripped, unable to utter a word.
No one would have thought that Ke Zhenlin, a deputy hall leader of the Giant Whale Gang, would be bisected so readily without a word from Sikong Zhan, leaving him dead on the spot!
Even Meng Sang was somewhat stunned. In his understanding, Sikong Zhan was a man of deep schemes and shouldn’t have acted so impulsively.
Su Changkong’s face was expressionless at the moment, but it was as calm before a storm. His tiger-like eyes coldly gazed at Wang Yi and Lei Zizhen, “Huanger is my dearest family member. Anyone who wishes to marry her must ask my sword first! You two still want to marry my sister? Then come forward! Let me see your sincerity!”
On the ground, the two halves of Ke Zhenlin’s body still faintly showed a beating heart, causing the cheeks of the people present to twitch slightly. They indeed saw the real “heart”!
Wang Yi, intimidated by Su Changkong’s murderous aura, couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. He forced a smile and said, “Young Gang Leader… I think I was too presumptuous. Matters of life should be thought over for the long term!”
“Right, right, right… One should not abandon the wife of his humble home, I still have a wife and concubines to take care of at home,” Lei Zizhen also added in haste.
Previously, they had heard from Meng Sang that Sikong Zhan was seriously injured and would not make a move easily. They were supposed to provoke him, but Sikong Zhan’s strike just now seemed like an exploding thunderbolt; did that look like someone injured?
The two hastily bowed their heads.
But Su Changkong let out a ferocious laugh, “Just now you both claimed you were willing to give your all for my sister, and now you cower at the smallest scare? Were you mocking me earlier? That’s insubordination, and according to the gang’s rules, you should be put to death!”
With that, Su Changkong sheathed his Sawtooth Blade and made his way toward Lei Zizhen and Wang Yi with large strides.
Now that he had taken action, he had to eradicate the evil thoroughly, root and branch; otherwise, it might invite doubt. In Su Changkong’s understanding, Sikong Zhan was a person who had killed many enemies and was known for his ruthless tactics. Since he was playing Sikong Zhan, he had to do it convincingly!
As Su Changkong approached, Lei Zizhen and Wang Yi unconsciously stepped back. The rest watched with cold eyes. They quickly looked to Meng Sang for help, and Meng Sang couldn’t help but speak up, “Young Gang Leader, let it go. These two were just… joking around…”
“Shut up!” Su Changkong interrupted Meng Sang sharply and coldly said to the two, “Make your move! It’s your only chance to live!”
Sikong Huang watched this scene with a complicated gaze. “He seems… even more ‘big brother’ than big brother himself!”
“Don’t force us!” Lei Zizhen and Wang Yi’s eyes turned red. Su Changkong before them instilled fear in their hearts, his advance felt like stepping directly on their chests, but they were martial artists who had undergone Qi Blood Metamorphosis in the Qi-Blood Realm. Faced with Su Changkong’s pressure, they wouldn’t just sit and wait for death, and a fierce look appeared on their faces. They had to fight with everything they had!
