Chapter 164: Chapter 91: Giant Whale Exhales! Stunning the Audience!_3
At that moment, a cry of alarm and plea for help arose, it was Lei Zizhen lying on the ground, and beside him stood Sikong Huang, holding the sawtooth blade!
“Stop!”
Meng Sang shouted sternly.
“Tsk!”
However, Sikong Huang did not hold back, and with a swing of the huge sawtooth blade, Lei Zizhen’s screams came to an abrupt end as his head separated from his neck and rolled onto the ground.
“You…” Meng Sang’s eyes reddened with anger. He had been exchanging blows with Su Changkong when Sikong Huang took advantage of the situation to decapitate Lei Zizhen. Despite his intervention, he was unable to save Lei Zizhen, which was undoubtedly a failure!
Sikong Huang’s face bore a malevolent look, “Meng Sang, how dare you lay a hand on my big brother? Are you trying to start a rebellion?”
Meng Sang couldn’t help but change his expression. He wanted to take over the Giant Whale Gang, but plotting to usurp the throne was without legitimacy or eloquence. Not to mention whether he could succeed, even if he did, opposition from disciples supporting the Leader Faction would be enough to cause him great trouble.
“Young Gang Leader, Deputy Gang Leader, why get so upset over three traitors? Let’s sit down and discuss this calmly!”
At that moment, a tall and thin elder with half-white hair stood up and said with a smile.
This was Zhang Lingfeng, the Hall Master of Wind Whale Hall of the Giant Whale Gang. He held one of the four Hall Master positions in the gang, was quite senior, and even with advancing age, his strength firmly placed him in the top ten of the gang. He stepped forward to mediate, fearing the situation might escalate beyond control.
“Indeed! Today is our annual gathering. Any grievances can be settled later. We shouldn’t allow outsiders to laugh at our Giant Whale Gang!”
Immediately another man with red hair and a sturdy build rose to his feet to mediate as well, he was Zhao Tianhuo, the Hall Master of Fire Whale Hall of the Giant Whale Gang.
To prevent the situation from escalating, these originally neutral Hall Masters also came out one after another to break up the fight.
Meng Sang’s expression fluctuated, knowing that he could no longer continue the fight. Being aggressive now, when he was already in the wrong, would likely lead to being attacked by the collective!
So Meng Sang snorted coldly and returned to his original seat.
“Meng Sang’s strength is… very formidable. I’m afraid it’s just half a step away from reaching the level of the Qi-Blood Long Dragon!”
Su Changkong was also shocked by Meng Sang’s power, knowing that if it truly came to a life-and-death struggle, he would definitely not be the match for his current self, so he decided to quit while he was ahead.
“Someone! Take care of these traitors’ bodies, don’t disturb everyone’s enjoyment!”
Su Changkong immediately strolled back to his own seat and gave the order.
“Yes!”
Disciples immediately started to deal with the three bodies on the ground.
“Drink! Let’s continue drinking!”
The atmosphere within the hall seemed to once again become lively as people continued to eat meat and drink wine, yet everyone was naturally shocked by the night’s events.
Meng Sang had ordered Ke Zhenlin and two others to pick a fight deliberately, but Sikong Zhan dealt with it without any tolerance, leading all three to end up dead on the spot.
It even forced Meng Sang himself to take action, and the two had a brief exchange!
“Giant Whale Skill? Was that the Giant Whale Skill the Young Gang Leader just used?”
“Definitely! Who would have thought the Gang Leader would have passed on the Giant Whale Skill to the Young Gang Leader! The Young Gang Leader truly is the heir to the Gang Leader’s position!”
Many of the Giant Whale Gang disciples were whispering among themselves.
The skill Su Changkong had displayed was clearly the Giant Whale Skill!
The Giant Whale Skill, only the successive Gang Leaders of the Giant Whale Gang were qualified to learn.
But the display of the Giant Whale Skill by Su Changkong during his scuffle with Meng Sang made everyone wonder!
The guess was that it must have been taught to Sikong Zhan by Sikong Yong, which was already a clear statement of his stance!
At the gathering, everyone had their own thoughts. Meng Sang had a sullen face, having suffered a great loss, with three of his subordinates dead and Sikong Zhan stealing the limelight!
“Fortunately… this mission is considered complete.”
Su Changkong also let out a sigh of relief in his heart. Having used the Giant Whale Skill to face the enemy, no one suspected that he was not the real Sikong Zhan.
Sikong Huang also felt much more relaxed. She had previously been worried that Su Changkong would expose himself. However, she was overthinking it; Su Changkong was more extraordinary than she had imagined, both brave and strategic, without a trace of stage fright. Young in age, his strength was such that he could easily kill three Deputy Hall Leaders!
It wasn’t until late in the night that the banquet finally ended, and everyone left the scene one after another.
The banquet had just ended, and the one who left the fastest was Meng Sang. For him, he had suffered a great loss this evening and could hardly wait to leave.
“Hmph… I’ll let you gloat for a moment,” Meng Sang muttered in his heart, his lips twisting with ferocity. A man of vengeance for every slight, he resolved to repay today’s loss!
Everyone had their own thoughts as Su Changkong and Sikong Huang, among others, also departed.
“It’s finally over!”
In the quiet hall, Su Changkong removed his disguise and also felt waves of exhaustion.
Impersonating Sikong Zhan at the gathering, where he had to fight with Ke Zhenlin, Meng Sang, and others, and all without revealing his true identity, had taxed both his mind and body!
Fortunately, it all went smoothly, and he should now be able to have some peace for a time.
After a murderous annual gathering, Su Changkong continued to practice martial arts in the hall as usual, until three days later.
That evening, Sikong Huang came to see Su Changkong again, but this time she was accompanied by someone.
It was a robust man with a dignified air, someone Su Changkong was very familiar with, because he had previously impersonated him. This person was indeed the real Young Gang Leader, Sikong Zhan!
Sikong Zhan looked somewhat haggard, just as the rumors said. He had been seriously injured earlier, and he had not yet fully recovered.
“Big brother, this is Master Su,” Sikong Huang introduced Su Changkong to Sikong Zhan.
Sikong Zhan nodded, his face full of a grateful smile: “Brother Su, I truly can’t thank you enough for attending the banquet on my behalf. Otherwise, things could have gotten very complicated!”
With Sikong Zhan’s injuries still unhealed, facing a challenge from Meng Sang, if he had chosen to take action, he likely would have suffered greatly, but Su Changkong’s attendance in his stead not only saw them through the crisis but also enhanced his reputation further!
