Chapter 324: Chapter 134 Dragon Blood Pill! The Omnipotent Su Tailai!_1
And Hong Zhenxiang also understood that what Chai Zheng said was true; the person known as Su Tailai was indeed the mysterious expert who had killed Mu Jin. To avoid the Mu Family’s pursuit, he had hidden in the Dafeng Iron Cavalry camp, and had done so very deeply, without a single person noticing.
In response to Hong Zhenxiang’s words, Su Changkong organized his wording before he spoke, “It was Mu Jin who insisted on killing me, so I could only fight back in self-defense.”
As he spoke, Su Changkong quietly concentrated on restoring the Blade Gang inside his body, vigilant that Hong Zhenxiang might make a move!
“Mu Jin is of a noble family’s bloodline, indeed a senseless madman,” Hong Zhenxiang said.
People from noble families, more or less, all have some abnormalities, which are related to the bloodlines they inherit.
“You don’t have to be hostile towards me; just now, when you broke out of the encirclement, you didn’t kill anyone from our Dafeng Iron Cavalry, and you even helped me kill the traitor Chai Zheng. I’m just very curious about you. Can we meet frankly?”
Hong Zhenxiang stared at Su Changkong as he spoke, seemingly without any intention of forcing a confrontation.
Su Changkong hesitated slightly, but knowing that his identity had been exposed and hiding would be useless, he might as well meet openly and speak clearly. Judging from their initial encounter at the Giant Whale Gang, this Hong Zhenxiang did not seem like an unreasonable person.
On guard that Hong Zhenxiang might suddenly strike, Su Changkong removed his mask.
Below the mask was a handsome, young face.
“So young!”
Hong Zhenxiang was also astonished, having assumed that someone with Su Changkong’s abilities must be at least middle-aged, yet the person before him was in his twenties, a young man!
“Are you from a noble family?” Hong Zhenxiang couldn’t help but ask.
“I don’t have such a prestigious background, I’m just an ordinary person born in the countryside,” Su Changkong shook his head.
This caused Hong Zhenxiang to nod slightly. If Su Changkong were truly from a noble family, he wouldn’t have needed to hide in the Dafeng Iron Cavalry’s camp after killing Mu Jin but would have had his own family’s protection.
As for Su Changkong saying he was a person from the countryside, Hong Zhenxiang was somewhat skeptical, but he himself also had a humble origin and did not question further.
Su Changkong said directly, “Commander Hong, I joined the Casting Department and have been diligently working there for half a year without any ill intent. I only wanted to avoid the Mu Family’s pursuit. It was because Chai Zheng deceived me that I ended up among those rebels. In fact, I was preparing to break away on the road.”
Su Changkong spoke very sincerely.
At the same time, Su Changkong remained secretly vigilant; if Hong Zhenxiang really wanted to attack, then he would have no choice but to fight with all his might!
“This young man killed Chai Zheng and is not with the rebels, and he possesses such skill at a young age… truly rare!” Hong Zhenxiang thought quickly. “If such a person is an enemy, he must be eliminated! If not an enemy, then we should try to form a good relationship!”
Thereupon, Hong Zhenxiang spoke, “Your name is Su Tailai, right? Why not become friends?”
“Ah?” Su Changkong was startled and slightly failed to follow Hong Zhenxiang’s train of thought.
Hong Zhenxiang smiled lightly, “When I was your age, I might not have been as capable as you! I admire you, so I want to make friends, have meals and drinks together, and exchange martial arts knowledge. Wouldn’t you like that?”
“For a hero like Commander Hong to want to be friends with me is certainly more than I could ask for!” After pondering for a moment, Su Changkong nodded in agreement, and it was not simply flattery.
Hong Zhenxiang was indeed a person whom even Sikong Yong had great respect for before his demise.
Hong Zhenxiang, from humble beginnings, was naturally gifted, possessing strength at five years of age comparable to martial artists in the Divine Strength Realm. As a youth, he had already become a formidable fighter in the Dafeng State City, unbeatable by any challenger.
Later on, Hong Zhenxiang became famous for suppressing rebellions and maintaining the security of Dafeng State City, a hero truly worthy of his status and position.
Since Hong Zhenxiang was willing to initiate friendship, Su Changkong naturally had no reason to refuse.
Besides, if not a friend, then an enemy! And Hong Zhenxiang might not let him leave peacefully!
After all, Su Changkong had hidden in the military camp to seek refuge, which indeed brought some trouble and concern to the Dafeng Iron Cavalry, whether they chose to pursue the matter or not.
Seeing that Su Changkong had agreed, Hong Zhenxiang showed a smile on his face. He said, “I am more than a decade older than you, so I will call you Younger Brother Su. I have some matters to handle today. Where do you live? After I deal with things at hand, we can get together and have a proper gathering.”
“Ivy Manor in Feng State City.”
Su Changkong hesitated for a moment before giving the address of the manor he had rented in Feng State City.
“I won’t keep you any longer, Younger Brother Su,” Hong Zhenxiang said, nodding upon hearing this.
Su Changkong was surprised that Hong Zhenxiang let him leave just like that?
But Su Changkong certainly did not wish to fight Hong Zhenxiang, and since there was no enmity between them, he said, “Then I shall take my leave now.”
Su Changkong turned and left, while Hong Zhenxiang watched his figure disappear into the distance.
“What a formidable blade technique, is that Blade Gang? For someone of such a young age to have mastered blade technique to this extent is indeed astonishing talent!”
Hong Zhenxiang looked at Chai Zheng’s corpse on the ground and couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
Hong Zhenxiang himself was a martial arts genius with extraordinary talent. At the age of five, he had the strength to lift cauldrons, rivaling martial artists in the Divine Strength Realm. As a youth, he was already an unmatched powerhouse in Feng State City.
And now, this mysterious young man called Su Tailai, with his talent and potential, seemed to be no less than his own, so Hong Zhenxiang naturally wanted to form a good relationship with him.
“Let’s head over there first to take a look. Has Old Jin not dealt with Wei Chiao yet?”
