Chapter 68: Chapter 60: The Iron-Cutting Sword with
Profound Mastery! 3
Gong Yangmo, Gong Yang Sun, these are the targets for this time!
“Good, then I’ll head to Maple Leaf Town to take a look.”
Su Changkong stowed the scroll away and spoke to Wang Yun.
“Take care on your journey, Mr. Wen.”
Wang Yun did not urge him to stay, acting swiftly was always best, and if he delayed, perhaps the Gong Yang brothers would have already left Maple Leaf Town.
Su Changkong immediately set off for Maple Leaf Town; the journey of four hundred li took him three hours, and by the time he arrived, it was noon.
Maple Leaf Town was a small town on the edge of Clearwater City, lined with maple trees along its roads, creating a rather beautiful scenery.
As for the Maple Leaf Building, it was a place of entertainment, patronized only by locals with a modest fortune.
“The Gong Yang brothers should come at night, I’ll wait for now and observe discreetly.”
At a table inside the Maple Leaf Building, Su Changkong sat alone.
Both Gong Yang brothers were clan descendants, who had practiced martial arts since childhood and later joined the Black Lotus Sect, making their martial arts cultivation quite extraordinary.
Time ticked away, second by second.
As the daylight gradually faded, the Maple Leaf Building became busier, lit up brightly with joyous song and dance.
“Young master, why not come upstairs?”
Women with slim figures and heavy makeup noticed Su Changkong sitting alone in a corner and called out to him with enchanting voices.
“Don’tbother me!”
Su Changkong frowned, repulsed by the pungent scent of rouge on the woman, and shot her a cold glance.
“Yes…yes.”
Chilled by Su Changkong’s gaze, the woman nodded repeatedly and hurried away, not daring to linger.
“They still haven’t come?”
Su Changkong held a cup of tea; the Gong Yang brothers had yet to show themselves.
“Tang Mo, Tang Sun, the two lords are here! Ladies, why aren’t you coming to greet the guests?”
It wasn’ t until the sky was completely dark that the voice of the enthusiastic brothel madam rang out at the entrance of the Maple Leaf Building.
“The Tang lords are here?”
The girls of the Maple Leaf Building were both pleased and afraid; pleased because these two Tang lords were generous and did not skimp on silver coins, yet fearful for their capricious tempers and bizarre tastes, which were too much for the average person to handle.
“Tang lord, Little Cui misses you so much!”
“Stay overnight today, I’ll make sure to serve you well!”
Still, a large group of girls from the Maple Leaf Building flocked around them, fawning and ingratiating.
“Hahaha! Tonight, we’ll definitely make you little saucy wretches cry and beg for mercy!”
A boisterous laugh erupted.
Su Changkong looked in the direction of the laughter; it came from a burly man with a beard, broad shoulders, and an enormous frame.
Next to the burly man was a refined looking man, about thirty-something years old.
“They are the Gong Yang brothers!”
Su Changkong’s eyes sharpened; the scroll that Wang Yun had given him contained portraits of the Gong Yang brothers.
These two Tang lords were indeed the aliases of the Gong Yang brothers; his targets had finally appeared!
Su Changkong quietly bowed his head and took a crimson Ghost Face mask from his bosom, placing it over his face.
“There’s a killing intent!”
Meanwhile, amidst a group of girls, the Gong Yang brothers simultaneously felt a change in their expressions, acutely aware of a bone-chilling coldness!
“Scram!”
The robust man, Gong Yangmo, the younger brother of the Gong Yang siblings, let out a shout and pushed back the girls who had gathered around them, causing them to stagger back and fall to the ground.
And the refined Gong Yang Sun also had a grave look on his face.
Both of them caught sight of a man in a corner of the first floor, wearing a red ghost mask, who had stood up from beside a table and was staring at them.
“Ghost Face!”
Both Gong Yangmo and Gong Yang Sun’s hearts jolted with fear.
Ghost Face, a martial artist who had emerged from nowhere over the past two months, had a mysterious identity, and specifically targeted Black Lotus Sect disciples. In just two short months, six or seven Black Lotus Sect disciples within the territory of Clearwater City had fallen victim to his deadly hands!
Now that Ghost Face had appeared before them, his intention was clear without having to ask!
“Be careful!”
Gong Yang Sun yelled to warn his brother.
Five Animal Frolics. Foraging Tiger!
Without any unnecessary words, Su Changkong moved instantly, like a fierce tiger pouncing on its prey, charging forward directly. The tables and chairs in his path were smashed into pieces, and the wind from his charge caused the candle flames to flicker violently!
The distance of several meters vanished in a flash, and Su Changkong’s right fist struck out, tearing through the air with a ripping sound!
“Shattered Mountain Fist!”
The bulky Gong Yangmo stepped out, his muscles bulging and eyes wide open with fury. He dared not take any chances, pushing his strength to the peak. His right arm’s muscles tensed, veins bulging, as he fiercely met Su Changkong’s powerful punch with his own.
“Bang!”
The two fists collided heavily, exploding like firecrackers.
Crack!
In the crisp sound of breaking bones, Gong Yangmo’s fingers shattered, his wrist twisted bizarrely, and a massive force crushed it, rendering his arm useless. His large frame staggered back in retreat, tripping over the threshold behind him and falling flat on his back, in complete disarray.
Achieving the Divine Bravery Stage through Body Refinement Great Achievement such martial artists were counted on one’s fingers in the Clearwater City area.
Su Changkong had overpowered the robust Gong Yangmo with just one strike! Swoosh!
Gong Yang Sun did not just stand by idly. As Su Changkong repelled Gong Yangmo, he wielded a folding fan made from fine steel, its sharp tip no different from a dagger or blade. He aimed a tricky stab at Su Changkong’s heart!
This stab seemed to catch Su Changkong off-guard, landing firmly; usually, even martial artists who practiced Horizontal Training Hard Skill could hardly withstand the piercing of sharp weapons.
“Clang!”
But Gong Yang Sun’s fan, striking the area over Su Changkong’s heart, rang out as if hitting metal, resulting in a clear metallic clash!
Underneath Su Changkong’s clothing was a chainmail shirt made of gold thread, with vital areas like the heart especially thickened for stronger defense. Gong Yang Sun’s fan tip couldn’t pierce through at all!
“Inner armor?”
Gong Yang Sun was visibly stunned, not expecting that a martial artist of Su Changkong’s caliber would still wear metal inner armor—how afraid of death must he be!
Su Changkong’s hand had already reached out, grasping Gong Yang Sun’s wrist with a force tightening like iron.
“Crack, crack, crack!”
Gong Yang Sun immediately let out a piercing scream; his wrist bones were crushed, pain causing cold sweat to bead on his forehead.
Gong Yang Sun dared not struggle and called out with a sweaty forehead, “Stop… stop! We are disciples of the Black Lotus Sect, let’s talk this over!”
But Su Changkong’s target was Black Lotus Sect disciples; he showed no mercy, gripping Gong Yang Sun’s wrist in one hand, while his left fist smashed towards Gong Yang Sun’s face.
“Boom!”
His heavy iron fist collapsed Gong Yang Sun’s nasal bridge, caving in his entire face with a deep imprint of his fist, killing him on the spot!
