Chapter 71: Chapter 61: Dark Moon, High Wind! Death Star Hanging High!_3
“Who’s there?”
Instantly, a pair of alert eyes looked over, and several members of the Black Cavalry Gang even drew their weapons, ready for combat.
Rustle!
Exposed from his hiding place, Su Changkong had no choice but to crawl out of the bushes, patting some leaves and dust off his body.
Cao Hong looked over with a hint of solemnity in his eyes, “I actually failed to detect his presence just now?”
As the Second Master of the Black Cavalry Gang and one of its top experts, Cao Hong, who had reached the Body Refinement Great Achievement, had not sensed Su Changkong hiding in the bushes. This demonstrated that the latter was extraordinary!
The other Black Cavalry Gang martial artists also looked over vigilantly, all with ill-intent in their eyes. They believed that the young man in black was most likely associated with Yu Jiao and a disciple of the White Jade Gang.
Facing pairs of murderous glances, Su Changkong said in a deep voice, “Everyone, I really don’t know this woman. It’s up to you whether you want to kill her or do whatever else. I was just passing by and hid because I didn’t want to disturb you. I’ll be leaving now to avoid further trouble!”
Having said that, Su Changkong turned and prepared to leave. He certainly didn’t want to be used as a pawn by this Yu Jiao, not to mention facing off against the Second Master of the Black Cavalry Gang!
“Stop right there!”
But two black-clad martial artists blocked Su Changkong’s path. It was quite clear that if Su Changkong was a companion of Yu Jiao, he could not be allowed to leave. Even if he were truly a passerby, they would have to silence him. Better to kill mistakenly than to let go!
Su Changkong’s face turned cold, realizing their intentions. If that were the case, then he would have to show his strength and let them know that he was not someone to be trifled with!
“Bang!”
Su Changkong suddenly swung his arm, his long and powerful limb smashing towards a small tree as thick as a bowl.
“Crack!”
The strike was extremely powerful, and the tree, as thick as a bowl, let out a groan under the strain. With Su Changkong’s blow, it broke in half, the top part smashing down to the ground with a thunderous noise!
This scene shocked the two Black Cavalry Gang martial artists who had intercepted Su Changkong. They instinctively took a step back, their pupils shrinking slightly, “A martial artist of the Divine Strength Realm?”
To break a tree as thick as a bowl with one’s hands was a feat of at least a martial artist from the Divine Strength Realm and above!
“Second Master Cao, I am not an ordinary individual. Your grudge has nothing to do with me. I did not witness anything tonight, nor will I spread the word. I hope Second Master Cao does not give me a hard time,” Su Changkong said as he broke the tree, looking at Cao Hong.
This made Cao Hong internally surprised, “A martial artist of the Divine Strength Realm and so young? I haven’t heard of such a person in the White Jade Gang. Could he really just be a passing martial artist?”
Cao Hong, of course, had no desire to invite complications or increase casualties among his men. Seeing Su Changkong demonstrate his power and composure, his expression shifted subtly, and he remained silent, implicitly accepting Su Changkong’s words!
If it had just been an ordinary martial artist, killing him would be no issue, but a martial artist from the Divine Strength Realm and above was of a completely different caliber.
After all, the enmity between the Black Cavalry Gang and the White Jade Gang was well-known. In fact, it was insignificant if Su Changkong were to spread what happened tonight. It wasn’t necessary to offend a martial artist from the Divine Strength Realm and above and to fight to the death over it.
“A martial artist of the Divine Strength Realm?” Yu Jiao was surprised to encounter a passing martial artist of the Divine Strength Realm here, but she also felt disappointed, knowing that Cao Hong decided to seek peace and not make an enemy of Su Changkong.
Su Changkong let out a soft breath. While he harbored great hostility towards the Black Cavalry Gang, currently he did not want to be foolishly used as a tool, especially against the formidable Cao Hong.
Just as Su Changkong was preparing to leave and the rest of the Black Cavalry Gang martial artists received Cao Hong’s signal not to obstruct him, an unexpected event occurred!
“It’s… it’s him! He killed the Young Gang Leader!”
At that moment, one of the Black Cavalry Gang martial artists pointed at Su Changkong, his eyes wide and somewhat stuttering, shouting excitedly.
These words stunned everyone present—Cao Hong, Yu Jiao, and even Su Changkong himself!
“What did you say?” Cao Hong looked at the Black Cavalry Gang martial artist.
The black-clad martial artist pointed at Su Changkong, his voice excited, “It’s him… Over a year ago, in the battle with the White Jade Gang, it was him who defeated the Young Gang Leader and chopped off his head! I saw it with my own eyes!”
The black-clad martial artist was very excited; he had been one of the hundred or so Black Cavalry Gang knights who had participated in the raid on the White Jade Gang headquarters. He had personally witnessed the scene of Su Changkong killing Shi Hanshan.
Now, more than a year later, although Su Changkong’s current identity and appearance were that of “Wen Tai,” the black-clad martial artist could vaguely recognize that the person before him was the young martial artist who had killed Shi Hanshan!
A martial artist from the Divine Strength Realm, a young man, and his subordinate’s identification.
Cao Hong’s gaze instantly turned sharp, staring intently at Su Changkong, “Are you the martial artist who killed my nephew?”
The rest of the Black Cavalry Gang martial artists also blocked Su Changkong’s path.
Su Changkong felt somewhat resigned; he had not expected to be recognized!
“I didn’t intend to kill anyone tonight. Why… must you seek death!”
Su Changkong sighed, a layer of frost appearing on his face as his pitch-black eyes seemed to flicker with a cold light in the darkness.
“Die!”
As the word ‘die’ left his lips, it exploded like thunderbolts, echoing through the pitch-black woods and making the leaves tremble. Most of the Black Cavalry Gang martial artists felt dizzy with the roar, their vision darkening.
A martial artist of the Divine Bravery Stage, one who had undergone a metamorphosis of spirit and body, reaching the pinnacle of a Body Refinement martial artist. A single angry roar full of divine might could intimidate others and tremble their hearts and minds!
