Chapter 51

As night fell, Xiao Qi stood behind Yang Yu, Sun Xiaoran and Han Hu held hands, and the four of them walked step by step toward Longhe District. As for Tietou, he insisted on acting alone and hadn't been seen since morning. It was unclear whether he was afraid to face Jia Laosan.

"Yu-zi, it's only been two weeks since we graduated from university, but our lives have already changed dramatically. I can't believe I've become so strong. Do the Heaven-level martial artists and God-level martial artists you mentioned really exist?" Han Hu asked as they walked.

Yang Yu, hearing this, replied, "Of course they exist. I heard from Old Man Liu that there's a monk called Dian who can walk on water. Even Bodhidharma only crossed the river on a reed, so this monk seems even more powerful."

Walking on water!

For them, these novices, such a skill was absolutely something to look up to. Those with such abilities were no different from the legendary immortals, and such martial artists could easily take on ten thousand enemies.

"Master, can you take me to see the Martial Artist Exchange Conference?" Xiao Qi suddenly said.

"Sure, I was going to take you all there anyway. According to Tang Wei, one Martial Token can bring ten people to Chongwu Island. Back in the day, the swordsmith Feng Ye cast a total of ten thousand Martial Tokens, which means a hundred thousand people."

Yang Yu found this number terrifying. With a population of 1.6 billion in the country, a hundred thousand martial artists might seem like a lot, but compared to the massive base, it was just a small number. Becoming a martial artist was really difficult, requiring not only martial arts manuals but also a large amount of cultivation resources.

"Master, Jia Laosan should be in the abandoned factory nearby. We need to be careful now," Sun Xiaoran said.

At some point, Sun Xiaoran had also started calling Yang Yu "Master," while only Han Hu still called him "Yu-zi."

"Right," Yang Yu nodded.

This was the information Su Qi had gathered in the afternoon. Jia Laosan had been scared by the news his two subordinates brought back yesterday. Today, he had gathered all the members of the Liuhetang here, waiting for Yang Yu. If Yang Yu didn't show up, he would directly lead these people to join Zheng Hui.

Jia Laosan was afraid of death. He knew he would die faster in his own territory. A martial artist could easily hide and kill him.

"Don't rush. We still have one more ally who hasn't arrived," Yang Yu stopped walking.

He checked the time; it was 7:30 PM. Tang Wei should be arriving soon.

Whoosh!

The sound of a speeding car caught their attention. A beautiful woman driving a sports car had already pulled up next to them. Tang Wei was wearing a leather outfit, all black, but it was quite sexy.

"Tang Wei from the Tang Family. We are now partners. If you can't handle the situation, ask Tang Wei for help," Yang Yu said, making it clear that Tang Wei was very capable.

"Huotian Sect, Su Qi!" Su Qi introduced herself.

"Huotian Sect, Han Hu!"

"Huotian Sect, Sun Xiaoran!"

Tang Wei glanced at the three of them, and with just one look, she could tell they had some cultivation. The Huotian Sect they mentioned piqued her curiosity, but seeing Yang Yu's smug expression, she held back from asking, wasting the long speech Yang Yu had prepared.

"Yang Yu, this is the only help I can provide you," Tang Wei said, holding out a cylindrical object about the size of two fingers. "This is the Tang Family's Soul-Enchanting Smoke, a kind of mind-altering drug. It will explode on impact, and once it does, the area within ten feet will be filled with the smoke. Anyone who inhales it will fall asleep, but they can be woken up quickly with a splash of water."

Yang Yu was pleasantly surprised. When Tang Wei said she would help, he didn't expect it to be this. The Soul-Enchanting Incense in the Master System had a similar effect, but it was far less effective than the Soul-Enchanting Smoke, which could be used immediately without delay.

"Alright, let's go. You stay here and watch. If anything happens, signal me immediately," Yang Yu said.

Tang Wei didn't know martial arts, which puzzled Yang Yu. He asked her, and it turned out that her constitution determined this. Her meridians were too fine to gather true qi, and her reason for studying medicine was to solve her own constitutional issues.

"Yu-zi, this woman is so beautiful. What's your relationship with her? Don't tell me she's your mistress!" Han Hu whispered.

Yang Yu immediately covered Han Hu's mouth and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense. This woman doesn't care who she kills. If she castrates you, I can't help you."

"What?" Han Hu exclaimed, feeling a chill in his groin. He didn't doubt what Yang Yu said.

The four of them quickly moved forward.

Inside the abandoned factory, they could already hear the noise.

"Third Master, do you really think he'll come back? We've been waiting here for almost an hour. Isn't he just a fearless fool? Is it worth all this trouble?"

"Haha, what a waste of time. My mistress is already undressed and waiting for me. Let's not wait and go back to have some fun."

Jia Laosan's face turned angry. "What do you know? They are all martial artists. You don't know about Tietou, do you? One Tietou can take all of you down."

Hearing this, the subordinates were dismissive, especially the two with guns, who were arrogant, thinking that with a gun in hand, they could do anything. What was Tietou? One shot could take him down.

"Third Master, they're here, they're here!" someone shouted urgently. It was one of the subordinates standing on top of the abandoned factory.

"They're here. Really here? How many are there?" Jia Laosan asked nervously, gripping his gun tighter.

"I didn't see clearly, just saw some shadows. They'll be entering the factory soon," the subordinate replied.

Jia Laosan was furious. "You idiot, if you can't see clearly, why don't you come down? Are you just going to be a target up there?"

The subordinate was stunned and immediately started to jump down. At the same time, a small stone hit his forehead, and he fell from above.

"Who!" one of the men with guns panicked.

"Bang!"

"Ah!"

It was Jia Laosan's scream. He felt as if his thigh had been torn apart, and blood gushed out. He didn't understand how he had been shot. What the hell was going on?

The gunshot stunned everyone. Who had fired the shot? Jia Laosan looked at his own gun, knowing it wasn't him. He then looked at the man standing next to him, whose gun was still smoking.

"Damn it, you shot me! Go to hell!" Jia Laosan was furious. Anyone would be enraged after being shot, especially by their own subordinate.

"Third Master, my hand slipped," the man trembled, pale as if he had lost his mother.

"Slipped my ass! Didn't you say you knew how to use a gun? You can't even hold a pistol steady. Are you trying to kill me on purpose? I'll shoot you right now!" Jia Laosan shouted and fired at the unfortunate man.

"Bang!"

Jia Laosan really fired, but the shot went into the sky. He had lost his balance and fell backward. The unfortunate man was already crouching on the ground, covering his head in fear.

"Ouch!" Jia Laosan looked at his thigh, which was soaked in blood. He estimated that if the bullet had been half an inch deeper, he would have lost his manhood.

One of the more perceptive subordinates had already taken the gun from the unfortunate man and started beating him until he was barely breathing.

Thud!

The warehouse door opened, and Jia Laosan looked up to see a young man in his line of sight. Damn it, he hadn't even seen the person, and he had been shot. He had to kill these bastards; otherwise, he would have no face left in Jinghai City.
