Immortality Martial Arts: I Started with the Five Animals Health Fist
Chapter 82: Iron Beast Armor! The Storm is Coming!_iSu Changkong naturally wouldn’t know that, hundreds of miles away, Shi Zijian, the Gang Leader of the Black Cavalry Gang, had already sworn to kill him and was eager to do so!
Su Changkong led a peaceful life, practicing punches, blade work, forging, caring for his blade, and cultivating the Turtle Breath Technique. On his days off, he would go to Clearwater City to gather intelligence on disciples of the Black Lotus Sect from County Magistrate Wang Yun.
However, Su Changkong found that killing nearly ten disciples of the Black Lotus Sect was still useful, as it made the disciples in the Clearwater City area much more subdued. Some even deliberately concealed their whereabouts, which led to Su Changkong returning empty-handed from the locations mentioned in the intelligence reports three times in a row.
This left Su Changkong helpless; indeed, such a lucrative trade was not sustainable!
Ginseng Town, Ginseng Manor.
Su Changkong visited Ginseng Manor once again to see Manor Lord Liu Feng, with the purpose, of course, being to procure the medicinal ingredients needed for the Boiling Blood Scatter.
Having looked at Su Changkong’s purchase list, Liu Feng frowned and said, “Mr. Wen, most of the ingredients on this list can be obtained with some effort, but some are prohibited from sale… really difficult to acquire.
The ingredients needed for the Boiling Blood Scatter weren’t just rare; they were also highly poisonous. Ginseng Manor conducted legitimate business and couldn’t afford to break the rules for this.
"I understand, for the ingredients you can procure, I’ll trouble Manor Lord
Liu.” Su Changkong didn’t make things difficult for Liu Feng. For the ingredients that couldn’t be bought on the market, Su Changkong decided to purchase them in the Ghost Market."Alright, I should be able to secure these ingredients in a few days at most,” Liu Feng said with a slight sigh of relief, nodding his assurance.
After finalizing the deal, Su Changkong set off to leave:
“The Ghost Market opens in the middle of next month, and I’ll make a trip there then.” As he walked down the street, lost in thought, Su Changkong suddenly stopped in his tracks and saw a man and a woman strolling leisurely in the distance, occasionally talking and laughing. The woman’s face sometimes revealed a sweet expression.
"Yan Song?”
The man was none other than Yan Song.
It was clear that Yan Song was enjoying time with the Jie Er he had mentioned before; Su Changkong had also seen her previously. Seeing this, Su Changkong decided not to disturb them and planned to leave directly.
"Brother Wen!”
However, Yan Song also spotted Su Changkong, greeted him, and(after) giving a quick instruction to the woman beside him-who nodded and waited in place —Yan Song approached.
"Brother Yan, long time no see,” Su Changkong greeted. It had been several months since Yan Song, who had been residing in Ginseng Town, last saw him.
Yan Song glanced around to make sure no one was paying attention to them before lowering his voice and saying,
“Brother Wen, have you heard about what happened between the Black Cavalry Gang and the White Jade Gang?”
“The White Jade Gang and the Black Cavalry Gang?” Su Changkong was surprised and shook his head.
In reality, Su Changkong rarely went out, so he didn’t have many ways to learn about the happenings in Clearwater City’s martial world.
Hearing this, Yan Song said,
“Several days ago, Gang Leader Shi Zijian led nearly a thousand knights in a surprise attack on the White Jade Gang’s base. After a fierce battle, the White Jade Gang was wiped out overnight. Gang Leader Bai Tianhao died in battle, and his son Bai Shao has reportedly escaped and gone into hiding.”
"The White Jade Gang was wiped out by the Black Cavalry Gang?
Learning this news made Su Changkong somewhat shocked as well.
The conflict between the Black Cavalry Gang and the White Jade Gang was well- known, but the fact that the White Jade Gang had almost ceased to exist was still unexpected for Su Changkong!
"Now in the martial world of Clearwater City, the Black Cavalry Gang stands unmatched, and their actions are overbearing. Brother Wen… it’s best to be cautious.”
Yan Song whispered a warning.
Others might not be aware, but Yan Song, who had the most contact with Su Changkong, had his suspicions about Su Changkong’s identity.
Ever since their first meeting, Yan Song felt that Su Changkong might be the mysterious martial artist who killed the Young Gang Leader of the Black Cavalry Gang, Shi Hanshan.
Months ago, when County Magistrate Wang Yun asked Yan Song to recommend a martial arts expert, Yan Song introduced Su Changkong.
Since that day, there was talk of a mysterious martial artist named Ghost Face, known for killing Black Lotus Sect disciples in Clearwater City. Yan Song was no fool. Though he did not fully understand the agreement between Wang Yun and Su Changkong, a little deduction led him to believe that Ghost Face was most likely Wen Tai!
There weren’t many in Clearwater City who could easily eliminate disciples of the Black Lotus Sect.
Recently, there was news that the Black Cavalry Gang had put out a bounty for the arrest of Ghost Face. Now, having bumped into Su Changkong in Ginseng Town, Yan Song couldn’t help but give Su Changkong a warning, informing him about the Black Cavalry Gang.
Upon hearing this, Su Changkong felt a chill in his heart; he was well aware that after killing Shi Hanshan and the Second Master of the Black Cavalry Gang, Cao Hong the Black Cavalry Gang would want to tear him to pieces. If his identity were exposed, he estimated that the Black Cavalry Gang would come out in full force to hunt him down!
"Hmm, thank you for letting me know, BrotherYan,” Su Changkong nodded slightly in thanks.
The two didn’t chat for long, and after abrief conversation, they went their separate ways.
Watching Su Changkong’s retreating figure, Yan Song couldn’t help but sigh to himself:
“To be young… is indeed wonderful!”
Everyone dreams of being someone whose every move causes a stir, and this Wen Tai young as he is, was not only the revered and admired Ghost Face who had killed nearly ten disciples of the Black Lotus Sect but also the sworn enemy whom the Gang Leader of the Black Cavalry Gang had vowed to behead! Without a doubt, he was a prominent figure in the martial world of Clearwater City!
Yan Song too had once aspired to be such a person, but now that he was older and had earned enough to live comfortably for the rest of his life, he only wished to enjoy his later years. He looked forward to seeing what heights Su Changkong could reach and who between him and Shi Zijian would have the last laugh!
