The Three Tigers of Guangdong, Xu Zhen!

Chapter 34: Xu Zhen, one of the Three Tigers of Guangdong!

"Teach me?"

Gu Shaoshang's eyes narrowed slightly. His keen senses detected the faint scent of blood on the switchblades, clearly indicating that these thugs weren't just here to scare him; they were genuinely ready to use their knives!

"Break his hands and throw him on the road!"

Four or five thugs, grinning menacingly, lunged at Gu Shaoshang, their knives aimed directly at him.

"Boom!"

Gu Shaoshang's narrowed eyes snapped open, a cold glint flashing within them.

He stomped his foot down hard! The ground seemed to ripple like a wave, and the solid concrete cracked!

Then, he lunged forward, unleashing a Tiger Claw strike!

The attack was fierce, the wind swirling around it, like a fierce tiger bursting from its cage.

With a single claw strike, even hard wood and stone would be gouged with five holes, let alone a human body! The Tiger Claw grazed the wrists of several thugs.

"Ah!"

A few screams echoed as the switchblades fell from the thugs' hands. Their wrists were bleeding profusely, and they clutched them, wailing in pain!

Gu Shaoshang's Eagle Claws had directly severed the tendons in several of their right wrists!

Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!

Gu Shaoshang strode forward, his movements ruthless. His arm whipped down like a steel whip, making sharp cracking sounds.

Before several thugs could even see what was happening, they felt a sharp pain in their wrists, and then Gu Shaoshang sent them sprawling to the ground.

"Boss! Boss! We admit defeat, please let us go!"

The leader, a punk with dyed yellow hair, pleaded repeatedly as Gu Shaoshang raised his arm again.

"I have a few questions for you," Gu Shaoshang said, his gaze sweeping over them coldly.

The thugs lying on the ground scrambled backward, terrified of another blow.

Gu Shaoshang's single whip strike, though not delivered with full force, was still excruciating. The thugs felt as if needles were pricking them all over, every inch of their bodies aching!

"Our boss is Qin Maojiao! He's a disciple of Xu Zhen, one of the Three Tigers of Guangdong!" The thug, harboring a sliver of hope, tried to use Xu Zhen's name to intimidate Gu Shaoshang.

"Xu Zhen! A top martial arts master in the southeastern coastal region, undefeated in the ring, ruthless, and never leaves survivors. He's known as one of the Three Tigers of Guangdong, nicknamed 'Saint of the Forearm'."

"He's skilled in Tongbei, Piguazhang, Chuo Jiao, Hong Quan, and more. He operates in the underground worlds of Southeast Asia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Myanmar. He started out in underground fighting, with a legendary record and a fearsome reputation. Later, he went legit, establishing his own group, involved in both legitimate and illicit businesses. It's rumored he even colluded with the Japanese, secretly trafficking drugs..."

His mind raced, recalling all sorts of information about Xu Zhen.

A tycoon worth billions, who had long since shifted his focus. Why would his disciple be interested in robbing a few working stiffs for pocket change?

"Still not telling the truth!"

Gu Shaoshang sneered, stomped his foot down, and twisted! The yellow-haired thug's palm was instantly crushed into pulp!

"Ah!"

The pain in one's fingers was unbearable even from a small cut, let alone being crushed like this? The yellow-haired thug rolled on the ground in agony, tears and snot streaming down his face, letting out a bloodcurdling scream!

"We're not lying! Everything we said is true!"

Terrified by the yellow-haired thug's agonizing state, the other thugs, as soon as Gu Shaoshang's gaze swept over them, blurted out everything they knew.

Someone must have called the police, as the distant wail of a police siren could be heard. Gu Shaoshang, not wanting to deal with the authorities, leaped and disappeared into the crowd.

As for the thugs, Gu Shaoshang had injured their bones and meridians. From now on, forget about robbing or stealing; even walking quickly would be a risk of bone fracture!

They wouldn't be able to engage in any more villainous acts for the rest of their lives.

"It'll be another five days before the kidnappers notify Zhao Aiguo of the transaction location. I should find some experts to spar with in the meantime! Fighting these small-time thugs doesn't yield any Source Power."

This was a small inn. Gu Shaoshang sat cross-legged on the bed.

To Gu Shaoshang's surprise, this group of thugs was indeed Qin Maojiao's subordinates!

But their target wasn't the paltry sum from the robbery!

These thugs specialized in finding migrant workers who came to the city! They would rob them of all their money, then force them into high-interest loans!

Finally, they would force them to sell their internal organs!

Thinking of this, Gu Shaoshang's killing intent surged!

Scum like this deserved to die!

The coastal regions had a fierce and combative populace, fond of gambling. Many bosses, seeking thrills and excitement, would seek out fighters for underground gambling matches!

In such an environment, a large number of experts emerged, the most famous among them being Chen Aiyang, the top expert in Southeast Asia!

There was a legend in the Southeast martial arts world that Chen Aiyang's Tai Chi's Hidden Force had reached a level where he could control its emission and absorption at will, reaching the point where "fists could grow from any part of his body."

This meant Chen Aiyang had cultivated Hidden Force thoroughly throughout his entire body. Such a realm was only one step away from the "invincible" state where "not even a feather could land, nor an insect alight."

Next were the Three Tigers of Guangdong: Zhang Wei, Xu Zhen, and Dai Jun.

All of them were grandmasters of Hidden Force! Masters of martial arts! They had countless lives on their hands, true masters of practical combat.

They were far stronger than those Hidden Force masters who trained silently in the mountains!

"Xu Zhen!"

Gu Shaoshang closed his eyes, silently gathering his spirit.

The south was prone to rain, and a downpour lashed the streets, leaving them sparsely populated.

Gu Shaoshang, wearing a black baseball cap, walked through the heavy rain.

His steps were light, his clothes soaked through. But if one could see through his clothes, they would notice his pores were sealed shut, his muscles trembling incessantly. The heavy rain couldn't take away a single shred of heat from his body.

Gu Shaoshang had been in this city for three days. For three days, he had been constantly skirting the edges of the underworld, investigating the kidnappers of Zhao Liang while searching for targets to strike.

"Letian Group!"

In the distance, a massive skyscraper came into view.

Xu Zhen was the major director of Letian Group and always came for a meeting on the first of every month.

Although he was in dire need of Source Power, Gu Shaoshang was not a bloodthirsty person. Naturally, he had investigated thoroughly beforehand.

Xu Zhen was not only ruthless, his rise to power in his early years was stained with blood. Even now, after whitewashing his image.

He secretly colluded with the Japanese to traffic drugs, and even engaged in the trade of human organs!

In the past few days, besides gathering information, Gu Shaoshang had, based on the confessions of those thugs, located Xu Zhen's base for harvesting human organs!

But even if he killed that scum, it wouldn't be enough to quell Gu Shaoshang's hatred!

"They're here!"

Gu Shaoshang stood like a statue, waiting in the pouring rain for two hours. Suddenly, his eyebrows twitched, and his eyes narrowed.

At the entrance, a middle-aged man in a black Zhongshan suit and gold-rimmed glasses emerged, surrounded by a group of people.

"Xu Zhen!" Gu Shaoshang's heart jolted. He lowered his baseball cap and strode forward.

The middle-aged man walked with heavy, bent knees, his back slightly hunched, his arms hanging naturally. The veins on his neck pulsed with each step, like a walking ape! He was a master who had practiced Tongbei Fist to the bone!

With just one glance, Gu Shaoshang was certain he was Xu Zhen!

"Alright! Everyone go back to work! You don't need to see me off!" Xu Zhen waved his hand, dismissing his subordinates.

He walked towards a black Bentley, holding an umbrella, with two young men following behind him.

"Master! Zhang Wei retired years ago and went into business. I heard he recently went bankrupt due to poor investments! Should we lend him a hand?"

One of the young men speaking was about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a loose tracksuit, with an unhidden arrogance on his face.

Xu Zhen didn't stop walking. "Jiao'er, Zhang Wei and I were known as the Three Tigers of Guangdong. He's not going to work for me. Let him be!"

"Doing business isn't like fighting in a ring! Zhang Wei is such a stubborn old fool. Even when Master invited him to deal in arms, he refused! He deserves to go bankrupt!" the other young man, dressed in a suit, sneered dismissively.

"Are these words you can just blurt out! If anyone hears you, I'll skin you alive!"

Xu Zhen first reprimanded his undisciplined disciple, then spoke.

"One of our strongholds was raided! The immediate priority is to find these people! And then... hmm?"

Suddenly, his whole body trembled, and his hair stood on end as if electrocuted!
