Destroying the Gang

Lu Changfeng and Zhou Feng did not rush to deal with Golden Lion first.

Instead, they took advantage of everyone struggling against the poison entering their bodies to reap the lives of the ordinary gang members.

There were quite a few Golden Lion Gang members. This was a head-on clash; once they recovered, they would be difficult to handle.

With every swing of sword and saber, heads flew through the air.

Within a few breaths, more than half the gang members at the banquet had been killed.

Especially Lu Changfeng. His perfected swordsmanship, coupled with the Antelope Dodge Method, turned killing into an art!

As Lu Changfeng danced gracefully, sword light flickered and sword shadows layered upon one another, while severed heads and splashing blood filled every gap.

The scene was bloody yet strangely beautiful.

On the other side, Zhou Feng's saber technique was inferior to Lu Changfeng's swordsmanship, but his cultivation level was higher!

Empowered by the terrifying explosive force of Blood Tempering Fifth Level, no one could withstand a single slash from him!

After killing several people in succession, Zhou Feng charged straight toward the table where Golden Lion and the gang's key figures sat, slashing at the Red Pole who had not eaten any fish.

This Red Pole had some courage, at least. He was the only one at the table who had not been poisoned, yet he did not take the chance to flee.

Instead, he protected the others and raised his saber to meet the attack.

The result was that Zhou Feng cleaved both man and saber into two halves with a single strike.

Sometimes, failing to see the situation clearly was not a good thing.

One was Blood Tempering Fifth Level, the other Blood Tempering Second Level. The gap in strength was simply too vast.

"Who are you people? I, Golden Lion, do not seem to have ever offended you!" Golden Lion cried out in terror, clutching his chest.

Zhou Feng's long saber was his answer!

The saber flashed, and Zhou Feng struck!

Golden Lion was indeed a Martial Artist past forty. Though he was only at Blood Tempering Fourth Level, his battle experience was extensive!

He raised a hand and flipped the table over to block the saber light.

Even while poisoned, he had actually managed to evade Zhou Feng's strike.

But that was all.

Zhou Feng shattered the airborne table with one slash, leaving nothing before him to obstruct his path.

His second strike slashed toward Golden Lion. Golden Lion turned to dodge, but the poison suddenly flared up!

The blood around his heart congealed slightly, causing his movements to lag by a beat.

Zhou Feng showed no mercy with this strike, directly cutting Golden Lion in two at the waist!

With the Bandit Leader slain, both Lu Changfeng and Zhou Feng let out a breath of relief. It was best that no accidents had occurred.

At the same time, Lu Changfeng felt a slight pang of regret. He had just detected that Golden Lion possessed a Mid-grade Talent: Fist Technique.

If he copied it, it could speed up the progress of his Mount Le's Wrathful Vajra.

The two then began a one-sided massacre. The heavily poisoned gang members could not run quickly, and anyone who tried to flee was caught by Lu Changfeng, who erupted with Blood Burst Steps and drove a sword straight into the center of their backs.

Before long, Lu Changfeng and Zhou Feng had successfully wiped out the Golden Lion Gang!

The entire Golden Lion Gang headquarters was covered in blood, and even in the bitter winter, the air was thick with its pungent stench.

All the miscellaneous people in the headquarters had already fled clean away.

Lu Changfeng deliberately spared the Advisor's life.

This Advisor was Golden Lion's Jackal Military Advisor. He possessed no real fighting ability and had not even cultivated to Blood Tempering First Level.

Perhaps because Golden Lion believed that, with his low martial strength, he could only survive by relying on Golden Lion, Golden Lion trusted this Jackal Military Advisor deeply.

This advisor knew most of Golden Lion's secrets.

Under the threat of Lu Changfeng's sword and Zhou Feng's saber, the Jackal Military Advisor led the two into Golden Lion's bedroom within the headquarters.

"It's behind that wall. Please spare me, you two heroes," the Jackal Military Advisor pleaded.

Zhou Feng stepped forward and examined it closely, only then discovering what was unusual about the wall.

He struck with his palm, shattering the wall and revealing a Small Treasury about a meter high inside.

The two inspected it.

This Human Trafficker truly had quite a bit saved up.

There were more than six thousand taels of silver in the treasury, along with jade artifacts, jewelry, and the like. Among them, a Treasure Grade Longsword that gave off a faint cold gleam caught Lu Changfeng's eye. Without ceremony, he hung it at his waist.

"Hero, I know this sword's origins!" the Jackal Military Advisor said ingratiatingly.

"Tell me," Lu Changfeng said.

The Jackal Military Advisor introduced the origins of the longsword. It was called Autumn Water, and it was indeed a treasure-grade weapon, a family heirloom of a Sword Cultivating Family in Qingshan Prefecture.

Later, that Sword Cultivating Family declined. Their descendants possessed a treasure weapon and attracted Golden Lion's attention. He plotted to murder them and seize their treasure, after which it fell into his collection vault.

Thus, the Autumn Water Sword could be used without concern; there was no need to worry about its origins.

Treasure weapons differed from Mortal Tools. They were forged with Exotic Stones, making them exceptionally sharp. Anything that could be called a treasure weapon was an excellent armament.

The Bintie Longsword Lu Changfeng had previously taken from the martial arts school had already chipped in several places after repeated use.

The appearance of this Treasure Grade Longsword came at just the right time for Lu Changfeng to replace his weapon.

With a treasure weapon in hand, he could better unleash the power of his swordsmanship.

The commotion just now had been rather great.

The Golden Lion Gang headquarters was not a place to linger.

Lu Changfeng and Zhou Feng each took a bundle and split the valuables from the treasury evenly between them.

Before leaving, Lu Changfeng cut down the Jackal Military Advisor with a single sword strike.

After stripping off their blood-soaked Servant Clothes, the two climbed over the wall and left the Golden Lion Gang headquarters.

Not long afterward, some bold Martial Artists from the Outer City entered the Golden Lion Gang headquarters to investigate and were terrified by the corpses strewn everywhere.

Zhou Feng and Lu Changfeng emerged from the Golden Lion Gang headquarters.

They found Hua'er at a street corner.

"Did it work out, Benefactors?"

Lu Changfeng nodded. "From this day onward, the Golden Lion Gang no longer exists."

"Thank you, Benefactor, for saving this little woman once again. I am willing to serve you like an ox or a horse."

Hua'er was clearly saying this to Lu Changfeng.

Lu Changfeng rubbed his nose and looked at Zhou Feng. Zhou Feng calmly looked around, wearing an expression that said, You decide for yourself.

Lu Changfeng thought it over. This girl had indeed been a great help this time, and she had handled matters quite cleverly.

She was also alone and without support. If he left her wandering outside, she would likely meet with disaster again. So he said, "Our martial arts school still needs a Laundry Girl. If you do not mind the low pay, come back with us."

"I cannot thank you enough, Benefactor." Hua'er shed tears of excitement.

"Then good. This is not a place to stay long. Let's return to the martial arts school!"

Faint voices could be heard from the direction of the Golden Lion Martial Arts School. Afraid of causing trouble, Lu Changfeng did not dare linger. The three headed straight back to the martial arts school.

When Lu Changfeng arrived at Changle Martial Arts School, he opened the back door as usual.

Only to be startled by a Mountain-like Figure standing behind it.

"Master? Why are you still up so late—"

Zhang Desheng looked at the three of them. "Went out killing?"

Lu Changfeng and Zhou Feng exchanged a glance, then nodded in admission.

There was still a piece of Meat Crumbles in Zhou Feng's hair. Even if they claimed they had gone to listen to music, someone would have to believe them first.

"No wonder you, Zhou Feng, broke through recently. So you've been fooling around with Changfeng, this brat."

Zhang Desheng saw at a glance that it had been Lu Changfeng, this Junior Brother, who had egged Zhou Feng on.

"Who did you kill this time?"

Lu Changfeng coughed dryly before answering, "The Golden Lion Gang in the Outer City, the gang that dealt in human trafficking. They got what they deserved."

Zhang Desheng nodded thoughtfully. Clearly, he also knew something of the Golden Lion Gang's evil reputation.

"If you need to handle something again in the future, tell me beforehand. If anything happens, I can respond in time."

Zhang Desheng did not blame the two martial brothers.

"Who is this Young Girl?"

"Oh, this Young Girl was kidnapped by Golden Lion Gang members to be a Servant. I took pity on her and brought her back to do laundry work," Lu Changfeng answered.

Zhang Desheng nodded. "Wash up and get some sleep early." Turning away, Zhang Desheng's Internal Energy erupted beneath his feet, and his figure vanished from the two martial brothers' sight at incredible speed.

The two sighed in relief. It could not have been better that their Master had not blamed them.
