Sudden Change

What?

The burly man leading the Iron Saber Society looked at the cleaver in his hand, which only had the hilt left, and was stunned.

A cleaver.

Even if it wasn't made of hundred-refined steel, it shouldn't be this fragile, right?

It looked like it was smashed by a fist?

Before the burly man could look for the attacker, a mysterious fist struck his rough face like lightning.

Pfft!

The burly man's facial features instantly contorted from the punch, his facial bones shattered, and he fell straight down.

He didn't even have time to scream.

"Whoa, as expected of the Nine Heavens Crimson Thunder Art!"

Li Ye himself was surprised.

He could feel that his physique was strong and his fists were hard, but he never expected to easily shatter a cleaver.

Since transmigrating, he had only killed two foreigners, and both were killed in one move.

He didn't have an accurate understanding of his own strength yet.

Now, he had witnessed just a tip of the iceberg of his power.

The Iron Saber Society had Body Temperers, and the one Li Ye had taken down was one. There were also Body Temperers among the onlookers who rushed forward.

Their numbers were even greater.

As a result, the Iron Saber Society was defeated one-sidedly next.

Li Ye pulled Zhou Bao's subordinates and weaved through the chaotic battlefield. He didn't deliberately attack.

But he circulated the power of the Nine Heavens Crimson Thunder Art throughout his body. The power permeated beneath every inch of his skin. An accidental collision with someone would cause them to break bones and tendons.

After all, his seven thousand jin of great strength was no joke.

Before long, the Iron Saber Society was overturned, lying on the ground and wailing.

But the people still didn't let them go, surrounding the dozens of them and beating them.

"Beat them."

"Hit them to death, that's right."

"Liu Dayong, your wife was just grabbed by the backside by several members of the Iron Saber Society. I bet these guys have been eyeing her for a while, and you're just letting them tickle her?"

"Old Sun, you might not have seen it, but your wife might have been groped."

Those not participating in the fight heckled from the side.

Under the atmosphere of the scene, the strength in the hands and under the feet of the big men in the ring unconsciously increased by a large margin.

Many big men, with red eyes, attacked the vulnerable parts of their opponents with deadly force, as if they were facing their father's killer.

There was the sound of teeth flying out and landing on the ground, the sound of bones shattering, the sound of heads being cracked open...

The scene was bloody for a time.

Not long after, officers arrived.

Everyone dispersed.

The Iron Saber Society members lay on the ground, twitching like dead dogs.

They hated the beggar who stirred up trouble to death in their hearts.

At this moment, Li Ye, pulling the subordinate of Zhou Bao, appeared in an alley.

This big man was named Chu Liang.

"Boss, you must decide for us."

Chu Liang, with red eyes, pleaded without considering whether Li Ye had the ability to decide for them.

Zhou Bao had an accident. Li Ye's expression turned very unpleasant, and he asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Li Ye was outwardly asking Chu Liang, but inwardly he chanted, "Daily Divination!"

Buzz!

He silently thought about Zhou Bao's matter, and the next moment his mental magnetic field changed, as if resonating with Heaven and Earth Myriad Things and Great Dao Heavenly Secrets.

Immediately, numerous images appeared in his mind.

The ins and outs of the entire matter became instantly clear in his heart.

Zhou Bao's batch of goods initially sold very smoothly in the major restaurants. Each one bought them at a high price. With these seasonings, the major restaurants developed new dishes.

For a time, in the past half month, the major restaurants in Licheng City were in full bloom, displaying their colors.

Originally, everything was developing in a good direction, until a few days ago when Zhou Bao was targeted by the shopkeeper of a certain restaurant.

The other party secretly tracked the shop assistants sent by Zhou Bao to deliver goods, and learned their base.

"It was Hongbin Tower's Head Shopkeeper Chen Hong. He had the Iron Saber Society rob our remaining goods and silver."

"The president of the Iron Saber Society is the brother-in-law of Hongbin Tower's shopkeeper. When they came, they beat anyone they saw and wanted to capture Zhou Boss."

"Zhou Boss was clever and pulled me to escape. We hid outside for a few days, but they still found us. Not long ago, Zhou Boss was captured..."

Chu Liang cried to Li Ye.

On that day, Li Ye stunned the shopkeeper of Hongbin Tower with a recipe for Eight Treasure Chicken and several seasonings that no one had ever used before.

Afterwards, the shopkeeper of Hongbin Tower launched the newly developed Braised Beef and Eight Treasure Chicken, occupying the top spot.

But when Zhou Bao sold these seasonings to other restaurants, Hongbin Tower's momentum was no longer as strong.

And after learning that it was Zhou Bao selling these seasonings, the shopkeeper of Hongbin Tower naturally felt uncomfortable and bore a grudge.

After figuring out Zhou Bao's background, the other party chose to make a move.

"Boss, what do we do now? We must save Zhou Boss."

Chu Liang begged.

He was originally a refugee, living a precarious life. It was Zhou Bao who gave him a livelihood, allowing him to eat.

To Chu Liang, Zhou Boss was his rebirth parent.

"You go back first."

Li Ye said lightly.

Of course, he had to save Zhou Bao.

First, Zhou Bao was his friend.

Second, Zhou Bao and he both came from the Corpse Refining Courtyard. Li Ye did not want this news to be known by the shopkeeper of Hongbin Tower.

An iron prison, cold light shimmered. An iron whip was being wielded, and piercing screams echoed under the iron whip.

A thin man had already been beaten bruised and battered.

He was Zhou Bao.

"What Body Tempering Master, what Jianghu Hero."

"How dare you lie to me."

"Speak, where is that little beast? Where is he? Are you going to talk or not?"

The tall, fat shopkeeper of Hongbin Tower questioned fiercely, wielding an iron whip.

Now, he was nowhere near the kind smile of Maitreya Buddha he had that day; his entire being was ferocious and terrifying.

Without a doubt, he had seen through Zhou Bao, realizing he was just an ordinary person who had not undergone tempering.

Therefore, Chen Hong took for granted that the shop assistant that day must have been mistaken. He assumed Li Ye was also an ordinary person.

These were two down-and-out refugees, beggars, who had scammed food and drink.

Thinking of the respectful attitude he had shown them that day, Chen Hong became furious.

He had always respected, befriended, and sought to win over Jianghu heroes. Did these people whose lives were like grass deserve him to treat them with courtesy?

It was outrageous.

Zhou Bao spat out blood foam, "You dog of an unscrupulous merchant who eats people without spitting out the bones, you can give up on that."

Chen Hong tightened his grip on the iron whip, his terrifying eyes flowing with killing intent, "Good, good, good. You think I don't dare to kill you?"

"In this chaotic world with refugees everywhere, do you think anyone will investigate if one person goes missing?"

"Your life is not much nobler than the ants on the ground. Since you lowly person refuse to speak, I will just beat you into meat paste."

As he spoke, Chen Hong's body crackled and popped, as if rolling divine power was pouring out.

He had undergone tempering.

And his cultivation was not low.

This aura frightened Zhou Bao, causing him to shrink his head, but he still showed no intention of yielding.

"Wait, brother-in-law, look!"

"This is a profound body tempering manual."

Suddenly, another man in the iron prison spoke.

He was around forty years old, tall and thin, sturdy, with a scar on his face, looking particularly ferocious.

This person was Shen Heng, the president of the Iron Saber Society.
