Fierce Sun Art, Demon Subduing Fist, Sky Rending Leg

A voice entered the hall before the person arrived. A burly man stood outside the door, over eight feet tall, with dark skin and a stern face.

He walked with a powerful stride, followed by a group of Black Tiger Gang members. The man was none other than Tang Heihu, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang.

"Your Transmission Hall Master tricked me, and I came here to take Su's life. Surely, I'm allowed to resist?"

A dozen or so people walked into the main hall one after another. As Su Ye finished speaking, Tang Heihu suddenly roared, "I only know you killed someone first. Even if you're from the yamen, don't try to twist things."

"Twist things? Huang Qianqing borrowed the might of your Black Tiger Gang to run rampant in Kaoshan Town and forcibly abduct women. Do you know about that?" Su Ye glanced at the leader and said calmly.

Tang Heihu's face darkened. He waved his hand and shouted, "Stop quibbling. Once you're in the Black Tiger Gang, you have to follow my rules."

"Looking at you, you're just a constable from the county yamen. Surrender obediently, and perhaps you can keep your dignity."

"Dignity? Because of you?"

As the words fell, Tang Heihu sneered, "Good, good. You audacious brat."

Saying that, he extended his right hand. A young man standing behind him immediately understood.

He took a heavy black iron hammer from two lackeys behind him and quickly turned back. Tang Heihu lifted the heavy hammer with one hand as if it weighed nothing and smashed it down fiercely.

"Whoosh!"

A faint golden light flickered on the surface of the giant hammer, carrying immense force. Before the hammer even neared his body, Su Ye felt a great pressure bearing down on him.

This must be the true qi possessed by the Meridian Mirror.

Feeling the golden light covering the giant hammer, Su Ye grinned. Internal Cultivation can actually be applied to weapons, unlike Qi and Blood Power, which only circulates within the body.

Speaking of Qi and Blood Power, it's more like a product of a significant improvement in blood quality. His gaze fell upon the rapidly descending giant hammer.

With his powerful physique, Su Ye retreated half a step in the blink of an eye. The hammer's surface grazed his chest.

"Boom!"

A loud sound erupted, and the ground cracked like a spiderweb. The tables and chairs in the room vibrated.

Visible rings of air waves, carrying gravel, shot out in all directions. Countless small holes appeared in the wooden walls. Su Ye quickly stepped onto the hammer's surface.

Seeing this, Tang Heihu's face turned ashen. "Brat, you're truly arrogant."

Veins bulging on his arms, Tang Heihu, like a black bear, suddenly exerted force with his broad arms. However, an extremely awkward scene unfolded before everyone's eyes.

No matter how he lifted or dragged, the giant hammer didn't move an inch. Tang Heihu's face turned red, and he roared, looking around, "This move is incredibly powerful. Everyone get out!"

His roar echoed in the hall, leaving the lackeys momentarily bewildered. After meeting Tang Heihu's fierce gaze, they finally reacted and retreated dozens of meters outside the door.

After everyone retreated, Tang Heihu quickly closed the door and then swiftly knelt down with a "thump," chuckling awkwardly. "I was blind and didn't recognize your eminence. Please, Lord, be merciful and let me off."

Su Ye was speechless at Tang Heihu's reaction. He then thought that as a gang leader, seeing that he was no match, being able to bend and stretch was the mark of a smart person.

Otherwise, the Black Tiger Gang wouldn't have developed to its current state.

"Your ability to change your tune faster than flipping a book is quite something," Su Ye said calmly.

Tang Heihu quickly replied, "I was forced to act. As the gang leader, I couldn't just stand by. My brothers were watching. You understand, Lord, right?"

"This whole thing is my fault for not recognizing your eminence."

Saying that, Tang Heihu couldn't stop himself and kowtowed repeatedly. "Lord, I have plenty of silver and cultivation techniques and martial arts. I also have thousands of brothers under me. You can command me as you please from now on."

The young man before me is terrifyingly strong. I'm already at the second level of Meridian Opening, yet this person, with just the strength of one leg, forced me to use all my might and couldn't move the giant hammer an inch.

This is definitely a big shot. In Linshan County, there are only a few people who can defeat me, but none can do this.

Hearing this, Su Ye suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said calmly, "What cultivation techniques do you have? Let me see."

"Lord, please wait a moment."

Tang Heihu quickly got up, opened the door, and whispered a few words to the young man who had been there earlier.

He then hurried back into the hall, served Su Ye a seat, picked up the teapot on the table, and asked solicitously, "May I ask for your name, Lord?"

Tang Heihu appeared extremely anxious. Su Ye didn't continue to make things difficult for him. After stating his name, he asked, "Have you noticed anything different in Linshan County these days?"

"Different? If I had to say, there have been quite a few disappearances in the city recently. The yamen's handling of this matter is also strange. They appear to be actively dealing with it on the surface, but secretly, the constables aren't investigating."

"Since when did this start, and how many people have disappeared?" Su Ye continued to press.

From what I learned from Big Black, I initially thought Magistrate Chen and his group only planned to act outside the city. Judging by what I'm hearing now, the county town has likely been experiencing abnormalities for a while.

Tang Heihu was very confused. Lord Su here is a constable from the yamen. He should know better than me. Despite his confusion, he honestly replied:

"Not long after the Demon Suppression Division left. As for how many people have disappeared, it must be dozens, even hundreds."

"Hundreds."

This matter should be the work of the Corpse Demon Cult. It's no wonder Su Ye is thinking this way. They've been active in the city all along. It would be strange if they were behaving themselves. He pondered.

The young man who went to get the martial arts returned to the hall quietly, waiting for instructions.

The young man was Tang Heihu's adopted son. He was clever and, seeing his adoptive father's drastic change in attitude, became even more respectful.

"Why are you standing there like an idiot? Hurry up and bring it here," Tang Heihu yelled.

Receiving the order, the young man held four booklets with both hands and bowed before Su Ye.

Su Ye glanced at the person who had arrived but said nothing. He directly opened the four booklets one by one.

Recorded [Meteor Hammer Technique · Mortal Grade High Rank]

Recorded [Demon Subduing Fist · Mortal Grade High Rank]

Recorded [Fierce Sun Art · Yellow Grade Low Rank]

Recorded [Sky Rending Leg · Mortal Grade High Rank]

After the system recorded all the cultivation techniques, Tang Heihu called the gang members outside into the house. He turned to Su Ye and said obsequiously:

"That Huang Ren and his nephew are both scoundrels. It's their good fortune from a past life to die by the hands of a hero like you, my Lord.

Remember this, if Lord Su has any requests in the future, we will cooperate fully. Anyone who dares to be negligent will be dealt with according to the gang rules."

The crowd was stunned, not knowing what the gang leader was up to. Some clever individuals saw through his intentions and quickly tried to curry favor by saying:

"The dirty deeds done by Huang Ren and his nephew were not only disgusting but also damaged the reputation of our Black Tiger Gang.

Now that Lord Su has dealt with these two beasts, it's as if the heavens have sent down a righteous official. You are no different from the sages of old.

We will obey Lord Su's commands from now on without any complaints."

Su Ye's expression was calm. He ignored their flattery, waved for them to leave, and turned to Tang Heihu, asking about the martial forces in Yunzhou.

"My Lord, if you want to know about the martial forces in our Wan'an Prefecture, or even the entire Yunzhou, you've asked the right person.

You might not think much of my strength, but I've been in the martial world for so many years, and I'm quite well-informed.

Tang Heihu busied himself refilling the tea and continued: "Take the Vajra Gate on Mount Yuxiu, for example. They are famous for their body refining. The temple has many experts, including several body-refining martial artists who can rival those in the Core Formation realm."

Cannot find the book by its title, perhaps try searching by author, maybe the name has been changed!
