For three days, word that Su Xin would fight Meng Changhe's disciple to the death had spread throughout Changning Prefecture.
In the past, all the major gangs would have assumed Su Xin was as good as dead. But things were different now.
Su Xin had defeated Dong Chengwu in front of a crowd. Dong was a veteran Post-Heaven Mid-Stage martial artist who had advanced several years ago. Though he wasn't especially powerful, the fight had at least proved Su Xin was qualified to face Li Zhonghe.
Some of the gangs in Changning Prefecture had even opened betting pools on the outcome of Su Xin and Li Zhonghe's fight.
The odds on Li Zhonghe were one to one, while Su Xin's were one to three. Most people were betting on Li Zhonghe.
Meng Changhe was responsible for teaching martial arts to the members of the Three Heroes Association. Whenever he discovered a talented member, he immediately took him on as a disciple. As a result, he had more than ten personal disciples in the association.
Among them, Li Zhonghe was the strongest. Rumor had it he had opened more than ninety acupoints and had mastered everything Meng Changhe had taught him.
When the three-day deadline arrived, Su Xin emerged early and led his people to Changde Ward.
For this fight to the death, the Three Heroes Association had booked an entire street and built a ring nearly a hundred zhang across. The surrounding space was reserved for the other gangs.
By the time Su Xin and his people arrived, the representatives of the Three Gangs and Four Associations of Changning Prefecture had all gathered.
The other gangs' people looked at Su Xin and Sha Feiying with amused expressions.
Su Xin was, by now, considered a member of the Flying Eagle Gang.
