Martial Arts are Killing Techniques, Killing and Destroying Corpses!

Chen Xing was right.

This was an open scheme, and there was no way to break it.

Chen Xing had probably had his eye on him for a long time, and that was why he had chosen to lay his cards on the table now.

Perhaps he did not have ironclad evidence that Jiang Wangzu had slept with his sister-in-law or cooked the books, but he had pieced some of it together from spider silk and horse tracks.

In any case, true or false, as long as he said it in front of everyone, even without proof, Chen Tai and Jiang Wangzu were bound to turn against each other in heart and mind.

That was why Chen Xing felt he had Jiang Wangzu in the palm of his hand.

He wanted to extort a huge sum from Jiang Wangzu.

But Jiang Wangzu truly did not have many silver dollars left.

Even if he did, he absolutely would not compromise with Chen Xing.

Chen Xing was a wolf that could never be fed full. This opening absolutely could not be made!

"If I can't solve the problem, then I'll solve the person who raised the problem."

"That is the optimal solution!"

In his heart, Jiang Wangzu had already silently sentenced Chen Xing to death.

"You little punk!"

"Do you really think my title as the Double Flower Red Pole of Rongsheng Street is fake?"

"Since you won't hand over the money, I'll take it myself!"

"And while I'm at it, I'll let you know the price of defying me!"

Chen Xing stepped forward and drove out a punch, a straight fist shooting right for Jiang Wangzu's face.

Martial arts were killing techniques!

If one did not strike, that was one thing; once one struck, blood had to be drawn!

Chen Xing embodied those words to the fullest.

Chen Xing was a martial artist with minor success in strength training. Though his stance work was a complete mess, and even his moves were only half-baked, he had spent years rolling and crawling around the bottom ranks of the Canal Gang, rising from a lowly street thug to the Double Flower Red Pole of Rongsheng Street, and had long since forged a practical set of street-fighting techniques that worked.

He thought that with this punch, Jiang Wangzu's nose bridge would surely cave in and stars would burst before his eyes, but Jiang Wangzu's performance was destined to disappoint him.

Jiang Wangzu merely shifted slightly to the side and tilted his head, directly dodging Chen Xing's punch. Then he blasted out a violent fist, smashing it hard into the ribs on Chen Xing's left side. The fist, heavy as a thousand catties, broke several of Chen Xing's ribs in a single blow.

"Ah!"

Chen Xing let out a furious roar of pain, then forcibly endured the agony and threw a backhand punch, smashing it toward Jiang Wangzu.

Seeing this, Jiang Wangzu changed his fist into a claw. With a Black Tiger Claw, he seized Chen Xing's fist, shifted slightly to the side, and, borrowing the force of inertia, twisted Chen Xing's right arm into a pretzel.

Crack, crack, crack!

The sound of bones popping and snapping came from Chen Xing's body. Pale-white bone stubble pierced through his flesh and jutted out, and blood instantly gushed forth, dyeing more than half his body red.

Chen Xing stared at Jiang Wangzu in disbelief, his voice trembling from the intense pain as he said, "Black Tiger Fist!"

"How do you know Big Brother's Black Tiger Fist?"

"I'm his own younger cousin, and he never taught Black Tiger Fist to me. How could he have taught it to you?"

"Could it be that you really did with... crack!"

Before Chen Xing could finish speaking, Jiang Wangzu twisted his neck and broke it!

Some words could only be left to rot in one's belly. Once spoken aloud, they could bring death down upon oneself!

"Why did you have to seek death?"

Jiang Wangzu searched Chen Xing's body and found more than fifty silver dollars, which counted as an unexpected windfall.

As for how to destroy the corpse and erase the traces?

Jiang Wangzu's eyes shifted, and he had already thought of a way.

Taking advantage of the night, he found a tattered burlap sack, packed Chen Xing's corpse inside, and then threw him near Dragon River Pier.

"Big guy, I've brought you a midnight snack. I hope you don't disappoint me!"

There was a humanoid exotic beast near Dragon River Pier, and Jiang Wangzu believed the other party would surely handle Chen Xing's corpse properly for him.

As for whether Chen Xing's death would be traced back to him, he was not worried at all.

Chen Xing had secretly discovered that he had been spending money extravagantly recently, so he had wanted to extort a sum from him.

Since he believed he had Jiang Wangzu in his grip, he naturally would not have told anyone else his plan.

Even if he had told someone that he wanted to extort the silver dollars from Jiang Wangzu's hands, no one would believe Jiang Wangzu could kill him.

Taking ten thousand steps back.

So what if Chen Tai found out that he had killed Chen Xing?

Chen Xing had been the one to break the rules first.

Even if Chen Tai targeted him, he was not afraid.

Though he still had some distance to go before reaching great accomplishment in strength training, the perfected Iron Crotch Technique and Golden Dual Kidneys had improved him tremendously.

Add to that his minor accomplishment in Black Tiger Fist.

Even if his overall strength now was not as good as Chen Tai's, he definitely would not let Chen Tai butcher him as he pleased!

Glug!

Glug!

Glug!

Jiang Wangzu had just turned to leave when he heard the sound of Dragon River's water.

That aura, one that could make blood congeal, came again.

He forcibly endured the intense discomfort in body and mind and quickly left the area around Dragon River.

He felt the thing in the water was growing more and more terrifying.

Perhaps before long, it would break through its shackles and climb to another level of strength.

Once it came ashore, the whole of Shen City might become its hunting ground!

But when the sky collapsed, there were tall people to hold it up. What Jiang Wangzu had to do now was raise his own strength as quickly as possible.

Early the next morning.

Dragon River Pier.

"A-Xing!"

"My good little brother!"

"Who was it?"

"Who killed you?"

"Tell me!"

"I'll definitely avenge you!"

Chen Tai was furious, like a tiger gone mad.

His underlings all kept far away from him, afraid the pond fish would be caught in the calamity.

This morning, a floating corpse had appeared at Dragon River Pier. Its organs, brains, and blood had all vanished.

The floating corpse was none other than Chen Xing, whom Jiang Wangzu had thrown into Dragon River last night.

And so, some Canal Gang ruffian familiar with Chen Xing "recognized" him.

Very soon, someone informed Chen Tai.

As for Jiang Wangzu, he slept until broad daylight, then ate a few meat pies and drank a bowl of mutton soup before leisurely making his way to Dragon River Pier.

"Brother Xing was such a good man. How could he suddenly be gone?"

"Boss, you have to restrain your grief!"

Jiang Wangzu sighed with false emotion.

"A-Zu, your mind works fast!"

"Tell me, just who killed A-Xing?"

When Chen Tai saw Jiang Wangzu arrive, he grabbed Jiang Wangzu by the collar and nearly lifted him up.

His face was savage as he stared at Jiang Wangzu.

Chen Xing was his younger cousin. Chen Xing was dead; it would be false to say he was not heartbroken.

He did not even know how he was going to explain this to his Third Uncle.

Besides, Chen Xing was a martial cultivator at minor accomplishment in strength training, an expert who had entered the trade and found the doorway.

He was Chen Tai's capable general, his true right and left hand.

Without Chen Xing, the strength under his command had been greatly reduced!

"Boss, has Brother Xing made enemies with anyone lately?"

"In our line of work, if we're talking about being killed, the greatest possibility is a revenge killing!"

"But I've been patrolling Dragon River Pier recently and haven't had much contact with Brother Xing and the others, so I'm not clear on what's been happening around Brother Xing lately either."

Jiang Wangzu pretended ignorance while knowing full well.

Hearing Jiang Wangzu say this, Chen Tai was first stunned, then killing intent burst violently from his eyes.

"Blue Society, those bastards on Xinglong Street—it had to be them!"

"This isn't over!"

Chen Tai spoke through gritted teeth.
