Immortality Martial Arts: I Started with the Five Animals Health Fist - Chapter 146
Chapter 146: Chapter 85: Tortoise Breath Water Arrow! Fierce Tiger Rips Corpse!_3
Gong Zheng thought he could offend neither side and leave unscathed, yet not long after leaving the Giant Whale Gang, he met a grisly end at the hands of Li Lie. Now Su Changkong had exacted a terrible revenge on this Li Lie, avenging him!
“Is it about time? This is not an easy burden to shoulder!”
At this moment, Zhang Yi and two other martial artists accompanying Su Changkong waited in place, an unmistakable helplessness on the Chen family brothers’ faces.
The Chen family’s brothers were martial artists from the Meng Sang faction, assigned to protect Su Changkong, only to monitor his whereabouts, then let Li Lie personally slaughter him.
The Chen family’s brothers also understood that they would definitely be punished by the gang afterward for failing to protect Su Changkong, hoping only that Meng Sang would compensate them later.
“Hasn’t Master Su returned yet?” As for Zhang Yi, he was completely unaware of the situation and somewhat anxious. It had been quite a while, and Su Changkong still hadn’t returned. Nothing could’ve happened, right?
Zhang Yi stood up, unable to restrain himself, preparing to go and check the situation when joy appeared on his face, “Master Su, have you returned?”
“What?” The Chen family’s brothers were instantly dumbfounded. Wasn’t Li Lie supposed to take care of Su Changkong? Could it be he never made a move? How could Su Changkong still be alive?
As the three of them gazed toward the youth in black emerging from the woods, their surprise grew as he approached, especially since Su Changkong was holding a blood-drenched head in his hand!
“Li… Vice Hall Master Li?”
Both Zhang Yi and the Chen family’s brothers widened their eyes in shock, recognizing that the head, eyes still filled with pain in death, belonged to Li Lie!
“Vice Hall Master Li… made a mistake? Was killed? How is this possible!”
Chen Wen and Chen Wu’s mouths went dry, questioning if what they were seeing was an illusion.
Not only had Su Changkong returned safely, but he was also holding Li Lie’s head!
“What happened? How did Vice Hall Master Li end up here? How did he die?” As for Zhang Yi, he was confused, knowing nothing of the events that had just unfolded.
The three men had different emotions, all trembling with fear, because the Su Changkong before them was completely unrecognizable!
The former Su Changkong was kind and polite to everyone, extremely low-key, practicing alchemy in the Pill Refining Room. To everyone, he was a prodigiously talented darling in the field of alchemy.
However, the present Su Changkong was expressionless, holding Li Lie’s head, resembling a demon who killed without blinking—an almost imperceptible murderous aura emanating from him made them feel as though they had plunged into an ice pit, their teeth chattering!
“Clatter!”
With a casual toss from Su Changkong, Li Lie’s head flew out, rolling on the ground and stopping near the feet of the Chen family’s brothers, making them instinctively retreat.
“Go back and tell Meng Sang, no need for a send-off! If I happen to have time later, I might return to the Giant Whale Gang to personally see him!”
Su Changkong’s indifferent voice echoed in the ears of the three men.
By killing Li Lie, he had avenged part of the wrongs, but Su Changkong had not forgotten Meng Sang, the very instigator who forced him to leave the Giant Whale Gang.
Meng Sang was the Giant Whale Gang’s Deputy Gang Leader with extraordinary strength and status. Su Changkong currently had no power to confront him—it was like he was just collecting some interest for now!
In a few years, when he was almost certain he could terminate Meng Sang’s life, Su Changkong would return to make him pay the price.
“Gone… gone?”
By the time the three regained their senses, where could they find Su Changkong’s silhouette? He had already disappeared into the dim forest like a ghost!
“He… he killed Vice Hall Master Li?” The Chen family’s brothers were dazed and incredulous. Li Lie was ordered to kill Su Changkong, which was supposed to be as easy as reaching into a bag, yet in just a short amount of time, it was Li Lie who lost his life to Su Changkong?
“What exactly… happened?” Only Zhang Yi, who was unaware, was both shocked and bewildered, but he could somewhat sense that something significant had occurred!
…
“What? Li Lie is dead?”
Inside a grand hall of the Giant Whale Gang, Meng Sang in a blue robe received news from his subordinates and was somewhat stunned!
But he couldn’t disbelieve it. In front of him lay a head in a cloth bag, brought back by the Chen family brothers, the head of Li Lie with eyes wide open, unblinking even in death.
“Yes… yes, he seems to have died at the hands of Su Changkong… In just a moment, he returned holding the head of Vice Hall Master Li and even claimed… he’ll come back to the Giant Whale Gang to see the Deputy Gang Leader if he has time…”
Still somewhat in shock, the Chen family brothers reported with trepidation.
Meng Sang’s face turned terribly grim. His understanding of Su Changkong was limited to the latter’s exceptional alchemy talent, but he had never considered the young man important enough to take seriously. No matter how skilled in alchemy, he was just a tool for pill refining, and if he couldn’t be of use, he would be replaced!
Once he learned of Su Changkong’s departure from the Giant Whale Gang, he knew the latter must be trying to escape, so he casually ordered Li Lie to deal with him.
Yet the same youth he disregarded had killed Li Lie and even sent the Chen family brothers back with the message? This was a threat to him!
The Chen family brothers kept their heads low, not daring to speak, thinking that suffering such a loss would enrage Meng Sang.
“I understand, you may go,” said Meng Sang unexpectedly with a wave of his hand, showing no emotion as he dismissed the Chen family brothers.
The brothers bowed and left the grand hall, exchanging glances, knowing that Su Changkong’s departure and Li Lie’s death would cause quite a stir within the Giant Whale Gang!
A young alchemist from the gang had directly fled and even killed a Deputy Hall Leader of the Giant Whale Gang? Few would believe this if told!
Inside the grand hall, Meng Sang, looking at Li Lie’s head before him, let a faint smile cross his lips, “This youngster… is quite interesting… He managed to kill Li Lie? Beyond my expectations, I truly wish to meet him personally.”
“But does he think he can threaten me? He’s just an ant that turned out to be slightly unexpected!”
A cold light flickered in Meng Sang’s eyes. Ignoring Li Lie’s head, he stood up, hands behind his back, and strode deep into the grand hall. If Meng Sang wished to kill someone, how could he allow that person to escape so easily?
