Chapter 74: Chapter 62: Momentum Like Splitting Bamboo! Knife Chopping Divine Bravery! 1

The remaining martial artists of the Black Cavalry Gang were besieging Yu Jiao. The scimitar in her hand, like a venomous snake spitting out its tongue, had already felled two men to the ground, but she was also being forced into a desperate situation. However, the echoing roar of Cao Hong’s dying rage caused them to involuntarily halt in unison.

“The Second Master… is dead!”

About a dozen martial artists of the Black Cavalry Gang incredulously stared at the corpse on the ground, split in two, its blood and entrails horrifically staining the dirt, all questioning whether they were witnessing an illusion.

Cao Hong, a martial artist of the Divine Bravery Stage ranked among the top in the area of Clearwater City, the mighty Second Master of the Black Cavalry Gang, had perished upon facing Su Changkong, in just a few exchanges, leaving behind a mutilated body!

Standing there in black garb, sword in hand, Su Changkong looked like the very embodiment of the Grim Reaper, a mere glance from him sufficient to cause utter fear.

“He… he killed Cao Hong!”

Yu Jiao was also shocked by the scene before her. Even if her father faced Cao Hong, victory would require a protracted battle, yet the fight at her side had just started when the battle there had already ended!

The Iron Cutting Blade Technique practiced by Su Changkong was known for just this characteristic, should he suppress you, it’s near impossible to entangle with him for long; the victor would be decided swiftly.

“Kill!”

Although Yu Jiao was shocked, she quickly regained her composure, her scimitar executing swift chops that beheaded two Black Cavalry Gang martial artists.

“The Second Master is dead!”

“Run!”

The death of Cao Hong left the remaining Black Cavalry Gang martial artists devoid of any will to resist as they scrambled to escape.

And since Su Changkong had already taken action, he naturally would not let any of them go. His figure moved like lightning, swiftly catching up with the fleeing Black Cavalry Gang martial artists, with any casual swing of his Iron- Cutting Sword easily taking a head.

With the ruthless Yu Jiao joining in, it wasn’t long before none could escape the forest; they were all beheaded on the spot.

Soon after, the woods fell silent once more, the ground littered with bodies, the air thickwith the stench of blood, leavingonly Yu Jiao and Su Changkong.

Yu Jiao couldn’t help but glance at Cao Hong’s bifurcated corpse, her scalp tingling. She swallowed hard and managed to squeeze out a strained smile, “Thank you, young hero, for lending a hand and helping this maiden eliminate these villains!”

Yu Jiao looked well-mannered, and her soft and gentle demeanor made her appear very frail, but Su Changkong could clearly see that Yu Jiao did not so much as tremble when killing, far from being as fragile as she appeared.

With a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes, Su Changkong said, “I should also thank you for dragging me into this.”

Su Changkong had no intention of meddling, but it was Yu Jiao who deliberately exposed his hiding place, forcing him to take action and resume his killing spree.

Yu Jiao’s smile stiffened somewhat; she had only intended to use the hidden passerby to attract the Black Cavalry Gang’s attention and create chaos in hopes of finding a slim chance of survival. How could she have known that the stranger would be so terrifying? With but a few cuts, he had mercilessly bisected Cao Hong, a powerful fighter, making him the epitome of cruelty!

Yu Jiao bowed and said, “That was presumptuous of me. My father is Yu Sha, the Deputy Gang Leader of the White Jade Gang. Should you not disdain us, you are welcome to visit our gang. My father will certainly treat you with the utmost hospitality. Whether it’s divine weapons or treasures and wealth, he will spare no effort to repay the young hero for saving my life!”

Yu Jiao, skillfully avoiding the topic of the recent event, revealed her identity and promised that her father would fully compensate Su Changkong, clearly aiming to dispel any murderous intent he might have harbored.

Su Changkong seemed somewhat tempted. He pondered for a moment and slowly nodded, “Very well, you leave this place first. I need to take care of the scene here. I’ll pay a visit to the White Jade Gang someday.”

At his words, Yu Jiao was overjoyed. The young martial artist did not harbor a killing intent toward her; it seemed that her persuasion had worked. Killing her served no benefit, and it was better to forge an alliance when there was an opportunity to maximize her interests!

“Many thanks, young hero. I will await your arrival at the White Jade Gang and welcome you myself!”

Yu Jiao bowed repeatedly and thanked him, not daring to linger, she turned and left swiftly.

“This young martial artist is too terrifying… Given time, he will inevitably become one of the top experts in Clearwater City. With him having killed Cao Hong, perhaps we could use this opportunity to tie him to the White Jade Gang’s chariot, regardless of the cost!”

Walking away, Yu Jiao quickly plotted in her mind.

With the White Jade Gang at a disadvantage in the war against the Black Cavalry Gang, having such a powerful ally could significantly increase the overall strength of the White Jade Gang!

“Divine weapons, martial arts secret manuals, peerless beauties—all things that could appeal to a young heroic figure like him…”

But just as Yu Jiao was contemplating how to win over Su Changkong, she suddenly felt a chill at the back of her neck, and then a sensation of light­headedness overwhelmed her as her head separated from her neck and fell to the ground.

She saw her own headless body slowly fall to the ground, and she also saw Su Changkong, standing behind her with the Iron-Cutting Sword, sheathing it back into its scabbard with an expressionless face and bone-chilling eyes.

“I… am dead?”

Yu Jiao still found it hard to believe that she, who had just narrowly escaped death, would lose her life here, her consciousness fading and her eyes losing their luster.

“Did she really think I was a fool?”

Looking at Yu Jiao’s body, Su Changkong snorted coldly.

Compared to Cao Hong and the other Black Cavalry Gang martial artists, Su Changkong’s most intense killing intent had been reserved for Yu Jiao who dragged him into the mess!

If Su Changkong had been in a similar situation to that of Yu Jiao, he didn’ t know if he would have implicated an innocent person as she did, but Yu Jiao certainly had, and if Su Changkong hadn’t been strong enough, he would have undoubtedly died there.

Having killed Cao Hong and the others, how could Su Changkong even think of sparing Yu Jiao, who dragged him into trouble?

Moreover, Su Changkong had no interest in getting involved in the conflict between the White Jade Gang and the Black Cavalry Gang.

Compared to the Black Cavalry Gang, the Black Cavalry Gang was indeed despicable, but the White Jade Gang was no saint either. Although more restrained than the Black Cavalry Gang, they were bound to have committed countless acts of implicating the innocent and oppressing others!

Whichever side perished, they deserved it!
