28: Chapter 28 The Three He Brothers

After being able to manipulate objects with his Spiritual Sense, Chen Hu developed some special ideas.

He could completely purchase some steel needles to place in his Storage Ring, and when facing an enemy, use his Spiritual Sense to control the needles to launch a sneak attack.

The force of the steel needles might not pierce a Martial Artist's skin, but it could definitely pierce the opponent's eyes.

At the same time, inspired by the steel needles, he thought of some other methods.

For example, storing bags of lime powder and various medicinal powders inside his Storage Ring.

During a fight, he could sprinkle the lime powder and medicinal powders onto the opponent.

Besides that, he could also use chili powder, as well as toxic liquids and foul-smelling liquids.

"Start preparing from tomorrow!"

"With these things, my means of self-preservation will definitely be greatly improved!"

Steadying his mind, Chen Hu consumed a piece of exotic beast meat and began to Cultivate the Longevity Technique.

The next morning.

Chen Hu arrived at the Gang stronghold on Yuquan Street.

Not long after.

Er Niu ran into Chen Hu's office again and told him a piece of news.

Another Personal Disciple of the Sun Family Martial Arts Hall had been assassinated.

The one killed this time was Master Sun Changming's fifth Personal Disciple, named Gong Ya.

Just like Lu Jianfei.

This Gong Ya was also brutally murdered, and the killer was extremely cruel, having also murdered Gong Ya's wife and son.

After the incident, Master Sun Changming fell into a rage.

Not only did he personally investigate the killer, but he also issued a bounty; if anyone could provide clues about the killer, the Sun Family Martial Arts Hall would reward them with 1000 taels of silver and a Yellow Grade high-tier Cultivation Technique.

"Boss, should we go investigate the killer? What if we find clues about the killer?" Er Niu was clearly tempted by the 1000 taels of silver and the Cultivation Technique.

"As long as you are not afraid of death, go investigate!"

Chen Hu said indifferently, and repeated the analysis he had made at the restaurant yesterday to Er Niu.

Upon hearing that the killer was at least at the Meat Refining Stage, possibly in the Tendon Refining Realm, and might even have a Late-stage Tendon Refining expert backing them up.

Er Niu decisively extinguished the idea of looking for the killer.

To prevent some fool from having a sudden inspiration and implicating him.

Therefore, Chen Hu decided it was necessary to gather all his subordinates and give them a warning.

Soon.

Chen Hu gathered the two teams of men under his command.

He repeated it once more: the killer behind the Sun Family Martial Arts Hall was very powerful, an existence they could not afford to provoke.

Do not throw away your lives for that 1000 taels of silver and the Cultivation Technique.

Hearing Chen Hu say this, the faces of several subordinates turned slightly pale.

It was obvious that after learning about the Sun Family Martial Arts Hall's bounty, they too had been blinded by the 1000 taels of silver and that Yellow Grade high-tier Cultivation Technique.

If Chen Hu hadn't gathered them to give a warning.

They would likely have already joined in the investigation of the killer.

Although Chen Hu warned his subordinates not to investigate the killer, he was still quite concerned about the matter.

Near noon, Er Niu came to report again.

Master Sun Changming had personally investigated the killer for the whole morning without success, and gradually calmed down.

He had already returned to the Sun Family Martial Arts Hall.

He gathered the other four Personal Disciples, including Chen Wu, to the martial arts hall and instructed Chen Wu and the others to bring their families to live at the hall.

At the same time, Master Sun Changming also ordered all Outer Sect Disciples not to go out, and if they must go out, it was best to travel in groups.

As for the ordinary Disciples, Master Sun Changming did not have any requirements for them.

However, for their own safety.

One-third of the ordinary Disciples had already withdrawn from the Sun Family Martial Arts Hall.

They were only spending money to learn martial arts; they had no intention of living and dying with the Sun Family Martial Arts Hall.

After hearing the news, Chen Hu took Er Niu to a restaurant.

After eating at the restaurant, he sent Er Niu away and returned to his own small courtyard.

After finishing his disguise, he went to other streets to make purchases.

Soon.

Chen Hu purchased hundreds of steel needles, hundreds of one-jin bags of lime powder, thirty bags of itching powder, twenty bags of poison powder, as well as twenty bags of sleeping powder, and thirty bottles of toxic liquid.

Once the twenty bags of poison powder landed on the skin, it would cause the skin to fester, and even Martial Artists were no exception.

Originally, he wanted to buy more, but unfortunately, that shop only had a stock of 20 bags.

However, Chen Hu paid a deposit to pick up 100 more bags in two days.

Besides that, he also ordered 100 bags of sleeping powder and 100 bottles of toxic liquid.

The effect of the toxic liquid was even more overbearing, possessing super strong corrosiveness, capable of corroding a Martial Artist's skin and flesh.

After putting the medicine bottles containing the toxic liquid into his Storage Ring, Chen Hu directly removed the toxic liquid from the bottles, letting it float in the space inside the Storage Ring.

When he needed to use it.

He could just roll it up with his Spiritual Sense and splash it on the enemy.

Time unconsciously arrived at dusk.

After Cultivating for a day, Chen Hu clearly felt that the Qi in his Dantian had grown significantly stronger.

After Cultivating for a few more days, his Qi would reach a saturated state, at which point he could attempt to breakthrough to the Tendon Refining Realm.

The matter at the Sun Family Martial Arts Hall made Chen Hu feel a sense of crisis.

Therefore, he did not go to Widow Wang's place today.

He planned to return to his own small courtyard and diligently practice martial arts.

Besides, Widow Wang had just started Cultivating and also needed time to Cultivate.

However, after walking for a distance.

Chen Hu felt a pair of eyes tailing him in the dark.

After Cultivating his Divine Soul, his perception had become extremely sharp; even if someone just glanced at him, he would have a sense of it.

Moreover, this pair of eyes spying on him also carried a thick malice.

He swept his Spiritual Sense across.

Chen Hu discovered the other party.

He took out a copy card and locked onto the other party.

Part of the other party's information appeared in his mind.

He possessed the cultivation of the Refining Flesh Mid-Stage.

His talent was barely graded, only Yellow Grade low-tier.

After detecting that the other party was only at the Refining Flesh Mid-Stage, Chen Hu felt much more at ease.

Pretending to know nothing, he continued walking towards his home.

Passing by a deli, he even bought two catties of cooked meat.

Passing by a liquor store, he bought two catties of loose liquor.

He Third, hiding in the dark, saw this scene and thought to himself: "It would be best if this kid gets drunk; that would make it convenient for the three of us brothers to act!"

Indeed, the one tailing Chen Hu was none other than He Third, the youngest of the three He brothers.

They had accepted three thousand taels of silver and intended to take Chen Hu's life.

At first, they were very surprised.

Killing someone at the Late Skin Refining Stage, the employer actually offered three thousand taels.

Therefore, they did not easily agree; only after the client collected relevant information about Chen Hu did they accept this commission.

Then He Third personally came to Yuquan Street to tail Chen Hu.

He followed Chen Hu all the way back home before leaving.

Late tonight, he would join his eldest brother and second brother to take this kid's life.

After finishing dinner, Chen Hu began to silently Cultivate.

When the time reached late at night.

He sensed three auras arriving outside his courtyard.

Sweeping with his Spiritual Sense.

He discovered three burly men dressed in night-traveler clothes, with quite similar appearances.

Using the copy card to detect their cultivation.

One at the Meat Refining Stage, two at the Refining Flesh Mid-Stage.

With a thought.

Three bags of sleeping powder were moved out of the storage space, and then, supported by his Spiritual Sense, they flew out.

Soon.

The three He brothers jumped directly over the wall.

At this moment, the packaging of the three bags of sleeping powder floating in mid-air tore open, and a large amount of powder drifted down from the sky.

Because of the night, the three He brothers did not notice the falling powder, and within a few breaths, they had inhaled quite a bit.

Flashing their figures.

The three He brothers dashed to the outside of the main room.

They discovered that the door to the main room was ajar.

So, they pushed it open directly.

They discovered Chen Hu sitting in the main room, drinking tea with a relaxed expression. Seeing them arrive, he was not surprised at all, but instead asked with a smile: "You're here?"
