74: Chapter 74 The Hidden Bone Refining Master

Throwing the corpse in his hands aside, Chen Hu disappeared from where he stood once again.

"Pfft!"

A dazzling flash of blade light passed by, and a head flew into mid-air.

Looking at the headless corpse, this Tendon Refining Realm expert who had just been decapitated found it strangely familiar. Soon, he realized the headless corpse belonged to him, and then, he plunged into boundless darkness.

"My god!"

Seeing Chen Hu decapitate another Tendon Refining Realm expert with a single strike, Leader Gao Zhan couldn't help but gape. He realized that he wasn't hallucinating; rather, this guy, Chen Hu, had hidden his strength too deeply.

"Oh no!"

Seeing both of their Junior Brothers dead, the other two Tendon Refining Realm experts had no intention of avenging them; instead, they turned and fled.

"Die!"

The long blade in Chen Hu's hand slashed out repeatedly.

Two blood-red blade auras shot out from the long blade, hitting the two fleeing men perfectly.

"Splat!"

The incredibly sharp blade auras sliced the two men's bodies in half, and blood and internal organs instantly spilled all over the ground.

"Let's go!"

Sheathing his blade, Chen Hu grabbed Leader Gao Zhan's arm, unleashed Flying Bird Crossing, and transformed into a wisp of green smoke, speeding away into the distance.

Half a quarter of an hour after they left.

Two Tendon Refining Realm experts from the Divine Fist Sect arrived at the scene.

Seeing the four dead bodies, expressions of horror appeared on their Faces.

There were no signs of a struggle at the scene, which meant that all four fellow disciples had been killed instantly.

"A Bone Refining Realm expert intervened!"

The two looked at each other, considering the possibility, and immediately used a signal flare to summon their fellow disciples.

Soon, the other Tendon Refining members of the Divine Fist Sect who were participating in the ambush arrived.

Seeing the tragic state of their four fellow disciples, they all realized that something had gone wrong, and that a Bone Refining expert had been involved.

One middle-aged man said, "Quick, collect their remains, and hurry back to the Sect!"

He was particularly experienced and knew that a Bone Refining Realm expert was involved in this matter, and moreover, this Bone Refining expert was no ordinary one.

He was at least at the Mid-stage Bone Refining, or perhaps even reached Late-stage Bone Refining.

If it were an Early Stage Bone Refining expert, they might have been able to put up a fight relying on their numerical advantage.

But if the opponent was at the Late-stage Bone Refining, even if all twenty-six of them, all at the Tendon Refining Realm, were added together, they wouldn't be enough to handle him.

On the other side.

Chen Hu stopped running and let go of Leader Gao Zhan's arm.

"Brother Chen, you really hid your strength deep. As a dignified Bone Refining expert, you actually came to my Fierce Tiger Gang to be a Hall Master!" Leader Gao Zhan joked with a smile.

He dared to say this because he could actually see that Chen Hu harbored no ill will toward him.

Otherwise, when they were ambushed earlier, he could have easily escaped on his own.

There was no need for him to help him escape at all.

Therefore, he also wanted to know why Chen Hu was lying low in their Fierce Tiger Gang.

"It's very simple, I just long for the Gang lifestyle!"

Chen Hu had long since prepared an excuse.

"So that's how it is."

Leader Gao Zhan looked at Chen Hu with a strange expression. Suddenly, a thought occurred to him: "Brother Chen Hu, I was able to escape this time thanks to your help. Since you like the Gang lifestyle, why don't I promote you to Vice Leader?"

Chen Hu immediately laughed: "Haha, since the Leader says so, I won't be modest. However, what would the Vice Leader be in charge of?"

Leader Gao Zhan smiled and said: "You know that the people behind our Fierce Tiger Gang are the Huang Family, but the Huang Family only treats us as tools for smuggling salt. Therefore, what the Huang Family values most is the Fierce Tiger Gang's caravan and guard team."

"And my energy is focused on that. Since you like the Gang lifestyle, how about I hand over the four Battle Halls for you to manage?"

"Then many thanks, Leader!"

Chen Hu hurriedly cupped his fists and said. By taking control of three more halls, the number of his subordinates could instantly skyrocket by more than three hundred people.

The number of lotteries he could obtain would increase significantly.

"You're welcome, it's only right!" Leader Gao Zhan said modestly: "By the way, if you are to serve as Vice Leader, you will have to reveal some of your cultivation, otherwise it will be hard to convince the others!"

"In that case, I will reveal that I am at the Mid-stage Tendon Refining, capable of fighting against the Late-stage Tendon Refining!" Chen Hu thought for a moment and said.

"No problem!"

Leader Gao Zhan nodded.

"Alright then, let's hurry back to the Prefecture City!"

Thus, the two set off again.

With the two's speed, it didn't take long for them to catch up with Da Niu and Er Niu.

The group became four people.

Then they arrived at a town, where the four of them bought four horses and rode toward Linjiang Prefecture.

Near dusk.

The group of four returned to Linjiang Prefecture.

Leader Gao Zhan asked Chen Hu to return first, as he had to go pay his respects to Young Master Huang Shixuan to show his loyalty.

Young Master Huang Shixuan received Leader Gao Zhan.

But because of the ambush, he only offered a few casual words of encouragement before dismissing Leader Gao Zhan.

That night, five of the Huang Family's Tendon Refining guards returned one after another.

From these guards, it was confirmed that four Tendon Refining guards had been killed on the spot.

The rest had all fled.

Now only five had returned; the remaining three were either still on their way back or had already been caught and killed by the Divine Fist Sect.

"Damn the Divine Fist Sect!"

Young Master Huang Shixuan shouted in a furious tone.

Immediately, he looked at his father, Huang Yongcheng: "Father, this Divine Fist Sect is truly overbearing. They don't hold our Huang Family in any regard at all. What should we do next?"

"They let you leave, which is already showing restraint. If we continue to fight, we will definitely suffer even greater losses. Therefore, we can only seek peace again!" Huang Yongcheng said with a bitter smile. He already felt some regret in his heart.

He shouldn't have been too prominent when snatching the Black Horned Beast that night.

At the same time, he also slightly underestimated the ruthlessness and boldness of the Divine Fist Sect.

"What?" Young Master Huang Shixuan was shocked: "We still have to make peace with them?"

"What else?"

Huang Yongcheng looked at his exasperated son: "Do you want to fight them to the bitter end? The Divine Fist Sect has a Marrow Refining expert sitting in command. Unless we mobilize a large army, we won't be able to completely eradicate them. Do you think our Huang Family has the qualifications to mobilize a large army?"

Hearing this, Young Master Huang Shixuan became somewhat discouraged.

"Shixuan, you must remember that a moment of impulse means nothing. As the saying goes, 'Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad'!" Huang Yongcheng said thoughtfully: "Judging from the Divine Fist Sect targeting our Huang Family, the Divine Fist Sect is extremely vindictive."

"It wasn't just our Huang Family that forced the Divine Fist Sect to retreat that night; there were several other families. Do you think they will only retaliate against our Huang Family?"

Young Master Huang Shixuan was thoughtful: "Father, you mean they will also retaliate against the other families?"

"Correct!" Huang Yongcheng nodded: "The reason they retaliated against our Huang Family first is simply because we were easier to target. After our Huang Family chooses to concede and make peace, they will naturally shift their focus to the other four families."

"Once they have offended the other four families, we will talk to them again. As long as our Five Great Families join forces and pay the corresponding price to invite a few Marrow Refining experts, it won't be difficult to wipe out the Divine Fist Sect!"

Understanding his father's scheme, Young Master Huang Shixuan's eyes lit up: "Father, you are truly wise!"

"Alright, tomorrow you will select someone to take some exotic beast meat and silver notes to the Divine Fist Sect to make peace!" Huang Yongcheng said.

"Yes!" This time, Young Master Huang Shixuan did not resist in the slightest.
