15: Legs like big snakes, evil people are in a panic

Late at night, when all was quiet:

Ever since learning of Liu Jun's death yesterday, Big Boss Li Hao had been feeling uneasy.

Although Hall Master Liu said that Liu Jun offended a Wubao Disciples, which was why he was killed.

But, he didn't believe it at all.

Because, today when he delivered silver to Young Master He Qi, Young Master He Qi even asked why Liu Jun hadn't come.

Later, after learning that Liu Jun was dead and his property had been confiscated by the yamen, he was so angry that he cursed.

"Liu Jun was a Big Boss for a year, and he committed all sorts of evil deeds, offending countless people."

"His death this time was either a revenge killing, or a passing hero casually took his life."

"I... I've been a Big Boss for three years... I'm even worse than Liu Jun."

"Will someone kill me?"

Li Hao, who was burly and muscular, grew more and more terrified the more he thought about it.

He quietly got up, not daring to disturb his wife, and packed his gold, silver, and valuables: "I'm going to sleep somewhere else tonight."

He slung his satchel over his shoulder, tiptoed, opened the door, closed it, and turned around.

Li Hao froze.

In the courtyard, there was an extra Masked Man in hemp clothes.

"Oh no, he's going to kill me."

Li Hao opened his mouth, wanting to shout.

However, in the next second, that figure, like a large snake, twisted left and right, and in the space of a breath, it rushed in front of him.

Under the moonlight, the Masked Man raised his leg high and kicked down fiercely.

Whoosh!

The wind howled, like a snake's hiss.

Li Hao was shocked: "Who?!"

This leg came too fast, too ferociously; caught off guard, Li Hao didn't have time to dodge and fully activated his Iron Cloth.

Ha!

His muscles swelled, and under his fine clothes, his skin turned a bluish-green.

Bang!

The long leg brutally struck his chest.

His upper clothes burst open, and Li Hao was sent flying, smashing through the door and falling into the house.

Chu Qing felt a pain in his leg, as if he had kicked a rock.

He roared, his feet moving like a large snake, pursuing relentlessly.

Bang!

Another kick.

His falling body was sent airborne.

Li Hao was both shocked and enraged: I haven't done anything bad these past two days, why are you killing me?

Chu Qing sprung into the air with a kick, surpassing Li Hao, his long leg like a snake's tail, striking down from above.

Bang!

The long leg struck his chest again.

Boom!

With the third strike, Li Hao's massive body crashed heavily to the ground; his enraged eyes filled with disbelief.

Without Iron Bones, why is his strength so great?

How many Iron Tendons has this person Cultivated??

Bang!

The fourth strike followed immediately, again striking his chest.

His Five Viscera and Six Bowels vibrated, and a mouthful of blood surged into his heart.

Li Hao was furious, his eyes splitting with rage, as he frantically swung his arms:

Just block the next strike, just block the next strike... Damn it, I can't even block one!

Bang!

Two long legs, like the tails of giant snakes, struck fiercely.

The fifth strike, the sixth strike, the seventh strike... Whoosh!

Chu Qing stopped striking and let out a long breath, which surprisingly carried a hint of blood.

The hemp trousers on his legs had already burst, and blood beads were actually seeping from his pores.

"What a tough body."

"Golden Bell Shield? Iron Cloth? Thirteen Grand Protectors Transverse Cultivation?"

On the ground, the muscular body was a pulpy mess.

Li Hao, dead!

...Finally killed him.

Chu Qing gasped for breath.

He hadn't expected Li Hao to Cultivate defensive hard Cultivation Technique.

Fortunately, his legs had more Iron Tendons, and his Red Snake Leg was more powerful and decisive.

Otherwise... he wouldn't have been able to kill him.

There was a suppressed sobbing sound from inside the house, but Chu Qing didn't bother to look; he directly examined the corpse.

A bundle?

The commotion just now was too loud, so Chu Qing didn't dare to delay; he grabbed the bundle and turned to leave.

After a long while, his wife's heart-wrenching screams came from inside the house:

"Murderer!"

"Murderer...!"

...Under the dim oil lamp:

Chu Qing opened the bundle.

Dozens of taels ofSmall change, but not a single silver note.

Instead, there were some gold and silver ornaments.

Unfortunately, these things were not easy to sell.

Fortunately, there was also a Secret Manual.

[Iron Cloth]

"Indeed, this guy Cultivated transverse Cultivation Technique."

Chu Qing flipped through the Secret Manual and found that it was dog-eared, indicating that its owner often read it.

Chu Qing was literate and read the book carefully.

A minute later:

[Cultivation Technique: Iron Cloth — One hundred refinements daily,Getting Started in one hundred days]

[Promotion Conditions: 1: Wear hemp clothes,Getting Started in five days]

This time, the Cultivation Technique promotion condition was a bit... overly simple.

Hemp clothes?

Although the set he was wearing was torn, he still had another set at home.

He changed into it.

Chu Qing changed into a set of hemp clothes and lit the torn hemp clothes on fire.

"I just don't know how those people from the yamen will react."

...Chief Constable Shi's face was expressionless; when his subordinates told him that another Big Boss of the Blood River Gang had died, he was in a bad mood.

Provocation!

The killer is provoking me.

Xu Zuo reported:

"The deceased, Li Hao, Cultivated forty Iron Tendons, and his Iron Cloth was at least proficient, possibly even at Major Achievement."

"There were snake patterns on the body; suspected... killed by a Perfection Red Snake Leg."

In the main hall, Chief Constable Shi's face was expressionless.

All the constables bowed their heads in silence.

After a long while, Chief Constable Shi said:

"I just arrested people from the Mantis Martial Hall, Iron Hand, and other martial halls."

"Then, a killer from the Red Snake Martial Hall appeared?"

"Is he trying to save someone from a certain martial hall?"

"Or is he trying to frame a certain martial hall?"

"Perfection Red Snake Leg? How many people in Shiji County can achieve that?"

The Crowd dared not speak.

Chief Constable Shi whispered: "The previous deceased was killed by Mantis Fist, and the Red Snake Leg Secret Manual in his home disappeared."

"This deceased was killed by Red Snake Leg, and the Iron Cloth Secret Manual is gone."

"Do you think there will be another deceased?"

"Will the next deceased be beaten to death by a muscular man who has mastered Iron Cloth?"

...Hall Master Liu couldn't sleep.

Because he was dragged out of bed in the middle of the night by eleven Big Boss.

"Li Hao is dead."

"Liu Jun is dead."

"All the people who died are from our hall."

"Hall Master Liu, what should we do?"

Hall Master Liu sighed inwardly, what to do? What can I do!

The Big Boss were terrified, fearing that they would become the next target.

"Hall Master Liu, why don't we all stay at your house first?"

"There are many of us; the killer would never dare to attack us."

Hall Master Liu quickly shook his head.

Are you kidding?

None of these Big Boss under him were good people; if they moved in, who knew how many of his dozen concubines would be able to preserve their chastity.

"Ahem... Li Hao Cultivated Iron Cloth."

"Even I would have to put in some effort to kill him."

"But the killer beat him to death in three or five moves."

"How do you compare to Li Hao?"

The Big Boss were terrified.

Hall Master Liu said calmly: "Tomorrow, you will go to see Young Master He Qi and serve as his bodyguards for a few days. You can both curry favor with him and avoid the killer. Why not?"

The Big Boss all nodded and hurriedly left... Shiji County, with its hundreds of thousands of people, should have been bustling and prosperous due to the initial examination of the martial arts academy.

However, with the deaths of Liu Jun and Li Hao, a sense of panic immediately spread.

The gang leaders were all in a state of alarm.

But the common people were overjoyed.

Those two dead men had bullied men and women and committed all sorts of evil.

Who knew how many families they had ruined and destroyed.

Now that they were dead, the common people secretly applauded, and some even secretly set up memorial tablets, worshipping Chu Qing as a god.

Upon learning this, Chu Qing shook his head and smiled wryly.

"I'm not that great."

"I just want to clip Hall Master Liu's wings and nip the problem in the bud."

"Hmm... and by the way, collect more Cultivation Technique, Cultivate more Iron Tendons, and pass the initial examination."

"That's all."
