Port District.
Yinghui Grocery Store.
Learning the Eagle Claw Hand did not take much time for Chen Sheng.
[Ancient Eagle Claw Hand LVI: 0/500]
This is just a fighting method that maximizes the body enhancement brought by the Eagle’s Breath.
After using 0.1 skill points to upgrade Eagle Claw Hand, Zhou Li was once again deeply defeated by Chen Sheng’s extraordinary talent.
They practiced for a while.
Feeling a lingering sense of fatigue in his body, Chen Sheng decided to return to his room to rest with Zhou Li.
Soon,
Aside from the occasional coughing from Zhou Li’s room, the entire backyard was silent.
Not long after lying in bed, Chen Sheng fell asleep deeply.
Late at night.
Everything was quiet.
Outside the grocery store, a figure appeared silently.
It’s the dog-faced man.
He stood quietly in the shadows, making not the slightest sound.
Even if someone walked by, they probably wouldn’t notice him without observing carefully.
Before long,
Accompanied by a slight noise,
Another figure appeared.
This is a faceless man wearing a blank mask.
In the mysterious organization, it appears they use animal masks to distinguish the strength of their members.
A blank mask represents the Light Energy.
A pig face mask represents Hidden Energy.
And a dog face mask represents the Transforming Power.
Now, the two are working together just to steal spirit medicine from a Hidden
Energy Warrior.
The newly arrived faceless man felt that it was a case of overkill.
After all, with yesterday’s event, the alert level of the Jincheng District has been raised a lot.
The entire city is filled with patrolling and investigating officers from the Wu’an Bureau.
The two of them revealing their presence is risky, to say the least.
“Just the two of us, just to steal spirit medicine?”
The faceless man immediately made a sequence of hand gestures expressing the doubts in his heart.
“Just in case.”
The dog-faced man responded likewise in hand gestures.
Although Chen Sheng’s strength is not worth mentioning,
The key to the mission is not to alert him. Plus, Mr. Hai repeatedly reminded them not to make mistakes, which is why the dog-faced man brought a companion.
Strong anesthetic drugs are not easy to obtain, and presently only the faceless man in front of him has them in the Jincheng District.
Having said that,
Without further delay,
The dog-faced man lightly waved his hand and leapt straight to the roof of the grocery store.
The faceless man followed closely.
Both of them were martial artists; their feet landing on the roof tiles did not make a single sound.
Upon reaching the backyard,
The dog-faced man stopped in front of two rooms, discerning which one was Chen Sheng’s room quickly.
During this time,
The faceless man continually stared at the Iron Man Pile in the courtyard.
This Iron Man Pile…
It’s broken and a piece of it has been dug out.
What exactly did the people from the Eagle Body Sect do to it?
Before the faceless man could make sense of the situation, he saw from the corner of his eyes that the dog-faced man was signalling him.
With the dog-faced man’s status and strength both higher than his, the faceless man couldn’t afford to delay responding, so he immediately came forward.
The dog-faced man held out his hand.
The faceless man promptly took out two white cards and handed them over.
These white cards are coated with a special anesthetic substance.
As soon as the thin film on the surface is peeled off, the anesthetic substance begins to evaporate.
One card is enough to render a Transformation Realm Fighter unconscious within a minute.
To deal with Chen Sheng, whose information showed only Hidden Energy, this was more than enough.
With this thought in mind,
The dog-faced man peeled off the film and slipped the cards into the two rooms through the door cracks. The two quietly waited.
After half a minute,
The coughing sound from Zhou Li’s room no longer occurred.
On Chen Sheng’s side, there was no movement from beginning to end.
After waiting for a full five minutes,
The two exchanged glances and nodded to each other.
Only then did the dog-faced man open the room door and walk in.
Since Chen Sheng did not have the habit of sleeping with the lights on, it was pitch dark inside the room.
Fortunately,
As a martial artist, the dog-faced man has exceptional eyesight, so he doesn’t need light to see clearly.
Upon entering the room, the dog-faced man gestured.
“Stand guard outside, if anyone approaches…”
As his sign language reached its end, the dog-faced man’s finger lightly scraped across his neck.
The faceless man understood.
He slowly retreated and eventually positioned himself on the outskirts of the grocery store, keeping a keen eye on the surroundings.
Inside the room,
The dog-faced man first checked Chen Sheng’s condition by the bedside.
On the bed,
Chen Sheng was lying on his back, his hands folded on his chest, sleeping very peacefully, as if he was in a deep coma.
With just one glance, the dog-faced man ignored him.
The object of their mission was anesthetized, indicating luck is on his side.
If he hadn’t been anesthetized, the dog-faced man would have to resort to killing him tonight and furthermore, he would have difficulty explaining it to Mr. Hai.
Thinking about this,
The dog-faced man took a deeper look at Chen Sheng and then began rummaging through the room.
However,
He searched under the bed, inside the wooden cabinets, every corner of the room,
but he didn’t find it.
Damn it,
Where exactly did this kid hide the spirit medicine?
Could it be that it’s not in this room?
The dog-faced man thought about it and was preparing to stand up and search Zhou Li’s room.
But just then.
“Are you looking for this?”
Chen Sheng’s somewhat playful voice was heard.
At the sound of the voice, the dog-faced man froze and stopped moving.
He turned his head to look at the bed.
Chen Sheng had somehow sat up and was looking at him curiously.
In his hands was an opened wooden box. Inside, six Spirit Medicines lay quietly.
“You shouldn’t have woken up.”
Facing an opponent far weaker than himself, the dog-faced man remained unfazed.
He slowly rose, walking up to Chen Sheng and spoke with a tinge of pity. “If you had remained unconscious, I wouldn’t have killed you.”
“But now ..
Indeed, as the dog-faced man had said.
His goal wasn’t to kill Chen Sheng; it was for the Spirit Medicine Chen held.
But now that Chen Sheng was awake, he could not let him live. The thought of not accomplishing Mr. Hails mission perfectly gave him a headache.
His gaze towards Chen Sheng inevitably carried a hint of ruthlessness.
“Hand over the Spirit Medicine.” He reached out to Chen Sheng.
“I’ll make your death quick.”
During this dialogue,
The dog-faced man’s momentum gradually rose, exerting an enormous pressure.
Facing the dog-faced man’s threat, Chen Sheng appeared distressed, as if he was making a choice.
Impatience flickered in the dog-faced man’s eyes.
“Forget it, just die.”
Having said that, he reached out to snatch the medicine,
But at that moment,
Chen Sheng, as if scared, hurriedly placed the wooden box in his hand.
“You can have it.”
“But, I want to make a bet with you.”
“What bet?”
The dog-faced man raised his eyebrows slightly.
He had long since decided to kill Chen Sheng.
Now, he just wanted to see what tricks this kid in front of him still had to play.
“Let’s bet… Whether you have the luck to take away the Spirit Medicine.”
Chen Sheng’s words carried a playful tone.
Just as the words fell.
The dog-faced man was about to scoff.
But he saw Chen Sheng slowly rise from the bed, standing opposite him.
A pair of emotionless eyes stared at him.
Unexplainably, the dog-faced man felt a chill in his heart.
It was as if he was gazed upon by an extremely dangerous beast.
How is this possible?!
This boy should belong to the Hidden Energy level, why does he pose this strong threat to me? Before he could figure it out,
Inhale—
A sharp intake of breath broke the silence of the night. Crack…crack!
The sound echoed from within Chen Sheng’s body.
The next second,
A massive shadow, darker than the night, enveloped him from above.
The dog-faced man suddenly froze in his tracks.
The contempt in his eyes was quickly replaced with horror.
He slowly looked up,
Since his movements were so stiff, his neck produced the same cracking sound.
“You—
Before he could finish,
His vision was completely engulfed by darkness.
Whoosh!
The faceless man abruptly turned towards the direction of the backyard.
Did he just hear something?
No accidents happened, did it?
Even though he knew the probability of an accident happening was extremely small,
But deep down, he couldn’t shake off that uneasy feeling.
Just as the faceless man was hesitating whether to go back to the backyard to check,
Swoosh—
The glass door was flung open.
“Hmm?”
“There’s another one?”
Chen Sheng, who was carrying a black plastic bag, came face to face with the faceless man.
“You—”
The faceless man pointed at Chen Sheng, his face filled with surprise.
Isn’t this the target?
Wasn’t he supposedly unconscious? Why is he awake?
What’s inside that bag?
In an instant,
Numerous questions flashed through the faceless man’s mind.
But when the metallic scent from within the plastic bag hit his nostrils,
A possibility exploded in his mind.
His surprise rapidly turned to horror.
The countless thoughts in the faceless man’s mind collapsed into one.
Run!
Without any hesitation,
The faceless man turned and ran, using every ounce of his strength.
But the next second,
He heard a whooshing sound coming from behind his head.
A splitting sound echoed.
The faceless man barely covered two or three meters before his body came to a sudden halt.
He slowly looked down to find,
An arm-like cast-iron protruding from his chest.
The arm’s five fingers were long and bulky.
In its palm, a still-beating heart was clenched.
“Is this…. ”
Before the question could rise,
The light in the eyes of the faceless man rapidly died out.
Thump!
His body hit the ground as the arm withdrew.
Chen Sheng, with a disgusted face, casually tossed the heart into the black plastic bag.
Picking up the lifeless body of the faceless man, he tried to stuff it into the bag.
But the bag was only big enough and could hardly fit two men.
Chen Sheng couldn’t help but frown and click his tongue.
“What a hassle..”
