Chapter 72: Chapter 62: Momentum Like Splitting

Bamboo! Knife Chopping Divine Bravery!_l

“Be careful!”

A martial artist from the Black Cavalry Gang exclaimed in shock.

“Crack crack!11

Thunderous explosions were still echoing through the woods when Su Changkong took instantaneous action. He launched both fists at once, and two members of the Black Cavalry Gang, their brains still buzzing, were sent flying by Su Changkong’s heavy punches, traveling one or two meters through the air with collapsed chests, blood mixed with fragments of their innards spurting wildly!

Having his identity unexpectedly exposed by these Black Cavalry Gang martial artists, Su Changkong understood that there could be no peaceful resolution, and if that was the case, he had to strike first to gain the advantage. It was a fight for survival—kill or be killed!

“Kill him!”

The rest of the Black Cavalry Gang martial artists were a mix of shock and rage as several of them, roaring furiously, rushed toward him with swords and sabers drawn, blocking the directions Su Changkong could dodge to and intending to chop him into pieces!

Five Animal Frolics. Spinning Flying Crane!

Su Changkong stamped his foot and, like a bird, his body spun and flitted agilely out of the encirclement, just before the blades struck, leaving only his afterimage behind.

“Crack crack!”

With a swing of his arms, Su Changkong spread them like an ape and immediately several of the Black Cavalry Gang experts at the Strength Refinement Realm were swept off their feet, bones broken and tendons snapped, flying backwards!

The gap was too great!

These Black Cavalry Gang martial artists were elite fighters each capable of taking on multiple foes at the Strength Refinement Realm, but in Su Changkong’s eyes, there was no difference; all could be seriously injured or killed with a single strike!

In just the span of a few breaths, Su Changkong had dealt with four or five people, his power at the Divine Bravery Stage was undeniable!

“You bastard!”

A roar as thunderous as before burst forth, causing a painful ringing in the ears.

It was Cao Hong, his eyes wide with fury, not expecting Su Changkong to suddenly take action, but he quickly reacted. After his angry shout, he stepped forward, his arm bulging with muscles as thick as an ordinary man1 s thigh, visibly bursting with explosive power, and he threw a punch toward Su Changkong’s back!

The fist hadn’t even arrived yet, but a heavy pressure was already assaulting

him.

“Divine Bravery Stage!”

Su Changkong’s heart tightened as he instantly judged Cao Hong to be a powerful practitioner with Body Refinement Great Achievement at the Divine Bravery Stage!

This wasn’t unexpected. As a gang that could throw its weight around in the Clearwater City region, the Black Cavalry Gang naturally had its share of martial arts masters. Their gang leader Shi Zijian’s fame was widespread, and his underlings including the Second and Third Masters were all among the top fighters in the Clearwater City area!

Cao Hong, as the Second Master of the Black Cavalry Gang, had already entered the Divine Bravery Stage years ago!

Facing a master like Cao Hong, Su Changkong dared not be careless. He circulated the Turtle Breathing True Qi in his body, spreading from his dantian throughout his entire body. Every muscle swelled with power, and in his perception, everything seemed to slow down.

Su Changkong gathered his strength, stepped around, and ferociously threw out his right fist to meet the one coming at him from behind.

“Boom!”

The two heavy fists collided without any flair, and after a moment of silence, they exploded like firecrackers, the two formidable forces equally matched, stirring up a wind that blew the dead branches and fallen leaves beneath their feet scattering around, leaving the area within a ten-foot radius completely bare!

“Thud thud thud!”

Both Su Changkong and Cao Hong felt an immense force from their opponent, uncontrollably shaken, each took three steps back. With every step, their feet impressed clear footprints into the ground.

They were evenly matched!

“This Cao Hong is not simple… reaching Body Refinement Great Achievement, and also cultivating inner strength,” Su Changkong thought to himself.

Generally, many martial artists don’t practice inner strength because it requires long-term cultivation to accumulate any results and the manuals for inner strength are rare and precious, hard to obtain for most people.

After reaching Body Refinement Great Achievement, Cao Hong painstakingly cultivated inner strength to unlock potential and yearned to progress further. “This lad is so young, yet he’s reached this level? Even if you look across the entire Ink Forest Prefecture, he would undoubtedly be considered a martial arts prodigy!”

After their clash, Cao Hong felt heavier in his heart-he hadn’t gained any advantage.

Su Changkong practiced Turtle Breath Shrinkage, altering his bone structure, his appearance that of a young man, which still shocked Cao Hong. Such a young age with such cultivation was rare even outside the Clearwater City region!

“He… he1 s really that mysterious martial artist who impersonated a White Jade Gang disciple and chopped down Shi Hanshan?

Yu Jiao was at this moment watching the scene unfold in shock. Facing off against Cao Hong and not falling behind in the least showed that the black- clothed young man was also a Divine Bravery Stage strongman!

Yu Jiao had just revealed Su Changkong’s hiding place in a desperate bid for a slim chance at survival, never expecting that this passerby held the true identity of a mysterious martial artist that even the White Jade Gang had struggled to investigate! This was a strongman with Body Refinement Great Achievement, a rarity even across the entire Clearwater City region!

“You go deal with that woman, kill her directly, don’t hold back! Leave this lad to me!” Cao Hong ordered in a deep voice, his eyes heavy with determination but also excitement, his hunter’s spirit awakened. At his level, finding an opponent in the Clearwater City area was difficult, so confronting such a formidable enemy made his blood as a martial artist begin to boil.

“Yes!”

The remaining Black Cavalry Gang martial artists, upon hearing this, were relieved and responded in unison.

Su Changkong was too terrifying, eliminating four or five of their people in the blink of an eye. The chance to not have to face this fearsome martial artist was undoubtedly a relief for them.

“You want to kill me? Then come and try!”

With the strongest, Cao Hong, confronting Su Changkong, this reignited hope in the previously despairing Yu Jiao. Her lovely face took on a murderous edge as she drew a shining curved saber from her waist and started to counterattack against the Black Cavalry Gang martial artists rushing toward her.

The rest of the Black Cavalry Gang members attacked Yu Jiao while Su Changkong faced off against Cao Hong.

Looking at Su Changkong, Cao Hong sighed and said, “It’s a pity… you killed my big brother’s only son, so I have no choice but to take your head!”
