Chapter 144: Chapter 85: Tortoise Breath Water Arrow! Fierce Tiger Rips Corpse!_1

The black-clad man was around forty, with a pair of triangular eyes resembling those of a snake.

Although Su Changkong had not seen the man’s true face before, he could tell from the voice that this black-clad person was the same one who had visited his residence twice in the past few days, threatening him!

“You… how did you get here?”

Su Changkong appeared panic-stricken, but in reality, he had long been aware of someone following him at a distance. As expected, he feigned escape to draw the follower out, also to check if there were others!

The black-clad man couldn’t help laughing upon seeing this scene, “What do you think? I told you to purposely fail the alchemy, you didn’t do it, I told you to poison the Pill Medicine, you didn’t do it either, do you really think we’re saints and virgins?”

He laughed, but his laughter was cold. He had previously been confident that he had intimidated Su Changkong sufficiently that Su would obediently follow orders, becoming an Alchemist tool at their disposal, but it turned out Su hadn’t taken their words seriously at all.

This was undoubtedly a loss of face for him in front of Meng Sang. Not to mention the Giant Whale Divine Intent Picture they had lost last time, which had already caused him to be unable to raise his head around Meng Sang.

Now, the black-clad man had taken the initiative to ask Meng Sang for this task, also to vent his own anger. He intended to personally take action, to make Su Changkong pay the most severe price!

“Remember, my name is Li Lie, and I will make you suffer a miserable death! I will make you wail and beg for mercy, regretting that you defied my orders! I will make you die a worse death than that old bastard Gong Zheng!”

The black-clad man Li Lie grinned, his eyes flashing with ferocity. From the moment he realized that Su Changkong had fooled him, he had thought of countless ways to torment this young man!

Li Lie, Su Changkong had heard the name; he was the Deputy Hall Leader of the Fire Whale Hall.

Within the Giant Whale Gang, the highest ranks were held by the Gang Leader and Deputy Gang Leader, followed by the leaders of the four halls of Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Lightning. Each hall had three to five deputy leaders. As a Deputy Hall Leader of the Fire Whale Hall, Li Lie was indeed an influential figure in the Giant Whale Gang!

Upon hearing Li Lie’s threat, the look of fear on Su Changkong’s face disappeared, replaced by a curving smirk. He couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “Hahaha!”

His laughter grew louder and wilder, causing Li Lie’s eyebrows to furrow unconsciously and a chill to flicker in his eyes, “Kid, what are you laughing at? Have you lost your mind?”

Li Lie had been sure no one else had followed Su Changkong, yet now, confronted with this situation, Su Changkong still managed to laugh?

“I’m laughing at you, you fool… After losing the Giant Whale Divine Intent Picture that day, you must’ve been scolded quite a bit by Meng Sang, right?”

Su Changkong was still laughing, but his smile was cold and dangerous. The killing intent within it made Li Lie’s pupils shrink.

“What?”

Upon hearing Su Changkong’s words, Li Lie was completely stunned.

Li Lie was one of the three Martial Artists who had set fire to the Xuanwu Pavilion that night, and he had stolen the Giant Whale Divine Intent Picture from the Pavilion. He had handed it over to Liu Geng on the way, and thereafter distracted the pursuing Giant Whale Gang Disciples. Pleased with himself, he was, however, later scolded by Meng Sang.

Because as soon as he had left, someone had knocked Liu Geng unconscious and taken the Giant Whale Divine Intent Picture. That person had clearly followed him!

Both Li Lie and Meng Sang suspected that it must have been one of the Hall Leaders who had the capability to follow Li Lie without being noticed.

Su Changkong, an Alchemist, shouldn’t have been aware of these details, but he had precisely mentioned the incident of the Giant Whale Divine Intent Picture from that night, suddenly causing an expression of disbelief to appear on Li Lie’s face, “You… It was you who took the Giant Whale Divine Intent Picture?”

The one who took the Giant Whale Divine Intent Picture wasn’t one of the Hall Leaders, but the young man standing before him? This was impossible!

But Su Changkong had no intention of wasting more words on Li Lie. Li Lie had strong killing intentions towards Su Changkong, and Su Changkong felt the same towards Li Lie.

Not just because Li Lie had intruded into his room twice in the past few days, imperiously forcing him to sabotage the alchemy process, Su Changkong also learned from his mouth that the death of Gong Zheng had been by his own hands!

Not only had he killed Gong Zheng, but he had done so with extreme cruelty, plucking out his heart and tearing off his head! And boasted proudly about it to him as a threat!

Upon realizing how pitifully Gong Zheng, a person who had shown him kindness, had been killed, Su Changkong’s killing intention had peaked, but he had forcefully controlled it. Now, far from the reach of the Giant Whale Gang, Su Changkong could no longer restrain the killing intent in his heart. He wanted Li Lie to die, and to die wailing in agony!

“Roar!”

All of a sudden, Su Changkong opened his mouth. The Turtle Breathing True Qi within him had been fermenting, and with a roar, the surrounding trees rustled and leaves scattered. A sea-blue True Qi as thick as an infant’s arm spurted out, resembling an arrow, a spear.

Su Changkong’s Turtle Breath Technique had reached the 8th realm, equivalent to the power that ordinary people would achieve after decades, nearly a century of hard cultivation. The robustness of his True Qi had even reached the upper limit his current body could withstand!

Now, filled with killing intent, he turned his breath into an arrow, directly targeting Li Lie’s chest!

“This kid… he has such rich True Qi?”

Li Lie was shocked to his core. The strong Qi arrow shot towards him, tearing through the air, producing a series of screeching noises as it tore through the air, inherently unbelievable that a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old could achieve such a level.

“Ah!”

Although Li Lie was astounded, his actions were not slow. Unable to avoid the Qi arrow breaking the sound barrier, he let out an angry shout. His Qi and Blood surged violently, erupting from his pores in layers of blood-colored mist, forming a blood-hued sheer surrounding his body, his arms crossed protectively in front of him!
