The crowd parted to create a path, and Du Zhen, followed by several black- robed monks, passed through on their way out of Ginseng Town.
As he moved through the crowd, the gentle smile on Du Zhen’s face vanished, replaced by an expressionless visage, “Chase him! He’s been hit by my Piercing Cloud Palm; he won’t get far!”
In reality, with Du Zhen’s strength, a full-power palm strike was enough to kill Yan Song on the spot or severely injure him. However, he had restrained himself from killing in front of an audience, which would damage his cultivated image.
Now that Du Zhen was leaving with his men, he obviously wasn’t concerned for
Yan Song’s safety as he had implied. He was determined to pursue and exterminate him!
“I’d like to see who dares to oppose the Black Lotus Sect!”
A cold light flickered in Du Zhen’s eyes.
“Damn it… this bald rascal has not only reached the Divine Strength Realm, his Inner Strength cultivation is also extremely notable, very powerful even among those in the Divine Strength Realm, much stronger than me by more than a
little…”
Yan Song was currently forcing himself to keep moving, despite his injuries, having fled several miles outside of Ginseng Town. He was weaving through a forest, gasping for breath, and feeling waves of darkness before his eyes. Hit by Du Zhen’s palm, he had relied on his peak Internal Strength cultivation and a breath of True Qi to prevent himself from collapsing.
“Benefactor, I am not some demon. Is there a need to run so urgently?”
At this moment, an aged voice sounded from behind, causing Yan Song s complexion to change drastically.
Behind him, Du Zhen and four or five other monks had already caught up. Yan
Song, heavily injured, couldn’t run fast.
Yan Song stopped running. Clutching the long knife at his waist, he prepared for battle, though he could barely stand upright.
“You think you can offend the master and leave?”
The monks subtly formed a circle around Yan Song, trapping him. Each one’s face bore a malevolent smile.
With curiosity, Du Zhen inquired, “This benefactor seems unfamiliar. Do I have any grudge with you?”
By then, Yan Song, who had been running frantically, had already removed his mask to breathe, revealing his true face.
In response to Du Zhen’s question, Yan Song sneered, “You think I would tell you?”
Revealing any grudge to Du Zhen would likely lead to him wiping out the problem at its root, endangering Yan Song’s friends and family.
Hearing this, Du Zhen did not press further, but smiled gently, “Benefactor, it s not that I must kill you. Swallow this pill, and I will help heal your wounds.”
Du Zhen flipped his hand and produced a black pill from his robes.
Yan Song’s eyes narrowed as he gritted his teeth, “You bald donkey… are truly venomous!”
Yan Song was not a fool; he understood the pill was most likely a Poison Pill. If he ingested it, he would be subject to lifelong manipulation!
Yan Song tightened his grip on the knife, preferring to fight to the death, dragging one or two of his adversaries with him!
“Stubborn fool!”
Du Zhen sighed, his gaze becoming icy cold.
“Brother Yan, it seems you’ve run into some trouble!”
At that moment, another voice rang out, causing both parties to pause in surprise.
Under a large tree, a young man of average height, with narrow eyes and a somewhat cold demeanor, stepped forward. It was none other than Su Changkong!
Su Changkong had witnessed everything that had occurred in Ginseng Town today and recognized Yan Song’s identity. Upon seeing Yan Song badly wounded and fleeing, with Du Zhen and the monks in pursuit, he hesitated briefly before following.
Su Changkong had come, firstly to find out about the Black Lotus Sect’s affairs and secondly, he was even more eager to know if the poisoning incident at Black Iron Manor, which had caused a great upheaval, was the deed of the Black
Lotus Sect!
“Indeed, the previously mentioned Zhao Qing was a member of the Black Lotus Sect.”
Having been there for a while, Su Changkong had been secretly observing the standoff between the two parties. He saw the black pill medicine Du Zhen took out, which was the same poison pill found on Zhao Qing earlier. It was what the Black Lotus Sect used to control its members.
“Brother Wen?”
The sudden appearance of Su Changkong unmistakably left Yan Song stunned; he hadn’t expected Su Changkong to show up here!
When Du Zhen’s gaze flickered toward Su Changkong, he said, Young man, who are you? I advise you not to meddle in others’ business and stay away!” Su Changkong inwardly shook his head. After he revealed himself, it became impossible for Du Zhen, with his ruthless nature, to let him leave.
“Are you a member of the Black Lotus Sect? The recent plague in the vicinity of Clearwater City was also your doing, wasn’t it?”
Without beating around the bush, Su Changkong directly asked.
As soon as he spoke, Yan Song was taken aback. He knew about the recent spread of a plague in Clearwater City that had caused no small number of deaths and injuries, yet Su Changkong’s words seemed to suggest he believed this plague was deliberately propagated by the Black Lotus Sect!
In response to Su Changkong’s question, the previously faintly amiable expression on Du Zhen’s face disappeared, turning into sheer coldness.
“Young man… words can bring disaster upon you. It seems that I cannot allow you to leave alive!” Du Zhen stared at Su Changkong, the coldness in his eyes was no longer concealed, and Su Changkong’s words had evidently provoked a killing intent in Du Zhen!
“Be careful! This old villain has very high martial arts skills! Not only has he reached the Divine Strength Realm, his inner strength cultivation is even higher than mine!”
Yan Song immediately shouted out a warning, aware that Su Changkong was strong but still uncertain about the outcome when facing this powerful demon monk from the Black Lotus Sect who was formidable even among those in the Divine Strength Realm.
Su Changkong’s words had clearly touched a nerve in Du Zhen, his eyes brimming with murderous intent, and he was unwilling to let Su Changkong leave alive!
Du Zhen’s reaction confirmed the suspicions in Su Changkong s mind, the plague within the territory of Clearwater City, including the poisoning of the water source at Black Iron Manor, was not accidental, but orchestrated, and most likely by the Black Lotus Sect!
Recalling several people in Black Iron Manor who had died painfully without apparently doing anything, Su Changkong’s own killing intent was boiling. If it wasn’t for his diligent practice of martial arts, he might have fallen victim and died in despair as well.
“Chop!”
Du Zhen, not knowing the identity of the young man in black before him, had already decided to kill Su Changkong. He uttered a slight reproach, and with a pull of his hands, he took off a string of prayer beads from around his neck.
Whizz, whizz, whizz!
Du Zhen’s robust True Qi was infused into the prayer beads. With a forceful push of his hands, the string of prayer beads scattered in all directions, shooting towards Su Changkong like bullets, the powerful wind they carried tearing through the air with a piercing whistling sound!
In order to kill the young man who seemed to know something, Du Zhen had pushed his True Qi to its peak from the moment he made his move, using his deadliest technique in the hope of not giving Su Changkong any chance of survival!
Each prayer bead, fueled by Du Zhen’s True Qi, could penetrate bone and tear flesh, and it moved at speeds beyond the limits of ordinary human reaction.
But to Su Changkong, the trajectory of each prayer bead was visibly clear.
Five Animal Frolics, Penetrating Forest Deer!
As the prayer beads approached, Su Changkong didn’t retreat but moved forward instead, his body rushing while slightly swaying, showcasing a beauty of motion, like a Spirit Deer running through the forest, untouched by a single leaf!
The seemingly insignificant swaying allowed Su Changkong to dodge the prayer beads shooting towards him, each missing him by a hair’s breadth!
“Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft!”
Amidst a series of tearing sounds, the prayer beads hit the trees behind Su Changkong, each one bursting with immense power and leaving fist-sized holes in the trunks, which made it imaginable what kind of horrific damage they would inflict if they hit a body of flesh and blood!
