“Then I shall take my leave now, and if there’s any disturbance that requires your intervention, I will have Di Hen contact you.”
Having settled affairs, Pei Yang rose to leave.
Only Su Changkong remained in the manor.
“Agreeing to take part in a blood battle between two parties is undoubtedly dangerous. However, if Hong Zhenxiang managed to eliminate foes during the last blood battle with the Ferocious Wolf Clan, I naturally can too!”
Su Changkong thought to himself.
Su Changkong’s current strength was by no means inferior to Hong Zhenxiang’s past prowess, not to mention he still had considerable potential for growth. As long as he possessed great strength, he would be able to handle any kind of danger!
Of course, what mainly moved him was the reward offered by Pei Yang, especially the Pill Recipe of the Monster Life Pill, which could extend one’s lifespan. Who could get the best rewards without putting forth any effort? Could such good things really come so easily?
Having agreed to the deal with Pei Yang, Su Changkong began a quiet wait. Pei Yang coming to find him at this time meant that the blood battle with the Ferocious Wolf Clan was about to commence, and Su Changkong needed to use the spare time to intensively train.
“I must advance my Guiding Technique to the 8th Realm as quickly as possible!”
Su Changkong’s main focus remained on the Guiding Technique, which still had room for progress. Given enough time, breaking through to the 8th Realm would be just a matter of course!
Through practicing the Guiding Technique, Su Changkong increasingly sensed the omnipresent Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth. Unfortunately, sensing was useless as he, not having an Innate Body, had no right to refine Spiritual Energy!
Time swiftly moved on, and two days later arrived.
Early in the morning of that day, Di Hen came to the manor where Su Changkong resided and knocked on the manor’s gate.
“Mr. Su, I believe it’s time for you to take action,” Di Hen said with the utmost respect.
“Hmm, tell me the details,” Su Changkong nodded slightly.
Di Hen became extremely serious as he spoke, “Three to four days ago, from within Sunset Plains, a group of Martial Artists from the Ferocious Wolf Clan crossed the plains and went into hiding near Dafeng State City. Each of these Barbarian Martial Artists is an elite. Our estimate is that they plan to wreak havoc on the small towns and counties surrounding Dafeng State City.”
Nearly half of Dafeng Iron Cavalry’s forces were stationed in Sunset Plains. Given the plains’ vastness, it was naturally impossible to guard them without any oversights, especially against some of the highly capable Barbarian Martial Artists who could potentially get past the checkpoints.
A squad composed entirely of Barbarian Martial Artists had infiltrated the vicinity of Dafeng State City. Their aim was to sabotage and thereby demoralize Dafeng Iron Cavalry’s morale and create chaos!
Such a squad, made up of elite Barbarian Martial Artists, would have a significant destructive impact. They could cause destruction in one place and then meld away into hiding, impossible to find, presenting a considerable threat!
Di Hen came to Su Changkong on Pei Yang’s orders. According to Pei Yang’s intention, they planned for Su Changkong to assume the appearance of Hong Zhenxiang and patrol potential targets of Barbarian Martial Artist attacks in the small towns and counties.
“Fine, give me a moment.”
Su Changkong nodded in agreement. He was always decisive in his actions. Having promised to make the deal with Pei Yang, he would do his utmost!
Back in his room in the manor, Su Changkong quickly began dressing up. He took a deep breath, performing the “Long Whale Inhales Water” from the Whale Five Skills, allowing the air to flow into his body, enlarging his frame slightly to resemble that of Hong Zhenxiang.
Then, using the Turtle Breath Bone Changing technique, he altered the structure of his facial bones and took out some materials for disguise, proceeding with his transformation.
Before long, Su Changkong re-emerged from the room, leaving Di Hen, who was waiting inside the manor, somewhat dumbstruck: “Commander Hong…?”
The one who stepped out from the room was vastly altered in appearance, with bronze skin and rugged features, emitting the formidable aura of a Martial Artist. If not Hong Zhenxiang, then who could it be?
“Mr. Su’s Disguise Technique… is too perfect!”
Di Hen could not help but express his amazement. As a confidant of Hong Zhenxiang, even he couldn’t spot any flaws in the ‘Hong Zhenxiang’ before him.
“Let’s go.”
Su Changkong, mimicking the deep, steady voice of Hong Zhenxiang, spoke to Di Hen.
“Yes!”
Di Hen nodded immediately.
Su Changkong and Di Hen left Dafeng State City.
According to intelligence, the elite squad from the Barbarians that had infiltrated Dafeng State would most likely attack some small towns and counties. Although it was unpredictable which towns they would target,
excluding the towns with a large number of Iron Riders stationed, the scope could be narrowed down considerably!Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Now, Su Changkong’s task was to patrol between these vulnerable small towns. Should the elite group of Barbarians strike, he would be able to respond immediately. And with some luck, he might be in a town when they initiated their attack, which would minimize the damages!
Facing such an entirely elite group of concealed Barbarian Martial Artists, there really was no better strategy than to wait for them to make the first move and reveal their whereabouts before responding!
“Commander Hong, let’s head to Yuanmu County City first,”
Di Hen by his side unfolded a map, glanced at the route, and suggested to Su Changkong.
Di Hen, as a close confidant of Hong Zhenxiang, was the best assistant for Su Changkong in dealing with others. Su Changkong, of course, had no objections to this and nodded.
Yuanmu County City, a small county town close to Dafeng State City, became the destination for Su Changkong and Di Hen.
However, the county town was bustling with people, exuding an atmosphere of peace, with no trace of Barbarian Martial Artists to be found.
What do you think?
