Chapter 281: Forcing Their Way In
Chapter 281: Forcing Their Way In
"Murder! Murder!"
The shouts echoed throughout the entire street.
The Iron Fist Gang stationed here also heard the commotion.
As the "owners" of this street, they naturally wouldn't sit idly by while someone caused trouble in their territory.
Soon, over a dozen gang members carrying machetes rushed to the scene.
The wide street was in disarray, with hardly any people in sight. However, several corpses dressed in white lay on the ground, standing out starkly.
As they approached and got a clear view, everyone gasped in shock.
The deaths were truly gruesome.
Wait, these dead people seemed to be from the Dragonstride Martial Arts Academy!
Instantly, everyone's faces changed.
Who had the audacity to do this? You must know that even the Iron Fist Gang wouldn't dare to openly cause trouble with the three martial arts academies on this street, let alone murder in broad daylight, under the watchful eyes of so many people.
The crowd dared not delay, nor did they dare to touch the corpses on the ground. One of them took out a phone and dialed a number.
"Brother Chao, something terrible has happened!"
As soon as the call connected, the man frantically exclaimed, "Someone is killing people on the street, and they're killing members of the Dragonstride Martial Arts Academy!"
"What?!"
Li Chao was taken aback.
"Are you sure?"
"Brother Chao, I'm certain. I'm at the scene right now, and there are several corpses on the ground, all wearing Dragonstride Martial Arts Academy uniforms. And one of them, you know him too."
"Who?"
"The third disciple of the Dragonstride Martial Arts Academy's master, Fang Shaopeng."
"What?!"
Li Chao stood up from the meditation cushion upon hearing this.
After the two men sent by the gang encountered trouble, he received orders to come here.
Although he was alone, his strength was that of a Second Level Force Warrior. Even if the previous two had attacked together, they wouldn't be his match.
Fang Shaopeng's strength was also at the Second Level. Since they had never truly fought, he wasn't clear about the other's abilities.
However, it was undeniable that if he wanted to kill the other party, he would have to resort to an ambush; otherwise, he would pay a heavy price himself.
"How did they die? Who is the murderer?"
"They were held down by the head and smashed onto the ground, their heads almost completely shattered. The murderer, from what I heard, is a middle-aged man carrying a knife. I don't know where he went."
"A middle-aged man carrying a knife?"
Li Chao's expression turned even more horrified.
Even his voice trembled as he spoke.
"You, you said he was carrying a knife?"
"Er, I heard it from someone who escaped. It should be right."
"Forget it, hurry back with your men."
Li Chao took a deep breath.
"The situation here is too complex for us to get involved."
"Yes, Brother Chao."
The man nodded repeatedly.
He wasn't stupid; even his subordinates sensed that this matter wasn't simple, so how could he not realize it?
"Hmm, don't touch those corpses, and don't notify the Dragonstride Martial Arts Academy. In any case, let them handle their own affairs. Hmph."
Li Chao snorted coldly.
"Perhaps, this time, it's also an opportunity for us."
"Brother Chao, what do you mean?"
The man asked tentatively.
"It might be too early to say anything now. Let's wait and see how things develop. By the way, send someone to keep an eye on the Dragonstride Martial Arts Academy's movements. My intuition tells me that something big is about to happen."
"Okay."
Li Chao hung up the call, a smile curling on his lips.
To be honest, he had long been annoyed by the three martial arts academies on the street.
Because of their existence, how much less money would the Iron Fist Gang collect in a month? If someone were to eliminate them all, wouldn't the ultimate beneficiary be the Iron Fist Gang? The more money they collect, the more they can purchase cultivation resources to enhance their strength.
...
"Falcon Martial Academy."
Jiang Cheng looked up at the large characters on the rooftop.
If it weren't for Xiao Yuanqing's betrayal, he might still be in the slums, living a peaceful life.
Selling roasted sweet potatoes during the day and returning to cultivate at night, his cultivation speed might not be as fast as it is now, but the danger level would certainly be much lower.
Jiang Cheng couldn't decide which was better or worse.
However, one conclusion was clear: Xiao Yuanqing must die today.
The next moment, Jiang Cheng jumped lightly, leaping over the gate and past the stunned gazes of the first-floor members. He climbed the stairs and headed towards the second floor, ignoring the woman at the front desk shouting after him.
"Zhao Senior Apprentice! It's bad! Someone has broken in!"
The woman quickly called Zhao Xiangyu.
In reality, she didn't need to notify him; Zhao Xiangyu, who was on the second floor instructing advanced members, had already spotted the figure with a blade on his back.
"Friend!"
He quickly abandoned the crowd and approached Jiang Cheng, stopping five meters away.
He clasped his fists in greeting.
"Friend, this is the Falcon Martial Academy. Please do not intrude without permission, or don't blame us for being impolite."
Jiang Cheng looked at him.
His gaze moved past him, and he saw some familiar faces behind him.
For example, Lin Quanliang, Tan Lei, Sun Xiaoli, and others.
But at this moment, their eyes were filled with vigilance.
"I'm here to find Xiao Yuanqing, and I'll naturally leave once I find him."
"Xiao Senior Apprentice?"
Lin Quanliang and the others exchanged glances, whispering softly.
Zhao Xiangyu, upon hearing Jiang Cheng speak, breathed a slight sigh of relief.
This person seemed capable of communication, and that was good.
"Friend, I don't know why you're looking for Xiao Senior Apprentice, but if it's something important, I can pass on the message. However, I ask that you also respect our academy and refrain from intruding without permission."
"To take his dog's life."
Everyone, including Zhao Xiangyu, froze, almost unable to believe their ears.
This person had come to kill Xiao Senior Apprentice.
This was the Falcon Martial Academy!
"You heard correctly."
Jiang Cheng spoke again: "I'm here to kill Xiao Yuanqing, that beast."
