The Martial Saint of Humanity, I Have Transformed Low-Level Martial Arts Into Immortal Martial Arts - Chapter 55

Chapter 55: Unwelcome Guests! Killing Like Chopped Straw!

“Did… did he just crush Liu Yutao to death? No matter what, he’s at the level of Second Forging Bones!”

The remaining two stared in shock at the slender figure’s discarded corpse, their bodies trembling as they began to realize that this young man before them might be the most deeply hidden, and terrifying, figure in the Forging Weaponry Workshop! He had effortlessly killed a Martial Artist at the Second Forging Bones level!

“I’ll ask you only once more—who is your employer behind you?”

Su Hao’s gaze locked onto the Cold Man, his tone calm, yet to the Cold Man, it sounded like a chilling wind howling, sending shivers down his spine.

The Cold Man was under immense pressure; however, gritting his teeth, he made a choice befitting a Martial Artist facing overwhelming odds—he drew his sword, choosing to strike first, with no thought of retreat!

“Swish!”

The long sword at his waist whistled fiercely. The Cold Man and his sword merged as one; in a flash, the tip of the sword glimmered coldly and aimed directly for Su Hao’s neck.

Yet, in response to this stunning strike, Su Hao remained standing still, unmoving.

“Whoosh!”

The long sword passed through Su Hao’s neck, but there was no sensation of impact; it was merely piercing through an afterimage, as Su Hao’s speed was so extraordinary that even a Martial Artist at the Forging Bones level could not capture it!

“Spare me…”

The Cold Man felt a chill run down his spine, realizing he was facing an opponent he couldn’t possibly challenge. He wanted to beg for mercy, but before he could even cry out, Su Hao swung his arm, bringing down an overwhelming force as if a massive iron pillar were crashing onto the Cold Man’s chest.

“Crack crack crack!”

Bones shattered, the chest caved in, and blood spurted from the Cold Man’s mouth as he was sent flying to the ground, his body contorted, blood mingling with fragmented organs pouring out!

The Cold Man’s eyes widened in horror; in his perception, he felt like a lamb struck by a mighty beast, with no room to resist at all, left gravely injured and on the brink of death!

Easily dealing with the two men, Su Hao looked at the last tall figure and said coolly, “You’re the only one left. If you want to be stubborn, I won’t let you die as easily as those two did.”

The tall man’s hair stood on end as he realized that Su Hao had dispatched his two companions with the ease of crushing two ants, showing little emotional fluctuation—this was undoubtedly a ruthless killer with many lives on his hands!

“Damn it… Didn’t they say he was just a skilled blacksmith? He’s completely a brutal murderer!”

The tall man cursed internally, thinking that it was supposed to be an easy task. Who would have thought that a seemingly harmless young blacksmith would hide such terrifying strength? Killing a Forging Bones Martial Artist was no different from slaughtering an ordinary civilian; it was all just casual extermination!

The tall man didn’t dare to escape, scream, or resist. He felt a terrible aura locking onto him; if he made any move, he would meet the same fate as his companions.

Forcing a smile, the tall man hurriedly said, “Master Su… I’m just acting on orders. It’s the owner of Wu Family Villa who sent us to ‘invite’ some skilled blacksmiths to their manor.”

Desperate for a chance at survival, the tall man didn’t dare to haggle, directly putting forth the employer behind them. If it weren’t for the flawed information given by that employer, they wouldn’t have ended up in such a perilous situation; why would they rather die than reveal it?

“Wu Family Villa?”

At these words, Su Hao frowned slightly. He had heard a bit about Wu Family Villa, located outside Evergreen City. The owner, Wu Yannian, had a good reputation; it was said that he often donated to refugees who couldn’t afford meals and was even called Wu the Good Man.

However, judging by the tall man’s demeanor, he didn’t appear to be lying.

“Wu Family Villa? What do they want you to capture blacksmiths for?” Su Hao pressed on.

“I… don’t know.”The tall man said, seeing Su Hao’s eyes turn cold, he hurriedly waved his hands and replied, “I really don’t know… We three were just working for the money, and we didn’t question Wu Yannian’s purpose.”

The tall man was indeed not lying; they were ordered to capture skilled blacksmiths and deliver them to Wu Family Villa, without prying too much into the specifics.

“The previous blacksmiths… were not in any danger to their lives, they should all be at Wu Family Villa now. We were just doing our jobs for a fee; all the money is on me—five hundred taels in total, I can give it all to you, I hope you will show mercy and spare my life…”

The tall man begged repeatedly, stating he could use all the money he had to buy his way out. By obediently telling Su Hao everything, he hoped that Su Hao would be lenient.

Su Hao slightly nodded, which made the tall man feel a bit relieved.

“Pfft!”

But in the next moment, without any warning, Su Hao’s figure flashed and appeared in front of the tall man. He tapped the man’s forehead with the index and middle fingers of his right hand. There was a light sound, and the tall man’s brain was penetrated by the force of the tap. His eyes widened, and he opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. His body collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

“Using my money to buy your life? You’re dreaming!”

Looking at the tall man’s lifeless body on the ground, Su Hao snorted coldly, knowing he couldn’t let the man off.

Su Hao rummaged through the bodies of the three men and, sure enough, from the tall man, he found a silver note worth five hundred taels!

Five hundred taels was not a small amount. It was worth noting that Su Hao was proficient in forging, and his forging skills were outstanding, but he only made about forty to fifty taels a month at most. To earn five hundred taels would take him a hard year of work.

However, killing these three men only took a few minutes, and he gained an amount equivalent to working a whole year. Taking the crooked path never leads far and carries great risks, but it certainly can bring quick rewards!

“I need to deal with their bodies. Moreover… it seems I’ll have to pay a visit to Wu Family Villa; otherwise, my identity is definitely going to be exposed.”

As Su Hao carried the three bodies and tossed them out into the wilderness outside the city, he also pondered internally. Wu Family Villa was somehow targeting blacksmiths, and Chen Yuan Zheng and the others had gone missing—presumably caught and taken there.

Chen Yuan Zheng and the others had a good relationship with him; he wasn’t heartless enough to stand by and do nothing in this situation.

Secondly, the fact that these three men were sent by Wu Family Villa to capture him and had not returned for a long time meant that Wu Family Villa must have realized something was wrong. Su Hao could no longer remain hidden; it was difficult for someone like him, who always preferred to be low-key and cautious, to accept this reality!

Thus, taking the initiative to investigate Wu Family Villa, deal with the trouble, and rescue Chen Yuan Zheng and the others became the best solution.

“Sigh… Wu Family Villa, if you seek death, then I’ll grant it to you!”

Cold killing intent flickered in Su Hao’s eyes. He had always believed in the principle of “if others don’t offend me, I won’t offend them.” If it weren’t for his strong enough abilities to kill the three Martial Artists hired by Wu Family Villa, falling into their hands would undoubtedly lead to a fate where his life and death were no longer in his control, and the outcome would likely not be good!

Since Wu Family Villa dared to provoke him, whether for self-preservation or revenge, Su Hao could not react without any thought!
