The Martial Saint of Humanity, I Have Transformed Low-Level Martial Arts Into Immortal Martial Arts - Chapter 80

Chapter 80: Flood Dragon Snake Muscle-Nourishing Soup! Renowned Far and Wide!

“Yes, yes, yes… Mr. Wen, I was ordered to follow you; it’s all Zhang Yuquan’s doing.” Yuan Feng was the first to respond, nodding repeatedly. The Purple-Clad Swordsman also, dragging his injured body, deeply bowed to Su Hao, saying, “Mr. Wen, Zhang Yuquan is my direct superior, and we were acting on orders. We harbor no enmity with you, so I hope you can forgive us.”

Long Chen directly expressed his willingness to give the recipe for the Transforming Tendon Elixir to Su Hao as compensation. However, Su Hao replied calmly, “The fact remains that they wanted to kill me, so they must pay with their lives! If I hadn’t been stronger than them, I would have been the one dead, and simply blaming Zhang Yuquan would not absolve them of their guilt!”

Long Chen frowned slightly and sighed, “Brother Wen, they are ultimately members of my Dragon Spring Gang. I cannot turn a blind eye to their demise. I hope you can spare their lives; if you have other demands, feel free to state them, as long as they are within my capacity to fulfill.”

Long Chen was willing to offer compensation in exchange for Yuan Feng and the others’ lives!

“The Gang Master’s willingness to bow and compensate stems from his fear of Wen Tailai’s power…” Yuan Feng and the others understood well that Long Chen was not someone to simply yield or reason with; it was purely because of Wen Tailai’s unfathomable strength!

Having just endured a blow from both Zhang Yuquan and Su Hao, Long Chen could assess that Su Hao’s punch had just enough power to shatter Zhang Yuquan without necessarily killing him on the spot.

To hold back during a fight while maintaining such precise control over his strength indicated that Su Hao was exceptionally skilled; his true power was likely far greater than what he had displayed!

Long Chen was confident in his own abilities, but without knowing the enemy’s true nature, engaging in a deadly encounter carried risks. Since he had no personal vendetta against Su Hao and the trouble had originated from Zhang Yuquan, he naturally was unwilling to engage in a life-or-death battle with Su Hao!

Su Hao, however, was not insistent on confronting Long Chen. He, himself, responded better to a softer approach. Long Chen had treated him very well and was willing to offer compensation; after all, the martial world wasn’t just about fighting and killing.

Without further ado, Su Hao stated his demands: “In addition to the recipe for the Transforming Tendon Elixir, I want one initiated level martial art from each of these four individuals in exchange for their lives.”

Su Hao’s potential was already on the brink of transformation, and he needed to cultivate more initiated level martial arts to enhance his abilities. He directly proposed the exchange of each person’s life for an initiated level martial art, meaning that from the four Transforming Tendon martial artists, he would receive four initiated level martial arts!

Typically, a single initiated level martial art could serve as the foundational asset for a sect or clan, and would never be easily shared.

But Long Chen readily nodded in agreement, saying, “Alright, as long as it doesn’t spread outside, the four initiated level martial arts you need can be provided for Brother Wen!”

The negotiation went relatively smoothly; Long Chen personally killed Zhang Yuquan and offered the recipe for the Transforming Tendon Elixir, along with four Lower Grade martial arts, to resolve the conflict between Su Hao and the Dragon Spring Gang.

“Hmm?”

At this moment, Su Hao slightly furrowed his brow, sensing a gaze filled with hatred directed at him. Following the direction of that gaze, he saw the Green-Clad Woman.

She was the only female elder in the Dragon Spring Gang and had taken the lead during the earlier attack on Su Hao. Now, her face was full of resentment and bitterness.

“Why do you hate me?”

Su Hao looked at her expressionless.

The Green-Clad Woman gritted her teeth, filled with hatred as she said, “It’s you… who killed Zhang Yuquan! I only resent my own lack of power… I can’t avenge him.”

Understanding her feelings, Su Hao realized that the Green-Clad Woman had a close relationship with Zhang Yuquan. In her eyes, even though Zhang Yuquan was killed by Long Chen, the root cause still lay with Su Hao, which fueled her anger toward him.

Long Chen immediately interjected, “Zhao Qing is Zhang Yuquan’s sworn sister… I will talk to her later; Mr. Wen, please don’t hold it against her…”

“Pffft!”

But as soon as Long Chen finished speaking, Su Hao kicked with his toe, sending a long knife left behind by a Dragon Spring Gang disciple flying directly at the Green-Clad Woman’s chest, piercing her heart and exiting from her back.

Blood poured from her mouth, and the resentment on her face froze as she slumped softly to the ground.

The others watched this scene with pale faces, yet none dared to express their dissatisfaction.

Su Hao calmly said to Long Chen, “I have spared her life; since she wishes to accompany Zhang Yuquan, I’m just being kind to fulfill her wish!”

The Green-Clad Woman and Zhang Yuquan shared an extraordinary bond, and despite Su Hao sparing her, she still harbored immense resentment toward him. Su Hao didn’t believe she posed a threat, but for enemies filled with hatred against him, he held no distinction between male and female; they all had to die!

Long Chen, seeing this, secretly sighed, but he said nothing further and simply remarked, “Brother Wen, please wait a moment; I will have someone fetch what you desire.”

“Hmm.”

Su Hao nodded silently.

“Yuan Feng, go quickly.”

Long Chen instructed Yuan Feng.

“Yes.”

Yuan Feng replied eagerly and hurried away, not daring to delay.

With Yuan Feng’s agility and Lightness Art, he returned to Spring Moon House in less than half an hour, bringing the items Su Hao requested.

Inside a wooden box lay a scroll and four Martial Arts Secret Books, which he respectfully handed to Su Hao.

Su Hao didn’t examine them closely; with his experience and insight, he could spot fakes whether it was a prescription or a secret book.

Moreover, Su Hao believed that Long Chen wanted to resolve their grievances and wouldn’t be foolish enough to tamper with the prescription or the books!

“Master Long, since that’s the case, the grievances between me and the Dragon Spring Gang end here. If the Dragon Spring Gang no longer troubles me, I will not seek out trouble with you either. Farewell!”

Having accepted the items, Su Hao said this to Long Chen and then departed.

With Su Hao leaving behind a scene of chaos, naturally, no one dared to stop him.

Long Chen stood where he was, a complex expression flashing across his face: “This Wen Tailai is indeed extraordinary… On the surface, he looks to be only in his thirties or forties, a formidable youth. In a decade or two, Evergreen County might have another Cleansing Marrow Martial Artist.”

A figure like this should not be made an enemy; if they did, one would have to use every means necessary to eliminate them. Fortunately, both sides seemed to have successfully resolved their conflicts.

Long Chen was unaware that Su Hao was actually only in his early twenties!

“The damages will be compensated by our Dragon Spring Gang as usual.”

Looking at a waiter from Spring Moon House who had cautiously come to check, Long Chen cast him a glance and said lightly.

……

At this moment, Su Hao had left Spring Moon House and was carefully monitoring for any tails, taking a long route to conceal his whereabouts before returning to his residence.

“It seems that Zhang Yuquan is probably connected to the Black Deer Army. After killing Jin Bupo, the Black Deer Army went to great lengths to have Zhang Yuquan investigate and keep an eye on me. I need to be careful moving forward; I can’t act as ‘Wen Tailai’ easily anymore, and I can’t go to the Inspector Department to take bounties either.”

Back home, Su Hao quietly contemplated his experiences from the day. Based on a name ‘Hong Ming’ that Zhang Yuquan disclosed before his death, it was likely that Hong Ming held a high position within the Black Deer Army.

Now that Zhang Yuquan was dead, if the Black Deer Army was unwilling to let the matter go, they would undoubtedly send top-tier experts to watch him. For his own safety, he could no longer act as Wen Tailai and must remain low-key for the time being!

Additionally, the gains from today were undoubtedly significant.

First, there was that ‘prescription.’ Su Hao reviewed it, noting that it recorded a secret medicine called ‘Flood Dragon Snake Muscle-Nourishing Soup,’ which was an exceptional recipe for the Transforming Tendon Elixir.

However, Su Hao also discovered that the prescription was divided into two versions: one was for the premium Transforming Tendon Elixir, requiring the blood of the rare beast ‘Flood Dragon Snake’ as the main ingredient, while the other was a diluted version that replaced ‘Flood Dragon Snake Blood’ with ‘Kui Snake Blood’!
