The Martial Saint of Humanity, I Have Transformed Low-Level Martial Arts Into Immortal Martial Arts - Chapter 86

Chapter 86: The Flood Dragon Snake in Hand! A Dark and Windy Night!

“The majority of the blood from that exotic beast, the Flood Dragon Snake, was taken away, while the essence—its blood—was stored separately. Although I have used most of the Flood Dragon Snake’s blood over the years, I still have quite a bit remaining that I can offer to you, Senior!” Lin Que explained the situation.

This was actually a common occurrence in the martial world; being unjustly targeted due to one’s wealth could lead to the annihilation of an entire clan. Over the years, Lin Que had opposed the All Living Beings Sect at every turn, driven by a desire for revenge.

“The one who led the destruction of my Lin family—through my investigations over the years, I have learned his whereabouts and identity. He is a disciple of the All Living Beings Sect, known as ‘Murong An,’ responsible for this area of Evergreen County,” Lin Que revealed the person he wished to kill.

Su Hao contemplated this information. Murong An was a local leader of the All Living Beings Sect; killing him would likely attract the same attention and investigation from the sect as his previous kill of Jin Bupo had.

Lin Que said in a deep voice, “Senior needn’t worry about anything else… If we succeed, I will publicly declare that the people from the All Living Beings Sect are all killed by me. I can also hand over the remaining Flood Dragon Snake’s blood to you in advance; I can go get it right now.”

This made Su Hao look at Lin Que with a different perspective. He asked with curiosity, “Aren’t you worried that I might take the Flood Dragon Snake’s blood and refuse to help?”

With Su Hao’s strength, once he had the Flood Dragon Snake’s blood, it would be easy for him to either refuse to help or, if he felt ruthless, to kill Lin Que outright.

“I have no other options left. What’s more, if it weren’t for your rescue, I would have died at the hands of those three. If you take the Flood Dragon Snake’s blood and don’t want to help me, I won’t bear any grudges,” Lin Que candidly admitted.

As long as he could kill the disciple of the All Living Beings Sect, Murong An, he was willing to pay any price. To get Su Hao to act, he was ready to offer his reward in advance!

“I’ve already killed three martial artists from the All Living Beings Sect, which means I’ve stirred up trouble with them. It’s better to act decisively and take down their stronghold. Besides, I’m hiding my identity, so no one will know it was me…”

Su Hao thought for a moment and reached a decision.

“Dispose of the bodies, then take me to get the Flood Dragon Snake’s blood. If that goes well, I will help you,” Su Hao said, giving his verdict to Lin Que.

He was the kind of person who repaid kindness and grudges alike. If Lin Que truly handed him the Flood Dragon Snake’s blood, he wouldn’t be the type to take advantage of it and simply refuse to help, or to eliminate Lin Que entirely.

Although Su Hao had already saved Lin Que’s life before, he was not the kind of person who would seek to repay kindness with ulterior motives.

“Yes.”

Upon hearing Su Hao agree to help him, Lin Que suddenly broke into a joyful smile and nodded vigorously.

Su Hao and Lin Que worked together to deal with the several corpses on the ground.

Afterward, Lin Que led Su Hao toward a desolate mountain, explaining as they walked, “The blood of the Flood Dragon Snake needs to be stored at low temperatures. I’ve kept it beneath the lake in this desolate mountain, ready for immediate use.”

With their pace, they arrived at their destination in half an hour. Indeed, as Lin Que had said, there was a lakeside covered in leaves inside the desolate mountain.

“Please wait a moment, Senior,” Lin Que told Su Hao before jumping into the lake.

Su Hao patiently waited on the shore, and shortly after, Lin Que emerged from the water, climbing onto the bank with a sealed round wooden barrel in hand.

Lin Que removed the wooden wedges from the barrel lid and opened it.

“Hmm?”

Su Hao’s eyes brightened. As soon as the lid was lifted, a fierce aura suddenly surged out—this was the scent emanating from the blood inside the barrel!

Upon closer inspection, he saw that the barrel contained thick, dark red blood that shimmered slightly and had an incredibly strong smell of blood.

“The blood carries a hint of the Flood Dragon’s residual power, which can make ferocious beasts like lions and tigers tremble in fear and avoid it at all costs. This is indeed the blood of the exotic beast, the Flood Dragon Snake!”

After careful observation, Su Hao made his final judgment: Lin Que had not lied to him; this was the blood of the Flood Dragon Snake!

“It’s just a bit on the lower side, but… it should be enough for me.”

What made Su Hao slightly regretful was that the barrel contained less than one-third of the Flood Dragon Snake’s blood, which was relatively scarce.

However, given Su Hao’s unique constitution and solid foundation, this blood should be enough for him to complete the Transforming Tendon technique four times!

He replaced the barrel lid and looked up at Lin Que, saying, “There’s no time to waste. Take me to the All Living Beings Sect’s stronghold, and I will help you take your revenge.”

Confirming that Lin Que truly had not deceived him and with the Flood Dragon Snake’s blood in hand, Su Hao also did not hesitate to first help Lin Que resolve his affairs.

“Yes… yes, I will take you there immediately, Senior.”

Upon hearing Su Hao acknowledge the benefit and not preparing to go back on his word or simply eliminate him, Lin Que immediately let out a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly.

Since Su Hao had already killed three martial artists from the All Living Beings Sect, to prevent the stronghold from becoming alert due to the delay, they had to act swiftly and resolve matters cleanly!

Under Lin Que’s guidance, the two arrived at a manor near the water on a neighboring mountain dozens of miles away.

The manor appeared ordinary, built by a wealthy family.

However, as Su Hao approached the manor, he slightly moved his ears and sniffed the air.

“There are weak moans coming from deep within this manor, and a medicinal scent wafts through the air, mixed with a nauseating smell of blood—that’s human blood…”

Having refined his strength five times, Su Hao’s senses were significantly sharper than most people. Standing outside the manor, he could perceive information that ordinary people could not; this manor was indeed suspicious, just as Lin Que said—it was a stronghold of the All Living Beings Sect in Evergreen County.

“Senior, Murong An is inside this manor. I had quietly kept watch here for about ten days and have seen him, but there are other martial artists from the All Living Beings Sect in this manor, making it very difficult to infiltrate and assassinate him…”

Lin Que stared at the towering courtyard wall of the manor, lowering his voice as he spoke.

“Infiltrate and assassinate? Couldn’t we just kill them all instead?”

However, Su Hao’s calm suggestion startled Lin Que, leaving him a bit dry-mouthed.

Su Hao was not prepared to go through the trouble of sneaking in to assassinate Murong An or to wait for him to appear slowly; the simplest and most direct method was to charge in and eliminate all the enemies that stood in his way!

Lin Que was both shocked and admiring. To ordinary martial artists, this stronghold of the All Living Beings Sect may seem like a den of dragons and tigers, but this unnamed senior before him spoke with such extraordinary confidence in a simple statement like “kill them all!”

“You stay outside and try not to let anyone escape. I will be back soon.”

Su Hao did not waste words. He simply told Lin Que this before striding toward the manor’s main gate.

At the entrance of the manor, the heavy main gate was tightly closed.

“Who is it? The password!”

Through the gap in the gate, a guarding martial artist barked out, noticing the cloaked figure of Su Hao outside. He immediately inquired for the code, assuming that someone approaching the manor so boldly was also a member of the All Living Beings Sect.
