Surviving in high-level martial arts and stacking Hextech

Chapter 50 Viper Gang

Sanyuan Black Market, Viper Gang.

In the dimly lit space, several neon lights lit up.

Jiang Feng, Sun Hao, and Yuan Guannan stood at the entrance of the gang, looking indifferently at the dark mass of people inside.

A dozen or so tattooed men, shirtless and with prosthetic limbs replacing parts of their bodies, stood inside the door smoking, their eyes darting menacingly over Jiang Feng and his companions.

Among the crowd, the two leading figures exuded a powerful aura of blood and energy. Judging from the intensity of their aura, they were probably no longer martial artists at the Body Tempering Realm.

Just then, a burly figure from the Viper Gang stepped out of the shadows, past the two Qi and Blood Realm warriors.

This person is Xue Ya, the leader of the Viper Gang, who possesses the strength of the Upper Realm of Qi and Blood.

Xue Ya's gaze swept over the three people in front of him, finally landing on Sun Hao. He suppressed his wariness, cupped his hands, and said, "May I ask what brings you all to my Viper Gang?"

Sun Hao did not answer that question, but simply opened his hand, revealing what was inside.

It was a black token with dark green snake patterns engraved on it, looking quite ferocious.

"These are your gang's things, aren't they?" Sun Hao's voice was extremely cold.

Xue Ya was taken aback upon seeing this, and after examining it carefully, he said in a deep voice, "It's our stuff."

"That's good." Sun Hao nodded, and without saying a word, his aura suddenly surged, and the blood-red qi that was almost solidified transformed around him.

With one step, his cultivation level, also at the upper realm of Qi and Blood, was fully revealed, causing the Viper Gang members present to show slight unease.

Jiang Feng's gaze also fell on the token.

When Sun Hao notified him not long ago, he was the first person to rush to Fang Xiao's side.

This token was the only thing the other party had at that time.

Xue Ya took two steps back and frowned.

Although both were at the upper level of Qi and Blood, he could feel that the other party's pressure was far stronger than his own. It was likely that the other party's martial arts aptitude had reached the level of Spirit Bone.

I am no match for him.

When did the Viper Gang ever provoke such people?

Could it be...?

His gaze fell on Yuan Guannan behind Sun Hao. Looking at that youthful face filled with hatred, he had a vague guess.

Could it be that his subordinates had a conflict with these students?

He was about to speak, wanting to ask for clarification, when Sun Hao, as if reading his mind, coldly said...

"Chief, there's no need to ask any further. Today, one of my students died in your Sanyuan Black Market. When we arrived, all he had left behind was this Viper Gang token."

As he said this, Sun Hao clenched his fists, trying his best to control his turbulent emotions.

As the teacher leading the team, he brought these hopes of Lancheng to Suzhou, hoping to help them achieve a better future. However, he never imagined that his momentary negligence would lead to Fang Xiao's death here.

This promising genius was reduced to a corpse.

How could he accept that?

How can we explain this to Fang Xiao's parents?

Upon realizing this, his heart turned completely cold.

Today, no matter what, Sun Hao must get an explanation for Fang Xiao!

"A student died...?!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Ya's eyelids twitched violently, and he subconsciously glanced at the people around him.

Everyone avoided his gaze, and no one dared to speak.

Seeing his subordinates avoiding him like the plague, he vaguely sensed something was amiss. After a moment's thought, he murmured, "This... teacher, may I ask what kind of strength that deceased student possessed in life?"

Sun Hao was silent for a moment, then said, "Mysterious Bone Aptitude, Body Tempering Level 4."

Hearing this, Xue Ya breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy stone had been lifted from his shoulders.

He smiled and said, "This... teacher, you may not know this, but although my Viper Gang is a gang, we never neglect the management of our personnel. On weekdays, core members who carry this token and travel outside will be recorded."

As he spoke, he took out his phone, scrolled through it, and handed it to Sun Hao.

"I went out on errands for over 30 core personnel today, but only 7 of them were at the fourth level of Body Tempering, and all of them were of mortal aptitude... How could they possibly be a match for your student?"

Xue Ya said innocently, "Besides, what gang would blatantly leave evidence around a corpse after killing someone, as if they were afraid others wouldn't be able to find them?"

Seeing Sun Hao's expression begin to waver, Xue Ya was secretly delighted, knowing that today's clash seemed to have a turning point.

If someone weaker had come looking for this, the Viper Gang would have accepted the murder as a mere show of force.

But the person in front of him was far stronger than himself. If a fight broke out, it was hard to say whether the Viper Gang could survive. So he should follow his heart.

Besides, they didn't kill this person in the first place, did they?

"I think..." Xue Ya forced a smile, "Is there some misunderstanding here...?"

Before he could even utter the word "will," a long-forgotten memory from half a year ago flashed through his mind, and he was instantly stunned, as if struck by lightning.

He suddenly remembered something.

This token, which is only possessed by core members of the Viper Gang, is indeed registered in the gang's records, and not a single one is missing.

However, there are two exceptions.

Six months ago, that official came here on business, and for the sake of convenience, he seemed to have taken two tokens from me...

Could it be...?

Thinking of this, Xue Ya's heart began to tremble uncontrollably.

That person is far more terrifying than the one before us!

That was a... Grandmaster!

If... I were to reveal this, I'm afraid all of the more than one hundred members of the Viper Gang would be dead!

Rather than be an enemy of someone at the Grandmaster level... he looked at Sun Hao.

When faced with two evils, choose the lesser one!

"Why."

Everyone was waiting for him to continue.

However, after a long silence, he let out a heavy sigh.

"I killed the person," he said calmly.

"boom!"

The moment the words fell, Sun Hao leaped in front of him, his terrifying blood energy gathering around him. Without hesitation, he threw a punch at Xue Ya!

"You bastard! Just admit it!" Sun Hao's expression instantly turned furious and ferocious!

At this moment, Xue Ya's body was also enveloped in a protective aura, which collided violently with Sun Hao's punch. A semi-transparent circular shockwave emanated from the two of them and spread outwards!

The Viper Gang members scattered like birds and beasts, all hiding to the side.

"If you have any unspeakable secrets, I advise you to tell us sooner rather than later!" Sun Hao grinned maliciously as he pressed forward.

This was the first time in over a decade that he had been so angry!

Xue Ya was forced to retreat by the terrifying force, his face pale, but he made no explanation.

The next moment, two red lights exploded in the center of the gang, and Xue Ya and Sun Hao charged into battle!

Jiang Feng and Yuan Guannan's side—

The two were unable to participate in the battle at the Qi and Blood Upper Realm. The latter had already turned red-eyed. The moment he saw Sun Hao make his move, the green protective aura within his body suddenly surged up and headed straight for a certain vice leader of the Viper Gang!

"Why."

Jiang Feng sighed softly, his expression rather complicated.

Although Fang Xiao and I don't get along, he is, after all, a classmate who came to Suzhou together. Today, no matter what, I will avenge him.

"boom!"

The stone slab beneath Jiang Feng cracked inch by inch. He transformed into a red afterimage, covering dozens of meters in an instant and rushing in front of the remaining deputy gang leader.

"You little brat, you're asking for it!"

The deputy gang leader hasn't figured out the current situation yet, but as a member of a gang, he naturally can't let others bully him!

As soon as he finished speaking, a blood-red armor of qi condensed on his body, but its density was far less than that of Sun Hao and Xue Ya.

Early stage of Qi and Blood Realm, with Xuan Bone aptitude.

Jiang Feng's eyes lit up. He had just advanced in rank and hadn't had a chance to test the power of the Darkborn Spirit Bone and the Divine Dragon Flame. Unexpectedly, a martial artist at the early stage of the Qi and Blood Realm had come to him.

"Good timing!"

Today, I'll use you as a test subject!
