It’s all about martial arts, why did you turn on the simple mode?

The gold-medal secret guards have each entered the realm of bone forging, possessing extraordinary strength and practicing Hong's most core killing techniques.

A gold medal secret guard is enough to kill the Bone Forging Perfection Warrior.

Two gold medal secret guards are enough to kill five jade-bone warriors.

Even if the three gold medal secret guards encounter a blood-moving warrior, they will be equally matched. If they are lucky, they might be able to kill them at the risk of their lives.

The secret guard is one of the many trump cards of the Hong family. They walk on the tip of the knife and frighten the entire Qinzhou on behalf of the Hong family.

Generally speaking, the Hong family rarely sends out secret guards to deal with one person, especially gold medal secret guards.

Each Gold Medal Secret Guard has spent a lot of resources of the Hong Sect on training. It is no exaggeration to say that they are all the best warriors of the Hong Sect.

But there is no way, the death of so many blood-moving warriors has greatly reduced the prestige of the Hong family, and at the same time made those hostile forces ready to take action.

They must find ways to deter all forces.

Originally Su Chen was not part of this operation, but since Hong Jinnian proposed it, Hong Jinfeng, as the clan leader, obeyed his wishes.

Anyway, both left and right will die, and the result of killing early or killing later is the same.

As for the government?

As Hong Jinnian said, if you are given face, you are the government. If you are not given face, there is no difference between you and those forces that are destroyed casually.

In addition, there is a secondary reason.

The last time Su Chen killed Hong Qi, they didn't know Su Chen's true strength.

It was assumed that Su Chen had reached the perfect state of bone forging. Although he had murderous intentions, he was unable to do so for the time being due to various reasons.

But this time Hong Ke's message clearly stated that Su Chen was just a warrior who had completed the bone forging process. In other words, Su Chen counterattacked Hong Qi who had completed the bone forging process when he had completed the bone forging process.

Bone Forging Xiaocheng counterattacks and Bone Forging is perfect?

If the person who wrote this letter was not Hong Ke, they would just think that the other person was joking with them.

In the bone forging realm, the strength of each stage is very different.

In particular, Hong Qi also condensed two jade bones, and his strength was a bit stronger than the ordinary bone-forging perfection.

In the perfect state of bone forging, a total of five jade bones can be condensed, corresponding to the hands, feet and spine. Each jade bone condensed doubles the strength.

And depending on the individual's physical constitution, the strength will be further increased.

Since Hong Qi has reached the level of two jade bones at such a young age, his true combat power is comparable to that of three jade bones.

But even so, he still died in the hands of Su Chen, who was a master of bone forging.

This alone was enough to attract their attention. Just in case, Hong Jinfeng simply sent out three gold medal secret guards.

Neither Hong Jingrui nor Hong Jinnian had any objections to this. They did not think that the three gold medal secret guards would fail in killing Su Chen.

The three of them didn't know that Su Chen was just starting to forge bones when he killed Hong Qi, and they didn't know that in order to save some face for himself, Hong Ke deliberately lowered Su Chen's true strength in the letter.

…

Qiao Mansion.

"Sir, I want you to come over here."

Qiao Qiliang had just returned to the house from Su Chen's Villa when he saw the housekeeper coming towards him and said respectfully.

He nodded and then came to the lobby. Qiao Renzhou was handling official business. He saw Qiao Qiliang coming in and handed over a letter.

Seeing this, Qiao Qiliang picked it up and took a look, his eyebrows gradually became serious, and he asked in surprise: "Hong Ke is dead?"

"Well, on the day you return to the city." Qiao Renzhou nodded lightly.

"this……"

Knowing this time, Qiao Qiliang's expression changed slightly and asked, "Do you know who the murderer is?"

"The people of the Hong family thought it was the mysterious leader of the Rebirth Cult. Hong Ke was beheaded by him and died miserably." Qiao Renzhou replied.

For some reason, when he heard the news, Su Chen's figure inadvertently appeared in Qiao Qiliang's mind.

It wasn't until Qiao Renzhou replied that this dissipated, with a smile on his face: "It's okay to die."

Qiao Renzhou was noncommittal, looked at his son and said, "I come to you this time for one more thing."

"What's going on?" Qiao Qiliang asked.

"About rebuilding the Liuhe Gang."

Seeing Qiao Qiliang's confused expression, Qiao Renzhou explained, "To be precise, it is to re-create a second 'Liuhe Gang' to prevent the Hong family from becoming dominant."

Hearing this, Qiao Qiliang nodded slightly: "What do you need from me?"

"I have already arranged most of the things here. What you have to do is to recruit the alchemists from the Liuhe Gang. We need them to refine the elixirs."

With that said, he handed the list to Qiao Qiliang. These were all former alchemists of the Liuhe Gang.

Qiao Qiliang took the list, glanced at it for a few times, then stopped paying attention, and asked: "Dad, even if we find these alchemists, there is no pill comparable to the Qi and Blood Pill, and even if we finally succeed in creating the second Liuhe Gang, they must be The same fate will happen again!"

Low-end warriors can obtain Qi and Blood elixirs in many ways, but warriors above Zang training basically rely on Qi and Blood elixirs. There are no elixirs comparable to Qi and Blood elixirs, and they will still be bound to the Hong family in the end. .

Just like the previous Liuhe Gang, although they were secretly affiliated with the government, they actually had an unclear relationship with the Hong family. Even Cai Liuhe himself had to buy Qi and Blood Pills from the Hong family.

In addition, even if they have the ability to rebuild the second Liuhe Gang, but the Hong family finally got rid of the Liuhe Gang with the help of the Chu family, how could they allow a second Liuhe Gang to appear in Dafeng City? Their reconstruction attracted the Hong family's obstruction.

Qiao Renzhou naturally knew these truths. He said: "The problem of the elixir will be solved in a while. We have already contacted people from the Chu family. Once someone from the Chu family refines the Qi and blood pill, we will buy it from the Chu family. This will For a while, let’s find an alchemist first.”

This is also a helpless move. Once the Xuanshui Gang is allowed to completely control Dafeng City, the situation of the City Lord's Mansion will be even more difficult.

"Chu family?" Qiao Qiliang heard the implication of Qiao Renzhou's words. Hong family's people gave the pill recipe to Chu family?

What Qiao Renzhou said next confirmed his suspicion: "The Chu family announced their marriage to the Hong family, so they must have sent the pill recipe."

"Dad, is there a Qi and Blood Pill so that we no longer have to be controlled by the Hong family?"

Suddenly, Qiao Qiliang seemed to think of something and couldn't help asking, a light seemed to flash in his eyes.

"This is natural, at least it doesn't need to be like this now. However, it is not easy to find a pill that can replace the Qi and Blood Pill!" Qiao Renzhou sighed.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qiao Qiliang leaving in a hurry and couldn't help but ask.

"I'm going to find the elixir!"

Qiao Renzhou: "...!"

…

At night.

Su Chen walked out of the secret room, took a shower, changed his clothes, and had a simple dinner.

One day's research is nothing more than a few failed experiences, and it provides very limited help for the progress of Qi Blood Pill research.

He doesn't care, it will always add up.

After dinner, Su Chen did not enter the secret room again. He planned to practice tonight.

Since the last time the iron cloth shirt was promoted to the seventh level, Su Chen has not fully tested its power, so he just took advantage of the free time to get familiar with it.

The iron cloth shirt on the seventh level is far ahead in terms of total strength. Even if it is simply covering the whole body with the iron cloth shirt's strength, it is a piece of cake.

"The seventh layer of iron cloth shirt has given me enough strength to face the blood-moving warriors without falling behind. I even killed them."

After a simple test, Su Chen concluded by himself.

Of course, this is the overall strength and cannot be achieved by just relying on an iron cloth shirt.

Hoo ho ho!

Just as Su Chen was familiar with the power in his body in the backyard, a gust of wind suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

He followed the sound and took a closer look, only to see three men in black standing on the wall of the courtyard, looking down at Su Chen.

"A member of the Hong family?" Su Chen guessed.

As if knowing that Su Chen was staring at them, the three of them spread their hands and soared like sparrows, then swooped down. Their bodies were like lightning, and suddenly they were in front of Su Chen, forming a triangle shape to surround Su Chen. stand up.

"kill!"

One of the men in black uttered a word and then charged towards Su Chen. The other two men in black didn't even say a word and went straight towards Su Chen.

Su Chen was a little surprised. He had never seen a killer assassinate in such a majestic way.

But for some reason, he felt that the three people in front of him were the real killers. Who said that only those standing in the dark were called killers?

Dang, Dang, Dang!

Su Chen pulled out the steel knife and entangled the three of them.

The three of them had strong bodies, fierce sword skills, and cruel methods. They cooperated perfectly with each other and directly blocked Su Chen.

"These three people are very powerful!"

After only a few rounds of fighting, Su Chen's expression became serious, and he did not dare to underestimate the killing skills of the three of them.

They are simply born killers, and every move seems to be performed for the purpose of killing.

Hiss!

Even though Su Chen didn't dare to be careless, he still took advantage of the three people's combined attack skills and slashed his chest.

Fortunately, Su Chen had rough skin and thick flesh and was not injured.

But it also made Su Chen more solemn. You must know that he had tried his best just now, but even so, he was still injured by three people.

"Just now, I was confident that I would be able to defeat the blood-moving warriors, but in the blink of an eye, I was severely slapped in the face by the reality. The three people in front of me are at best bone-forging warriors, but I was almost injured."

Su Chen suddenly exerted his strength, brandished the steel knife, and retreated. However, the three of them followed closely like gangrene on their bones, with cold murderous intent all over their bodies.

Seeing this, Su Chen's eyes became serious and his mind became active:

"The three of them are much stronger than me when they join forces. If I want to deal with the three of them, I can only defeat them individually. The space here is too large, which is not good for me!"

The three-man attack struck again, with ghostly figures alternating back and forth, bringing confusion and also sharp killing moves.

However, at this moment, Su Chen moved and suddenly fled into the room.

The three of them looked at each other, and the exchange of eyes was completed in an instant, and then they turned around and chased away, entering the room.

"Over there!"

Entering the room, they soon discovered Su Chen's figure. Seeing the secret passage beside the bed, the three of them entered the secret passage one after another without hesitation.

Boom!

There was a faint candlelight in the secret passage. Su Chen noticed it the moment the three people entered, and he quickly closed the secret passage.

The three of them naturally heard the voice coming from behind, but they didn't pay attention. Instead, they turned their attention to Su Chen.

Even though death was imminent, Su Chen was still smiling.

boom!

The stone door of the secret passage closed with a bang.

There are various medicinal smells floating in the air, mixed together, making people feel nauseated.

The three of them were all experienced people, so they held their breath after entering the secret passage, fearing that Su Chen would poison them.

Before they could launch an attack, Su Chen took the lead in attacking the three of them.

When the three people saw this, their eyes exuded a dangerous aura, and then they swarmed forward, turning into three black shadows and attacking Su Chen again.

In the closed secret room, the sound of gold and iron clashing suddenly sounded, and four figures intertwined in the light and shadow, looking messy.

Being in the secret room does have an impact on the three people's combat power, but it is not very obvious.

They still relied on their agile body skills and deadly sword skills to suppress Su Chen.

Bang bang bang!

After the fierce collision, Su Chen's clothes became tattered and looked very embarrassed.

However, the three people on the opposite side also felt uncomfortable. Compared to Su Chen's embarrassment, all three of them were injured by Su Chen, with blood dripping from large or small wounds on their bodies.

"Do you know why I brought you to the secret room?" Su Chen took a few steps back and asked calmly with sharp eyes.

The three of them didn't reply, and Su Chen didn't care, but said to himself: "That's because you won't be able to run away!"

After speaking, Su Chen dodged, his speed suddenly increased a few points, and he shot towards the three of them.

The three of them rushed forward without thinking, splitting into three, with awe-inspiring aura and murderous intent.

"Batakujutsu!"

Su Chen muttered softly, his eyes were extremely sharp, and he aimed at a man in black in the flash of lightning. The steel knife in his hand whizzed towards him like light and electricity.

He heard a sound of breaking through the air suddenly, and then he hit the man in black's scimitar head-on. The two knives collided, and strong winds blew up.

"Hidden knife!"

However, at this moment, Su Chen's sleeves flicked, and a cold light suddenly appeared, occupying the entire pupil of the man in black in the candlelight, and seemed to freeze his entire sight.

The knife fell and the body and head were separated!

After killing a man in black, Su Chen did not stop, put away the Yanling knife, and turned to the other two people.

At this time, the two of them were slightly distracted. Apparently they did not expect that their companion would be killed by Su Chen like this. It was not until Su Chen's figure suddenly arrived that the two of them came back to their senses.

This time, the situation was reversed.

After losing a man in black, the two of them were obviously no match for Su Chen.

Click.

There was no need for a knife in his sleeve, he slashed out with one knife, and the four blade shadows came like a wave, catching him off guard and taking the life of a man in black again.

"run!"

Seeing this scene, the remaining man in black turned around and ran without saying a word. He was extremely fast and arrived in front of the stone gate in an instant. He slashed down with his knife, but only heard a violent trembling sound coming from the stone gate. Then it fell silent.

"not good!"

The man in black suddenly realized that something was wrong and turned around suddenly, only to see Su Chen quietly coming less than three meters behind him and looking at him with a smile on his face.

Seeing this scene, the man in black's eyes suddenly froze, and the scimitar in his hand was no longer aimed at Su Chen, but was suddenly pushed towards his neck, obviously preparing to commit suicide.

Su Chen's eyes darkened, and he rushed out. At the critical moment, he raised the steel knife in his hand and flicked it away from the man in black. What Su Chen didn't expect was that the man in black There was black blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.

In less than a moment, the man in black was poisoned and died in front of Su Chen.

This made Su Chen's face look a little ugly. He was planning to leave one alive, but he didn't expect that all three of them would rather die than surrender.

Su Chen took out the bodies of the three people and placed them in the yard, trying to find clues from the three people's bodies. Unfortunately, the three people's bodies were smoother than a machete.

Although I guessed that they were members of the Hong family, it was just a guess and not certain.

"Huh? What happened?"

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps at the door. Qiao Qiliang was startled when he saw three corpses as soon as he walked into the yard.

Immediately, his expression changed slightly, he stepped forward quickly and asked in a deep voice: "Is he the person who assassinated you?"

Su Chen nodded when he heard this.

Qiao Qiliang stepped forward and looked at her carefully for a moment, then his expression gradually became serious and he looked at Su Chen: "This is Hong's secret guard!"

"As expected, he is from the Hong family." Su Chen raised his eyebrows and lowered his eyes.

Hong’s ghost is really lingering!

"The Hong family was really willing to give up on the three secret guards. It's a pity that you killed them. I think they will be heartbroken when they find out."

After confirming the identities of the three people, Qiao Qiliang chuckled. If he knew that the three people in front of him were gold medal secret guards, he might not be able to laugh anymore.

He thought that the Hong family just sent three ordinary secret guards to attack Su Chen. Who would have thought that the Hong family directly sent three gold medal secret guards.

"Do you want revenge?"

Ignoring the bodies of the three people, Qiao Qiliang suddenly asked with a smile.

Su Chen looked at Qiao Qiliang.

Later, Qiao Qiliang told Su Chen the purpose of his trip: "...In other words, as long as you refine the Qi and Blood Pill, you can give the Hong family a heavy blow!"

After finishing speaking, he asked: "By the way, how is your progress now?"

"There's not much progress yet."

Su Chen replied casually, focusing entirely on what Qiao Qiliang had just said.

"That's okay." Qiao Qiliang waved his hand and asked again, "How are you doing? Are you interested in joining me?"

Seeing Su Chen's silence, he continued: "In fact, as long as you refine the Qi and Blood Pill, the government will not need to worry too much about the Hong family. Once the opportunity comes, they will drive away the Hong family with thunderous force and get rid of this cancer."

"Don't forget, even if we develop the Qi and Blood Pill, we may not be able to use it extensively. Once the Hong family discovers it, they will launch an army to investigate." Su Chen glanced at Qiao Qiliang.

"This..." Qiao Qiliang looked troubled after hearing this. This was indeed a problem.

Anyone with a discerning eye can find that the elixir refined by the government has the same effect as the Qi and Blood elixir, not to mention the Hong family. When the Hong family discovers it, they will definitely be able to connect the team's attack and trace them back to their source.

"Well, we have to find another way." Qiao Qiliang planned to discuss it with Su Chen and then tell his father Qiao Renzhou about the matter as a surprise. However, when Su Chen said this, he felt a little disappointed.

"It's not impossible." Su Chen said thoughtfully.

"What can we do?" Qiao Qiliang asked eagerly.

"Weaken the efficacy of the medicine, or change the name, but all this will have to wait until the elixir is refined."

Su Chen put forward his idea, then looked at Qiao Qiliang and asked, "By the way, when will the reconstruction start?"
