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

Bang bang bang!

Looking at the two people fighting in front of him, Hong Xi was dumbfounded.

He soon saw the clues.

The man in black obviously wanted to assassinate him.

And the smelly beggar seemed to be the one who came to protect him.

But he did not know the beggar, and he did not remember that he had ever interacted with him, but this was not the time to delve into these issues.

His eyes were like lightning, his eyes were calm, his body was slightly bent, and he locked his eyes on Su Chen, waiting for the opportunity, planning to support the beggar as soon as he found an opportunity.

"Behead the man in black first, and then ask the beggar for his identity." He thought in his mind, as if he was ready to rush out.

But before this posture was completely condensed, it came to an abrupt end because of the beggar's words:

"I'm going to decide his life, you can't take action!"

grass!

It turns out that they are not here to support me, but to kill me!

When Hong Xi heard this, his eyelids twitched wildly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his eager expression was stunned for a moment, and then he became filled with surging anger.

You kept saying that you wanted to kill him, but did you take him as a blood-moving warrior seriously?

But at this moment, neither Su Chen nor the handsome man noticed Hong Xi's mood.

Su Chen originally thought that the person in front of him was a member of the Xuanshui Gang. When he heard this, he immediately realized that he was a member of the same group!

With a bang, he knocked back the handsome man with a palm, and a hoarse voice sounded: "Then do it."

Hong Xi: "...!"

Before Hong Xi could get angry, the handsome man's eyes instantly shifted to him, and at the same time he said softly: "Thank you!"

Then, the handsome man dodged and rushed towards Hongxi like a cheetah, taking action as fast as lightning.

Seeing this, Hong Xi's anger that had been pent up for a long time burst out like a tidal wave, and roared: "You are a cowardless person, seeking death!"

Before he finished speaking, Hong Xi's feet seemed to be stepping on the flowing water. The waves moved slightly, showing off his extraordinary body skills. His arms danced like a spiritual snake. Between opening and closing, there was a long and powerful roar. .

The two people collided fiercely, and burst out with great force, destroying all the tables, chairs and benches around them, leaving the room in a mess.

Su Chen on the side stood and stared, looking a bit solemn. The strength of this Hong Xi was probably comparable to Hong Ke, and even half as good as Hong Ke because of his age and strength.

This Hong family is really a big family and a big business. If you randomly pull out a deputy gang leader, you will be in the realm of moving blood!

But what shocked Su Chen even more was the handsome man, who naturally discovered the strangeness of the other party with his eyes.

The handsome man was injured, and the injury seemed to be serious.

Even with such an injury, he was still able to overpower Hong Xi, which showed how strong he was, and his true strength was even more powerful than what he showed at the moment.

The battle between the two did not last long. Under Hong Xi's hysterical outbreak, instead of being able to deal with the handsome man, he seized the opportunity and was killed by the opponent with one move.

Looking at Hong Xi's deadpan eyes, Su Chen shook his head slightly. He was too familiar with this look. It should have been directed at him, but now it was directed at the handsome man, but it didn't matter, as long as Hong Xi was dead.

Suddenly, he turned his eyes and looked at the handsome man who was breathing heavily. He frowned and said, "He's not dead yet. Why don't you give him a stab?"

The handsome man was stunned when he heard this, and then he suddenly moved forward and struck out with a palm.

Hong Xi, who was pretending to be dead, thought he could deceive him, but he never thought that Su Chen would tell the truth. He could no longer pretend, so he opened his eyes and wanted to escape.

However, he was a step too late, and the handsome man seized the opportunity and hit Tian Ling Gai directly with his palm.

This time, he was completely dead!

"Thank you!"

The handsome man didn't expect Hong Xi to be so cunning and pretend to be dead. Fortunately, Su Chen reminded him in time and didn't let him go.

Su Chen glanced at the dead Hong Xi, shook his head, and disappeared in front of the handsome man without saying a word.

Watching Su Chen's retreating figure, a smile appeared on the face of the handsome man: "It seems that I am not the only one who is the enemy of the Hong family, and his strength is not much weaker than mine."

When he thought that the man in black was also the enemy of the Hong family, the handsome man couldn't help but feel that he was not alone.

He chuckled, shook his head to clear the thoughts from his mind, and turned to leave.

After he left, a dark shadow fell, and Su Chen came back again, rummaging around the room.

After drinking some tea, Su Chen weighed his pockets and returned home with a full load.

…

Qiao Mansion.

Qiao Qiliang's eyes were dull, his skin was dull, and there were two dark circles under his eyes. He was covering his head in thought, worrying about something.

Since receiving the support of Boiling Blood Pill, Qiao Renzhou has overcome all difficulties to support the Sihai Gang. He sees the Sihai Gang prospering and is about to take back the territory of the Liuhe Gang.

As a result, because of the words of Hong Xi, the new deputy leader of the Xuanshui Gang, those forces that had previously promised to return their territory were now afraid to even let go.

Even with pressure from the government, these forces are unwilling to hand over their territory for fear of retaliation from the Xuanshui Gang.

Even some pro-government forces changed their tune in the end, saying that it was not that they were unwilling to pay, but that they did not dare to pay, and they declined Qiao Qiliang politely.

This put Qiao Qiliang, who was about to show off his skills, into a dilemma. He didn't know what to do for a while and had a headache.

Tap tap tap.

"Master Qiao."

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

Immediately, a figure walked quickly. Qiao Qiliang looked up and saw that it was Qiu Sihai, the leader of the Sihai Gang.

Qiu Sihai had a bright smile on his face, which made Qiao Qiliang startled.

Before he could ask, Qiu Sihai smiled and said: "Mr. Qiao, what a good thing, what a great thing!"

"Gang Leader Qiu, why are you so happy?"

Qiao Qiliang asked after hearing this, but there wasn't much of a smile on his face. He was still worried about the territory.

Qiu Sihai took a few steps forward and smiled: "It's about Hong Xi. He, he was killed!"

"What?" Qiao Qiliang stood up suddenly after hearing this. He was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, "Who did it?"

"It's a beggar and a man in black. Now the Xuanshui Gang is in chaos because of Hong Xi's death. Mr. Qiao, our chance has come!" Qiu Sihai was also a little excited.

Qiao Qiliang nodded immediately: "Yes, inform other forces that tomorrow's banquet will remain as usual."

"yes!"

After Qiu Sihai left, Qiao Qiliang slowly calmed down, but the tense expression on his face had relaxed.

He sat down and gradually showed a pensive look, as if he was thinking about who killed Hong Xi.

"A beggar, a man in black..."

The next day.

News about the death of the new deputy leader of the Xuanshui Gang spread throughout Dafeng City, and many forces who heard the news were stunned.

Is the Xuanshui Gang destined to commit Tai Sui this year?

Why did another deputy gang leader die?

During this period, the Xuanshui Gang has become the center of conversation in Dafeng City, causing heated discussions every once in a while.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Qiao Qiliang.

Early in the morning, he couldn't wait to summon other forces in advance. After some coercion and inducement, he finally took back 40% of the Liuhe Gang's territory.

It is difficult to take back the remaining territory for the time being, because it is all under the influence of the Xuanshui Gang, but it doesn't matter, just 40% of the territory is enough for the Sihai Gang to digest for a long time.

However, this is only a verbal retraction, and it will take some time to actually implement it, so Qiao Qiliang will be busy in the next period of time.

Xuanshui Sect.

A figure entered the attic angrily. Hong Jinfeng, the patriarch of the Hong clan, and Hong Jingrui, the head of the Xuanshui Sect, had been waiting for a long time.

"It's too much!"

Hong Jinnian, the leader of the Xuanshui Gang, scolded angrily, anger rising on his face.

He couldn't help but be angry. During his absence, another deputy gang leader was killed.

Hong Jinfeng waved to him and motioned for him to sit down with an ugly look on his face.

After Hong Jinnian sat down, Hong Jinfeng got straight to the point: "This matter has been found out clearly. Hong Xi was killed by Wen Qingqiu, the leader of the Rebirth Sect."

"This bitch!"

Hearing this, Hong Jinnian was furious. He had been chasing Wen Qingqiu, but unexpectedly, the other party stole his lair and killed Hong Xi.

"Where is he?"

"Still in Dafeng City." Hong Jinfeng replied.

"I'll go find him!"

"Wait a minute."

Hong Jinfeng stopped him, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, there is one more thing."

"What's going on?" Hong Jinnian asked in confusion.

Hong Jingrui on the side waved his hand, motioning for Hong Jinnian to sit down, and then said: "It's about the Sihai Gang."

Hong Jinnian was stunned by these words: "Sihai Gang? Isn't it the gang supported by Qiao Renzhou? I have already asked people to stop them from taking back the Liuhe Gang's territory. What kind of trouble can it cause?"

"Things have changed. Qiao Renzhou took advantage of Hong Xi's death to take back 40% of the Liuhe Gang's territory." Hong Jingrui said calmly, with a hint of murderous intent in his voice.

"How can you really think that our Xuanshui Gang doesn't dare to kill him?" Hong Jinnian said angrily.

Ignoring Hong Jinnian's violent temper, at Hong Jinfeng's signal, Hong Jingrui took out a light red pill and placed it in front of Hong Jinnian.

He glanced at Hong Jingrui with some confusion and asked, "What is this?"

"This is an elixir leaked out by the Sihai Clan, called the 'Blood-Boiling Pill'. It is the elixir used by the Sihai Clan to recruit warriors."

Hearing this, Hong Jinnian picked up the elixir and saw the clues from Hong Jingrui's face and words. As he swallowed the elixir, his expression gradually became serious.

After a while, he became speechless: "This elixir..."

Except for the difference in appearance and efficacy, it is almost identical to the Qi-Blood Pill. It is simply a weakened version of the Qi-Blood Pill.

He immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

"How could the Sihai Gang refine this kind of elixir? Could it be that..." Surprised, Hong Jinnian couldn't help but think deeply. He thought of a possibility and looked at Hong Jinfeng and Hong Jingrui in astonishment.

Their expressions were gloomy, and there was a strong murderous intent between their brows.

"We suspect that the person who got the Qi and Blood Pill recipe last time was not the Rebirth Cult, but the City Lord's Mansion. Now they have started to find someone to refine the Qi and Blood Pill. It won't take long before they can create a Qi exactly like ours. Blood pill!"

Hong Jinfeng said in a deep voice, and the chill in his words could be heard through the air.

The Qi and Blood Pill is Hong's top priority, and no one is allowed to infect it.

It was a helpless act to give it to the Chu family, but if anyone else dared to get their hands on it, be prepared to accept Hong's overwhelming revenge.

"Moreover, we also found out that Qiao Renzhou's son Qiao Qiliang has been secretly purchasing Fire Blood Grass in large quantities."

These words were the final word and basically convinced Hong Jinnian that the elixir in the hands of the Sihai Gang was the Qi and Blood elixir.

He suddenly said: "No wonder the City Lord's Mansion dares to support the Sihai Gang and is not afraid that we will stop supplying Qi and Blood Pills. It turns out that it was planned long ago."

After a pause, he looked at Hong Jinfeng with a serious face and asked: "Clan leader, what should we do now? The Qi and Blood Pill must not be controlled by the City Lord's Mansion."

Hong Jinfeng sneered, his eyes were deep and his words were cold: "Since Qiao Renzhou doesn't know what is good and what is good, and is always against us, then let's just change the city lord!"

"Who?" Hong Jinnian asked sideways.

"Hong Yue!"

…

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

After many days of negotiations by Qiao Qiliang, the Sihai Gang has now completely taken back 40% of the Liuhe Gang's original territory.

high speed.

Coupled with various preparations, the Sihai Gang accepted these territories in an orderly manner and naturally replaced them with other forces.

To Qiao Qiliang's expectation, during this period, the Xuanshui Gang seemed to be silent and did not do anything to stop them.

This made him a little unpredictable, but he didn't delve into it.

Instead, he threw himself into a big business that was in full swing and was busy every day, so that he didn't even have time to see Su Chen.

Su Chen didn't care. He was also busy. After many days of taking drugs, the progress of the Hou Tu Que on the dashboard was finally full.

"You can turn on the simple mode to improve the thick soil."

Su Chen's face was full of joy. This would be the first of his five techniques to reach the limit, which naturally made him look forward to it.

As Su Chen expressed his thoughts, the panel quickly gave feedback:

[Easy mode on: Stand for an hour and you can practice the thick soil to the limit. 】

Su Chen did not stand for nothing. While standing, he read medical books and passed the time. This also met the conditions of the panel.

An hour later, as the panels changed, the thick soil barrier was raised and reached its limit.

Afterwards, he experienced the changes in Houtuque in detail:

"The assimilation ability of Houtu Jin has become faster, and it can be converted at will within a few breaths to increase combat power.

In addition, its 'loan limit' has also increased significantly, and its ability to win over others has also increased.

Finally, the speed of refining Qi and Blood Pills, which used to be about an hour, is now reduced by half, taking only half an hour. "

These changes are good, but what makes Su Chen most satisfied is that Houtu Que temporarily alleviates the impact of the conflict of strength.

Some time ago, Su Chen noticed that the powers in his body were incompatible with each other, and he was vaguely trying to recreate the situation of conflict between powers.

But soon Su Chen discovered that the thick earth energy could alleviate the conflict of powers, so he took the lead in raising the thick earth barrier and trained it to the limit to see if this effect could be eliminated.

After some attempts, the effect is still there.

As long as Su Chen kept using the thick soil barrier to convert the remaining four powers, the conflict of powers would be alleviated.

However, this relief is only temporary. If you want to resolve the power conflict, you may have to use Hunyuan Gong.

"With the extremely thick soil, I think it will be able to support it for a while. Once the other three techniques have been raised to the limit, we can then consider using the Hunyuan Technique to integrate strength."

After all, among all the techniques he currently practices, none of them are blood-moving techniques. Blood-moving techniques also have specific methods.

If Su Chen wants to go further, he naturally needs to have corresponding skills, but he has not joined any force and can only rely on his own fusion of skills.

Anyway, that was the case with the original iron shirt, and he was used to it.

Moreover, when Su Chen practiced Hunyuan Gong, he could integrate it into a new skill without the need for a panel.

When the time comes, as long as the iron cloth shirt can be improved, he will become stronger.

"Next, let's focus on studying Qi and Blood Pills!"

Su Chen gathered his thoughts and returned his attention to the research and refining of Qi and Blood Pills.

While Su Chen was refining the elixir day and night, a big event happened in Dafeng City.

Hong Yue led the armored army back in triumph.

He went out to suppress bandits and exterminate religions for half a year, making Hong Yue's reputation resounding throughout Qinzhou.

Now that he has returned in armor, he has naturally caused cheers in Dafeng City.

This is especially true for some people who fled to Qinzhou. The other states were already in turmoil. Only Qinzhou, because of the presence of Hongyue, lived and worked in peace and contentment and became the first choice safe haven for many people who fled.

Upon learning that Hong Yue had returned, ordinary people lined the streets inside and outside the city to welcome him. His reputation could be said to have reached its peak.

Even the city lord had to lead the government officials to personally greet Hong Yue in the city.

The formation battle cannot be said to be without great momentum.

"General Hong, congratulations on your triumphant return!"

Qiao Renzhou cupped his hands and said with a smile, Hong Yue was on par with him in terms of official position, but in terms of military power, he was even more powerful than him.

Although he doesn't have to deal with the Hong family, he still has to do enough on the surface.

Hong Yue did not offend Qiao Renzhou, but cupped his hands and said, "Haha, thank you City Lord Qiao."

After a few pleasantries, the two walked side by side.

The second floor of the restaurant.

Looking at the infinitely beautiful Hong Yue, Wen Qingqiu, a handsome man, was full of contempt. Others didn't know what Hong Yue did. As the leader of the Rebirth Cult, how could he not know?

The so-called suppression of bandits and extermination of religions is just a cover for the Hong family to amass money and wipe out hostile forces.

In Ding Yi's many letters, it can be said that Hong Yue's brutal behavior was fully disclosed.

Thousands of innocent people died at the hands of Hong Yue's army. If we add the people affected, the number would be countless!

Such behavior is worthy of being called a ‘triumphal return’. It is really ridiculous!

"When the messenger sends me a message and the injuries in my body recover, I will give you a surprise for the Hong family!"

After finishing his drink, Wen Qingqiu got up and went downstairs, disappearing into the crowd.

Guandao Station is ten miles away.

Tap tap tap!

A figure galloped on its horse, leaving dust on the ground.

"Babaili, hurry up, get everyone out of my way!"

Everyone who was rushing along the way got out of the way after hearing this voice. They ate a mouthful of dust, but they dared not speak out in anger.

Soon, this figure disappeared from everyone's sight.

evening.

Qiao Qiliang was summoned in a hurry, with a look of confusion on his face.

Walking into the door, he asked in confusion: "Dad, why do you want to give up supporting the Sihai Gang? I have already stabilized!"

Qiao Renzhou did not answer, but pushed the official document on the table to Qiao Qiliang without saying a word.

Seeing this, Qiao Qiliang picked up the official document with a confused look on his face, opened it, and felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his body shaking uncontrollably.

"Dad, how could this happen?!"
