My Apprentice Is Too Diligent

Chapter 11: Seize the Initiative

"What does the leader mean?" a square-faced man asked in a low voice.

On the side, other high-ranking members of the Bear Gang leaned in to listen.

"It's simple. Chen Wuji and his Hidden Dragon Gate will accompany the second-in-command to his grave!" Xiong Zengtong said coldly.

"Should we take action now?" the square-faced man asked again.

"Are you stupid?" Xiong Zengtong glanced at him. "Didn't you see the people from the county government?"

Outside the crowd, several men dressed as constables looked on from a distance.

The high-ranking members of the Bear Gang looked up, then withdrew their gaze.

"Let's go back first," Xiong Zengtong shouted coldly. "We'll settle this tonight."

After speaking, he turned and walked down from the high platform.

The other high-ranking members of the Bear Gang quickly followed.

...

"They left?" Chen Wuji watched as Xiong Zengtong and his group left, realizing what was happening.

Keeping a calm facade, he withdrew his gaze and looked at the man in the robe, saying calmly, "Were you also planning to challenge me just now?"

"N-no..." The man in the robe trembled, coming back to his senses. He shook his head and stammered, "It was a m-misunderstanding. I was just joking. Chen Master, your Iron Fist is unparalleled."

"Hah, now it's just a joke? Weren't you saying earlier that my master wasn't qualified?" Han Ying sneered.

"Well... well..." The man in the robe turned pale, trembling and sweating profusely. With a thud, he knelt on the ground.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I have a big mouth, I deserve to die!"

Slap! Slap! Slap!

While slapping himself, he begged for forgiveness.

The onlookers fell silent, shocked and realizing the purpose of their presence here. They quickly dispersed and ran away.

Within three breaths, they had all fled.

Only the man in the robe, kneeling and begging for forgiveness, and a few constables remained.

"The boss will stay and communicate with the officials. The rest of you go back and practice," Chen Wuji said, ignoring the man in the robe. He turned and walked up the steps, returning to the Chen Family courtyard.

"Yes, Master!" Su Dayong bowed and stepped forward to greet the constables.

First, they had to clean up the body of Luo Butu, and second, they had to explain the reasons.

Although Luo Butu died in a challenge, it was a pointless death.

The constables understood this as well.

Robutu, who had reached the peak of the Body Refining Seventh Layer, was killed by Chen Wuji with three punches.

Even if they had the courage, they wouldn't dare to lay a hand on Chen Wuji.

...

Chen Wuji returned to the training room and continued his cultivation.

Killing Luo Butu was difficult, but hiding his true strength was even more challenging.

He couldn't let Xiong Zengtong see that he had already reached the Body Refining Eighth Layer.

But judging from Xiong Zengtong's departure, Chen Wuji knew that he had caught his attention.

Without a doubt, this guy would come knocking at his door tonight!

Passive defense was not what Chen Wuji pursued.

Since Xiong Zeng came to find him and wanted him dead, Chen Wuji had nothing to worry about.

...

As soon as it got dark.

He changed into his night clothes, covered his face with a cloth, and held a bai duan treasure knife with a sheath in his hand. He also put a few small vials in his pocket.

Chen Wuji climbed over the wall and left the Chen Family courtyard, stepping on the rooftops and swiftly flying towards the Xiong Gang's base.

After arriving at his destination, he put a specially made hard candy in his mouth, opened a small porcelain bottle, and let strands of colorless gas escape from the bottle, swirling around his body.

Swoosh!

He jumped off the wall and displayed his agility, moving like a snake as he maneuvered through the Xiong Gang's base.

As his speed increased, his agility reached its peak.

While moving around, he deliberately avoided areas with lights.

He passed by the members of the Xiong Gang, almost unnoticed.

But wherever he went, one after another, Xiong Gang members fell to the ground.

Zui Linglong!

Like Zui Chunfeng, it was a treasured possession of the Chen Family.

However, the name of Zui Chunfeng's wine was famous not only in White Water County, but also in the surrounding counties.

On the other hand, only the members of the Chen Family knew about Zui Linglong.

It was basically something his father told him on his deathbed.

Because Zui Linglong was a terrifying poison!

Colorless and odorless, as light as the wind.

Once someone inhaled it, they would fall into a deep sleep within three breaths at the shortest, or die in their dreams within one breath at the fastest.

A painless and ignorant death in their sleep!

The only antidote was the candy in Chen Wuji's mouth.

The Xiong Gang's base was quite large.

If he wanted to kill them one by one without causing a commotion, especially killing Xiong Zeng, the best way was to do it silently.

Using poison became the best choice.

Chen Wuji was well aware of the terrifying lethality of Zui Linglong.

In fact, it didn't work very well in open spaces.

Its maximum effectiveness could only be achieved in enclosed spaces.

Chen Wuji relied on his perfect Winding Snake Steps to increase his speed and agility to the strongest level, allowing him to break into the Xiong Gang alone, moving through the crowd of Xiong Gang members, poisoning and incapacitating one after another.

Tonight, there were unusually many people gathered in the Xiong Gang.

And they all held weapons, exuding a murderous aura.

Chen Wuji knew who they were preparing for.

Therefore, without any hesitation, he increased his speed to the maximum and brushed past groups of Xiong Gang members.

Silently, one after another, Xiong Gang members fell to the ground.

When Xiong Zeng noticed something was wrong.

He came out of the house, his angry roar echoing through the courtyard, but Chen Wuji had already successfully incapacitated ninety percent of the Xiong Gang members.

The remaining people huddled around Xiong Zeng, looking at Chen Wuji in fear.

"Everyone hold your breath!"

Xiong Zeng shouted in a low voice, his fiery eyes fixed on Chen Wuji, angrily saying, "Who are you? How dare you kill me..."

"Hoo!"

Chen Wuji didn't waste any words and flew straight towards him...
