infodatos Chapter 12 Cao Li
Chapter 12 Cao Li
"Zhao An is here!"
Upon hearing this, a group of thugs at a nearby teahouse immediately put down their teacups and aggressively blocked the entrance and exit of the alley.
"Oh no, Brother Zhao, someone's plotting against you!" Seeing that his escape route was blocked, even though he had expected it, Li Gou'er still panicked subconsciously, after all, the other party had a large number of people.
Zhao An looked over and a smile crept onto his face.
"So that's where it was all."
The group of thugs who had cornered them in the alley now had red markings on their foreheads.
The leader had a hideous scar on his face that ran through one eye, nose, and lip, leaving him with only one eye to look at people.
This man was no ordinary person; he was a veteran member of the Python Gang, named Cao Li.
When this person is mentioned, most of the leaders of the Tiger Head Gang sitting in the main hall will change color and feel fear.
This is because he is widely recognized as a vicious and reckless madman.
"Oh no, it's Cao Li..." Li Gou'er looked at the hideous scar on the other man's face and recognized him. He was so frightened that his legs went weak.
Cao Li squinted his one eye, also sizing up Zhao An.
"What a greenhorn! I really don't know how he passed those three tests that day."
"The gang leader has ordered that Zhao An be hacked to death today!"
Cao Li didn't waste any words, nor did he intend to fight Zhao An one-on-one. With a wave of his hand, a group of red-named thugs from the gang rushed towards Zhao An.
They mostly carried short sticks, with a few knives mixed in occasionally, and showed no fear of Zhao An.
After all, no matter how powerful Zhao An is, even if he can pass the three tests, it is still only his ability to fight alone.
In such a chaotic brawl, no matter how strong Zhao An was, it would be useless; a few blows to the head would have been enough to kill him.
The residents of the alley also closed their doors and windows tightly, fearing that the upcoming fight between the two groups would affect them.
Zhao An showed no fear in the face of the charging pack of red-named wolves. Instead of dodging, he drew his large ring-bladed sword and calmly stepped forward.
As one of the Python Gang members reached Zhao An first, Zhao An stepped forward at just the right moment, and with a seemingly light stroke, his knife grazed Zhao An's arm.
The Python Gang member was caught completely off guard and had his throat slit by the blade.
Then Zhao An suddenly tilted to the side, twirled his long knife in a flourish, and slashed off the neck of another member of the Python Gang.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao An took down two people. His movements became even more ferocious, like a tiger whose ferocity was aroused by blood. He thrust forward with his feet, dodging the falling shadows of clubs, and at the same time swung his knife with force.
He slashed down three people in front of him with a single blow!
He turned around and struck again, cleaving the man in the face, killing another one!
Zhao An's footwork was quite sophisticated, and his sword techniques, coordinated with his movements, were extremely sharp!
With each stab, at least one person falls to the ground dead!
hum!
The blade roared like a tiger, and many members of the Python Gang heard its sound, which chilled them to the bone.
In no time, Zhao An cut through the ranks and arrived in front of the one-eyed dragon.
Cao Li looked surprised, then suddenly exclaimed, "You're a martial arts master?!"
Zhao An did not answer. Before Cao Li could raise his sword to respond, he had already struck first.
The internal energy within him surged through his body, flowing to the hand holding the knife, where it combined with his overall strength to erupt.
The next moment, the long sword slashed through, and Cao Li's body was split in two from the chest, with his internal organs and blood flowing all over the ground!
Cao Li's eyes widened. He wanted to say something, but blood filled his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.
He recognized Zhao An's swordsmanship as fierce as a tiger descending a mountain; it was clearly Zhou Hu's Fierce Tiger Blade!
The question is how Zhao An learned it; there has never been any indication that Zhou Hu intended to personally teach it to others.
You must know that this is a martial art of the entry-level grade, which Zhou Hu himself treasures extremely. How could he possibly teach it so easily like a martial arts master from a martial arts academy?
Most importantly, before he died, he was convinced that this young man had already entered the realm of martial arts master!
"Good lad, he's been hiding his true abilities so well..."
Cao Li's mind was in a daze, and he breathed his last before he could think any further.
[Those who have committed numerous evils will be accepted as sinful souls!]
Another soul was taken into Zhao An's soul pool. Together with the nine red-named members of the Python Gang that he had just killed, he could soon add ten more soul slaves to his arsenal!
The once empty Soul Pool gradually became crowded with people.
For Zhao An, this was naturally excellent.
Acquiring more Soul Slaves, especially high-quality ones, will better help him continuously increase his strength!
Although he has now entered the ranks of martial arts masters, it is only the beginning for him.
After all, he has only been here for a few days since he transmigrated.
The world is in turmoil, wars are frequent, and many natural and man-made disasters are hidden in the chaos. Ninety-nine percent of people will be swept up by the trend and sink into the turbulent waves.
To survive in this situation, and even to have more freedom of choice, the only way is to become stronger.
As long as he is stronger than anyone else, no one can threaten him!
Zhao An was very fortunate that this world allowed people to practice martial arts and possess extraordinary and powerful strength!
"Brother Zhao!" Zhao Chunzi, carrying a short stick, rushed to Zhao An's side.
Just as Zhao An made his move, he noticed that this younger brother from the same village was also desperately following him, fighting fiercely against the Python Gang members.
At this moment, Zhao Chunzi was panting heavily, blood was still flowing from his head, and he had been hit several times on the body, looking rather miserable.
Li Gou'er was initially hesitant, but in the end he gritted his teeth and followed Zhao An. He was also injured, but he looked better than Zhao Chunzi.
Compared to those who run away at the first sign of trouble, his two underlings, though of average ability, are still quite capable. At least they didn't flee in defeat and were willing to stay by their leader's side and stand by him through thick and thin.
"Go and search them for all their money," Zhao An ordered.
"Alright." Zhao Chunzi still had the energy to act, and without saying another word, she went to touch the corpse.
Li Gou'er still looked terrified, staring at Cao Li's body, which was broken in two, on the ground.
"Brother Zhao, this time we're really locked in a life-or-death struggle with that Python Gang..."
Cao Li held an extremely high position within the Python Gang. In the eyes of all gang members, this man was once a powerful and influential figure.
To Li Gou'er, dying under the blade of Zhao An, a junior, felt somewhat unreal.
Cao Li is dead?!
When he came to his senses, he realized that there was no room for maneuver between them and the Python Gang.
The next time they come knocking, it's very likely that Xu Donglai will lead dozens or even hundreds of thugs to surround and intercept them.
If the Tiger Head Gang doesn't back them up, will they be able to withstand the attack?
Let alone Xu Donglai being a legitimate martial arts master, those hundreds of gang thugs could drown the three of them with a single spit from each of them!
Thinking of this, Li Gou'er became even more flustered.
