Chapter 22: The Evil And Sinister Martial Art

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“A bunch of despicable people. How hateful!”

He Lingxue was shocked and angry when she found out that her father and the higher-ups of the escort agency had their internal energy sucked dry.

The evil internal energy absorbing skill was a taboo in the pugilistic world. Anyone who cultivated it would be surrounded and killed by the orthodox sects.

He Lingxue did not expect the bandit chief of Black Wind Stockade to cultivate that.

On the other hand, Zhang Xuan’s heart skipped a beat. In the past two years, he had also obtained many cultivation techniques, but this was the first time he had heard of the evil internal energy absorbing technique.

“Lingxue, how did you and Zhang Xuan end up in their hands?”

He Yushan asked the question in his heart.

The two of them had escaped a calamity, so why were they still captured?

“Father, I’m sorry. I’m useless…”

He Lingxue sobbed and told him what had happened.

Upon hearing this, He Yushan coughed violently and clenched his fists.

“Fools! You’re too stupid. How can you trust them so easily?”

How could they so easily believe the mountain bandit’s words?

Furthermore, they had already fallen into the hands of the mountain bandits. How could those murderous beasts let them off?

If He Lingxue, Zhang Xuan, and the others were not caught, there might still be a chance to save them.

Now that they had been captured, their chances of survival were even smaller.

However, He Yushan was very touched to hear from his daughter that Zhang Xuan was loyal to the escort agency.

Even though he knew that he would die if he was captured, Zhang Xuan still accompanied He Lingxue without hesitation. This friendship was really rare.

“Zhang Xuan, if we can escape this calamity alive, we will be a family in the future!”

He Yushan, who was touched by Zhang Xuan’s loyalty, said seriously.

He had indeed chosen the right person!

Not only was Zhang Xuan capable, but he was also good at dealing with people.

Hearing this, He Lingxue did not object like before. Instead, she looked at Zhang Xuan with a complicated gaze.

The person she trusted the most had betrayed the escort agency and caused the entire escort agency to fall into eternal damnation.

Zhang Xuan, whom she had always disliked, did not care about her previous actions. This made He Lingxue feel guilty towards Zhang Xuan.

It turned out that she had been wrong all along!

Her father was the one with the best taste!

However, Zhang Xuan did not care about this. He pretended not to hear He Yunshan’s words and did not respond.

After all, he already had a plan in mind. After settling this problem, it would be time for him to leave the escort agency.

Zhang Xuan’s attention was focused on the dungeon. Although he could not see the surroundings above the dungeon, with his Connate Realm cultivation, he could clearly sense everything that was happening above.

In the hall of the Black Wind Stockade.

At that moment, there were long tables filled with fine wine and delicacies. A group of mountain bandits indulged in fine wine and delicacies as they shouted and laughed.

On the main seat, a few higher-ups of the Black Wind Stockade sat beside the bandit chief. All of them looked very excited.

This sneak attack on the Dragon Gate Escort Agency had made them rich. How could these people not be excited?

After all, the Dragon Gate Escort Agency was the largest escort agency in Lin’an City. The businesses they did were all high-ranking officials and nobilities. They were very rich.

The gains this time were comparable to their total gains in the past one or two years.

Especially when He Yushan and the escorts were all wiped out, the strength of the bandit chief of the Black Wind Stockade increased greatly.

“Chief, congratulations on winning and taking down the Dragon Gate Escort Agency in one go.”

Li Feng, who was beside the bandit chief, squeezed out a fawning smile and said.

The bandit chief was very satisfied with Li Feng’s flattery. He patted his shoulder and smiled.

“You contributed greatly to the easy takeover of the Dragon Gate Escort Agency this time. Tell me what reward you want.”

After all, the Dragon Gate Escort Agency had nearly 100 escorts, and the chief escort, He Yushan, was a first-rate expert like him. In terms of foundation, the Black Wind Stockade was actually slightly inferior to the Dragon Gate Escort Agency.

If it wasn’t for Li Feng cooperating from the inside and poisoning He Yushan and the others, they wouldn’t have had the chance to wipe out the Dragon Gate Escort Agency in one fell swoop.

Li Feng had contributed to the Black Wind Stockade, so the rewards he should receive couldn’t be any less.

After all, these mountain bandits had gathered together for benefits. As the bandit chief of Black Wind Stockade, he could not disappoint his subordinates.

Upon hearing this, Li Feng’s expression immediately lit up. He hurriedly said, “Thank you, Chief. Forget about the reward. I only want He Lingxue.”

The reason why Li Feng had poisoned He Yushan and the others was because he was jealous of Zhang Xuan. He had taken the risk to get He Lingxue.

Now that the plan had been successfully completed, it was time for him to enjoy it.

“He Lingxue is still very useful to me. Change to another reward.”

The bandit chief frowned and directly rejected Li Feng’s request.

Even he was moved by He Lingxue’s beauty. How could he give it to Li Feng?

Even if Li Feng had contributed a lot, it was impossible for the bandit chief to give up the beauty he coveted to Li Feng in order to win people’s hearts.

Li Feng’s expression froze. However, no matter how dissatisfied he was with the bandit chief, he didn’t dare to show it. He could only retreat and ask for some other rewards.

Halfway through the celebration banquet, the bandit chief got up and left, arriving at the dungeon.

The reason why he could dominate the vicinity of Lin’an City and no one dared to provoke him was because of his powerful strength. At any time, he would strengthen himself first.

When He Lingxue and Zhang Xuan were brought into the village, he noticed that Zhang Xuan was a second-rate expert and could be used to improve himself.

Seeing the bandit chief suddenly appear, He Lingxue looked at him warily and asked, “What are you doing?”

Seeing He Lingxue’s angry and nervous expression, the bandit chief laughed.

“Little beauty, don’t be anxious. I’ll come and find you after I deal with this kid.”

After the bandit chief finished speaking, he carried Zhang Xuan away and walked deeper into the dungeon.

On the other hand, Zhang Xuan had a calm expression as he allowed the bandit chief to lead him into a sealed room.

Not only was he not nervous or uneasy, but a playful sneer flashed across his lips.

After learning from He Yushan that the bandit chief cultivated an evil martial art. He guessed that the bandit chief would definitely look for him. This was a good opportunity for him.

“You guys stand guard outside.”

After the bandit chief finished speaking to his two confidants, he closed the door.

The sealed room was not big and empty, exuding a sinister aura.

While Zhang Xuan was sizing up the sealed room, the bandit chief stared at him and sneered.

“Kid, being my nourishment is the greatest honor in your life.”

He sneered and formed complicated hand seals with both hands, preparing to absorb Zhang Xuan’s internal energy with the evil technique.

At this moment, Zhang Xuan suddenly chuckled.

“Honor? You think too highly of yourself?”

Zhang Xuan’s internal energy erupted and instantly broke through his acupoints.

Before the bandit chief could react, Zhang Xuan flipped his hands and grabbed the bandit chief’s arm, using his internal energy to control him.

Everything happened too quickly. By the time the bandit chief reacted, he realized that he could not move. This made the bandit chief’s smile freeze on his face, and panic flashed across his eyes.
