From a beggar on South Street to the supreme devil

Chapter 19 Black Street
Compared to his previous skinny body.

Jiang Chen's body, which had now reached the peak of skin refining, already had a clear muscle outline.

The skin is thick, the muscles are smooth, and the height has grown a lot.

He was very thin before he started practicing martial arts, but in just one or two months, he grew almost a head taller.

The overall changes are very clear, and the sturdy body even exudes a faint sense of oppression.

"Tsk, tsk."

Jiang Chen stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked at himself for a while.

Then he put on his clothes with satisfaction, walked out of the yard, and came to a wasteland on the edge of Shun'anfang.

He prepared to follow the previous method to test the changes in his strength and speed after breaking through to the Bronze Skin level.

Soon, Jiang Chen found a rock weighing about three hundred kilograms and lifted it easily.

I roughly estimate that my strength has increased by 200 kilograms, which is almost doubled.

In terms of speed, the speed of the 100-meter run has reached ten seconds.

Compared with the substantial increase in strength, speed has only increased a fraction.

The changes were not significant, but Jiang Chen was not surprised.

Although the knowledge learned in the previous life has long been returned to the teacher,

But he also knew that increasing speed was very difficult and it was definitely impossible to increase it in the same proportion as strength.

As long as there is improvement, it will be fine.

Jiang Chen then picked up a long iron stick and hit the rock he had just found!
"boom!"

With a loud bang, it exploded in the wasteland.

The entire boulder broke into pieces, and fine gravel mixed with soil scattered all over the sky.

……

Looking at the rubble scattered all over the sky, Jiang Chen felt quite satisfied.

Then he thought about his own level of strength.

Among all the runners in Shun'anfang, only half of them have reached the level of Bronze Skin.

And there is not even a single person who has reached the highest level in martial arts.

In addition, the [Subduing Tiger Stick Technique] is stronger than ordinary martial arts.
My current strength should have surpassed that of most of the Shun'anfang runners.

Maybe I can come into contact with Kong Ye, who has perfect copper skin.

It's hard to say who wins and who loses.
But an ordinary bronze-skinned warrior is definitely not his opponent...

Jiang Chen pondered in his heart.

Having a rough idea of ​​his current strength, he put away the fine iron staff, left the wasteland, returned to the bedroom in the courtyard, and began today's practice of the Blood-Moving and Breathing Method.

After breaking through to the Bronze Skin level, the efficiency of gaining experience has decreased a lot.

Previously, when he used the Jade Skin Tempering Liquid as an aid, he could gain fifteen experience points every hour.

But now, even with the use of the Jade Skin Tempering Liquid, I can only barely reach ten points of experience.

Fortunately, with the improvement of my cultivation level during this period, and the continuous use of the Qi and blood medicine provided by Lao Qian, the strength of my Qi and blood has also been steadily improving.

Jiang Chen's energy and blood are now sufficient to support him in practicing the Blood Moving and Breathing Method for three hours every day.

This means 30 experience points a day.

If he continues to practice for more than a month, he will be able to achieve bronze skin perfection.

……

More than ten days later.

"Dong dong dong..."

A crisp knock on the door sounded outside the courtyard.

At this moment, Jiang Chen was practicing the Tiger Subduing Stick Technique in the courtyard.

Hearing the knock on the door, he had no choice but to stop practicing and open the gate.

A middle-aged man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks stood outside the courtyard gate.

Jiang Chen didn't know this person, and asked doubtfully: "Who are you..."

The man smiled and said, "Master Jiang, I am Song Hai from the Shuiqingfang Black Street Gang next door. My gang leader has something to ask, so I would like to invite you to my house to talk."

Shuiqingfang street gang?

Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

During the two months he worked as a runner in Shun'anfang Yamen, he gradually became familiar with the other runners besides Kong Ye.

Through the conversation, I also learned about the situation in Shunanfang and several neighboring districts.

Among the three sects in Yanyang, the Longhu Sect and the Liuguang Sect have always had old grudges.

Shun'anfang is the territory of the Longhu Sect, while the neighboring Shuiqingfang is the territory of the Liuguang Sect.

The friction between the two factions will naturally affect the relationship between the two yamen.

Naturally, the relationship between the two yamen was very bad, and there were even several fights between police officers. Since this so-called black street gang was a gang in Shuiqingfang, it must be a subsidiary force of Liuguang Sect.

What could this group of people want from me?
Jiang Chen frowned and said, "No, if you have anything to say, just talk here."

"This……"

Song Hai was stunned for a moment, and lowered his voice helplessly:
"Then I'll be frank. You know Gao Wei, the former head of South Street, right?"

"He did business with our Black Street Gang before, and sent some people here for 500 Wen each...but unexpectedly, the people died suddenly..."

"But the person has died, and the business has to go on. It's five hundred coins to send one person away. What do you think of this matter..."

Jiang Chen's eyelids twitched after hearing this.

So it was you bastards who were trafficking in human beings?
He did not forget that he was almost kidnapped and sold by Gao Wei.

Jiang Chen looked at him expressionlessly: "I don't want to do this business, get out."

"This……"

The man wanted to speak again, but he saw Jiang Chen's unfriendly eyes and a hint of murderous aura emanating from him.

He quickly shut up and said with a smile: "Since you don't want to, forget it. I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Jiang Chen looked at his back and frowned slightly.

What do these street gangs want to do by trafficking in human beings?
A few beggars, offering such a high price...

He thought for a while and left the yard.

Then he went to Shun'anfang Yamen and told Captain Xing about the matter.

No matter what they want to do, it's always a good idea to report it first.

……

Shuiqingfang, Hei Street, is a few miles away from Nan Street.

The Black Street Gang’s headquarters is located at the entrance of Black Street.

There are many such gangs in the 108 districts of the outer city. They are not very powerful, but they can grow and develop by relying on the government offices in the district.

The same is true for this black street gang, which is attached to Yu Yanghua, the head of the Shuiqingfang government office.

In just a few years, it has grown and developed in Shuiqingfang and already has dozens of strong thugs.

now.

Inside the hall, there were several armchairs placed in the room.

Black Street Gang leader Qi Cang and deputy leader Zhao Dacheng are currently discussing in the hall.

Deputy gang leader Zhao Dacheng is a strong man.

He looked up at the sky and said, "Old Song should have found Jiang Chen. I wonder what the situation is like?"

As he spoke, Zhao Dacheng turned his head and looked at the gang leader Qi Cang who was sitting on the first seat.

"Boss, do you think that guy named Jiang Chen will agree to our business?"

The gang leader Qi Cang had a thin face, and at the corner of his left eye, there was a deep scar that ran all the way from the corner of his eye to the base of his ear.

He sat in the first seat with a sinister look on his face.

"Who cares if he agrees or not? We have to agree whether he agrees or not!"

"Right now in Yanyang City, only these South Street beggars don't have household registration, so it's easy to target them."

"The mine said that if you send a head over, you will get two taels of silver!"

"Two taels per person! How many beggars are there in South Street? It's enough for us to make a fortune!"

Having said that, Qi Cang licked his lips excitedly, and the scar at the corner of his eye looked even more hideous.

"So, if this kid agrees, it's fine. Giving him some money is not a big deal."

"If he doesn't agree... then don't blame me for being rude!"

When Zhao Dacheng heard this, he seemed a little hesitant.

"Do you want to take action? But the Shunanfang government office behind him..."

Qi Cang waved his hand.

"What are you afraid of? The government officials have to patrol the streets every night. We can kill him under the cover of darkness, and then disguise ourselves as monsters and attack at night. No one will know."

Zhao Dacheng was still a little hesitant: "But he is a disciple of the Dragon and Tiger Sect after all, his strength..."

Those who can pass the selection of the three yamen are considered to be one in a hundred geniuses, and their strength should not be underestimated.

Qi Cang grinned, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

"Oh, what can a disciple of the Dragon and Tiger Sect do?"

"This kid has only been a police officer for a few months. He just broke through to the bronze skin level a while ago and hasn't even touched martial arts yet."

"I am a great master of bronze skin, so killing him is a piece of cake, isn't it?"
