Quickly conquer the martial arts world, and let your fists dominate the heavens!

Chapter 223 In the Southern Martial Arts World, who has the highest martial arts skills?
"We'll arrive at the station soon. It would be great if Poyang could help us get to Longquan. We were just wondering how to get there."

"My master has a boxing gym in Nanchang."

"Let's not trouble him for now; we've used his resources quite a bit lately."

As the two were talking, the people in the carriage all realized that the money was missing, and when someone burned the gold seeds with a match, they turned black and started to bubble.

"The gold is fake, everyone stop fighting!"

"If you don't believe me, test it yourselves!"

As soon as this person shouted, everyone stopped immediately. In fact, they didn't even need to burn it; they could tell by the weight. Gold is dense and heavy, and the gold melon seeds in their hands were obviously not the right weight. They were so caught up in the fight that no one paid any attention.

Once they realized what had happened, and with the money gone, they could see the situation at the train carriage entrance and understand what had happened.

"Those people are thieves. They were just trying to distract us. They were acting, and the golden melon seeds were fake too."

The young man roared, pointing his spear directly at Lin San and his group.

Lin San's face was ashen. He didn't know how his two brothers had fallen; they must have been hit by hidden weapons.

They wanted to leave, but Chen Zhan happened to be standing at the entrance of the carriage, blocking their way out.

Seeing Chen Zhan and Ye Ningzhen talking as if no one else was around, Lin San's face burned with embarrassment. The passengers behind him pressed closer, but dared not make any excessive moves. Someone went to call the train police from the other side.

Lin San's eyes flickered, and he raised his hand from his waist, revealing a jet-black "Mauser Red 9".

The dark muzzle of a gun was pointed at Chen Zhan.

Lin San felt more confident. No matter how powerful or skilled you are, everyone is equal under the gun.

"Get out of the way, let us go." Lin San said, interrupting Ye Ningzhen and Chen Zhan.

When Chen Zhan and Ye Ningzhen were talking, they were naturally looking at each other. Now, when he turned his head and saw the big red fur of the nine, Chen Zhan didn't say anything.

Ye Ningzhen smiled and said, "This gun is rare in the North; it's a good one."

Lin San observed that the two men were calm, but concluded that they were only putting on a brave front and were actually weak inside.

"Of course it's good stuff. I got it from a German guy. You know about this?"

Knowing about Mauser and the "Big Red Nine" shows that Ye Ningzhen is very knowledgeable about guns.

It's called that because the handle is made of wood, which is hard and non-slip. The big red "9" on the handle is painted red to distinguish the caliber.

"Stop talking nonsense and get out of here. Let us go." Lin San's finger was on the trigger, the muzzle raised, pointed to the sky, "Bang bang~"

They fired two shots, making two small holes in the roof of the car.

Chen Zhan and Ye Ningzhen were fine, but the passengers who came forward to get their money back were immediately stunned.

Holy crap, they're really shooting?

Who would dare to step forward now?

The gun was pointed at Chen Zhan again. Seeing the panic, he regained his confidence and remembered the boxes at the feet of Sister Hua and Li Yao.

He chuckled and asked, "Is the box yours?"

He pointed with his other hand at the box at Sister Hua's feet, which was very close.

"Yes."

"What's inside?"

"Gold and silver jewelry".

"Gold and silver jewelry? You're packing it in this shabby leather case? You're kidding me!" Lin San didn't believe it.

Chen Zhan shook his head, not wanting to waste any more words. He moved with his shadow, and Lin San, not expecting Chen Zhan to suddenly make a move, immediately pulled the trigger.

He wasn't completely ignorant of martial arts; there were also experts in the Poyang Gang, so it wasn't unbelievable that he could avoid the gun at close range.

He considered that if he couldn't hit Chen Zhan, he would move the gun barrel and aim at Ye Ningzhen instead.

But to everyone's surprise, the gun didn't fire.
Lin San thought there was something wrong with the gun, so he pulled the trigger again, only to find that it wasn't the gun that was the problem, but rather that there was a finger inside the trigger.

"This gun is good, keep it," Ye Ningzhen said urgently.

If she doesn't speak up, then Mauser and Browning will all just become a lump of iron.

"Row."

With a flick of his finger, Chen Zhan released the Mauser pistol, which flew toward Ye Ningzhen.

Lin San had no idea what had happened. Everything happened in the blink of an eye. The gun was gone, and the next instant, his arm was severed.

"Kaka~"

The pain was even slower to come through than the visual sensation of a broken arm.

"Ah~!!!"

"You! The Poyang Gang will not let you go. You just wait."

Chen Zhan smiled helplessly, "Generally speaking, this is a threat left behind after running away, right? You don't really think you can get away with this, do you?"

Chen Zhan moved too fast. The man and woman behind Lin San, who were the student and teacher from before, were dumbfounded.

I don't know what to say at this moment.

However, just then, gunshots were heard from the carriages behind. Several armed police officers rushed over and, seeing the situation, the passengers explained the whole story without Chen Zhan needing to. The lost money was on the individuals, and they were caught red-handed.

However, upon hearing that they were from the Poyang Gang, the three train police officers noticeably lost some of their momentum.

Chen Zhan didn't say much, only saying, "You can take the others with you, but leave this one with me."

One of the train police officers seemed reluctant, but the other, an older man, grabbed him and said, "Are you crazy? Didn't you read the newspaper? Don't you recognize this man?"

Several train police officers, including Lin San, glanced at Chen Zhan a few more times before remembering that they had seen him in the newspaper a month ago.

Chen Zhan is an absolutely well-known figure nationwide.

It was featured on the front page multiple times.

The first time was when the Nationalist government announced the news; the second time was when Chen Zhan set up the challenge.

The leader of the martial arts alliance dominated the north, and after ten days of holding a challenge, no one could withstand ten moves from Chen Zhan.

The Nationalist government officially reported it only twice.

But various tabloids and local newspapers reported on it countless times, some even exaggerating:
"Chen Zhan single-handedly swept through thirteen martial arts schools in the capital, leaving the city in a bloodbath; all those who refused to submit were to die."

"They turned on each other, killing their own senior brother without any regard for the dignity of Sun Lutang, the sect leader."

"He wasn't satisfied with the capital, so he went all the way to Nankai University. Luckily, Li Shuwen intervened and stopped him." Chen Zhan was exasperated by this report. Going to Tianjin without disguising himself would definitely have resulted in recognition, but saying he went all the way to Nankai University was a bit far-fetched.
These reports made him a household name in the North, but the news didn't spread as quickly in the South.

So at first, Lin San just felt that the face looked somewhat familiar.

It wasn't until the train police recognized him that they remembered who he was.

Even if he scoffed at the newspaper reports, if he had recognized Chen Zhan earlier, he wouldn't have been so arrogant as to think he could deal with him.

Even if it's just an empty title, he's still the leader of the martial arts alliance.
A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

But it's too late now.
The train police recognized Chen Zhan and immediately understood what to do. Chen Zhan keeping Lin San behind meant that the Poyang Gang was in trouble.

These habitual offenders, whether they succeed or not, always have someone to meet them when the train arrives at the station.

The few people taken away by the train police will at most spend a few days in jail, which is already a great thing under the circumstances.

It would be bad luck if it fell into Chen Zhan's hands.

Lin San's arm was broken, but Chen Zhan ignored him and said a few more words to Sister Hua and the other two.

"If you encounter any tough opponents in the remaining two days, don't bother with them. Just give them the goods and ask for their names."

"That won't do. You went through so much trouble to get your hands on this."

Before Sister Hua could speak, Bai Wu immediately objected. He had already become Chen Zhan's disciple, and his mind was now completely from the disciple's perspective.

"If you're told to give, then give. I'm just worried about not being able to establish my authority in the South. If everyone is so polite, I'll feel embarrassed if I rip off other people's restaurants."

Chen Zhan said calmly.

Bai Wu wasn't stupid; he understood Chen Zhan's meaning and clapped his hands, exclaiming, "So that's how it is!"

After exchanging a few words, the car arrived at the station. Chen Zhan carried Lin San off the car, and they were immediately met with stares.

Several pairs of eyes looked over and stared intently, but no one made a move at the station. Chen Zhan walked out of the station, and together with Lin San, the four of them headed for a secluded and quiet place.

After turning through several alleys and walking for half a day, I was finally stopped by people from both the front and back.

"The Poyang Gang is really cautious. Such a big gang, yet they're quite timid. That's why they only made a move now." The little fox was getting a bit tired from following Chen Zhan.

Chen Zhan smiled but didn't say anything.

Lin San sighed, having resigned himself to his fate. The Poyang Gang was powerful, but it couldn't compare to Chen Zhan, the leader of the martial arts alliance.

"Sigh, if that kid hadn't discovered us early and kept us occupied, the alliance leader probably wouldn't have made a move, right?"

"You didn't hurt anyone, so you left and that's that."

Actually, these people are very cautious in their actions; otherwise, they wouldn't have made so many preparations beforehand, such as shouting "Stop thief!" and scattering fake gold seeds.

But once he was caught, his viciousness was revealed, and he became ruthless.

They are disciplined, bold, and cautious.

This style of work shows that the Poyang Gang is large-scale and disciplined.

But none of that matters. Three people each from the front and back of the alley slowly surrounded them.

"Release our people."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhan actually released Lin San without using any threats.

"Ok?"

The six people were shocked.
The man in black was somewhat bewildered.
Do you think my words carry so much weight?
Lin San dragged his arm and had only taken a few steps when Chen Zhan also disappeared.

The next second, the man in black understood why Chen Zhan had let Lin San go.
Five seconds later, six people were lying on the ground groaning in pain, and only Lin San was still standing.
"Lin San! Who have you offended?!"

"Brother Hei, didn't you see? This is the new leader of the martial arts alliance, Master Chen."

"."

It was dusk, and the alley was dimly lit. Moreover, Chen Zhan only said one sentence before making his move. Who could recognize him?

"The Poyang Gang should be in Nanchang, right? Let's go check out your gang."

Chen Zhan's words frightened the group so much that they dared not wail.

"Sir, it can't be that bad. We're not guilty of anything that warrants death," the young man in black said, trembling.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you."

"lead the way."

Lin San had no choice but to lead the way while clutching his arm, with Chen Zhan and the other two following behind.

The Poyang Gang is more like a family than a gang, with grand mansions and shouts of martial arts practice that can be heard as soon as you get close.

Lin San went over and banged on the door.

Soon a man emerged, over fifty years old, with sharp eyes. He glanced at Lin San, then at the six men behind Chen Zhan, and saw their miserable state.

"Did we fail?"

"We've really hit a wall."

He stared intently at Chen Zhan, his gaze flickering for a moment before he immediately stepped forward: "I am Li Feiying, the second-in-command of the Poyang Gang. Greetings, Alliance Leader. What brings you to the South?"

Their attitude immediately corrected, and they refused to mention Chen Zhan's injury.

"The integration of the martial arts world in the north is almost complete; it's time for the south to take its turn," Chen Zhan said with a faint smile.

The man was surprised that Chen Zhan was so direct, saying that he wanted to clean up the martial arts world and start with the Poyang Gang. Did he intend to make an example of them?

"you"

"Don't worry, I won't target you. You're just small fry, it's not worth it."

"."

Whether to be thankful or saddened by this statement, Chen Zhan truly looked down on such small gangs.

"Then what is this?"

"Your men attacked me on the train, so I taught them a lesson. I also need to trouble you with two other things."

"Please tell us, please tell us, we will definitely do what we can."

These words sounded like an excuse, but Chen didn't care. The group entered the main hall, poured tea, and drank it before Chen Zhan said:
"I've heard that in the martial arts world of the South, there's a saying: 'One Hero, Two Grandmasters, Three Heroes of Wing Chun, Four Fierce Masters of Hung Kuen, and Five Tiger Generals of the South'?"

"Whose martial arts are the best?"
