Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

The masked demon man calls for help.

Whether it was Li Changsheng or the others in the Canal Gang, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

These five late-stage Innate Realm masters have already put enormous pressure on their entire Canal Gang.

If it weren't for Li Changqing, the entire Cao Gang of Shanhai County might have been wiped out.

Does the opponent have another plan?

What level of strength do they have in their backup plan? Or are they hiding many experts?

Regardless of the type, it was enough to make everyone's hearts pound.

"You don't need to call out anymore, he won't come out!"

Li Changqing flicked the sleeves of his long robe and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the masked man's voice carried a hint of urgency.

"Impossible, don't try to sow discord."

He continued to shout.

But no matter how loud his voice was, no one stood up.

"A bunch of petty thieves will naturally scatter like birds and beasts when faced with danger."

Nan Zhentian's complexion had improved considerably, and he sneered disdainfully.

Putting his own situation aside for the time being.

These guys in front of me don't even dare to reveal their real identities.

Nan Zhentian was certain that they were temporary partners.

This means that they cannot be of one mind!

If people are not united, they will naturally not stand up for each other in times of crisis.

Unlike the brothers of the Grand Canal Gang.

They spent every day together, and the entire canal gang was everyone's source of strength; they didn't want to watch the canal gang perish.

That's how we achieved the scene of everyone working together with one heart and one mind.

It's clear that these men in black couldn't possibly have such a relationship.

Just as Nan Zhentian was speaking, the disciples of the Cao Gang behind him began to gather around.

Even Du Daniu, who was originally hiding in the thatched hut, left the thatched hut and gathered in the direction of Nan Zhentian.

The situation has changed now.

The advantage no longer belonged to the men in black, but to their own gang.

As the crowd drew closer to Nan Zhentian, a strange glint flashed in Li Changqing's eyes as he stood on the large ship.

A figure suddenly rushed out from the crowd.

He moved with lightning speed, arriving behind Nan Zhentian before anyone else could react.

"Damn it!"

Li Changsheng's attention was originally drawn to the masked man and the masked man.

I can't devote too much attention to other people.

So he waited until that figure got closer to Nan Zhentian.

Li Changsheng finally realized what was happening.

The throwing knife in his hand emitted a chilling, eerie light.

"call out!"

The throwing knife shot out and arrived in front of the figure in the blink of an eye.

The man looked at the flying knife so close to his eyes, but neither dodged nor avoided it.

He raised his hand and gently flicked his sleeve.

"Ping!"

Before the throwing knife even got close, it seemed to be obstructed by an invisible barrier and was deflected.

"Vice Chief Li, please show mercy!"

That voice was extremely familiar to everyone in the Canal Gang.

"Du Daniu, what's wrong with you?"

"Release the gang leader right now! Don't you care about the lives of your entire family?"

Who else could it be but Du Daniu who kidnapped Nan Zhentian and flicked away Li Changsheng's flying knife?

Despite his low strength, Du Daniu was quite popular within the canal gang.

He spent most of his time working alongside Li Changqing, doing odd jobs and running errands. Young in age, but with a promising future…

Everyone knows that Li Changsheng is the future leader of the gang. And once he becomes the leader, he will surely bring a brighter future to the Canal Gang.

Li Changqing is Li Changsheng's only younger brother, and Du Daniu is Li Changqing's number one lackey.

How could someone like that have a bad future in the Grand Canal Gang?

Many shrewd people in the canal gang noticed this and were eager to befriend Du Daniu.

That's why they are so familiar with Du Daniu.

But at this moment, Du Daniu seemed completely unfamiliar to them.

A hint of indifference appeared on Du Daniu's honest face...

Surrounded by enemies, he remained calm and composed.

This is completely different from the Du Daniu that everyone remembers.

"Please, brothers, do not act rashly. You wouldn't want anything to happen to your leader, would you?"

Seeing that Du Daniu had succeeded in his attack, the masked man let out a sinister laugh.

"It's done!"

"Release our people and let us go."

It looks like they won't get the stuff, so they'll grab the person first.

The brothers of the Grand Canal Gang, of course, refused.

Their knives, spears, and halberds were already drawn, and they surrounded Du Daniu and the Southern Gang Leader.

"I'll count to three, and if you don't move aside, I'll take action..."

Du Daniu's voice was cold.

No one doubted that his determination to take action was just as strong as that of the man in black before.

These people have absolutely no respect for life.

"Who exactly are you?"

The opponent was able to easily capture Nan Zhentian, who was at the mid-stage of the Innate Realm, right under their noses.

This gave Li Changsheng a huge sense of crisis.

The opponent's strength is probably above his!

Moreover, unlike the masked demon man, Li Changsheng vaguely sensed that the gap in strength between the other party and himself might be even greater.

He was already a master at the late stage of the Innate Realm, and the masked demon's strength had reached the half-step Profound Realm.

If the person in front of them is truly stronger than the two of them.

Then he would be a genuine master of profound mysteries.

Those who do not attain enlightenment are nothing more than ants.

As the third realm of martial arts, those who reach the Profound Realm are all masters among masters.

He thought the other person might be a grandmaster.

Li Changsheng felt that this time, they were probably really in danger...

Even if Li Changqing had just demonstrated acupressure techniques that were difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Facing a true martial arts master, Li Changsheng didn't think they had any chance of winning.

This is the oppressive feeling that a martial arts master brings!

"Who I am is unimportant; the key question is whether you still want your gang leader dead?"

Upon hearing Du Daniu's words, Li Changqing jumped down from the sky.

It's different from ordinary light-body techniques.

When Li Changqing jumped off the big ship, it was as if a steel wire was pulling him from the sky, making his movements look very leisurely.

When their feet touched the ground, not a speck of sand was kicked up.

"Brother Aniu, I really misjudged you."

The Du Daniu standing before him was the same Du Daniu that Li Changqing knew.

But before this, Li Changqing had never imagined that the other party was actually a martial artist whose strength surpassed that of the late stage of the Innate Realm.

You should know that they had been in contact before, and in the last six months, they had been seeing each other every day.

"Little Changqing, you're the same. I've roamed the martial world for half a century, and I never thought I could be so mistaken."

Before this, Du Daniu clearly thought that Li Changqing was a late bloomer.

It would be alright if it were placed in the canal gang.

If he were actually released, his talent would be nothing more than average, not worth mentioning at all.

On the contrary, Li Changsheng was the real martial arts genius.

Who would have thought that this seasoned veteran of the underworld, hiding in the shadows, would one day make a mistake?

"Having roamed the martial world for thirty years, you old codger, you must be getting on in years!"
