Becoming a saint begins with apprenticing under the last martial arts champion.

Wang Laizi turned and ran, his initial ferocity and arrogance completely gone from his face.

All that remained was fear and panic!

How could this kid be so amazing...?

The sight of Lu Changqing crushing his henchman's throat terrified Wang Laizi so much that he felt the urge to urinate...

Gotta run!

Run!

But before he could even turn around and take two steps, he had already dashed out.

A tremendous force came from behind him!

Then he lost his balance and fell heavily forward, his hands scraping the ground and leaving many bloody marks.

There was no response, and then another huge stomp landed on my back!

With a muffled thud, Wang Laizi felt excruciating pain sweep through his entire body. His breathing became agonizingly labored, and he could barely manage a scream...

Next, Lu Changqing stomped down hard again.

They broke both of Wang Laizi's wrists in succession.

Picking up the hammer that had fallen to the side, he turned Wang Laizi, who was vomiting continuously, over and asked, "Why are you targeting me!"

Seeing that Wang Laizi was still vomiting water, Lu Changqing picked up the iron hammer and struck his forearm hard!

"Ah!" Wang Laizi screamed in agony.

"Tell me! Who gave you permission to target me!"

At this moment, Wang Laizi's mind was filled with terror and pain. Seeing that Lu Changqing was about to swing the hammer again, he said intermittently in pain:

"Tiger, Tiger Head Gang..."

"Kill you, and I can join the Tiger Head Gang..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changqing's eyes flickered.

Tiger Head Gang?

He had only ever heard of the Axe Gang.

What are the Tiger Head Gang's allies?

The port city is now under the absolute control of foreigners.

Below is the police station.

However, due to the large population and diverse industries, people from the mainland continue to illegally cross the border, resulting in a mixed bag of people.

This led to the formation of many gangs.

Among them, two were the most powerful: the Axe Gang and the Canal Gang.

A group that practically controls all the casinos, nightclubs, cinemas, and other entertainment venues in the port city.

A port that controls the maritime trade of two companies in the port city.

Of course, while the fattest pieces of meat were devoured, leftover scraps still flowed down, giving rise to countless other gangs, large and small.

Lu Changqing had never heard of the Tiger Head Gang.

Another round of questioning followed.

Lu Changqing gleaned a conclusion from Wang Laizi, who was already in a daze.

"Kill Lu Changqing, and I can join the Tiger Head Gang and live a life of luxury. In the future, I'll have an even better chance of joining the Axe Gang! A complete turnaround!"

However, the specific reason remains untraceable.

At least Wang Laizi didn't know that.

Lu Changqing took a deep breath, no longer dwelling on it, and looked at Wang Laizi, who was muttering to himself as if he had lost his mind, with a fierce look in his eyes.

Perhaps understanding what was going on, Wang Laizi suddenly woke up and begged for mercy, tears and snot streaming down his face. His disheveled appearance was a stark contrast to his previous threatening grin.

"Please, Changqing, don't kill me..."

"I was wrong, I was really wrong..."

"I'm just trying to make a living, we have no past grievances..."

Lu Changqing didn't waste any words or bother to respond. He simply picked up the small iron hammer and struck the man's forehead hard!

With a muffled thud, the wailing stopped.

Next, on the quiet dock, only the continuous "bang bang bang" of hammering could be heard.

Until Wang Laizi's forehead was sunken, he was absolutely dead.

Lu Changqing, panting, got up and walked over to the two thugs behind him to finish them off.

Indeed, all three of them had passed away. Lu Changqing began to caress the clothes on their bodies.

Soon, in Wang Laizi's arms, he got back the two silver dollars that rightfully belonged to him.

In addition, there were some loose paper money notes.

Lu Changqing spat, "Damn poor bastard!"

But then again, it makes sense.

These thugs, once they have money, eat good meat and drink good wine, and go to nightclubs to play with women. They certainly don't save money and plan for the future like ordinary people.

Immediately, Lu Changqing tucked the small iron hammer into his waistband, dragged the three corpses, and threw them one after another into the great river at the dock.

With a few splashes of water, the dock fell completely silent, with only the bright moon and the evening breeze accompanying Lu Changqing.

"Huff! Huff! Huff!"

Standing at the edge, watching the ripples on the river gradually subside, Lu Changqing panted heavily.

The lifelessness was indeed true.

Moving these three corpses is more difficult than killing them!

Fortunately, it's alright.

The fact that he chose this place in advance saved him a lot of effort.

It is common knowledge that killing someone is easy, but disposing of the body is difficult.

The river waters surrounding the port city teem with fish and shrimp.

The body sank to the bottom and was swallowed up by the river before it could float to the surface.

Sitting by the dock, after a few minutes, the fierce anger and ruthlessness in Lu Changqing's heart dissipated.

As the adrenaline subsided, my hands and forearms began to tremble uncontrollably.

It's not that I'm afraid.

Instead, it's excitement!

A hint of understanding flickered in his eyes.

Often, reasoning with animals is futile.

They lack courtesy and frugality, have no conscience or morality, and their only fear is power!

The way Wang Laizi begged for mercy as he was dying was like the way he threatened Lu Changqing earlier – they were like two completely different people!

Therefore, the only way to protect one's own rights is through power!

And fist is power!

The bigger the fist, the greater the power!

To live comfortably in this port city, you need to be tough!

Not to mention, the matter of wanting to kill him, causing him to become homeless, and the mysterious cause of his father's death has not been resolved at all!

so...

Practice martial arts and boxing, then protect your rights!

Tiger Head Gang...

No matter what kind of demons or monsters they are.

The fist is hard enough to smash everything in one blow!

...

...

Pig Cage Alley.

An old light bulb emitted a yellowish glow.

Liu Bai sipped his tea.

Soon, footsteps could be heard outside the curtain.

Old Zeng, along with the man who was keeping watch, walked in one after the other.

Old Zeng chuckled and looked at Liu Bai without saying a word. He then poured himself a cup of tea.

The man cupped his hands in a standard martial arts school salute from the previous dynasty, saying, "Lord Liu, the young man you taught has taken care of the person."

Liu Bai smiled and nodded: "How is it?"

The man hesitated for a moment, then spoke again: "The movements were swift and clean; those men didn't even touch the hem of his clothes."

Liu Bai: "I'm not asking about his abilities. I want to know, after killing someone, did he clean up his mess?"

The man gave a knowing "oh," and said, "He led the person to the dock."

"Kill someone, then throw yourself into the river."

"Done! The floor is spotless!"

"Where is he now?" Liu Bai asked again.

The man replied, "I went to that scoundrel's house, probably to check if there were any valuables or hidden money."

After explaining the facts, the man sincerely praised, "You didn't leave anything unresolved, and you even knew how to clean up the mess and profit from it..."

"Quite quick-witted, a good brain."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bai nodded in satisfaction.

Upon hearing this, Old Zeng leaned against the wall and joked, "What? Not planning to teach me some of your secrets?"

Liu Bai smiled, "I can't even master it myself. Giving it to him would only harm him, wouldn't it?"

He stopped talking about Lu Changqing and instead addressed the man.

"I remember you, Zhao Chang."

"Your father and Old Zeng's father were quite skilled at fighting foreigners back then..."

"But unfortunately, we were a bit foolish back then."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chang remained silent, lowered his eyes in quiet contemplation, and then forcefully cupped his hands in greeting.

Liu Bai stood up. "The affairs of the previous dynasty are for future generations to discuss."

"We, the people who came before us, will have to go back sooner or later."

"I don't want you to lose face when the time comes."

"Come on, let me see how far you've progressed in your Zhao family's swordsmanship."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chang was overjoyed.

Personal instruction from the martial arts champion!

When the previous dynasty was still in power, how many people would be willing to pay a fortune for even three words of wise advice!

Now, he's settled!

At the same time, deep down, she felt immense envy for Lu Changqing...

He immediately knelt on one knee, bowed his head, and said in a deep voice:

"Thank you very much, Lord Liu!!"
