From breaking the limits of archery to achieving martial arts godhood

Chapter 96 Golden Snake Gang

【Bone Forging Realm (Golden Bones 45%)】

Three days later, Chen Xun had taken three Golden Bone Pills.

On average, each Golden Bone Pill can increase Chen Xun's cultivation progress by 4%.

This greatly increased the speed at which Chen Xun's cultivation improved.

It would take Chen Xun a whole day to fully refine a single Golden Bone Pill.

Chen Xun currently has 15 Golden Bone Pills, enough for him to cultivate to the peak of the Golden Bone Realm.

"Give me just another half month, and I'll be able to reach the peak of the Golden Bone Realm."

Chen Xun eagerly awaited that day.

The next day, Chen Xun went out for a while because the food at home was almost used up and he needed to replenish it.

Martial artists naturally have large appetites, but his appetite was even larger than that of ordinary martial artists.

Chen Xun could eat five or six pounds of meat and a large bucket of rice at almost every meal.

Arriving at his usual market, Chen Xun bought half a pig, weighing over a hundred pounds, enough to feed him for several days.

Then he bought a basket of vegetables and several bags of rice.

After paying the fee, someone will help Chen Xun transport the goods to the designated location, so he doesn't have to carry them there himself.

It was in this bustling market that Chen Xun heard news of Sun Yuan again after many years.

"Good riddance."

Upon hearing the news that Sun Yuan would be executed later, Chen Xun nodded in satisfaction.

He wished the guy who sent people to kill him would die today.

After buying the food, Chen Xun didn't stay outside for long and went home.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past ten days, Chen Xun has stayed at home, focusing on his cultivation and ignoring worldly affairs.

Until this day, someone came to knock on the door.

A series of knocks sounded on the door, accompanied by shouts of "Open the door!", disturbing Chen Xun who was cultivating.

He frowned, finished his practice, and walked to the door, a question lingering in his mind.

You have to understand, given his current identity, he has never interacted with anyone, so why would anyone come knocking on his door?

With surprise and doubt, Chen Xun asked, "Who is it?"

"We're from the Golden Snake Gang, open the door!"

"The Golden Snake Gang?"

Chen Xun did not remember having any dealings with this gang.

Just as he hesitated, the knocking became even louder.

"Open the door now, or I'll smash it down."

"7

"Yes, it was smashed."

Several voices echoed this.

Clearly, more than one person came.

Chen Xun's expression turned cold, but he still suppressed the rising anger in his heart and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, five or six people rushed in.

The leader, holding a steel knife, had a shifty face and was clearly not a good person.

"Hey kid, why are you taking so long to open the door? Your grandpa Fang has been knocking for so long."

7

The man who called himself Grandpa Fang kept scanning the furnishings in Chen Xun's house with his beady eyes as he spoke.

"Pah, so rudimentary."

Then, disappointed, he spat out a mouthful of thick and thin liquid that stuck to the ground.

Seeing this, Chen Xun's forehead veins throbbed.

"Boss Fang, this guy doesn't seem like a rich person."

The leader's underling spoke up at the opportune moment.

"Do you think I'm blind? Can't you see it?"

Then the younger brother got slapped on the head.

Then, this Boss Fang patted Chen Xun's cheek with the flat of his knife: "Kid, remember your Grandpa Fang, I'm the leader of the Golden Snake Gang, and the leader of the Golden Snake Gang is my brother-in-law."

"My Golden Snake Gang has wiped out the original Black Panther Gang and is now officially taking over the management of this area."

"So, I'm here today to collect protection money."

"By the way, how much protection money did the Black Panther Gang collect each month?"

Boss Fang asked his underlings beside him.

"Reporting to Boss Fang, it's one hundred coins."

"Only one hundred coins? That's too little, too little. How about three hundred coins?"

"Three hundred coins a month, that's just right."

At this point, Boss Fang stared at Chen Xun and asked with a grin, "Kid, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xun smiled.

"Can."

"Great, that's refreshing."

Boss Fang nodded in satisfaction, then turned to his underling and said, "Take 500 coins from him."

"He agreed so readily, he must have quite a bit of wealth."

Subsequently, Chen Xun was charged 500 coins as protection money.

After leaving Chen Xun's side, several members of the Golden Snake Gang went to collect protection money from Chen Xun's neighbor.

This caused widespread discontent.

Several people were even beaten up for refusing to pay.

This can be considered making an example of someone.

The government does not interfere with gangs extorting protection money from ordinary people.

Because the protection fees collected were also subject to taxes, and these taxes did not need to be submitted to the imperial court, the county government turned a blind eye to such matters.

Of course, gangs shouldn't go too far.

Beating up a few powerless, ordinary people is no problem.

As long as you don't kill them, it's fine.

When a case involves a murder, the county government cannot remain indifferent.

Gangs will also have a headache, either having to hand over the person or bribe them.

After the Golden Snake Gang members left, Chen Xun went out to inquire about the background of the Golden Snake Gang.

He soon received a more detailed report.

The Golden Snake Gang is a newly emerging small gang, led by Yu Yu, the Golden Snake Swordsman, a martial artist who has undergone a second blood transfusion.

It's said that he's a big shot from out of town who gathered a group of local thugs to establish the Golden Snake Gang.

Just a few days ago, he defeated the local Black Panther Gang and thus took over most of the Black Panther Gang's members and territory.

It was clearly an even more powerful Black Panther Gang.

The former leader of the Black Panther Gang was just a martial artist who had undergone a blood transfusion, and he was ambushed by Yu Yu, dying a very unjust death.

The county government generally doesn't interfere in gang fights.

Unless the fighting between the two sides involves a large number of civilian deaths.

As for that so-called Boss Fang, his real name is Fang Erniu. He is just a martial artist at the Bullhide Realm. His strength is so weak, yet he can become the leader of the Golden Snake Gang and is responsible for collecting protection fees for an entire alley. He got such a good job.

Simply because he has a beautiful older sister.

This man only became so arrogant today because he offered his sister to She Yu.

It's worth mentioning that his sister has a fiancé.

It can only be said that his sister is incredibly unlucky to have such a brother.

At night, in a low-end tavern, Fang Erniu and his gang of henchmen were drinking and eating heartily.

Fang Erniu pocketed a significant portion of the protection money he collected today, which allowed him to be so generous in treating people to drinks and meat.

Just as they were enjoying their drinks, an accident occurred.

For some unknown reason, the people at the two tables next to us started fighting.

This immediately affected Fang Erniu's table.

"Damn, they just caused trouble on my Golden Snake Gang's turf. Brothers, grab your weapons."

Fang Erniu was already drunk and was using his chopsticks as weapons, ready to take down the two people fighting at the other table.

Just as the scene was in complete chaos, a figure swept past Fang Erniu and then hurriedly left.

No one noticed this person.

Just as this person passed by Fang Erniu, Fang Erniu felt a chill on his neck, and when he wiped his hand, it was covered in blood.

After that, he lost consciousness.

Someone died.

It wasn't until a scream rang out that many people noticed Fang Erniu's body lying on the ground.

The scene quickly became even more chaotic.

By the time the officials arrived, the scene had been completely destroyed.

Therefore, the authorities investigated the case for several days, but ultimately failed to find the murderer.
