Body Refinement for Longevity: From Health Cultivation Exercises to Overcoming All Techniques

"Oh, you know?"

"Of course, I am the leader of the Tianhe Gang. Some time ago, the Black Mountain Gang fled here, trying to secretly build up their power, but I discovered it and immediately organized people to suppress them."

Chen Han nodded, signaling him to continue.

"Later, they couldn't withstand the pressure and tried to pledge allegiance to my gang, but I refused. So they retired from their criminal activities and became laborers in Yulong Bay, which is under my control."

"Oh, they've reformed?"

"It seems so."

Chen Han was silent for a moment before speaking, "Yes, I understand. Thank you."

"Does any of you possess top-tier martial arts skills?"

Chen Han asked again.

The crowd exchanged glances, their eyes filled with helplessness. "My lord," one of them said, "first-rate martial arts are only available to royalty; we martial artists have no access to them."

"royal..."

Chen Han murmured something, then stopped and said, "Then I have nothing more to say. Everyone may leave now. I apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused."

"Senior, it's alright, it's alright. If you need anything, please feel free to come to me, and I will do my best to help."

"You're too kind, senior. It's an honor for me to have met you. There's no way I'm bothering you..."

Everyone waved their hands to indicate that they didn't mind, and before leaving, they even smiled and tried to establish a connection with Chen Han, acting as friendly as could be.

Given Chen Han's strength and his unknown level of mastery, they would be willing to serve him like slaves, not for anything else, but simply to learn some martial arts knowledge that they wouldn't normally have access to.

Chen Han nodded slightly in response.

He's not a serial killer, and these people haven't offended him, so why make things difficult for them?

Although there was a risk of leaks, it was unavoidable, and killing them all for no reason would not suit his purposes.

Seeing the smiling faces of the experts, Chen Han was filled with emotion. How long ago was it that even any one of their subordinates could bully him without any scruples, making him grovel and fawn over them?

Now, he only needs to sit here, and experts will constantly fawn over him with humble attitudes, wishing they could kowtow and acknowledge him as their father on the spot.

Such a dramatic transformation took less than three years.

Strength, strength, it all boils down to strength.

Your own strength is the absolute passport, no matter where you are. If it doesn't work, it just means you're not strong enough, not ruthless enough...

Everyone had left, leaving only Master Xu present. Having witnessed the attitude of the gang leaders towards Chen Han, he was now even more frightened.

This person could probably be killed on the spot and no one would dare to interfere.

Those gang members they've met will probably have to help clean up the scene.

Thinking of this, he dared not breathe too loudly, for fear of offending this important person.

"Mr. Xu, could you do me a small favor?"

Chen Han suddenly spoke up.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's not really about helping, it's not really. Just tell me what you need, sir."

Chen Han took out a list containing the materials needed to practice the Thunderclap Extreme martial arts.

"Buy everything on this list for me. You'll get your share of the profits after it's done. Oh, and... don't report me to the authorities, or... your whole family will be wiped out!"

Chen Han spoke with a smile, which made Old Master Xu's heart pound.

In reality, Chen Han wouldn't commit the act of wiping out an entire family. Besides, he had little interaction with this lecherous Master Xu. At most, he would be killed by him, but not his whole family. Saying this was purely a threat.

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare..."

"Okay, I'll come back to pick it up in seven days. Don't try anything clever..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Xu felt a gust of wind pass by, and when he opened his eyes, there was no one beside him.

He collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

Master Xu was terrified. He had met many people in his life, but he had never seen anyone as powerful and capricious as the man in black robes, killing people without saying a word.

This is something that his wealth and power could never achieve.

Late at night, Chen Han arrived at Yulong Bay and wandered around. Sure enough, he saw several familiar figures, who were the thugs of the Black Mountain Gang.

Three or five of them walked together, chatting and laughing.

"I'm going to get married this year. Although I don't earn as much as I do in Black Lion City doing manual labor here in Yulong Bay, at least I can make a living. It's time to get a wife and a warm bed."

"Little Tiger, I think your idea is good. This Imperial City is not like Black Lion City. It can survive without sucking other people's blood. I earned 250 coins today, enough for my family to eat for a few days. We should live a good life."

"That's right. Besides, with so many brothers like us, who knows, one day one of them might rise to prominence and won't forget his brothers..."

Hearing these words, Chen Han's heart was stirred, but his decision remained unchanged. He stepped out from the shadows and appeared in front of them, arms crossed, without saying a word.

The group immediately became alert, staring intently at Chen Han.

"Who do you think you are! Get the hell out of here if you want to live!"

Chen Han remained silent and slowly walked towards the group.

"Damn it, I wasn't looking for trouble, but trouble still came knocking on my door. Beat them up!"

Chen Han's gaze was cold and merciless. In the end, only one person remained, and he was held firmly by the neck by Chen Han, unable to move.

"Looks like you're some kind of boss. Tell me, where are the rest of the Black Mountain Gang?"

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'll tell you everything..."

The first place was a small outpost, crowded with people who were already asleep.

Chen Han showed no mercy, killing them all in a few swift moves, leaving a river of blood.

The second place was a small shop selling fishing nets. Inside was a couple. Chen Han still showed no mercy and killed them as well, but spared the woman's life, leaving her with twenty taels of silver before leaving.

The third place, the fourth place...

In the end, almost all the members of the Black Mountain Gang were killed, except for Xue Yinzi and Chen Lei—Chen Han didn't know where they were.

"Why...why did you do this? The Buddhist saying goes, 'Lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot.' You evil spirit..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Han gradually increased the pressure in his hand. "I am not Buddha, I am...this humble one..."

Chen Han wouldn't show mercy just because they've reformed. He was almost driven to his death once, beaten to death with a stick. Did the Black Mountain Gang pity him then? Did they let him go?

These days, it's impossible to just turn back from a bad situation and reform so easily. There's no such thing as a free lunch.

They even said he was an evil spirit, and that it was already a sign of his conscience that he didn't kill his entire family.

He didn't consider himself a good person either, and his actions were completely devoid of any moral burden.

He remained unmoved, and with a swift movement, another life was lost.

"Blood Yinzi, and that powerful figure who's on good terms with you, you're next..."

Chen Han clearly remembered in his mental notebook that the old man Xue Yinzi had colluded with a powerful person to help him set a trap to seduce him, and that this person was also involved in the siege of the Chen family members, in addition to the Black Mountain Gang.

No matter who this person is, Chen Han will not let them go.
