Start your cultivation journey by allocating points to your Destiny.

Zhao Defu walked three or four steps in front of Lu Chen, but instead of looking at Lu Chen, he looked behind Lu Chen.

There, a pile of corpses lay.

Zhao Defu's face turned ashen, his eyes were ferocious, and he stared coldly at Lu Chen before suddenly giving a cold laugh.

"You coward, daring to cause trouble in my Black Gang! Who sent you?"

Zhao Defu did not act immediately, but instead asked questions at a leisurely pace.

In his view, the person in front of him was like a turtle in a jar, unable to escape his grasp. He might as well interrogate him properly and perhaps he could dig out some information.

Behind him, a number of people walked down one after another, most of whom were core members of the Black Steel Gang.

In fact, these are the only people left in the entire Black Gang now.

Those who were initially taken away by Li Mantun were all killed by Lu Chen.

He just killed another batch.

There aren't many left now.

In other words, Zhao Defu didn't know that Li Mantun was also killed by Lu Chen. Otherwise, he wouldn't have wasted words with Lu Chen at all and would have smashed Lu Chen into mincemeat in anger long ago!

Lu Chen was still getting used to and adapting to the changes brought about by the upgrade, so he naturally hoped that Zhao Defu would delay the process.

"Ordered? I am ordered by Heaven to act on its behalf! You beasts do not deserve to live in this world!"

Lu Chen said coldly, glancing at the people behind Zhao Defu.

Oh, and there's an acquaintance here too.

Kang Mao.

After circling underground, it came down again.

He was smirking coldly at that moment.

With Zhao Defu around, he had nothing to fear.

Lu Chen is doomed to die.

Only these core members knew that Zhao Defu was not a cultivator at all, but had actually undergone a blood transfusion over a year ago.

At this moment, apart from the few government officials, no one in Shahu County could rival him!

Even the leader of the Green Bamboo Gang, despite being the head of the largest gang in the entire Shahu County, is nothing more than a dead dog now.

"Heh, acting on behalf of Heaven? Do you even know what Heaven is? Here, I am Heaven!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

His gang members behind him laughed loudly, their faces full of disdain.

Judging from this person's voice, it sounds very young, suggesting they are quite naive.

And you call yourself acting on behalf of Heaven?

What a joke!

Lu Chen's eyes were cold: "Thirteen!"

"What?"

Zhao Defu's eyes were sinister. He was stunned for a moment when he heard these words, and then he realized what was going on.

"What, are you scared...?"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly moved, and the bronze staff in his hand instantly swung upwards, the tip of the staff cutting through the air and bringing with it a gust of wind, aiming straight for Lu Chen's chest.

Lu Chen had been watching Zhao Defu closely. Seeing that Zhao Defu lacked any semblance of a gang leader's demeanor and launched a sneak attack without any regard for martial ethics, Lu Chen was not surprised at all. He quickly retreated, using his steel knife to cleave the copper rod and stop his retreat.

Zhao Defu felt the force from the stick, his pupils contracted, and he was greatly shocked.

"Wow, that's incredible strength! This guy's abilities are off!"

With that thought in mind, Zhao Defu swung the stick in a wide arc following Lu Chen's momentum, then spun around and swept it fiercely, making a whistling sound.

Lu Chen's eyes sharpened. He didn't take the attack head-on, but instead stepped to the side. After the move was finished, he swung his arm and the tip of his knife touched the copper staff.

"Ding!"

The sound of metal clashing was crisp. Lu Chen didn't stop. He took another step forward and slashed forward with his steel blade.

A head-splitting strike!

Zhao Defu felt as if the bronze rod in his hand was about to fly away, and he almost lost his grip.

A storm of emotions surged within him.

He's not a scumbag!

It's not a blood transfusion!

This is the Marrow Cleansing Realm!

Without time to think, Zhao Defu quickly put the stick down and held it above his head.

"when!"

When the steel knife struck the copper rod, Zhao Defu's legs buckled, and he almost collapsed to his knees.

His arm trembled, his tiger's mouth was torn, and blood flowed out.

Behind him, more than a dozen men watched with mocking expressions as Zhao Defu beat Lu Chen.

Kang Mao, however, noticed something was amiss.

"What happened?"

He had a strange feeling that something was wrong.

Is it possible that the boss can't beat this masked man?

How is that possible?

He felt it was somewhat absurd, but he still quietly took a few steps back, quite from the bottom of his heart.

Lu Chen slashed at the stick repeatedly, one strike after another.

Zhao Defu felt his muscles trembling. He gritted his teeth and tried to lift the stick upwards, but he couldn't withstand the immense force at all.

"You...are from the Green Bamboo Gang? This is the 'Dissecting Ox' Technique'!"

Zhao Defu's face was extremely ugly, and he was also puzzled.

Wang Hu of the Green Bamboo Gang is only at the Refined Dirt stage, and the Cow-Slicing Knife Technique can only be practiced up to the Refined Dirt stage. His strength far surpasses that of Wang Hu!

Lu Chen didn't answer. Instead, he changed his move, switching from a slash to a belly strike.

Zhao Defu felt the immense pressure on his head finally disappear, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief before feeling a sharp pain in his abdomen.

My stomach felt cold.

It felt like all my strength was about to disappear.

He staggered a few steps, staring incredulously at the huge horizontal wound on his stomach, his eyes filled with confusion.

Lu Chen, like a madman striking a drowning dog, rushed forward and, with another heart-piercing strike, plunged the already dull steel knife directly into Zhao Defu's heart.

"puff!"

Zhao Defu's face turned deathly pale instantly. He trembled, and the bronze cudgel in his hand fell to the ground with a clang. He collapsed to the ground like a mountain collapsing.

Lu Chen quickly drew his knife, pushed off with his feet, and charged towards the group of dumbfounded core members of the Black Steel Gang behind him.

"Whoosh!"

Even a dull knife, its blade full of nicks, transformed into a scythe for reaping lives in Lu Chen's hands, effortlessly taking their lives.

As for Kang Mao, seeing that things were not going well, he had already run back and was almost at the door.

Lu Chen had witnessed his ability to escape before and had been keeping a close eye on him. He wasn't about to let him escape a second time. A throwing knife shot out silently, hitting Kang Mao squarely in the back and embedding itself deeply.

Having completed the activity, Lu Chen had completely mastered the Ox-Dissecting Knife Technique of the Marrow Cleansing Realm and the all-round growth it brought. In front of a group of people who were at most at the Iron Bone Realm, he seemed to have unleashed his full power, and quickly killed them all.

He spared two lives, severing their tendons, and then killed the rest. He pulled the steel knife from one of the men's chests, flicked his arm, and splattered the blood on the wall before stepping in front of Kang Mao.

He wasn't dead yet; he was coughing up blood and still struggling to climb up, his arm now gripping the doorframe.

Lu Chen came up behind him.

Hearing the noise behind him, Kang Mao turned around and his eyes immediately showed a look of despair.

"Don't kill him..."

"puff!"

The steel knife plunged directly into his neck and pinned him to the ground.

At this point, the Black Gang was completely wiped out, except for two survivors!

Lu Chen quickly searched the person, but apart from some silver notes, he still couldn't find a cultivation manual.

He had been somewhat envious of the "White Ape Staff Technique" that Wang Hu had mentioned, but who knew that Zhao Defu didn't have it either.

"Thank goodness we spared them; let's ask them!"

Lu Chen turned to look at the two burly men sprawled on the ground, their faces filled with terror and fear, and smiled.

[Under the host's influence, the fates of Zhao Defu and others have changed.]

[Fate value gain: 1600, Luck value gain: 16]

Total Life Points: 1677

Total Luck Value: 19

Seeing Lu Chen walking towards them, the two men were terrified, letting out shrill screams: "Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"

They shouted as they crawled backward, using their elbows to push themselves up.

Lu Chen placed one foot on the back of one of them, his voice gentle: "Don't be afraid. As long as you tell me the information you want, I can guarantee I won't kill you this time! Really, I never lie!"
