The Martial Saint begins by collecting corpses.

[Gain martial arts experience.]

[Acquired martial art: Mighty Fist.]

[Obtained incomplete bone structure.]

Mighty Fist, it's Mighty Fist again. It seems that the Blackwater Gang's basic martial art is Mighty Fist.

After Lu Ming sensed the gray light emanating from this person, his punching power increased slightly.

If he was only at the beginner level of Mighty Fist before, now he has reached the entry level!

His martial arts experience allowed him to have complete control over the Mighty Fist, and he had some insights into how to use it and how to deal with enemies.

These two individuals weren't particularly strong on their own, but by combining their experiences, he achieved a result greater than the sum of its parts!

Lu Ming clenched his fists, his eyes flashing, for he saw a path leading to the heavens.

"Big brother, what do we do now?"

Ah Lang calmed down and said in a deep voice.

As dawn broke, the sounds of doors opening, voices speaking, and the clatter of hoes could be faintly heard nearby, signaling the start of a new day in Heishui County.

Lu Ming ordered Monkey and Tiger to quickly search the corpses. Together, they found more than one tael of silver.

Big Tiger exclaimed joyfully, "Brother, we're rich now!"

The monkey stared at the two corpses on the ground, its face stiff.

Ah Lang frowned and glanced at Da Hu, then stared straight at Lu Ming.

The autumn wind blows, bringing a slight chill.

Lu Ming slowly said:

"What? You've rested for a few days and can't even collect the body anymore?"

"Go inside and get your tools, then put the body in a sack."

"Let's go to the shops on the street and buy some food, then find a place to have a good meal."

Seeing Lu Ming's composure, Ah Lang was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and nodded, saying:

"Listen to your older brother, hurry up!"

He told Da Hu to stay behind, while he and Monkey went back to the small, dilapidated house, took out sacks, rags, and other items for collecting the bodies, and then came back to clean up the two corpses.

Monkey and Tiger carried the corpse on their backs and, led by Lu Ming, went out into the street.

Along the way, we took the narrow alleys and avoided pedestrians.

Upon arriving near an inn, Lu Ming asked Ah Lang to buy chicken, duck, fish, steamed buns, and rice, which he then placed in the food box he had brought.

The group went to a rented, secluded courtyard in the east of the city, where they sat down in the living room to eat.

Lu Ming said:

"You guys remember this place, right? Someone died here, and we came here to collect the body."

"I rented this place because it was cheap right after someone died."

"I don't usually come here, so I'm generally not noticed."

Big Tiger, gnawing on a chicken's rear end with his mouth full of oil, nodded and said, "I remember."

The monkey's face lit up with joy. He swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth and said:

"I didn't expect my elder brother to be so prepared. He truly lives up to his reputation!"

Ah Lang nodded and silently ate his rice.

Everyone ate until they were about 80% full.

After eating and resting for a while, Ah Lang couldn't help but say:

"Big brother, what will we do in the future..."

boom!

Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud bang; the courtyard gate had been kicked open violently.

Ah Lang was facing the courtyard gate when he saw more than a dozen men rushing in. His expression immediately changed drastically. He abruptly stood up, grabbed a broadsword, and said:

"Boss, from the Blackwater Gang!"

The monkey and the tiger also changed their expressions; one grabbed a sickle, and the other picked up a carrying pole.

Standing up, he saw that the leader was burly, with a face full of scars, and in his hand was a ring-pommel sword with a narrow and straight blade that was sharp and menacing!

The monkey exclaimed in surprise:

"Boss, it's that damn Blackwater Gang leader, Sun Dazhi!"

Sun Dazhi grinned maliciously:

"A nobody like you, I never expected you'd recognize your grandpa!"

"Lu Ming, you killed two of my brothers, you're going to die today!"

Lu Ming, holding a dagger, his face turned grim, and he stood up, gritting his teeth, and said:

"I didn't expect you to be able to track me here. Did the brokers betray me?"

Sun Dazhi sneered, "You're quite clever, but unfortunately you've messed with me, with Young Master Zhao. You have no way out!"

Lu Ming thought to himself, "Just as I thought!" Only the people in the brokerage firm knew about his situation and that of the monkey.

Brokerage firms, which are like intermediaries in the previous life, are indeed ruthless.

He was hiding in the monkey's dilapidated hut, yet he was still discovered by the Blackwater Gang. He had his suspicions then, but now he is finally certain.

He sighed and said:

"It seems that fate is against me today, but my three brothers are innocent. Release them and I will surrender."

Big Tiger exclaimed in astonishment, "Big Brother? I'm not leaving!"

Lu Ming whispered, "Go around to the back."

Big Tiger and Monkey were taken aback.

Ah Lang glanced at him with surprise and suspicion, then decisively pulled the two of them together and said:

"Walk!"

The three of them hurried towards the backyard.

Sun Dazhi said, moved, "I didn't expect you to have some sense of loyalty. It's a pity that Young Master Zhao wants others to be too afraid to collect the bodies in this county. They all have to die. Brothers, after them!"

Immediately, Sun Dazhi led two men and rushed towards Lu Ming in the hall, while the others went through the hall to chase after him towards the backyard.

Just as they approached the hall, Sun Dazhi's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he sank into the ground.

"Ah! This is...this is...a trap?!"

He screamed and looked down to see a large pit filled with sharpened bamboo. A bamboo stalk had pierced his abdomen, and blood was flowing freely from it.

"Lu Ming!!! You are despicable and shameless!"

Not only Sun Dazhi, but screams filled the courtyard. Of the thirteen Blackwater Gang members, nine had fallen into the trap. The most serious cases resulted in immediate death, while the least serious cases resulted in pierced hands and feet, leaving them unable to get up.

The other four people stopped in alarm, looking at Lu Ming, who was expressionless in the hall, and felt a chill run down their spines.

The man who seemed resigned to his fate was actually trying to lure them all forward.

Although it seems that all the traps in the courtyard have been triggered, and they can walk through from a safe place and kill Lu Ming, who knows if there are any traps left in those places?

The four of them exchanged a glance and said:

"Boss, let's go back and report."

He turned and left.

"die!"

Two of the four had just stepped out of the courtyard when they heard a low growl from outside, and the two immediately collapsed to the ground.

The remaining two looked around and saw that it was Wolf, Monkey, and Tiger who had circled around and attacked them. They were terrified and turned back, not daring to go out again.

When the two saw Lu Ming in the hall from the courtyard, they trembled all over and couldn't help but kneel down and say:

"Sir, have mercy! We were just following orders!"

squeak~

At this moment, Monkey and Tiger dragged the corpse into the courtyard and closed the gate.

Upon seeing the large pit in the yard, the monkey opened its mouth wide, both surprised and delighted, and exclaimed:

"Big brother, when did you dig such a big hole?"

"This, this... no wonder my brother led us through the back door earlier."

"Great! I never thought the Blackwater Gang leader would fall into our hands!"

"I heard he's a true martial artist."

As the monkey spoke, its face turned red.

Lu Ming's eyes flashed. A true martial artist? Very good!

He had heard that the martial arts in this world were quite advanced, with strong individuals capable of scaling walls and splitting stones, but he had never witnessed it firsthand.

I wonder what kind of surprise Sun Dazhi will give him?

"Despicable...despicable...scoundrel!"

Sun Dazhi was still cursing in the pit, but his voice grew softer and softer, his face turned as pale as paper, and his eyes gradually lost their luster.

Lu Ming glanced at him and gave a slight cold smile.

In this ancient-like world, there are many despicable acts. He lives at the bottom of society and does the business of collecting corpses, so he naturally needs to have some tricks up his sleeve.

At that time, he didn't have a deep relationship with Monkey and the others. After renting the courtyard, he secretly renovated it and set traps, just in case.

Now, it has indeed come in handy.

However, he will remember this betrayal by the brokerage firm and will repay it twofold one day.

"Hero, spare my life! Hero, spare my life!"

The two men knelt on the ground and said in trembling voices.

Lu Ming turned his gaze and stared at the two of them:

"Where is the Blackwater Gang's headquarters?"

One of them said, "I told you... can you let me go?"

"I can consider it," Lu Ming said calmly.

The other man immediately said, "It's on Qingshui Street! At the end of Qingshui Street! There are only two brothers guarding it now."

Lu Ming said, "Very good!"

He gave a wink to the monkeys and others standing behind the two of them.

Monkey and Tiger were slightly stunned, but Wolf's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He suddenly swung his broadsword and cut off half of one of them's necks.

Blood gushed out!

"You..." The other person was horrified and tried to stand up to resist.

Da Hu had already reacted, and he struck the man hard on the back of the head with a carrying pole. The man's eyes rolled back, and he passed out.

Ah Lang stepped forward and delivered the final blow, slitting the throat.

Seeing this, the monkey quickly dropped his sickle, grabbed a hoe from the corner, and used it to kill the Blackwater Gang members who were still alive in the pit one by one.

"Big...Big Brother, they're all dead."

The monkey wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, threw down his hoe, looked at the pit full of corpses, and stammered.

Big Tiger gripped the blood-stained carrying pole, his face flushed, and glared, saying:

"Big brother, should we go to Qingshui Street and kill those last two?"

Lu Ming suddenly frowned. He walked to the edge of the pit, about to use the power of the Heavenly Heart Seal to collect the corpse.

To his surprise, he saw a white shadow flash across Sun Dazhi's body.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Dazhi, who had already died, stood up again, opened his eyes, rolled them back, and muttered:

"Despicable...scoundrel...revenge...revenge..."

Ah Lang's expression changed drastically, and he gasped, saying:

"Big brother, this is a zombie resurrection!"

Upon hearing this, Monkey and Tiger felt their souls leap into their throats and quickly retreated, moving away from the pit.

Lu Ming's gaze also sharpened.

evil Dead?

The people in this world are afraid of zombies turning into corpses, so they don't easily collect the corpses themselves, but instead ask others to do it.

He didn't believe in such things before, which is why he went into the business of collecting corpses, but he never expected that there would actually be corpses turning into zombies.

What kind of world is this?!
