Chapter 150 Cleanup
Chapter 151 Cleanup
"This world is tough—"
Su Hao shifted his gaze from the corpses on the cart, then quickened his pace.
Before long, Su Hao arrived at Blackwater Street.
Looking at the shops on both sides, almost all of them were closed.
Su Hao estimated that it wouldn't be long before this street, without shops and customers, would become completely deserted, just like those abandoned markets before.
As Su Hao passed by Xia's Rice Shop, he couldn't help but look over there.
At this moment, Xia's Rice Shop was also closed, and Xia Jin and his companions had long since disappeared.
I don't know if they're dead or they escaped.
Su Hao ignored all of that and went to the blacksmith's shop.
The door was opened and a fire was lit, and soon the clanging sound of blacksmithing could be heard again from inside the shop.
Su Hao's forging skills are also improving at an accelerated pace, along with his increased aptitude.
If it weren't for the fact that I need to train these days and don't have much time to hone my skills.
Su Hao estimated that he had already broken through to the next level of forging techniques.
Although he is indeed capable of crafting most ordinary weapons.
However, if we want to go further and create more precise and harder weapon components, such as composite crossbows with higher power and accuracy, composite heavy bows, etc., we are still not ready.
Su Hao estimated that if he could create a composite crossbow like the one from his previous life, and combine it with the martial arts power of this life, he could increase the power to several times or even dozens of times that of his previous life!
This speed is comparable to that of a bullet, breaking the sound barrier!
Such a powerful weapon would be difficult for even a Bone Forging Realm martial artist to withstand!
Although the Bone Forging Realm is said to result in a body of copper and iron, it represents a qualitative transformation in a martial artist's cultivation.
But even the toughest body has a limit to its defense.
Think back to the heavy sniper bullets of my past life; they could even penetrate a 10-centimeter-thick steel plate!
He didn't believe that the body defenses of martial artists in this world couldn't be penetrated.
Once such a terrifying weapon is created, it can definitely be used as a weapon of mass destruction!
This is why Su Hao has never given up on the art of forging.
As Su Hao was immersed in improving his forging skills, a figure dressed in a black robe and wearing a black veil hat, concealing his face, unknowingly entered the blacksmith shop.
A figure entered, the sound of footsteps seemingly masked by the clanging of metal, so much so that Su Hao didn't even notice it for a moment.
Ding ding ding————
Su Hao's raised iron hammer suddenly stopped in mid-air. Then, his arms glowed with a crimson light. He took a step forward and pounced like a tiger, his violent palm force slamming down on the figure that had appeared in the shop at some unknown time!
Su Hao unleashed a palm strike without holding back, a strike imbued with the power of the Yue Shan Fist, causing the surrounding air to swirl!
However, when Su Hao unleashed his full power, the man in black merely raised his hand slightly and struck out with his palm, clashing head-on with Su Hao's hand.
Boom!
Their palms collided, and the force of the impact caused the ground beneath their feet to crack instantly, with cracks spreading outwards. The terrifying power even shook the entire shop, and wisps of snow fell from the gaps in the roof tiles.
Snap snap snap—
However, this stalemate did not last long. Su Hao retreated repeatedly, his footsteps leaving clear dents in the ground.
In contrast, the man in black robes only took a small half-step back before regaining his footing.
"Who are you!?"
Su Hao stared solemnly at the mysterious black-robed man who had suddenly barged in, his entire body's energy fully mobilized at this moment!
Faced with the suddenly appearing man in black robes, he felt an extremely strong sense of danger.
This moment filled him with a sense of unease.
I never expected that such a master would come here to find him today.
Who exactly is the other party?
"Hehe—not bad, not bad—truly a third-level blood realm cultivator!"
To Su Hao's surprise, the man in black robes just chuckled in response to his questioning, and the laughter sounded somewhat familiar to Su Hao.
Su Hao's eyes flickered, and suddenly he seemed to realize something. Looking at the figure in the black veil and conical hat before him, he asked uncertainly, "You—you are—?"
"Haha—" Seeing Su Hao's somewhat surprised look, the man in black robes couldn't help but laugh again, and then took off the black veil hat on his head.
A middle-aged man with an ordinary face and a mustache was revealed.
However, the middle-aged man's face looked somewhat stiff, as if he were wearing a disguise.
Su Hao had previously learned the art of disguise, so he naturally saw through these clues at a glance. However, upon seeing the other party's exposed palms and those familiar eyes, he was immediately struck by their deception.
He was also somewhat taken aback. "You're my master?"
"You brat, you hit so hard, are you perhaps trying to take over my Yue Shan Martial Arts School ahead of schedule?"
The man smiled, but his voice was identical to Liu Chongshan's.
"Master? It really is you!?"
Su Hao was momentarily stunned. He quickly stepped forward and sized up the other person.
Unexpectedly, after searching for Master Liu's whereabouts for several days, he found nothing.
Unexpectedly, the other party took the initiative to contact me today.
"Hmm! You're quite good. When did you break through to the third blood realm? And you didn't even cultivate the Yue Shan Fist?"
Liu Chongshan nodded slightly, then took two steps forward, patted Su Hao on the shoulder, and asked with a smile.
The look in her eyes as she looked at Su Hao was filled with admiration.
Although the martial arts Su Hao used earlier were not his Yue Shan Fist moves, the fact that he was able to break through to the third blood realm in such a short time was enough to prove his amazing talent!
It should be noted that Su Hao has only been cultivating for about half a year!
It's truly astonishing that someone could reach such a level in such a short time!
"I acquired a martial art by chance before, tried practicing it, and unexpectedly, I made good progress—"
Su Hao nodded in explanation, showing no intention of hiding anything.
Looking at Liu Chongshan's disguised appearance, he figured the other party must have something else on his mind, which was why he was appearing in this way to see him.
He walked quickly to the door, closed it behind him, and then returned to the store.
"Master, what has happened these past few days? And why have you come to see me today? Is there anything I can do for you?"
Su Hao knew that Liu Shi must have something to say to come looking for him at this time.
"Well—this matter is complicated, and I can't explain it to you clearly in a short time—"
Liu Chongshan sighed, then sat down by the stove. He glanced at the roaring fire and said, "The things that happened with the Lin family, weren't you the one who did it?"
Upon hearing this, Su Hao fell silent for a moment, unsure how to respond.
It's unclear what Master Liu's intention was in suddenly bringing up the Lin family's affairs at this time.
