Chapter 155 - 155: 140: Interrogation and an Old Friend’s Visit
Chen Sheng stood quietly, looking at the concealed waves of the river in front of him.
The river water constantly washed toward the shore, soaking his feet.
Under the surface of the river, a faint shadow lingered. Whoosh-
Accompanied by another rush of river water.
Li Hengkong, with his arms severed, was carried by the river water to Chen Sheng’s feet.
Chen Sheng had specifically instructed not to kill Li Hengkong.
Therefore, the other party was only in a state of unconsciousness at the moment.
Slap.
Chen Sheng casually grasped Li Hengkong’s skull and lifted him directly from the ground.
After propping up his body,
Chen Sheng did not let go of his hand.
With Li Hengkong’s terrifying bodily attributes, simply having his arms severed and being suffocated wasn’t enough to keep him unconscious for so long.
The other party was faking it.
As Chen Sheng’s palm tightened,
Crack… Crack.
Pitiful cries of bones unable to bear the pressure came from within the skull.
Whoosh!
Li Hengkong’s eyes opened suddenly.
He looked at Chen Sheng, a trace of fear in his eyes, and said with a trembling voice,
“What do you want to know?”
At this point.
Li Hengkong fully understood his situation.
He was at the mercy of others.
Chen Sheng did not kill him directly, probably because he needed something from him.
He didn’t want to die.
To survive, he had to submit to Chen Sheng first, and then make other plans.
Hearing this,
Chen Sheng’s expression was indifferent.
In the following period,
With the help of the water flow, Chen Sheng tortured Li Hengkong and extracted the information he wanted from his mouth.
As for the Holy Sect, Li Hengkong didn’t know much about it.
Even the name of the Holy Sect was unknown to him until he heard about the Martial Arts Conference incident.
The breathing techniques he possessed were obtained, during the years when Kongming Boxing Club was at its most powerful, through various dirty means from other martial arts sects.
Very few people knew about this matter, and most were silenced by Li Hengkong on the spot.
As for why he began to collect breathing techniques.
According to Li Hengkong, it was because of a wandering Taoist.
The incident happened in the 40th year of Li Hengkong’s tenure as the Master of the Kongming Boxing Club.
At that time, Kongming Boxing Club was the largest martial arts school in Haizhou City, with the most disciples.
Even the local nobles in Haizhou City frequently sought help from Li Hengkong.
For a time, he was unparalleled.
But one day.
A wandering Taoist suddenly appeared, asking for breathing techniques from the Kongming Martial Arts Gym.
Even though it wasn’t the Tide Rising Period back then,
The breathing techniques were still secret arts of the sect, and they couldn’t be randomly given to others.
The disciples present at the scene wanted to drive this Taoist away on the spot.
However ,
All the disciples couldn’t match this Taoist.
Until finally, when Li Hengkong, who was out dealing with business, received the news and returned to the martial arts gym.
The two fought in a place where there were no outsiders.
Nobody knew who won or lost the battle.
But Li Hengkong told Chen Sheng.
That Taoist,
With just one finger,
Had almost killed Li Hengkong, who was then considered the number one person in Haizhou City.
After that,
The Taoist successfully obtained the breathing technique.
As a reward, he informed Li Hengkong about the Tide Rising Period, the Qi-sensors, and the Heavenly People.
Not long after that,
Li Hengkong, using various means, collected a large number of breathing techniques, resigned from his position as master, hid in the mountain forests to cultivate his mind and body while studying the breathing techniques of various sects.
All to,
Enhance his strength at the fastest speed when the Tide Rising Period arrived.
However,
On the first day he left the mountain, he met Chen Sheng.
It was a tragedy. At this moment,
With a thud,
Li Hengkong’s corpse slumped lifelessly on the ground.
Through the five bloody holes on top of his skull, one could vaguely see the red and white substances inside.
His eves were wide ooen. seeminglv unaware that Chen Shenz would kill him
so decisively.
Not getting any information about the Holy Sect was somewhat disappointing for Chen Sheng.
Fortunately, he did not come away empty-handed.
The dozen or so breathing techniques that Li Hengkong possessed, Chen Sheng had already obtained them all.
Although these were just ordinary breathing techniques, not as powerful as the Profound and True Martial Arts.
But if Chen Sheng achieved perfection in the Profound and True Martial Arts, and did not obtain breathing techniques of the same level,
At least he could use these breathing techniques to constantly stack attributes.
However,
After dealing with the two from the Kongming Boxing Club,
Chen Sheng’s brow was still furrowed, unable to shake off the irritation.
These two were just small fry.
The real urgency is Zhao Zhenfeng, who is far away in Haizhou City.
Li Hengkong and Qi Ming are dead.
Chen Sheng will inevitably be suspected.
After all,
Quanjiang City is only so big.
Compared to a mysterious strong person from who knows where, he, as the Martial Arts Conference champion, is obviously more suspicious.
Fortunately,
Chen Sheng still has other options.
The Power Sect, though strong, is not the head of the Martial Arts Association in China.
If it really comes down to it…
Thinking of this,
Chen Sheng turns around and prepares to leave.
Behind him, the river water continuously rushes to the shore, dragging the two corpses on the ground into the river.
Meanwhile, the scattered flesh and limbs on the ground are also washed into the river by the rain.
This ability does come in handy for cleaning up.
Chen Sheng thinks so.
Swish!
His figure disappears instantly.
Three minutes later,
In the alley at the entrance of Yinghui Grocery Store,
Chen Sheng hangs up the phone.
On the other end of the call is Xu Ying.
She is still wandering around Quanjiang City with Zhou Li, fearing that staying in one place for too long would expose their whereabouts.
Through the phone, Chen Sheng tells Xu Ying to go directly to the Wu’an Bureau in Jincheng District.
As for Chen Sheng himself,
he intends to return to the grocery store, pack up, and move to the Wu’an Bureau as well.
The Wu’an Bureau is an official department.
Chen Sheng’s master, Li Chenghu, is the captain of the Jincheng District Wu’an
Bureau.
Even if it’s just a local branch,
it’s still part of the government.
Even if the Power Sect is influential, they would still need a cause to take Chen Sheng away from the Wu’an Bureau.
Without sufficient evidence beforehand, they wouldn’t dare to act rashly.
Chen Sheng is quite certain that,
there is no overt evidence of his killing those two from the Kongming Boxing Club.
With that thought,
Chen Sheng puts his phone in his pocket and quickly walks towards the grocery store.
However , the deeper Chen Sheng goes into the alley, the more serious his expression.
Even his footsteps involuntarily slow down.
His body muscles are constantly tense.
He senses an aura, and it’s not that of an ordinary person.
With a cautious expression, Chen Sheng keeps moving forward.
Soon, he stops about ten meters away from the grocery store entrance, where a large black umbrella catches his eye. Following that, a line of text pops up in front of him.
[Unable to detect]
What’s going on?
Chen Sheng’s face turns serious.
Since obtaining the Eye of True View, he has never encountered such a situation.
He originally thought that having all attributes as question marks, like Zhao Zhenfeng, was already an outrageous thing.
But now, there’s someone he can’t even detect?
He must escape.
Chen Sheng frowns with a decision in his heart.
Considering that he can’t even sense the other party’s attribute panel, it must be a terrifying existence.
Without any hesitation, Chen Sheng immediately prepares to break out.
But at this moment, perhaps sensing someone nearby, the black umbrella gradually lowers.
As the umbrella master closes the umbrella, they see Chen Sheng, who is not far away and about to turn and flee.
Their eyes, instantly meet.
The moment he sees the umbrella master,
Chen Sheng stops in his tracks.
His face shows astonishment.
At the same time, the umbrella master also reveals a gentle smile.
Even though Chen Sheng has changed greatly in height and physique since the last time they met, he still recognizes him at a glance.
“Long time no see,”
“Brother Chen..”
