Invincible Over the World-Chapter 62 Poison Blood Palm
62: Chapter 62 Poison Blood Palm
62 -62 Poison Blood Palm
It didn’t take long for Huang Xiaolong and the others to arrive at the Green Hawk Gang Headquarters.
The headquarters of the Green Hawk Gang was located in the southern part of the Royal City, a bit remote but covering a much larger area than Huang Xiaolong’s Heavenly Mystical Mansion—several times larger, in fact.
Two giant eagle statues were placed in front of the main gate of the Green Hawk Gang Headquarters, and the eagles were entirely green.
However, to Huang Xiaolong’s surprise, when they arrived, there were no disciples guarding the main gate of the Green Hawk Gang Headquarters, and it was eerily quiet.
“Hold on, everyone, be careful,” Huang Xiaolong reminded them.
“Yes, Young Master!” The crowd nodded.
Fei Hou and the others also noticed that something was amiss.
As they walked into the Green Hawk Gang Headquarters, Huang Xiaolong caught a faint smell of blood.
Although it was very light, he was certain it was the scent of blood.
As they went deeper, they occasionally saw a small puddle of blood on the stone tiles of the floor.
Besides that, there were no signs of the Green Hawk Gang’s disciples, adding to the strange silence.
Huang Xiaolong frowned.
A short while later, Huang Xiaolong and the others came to the Great Hall.
The hall was empty, but on a golden eagle throne lay a middle-aged man in eagle robes.
The group exchanged glances.
“It’s Jiang Wei, the leader of the Green Hawk Gang!” A guard from Marshal Mansion, named Wang Ning, blurted out as he stared at the middle-aged man on the golden eagle throne.
Huang Xiaolong and his companions quickly stepped forward and approached the throne, only to see that Jiang Wei lay there with his eyes tightly closed, no longer breathing.
However, there were no signs of blood or wounds on his body.
A thought crossed Huang Xiaolong’s mind.
He raised his right hand and struck a gentle Mian Palm towards Jiang Wei’s chest.
The latter’s clothes burst open, and as everyone looked on, they saw an eye-catching dark green handprint on Jiang Wei’s bare chest.
The flesh around the handprint was entirely rotted away, and faint black-green gases were spreading out from the handprint.
“What a powerful Poison Palm!” Everyone was shocked.
“It should be the Earth-grade low-level fighting skill, Poison Blood Palm!” Fei Hou followed up.
Poison Blood Palm!
Wang Ning and the others swallowed hard.
“Thirty years ago, a prince of our Luotong Kingdom and over a thousand of his guards were killed by this Poison Blood Palm.
After that incident, the technique had not appeared again.
I didn’t expect it would re-emerge now!” Another Tenth Order guard from the Marshal Mansion, named Chen Yu, said.
A prince of a kingdom equated to the governor of a province on the former Earth.
An entire prince and over a thousand guards killed would have caused quite a stir at the time.
Huang Xiaolong’s gaze flickered.
It seemed the matter was more complicated than he’d anticipated.
He hadn’t expected Jiang Wei to have been killed, especially by the Poison Blood Palm.
Could the person who killed Jiang Wei be the same one who had ordered him to send Green Hawk Gang disciples to cause trouble at the Li Family Silk Store?
And could it be one of the two individuals with snake Martial Souls that had appeared on Li Mu’s grand birthday celebration?
“Young Master, what about him?
How should we deal with him?” At this moment, Fei Hou pointed to the middle-aged leader of the Green Hawk Gang who had caused trouble at the silk store.
“Please, don’t kill me, don’t kill me!” the middle-aged leader of the Green Hawk Gang pleaded in terror to Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong pondered for a while and then said, “Let him go.”
The crowd was taken aback.
Immediately, two Ninth-Order guards from the Marshal Mansion respectfully complied and then released him.
“Thank you, thank you!” The middle-aged leader of the Green Hawk Gang was overjoyed as he thanked Huang Xiaolong repeatedly before hurrying out.
However, just as he had run out of the hall, a scream rang out.
Everyone was alarmed and immediately flashed out of the great hall.
They saw the middle-aged leader of the Green Hawk Gang lying at a distance, already dead.
Huang Xiaolong stepped forward, crouched down, lifted the clothes at the man’s chest, and saw that there was also a Poison Blood Palm print on his chest.
Fei Hou, Wang Ning, Chen Yu, and the others couldn’t help but scan their surroundings with a vigilant expression.
“Fei Hou, go and check around!” Huang Xiaolong stood up and said in a deep voice.
“Yes, Young Master!” Fei Hou respectfully complied, then leaped onto the roof in a bound, his figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
Soon after, Fei Hou returned and shook his head at Huang Xiaolong, saying respectfully, “Young Master, the assailant used a movement technique, and was too fast.
I couldn’t catch up to them!
Based on my estimation, the assailant should be a Peak of Tenth-Order Late Stage Expert!”
Peak of Tenth-Order Late Stage!
Huang Xiaolong’s brows furrowed as he pondered, “Let’s head back for now.”
Not long after Huang Xiaolong and his companions left the Green Hawk Gang Headquarters, the news of Jiang Wei, the Gang leader’s assassination, quickly spread, causing a significant disturbance in the Royal City.
Jiang Wei, the Gang leader of the Green Hawk Gang, was a Tenth Order Expert and the Green Hawk Gang had thousands of members.
Yet, he was killed, prompting discussions throughout the city.
Nightfall came, and they were in the great hall of the Heavenly Mystical Mansion.
Huang Xiaolong sat in the great hall.
He asked Fei Hou to briefly inform Marshal Haotian about what happened at the Green Hawk Gang Headquarters that day.
After listening to the account, Marshal Haotian looked serious.
“Haotian, arrange for a few people to protect Li Lu and Li Cheng,” Huang Xiaolong said.
“Yes, Sect Leader.
Please rest assured, I will definitely find out who is responsible soon!” Marshal Haotian said respectfully.
After a moment’s hesitation, he added, “Sect Leader, it’s too unsafe for you to go to the Silver Moon Forest for cultivation by yourself the day after tomorrow, especially after this incident.
I think it’s better to have Fei Hou, Wang Ning, and the others accompany you.”
Huang Xiaolong shook his head, “No need.” Even if an Innate Expert came, having Fei Hou and the others by his side would still be unsafe.
Plus, it would be somewhat inconvenient to have them around while cultivating.
“For the Academy, you talk to Sun Zhang,” Huang Xiaolong continued, meaning that since he would be leaving the Academy to cultivate in the Silver Moon Forest for five months, the Academy should be informed.
Marshal Haotian respectfully complied.
After a while, both Fei Hou and Marshal Haotian left.
Huang Xiaolong then returned to his room and sat cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed, trying once more to control how to summon the Double Dragon Martial Soul independently.
Time passed.
Two days went by.
Over the past two days, Fei Hou had prepared everything Huang Xiaolong would need for the next five months, including several sets of clothes ordered from the Li Family Silk Store, which Li Cheng had personally delivered.
In these two days, although Huang Xiaolong still couldn’t summon the Double Dragon Martial Soul independently, he had figured out some methods.
He believed that if he kept at it, he would be able to do it before long.
During these two days, Li Lu also visited the Heavenly Mystical Mansion once, accompanying Li Cheng.
Knowing that Huang Xiaolong would be going to the Silver Moon Forest for five months of cultivation, Li Lu was naturally unhappy.
However, when Li Lu left the Heavenly Mystical Mansion, she said earnestly and resolutely to Huang Xiaolong, “Xiao Long, I will also work hard to cultivate and strive to become a qualified wife for you!” After saying so, she even quickly kissed Huang Xiaolong’s face.
Leaving his room, Huang Xiaolong thought of Li Lu’s words from the previous day and couldn’t help but touch his left cheek where Li Lu had kissed him, smiling wryly.
That cheeky girl!
An hour after leaving his room, Huang Xiaolong packed up everything he needed into the Asura Ring and left the Heavenly Mystical Mansion alone.
He left the Royal City and headed for the Silver Moon Forest.
This time, although Fei Hou and others did not accompany Huang Xiaolong to the Silver Moon Forest for his cultivation, Huang Xiaolong brought the Soul-devouring Purple Monkey with him.
Having Shi Ling with him meant that these five months of cultivating wouldn’t be so dull and boring.
