Chapter 296: [142] Above Grandmaster, 'Super Martial Artist' Hidden Pill Realm_3
"Enough, Qianqian, you don't know how dangerous this martial arts hall is. Your strength would mean death here. If Master knows you're inside, he'll be very worried about you.
Only if you escape will he be relieved, allowing him to use all his strength to fight those people. Be sensible, going back will only create a burden for Master." Wu Yixiong reprimanded sternly.
His words were not without merit. Luo Qianqian thought for a moment before saying, "I understand, I'll hide and not increase the burden on Dad. Brother Yixiong, you should go back; there are few people in the martial arts hall, they would definitely need support."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yixiong's face showed a hint of distress and unwillingness.
Everyone knows that so many people coming tonight is certainly the work of the Heaven and Earth Alliance.
Having escaped, it's safe now, and life's preserved. Going back would be courting death, jumping into the dragon's lair and tiger's den.
He only wanted to stay with Luo Qianqian, naturally unwilling to go send himself to death.
"No, it's not safe outside either. I have to stay and protect you." Wu Yixiong shook his head and said righteously.
"Protect who?"
Just then, a sudden voice came from the shadows.
"Who?" Wu Yixiong hurriedly stood in front of Luo Qianqian, shielding her behind him.
From the shadows, a short man with bandaged hands slowly walked out. He stared at Wu Yixiong and Luo Qianqian, clapping: "Good lad, despite our tight defenses, you managed to bring someone out, impressive strength."
Wu Yixiong frowned and, without hesitation, charged straight at the man, punching towards his face.
This man was none other than the Yellow Earth Incense Master, who was just injured by the flick of cigarette from Fukurokuju.
After being driven out by Fukurokuju, he randomly found a place to squat, unexpectedly catching two escapees.
Seeing Wu Yixiong dare to take him on, Yellow Earth Incense Master instantly showed a cold smile: "Overestimating oneself."
He grabbed Wu Yixiong's fist and forcibly struck down with his other hand at the elbow.
Having just been educated by Fukurokuju, Yellow Earth Incense Master was full of grievances, Wu Yixiong came right in time as he was fuming.
Crack!
With spite, Yellow Earth Incense Master struck. Wu Yixiong's arm instantly fractured, a scream followed, and he then kneeled, cold sweat pouring.
The feeling of having one's arm bone snapped is not something anyone can endure; it's top-tier punishment.
If it weren't for Wu Yixiong's martial training, he'd have passed out from the pain.
"Brother Yixiong!" Luo Qianqian cried.
Though Wu Yixiong couldn't beat her dad, in the martial arts hall, his strength was notably solid, rarely bested by fellow disciples.
Yet now, Wu Yixiong's arm was ruined by a single palm from the short man, making Luo Qianqian realize the gravity of the situation.
This person ahead was likely a Huajin Grandmaster.
"No, no, Incense Master, Black King... he's been killed!"
Wu Yixiong stretched out two fingers, intending to blind Wu Yixiong, when a frantic Five Hall Martial Artist rushed over.
Upon seeing the Yellow Earth Incense Master, he hastily spoke in panic.
"Wh-what?" Yellow Earth Incense Master's movements paused, incredulous.
Fukurokuju was the Black King of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, ranking alongside White King Bai Yongge, only beneath the Alliance Leader.
He didn't rise to that position through mere networks and relationships. Had it been networking, even as Black King, those under him wouldn't comply.
Undeniably, Fukurokuju was immensely powerful; even five Hall Masters collectively admitted defeat before him.
Ranking tenth worldwide, unless the top nine besieged him, escaping death wasn't possible for Fukurokuju.
Yet now, this nightmare had occurred.
"What did you say? Are you sure!" Yellow Earth Incense Master grabbed his subordinate's collar, urgently questioning.
"Absolutely, I saw Black King's corpse personally, dragged by a young man." The Martial Artist tremblingly replied.
"Done for, let's leave, can't stay here anymore." Yellow Earth Incense Master realized swiftly, readying to depart.
But then he recalled overhearing Wu Yixiong and Luo Qianqian's conversation, assuming these two held some status in the martial arts hall.
Taking them to the Heaven and Earth Alliance headquarters could perhaps be of use.
Without hesitation, Yellow Earth Incense Master grabbed Wu Yixiong and Luo Qianqian with both hands and swiftly escaped with his men.
...
Upon news of Fukurokuju's death, the Five Hall Martial Artists previously engaged in slashing and vandalizing the martial arts hall instantly lost morale.
Scattering like birds and beasts, even Fukurokuju had died, what could they accomplish as ordinary Martial Artists?
Wang Longhu flung Fukurokuju's corpse to the ground; Lin Zhengzong immediately approached to inspect.
"You actually killed Fukurokuju... truly surprising," Lin Zhengzong, confirming the deceased's identity, couldn't help but reveal a mix of shock and delight.
Delighted that Wang Longhu's strength reached such heights, even defeating one of the Heaven and Earth Alliance's top experts, Fukurokuju.
Yet anxious, Fukurokuju's death would likely provoke the entire Heaven and Earth Alliance.
When the alliance's wrath erupts, it will be unleashed upon Wang Longhu. Given the alliance's size and influence, it's bound to shake the entire East Asia Martial Arts World, inevitably triggering a colossal upheaval.
