53 The Moral Conduct of a Person Who Practices Health-preserving Kung Fu

On the outskirts of Pingnan City, Donkey Grass Valley.

Smoke rose from the kitchen chimneys of a courtyard that was leaning against a small stream and a small hill, where Gu He and his thirteen subordinates gathered together.

“Thank you for thinking so highly of me, brothers, and for supporting me with my revenge! I, Gu He, will not mistreat you.” Gu He picked up a jar of wine and exclaimed, “After this, I might die. However, I’ve already discussed this with the dojo master. As long as Qin Huai is killed, everyone will be able to return to work in the dojo. All of my assets will also be distributed to everyone!”

He wanted to kill Qin Huai to avenge his son, and the dojo master also felt that this kid was a major threat to the Thunderbolt Dojo. Therefore, the two of them hit it off, and that’s why today’s matter happened.

!!

Out of his thirteen trusted aides, only one was a second refinement martial artist, three were first refinement, and the rest were apprentices.

They were not strong, but they had close relationships with the small martial arts dojos, small gangs, and restaurants in the city. They were purely there to provide him with information.

He was more than enough to kill a second refinement martial artist like Qin Huai.

“Qin Huai must be hiding in the martial arts club to cultivate. He doesn’t dare to come out. We’ll send people to surround the Luo manor,” Gu He remarked, then recounted the plan.

“You guys keep an eye on the Changshan Dojo. From tonight on, I’ll kill a person from the Luo manor every half a day after I enter the city! This will force Qin Huai out, and then we’ll kill him on the way.

“Remember, the information must be fast and accurate! Don’t give Sun Yuanshan, that old man, any chance to react.”

“Alright…”

“Mr. Gu, I’m a little tired. I’ll take a rest first.” One of his trusted aides held his forehead, feeling a little groggy.

“Me too. I can only do things after I’ve rested and stored up my energy.”

“Alright, I’ll have to trouble you all!” Gu He was helpless, and his subordinates could not even lift their eyelids. Even he was also a little sleepy.

“Something’s wrong!” Gu He suddenly shouted. “It’s poison!”

His words made his trusted aides shiver.

The next second, Qin Huai, Fang Han, and the others rushed out of the courtyard.

Qin Huai clenched his fists and took the lead, charging straight at Gu He. When the latter saw Qin Huai’s face, killing intent burst forth from his eyes.

“You’ve got guts!” He waved his fists, and a muffled thunder rumbled.

Meanwhile, the white dragon in Qin Huai’s body surged, and the three poisonous substances in his hand were suddenly thrown out. The poison borrowed the dragon’s power and was lifted by Qin Huai to Gu He’s face.

The green and white powder shot through the air. Gu He accidentally lost his sight, but he held his breath and focused. He stared at Qin Huai with his fiery and bloodshot eyes, his steps not slow but faster.

Qin Huai’s expression remained unchanged as he watched Gu He do the exact opposite. As he slowed down, Fang Han took over his position.

“Senior Brother Fang, I’m counting on you.”

“Alright, Junior Brother.” Fang Han raised his fists, and the four white dragons moved.

Muffled sounds rang out at the edge of the poisonous fog. The two of them did not test each other’s strength, and they threw more than ten punches and kicks at each other.

Fourth refinement versus third refinement, a higher cultivation against a lower cultivation. The long breath technique’s offensive and defensive abilities were fully displayed.

In addition, Gu He had been poisoned by Qin Huai’s three poisons, so he was instantly at a disadvantage.

Fang Han was surrounded by an ‘air wall’ formed by the four white dragons, and he could easily switch between attack and defense. He seized the opportunity to get close to Gu He and hugged him.

The huge muscles on his body showed their divine might at this moment. With a surge of qi and blood, these muscles that were filled with blood instantly swelled up by two times, making Gu He’s breathing difficult.

After that, he leaned back and smashed him! A hug throw!

Gu He’s head hit the ground again.

Pfft!

Gu He immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood. The heavy blow and Qin Huai’s heart-softening powder caused him to be severely injured in an instant.

He rolled a few times on the ground in a sorry state, but he couldn’t stand up. He shouted toward the distance, “Senior Brother Qin, save me!

The next second, from the nearby forest, Old Qin the Sixth was running over. The ground beneath his feet was filled with holes, and there were faint electric arcs on his body.

Fang Han didn’t dare to be careless, so he let Gu He go and turned around to collide with Old Qin. The two fourth refinement martial artists exchanged several moves in a row, but it was only a blink of an eye.

“Old Qin, this Gu He is no longer a member of your Thunderbolt Dojo, right?” Fang Han frowned.

“Of course not. I’m not saving him. I just happened to be strolling here and happened to meet you, who I consider a nuisance.” Sixth Brother Qin naturally wouldn’t admit to it.

“With a fourth refinement martial artist like Old Qin here, I’m afraid Gu He won’t die today.” Fang Han retreated to Qin Huai’s side.

“Then let’s retreat first. Anyway, Gu He’s injured quite badly. He shouldn’t be able to cause any trouble in the next two days.” Qin Huai glanced at the experience balls all over the ground.

The next moment, the experience balls flew over and merged into his body.

“Ding! You have collected a [Thunderflash Skill Essence (White) ], [Thunderflash Skill] Experience +55!”

“Ding! You have collected a [Thunderflash Skill Essence (Blue) ], [Thunderflash Skill] Experience +22!”

“Ding! You have collected a [Thunderflash Skill Essence (Green) ], [Thunderflash Skill] Experience +187!”

“Ding! You have collected a [Thunderflash Skill Essence (Blue) ], [Thunderflash Skill] Experience +353!”

…

Inside the house.

“Thank you for your help, Senior Brother Qin.” With a pale face, Gu He cupped his fists at Old Qin.

He didn’t expect Qin Huai to hear the news of him leaving the dojo. He didn’t want to hide in the dojo and didn’t come out. Instead, he invited a few senior brothers to come and kill him.

“The head was afraid that Sun Yuanshan would play dirty tricks, so he asked me to follow him. Now it seems the head knows the character of the Changshan Dojo better.” Sixth Brother Qin also sighed with emotion.

Why did this person who practiced health maintenance skills have so many tricks up his sleeve? Back then, he had been tricked by Sun Yuanshan into entering the immortal fragrance tower for seven days and seven nights.

Since then, he had been rumored to be the sixth-ranked ‘golden spear’ in Pingnan and had been ridiculed by people as the Sixth Brother Qin.

“This kid is vicious. We have to get rid of him!” Gu He was filled with hatred. He was injured before he even finished his apprenticeship.

“You should recuperate for the next two days. It’s just in time for the city lord’s mansion’s big move. You can take advantage of the distraction of the Changshan Dojo’s people to make your move,” Sixth Brother Qin said in a low voice. “Is there any big movement in the city lord’s mansion?”

...

“I heard that two days ago, the head was called to the city lord’s mansion for a meeting.” Gu He’s curiosity was also piqued. “I’ve been in the dojo for so many years, but the city lord’s mansion has never summoned the masters of the eight major martial arts centers.

“They said that they found traces of the Sacred Heart sect in the west and wanted to use this opportunity to win over the hearts of the people and give us a warning…”

Old Qin narrowed his eyes. “Perhaps that city lord still has some unrealistic ambitions.”

“The position of Zhulu County’s governor?” Gu He said carefully.

“It’s hard to say.” Sixth Brother Qin shook his head. “Anyway, you’ll be recuperating here for two days. Fang Han and the others have been defeated by me this time, so they won’t cause you any trouble in the short term. But you’d better change your place tonight or tomorrow morning.”

After saying that, Sixth Brother Qin left in a hurry.

Separated by a wall, Qin Huai squatted at the foot of the wall and listened to their conversation.

Gu He had been poisoned and was injured by Fang Han, so it was impossible for Qin Huai to let go of such a great opportunity, lest a long night brings more trouble.

As a result, he turned back halfway and used breath control to make a big circle to avoid everyone’s line of sight before returning to the back of the courtyard.

Then, he squatted in an inconspicuous corner and waited for the night to fall.
