I can return to the age of mysterious
Chapter 386 - 386 226 East Three Stars (4200)_2

Chapter 386: 226 East Three Stars (4200)_2 Chapter 386: 226 East Three Stars (4200)_2 This is somewhat similar to a pyramid structure, where the top school can constantly draw resources from the ones below. Of course, if the situation turns particularly bleak, the many schools could also compromise.

However, the Red Vulture Fist is a special case. The Evil Eye Fist directly demands

that the Red Vulture Fist demonstrate its Secret Martial Arts heritage, sharing all its secret techniques and skills. The reason for this goes back to an old grudge.

It involves Feng Liusi, of the Blood Fist.

The Red Vulture Fist, of course, refuses to surrender. If they do as the Evil Eye Fist commands, the Red Vulture Fist will effectively cease to exist. After all, if the most crucial part of their Secret Martial Art heritage is handed over to the enemy, they could easily hold their lives in their hand.

That is what caused some of the recent events over the last half month.

In the conference room, the space is tightly enclosed.

The current Gate Master, Rune, is in a meeting with several Elders who had rushed over, their arguments ongoing. The Great Elder’s voice is the loudest among them.

“Why hasn’t the former Gate Master come down from the mountain? Rune! You should understand the current situation. If we carry on, barely surviving like this, it would be better to simply agree to the requests of the Evil Eye Fist!”

Rune, listening to the other’s rant, furrows his brows.

“It’s not that I don’t want to notify my father, but from July until September each year in the Roca Mountain Range, venomous snakes, insects and beasts enter a frenzy state. Even Fighters armed with special insect repellent powder could face great danger.”

“Who could have foreseen in July that within two months the situation would deteriorate so dramatically…,” Rune shakes his head, “Hold on one more week, just one more week should be enough…”

“One week, huh …” The Great Elder, sporting a goatee, scoffs coldly, “I suppose by then it will already be too late. The latest news is that Lance of the Soul-losing Sword, one of the Three Stars of the East, is already on his way to Windsor County. When the time comes, you will be his first challenge.”

“I will naturally accept the challenge,” Rune replies gravely.

“I hope you still have that confidence when the time comes.” With that, the Great Elder stands and, with a cold face, walks straight out.

He is in charge of the resources of the Red Vulture Fist medicine channel, his strength is equally formidable and his status is no less than Rune’s. Especially since Feng Liusi’s seclusion due to deviation, the elder Great Elder naturally holds an even higher position. Sometimes he would even mock Rune in times of conflict. As soon as he left, many other Elders also got up and left.

Only about half of the Sect Elders remaining in the meeting room.

Rune, with a stern face, continues the earlier topic.

Outside in the corridor, four or five Elders are following the steps of Great Elder, heading towards the exit of the building as they converse.

“Gentlemen, do you think I was being disrespectful to the Gate Master just now?” The Great Elder suddenly stops, glancing at the people around him.

Some Elders look somewhat hesitant, their meaning obvious.

“Actually, I gave him plenty of respect,” says the Great Elder in a serious tone, “All he’s thinking about is our former Gate Master coming back from Roca Mountain Range to organize things. But given the increasing pressure from the East Nine Gates, we might not be able to hold on for that long. Furthermore, to be harsh, even if the old Gate Master returns, he may not be able to reverse the situation. Let’s be mindful of the strength of the East Nine Gates…”

“Windsor County’s Evil Eye Fist has two fighters, and another open supporter of the Evil Eye Fist from other schools. Plus there are, very likely, other experts summoned from elsewhere in the East Nine Gates…”

The Great Elder extends his old right hand, showing four fingers, “Four Fighters!”

“The old Gate Master is nearing seventy. His physique will inevitably decline. A few years ago, he even suffered a deviation, lost his sanity. What of his strength from fifteen years ago, at the zenith of his Blood Fist, remains now? How can he advantageously face four Fighters? I’m just saying, facing Lance of the Soul-losing Sword may be the best-case scenario. When the old Gate Master returns, things will get worse, four Fighters, geez. I’m not trying to sabotage us, it’s just that the situation is really this dire…”

The Great Elder’s expression is tinged with a touch of gloom.

“So it’s a dead-end?”

“So we have no choice but to join the Eastern Alliance? Their demands are our Red Vulture Fist Secret Martial Art and a considerable amount of secret techniques.”

“If we hand them over, wouldn’t our Red Vulture Fist be reduced to a mere name?”

Many Elders voice out their concerns.

Only to see the Great Elder in the middle shake his head, a mysterious glint in his eyes, “Of course our Red Vulture Fist won’t just be reduced to a name. The Red Vulture’s Secret Martial Art is the foundation of our school. But, doesn’t the old Gate Master possess a powerful set of Secret Martial Arts?”

“You should also be able to feel that the old Gate Master’s power does not come from the Red Vulture Fist, but from a completely different boxing method. This method is extremely powerful, and is likely a second-class or first-class Secret Martial Art. The abrupt breakthrough of the old Gate Master twenty years ago, the strength he showed after the breakthrough, and the spirited progress he made in the following decade or so. It mostly has to do with it…”

A flash of insight gleams in the Great Elder’s eyes, “The old Gate Master lives in seclusion in the Roca Mountain Range. For some reason, he has not passed on this Secret Martial Art, not even to his son. I can understand this, since there may be some unknown drawbacks. But given the current situation, and the fact that he can’t cope any longer, we could give the Red Vulture Fist to East Nine Gates, then we all switch to training in the old Gate Master’s Secret Martial Arts, and make secret progress. Perhaps after a generation or two we can overthrow the bottom Sect of the East Nine Gates, and we can join the Nine Gates ourselves…”

“This…”

The other elders glanced at each other upon hearing this.

They understood the implication of the Great Elder’s words.

In a blunt way, this means that the Red Vulture Fist should surrender their Red Vulture Martial Art inheritance, forcing the old Gate Master to pass down his powerful secret martial art that he practices. Even though there may be some drawbacks, its effect is definitely better than the third-rate secret martial art of the Red Vulture Fist. With several hundred people in various parts of the Red Vulture Fist, they could also recruit more disciples in the future, and there will always be some geniuses who can cultivate it.

Only a generation should endure, and then the future will be bright.

The Great Elder’s proposition seemed quite reasonable and feasible.

The other three or four elders discussed among themselves, some were already convinced, and others were still wavering. The Great Elder watched them silently, with no change in his eyes.

Half an hour later.

The Great Elder returned to his residence by car. As soon as he entered the hall, a seductive and charming woman greeted him.

She sprang directly into the arms of the Great Elder.

“Pali, I don’t have time to play with you now, we’ll talk tonight.”

The Great Elder lightly patted the soft spot, then turned and walked straight up the stairs to a study in the corner of the third floor.

He looked at the brass telephone on the desk.

He reached out and dialed a number.

************************

Bang!

A red fist shadow flashed by.

A big tree as thick as two people was directly uprooted.

A fast-moving figure dashed by, its speed was incredible. It was like a shadow reflected in the shadow of a tree trunk.

Near the river, an open area in the forest.

A wild boar king two meters tall with red eyes, it rushed around as if it were mad. It had an exaggerated physique, all muscles and fat, with a layer of mud and bristles forming a hard armor on the surface. The two tusks by its nose were as long as a person’s forearm, and yellow at the tip. Its breathing was as loud as thunder.

This, almost two-tonne wild boar king, comparable to a tank, was desperately searching for its prey that had just disappeared suddenly.

Pigs are omnivorous, they also eat meat.

Whoosh!

Suddenly there was a noise behind the wild boar, and it reacted quite quickly. It turned around and tried to charge.

But then came the sound of movement from behind again.

A figure appeared like a ghost.

Squeal!

The screech of the bird of prey drowned out the sound of swinging arms colliding.

The massive body of the wild boar king was sent flying by a great force, it broke two big trees in succession and crashed into a boulder by the shore. The next second, the wild boar’s tragic scream was deafening.

It struggled violently on the ground, its short legs dug two deep trenches in the soil. Then, the part of its body that was hit started to spurt cracks, and blood plasma sprayed out like a fountain. The cracks began to spread, quickly forming a web that covered its whole body, the flesh and bones becoming visible between the red meat chunks.

Blood plasma erupted from all the cracks, resulting in a rain of blood. After the blood rain fell and the bloody wind blew away, only a massive skeleton and the decaying meat and internal organs around it, plus the boulder that the wild boar king had hit, remained on the ground.

That boulder also disintegrated and exploded into a cloud of stone powder after a few seconds.

A breeze blew by, and two figures appeared on the shore.

Casio glanced at the bloody scene five meters away, then looked at Feng Liusi, who seemed to be getting younger and stronger.

He couldn’t help but praise: “Turning a body into a skeleton with one move, you are getting closer and closer to your peak state. Blood Fist!”
