The Unknown God of War

“However, lately, he has reappeared. Furthermore, he brought with him two strong martial arts experts. Within two short days, those two swept through more than ten of my locations and injured more than two hundred of my brothers. I have lost a lot. I heard that both those martial arts experts were real practitioners of the proper martial arts. They have reached the sixth level of the arts and have completely mastered the Hidden Energy. No number of normal people can stop them. So, I discussed it with the other six leaders of the city. According to the rules of the underworld, we would battle that man in an arena and the loser would have to leave Jiangling after having crippling both his legs. My intention today is to ask for your help.”

People from the world of the martial arts?

Chu Feng’s eyes brightened and he had a thought.

This happened just as he was worrying about not being able to contact people who were practitioners of the martial arts, to learn about the monk who was able to cure the Mandraka poison; this, without doubt, was a timely opportunity.

Although the ancient martial arts had been around for a very long time, the rise and spread of influence over the entire country of the martial arts experts and their powers were pretty recent.

A big part of the reason was because the great Dragon Soul’s God of War retreated and went to the North pole to treat his wounds. With the backbone lacking, the military turned into a dragon with no head, resulting in countless internal wars. It was this that gave those from the world of the martial arts a foothold and they took the opportunity to rise above the military forces.

That was why Chu Feng wanted to make contact with these martial arts experts. Other than learning about the Mandraka poison that could cure him and solve his problems, his main reason was because he wanted to avenge the military; he would not allow his comrades to be insulted like this.

But in the modern city of Jiangling, there were less and less people who practiced the martial arts, let alone the authentic ancient martial arts.

After more than a month, Chu Feng had only met ‘two and a half’ of them; there was Jiangling’s military theater’s commander, Jiang Yi, the deputy commander, Luo Gang, and Li Ziyang’s bodyguard that was present at Yaxuan Teahouse, Hei Hu, who could be counted as the ‘half’.

Therefore, when Ma Sanyuan mentioned that there were two sixth level martial arts experts around and he wanted Chu Feng’s help to fight them, Chu Feng was very interested.

However, he kept his cool as he held his glass and asked casually, “That means that you are inviting me to fight you opponent?”

“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare.” Ma Sanyuan hurriedly stood up out of fear. He explained respectfully, “I’ve invited the master martial arts practitioner of Jiangling, who is also the head of the Zhen Hong Martial Arts Studio, Mr. Murong Cang, to fight. The other bosses of the city also invited other strong people for assistance. Mr. Chu, I’m inviting you over just to take your place at the main seats to keep the situation in control. I am sure that with your prominence and power, those pricks wouldn’t dare to cross the line.”

Although it was the matter of the underworld, Ma Sanyuan didn’t know what cards his opponent held. Would he play dirty and use authority to gain advantage? Therefore, other than a fighter, he also needed an influential big shot to overlook everything and ensure that nothing could go wrong.

When it came to power, who within the whole of Jiangling, maybe even the Jiangbei region, could match Chu Feng? This was a man that could dethrone a provincial leader, a man who could turn Jiangling’s dignified colonel, Luo Gang, into his follower.

“The stakes of this battle are thirty million. I am willing to give it all to you, Mr. Chu, as a token of appreciation.”

Chu Feng said calmly, “I don’t care about the money. However, after that, you must help me contact some people from the world of the martial arts. I have something to ask them.”

“Does that mean that you agree? Alright, it’s all on me.” Ma Sanyuan was very happy as he agreed to the terms.
