Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 89: Chapter 86: Follow-Up (Two-in-One Chapter)_3

The hall masters of the three divisions within the Black Sand Gang were not mere nobodies in the Blood Refining Realm; each had their own unique expertise. The Wind Hall Master, for instance, was renowned for his speed and mastery in leg techniques.

At this moment.

Looking at the rapidly approaching figure behind him, swift as a streak of light, Du Jiangbo knew he had no chance of escaping. The disparity in speed was simply too great.

”Du Jiangbo, surrender obediently and come back with me to face Han Lu. If you do, you might suffer a bit less. Otherwise—!”

Leng Yun’s chilling tone echoed, causing Du Jiangbo’s heart to tremble involuntarily.

If he were truly captured and brought back, the punishment awaiting him would undoubtedly be unimaginably cruel and horrifying. Just thinking about it sent shivers down his spine.

Without a word, he continued his frenzied dash forward.

The poison pill clenched between his teeth was ready to be swallowed at any moment.

Suddenly.

A dense bright light appeared in front of him. It was only then that Du Jiangbo realized, after passing through the forest, there was a cliff ahead shrouded in thick mist, its depths unfathomable.

”Yunjian Cliff! I’ve ended up here!”

This was a cliff in Canghe County that connected to the depths of Cang Mountain. Its bottom was so deep that no one who fell ever survived.

He took step after step backward.

The Black Sand Gang martial artists emerged in pursuit, and upon seeing Yunjian Cliff, they couldn’t help but laugh heartily. Leng Yun, a middle-aged man with an elegant mustache, crossed his arms and sneered coldly when he saw Du Jiangbo backed into a corner:

”Du Jiangbo, come with us. If you beg Han Lu for mercy now, perhaps he might let you keep your pitiful life. But if you fall, your fate will be total annihilation, not even your bones will remain.”

Du Jiangbo heard the mocking jeers and scornful remarks from the Black Sand Gang members across from him, and the humiliation of the past suddenly erupted in him. He roared angrily:

”You dogs, listen up! Your grandpa Du’s life is his own to control! Go back and tell Han Lu, even as a ghost, I won’t let him off!”

Du Jiangbo didn’t know where he found the courage. Perhaps he simply couldn’t bear the thought of his body being desecrated in the hands of his enemies.

In the stunned gazes of Leng Yun and the others, he leapt forward decisively, plunging toward the depths of the cliff.

Leng Yun’s figure flashed with electric precision; he kicked off the ground and appeared at the edge of the cliff. However, he was too late.

Looking at the cliff now completely engulfed in white mist, he let out a cold snort, feeling a bit displeased that such a minor figure had dared to provoke him openly.

Moreover, failing to capture the man alive left some lingering dissatisfaction. Still, having seen him jump to his death with his own eyes was as good as completing half of the task. After all, dead or alive didn’t matter much in the end.

”Forget it. Seems he really fell. Let’s head back.”

Leng Yun snorted coldly once more. After lingering a while longer at the cliff’s edge, he finally led the group away down the mountain.

...

”Du Jiangbo fell to his death at Yunjian Cliff?”

When Gu Sheng received the news, his feelings were somewhat complicated. He hadn’t expected Du Jiangbo to fail in escaping and ultimately choose to leap off the cliff.

”Leng Yun... Han Lu... Don’t worry. If I ever have the chance in the future, I’ll kill them and avenge you.”

Gu Sheng silently vowed in his heart.

Regardless of everything, Du Jiangbo had at least fulfilled his pact with him. Devoting his life to revenge wasn’t realistic, but if his cultivation ever reached Great Success in the future, crushing those two would not be impossible.

Exhaling deeply, Gu Sheng slowly set aside his stray thoughts.

This ordeal was finally over. From now on, he could focus on his cultivation in peace. With resolute eyes, Gu Sheng resumed practicing his punches.

Grind!

Diligent practice without pause. To break through and become a Blood Refining Realm expert as soon as possible—that was the only way to establish himself in Canghe County, gaining the freedom to advance or retreat at will.
