Chapter 6 The Black Society

  The slash was fast and vicious, almost as if it had been rehearsed countless times.   Lu Sheng's instinctive body made it out.   He saw a cloud of black shadows behind him, a cloud of black shadows that were flying towards him, and all of a sudden, he was cut by the knife.   The blade bounced back tough and hard to the touch, and the Park Blade swept the lunging black shadows away with a huge impact.   Bang!   The black shadow slammed into the ground and tumbled a few times making a whimpering sound. Taking a look through the torchlight, it was actually a wild wolf! The waist was cut by a knife to break open a huge gap.   With no time to think about it, Lu Sheng saw two other coyotes swooping over from both sides of him through the darkness.   His body instinctively reacted first.   The Park Sword was set up to the left, the pole of the blade blocking one of the coyotes, and then he turned around and threw himself around, slamming the coyote into the other one.   Boom.   These two forceful blows instantly made him a bit out of breath.   After all, he was a skinny rich boy not long ago.   The two wild wolves were also thrown out in pain.   Lu Sheng was panting, and with red eyes, he raised his sword and made a Tiger's Fury strike at the nearest wolf!   The blade was tilted slightly from top to bottom, and his wrist vibrated violently, shaking three times in a row according to the frequency of the Heart Technique.   Whew!   The wind seemed to be flooded with a hint of a fierce tiger's roar.   The two wild wolves were so frightened that their bodies trembled and their movements slowed down by a beat.   There was a flash of light from the Park Sword's blade, and one of the wild wolves had its head chopped off on the spot by a slash.   The other one was also struck by the tip of the blade to a bit of its neck, and blood quickly seeped out.   Lu Sheng summoned up his strength and used the blade again, this time with Tiger's Might.   The small arm vibrated four times, and four different kinds of strength surged out, combining the strength of the whole body and converging on the knife.   Tiger Wei was more speed-heavy than Tiger Fury, and slightly weaker in power. But it was also not something that the wild wolf's fragile neck could block.   The wild wolf was unable to dodge in time, and was viciously hacked in the neck by the Park Knife that suddenly increased in speed.   Plop.   The wolf's head fell to the ground.   Lu Sheng panted heavily.   This consecutive series of large movements caused even his face to ooze with a silky white hairy sweat.   Woo......   There was another wild wolf, the same one that had gone to grab the meat in front.   It circled around the stone at this moment, its green eyes staring menacingly at Lu Sheng.   "Still too weak physically ah ......"   Lu Sheng's heart was a little anxious.   But his face did not move, he knew that when confronting a wild animal, he must not back down and show his cowardice.   "Eh!?"   His eyes rounded and stared hard at the wild wolf.   The last wild wolf stared at him intently for a while, before slowly retreating backward.   It wasn't until that wild wolf completely retreated into the darkness.   Only then did Lu Sheng breathe a sigh of relief.   His physical strength was actually almost exhausted, his arms were weak, and even his grip on the sword was a bit shaky.   If that wild wolf really pounced on him, although he was confident that he could survive, he would definitely be injured.   Waiting to confirm that the wild wolf had completely left.   Lu Sheng pulled out the torch and hurriedly rushed towards Jiu Lian City.   This trip he knew his own weight.   The wild wolf outside the city, according to Zhao Bo once talked about his glorious deeds.   When he was young, his sword skill was so great that he single-handedly killed all three wolves under the siege of three wolves at the cost of a minor injury to his small arm.   This was already an unrivaled battle record.   Here, the wild wolves of this world were different from what Lu Sheng knew.   They were much larger, each one much larger than the wild wolves on Earth. It was also much stronger.   Almost as big as a large domesticated golden fur.   The wolves here were also different from Earth's wolves in that they were in packs of three or five, very rarely in large, large groups.   Lu Sheng jogged all the way back to the city gates.   When he saw the bright light of the torches on the city wall, his heart was slightly relieved.   Rolling the clothes on his body, he hid the bloodstained areas, then hid his plain sword, took out the road guide, and strutted towards the city gate.   ......   "Brother Sheng Sheng, listen to me. This object is not an ordinary thing, and only after arriving at Zihua City, I had someone consign it back from over there. It is said that in the Central Plains, this is called the number one strange stone. Countless rich merchants and magnates competed to be the first to bid for it, and finally in an accident it fell into the river, was washed by the water waves to the Zihua River, and then was fought by the fishermen of Zihua City. The twists and turns in the middle of this story are hard to tell, if it were not for ......"   "Do I look like a fool to you?" Lu Sheng lightly shook his folding fan and looked at the fat man in front of him with a light smile on his face.   This fat man was called Zheng Xingui, and in this Jiu Lian City, he was the second son of the owner of Ming Gui Auction House.   At the same time, he was also Lu Sheng's former best friend.   Lu Sheng and he grew up in the same pants, each other stinks, there is something to carry together, the relationship is irreversible.   Only this Zheng Xingui has a biggest problem.   That is greedy for money.   According to his words is that, pro-brothers also have to be clear accounts, or sooner or later hurt feelings.   The two sat in the Peony Room of the Goldfish Restaurant, and the fat man had a slender pink-skirted girl by his side.   This kid was staring at Lu Sheng with a face of egg pain at this moment.   "Brother Sheng, this is your fault. Brother I managed to get a rare and precious treasure with great difficulty and gave you a favorable opportunity to bid on it internally, even if you don't treasure it, you're actually still burying me."   Fatty pointed at Lu Sheng with a pained look.   "Come on, come on, put that set of yours away. Do you have any news about the martial arts secret that I'm looking for?"   Lu Sheng continued to ask.   He had looked for this self-haired young man to come over with the purpose of collecting more martial arts secrets.   One Black Tiger Blade Technique was not enough. It was far from enough.   He sort of understood the chances of an expert like Zhao Bo defending himself in the wild.   No wonder he had never heard of anyone traveling alone. This wilderness was full of ferocious beasts, and setting out alone was simply looking for death.   Zhao Bo Zhao Dahu, who was renowned in Jiu Lian City, could only deal with three wild wolves alone, the limit was perhaps four wild wolves, if there were more, the so-called top good fighter of Jiu Lian City would have to kneel.   "Martial arts secret book this thing, real and fake hard to distinguish not to mention, there are a lot of hidden traps, even if it is true, some of the practice method, as long as a little bit wrong, practice for a long time there is the danger of lifelong disability. Sheng brother you want this to do what? Without a master to lead the way, there isn't much use in buying this secret book."   Zheng Xiangui rubbed the white jade trigger on his hand and curiously said.   "You're the one who understands." Lu Sheng laughed, "I naturally have my uses. Don't you care so much, first find me a few books out to look at."   Zheng Xiangui's neck shook.   "Yes there are, recently a new customer consigned, there are two martial arts secret books. We found a master to authenticate them, and they should be the real books. It's just that without a master, no one dares to practice."   "How much is the asking price?"   Lu Sheng directly said.   "Aiya aiya, Brother Sheng, who are we, who are we to each other, why are we still so polite?" Zheng Xingui laughed delicately.   "Can you stop being disgusting?" Lu Sheng was speechless. "Name a price, hurry up, I'm in a hurry."   "I can only sell you one book, the other book has already been reserved by another honorable guest."   Zheng Xiangui laughed.   "One book is fine. Have you brought it?" Lu Sheng raised his eyes and said.   "It's still Brother Sheng who understands me. Thinking that you rushed me, I brought it straight here." Zheng Xiangui took out a thin gray cloth booklet from his body.   "This secret booklet doesn't have any moves, it's just a special kind of strength technique. One price, one hundred taels!"   "Show me first."   Lu Sheng reached out.   One hundred taels was equivalent to one hundred thousand dollars, this fatty really dared to bid.   The fat man hemmed and hawed and laughed twice, placing the booklet in his hand.   Taking the secret book, Lu Sheng carefully flipped through it.   This secret booklet seemed to be a small part torn from some large booklet. There happened to be only a little bit of content on pointing out strength.   Looking at the content recorded inside, this cultivated strength was called Broken Jade Strength.   It was said that after it was fully accomplished, it could accumulate all the strength in the body from the beginning of the strike, and after the accumulation was completed, it would explode violently, which could drastically increase the speed and power of the strike.   Lu Sheng looked at it, and it seemed that the techniques in it did not overlap with the Black Tiger Sword Mind Technique, so it should be able to be used in a stacked manner.   But what he wanted, was not this.   What he wanted was the kind of internal qigong, the secret book that could enhance one's physical essence.   From the miserable state of himself after the modifier modified him once, he judged that to reduce the side effects when modifying. It was necessary to enhance the physique.   "Is there that legendary secret book of internal qigong?"   "Inner family qigong secrets?"   Zheng Xiangui rubbed his chin.   "Brother Sheng you're asking me. If there really is such a thing on the market, regardless of whether it's real or fake, it can be snatched up in the blink of an eye."   "You also said that it's hard to tell the real from the fake, you should have some such surviving books in your family inventory, right?"   Lu Sheng was also a person of understanding, places like auction houses, auctioning things like secret books, they would all copy a copy down first, as a retention stub.   Zheng family so many years of auction house open down, the accumulation of storage book is absolutely not a few.   "Those ah ...... Brother Sheng. Even I can't necessarily tell whether there is a real book or not. It's not bad if there's a real book in a hundred. So far no one has been able to practice qi from it. Are you sure you want it?"   Zheng Xiangui hesitated.   "Brother I advise you, don't play with those stored books, in case you get something wrong, you can't remedy it if your own body breaks down."   "You have a method to find it?"   Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow, he was familiar with the fat man's expression, whenever he showed this expression, it was when he had a method in mind, but there was hesitation to know whether to say it or not.   "The law is there ...... Brother Sheng you want this kind of secret book, this auction does have a book ......"   Zheng Xiangui face showed a trace of difficult color.   "You didn't say it earlier?" Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows.   "It's not that brother doesn't say, but this thing, is to be put on the black meeting auction ......" Zheng Xiangui helplessly said.   "Black meeting?"   Lu Sheng instantly understood.   The black meeting was an anonymous auction, where all customers did not reveal their faces and names. Most of the things that were auctioned off were also unclean, and there were even some that carried the smell of blood.   Those who liked to participate in the Black Club were mostly outlaws and vicious people.   "Can you arrange for me to participate?"   Lu Sheng, however, had made up his mind to participate.   No one would dare to mess with the Lu Family even if they were ordinary criminals.   There were thirty to forty strong men in the Lu family alone, and there were also several experts like Zhao Bo in the courtyard.   The Lu Quan'an master and the government offices are still inextricably linked, in case of trouble can also have the army to help.   Such a big family, really not afraid of the general murderers.
