Chapter 13 – Recognizing the Scheme

Chapter 13 – Recognizing the Scheme
“Born with divine power?”

Lu Tingyi strangely surveyed Chen Fan.

Chen Fan’s body was slender, and at the age of thirty-something, he looked almost as if he was in his twenties.

But no matter how he looked at it, Chen Fan did not look like he had any natural divine power.

“Are you sure, you haven’t practiced any other external martial arts?”

Lu Tingyi asked incredulously.

But following that, he shook his head and said, “Forget it, you want Iron Body Technique, I’ll think of a way for you, but whether or not it will work, I can’t give you a guarantee.”

“Then I’ll trouble you, Old Lu.”

A smile appeared on Chen Fan’s face.

Some powerful martial arts techniques and feats needed to be passed on through a visualization diagram.

For example, the Purple Extreme True Cloud Technique.

Such as the Light Shadow Swiping Step.

The Iron Body Technique of the Iron Body Martial School also belonged to this category.

Rumor had it that a long, long time ago, there was no martial arts in this world.

It wasn’t until an ancestor with outstanding talent gained enlightenment from the nature of heaven and earth that the path of martial arts was opened up.

As for the Martial Dao Conceptualization Chart, it could only be made by a martial artist whose cultivation had reached the Innate Realm.

Therefore, each visualization diagram represented a kind of innate realm inheritance.

Lu Tingyi was only one of the several martial artists of the Iron Body Martial Hall in the first place, and it was obvious that the Conceptualization Chart inherited from the Iron Body Martial Hall could not be in his hands.

“Don’t have too much faith, if I can bring the Conceptualization Diagram, you can just treat me to a drink, if I can’t, you don’t blame me.”

Lu Tingyi shook his head.

If it was in the beginning, Chen Fan would only need to spend some money to study at the Iron Body Martial Arts School.

But now, it was him who could not guarantee it.

“No matter what, I have to thank you, Old Lu.”

Chen Fan smiled.

Then, he left after chatting with Lu Tingyi for a while.

“This kind of power ……”

After Chen Fan left, Lu Tingyi touched his scrapped table with his hand, and there was still a trace of incredulity remaining in his eyes.

In this world, when a martial artist cultivated to the Qi Nurturing Realm, their body would be nourished beyond the norm.

But even so, it was impossible to easily break his table like Chen Fan did.

“I didn’t expect this guy, to have this kind of ability ……”

Before, Lu Tingyi felt that he already knew Chen Fan very well.

He felt that Chen Fan was just an older youth who was over thirty and still had fantasies in his heart, but at the same time, he was somewhat righteous.

However, he didn’t want to think that Chen Fan actually still had this kind of means hidden.

Thinking about it, he pondered for a while, and shortly after Chen Fan left, he also left the residence.

“Lu Tingyi has come out!”

The several people, Jiang Chi, who had been secretly monitoring Chen Fan, saw that shortly after Chen Fan left from Lu Tingyi’s home, Lu Tingyi followed suit and his eyes lit up.

If it wasn’t for Lu Tingyi, they would have rushed into Chen Fan’s home and killed and seized the treasure.

“What should we do, should we do it now?”

Jiang Chi whispered.

“Wait a little longer, it’s almost dark, after it’s dark, it’s not too late for us to make our move!”

Guo Tuo glanced at the sky.

Although they were bold, they were still a bit timid to rush straight into Chen Fan’s home in broad daylight to kill and seize the treasure.

After all, the few of them, the strongest of them was only at the Qi Moving Realm.

Once they acted too rampantly, it would not pay off if any righteous person looked at them and cleaned them up.

“Just as well!”

Jiang Chi held back the excitement in his heart.

“Huh? Chen Fan’s two guards have come out!”

Suddenly, the three of them raised their eyebrows and saw two silhouettes, walking out from both of Chen Fan’s mansions, and it was the two of them, Zhang Yi and Zhang De.

“You stay and continue to keep an eye out in case Lu Tingyi comes back without us knowing, Shi Xiang and I will follow up and see if there’s a chance to take care of the two of them first.”

Guo Tao pondered and rushed Jiang Chi.

Zhang Yi Zhang De were both Qi Nurturing Realm martial artists.

But with the two of them joining forces, there was no chance that it would have some impact on their actions at night, in some way. “Good!”

Jiang Che nodded.

Among the three, he was the weakest.

For this kind of thing, he naturally wouldn’t fight for it.

“Still buying medicine …… What is this guy Chen Fan doing buying so many herbs?”

Guo Tuo and Shi Xiang followed Zhang Yi and Zhang De and soon realized that the two actually went to another pharmacy and bought a whole bunch of herbs.

Seeing this scene, both of them were puzzled for a while.

This was because just two days ago, they had followed Zhang Ye and the two once.

That time, the two had been at another medicine store and had similarly bought a large pile of herbs.

And according to Jiang Chi, the last time he saw the two, the two were also buying herbs.

“This person, Chen Fan, must have some secret!”

Guo Tuo and Shi Xiang looked at each other, both reading the thoughts in the other’s heart.

The bigger the secret, the bigger the gain.

“Wait for the two of them to come out and walk to a place with fewer people, the two of us will put on a show and kill each other, pretending to accidentally wave the two of them!”

“Remember that we only need to seriously injure them, so that they can’t make a move at night.”

“Otherwise it won’t be good if they die and cause Chen Fan to be wary.”

Guo Tuo opened his mouth.

During this period of time, they, the Iron Fist Gang, and several nearby gangs, often fought each other.

The two of them, being the junior leaders of the Iron Fist Gang, each had a dozen lives on their hands.

If they were to seriously injure two people, or even kill a few people, it would be commonplace for them.

“Okay!”

Shi Xiang nodded.

Zhang Ye and Zhang De didn’t notice them, and after the two of them finished buying the herbs, they walked back the way they came.

Chen Fan used the Ternary Yang Fire Furnace to refine the Ternary Dan, the better the quality of the medicinal herbs used, the better the quality of the Ternary Dan that was refined would be.

But good quality herbs were not always available.

That was why he had the two of them come out often, at various medicine stores, looking for herbs to buy.

“Suffer death!”

Suddenly, just as the two of them were carrying medicinal herbs and walking to an area with fewer people, Guo Tuo, who had lowered his head to conceal his appearance and passed by them, suddenly burst out with a cry, opened Zhang Yi with a palm, and killed Shi Xiang.

“Get lost!”

Seeing Guo Tuo killing, Shi Xiang poked out a hand, grabbed Zhang De, and pushed it towards Guo Tuo, then quickly ran into the distance.

“Don’t go!”

Guo Tuo shouted, opened Zhang De with a palm and rushed after Shi Xiang.

“Poof!”

Zhang Yi and Zhang De spat out a mouthful of blood, their eyes in shock.

Things had happened too suddenly.

And before the two of them could regain their senses, Guo Tuo and Shi Xiang ran out of sight.

……

“What happened?”

Chen Fan asked in a deep voice.

He had just practiced the Light Shadow Skimming Steps once when he got the news that Zhang Yi and Zhang De were injured.

“My lord, we feel, like someone is deliberately targeting us.”

Zhang Yi was lying on the bed, his face pale.

Guo Tuo and Shi Xiang thought that the two of them had acted well.

But Zhang Yi sensed that something was wrong.

When normal people sought revenge on the street, where would they strike across other people?

Wasn’t this clearly giving someone a chance to escape?

“Someone is deliberately targeting?”

Chen Fan raised an eyebrow.

“Alright, I am aware of this matter, you guys first recuperate your injuries.”
