Chapter 166: Kong Heartache in Action
They all remembered that Chu Yang once made a bet with them; he aimed to break through from a fourth-grade martial artist to a martial master within a month. At that time, they all thought he was joking, but now it seemed… did he even need a month?
He had broken through three ranks in just two hours… and now he was already at the seventh grade!
Thinking of this, the four of them felt somewhat dejected.
“Don’t look at me like that, I’ll get shy,” Chu Yang chuckled, turning around and shaking his body as he walked away. “Time to sleep… breaking through feels great!”
Behind him, the four exchanged glances. Breaking through feels great? Of course it does! If we could break through like that, we would’ve been overjoyed long ago…
“Hey, Dong Wushang, if you manage to be the first to break through and stay behind, I’ll give you the knife you’ve been dreaming about,” Chu Yang stopped, turning his back to them and said, “But, you’ll have to provide the ink iron for the Ink Blade yourself!”
“No problem!” Dong Wushang trembled with excitement. “This month, I’ll definitely be the first to break through, and then I’ll go home to get it.”
“Pfft! First to break through? Dong Wushang, who do you think you are?” Rocky Luo, Ji Mo, and Rui Butong all shot him sidelong glances, their faces filled with hostility.
“Hmm, I have a feeling I’m about to break through,” Gu Duxing, who had been standing coolly, suddenly said with a strange expression.
The four of them almost spat blood simultaneously: “You… you can’t be serious…”
“It’s true,” Gu Duxing nodded seriously. “Looks like I’ll have to go into seclusion tonight. Sorry, everyone, it seems my title as second brother is unavoidable…”
He turned around and left.
Behind him, Ji Mo screamed in despair, “Lonely… you can’t be so heartless! You just broke through to the seventh grade martial sect…”
Gu Duxing paused briefly and regretfully said, “I must correct you, I broke through to the seventh grade martial sect half a month ago!…”
Ji Mo sat down on the ground in tears, completely overwhelmed!
Originally both of them were at the sixth grade martial sect, evenly matched; now Gu Duxing was about to break through to the eighth grade? How could the prideful Ji Mo handle this?
That night, Ji Mo and the other three couldn't sleep at all. When the aura of Gu Duxing’s breakthrough suddenly filled the air, all four of them were in tears: he really… broke through…
That night, Chu Yang slept soundly.
That night, at the third watch! From the direction of the slums, a dozen figures soared into the air, flying towards the prison as if riding on clouds.
The Golden Horse Knights Hall was finally taking action.
Before the team set out, Kong Heartache seriously gave a command: “Make a ruckus! Create a big disturbance! Whether we can rescue Number One depends on fate! But you must turn the prison upside down. I’ll be guarding the butian pavilion, and once the news spreads, Chu King of Hell will definitely come to check it out. At that time, it will be the best opportunity for me to kill Chu King of Hell!”
In Kong Heartache’s heart, the life or death of Chu King of Hell was much more important than Number One. Number One couldn’t even handle an undercover mission and was captured alive…
Such a useless person still needed someone to rescue him… hum!
However, using this matter to kill Chu King of Hell could be considered a contribution from Number One.
Chu King of Hell had always kept to himself; these outsiders could never see him or catch his whereabouts. The only way was to lure the snake out of its hole.
Kong Heartache had thought about directly storming into the butian pavilion to kill Chu King of Hell! But without knowing where Chu King of Hell was, how could he strike and kill him in one blow? If there was even the slightest disturbance, Chu King of Hell would slip away. Moreover, as soon as Chu King of Hell took off his mask, no one would recognize him…
