Su Jie temporarily stayed at the Yan residence until the next night, when the Flying Cloud Society's operation began.
Late at night, the bustling Heiye City gradually fell into a deep sleep. The full moon hung high in the sky and everything was silent.
At the Li family shop, the door was closed. All the workers has gone back to rest, yet the interior of the Li family shop was brightly lit.
"Damn it, I have lost again! Are the people from the Flying Cloud Society coming or not? We've been waiting for four to five days!"
At a table, several burly men were playing Pai Gow around a table. A burly man pushed down the wooden sign standing in front of him and complained impatiently.
The Li family opened a shop in the territory of the Flying Cloud Society. The Li family naturally expected the Flying Cloud Society to most likely take revenge so they also recruited a large number of martial artists to guard the shop. They were just waiting for the members of the Flying Cloud Society to come in for a fight!
It was already the fifth day since the Li family martial artists started guarding the shop but no one came. They were undoubtedly a little anxious.
In the corner of the hall, a man in green was sitting quietly. He suddenly opened his eyes and smiled. "They are here!"
BANG!
A second later, the shop's closed door banged loudly as someone kicked it from outside.
"Brothers, grab your weapons!"
Among the Li family martial artists, the burly man's eyes lit up. He licked his lips and immediately grabbed the brass knuckles beside him and put them on.
"Finally!"
The other martial artists in the shop also picked up their weapons such as iron rods, wooden sticks, and so on.
In Heiye City, the major families and forces often had conflicts but they were all afraid that someone would be killed for that would anger the government. Therefore, they tacitly banned lethal weapons such as swords and sabers.
Bang! Bang!
After a few consecutive collisions, the door of the shop let out an overpowering groan and fell heavily to the ground. Martial artists in black clothes and various masks barged in from outside, opposing the martial artists of the Li family.
The spacious hall was immediately filled with 40 to 50 people. Even the air seemed a little hot and stuffy.
Yan Bin, who was wearing a horse mask, declared coldly: "Fellas, don't you think it's a little improper to open a shop in the territory of the Flying Cloud Society without telling us?"
Hearing this, the burly man opposite him laughed. "Opening a business depends on one's ability. We have the title deed and the business license from the government office. The procedures are complete. Are your Flying Cloud Society so tyrannical that you prohibit us from setting up shop here?"
The pie could only be so big. If others earned more, he would absolutely earn less. Yan Bin could not be bothered to waste his breath. He knew that the might was right. He directly shouted: "Attack!"
"Go!"
The two sides instantly clashed and curses and shouts were hurled ceaselessly.
The tables and chairs shattered and people screamed as they fell. It was chaos.
Some residents near the shop heard the commotion and woke up but they dared not come over to check. They knew that curiosity killed the cat in this world.
"They're just ordinary thugs… There aren't many martial artists."
A tall figure in an ape mask stood quietly on the side. It was Su Jie. He stood on the periphery, uninterested.
This was because Su Jie realized that these people were too weak. There were not even many third-rate martial artists, not to mention experts. He was not interested in attacking at all. It was like an adult not wanting to bully a group of children.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Su Jie's eyes lit up.
In the Li family camp, a man in green attracted Su Jie's attention.
Bang!
A martial artist from the Flying Cloud Society swung his heavy fist that hammered the green-robed man's chest. However, surprisingly, the green-robed man did not move at all. Instead, the attacking martial artist was forced back staggering as he let out a scream. His wrist bone was dislocated.
"Take him down!"
When the other martial artists nearby saw this, they were shocked and furious. They immediately surrounded the green-robed man to get rid of him.
The green-robed man's expression did not change at all. He flicked his sleeve and with the infusion of an inexplicable force, his fragile sleeve lashed out like an iron whip!
Pop! Pop! Pop!
Amidst a series of collisions, a few Flying Cloud Society martial artists let out miserable cries. The parts of their bodies that were struck by the sleeve were lacerated and bloody. They retreated one by one and wailed.
"Hahaha! The Flying Cloud Society obviously didn't expect that our Li family hired Mr. Nan Dong! He's an expert of the Ironclad Martial Arts School!"
A burly man from the Li family laughed when he saw what happened.
The green-robed man, Nan Dong, was a martial artist they spent a lot of money to hire. His power was profound and was not comparable to ordinary martial artists at all. He was a martial artist who was ranked in the top three in the Ironclad Martial Arts School with hundreds of students!
"Nan Dong of the Ironclad Martial Arts School? The Li family actually hired him?"
Yan Bin also recognized the man in green and was shocked.
Nan Dong was quite famous in the martial arts world of Heiye City. He was a quasi-first-rate martial artist with unfathomable power in the ironclad arts!
"Take them down! Tie them all up and send them to the authorities. We must embarrass the Flying Cloud Society!"
The burly man hollered. With Nan Dong around, they would undoubtedly be able to destroy these Flying Cloud Society martial artists!
"Not a single powerful person here?" The green-robed man defeated several people in just two or three breaths. He was expressionless for he was slightly disappointed. With his strength, it was not difficult at all to deal with these people.
However, at that moment, the green-robed man's pupils constricted slightly as he felt a terrifying threat!
"BOOM!"
A tall figure tore through the air and instantly appeared in front of him from a few feet in front of him. His huge fist came crashing towards the green-robed man like a meteorite. Before the fist arrived, a terrifying pressure enveloped him.
"Iron Sleeve Technique!"
The man in green did not dare to be careless at all. He poured his internal energy into his sleeve and flicked it forcefully, hitting Su Jie's wrist. He slightly changed the direction of the punch and twisted his body, avoiding Su Jie's heavy punch.
BANG!
Su Jie's punch landed on a nearby table. The wooden table, more than a meter in circumference, exploded with a bang. It shattered into splinters that flew everywhere as if it had been hit by a savage beast!
"Huh? Inner strength?"
Su Jie was rather surprised. His punch had a force of 1000 pounds. This man in green used his sleeve to slightly block his punch. It was quite astonishing. Moreover, the force contained in his sleeve made Su Jie's wrist ache slightly. This was inner strength!
In the path of a martial artist, internal cultivation was undoubtedly the most important.
Compared to external skills that could be cultivated quickly, internal skills needed to be cultivated steadily and accumulated over a long period of time!
Su Jie's Ape Demon King Kong Fist was a body-tempering fist technique. No matter how much he practiced, he would not be able to cultivate inner strength. This was also the first time he had encountered other inner strength experts.
"Struck by my Iron Sleeve… and completely unharmed?"
The green-robed man, Nan Dong, was even more shocked. He injected his Qi into his sleeve, which was like an iron whip or iron rod. When it struck the enemy's fragile wrist, it would at least shatter his wrist bone but Su Jie was completely fine!
The body-tempering effect of the Ape Demon King Kong Fist, which was already in the third level for Su Jie, was not useless!
"Alright! Take another one of my moves!"
Su Jie's blood boiled. Facing an expert like the green-robed man, his determination surged. His tall body took a step forward and a ferocious aura emanated like a ferocious beast that was about to devour someone. That aura could intimidate ordinary people and make them concede.
Ape Demon King Kong Fist, Ape Demon Striking Drum!
Su Jie raised his fists and two huge fists smashed down. The airflow was torn apart and 1500 pounds of divine power erupted from him without holding back!
