Immortality Martial Arts: I Started with the Five Animals Health Fist

Chapter 222: Chapter 106: Wind Thunder Linked Beads! An Unprecedented Powerful Enemy!_1

“Hmm? The Divine Arm Crossbow has been deployed?”

Sikong Zhan was somewhat shocked, as he saw soldiers clad in black armor pushing several huge crossbow carts outside of Maple Leaf Forest, which were none other than the Divine Arm Crossbows!

“It doesn’t seem like it’s aimed at a mere hall of the Giant Whale Gang…”

Su Changkong thought to himself.

From what Su Changkong could see, there were nearly a hundred soldiers, and the entire Maple Leaf Forest was surrounded. The Ink Forest Army that had been mobilized consisted of no less than a thousand men, and even the Divine Arm Crossbows used for defending the city had been brought out. Such a grand display of force could not possibly be just to deal with a hall of the Giant Whale Gang, just as one would not use an anti-aircraft gun to swat a mosquito!

“What are they doing? They look as if they are facing a formidable enemy.”

Sikong Huang was astonished. She could see clearly; every black-armored soldier was stern, silent, but they kept a watchful eye on the movements in the Maple Leaf Forest, as if there were fierce beasts like a flood awaiting within.

“Since the two of you have come, why not show yourselves?”

At that moment, under a distant tree, a deep voice rang out. The voice was not loud, yet it carried far and clear; the person had discovered Su Changkong and the others hidden away.

The speaker was a man, burly and to the extreme of masculinity, different from the other black-armored soldiers. He wore a set of black and gold battle armor, towering like a Heavenly God, his whole body exuding an overbearing aura that left others breathless!

Just the armor he wore was a treasure that could not be found a second time in Ink Forest Prefecture City!

“We didn’t make a sound, yet we were discovered by that man?” Sikong Zhan and Sikong Huang couldn’t help but change their expressions slightly.

“Who is that?”

Hearing the voice of the burly man, the rest of the Ink Forest Army soldiers also became vigilant and turned their eyes toward where Su Changkong and the others were hidden.

“Let’s go, take a look outside.”

Su Changkong spoke in a deep voice. The other party probably wasn’t here for the Giant Whale Gang hall. Instead of guessing here, it was better to go out and ask in person.

Su Changkong and the two others flashed out of their hiding place, heading toward the direction of the burly man not far away.

“Hm? Three people?” The burly man was somewhat surprised because, in his perception, there were only two people’s presence, but three had emerged!

The man in the middle, with a rough appearance wearing a black robe with an authoritative air, was clearly visible to the eye, yet his aura was so hidden, like a piece of deadwood, it was difficult to perceive his existence through sensation.

“Sikong Yong…” The burly man understood in his heart, as the only martial artist in Ink Forest Prefecture City who could escape his notice would be a few figures. If someone were to appear here at this time, it would unsurprisingly be the recently famous Gang Leader Sikong Yong of the Giant Whale Gang!

The burly man waved his hand to stop the surrounding black-armored soldiers, who were approaching with caution, and he said with a smile, “Gang Leader Sikong, you have the leisure to stroll around here so late at night?”

Su Changkong did not respond; instead, Sikong Zhan spoke, “This place holds a stronghold of our Giant Whale Gang, and a distress signal was sent out. Naturally, we had to come and see. May I ask your name?”

“I am Gong Ba.” The awe-inspiring, naturally domineering burly man gave his name.

“Gong Ba! The Great Commander Gong Ba of the Ink Forest Army?”

This name caused Sikong Huang and Sikong Zhan both to be taken aback, Su Changkong as well a bit surprised.

Gong Ba, this name rings out in Ink Forest Prefecture City like thunder. His reputation was only slightly less than that of Sikong Yong.

Originating from the Gong Family, Gong Ba’s martial arts talent was extraordinary from a young age. With the colossal backing of the Gong Family behind him, his proficiency in martial arts progressed rapidly and invincibly. Having never experienced defeat since setting foot onto the path of martial arts, he took on the role of the Great Commander over tens of thousands of the Ink Forest Army, acting as the guardian deity of Ink Forest Prefecture City.

The Gong Family, with Gong Yulong as the Magistrate of Ink Forest Prefecture City and Gong Ba as the Great Commander of the Ink Forest Army — one civil and one military — they established the unshakable status of the Gong Family!

“So, he is Gang Leader Sikong Yong from the Giant Whale Gang? Indeed, he carries the presence that swallows mountains and rivers, with a dignified appearance!”

“What of it? Can he be compared to our Great Commander?”

As the rest of the Ink Forest Army soldiers came to know that the person before them was the renowned Gang Leader of the Giant Whale Gang, they too were somewhat surprised, and some compared Sikong Yong and Gong Ba in their minds.

One was the long-established Gang Leader of the Giant Whale Gang, the other the guardian deity of Ink Forest Prefecture City. Both were top-tier strongmen, legendary figures, and naturally, people couldn’t help but compare who was stronger or weaker.

“So, it’s Commander Gong. At such a late hour and with such a grand display of force, might I ask what matter brings you here?” Su Changkong nodded slightly, hands clasped behind his back, appearing calm and composed.

Gong Ba, however, showed a strange expression on his face. Instead of answering directly, he smiled, “If Gang Leader Sikong is curious, then please stay for a moment. All will be revealed in time.”

“What kind of trick is this?” Sikong Huang frowned with concern, but she too wanted to understand Gong Ba’s purpose. She turned to look at Su Changkong, who nodded slightly, deciding to stay and see. The Gong family had mobilized the Ink Forest Army, and even Gong Ba had personally taken charge; it must be an important matter!

As Su Changkong and the others waited, over a thousand soldiers from the Ink Forest Army had completely encircled the Maple Leaf Forest, and several Divine Arm Crossbows had been readied.

Silence, an extraordinary silence, under the moonlight, everything seemed to have come to a standstill, all were waiting.

“Rustle rustle rustle!”

Su Changkong’s brow gradually furrowed. A gust of wind blew, rustling the leaves, and not only that, in the wind there was a faint smell of decay and blood!

“This way! Be careful!”
