Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106: Chapter 92: Who is the Prey? Overwhelming Suppression!_3

Gu Sheng held his position, suspecting the man to be the vendor of the Shapeshifting technique, but lacking evidence. At this moment, he still needed to maintain his guise and wait for the fish to bite.

He had a premonition.

This was a big fish!

The audacity to follow alone after witnessing the earlier fight, yet without retreating, suggested a Martial Artist of the Jade Skin Realm. If the man truly was the vendor, he would undoubtedly carry significant wealth—perhaps even the accompanying secret technique or ointment for the Shapeshifting method!

Gu Sheng’s heart burned with anticipation. Though outwardly he appeared weakened, he knew this person would not give up.

After gathering the spoils from the Black Wind Three Scourges, he retrieved the Corpse Dissolving Water and poured a bit over each of the three bodies. Soon, sizzling yellow smoke rose with an overpowering stench.

Gu Sheng cast a wary glance around, then quietly departed.

Some time later.

A medium-built, masked figure gracefully landed beside the three half-dissolved corpses. Gazing at their tragic state, the figure couldn’t help but click his tongue and murmur:

"As expected, the black market doesn’t offer easy prey. This supposed fat lamb was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Luckily, you three brothers tested the waters for me. I’ve survived in Jianghu all these years by being cautiously meticulous!"

"An Iron Skin Martial Artist... Though his combat prowess exceeds typical Iron Skin Martial Artists, he’s injured now—a great opportunity!"

"Earlier, while he was injured, his vigilance was at its peak—it’s unwise to strike at such moments. The best hunting opportunity is when the prey fully believes it is safe. I can wait longer!"

The masked figure lifted his gaze, eyes burning with greed.

Gu Sheng’s wealth, combined with the Black Wind Three Scourges’ loot, amounted to a fortune—enough to tempt anyone.

He suppressed his presence and followed Gu Sheng at a distance.

Gu Sheng continued running.

He detected no sound from behind but knew the man was likely tailing him, waiting for an opening.

He wasn’t in a rush.

Retrieving his hunting bow from the inn, he headed out of the city. If the pursuer was so cautious, Gu Sheng would actively create opportunities.

The city wall, though imposing, posed no obstacle for Martial Artists. Finding a secluded spot, Gu Sheng leapt over the wall in just a few quick movements, heading into the wilderness under the faint cover of darkness.

Sure enough, he detected that fleeting trace of presence again—the man was still following.

Within the city, the pursuer could use buildings to conceal himself. But in the open countryside, especially in the desolate wilderness, it would be much harder. Gu Sheng was baiting this man into making a move.

Whew!

Just as Gu Sheng moved into the forest beyond the city wall, the whistling sound finally came. The timing was impeccable—this was the moment when most would let their guard down.

A poisoned crossbow arrow gleamed coldly in the night sky, racing toward him.

In a split-second glance, Gu Sheng finally caught sight of the pursuer: similarly clad in black, masked, medium build, with eyes exposed full of murderous intent, charging in tandem with the arrow.

"Who are you?!"

Gu Sheng roared furiously, dragging his ’injured body’ as he barely dodged.

In truth.

A Jade Skin Martial Artist can sense the surrounding air with their pores, evading the arrow was effortless—especially since Gu Sheng had been alert for this hidden threat all along.

"Heh! The one who’s going to kill you!"
