56 Attacking the Old Snake Gang
When the smell of blood entered his nose, Jiang Ming quickly sped up and rushed into the clinic.
There was no one in the hall. Jiang Ming rushed straight to the backyard and saw a scene that left him dumbfounded.
Dr. Sun, who was usually old and frail, was now brandishing a walking stick and fighting with a masked man in black.
On the other side, there were already two men in black lying on the ground. They had a few bleeding wounds. They were clearly dead.
“And you said you didn’t know martial arts,” Jiang Ming could not help but mutter internally.
Just as he was in a daze, Dr. Sun had already struck the last person with his walking stick, sending him flying into a corner in the distance.
The man’s mask also fell off, revealing his face.
Jiang Ming recognized this person. He was an apprentice in Dr. Sun’s clinic. He was usually honest and unassuming. He did not expect that he would do such a thing.
“Li Shitou, you…!” Dr. Sun’s face was also filled with anger.
“Old man, you didn’t teach me real medical skills, so of course I had to find my own path. I didn’t expect you to be so insidious and hide your strength,” Li Shitou, the apprentice, sneered.
“It’s a pity that you’re going to die now!” Dr. Sun snorted coldly and rushed forward without any mercy. The walking stick in his hand ruthlessly stabbed his traitorous disciple in the heart.
“Are you also here to kill me and take my money?” After Dr. Sun had killed the men in black, he suddenly turned to Jiang Ming, his voice cold.
Jiang Ming was disguised. Therefore, Dr. Sun naturally did not recognize him. He quickly shook his head and waved his hand, “No, no, no, I’m here to buy medicine. I came here two days ago. Take care of your affairs first. Do you want me to leave now?”
After getting the formula for the Blood-Strengthening Soup, Jiang Ming came to Ji Shitang once. Li Shitou had made it for him before. How did things come to this in just a few days?
Jiang Ming made a gesture to leave, but Dr. Sun quickly stopped him and said warmly, “Ah, don’t go. You’re my distinguished guest. Don’t panic. These are all bad people! I was just defending myself.”
“You want golden ginseng and scarlet blood vine, right? How many sets do you want today? I’ll get them for you!” Dr. Sun threw down his walking stick, trotted all the way to the front hall, and began to find the herbs for Jiang Ming.
“I’ll have five sets,” Jiang Ming said with a face full of fear, but internally, he was laughing at Dr. Sun. He was a businessman through and through.
After taking the herbs, Jiang Ming quickly threw the money and ran away, leaving Dr. Sun counting the silver happily and shouting with warmth, “Xiao liuzi, get Old Jin to come over.”
In a small courtyard in a narrow alley, Jiang Ming was boiling the medicinal soup. He recalled Dr. Sun’s fighting skills earlier. His eyes were dark. Great Cloud City was certainly full of hidden traps.
“It seems that this Dr. Sun has quite a few secrets!” Jiang Ming muttered to himself. “I’d better not provoke this irascible old man.”
Jiang Ming shook his head. No matter what kind of medical skills Dr. Sun had, he did not need them anyway. There was no need to provoke this grumpy old man.
He looked like a third-class martial artist, but what if he was also a second-class or even first-class martial artist?
He calmed his heart and continued to practice his fist techniques in the small courtyard. His blood Qi grew stronger day by day.

Another three days passed, and news suddenly came from the city.
The Green Mountain Army announced to the entire city that since the uprising, the Green Mountain Army had been loyal to the people and had eliminated evil. All the rumors about the Green Mountain Army and the city’s bandit gangs were just rumors. Everyone had the right to kill him!
That day, the Green Mountain Army pulled out hundreds of bandits from the prison. They lined them up at the entrance of the market and beheaded them all. Blood flowed like a river.
“It’s finally happening!” In the small courtyard, Jiang Ming smiled.
The Green Mountain Army had finished reorganizing Great Cloud City and was preparing for the war with the Imperial Army. Winning over the people’s hearts was naturally their top priority.
The most effective way was to use these evil bandits as an example to establish their might!

At the Old Snake Gang’s base camp, inside a luxurious manor, a square-faced man with gray hair sat in the head seat with an ugly expression. He had broken countless cups today.
“Damn the Green Mountain Army! They’re despicable and shameless. They killed more than a dozen of our men!”
“Master, what should we do?”
Below him, many of the Old Snake Gang’s senior executives looked green.
During the siege, they had done many things to drag the Imperial Army back. They thought that the Green Mountain Army would give them credit after they entered the city. They did not expect this to be the result.
“What else can we do? We’ll leave the prefecture city tonight!” The square-faced man’s expression was dark. If he continued to stay in this city, he was afraid that he would be gnawed to death.
“The Green Mountain Army… the Shi family. You lot are ruthless!” His eyes were ferocious, but he could only accept this.
He had thought that the Green Mountain Army were fools who had followed them to get some benefits. He had not expected the tables to turn.
At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly came from outside.
“Hahaha! Duan Zhenwu, today is the day you die!”
Screams came from outside the door. The square-faced man, Duan Zhenwu, changed his expression. He did not expect trouble to come so quickly.
The Old Snake Gang members hurriedly rushed out of the house and saw that the front yard was in complete chaos.
“There’s a second-class martial artist.” Duan Zhenwu’s expression turned ugly when he heard the commotion in the front yard. He subconsciously touched something in his arms.
It was extremely easy for a second-class martial artist to obtain some money in the chaos of war. Yet, he had waited until today to charge into the Old Snake Gang. It was obvious that he did not want money. Therefore, he could only be after this item.
“If you have the intention to snatch it, you have to face me!” Duan Zhenwu’s face revealed a strong sense of hostility. “Even if I’m not a first-class martial artist, I’m still a second-tier martial artist at the peak of my realm. I’m not someone who can be trifled with!”
The gallery wall in front of him suddenly collapsed, and a figure full of strong blood Qi stepped in. An arrow shot into his chest, but it bounced off with a bang, not injuring him in the slightest.
The expressions of the Old Snake Gang members changed. A second-class martial artist had appeared!
The man did not even look at the others and only stared at Duan Zhenwu. He immediately waved his fist and rushed over, grinning hideously. “Die, you old crone!”
Duan Zhenwu threw a punch and sent him flying backward.
Although they were both second-class experts, there was a huge difference in their strengths.
However, before he could say anything, a foot came from behind, kicking him and making him stagger, almost falling flat on his face.
Duan Zhenwu’s hair was disheveled, and blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth as he looked at this person. He was another second-class martial artist!
In an instant, another two figures rushed in. A total of four second-class martial artists surrounded Duan Zhenwu in the center.
