My career aspirations have come true.

Chapter 47 Salvation and Departure

silence.

A deathly silence enveloped the entire underground boxing ring.

The audience had long since vanished without a trace, leaving only the thugs of Gangquan frozen in place, their faces ashen.

They stared intently at Ma Feng's corpse on the ground, their pupils filled with shock and bewilderment, as if they had seen a ghost.

Ma Feng, a seasoned Level 4 fighter with formidable strength and a fearsome reputation, was instantly killed!

This is absolutely absurd!

Are they dreaming?

Luo Xiangrong subconsciously rubbed his eyes, but no matter how many times he closed and opened them, the headless corpse on the ground was still starkly real.

A chill ran down his spine and up to the top of his head, making his scalp tingle and his teeth chatter uncontrollably.

Is the Awakening of Insects really this powerful?

What kind of bullshit false information did those Blackrock Gang idiots give them?!

While cursing the Black Stone Society in his heart, Luo Xiangrong's actions were not slow at all. He suddenly jumped off the second-floor stands and ran frantically towards the exit.

From a distance, the iron gate had already shattered into several pieces, the broken edges as smooth as butter cut by a hot knife, clearly the work of Jingzhe.

Luo Xiangrong grew increasingly terrified.

Even a worn-out, rusty iron door is still made of steel!

To be able to cut through steel so easily, Jingzhe is simply a monster!

How could they possibly defeat this monster with such a small number of people?

escape!

must escape!

Luo Xiangrong quickened his pace and ran towards the exit.

Just as he was about to rush out of the exit, he was suddenly hit in the back by a huge force, and he fell to the ground, landing face-first in the dirt.

Luo Xiangrong scrambled to his feet in a disheveled state, and upon looking back, he was instantly enraged.

"Are you crazy, Cao Luo?"

Cao Luo wiped the blood from the corner of his eye, glared fiercely at Luo Xiangrong, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Trying to run? Too late!"

If it weren't for this guy's tyrannical behavior, my brothers wouldn't have been captured and brought here.

Now that he has the chance to take revenge, how could he possibly let the culprit escape?

Just as Luo Xiangrong was about to unleash a torrent of curses, he suddenly heard a piercing scream coming from the direction of the boxing ring. This startled him, and the anger on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a deep pleading.

"Cao Luo, what happened before was my fault! I apologize! None of your brothers who were locked in the innermost temporary cell died! We didn't have any deep-seated hatred between us to begin with. Let me go, and I promise I'll never bother you again!"

"Only a fool would believe your nonsense!"

Cao Luo snorted coldly, pushed off with his feet, and charged towards Luo Xiangrong again.

Both were level 3 professionals, and their strengths were not much different to begin with.

Luo Xiangrong was already terrified by Jingzhe, and his mind was filled with thoughts of escaping. He could not even unleash 60 or 70% of his full strength, and soon fell into a disadvantageous position, being forced to retreat repeatedly by Cao Luo.

"Cao Luo, don't push your luck!"

What good would it do you if I died?

"You think you can stay in the North District after offending Gangquan?"

Cao Luo ignored him and launched an even more ferocious attack.

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of this pest, Luo Xiangrong's eyes hardened, and he finally decided to get serious, killing Cao Luo first before escaping.

But just as he was gathering his power, he caught a glimpse of the figure beside him out of the corner of his eye, and his body suddenly froze on the spot.

Seven or eight meters away, Jingzhe stood there quietly, the scarlet blood dripping from the long sword in her hand spreading a small dark patch on the ground.

Luo Xiangrong then suddenly realized that the screams from before had stopped at some point.

A chill ran through him, and he instantly understood.

His companions had all been killed by this monster.

"Spare me... spare my life..."

Luo Xiangrong's lips trembled as he struggled to squeeze out two words.

His response was a sword light of extreme sharpness.

laugh!

A flash of sword light, and a huge head flew high into the air, crashing to the ground with a thud and rolling several meters away.

The headless corpse swayed, then collapsed to the ground with a thud, gushing out scalding blood that stained the ground beneath its feet.

The boxing ring fell silent once again.

Jingzhe sheathed her longsword, glanced calmly at Cao Luo, and turned to walk towards the exit.

"Mr. Jingzhe!" Cao Luo called out to him instinctively.

Seeing Jingzhe slowly turn around, Cao Luo quickly explained, "My friend was captured by Ma Feng and brought here. Thanks to you for dealing with them, I was able to rescue my brother. Thank you!"

Jingzhe raised an eyebrow slightly and asked casually, "What's your name?"

"Cao Luo."

Which guild are you from?

"I'm not affiliated with any guild; I'm a freelancer."

Freelancers are neither affiliated with any legion nor dependent on any guild, and they have no powerful family backing them.

Most of them come from humble backgrounds, were introduced to the profession by freelancers, or successfully changed careers by chance. Their abilities vary greatly. Although there are a few strong individuals and geniuses, most of them are mediocre.

Jingzhe didn't know Cao Luo's identity at first; she simply let him go because he didn't have any red light on him.

"GangFist reinforcements will be here soon, get out of here quickly."

Leaving those words behind, Jingzhe didn't linger any longer, disappearing into the exit without looking back.

Cao Luo hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and could only watch Jingzhe's figure disappear through the doorway.

"The right timing...?"

After a few seconds of stunned silence, he suddenly came to his senses, turned around, and rushed back into the depths of the boxing ring.

He quickly found the temporary cell where his friends were being held, smashed the lock, and rescued them.

"Cao Luo, what are you doing here?"

"Did the Gangquan people agree to let us go?"

"How did you get hurt? Are you alright?"

A barrage of questions was thrown at him, but Cao Luo interrupted him in a deep voice:

"Let's talk on the way, let's get out of here first!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to hurry and follow.

When they returned to the boxing ring and saw the corpses scattered all over the ground, especially when they saw that Ma Feng was among them, everyone looked as if they had seen a ghost, and their stomachs were full of questions that were almost overflowing.

Seeing Cao Luo's solemn expression, they knew the situation was urgent, so they could only suppress their curiosity for the time being and quickly followed him out of the underground boxing ring.

About half an hour later, the group rushed into a secluded house, panting, locked the door, and then surrounded Cao Luo, asking him questions.

"Cao Luo, what exactly happened?"

Cao Luo calmed her breathing and recounted her experiences of the evening in detail.

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, their expressions dazed.

When they heard about Tian Shi's lesson to the Black Stone Society, they jokingly wondered if Tian Shi would also teach Gangquan a lesson, but little did they know that their words would come true.

Moreover, they became the parties involved, and even the beneficiaries.

"The timing is too perfect! Are they going to fight this fist-to-fight battle to the death?"

"Gangken was already hunting down people from Tenshi; this is definitely their retaliation!"

"We never imagined we'd be saved by the people of Tian Shi; it feels like a dream!"

Recovering from their shock, the crowd began to discuss excitedly, their faces filled with admiration.

Cao Luo was both amused and exasperated, and quickly raised her hand to stop them.

"Calm down, this isn't over yet."

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Cao Luo said with a solemn expression, "You all know Gangquan's style of doing things. After tonight, they will definitely not let us go. We can't stay in the North District anymore; we must leave as soon as possible."

"Where are we going?" someone asked.

"Let's go to the West District," Cao Luo said without hesitation. "The West District has the most freelancers in the entire Chilian City, and there are also quite a few freelancer groups. If we go there and train hard, we might be able to make a name for ourselves."

After tonight's events, everyone deeply understood the importance of strength, and they were all filled with a burning desire. After listening to Cao Luo's words, they looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"Okay! Let's go to the West District!"

"Once we make it big, we'll come back and teach Gangquan a lesson!"

"Let's do it!"
