Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 539 - 483: Suo Lei Falls Into the Trap

During the following month, every time there was an opportunity, the Bai Shi Gang would go and cause trouble for the Soul Locking Gang. However, their attacks were not as intense as the first time, as the rule here was that fighting was permissible but endangering lives was absolutely forbidden.

Shi Feng and the others were meticulous in their actions, aiming to continually torment Sui Lei and his men. They made sure their strikes were painful yet not life-threatening.

Despite being tormented and suffering, the members of the Soul Locking Gang didn’t compromise. They harbored a fierce determination to exact revenge and trained hard in the Thousand Illusion Palm amidst their injuries.

Over on Chu Chen’s side, they were not idle either. However, it was only Bai Lao who was exerting effort. Bai Lao and Shi Feng would occasionally come up with a move or two to provide each other with some reference.

After a month of intense meditation, Bai Lao finally devised six different sets of body technique martial arts. Each set comprised twelve forms, and eight of these forms were completely identical.

What delighted Chu Chen the most was that when these six body techniques were integrated, they were executed smoothly and were not far inferior to the Phantom Body Technique.

This showed that Bai Lao had indeed put in a lot of effort. His gray hairs had increased considerably over the month, yet he was immensely excited about having created six sets of incomplete body technique martial arts within a month, enough to be considered a half-step master in ancient times.

Although the cultivation technique had been developed, Chu Chen was not in a hurry to pass it on. They needed to wait for the right opportunity.

The time for fresh air arrived again today, and the members of Bai Shi Gang excitedly headed to the field.

Inside Cell B2, Sui Lei was cheering up his members.

"Brothers, today is the day of revenge. Remember to teach them a harsh lesson."

"Don’t worry, boss. We’ve been waiting for this day for a long time. Today, we’ll settle both old and new grudges."

"Indeed, we won’t hold back. We’ll show them our true strength."

After a month of endurance, the members of the Soul Locking Gang could no longer contain themselves.

Sui Lei saw this and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "Let’s go." With that, he led the way to the field.

The members of the Soul Locking Gang followed closely behind, exuding an aggressive aura.

By this time, the members of the Bai Shi Gang had already been waiting on the field. As soon as the Soul Locking Gang emerged, they eagerly approached.

The two groups exchanged no unnecessary words and immediately started fighting.

Sui Lei and the core members were still under Shi Feng and the others’ pressure, but when the ordinary members began using the Thousand Illusion Palm, the situation turned around.

The regular members of the Bai Shi Gang were overwhelmed by the ordinary members of the Soul Locking Gang, and Shi Feng and the others had to quickly subdue the core members of the opposing gang before coming to aid.

Upon seeing this, Chu Chen decided not to remain a spectator. He instantaneously unleashed the Phantom Body Technique and Gale Fist. Within the span of a single breath, he had already defeated his opponent.

Unceasing, he charged towards the other members of the Soul Locking Gang.

The battle lasted for a full quarter of an hour before it ended.

This time, both parties fought to a draw, with damages sustained on both sides.

The ordinary members of the Bai Shi Gang were not lightly dealt with, and this left them highly dissatisfied. After all, Chu Chen had previously promised to teach them the Phantom Body Technique, but it remained all talk.

All of a sudden, Chu Chen and the other high-ranking members suffered a significant loss in authority, and there was a noticeable resentment in the gazes of the ordinary members directed towards them.

A dozen core members also began pressuring Chu Chen and the other two.

Inside Cell A1.

"Sir, can we execute the plan? Otherwise, it might be difficult to placate the guys below," Bai Lao asked worriedly.

Chu Chen calmly nodded upon hearing this and said, "It’s time to execute the plan. I suppose Sui Lei has been waiting for this day too."

In the following week, Bai Lao individually passed on the body technique martial arts he had devised. Naturally, the six doubtful individuals each trained in a different body technique martial arts.

As for the members of the Soul Locking Gang, they threw themselves into action without reservation.

Although they didn’t gain much advantage, there were two main reasons for such actions. First was obviously for revenge, and second was to continue exerting pressure on Chu Chen and the others, increasing the odds of acquiring body technique martial arts.

A week later, inside Cell B2.

"Boss, the infiltrators have started to hand over the body technique martial arts," Gangzi said, frowning.

Seeing this, Sui Lei knew things hadn’t gone smoothly, so he quickly asked, "Is there anything amiss?"

"There are five infiltrators, but they’ve each provided different martial arts. Could they have betrayed us?"

"Impossible. If they dare to betray us, the people of Bai Shi Gang wouldn’t spare them either. Remember, we hold leverage over them. However, that old cunning Bai Shi seems tricky. It seems we’ll have to keep up the pressure," Sui Lei said, waving his hand angrily.

"No need to worry, boss. Though the five martial arts they provided are different, eight forms are completely identical across them."

"Oh, are you suggesting these eight forms are likely genuine?" Sui Lei asked in a deep voice.

Gangzi quickly nodded, "That’s right. We’ve been in contact with this martial arts for over a month now, and I can assure you these eight forms are real. Besides these eight forms, some other techniques look quite familiar too."

"Say what you have in mind, don’t dally," Sui Lei said with some impatience.

Upon hearing this, Gangzi didn’t hide his guess any longer.

"Boss, I think about half of the other twenty forms must be genuine. They’ve just mixed the real and fake ones together. Otherwise, they wouldn’t delay spreading this martial arts among their members. They must have used this time to come up with some fake techniques to confuse us, making it hard to distinguish."

Instead of responding immediately, Sui Lei mused over it, stroking his chin in thought.

After a moment, it seemed like Sui Lei had made up his mind. He looked at Gangzi and said firmly, "Your guess makes sense. Gather all the core members, let’s carefully analyze and break down these twenty forms. By then, we’ll certainly give them a surprise." With that, he burst into wild laughter.

Inside Cell A1.

Chu Chen looked at Shi Feng and asked gravely, "The bait’s been set. Any fish biting?"

Shi Feng replied with a grim expression: "We’ve caught five fish so far. It’s frustrating to have these traitors, especially since I’ve shown them special care in the past. I never expected they would actually do something like this."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen was visibly surprised. However, he wasn’t surprised by the number of people who defected but rather that the number was far fewer than he had anticipated.

Chu Chen had his reasons for thinking so. After being oppressed for over a decade, getting beaten had become common for Bai Shi Gang. Enduring until now, with only five defecting, was indeed not many.

Bai Lao had similar thoughts as Chu Chen. He patted Shi Feng on the shoulder and comforted him with a smile: "Not everyone can endure like you. After being beaten so many years, with only five yielding, you should secretly be happy."

Shi Feng, albeit reluctantly, nodded his head: "Should we root out those traitors now?"

"No rush. We don’t have the necessary equipment here in the Soul Suppressing Abyss. Taking action rashly, they can completely deny it, and we won’t have any tangible evidence to present. It would only dishearten the ordinary members," Chu Chen explained with a smile.

"So are we just going to let them go?" Shi Feng asked, still unwilling.

Chu Chen shook his head and said, "No way it’s that easy. We need to catch a thief with stolen goods. Soon enough, they will deliver the evidence into our hands."
