Killing the Tiger

Weapons in the martial world are also divided into grades.

Weapons forged by ordinary blacksmiths are mortal weapons, which only have styles and no specific names.

Ordinary mortal weapons are made of fine iron, while the more advanced ones use hundred refinements fine steel.

Above mortal weapons are mysterious weapons, and those who can forge mysterious weapons are no longer ordinary blacksmiths, but weapon forgers.

Every mysterious weapon is a unique existence with its own exclusive name, possessing different powers due to the difference in forging materials and techniques.

It can be said that even martial artists in the Xiantian Mortal Transformation Realm do not all possess a mysterious weapon.

Some people are not skilled in using weapons, but most people cannot afford them or have no connections.

For Pang Heihu to be able to buy this Ink Saber Killing Tiger from the Refining Blade Forge, who knows how much silver he spent and how many connections he leveraged to acquire a mysterious weapon.

Because of this mysterious weapon, Pang Heihu's personal strength is almost number one among the three gangs in Black Stone County.

At this moment, Pang Heihu let out a roar, and surging internal energy flowed through his Ink Saber Killing Tiger, emitting a brilliant sharpness even in the dark night.

The broad and powerful saber momentum charged directly at Han Zheng, instantly evoking a tiger's roar and awe-inspiring presence.

Since Jiang Tai had chosen to join forces with Han Zheng, he would not waver. He did not hold back at this moment.

He swung his Tempered Copper Short Staff directly at Pang Heihu, with Han Zheng following closely behind. He pushed the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill to its limit, unleashing Blood Essence from his Wild Goose Feather Saber and striking directly at Pang Heihu.

Bang!

A fierce clash of metal on metal sounded, and Han Zheng instantly felt an unparalleled force strike him, causing the tiger's mouth on his hands to burst open.

Even his Wild Goose Feather Saber shattered under Pang Heihu's attack, and he was sent flying.

Jiang Tai was not faring any better.

His Tempered Copper Short Staff was directly knocked away, almost flying out of his hand.

A deep saber mark was left on the Tempered Copper Short Staff, which was as thick as a wrist. He immediately retreated three steps before stabilizing himself.

Dropping his broken saber, Han Zheng's eyes revealed a look of solemnity.

His Wild Goose Feather Saber was issued by the martial arts school. Its quality couldn't be called bad, but it couldn't be called too good either.

At most, it was made of fine iron, definitely not hundred refinements fine steel.

Therefore, with Pang Heihu's full-power strike and Han Zheng's own considerable strength, the Wild Goose Feather Saber finally couldn't withstand the force and broke completely.

"I'll kill you!"

Pang Heihu's eyes were completely red, his pupils about to split. He ignored Jiang Tai and intended to completely kill Han Zheng.

The people of the Black Tiger Gang and the Three Harmonies Gang around them had already engaged in a fierce battle, with shouts of killing echoing throughout the entire street.

Han Zheng moved, leaping into the crowd like a white ape in the forest with a few agile bounds.

The White Ape Through-Arm Fist not only contained fist techniques but also included movement techniques.

Therefore, although Pang Heihu was two minor realms higher than him in the same Xiantian realm, Han Zheng had the advantage in movement techniques.

Pang Heihu didn't hesitate, leaping into the crowd and hacking wildly.

His Tiger Roar Saber, when wielded, was even more fierce and violent than He Sheng's, even carrying a hint of madness.

Within moments, several people from both the Three Harmonies Gang and the Black Tiger Gang were killed by Pang Heihu, with severed limbs and broken arms flying everywhere.

Jiang Tai struck out with his staff from behind him, piercing Pang Heihu's back like a spear.

Pang Heihu turned and slashed down with his saber. Jiang Tai's Blood Essence and internal energy surged, and with a low shout, he forcefully pressed the Tempered Copper Short Staff onto the Ink Saber Killing Tiger.

The force suddenly erupted, and Jiang Tai managed to force the Ink Saber Killing Tiger to the ground.

From behind, Han Zheng formed a fist seal, his body appearing like a riding dragon elephant, possessing immense power.

With the addition of Dragon Elephant Strength, the Vajra Demon Subduing Seal smashed down!

Pang Heihu struck back with a palm strike. His palm was as black as ink, exuding a dense malevolent aura.

Under the Black Fiend Palm, Han Zheng felt an immense force, his own power instantly shattered, and his internal energy was suppressed by the opponent's malevolent aura.

The immense force even sent Han Zheng flying backward. Although he had no pain, having undergone the tempering of the Xiantian Mortal Transformation Realm, Han Zheng could already perform internal observation and strictly control every trace of his flesh and blood.

Under this palm strike, the bones in his palms even showed slight cracks.

Even Bronze Skin Iron Bones couldn't withstand such a powerful impact. If it happened a few more times, his palms would surely be shattered.

At this moment, Jiang Tai behind him seized the opportunity, directly abandoning his Tempered Copper Short Staff. The Positive Sun Palm, carrying a righteous internal energy, erupted and struck directly at Pang Heihu.

Pang Heihu's previous Black Fiend Palm strike had not held back at all.

When dealing with Han Zheng, he almost only attacked and never defended, unleashing his full power with every strike.

Therefore, he had no time to dodge and was hit squarely in the back by Jiang Tai's Positive Sun Palm.

The powerful palm force instantly erupted, and Pang Heihu spat out a mouthful of blood.

"You're courting death!"

He turned and struck with a palm, and Jiang Tai followed up with two more palm strikes, but he was forced back several steps by the power of the Black Fiend Palm.

Seeing this, Han Zheng picked up a long saber dropped by another gang member from the ground. Malevolent energy surged around him, and even the long saber in his hand began to glow with a scarlet blood-red hue.

The blade condensed blood fiends, the body transformed into an Asura!

Han Zheng's killing intent surged into the sky, almost becoming tangible.

With a slash, the radiant crimson blade, like a red moon, instantly appeared before Pang Heihu!

Pang Heihu countered with his Ink Saber Killing Tiger, slashing upwards from below. Amidst the clash of metal, the roar of a fierce tiger could be faintly heard.

But this time, Han Zheng was not sent flying.

The blood fiend killing intent seeped into Han Zheng's meridians and acupoints, stimulating his body and causing his strength to surge several times over.

Drawing blood fiends into the body was a power overdraft, and in the long run, it could even damage the meridians.

But the Blood Fiend Asura Saber was extreme in this way, attacking only and not defending, using killing to stop killing.

Although Han Zheng's long saber had a gap from the boost of the blood fiend power, it did not shatter.

His body suspended in mid-air, the blood saber slashed down.

Han Zheng channeled the power of the White Ape Through-Arm Fist into the Blood Fiend Asura Saber. With flips and leaps, he unleashed a barrage of slashes, forcing Pang Heihu onto the defensive.

Pang Heihu had been injured in his heart meridians by Jiang Tai's palm earlier, even having two meridians shattered, preventing him from unleashing his peak strength.

But seeing Han Zheng, the enemy who killed his daughter, now overpowering him, he disregarded everything. He forcefully stimulated his meridians to gather internal energy, unleashing a counter-slash with the Tiger Roar Saber, its sharpness piercing the sky!

The black and red blade edges collided, accompanied by a violent clang of metal. Han Zheng's long saber broke once more.

However, the chilling blood fiend power within the Blood Fiend Asura Saber followed the blade edge and seeped into Pang Heihu's meridians, instantly shredding his right arm's meridians!

Pang Heihu spat out large mouthfuls of blood. His forceful stimulation of meridians to gather internal energy had only worsened his injuries.

Jiang Tai, from behind, lunged forward, thrusting his Tempered Copper Short Staff like a spear.

The force erupted suddenly, and the staff technique surprisingly contained the power of the Positive Sun Palm.

Pang Heihu hastily extended his left hand with the Black Fiend Palm, but it was shattered by Jiang Tai's staff strike. Blood splattered instantly, revealing bare white bone.

Han Zheng seized the opportunity, closing in and smashing Pang Heihu's arm with the White Ape Through-Arm Fist, which was like an iron whip.

His right arm's meridians were injured by the blood fiend power, making him unable to even grip his saber. The Ink Saber Killing Tiger was sent flying.

Pang Heihu roared, gathering his last ounce of strength, and struck Han Zheng with a palm.

But Han Zheng neither dodged nor retreated. With Dragon Elephant Strength empowering him, he formed a fist seal, Subduing Evil and Exterminating Demons!

With the first seal, Pang Heihu's arms instantly bent, and he spewed out large amounts of blood.

His momentum unbroken, the second seal landed directly on Pang Heihu's crown.

With a crisp crack, Pang Heihu's head caved in from the impact of the fist seal. Blood streamed from his seven orifices, and he collapsed to the ground.

[Killed a late Xiantian Mortal Transformation Realm martial artist, gained 300 Blood Essence.]

[Detected that the weapon Ink Saber Killing Tiger can be sacrificed. Please pick it up.]

Han Zheng let out a long breath, his arms trembling slightly.

Although he had killed Pang Heihu, the latter was two minor realms higher than him, and his strength was far beyond Han Zheng's.

While Han Zheng's arms appeared fine, his bones were riddled with cracks. Another clash with the Vajra Demon Subduing Seal would have rendered his arms useless.

Furthermore, when he had previously activated the Blood Fiend Asura Saber, condensing blood fiends into his body, his strength had surged several times over. But now, as the blood fiend power receded, he felt as if he had been drained, his internal energy completely depleted.

"Pang Heihu is actually dead?!"

Jiang Tai walked over, looking at Pang Heihu's corpse in disbelief.

While he knew Han Zheng was not weak, he hadn't expected him to be this strong.

Whether it was the saber technique that condensed malevolent energy and sent killing intent soaring, or the Buddhist seal techniques, both were incredibly powerful.

In his opinion, Han Zheng's White Ape Through-Arm Fist was on par with Li Jingzhong's.

Han Zheng narrowed his eyes and said, "It was lucky and dangerous, but Pang Heihu brought it upon himself.

If he had fought both of us normally, killing him wouldn't have been so simple.

But Pang Heihu insisted on focusing on killing me, showing no restraint, and that was his undoing."

Under normal circumstances, Pang Heihu's actions would have been correct.

Kill the weaker Han Zheng first, then deal with Jiang Tai.

However, his heart was filled with hatred, and he attacked without holding back, coupled with Han Zheng's strength exceeding his imagination.

The result was that Han Zheng wasn't killed, but Pang Heihu was injured by Jiang Tai, giving Han Zheng the opportunity to deliver the killing blow.
