Blade Slashing Tendon-Refining, Surrounded by a Pack of Tigers! (Seeking Favorites and Follows)

The main hall was brightly lit.

The leader of the Green Tiger Gang was holding his concubine, his clothes half-open, a wine cup in one hand, his eyes hazy with intoxication.

He was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance, distinguished only by a cyan birthmark slightly smaller than a palm on his right cheek, which was why he called himself Green Tiger.

This was also the origin of the Green Tiger Gang!

"Oh, Master~, when will you avenge my brother and kill those two, Han Qi and Liu Chu!"

The beautiful concubine writhed in the arms of the Green Tiger Gang leader, her tone a mix of resentment and coquetry.

She harbored a sliver of bitterness toward the leader in her heart, blaming him for ordering the destruction of the Golden Fish Gang without regard for her brother's life, which was currently in the hands of the Golden Fish Gang leader, ultimately leading to her brother's tragic death!

But she was clever; she dared not show it, so she could only vent her anger on the Golden Fish Gang leader and the two men, Han Qi and Liu Chu, who had captured her brother for the bounty.

"Hmph, who told that brat Li Hui not to stay put in the gang, but to go out and play the hero, clashing with the Golden Fish Gang members!"

The Green Tiger Gang leader naturally sensed the concubine's resentment; he let out a cold snort and drained the wine in his cup.

The beautiful concubine naturally knew that her brother couldn't stand people saying he only became a minor leader because of his sister, when in reality, he was a coward who feared death.

To prove himself, he had chosen to ignore their warnings and joined the fray, which led to him being captured.

But dwelling on these things was useless now; she only wanted revenge in her heart, to vent her anger on Han Qi and Liu Chu.

She swayed her snake-like waist, rubbing against the Green Tiger Gang leader, her voice sweet and syrupy: "Oh, Master~"

Her breath was as fragrant as orchids, causing the Green Tiger Gang leader to feel a stir of agitation, but remembering he was still abstaining from lust, he suppressed the urge.

"Drink!"

He grabbed the concubine's chin, pried open her red lips, and poured the wine from his cup down her throat.

"Cough, cough..."

The concubine coughed violently, choking until she was a picture of tearful misery.

Watching the concubine's painful and wretched expression, the Green Tiger Gang leader laughed heartily, feeling quite satisfied.

But immediately after, his tone softened as he began to soothe her: "As for Li Hui's matter, I naturally won't ignore it. Those two brats, daring to capture my brother-in-law for a bounty and damaging my reputation—they must die!"

"Cough, cough... really?"

The concubine's coughing subsided, her teary eyes filled with joy upon hearing this.

"Naturally, it is true. I have already sent Hall Master He to assassinate Liu Chu. I expect he is already on his way back; you will see Liu Chu's head very soon..."

The Green Tiger Gang leader smiled with smug satisfaction and took another deep drink of fine wine.

"Is that so?"

A voice suddenly rang out, appearing extremely abrupt.

Following this sound, a brilliant blade of light, like a tiger charging across a thousand miles, slashed instantly toward the Green Tiger Gang leader.

The blade was chillingly cold, whipping up a howling gust of wind, filled with murderous intent and as swift as lightning!

The Green Tiger Gang leader was startled, instantly sobering from his drunken state.

Feeling a grave crisis, he shoved his concubine forward to block the blade while he lunged toward a weapon rack not far away.

Pfft!

The beautiful concubine's throat was slashed open, and her body collapsed heavily to the ground, a look of terror still frozen on her face.

Whoosh!

The dark figure had already anticipated the Green Tiger Gang leader's movement and leaped, slashing a blade toward the leader's back.

The Green Tiger Gang leader felt a chill on his back; panicked, he hurriedly dodged.

His evasion allowed the dark figure to reach the weapon rack first. With a flick of his long blade, the precious sword on the rack was sent flying.

Clang!

The long sword left its scabbard, the blade light piercing the air with a sharp whistle, pinning itself directly into the ceiling beam!

"My sword..."

The Green Tiger Gang leader's pupils contracted as he looked at the sword pinned to the beam, cursing his own carelessness.

He usually kept his sword on his person, but ever since he had dealt with the Golden Fish Gang, he had become complacent and started to slack off.

At this moment, he knew he had missed his chance to grasp his weapon, and his expression turned grave as he looked at the figure who had suddenly appeared.

The intruder was dressed in black, wearing a Black Dragon mask, and held a long blade that exuded a bone-chilling coldness, looking both mysterious and dangerous!

"Who exactly are you, daring to trespass into my Green Tiger Gang!"

The Green Tiger Gang leader shouted sharply, his gaze instinctively darting toward the door.

By all rights, there should have been guards outside, but at this moment, they were completely unaware of what was happening inside.

This realization filled his heart with a sense of dread!

"Don't bother looking; they are already dead!"

Liu Chu's voice was cold, a flash of icy light erupting in his eyes as the muscles in his legs suddenly tensed. He surged forward, leaving a trail of afterimages in his wake as he charged toward the leader of the Green Tiger Gang.

"You want to kill me? It won't be that easy!"

The leader of the Green Tiger Gang pulled a dagger from his thigh, his gaze sharp. With a furious roar, he also charged toward Liu Chu.

Liu Chu's long saber flashed like lightning, his offensive fierce. He pushed the Duanmen Saber Technique to its limit, the blade light stirring up a bone-chilling cold. It was swift and extreme, every strike imbued with a heart-stopping power.

The leader of the Green Tiger Gang slashed his dagger through the air, cold glints appearing as he sliced through the atmosphere. He was also wrapped in icy killing intent, his expression grave as he prepared to fight for his life.

Clang! Bang! Clang! Bang! Clang! Bang!

The two figures clashed for several moves in an instant, the long saber and dagger colliding to produce a series of metallic ringing sounds.

This kid is truly extraordinary...

The leader of the Green Tiger Gang fell into a disadvantage, his face turning ugly as anxiety grew in his heart.

Liu Chu's mastery of the saber technique was natural and seamless, his moves connecting without a single flaw. Coupled with his mastery of the Yanglian Technique, the four strands of blood energy within his body erupted with formidable force.

His offensive was incredibly fierce; even a Tendon Refining martial artist would not dare to underestimate him in the slightest.

The mastery of the Yanglian Technique has nurtured four strands of blood energy, making my strength not inferior to a Tendon Refining martial artist. However, my tendons are not tough enough to maintain this for long.

Therefore, if I keep unleashing this level of power, it will easily damage my tendons. A prolonged battle will lead to defeat!

However...

Liu Chu's eyes were as sharp as blades: For me, there is no need for a long battle to kill an opponent!

He had practiced the Combat Technique, which focused on killing an opponent within a few moves!

When he defeated Luo Qingyue that day, it had taken no more than a dozen moves!

Wielding his long saber, Liu Chu's offensive was fierce, like surging waves, yet incredibly agile. Strike after strike, every move paved the way for the next.

As the momentum of his saber unfolded, the techniques of the style became increasingly apparent. The saber play, at times tricky and devious, at others swift and domineering, was dazzling to behold.

"How can he be this strong..."

The leader of the Green Tiger Gang had initially wanted to force Liu Chu back to take the opportunity to grab the long saber on the rafters. With a long saber in hand, he would have felt more at ease.

But after exchanging a few more moves, he abandoned that thought.

He switched to stalling for time, waiting for the gang members to come to his rescue. When dozens of them swarmed in, they would surely be able to kill Liu Chu.

But after a dozen moves, his heart sank to the bottom of a valley. He was already finding it difficult to parry, struggling to defend himself, and was at constant risk of losing his life.

Damn it, if I had a long saber in hand, I could at least hold out for thirty moves...

Despair welled up in the heart of the Green Tiger Gang leader.

An inch longer means an inch stronger; even lower-tier martial artists could not completely ignore the advantage of weaponry.

Of course, that was provided one could wield it; otherwise, no matter how long it was, it would only be a burden.

Liu Chu had already brought his saber technique to mastery, so he naturally wielded it with ease. His technique was exquisite, magnifying his advantages twofold.

Even if the leader of the Green Tiger Gang had been holding a long saber, he might not have been a match for Liu Chu, let alone a short dagger.

Finally, approaching the twentieth move.

Liu Chu suddenly deflected the dagger of the Green Tiger Gang leader and swung his long saber. A brilliant arc of blade light bloomed, and in the stunned gaze of the gang leader, it sliced across his throat!

The leader of the Green Tiger Gang widened his eyes, his gaze filled with nothing but unwillingness.

At this moment, outside the hall.

Rapid footsteps rang out.

Although the fighting inside the hall had been brief, it had ultimately drawn the Green Tiger Gang members to investigate.

Among them, the four hall masters of the Green Tiger Gang, each leading a team, appeared outside the hall. With grave expressions, they surrounded the entrance of the hall, leaving no way out.
