Chapter 63

Zhang Lin walked out carrying his blade; the edge was already a bit rolled.

No help for it; the fur of this group of monsters was too tough.

However, it was good material for making leather armor; he thought the Fourth Hall could add a few more sets of leather armor.

Although it wasn't allowed to be made on the surface, let alone worn or hidden privately, the Red Tiger Gang was an ordinary force, and there were people covering them from above! Qin Jiang looked over; Zhang Lin was stained with blood, and the gang members behind him were carrying the rat demon corpses in pairs as they walked out.

"Hard work," he said.

"Boss is too polite; this is what a subordinate should do," Zhang Lin said.

Although he had also mastered the Red Tiger Fist, he knew his place.

Qin Jiang smiled, "You watch here; I'm going in for a moment."

As he spoke, he raised his hand slightly, and Meng An walked over.

"Lead the way."

"Eh, Boss, please follow me."

The two walked into the Li Mansion; the somewhat familiar environment made Qin Jiang recall the first time he came here that night.

Who could have imagined that in just over a month, the situation would be completely different.

Walking in the courtyard, there were bloodstains all along the way, and the Red Tiger Gang members were busy cleaning up the battlefield.

This was also the time for them to make a big profit; one such time was worth a month of their hard work.

The two walked into the depths of the courtyard, arriving at the courtyard where the Huangtian Shenmu was worshipped that day.

"Boss, this is it; inside, there is a statue of a god of unknown origin being worshipped. The antiques, calligraphy, and paintings in the mansion are all here," Meng An said.

This was what Qin Jiang had arranged last night—taking the opportunity of searching for evidence to loot the Li Mansion.

Otherwise, where would there be a need for such trouble? Since it was already planned, even if he just threw a skinned wild goat at the Li Mansion gate, it could still be called a civilian cruelly killed by the Li family.

It was just an excuse anyway; what really mattered was whose fist was bigger!

"Wait for me here."

"Understood, I guarantee no one will disturb you!"

Walking into the courtyard, blood was sprinkled everywhere.

Arriving at the central room and pushing the door to enter, all kinds of antiques and old objects were piled up like a mountain, emitting a somewhat moldy smell.

Looking at the hundreds of antiques and old objects before him, Qin Jiang couldn't help but feel excited inside.

These were not comparable to the things collected from the common people; the quality was far better! Outside Black Mountain City, at the source of the Stone Lion River.

Two figures, a man and a woman, stood on the shore, looking at the stone lion statue in the center of the lake.

"I have already finished all the arrangements in the city; only you are left."

The female voice spoke; if Qin Jiang or Meng An were here, they would definitely be able to tell who the owner of this voice was—it was Lanyi, the procuress of Chaofeng Tower.

"No need to rush; at most, half a month will be enough. Come to think of it, it's a coincidence; I didn't expect the people of this Black Mountain City to completely ignore these refugees, which made my plan proceed very smoothly. Hehe, this can be considered them eating their own bitter fruit," the male voice said.

"You have already delayed the Master for a long time; it's best not to have any more accidents this time!" Lanyi said.

"Hmph! That goes without saying. If it weren't for that old freak Wang in Ning'an City disrupting our Pavilion Master's plan this time, the Ghost Mist would have already swallowed this place!"

Li Mansion, Qin Jiang put down the last bronze fragment.

He carefully observed this pattern; it was extremely similar to the Nightmare Beast pattern bronze mask from before.

Putting away the fragment, he walked out of the courtyard, and Meng An immediately leaned over.

"Find a time to exchange the things inside for silver, take thirty percent to distribute among the brothers, and use the rest to continue collecting," Qin Jiang said.

"Understood, Boss!"

Meng An said pleasantly; even if he wasn't a professional, anyone could see that the things inside were valuable goods! After all, these were treasures collected by the Li family, one of the four great families of Black Mountain City! At the very least, seven or eight thousand taels! They could even sell for a high price of ten thousand taels!

The only thing he found a pity was that the Li family was now dead in name only, and he couldn't sell them to that Li Family Antique Shop in the Inner City.

However, he could take this opportunity to go over and extort a sum! "By the way, take this, find a painter to copy it, and give every brother a copy. As long as you encounter artifacts with this pattern, regardless of whether they are antiques or old objects, take them all."

Qin Jiang took out the bronze fragment from just now and handed it to Meng An.

Meng An took the bronze fragment; he hadn't seen this kind of pattern, but he knew at a glance that it was a very ancient thing. "Understood, Boss; it will be done tonight."

"Fine, you guys handle the rest; if there's anything, come find me again."

Returning to Anxin Villa, Qin Jiang walked into the pavilion and sat down, impatiently calling up the panel,

【Current Martial Arts】

Longevity Five Qi Technique (Perfected)

Iron Arm Fist (Perfected)

Earth Dragon Body (Perfected)

Red Tiger Fist (Fourth Layer) (120/1300)

【Potential Points: 126.8】

Looking at the bottom of the potential panel, he couldn't help but feel a bit excited.

A full hundred-plus potential points; he hadn't harvested so many since his rebirth!

Without any hesitation, he poured the potential points directly into the Red Tiger Fist.

【Red Tiger Fist (Fourth Layer) (120/1300), Experience +1180】

【Red Tiger Fist (Perfected)】

【Potential Points: 115】

Boom——!!

As the Red Tiger Fist reached the perfected realm, Qin Jiang only felt the baleful energy in his body surging out uncontrollably.

In just half a breath of time, the black baleful energy had already covered the entire courtyard.

Roar——!!

A phantom tiger roar came from the air, and a semi-transparent black giant tiger appeared behind Qin Jiang, roaring at the sky.

Streaks of blood-colored radiance erupted from the giant tiger's brow, and the baleful energy in the courtyard was rapidly changing from black to blood-red.

In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, all the black baleful energy had returned to blood-red, and one could faintly see dark red particles like sand slowly flowing.

Changing along with it was the black giant tiger behind Qin Jiang, its figure beginning to rise gradually.

In the process of rising, streaks of blood-red cracks on its body spread continuously, like a fine spider web covering every part of the giant tiger's body.

A moment later, the giant tiger's figure had exceeded five meters, and its body was completely covered by blood-red lines, like a statue sealed in blood-red semi-transparent glass.

Crack~~ crack~ streaks of cracks appeared on the surface of the blood-red statue, emitting a blood-red faint light.

Bang! With a loud explosion, the giant tiger's body was completely liberated as if it had broken free from restraints! Its blood-red fur stretched in the wind!

Roar——!!! A substantial roar sounded, shaking the surrounding air and forming air wave particles like raindrops.

Qin Jiang slowly stood up, the blood-red giant tiger crouching behind him, its semi-transparent body passing through the pavilion without causing the slightest impact.

In a sense, although this blood-red giant tiger formed by baleful energy possessed certain materialized characteristics, it still tended more toward the spiritual level.

Or it could be said that this was the materialized manifestation of the Tiger Sha Fist Intent.

He clenched his fist slightly, and surging power surged in his body, far stronger than before!

Is this a Grandmaster? The peak existence of the Divine Intent realm.

A moment later, the blood-red giant tiger slowly dissipated, and his gaze fell on the potential panel.
