Just at this moment, a long laugh came from the surroundings. The sound was powerful and gave off a feeling like it was something else.
Lin Qing, who was going to stab Lin Danzi with her sword, heard this and her expression suddenly changed. She madly retreated behind Lin Danzi with a vigilant look in her eyes.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Qing retreated back as a figure flew through the air.
Then, there was the sound of two "Peng Peng" cries as the two core members of the Tiger Gang were sent flying. They landed on the ground with a loud crash.
Lin Qing's countenance was overcast, but he remained unmoved. He was well aware that this was the true opponent, and he couldn't afford to be distracted by the slightest bit.
Sure enough, after a short while, a tall and strong man with calluses all over his palms and his arms bulging with muscles, walking with a gait that didn't weigh more than a thousand pounds, walked in. When he saw the figure clearly, he realized that it was Qu Ming, the gold medal from the Green Bamboo Gang division in Red Leaf Town.
Upon seeing Qu Ming's arrival, the sword in Lin Qing's hand tightened even more. She had previously fought with Qu Ming, so she knew that with her current strength, she was no match for him.
After sending the two flying, Qu Ming's figure flashed and he appeared beside Lin Danzi. He cupped his fist and said, "Qu Ming came late and alarmed the Branch Lord."
"No worries, you've come at the right time." Lin Danzi saw Qu Ming coming and felt relieved in his heart. Originally, according to Lin Danzi's plan, Qu Ming had also arrived, then he charged into the Ju Yi Hall and rescued Deacon Zhao Yun. However, Qu Ming had not arrived yet, so Lin Danzi and the others could only blame their anxiety.
When Lin Danzi and the others heard the resounding voice of Deacon Zhao Yun dying, they almost couldn't hold back and wanted to attack, but Lin Danzi forced himself to endure it, because Lin Danzi knew that with Lin Danzi's strength, he was not Lin Qing's match, not to mention that this time's operation was very hurried, he did not have much manpower to gather. Facing the Red Leaf Town Tiger Branch Division, if Lin Danzi dared to break in, he would definitely not be able to live.
For this, Lin Danzi had a grudge against Qu Ming. If Qu Ming had arrived earlier, then how could Deacon Zhao Yun die like that? He would gain the might of the Tiger Gang for nothing.
When Lin Danzi thought that this trip would be a waste, Qin Fu actually ran away. As the Branch Lord of Red Leaf Town's Green Bamboo Gang Division, how could Lin Danzi not know Qin Fu?
Lin Danzi also knew that Qin Fu was caught along with Deacon Zhao Yun, and Qin Fu already had the intention to submit. When Lin Danzi saw that Qin Fu was about to be killed by Lin Qing's sword, Lin Danzi could no longer hold himself back, and he immediately ordered Wu Yan to rescue him.
"Because of some matters last night, I arrived a little late today." Qu Ming did not care about Lin Danzi's opinion of him, but he also explained why he came late.
Lin Danzi looked deeply at Qu Ming with an indescribable look. Seeing that Qu Ming's eyes were calm like water, he could only smile and say, "Brother Qu, as long as you are here, there is no need to blame yourself."
Hearing this, Qu Ming did not say anything. From Qu Ming's point of view, since he had explained the reason, it meant that he thought highly of Lin Danzi. Otherwise, with his strength, how could Lin Danzi be able to stand up to him?
Although Lin Danzi was secretly resentful, he did not dare to show it due to the difference in their strength.
Seeing Qu Ming and his men laughing as if no one else was around, the members of the Tiger Gang led by Lin Qing were livid.
"The few of you have come to the important grounds of my sect and even attacked and injured others. Don't tell me you want to start a war and end it all right now!" Lin Qing coldly shouted.
Qu Ming couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lin Qing. He couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity. He almost suspected that Lin Qing was the one who had barged into his courtyard last night.
Furthermore, the person last night had already been severely injured by him, making it impossible for him to quickly recover. Furthermore, looking at Lin Qing, Qu Ming could not sense even the slightest hint of injury. Therefore, although he felt puzzled, he did not believe that Lin Qing was the person who had barged into his courtyard last night.
What Qu Ming did not know was that Lin Qing practiced the Dao of Mystical Opening. Perhaps in terms of fighting ability, this Immortal scripture was far inferior to the secret technique, but in terms of body recovery, she was able to pull down an ordinary manual by a hundred thousand miles. This was also the main reason for Qu Ming's misjudgement.
"So what if I am?" Qu Ming did not pay the slightest attention to Lin Qing's ice-cold killing intent. Instead, he coldly laughed as he spoke.
"Since you want to fight, then let's fight!" Lin Qing wasn't a coward. Although she wasn't Qu Ming's opponent with her current strength, the current situation wasn't ordinary.
After all, this place was an important place within his sect. Qu Ming and his men were all on their own.
As for his own group, there were over thirty people in front of him, and their numbers were endless. Even if Lin Qing was not Qu Ming's opponent, Qu Ming would not be a match for him under the siege of so many experts. This was also the reason why Lin Qing did not fear Qu Ming at all.
Qu Ming's eyes were cold. He knew from Lin Danzi that Lin Qing had the strength of a talented warrior and was not an ordinary person. Without a specific combat experience, Qu Ming was not sure that he could suppress Lin Qing.
Besides, there were a lot of core members of the Tiger Gang gathered around. If they started a fight now, it would be very disadvantageous for him with his current situation.
Furthermore, this trip wasn't to fight to the death with the tiger gang. It was to save Deacon Zhao Yun. Since he failed to save him and he was still delayed here, it was quite unwise.
"Helmsman Lin is indeed worthy of being called a hero. Since we're going to fight, then tomorrow will be the day of the final battle. You shouldn't refuse to fight!" Qu Ming sneered and returned.
"You don't need to worry about this, I, Lin Qing, will personally go." Lin Qing indifferently said.
"Good, good, since that's the case, we won't accompany you any longer." Qu Ming also laughed loudly and was about to leave with Lin Danzi and the others.
"You said you were leaving, yet you still wanted to leave. How could there be such an easy thing in this world? You hurt my gang members and brought me traitors. Do you really think that my Tiger Gang is easy to offend?" Lin Qing sneered and said.
"What do you want?" Qu Ming said in a cold voice. There was a trace of anger in his tone.
"Take three of my moves. If you take them, you can leave. If you fight back, don't blame me for bullying the young." Lin Qing waved her hand, and over thirty core members of the Tiger Gang surrounded Qu Ming and the rest.
With a clang, the swords were pulled out of the scabbard. Over thirty cold light swords were pointed at Qu Ming and the other four, revealing a shocking killing intent.
