Lin Qing didn't care about the changes in Shen Wansan's heart. At this moment, Lin Qing's expression was cold as she looked outside. She even pressed her hands tightly onto the treasured sword at her waist, as though she would draw out her sword at any moment.

The surroundings were completely silent, without a single sound. However, Lin Qing's expression did not change in the slightest. A pair of eyes that were as clear as a star flashed with a brilliant ray of light.

"It's okay to come out and see who's watching here." After inspecting for a long time, Lin Qing still could not detect the person who was spying on them, and she could not help but shout out in a low voice.

As Lin Qing's voice faded, a tall and big person, whose hands were covered with calluses, slowly walked out. His arms were extremely bulging, and both of his arms were afraid of the force of not less than a thousand pounds. As he walked, his footsteps moved in a natural manner, completely inconsistent with his appearance.

Seeing that it was Qu Ming, Lin Qing's face darkened. The hand that was pressed against her waist tightened even more.

After a long while, Lin Qing finally said with a sneer on her face, "I was wondering who it was. So it was the Green Bamboo Gang's red stick Qu Ming. I have come here today to fight."

"Oh, really? "If Branch Lord Lin wishes to compete, I will accompany you." Qu Ming laughed coldly.

Lin Qing's expression was overcast as he forced out a smile and said, "Today is not the time."

"I think so too." Qu Ming also laughed.

Lin Qing knew that with her current strength, she might not be Qu Ming's match. This was because in the previous battle, Lin Qing had already roughly understood Qu Ming's strength. He was roughly at the third level of the Innate realm and was extremely powerful.

As for Lin Qing, her true combat strength was only at the level of a talented warrior.

The distance between them was like a mountain range, the two seemed to be about the same. However, as a martial artist, he was keenly aware of the changes within.

On that day, when he fought with Lin Qing, Qu Ming probably did not use his full strength. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to have taken more than ten Green Bamboo Gang members with him under the siege of a thousand troops. It was likely that he did not have enough ability, nor could he disregard a thousand troops as nothing.

"I wonder why Fellow Daoist Qu has come here today?" Seeing that Qu Ming had no intentions of having a fight with her, Lin Qing heaved a sigh of relief.

"I'm afraid you're thinking the same thing as Helmsman Lin." Qu Ming faintly smiled as he looked at Lin Qing, a sinister light flashing across his pitch-black eyes.

Her heart could not help but sink. Lin Qing could not help but say, "Could it be that Qu Ming and the other members of the Green Bamboo Gang are also hiding here?"

"Branch Lord Lin, you are quite smart. You do have such an idea." Qu Ming laughed and said nonchalantly.

Lin Qing's face was covered with dark clouds. She looked at Qu Ming's half-smiling face before lightly inhaling and covering the undulating emotions within her heart as she said, "The Green Bamboo Gang also has a hidden personnel. There is no need to make things difficult for us."

"There's nothing that doesn't make things difficult for you. If you, Lin Qing, are qualified, you might as well cooperate with me." Qu Ming smiled indifferently, looking at Lin Qing's hand that was pressing down on the treasured sword.

"From the looks of it, if someone from my Tiger Faction wishes to hide here, I will still need to pass through you." Lin Qing's face was ashen as he spoke.

"You can also say that. I just don't know if you, Lin Qing, are worthy or not." Qu Ming chuckled and said with an indescribable arrogance in his tone.

"If that's the case, then I, Lin Qing, would like to experience Fellow Qu's powerful technique." Lin Qing drew her treasured sword and let out a "clang" sound. The moonlight shone on the Sword God of the treasured sword, adding a few more threads of faint light that carried a hint of coldness.

"If Helmsman Lin wants to fight for this territory too, then this Qu would not mind joining your company for a while." Qu Ming's expression turned cold as he spoke indifferently.

"If that's the case, then allow me to experience Daoist Qu's prowess." Lin Qing's expression turned cold as she spoke.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid we'll have to fight. However, if you want to fight a life and death battle, I'm afraid you won't dare to," Qu Ming said with a sneer, black smoke curling around his body.

Lin Qing's expression slightly changed. She knew her own strength, so she naturally would not engage in a life-and-death battle with Qu Mingzhu.

"I only wish to obtain the right to enter this place, there is no need to engage in a life and death battle!" Lin Qing coldly said.

"If that's the case, then I don't mind playing with you." Qu Ming coldly laughed.

Lin Qing did not waste time speaking, he stomped on the ground and leaped into the air, his figure blurred, drifting erratically. He brandished the treasured phoenix sword in his hand and split it into three, as many sword flowers bloomed and flew towards Qu Ming.

Upon seeing the incoming Lin Qing, Qu Ming sneered. He gently waved the sword in his hand. Although it seemed slow, it was extremely fast, giving off a feeling of incompatibility.

Kengqiang! A metallic sound rang out as the two swords clashed in midair. The sounds of swords clashing did not stop.

With a "hmph" sound, Qu Ming's arm shook. Lin Qing felt a surge of energy surging towards the treasured sword, causing her to involuntarily take a step back.

Just as Lin Qing stabilized himself, Qu Ming's body moved. In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind Lin Qing. The sword light was sharp, and the wind whistled.

Feeling the cold chill behind her back, Lin Qing's face changed. She quickly turned her body around and faced her chest.

A sword struck over, striking right at Lin Qing's chest. The treasured phoenix sword let out a heavy metallic clanging sound.

The force behind the sword was extremely powerful. Lin Qing involuntarily staggered back a few steps before finally stabilizing her body. After stabilizing her body, her expression changed.

With a muffled "hmph" sound, Lin Qing uncontrollably vomited out a mouthful of blood.

After wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, Lin Qing tightened her grip on the treasured phoenix sword as she gloomily looked at Qu Ming.

It was evident that Qu Ming did not expect Lin Qing to be so tenacious. After receiving his sudden attack, she had only suffered a few minor injuries and did not suffer any serious injuries.

Lin Qing's eyes lit up when he saw Qu Ming's startled expression. He leapt into the air and faced his treasured phoenix sword under the moonlight. It was extremely beautiful, just like a sword that had come from the west. It had a peerless charm.

Feeling a chill coming from the sword, Qu Ming was also shocked. He quickly put the sword in front of his chest.

The force behind the attack was extremely strong, especially with Lin Qing's accumulated strength. She was extremely strong, so when she struck Qu Ming's sword, a deafening sound rang out.

Qu Ming was pushed back by the force of the impact. He staggered for a few steps before regaining his balance.
