Life never stops in fear, not now, not in the future.

At this moment, all of the gathered members of the Tiger Faction were staring eagerly at Lin Qing, waiting for her to emerge from the abyss.

Unfortunately, Lin Qing did not respond to their gazes, nor did she have the ability to save the masses. If she could, then she wouldn't be the current Lin Qing.

Life won't deceive you because of feelings, won't continue, won't be because of your disappointment, will be kind to you.

Looking at the gathered members of the Tiger Gang, Lin Qing did not speak any impassioned words, nor did she make any soul-stirring promises, nor did she reward them with gold or silver. She simply stood there with her head lowered.

After a long while, he finally raised his head. His eyes were like the glow of a wolf. He pulled out the sword in his hand. The sword light was so bright that it was like water, reflecting an endless amount of images.

"Today, if you advance, you will live; if you retreat, you will die. This is a battle of life and death for all of you; I, Lin Dong, will say nothing more. I just hope that after this battle, I can meet all of you and drink with you." After speaking, the sword in Lin Qing's hand let out a long 'kacha' sound, shaking the hearts of those who heard it.

"Boom, Boom, Boom!"

The front gate of the courtyard was smashed open with a loud bang. Yun Hai Sheng led his elite troops and rushed over with a loud bang. At this moment, their gazes met with those of Lin Qing and the rest.

"You finally came." Lin Qing stood at the very front, silently looking at Yun Hai and the rest. The tip of the sword in his hand was pressed against the ground as well.

"What's wrong? How could Branch Lord Lin dare to show his face? During the past month or so, Branch Chief Lin hasn't appeared a single time." Yun Hai said with a cold expression.

"Is that so? Did you disappoint the Cloud Lord? " Lin Qing's gaze was like a serene lake, with no bottom that could be seen, staring intently at Yun Hai Sheng.

"I am not disappointed. I am merely surprised. I also understand why you all actually dare to continue fighting today." Yun Hai Sheng also spoke in an indifferent manner. His gaze swept across the crowd. When his gaze landed on Qu Ming, his pupils involuntarily shrank.

Seeing Qu Dai, Yun Hai felt a sense of foreboding.

"In that case, I believe my arrival will not disappoint Master Yun." Qu Ming also stepped forward with a hint of hatred in his voice.

Qu Ming also hated Yun Hai. That day, under the command of this person, the Green Bamboo Gang of Red Leaf Town had been completely annihilated. If it wasn't for Yun Hai's excellent safety measures, Qu Ming would have already found an opportunity to silence him.

"Yeah, I'm also very surprised to see fellow Daoist Qu right now." An indistinct voice came from behind Yun Hai Sheng. It was a tight-uniformed Long Xiao Tian. He walked out from behind Yun Hai Sheng with the Son of Heaven's sword at his waist. His eyes were cold as he looked at Qu Ming.

At this moment, Qu Ming's expression changed slightly as he said coldly, "I didn't expect that Lord Long would personally come today."

"How can I be absent from places with Fellow Daoist Qu?" Long Xiao Tian smiled and said.

Looking at Qu Ming and Long Xiao Tian, who seemed to have completely forgotten about his existence, Lin Qing could only smile. If possible, it would be good for Long Xiao Tian to be attracted to Qu Ming.

However, it was obvious that Qu Ming, who was standing by the side, would not allow Lin Qing to do as she pleased.

"Speaking of which, it was Branch Lord Lin who invited me here today. If not, how could I have witnessed today's grand occasion?" Qu Ming smiled sinisterly at Lin Qing.

Upon hearing this, Long Xiaotian's gaze involuntarily turned towards Lin Qing with a hint of coldness in it.

Towards this, Lin Qing could only smile, but did not explain any further.

"Enough of your nonsense. I believe that all of you should understand why I have come here today. Do you all wish to surrender or should I make a move?" Long Xiaotian pressed the sword tied around his waist and said in a cold voice.

"If Lord Long had turned around and left, we would have acted as if nothing had happened." Lin Qing chuckled. Her laughter was laced with a thick sense of sarcasm.

"In that case, there's nothing left to say." Long Xiaotian said coldly, but he gently waved his hand.

When Yun Hai saw this, he suddenly unsheathed the sword in his hand and shouted, "The accomplishment of your work is right in front of your eyes. Follow me and kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

After he finished speaking, Yun Hai led the way, wielding his sharp sword as he rushed towards Lin Qing and the rest. Behind him were the elites of the army.

Sighing slightly, Lin Qing also waved her hand at the same time. Huang Shan immediately signalled to her and also drew his sword as he shouted: "If you enter, you will live; if you retreat, you will die; if you follow me, you will die!"

With that, Huang Shan also jumped up and walked towards Yun Hai.

At this moment, the members of the Tiger Gang behind him also followed closely behind.

In the blink of an eye, the two forces intersected, and the moment their hands intersected, blood flowed. There was no beautiful feeling of battle, only life and death, the difference between the living and the dead.

Watching this scene quietly, Lin Qing did not move, Qu Ming did not move, and even Long Xiao Tian did not move.

The true victor of this battle was not above Huang Shan and the rest. Instead, it was over Qu Ming, Long Xiaotian and Lin Qing.

The battle was intense, but it seemed like both sides had a tacit understanding. Both sides purposely avoided Lin Qing, Qu Ming, and Long Xiaotian, leaving a vacuum for the three of them.

"If the two of you are willing to surrender, then I am willing to let bygones be bygones." In fact, even Long Xiaotian adored and admired the talents of the two of them. If it were Lin Qing, Qu Ming, and Qu Ming who were willing to surrender, then Long Xiaotian would treat them with the courtesy of a soldier.

"Daoist Qu, what do you think?" Lin Qing glanced at Qu Ming and said with a smile.

"What, Helmsman Lin has such an idea?" Qu Ming sneered.

Lin Qing nodded her head before shaking it again. Only then did she mutter, "What a pity."

If it weren't for the fact that she had fallen too deeply into the trap, Lin Qing would have been moved by Long Xiaotian's promise. Unfortunately, this promise came too late.

"Humph!" Qu Ming stared coldly at Lin Qing before turning to Long Xiao Tian and said, "Don't try so hard and talk too much. Don't even think about making us serve the imperial government. We won't be the servants of the imperial government."

Hearing this, Long Xiaotian knew that there was no need to say anything more.

The sword light of the Sword of the Emperor was as cold as ice. Under the scorching sun, there was not even a little bit of chilliness.

"Today, I will lift up my sword for the nation, slaying the worms of Er and other countries, and bring a clear breeze to the world." The sword tip of Dragon's Roar pointed towards Qu Ming and Lin Qing, and the words fell in an instant.
