Corpses were strewn across the ground and blood was everywhere.
The castle-like building had been burnt to nothing but an empty shelf. It was a scene of complete devastation.
As Old Tiger Lu walked forward in big strides, his heart ached like it had been slashed by a knife when he saw the devastating sights. Those were his subordinates. All of that was his hard work!
How could Old Tiger Lu not be furious to see everything completely destroyed?
His face was ashen, his eyes bloodshot and he emitted a terrifying aura like he was about to swallow someone as he quickly went into the hall.
All his subordinates had already begun the search for traces of the enemy, but Old Tiger Lu was more concerned about something else.
Before long, he came to the end of the hall.
There should have been a stone wall there, but now a huge hole had split it open, revealing a spiral staircase that led to the underground.
“Damn it!”
Old Tiger Lu’s cheeks twitched uncontrollably. He motioned with his hand, gritted his teeth and commanded, “You all stay here and wait!”
As he issued the command, he was already rushing into the hole and then he disappeared down the spiral staircase.
The Black Tiger Gang subordinates glanced at each other in puzzlement.
“That seems to be our Gang Leader’s treasure trove?” whispered someone.
“It’s more than a treasure trove. The wealth that our gang leader has accumulated over the years and all the properties that our gang have plundered are stored there!”
“But from the looks of it…the enemy has already discovered it.”
There was a clamor of discussion everywhere, and everyone’s face grew overcast. If Old Tiger Lu hadn’t given an order, they would have charged in to find out what was going on.
However, they also knew that, regardless of whether the treasure trove had been looted or not, Old Tiger Lu wouldn’t let them near the treasure trove given how he loved money more than his life.
“Ah, we clearly have come back too late. The thief has likely escaped already,” someone sighed, and it made the others even gloomier.
……
The bottom of the spiral staircase was a basement room with moonstones embedded into all the walls. The soft glimmer around them dispelled the darkness.
This was the Black Tiger Gang’s treasure trove!
When Old Tiger stepped into the basement and saw the situation inside, his vision flashed black and he almost vomited blood.
In the huge space, the dozens of giant bronze boxes that were originally packed with gold, silver, jewelry and aeth medicines were now in disarray, and the copper locks on them were all destroyed. The boxes had been completely emptied and not a single copper coin was left behind!
All of that was the wealth that Old Tiger Lu had spent decades to accumulate. The suffocation, anger, and madness that Old Tiger Lu felt made him look malevolent. The veins on his forehead throbbed and burst, and he finally couldn’t help but roar in fury, “Damn it!”
His voice was like a clap of thunder, shaking the walls.
Boom!
Suddenly, the corner of the innermost wall suddenly crumbled, revealing a bronze door; however, a crack had split the door open and there was enough space for a person to squeeze through.
Old Tiger Lu was so infuriated that his entire body trembled and his eyes almost split apart and bled.
It was a door that he personally made as an escape route for himself. If any unpredictable danger were to happen, he could safely run away with all his wealth.
In order to create the door, Old Tiger Lu had hired a rune master to engrave a rune lock on it.
In the end, Old Tiger Lu even killed the rune master to prevent him from leaking his secret. Who would have thought that the escape door would be discovered and even damaged?!
Old Tiger Lu’s beard and hair were bristling and crackling from anger. His qi pulsed and raged around him and his ashen face was incredibly terrifying. How would he not know that the enemy had already taken all his wealth and left through the escape door that he made?
His decades of hard work had only helped something else in the end. Old Tiger Lu was so furious that he almost went berserk and his heart was about to explode.
“Curse you, bastard! Don’t let me catch you, otherwise I will slash you thousands of times until you bleed to death!” he thundered.
Shua!
A blade flashed in the corner of his eyes like a bolt of lightning. It was aiming to kill Old Tiger Lu from behind.
Hm?
Though Old Tiger Lu was immersed in wrath, his fighting instinct remained. He immediately sensed danger approaching, but instead of evading, he spun around and thrust his palm forward!
Rumble!
Instantly, the terrifying Spirit Dipper Qi transformed into a tangible form and tumbled like raging waves, scattering even the air.
Before the blade even neared, it was whipped away like a little boat in a vast ocean.
Bang!
A black shadow slammed into the wall in the distance and let out a grunt: it was Lin Xun.
However, at this moment, his face was deathly pale, his pupils constricted, and his heart rapidly palpitating. Is this the power of a Spirit Dipper cultivator?
He originally thought that the timing of his sneak attack was perfect, and that, even if he couldn’t kill him, he could at least severely wound him.
Who would have thought that he only found out that he was wrong when they exchanged attacks? And he was ridiculously wrong!
As a cultivator at the Spirit Dipper Stage, Old Tiger Lu’s entire body was shrouded in a forcefield formed from his Spirit Dipper power. It was impossible for Lin Xun to break this layer of Spirit Dipper power let alone get near him!
Just now, Lin Xun felt like a fish pushed into the sea and before he could react, he was swept away by a huge wave, unable to struggle or defend!
That was the terror of a Spirit Dipper cultivator.
Once someone reached this cultivation stage, their body would be shrouded in spirit dipper qi like an iron wall full of destructive power. It was impossible for a True Martial cultivator to even get close to a Spirit Dipper cultivator!
Even though there was only one level between the True Martial Stage and the Spirit Dipper Stage, there was a world of difference in power. It was akin to an ant trying to shake a mountain.
“Little bastard! You didn’t run away! Hahaha!”
Old Tiger Lu wasn’t surprised but delighted to see that Lin Xun hadn’t escaped because it meant that there was a chance of retrieving his treasures.
At that moment, Old Tiger Lu's mood was like a rollercoaster, alternating from sorrow to joy. He could barely control his emotions any longer.
While speaking, he was already speeding across the air and folding his fan-like hand into a claw. He firmly aimed for Lin Xun.
Rumble!
The dazzling black spirit dipper qi transformed into a giant claw that looked real and shrouded space.
This was the ability of Spirit Dipper cultivators. They had the ability to release Spirit Dipper Qi outside the body and kill from a distance! A True Martial Stage cultivator simply couldn’t achieve this.
However, as Old Tiger Lu was hovering in midair, his expression dramatically changed, as if he had noticed something. His years of fighting experience made him subconsciously twist his waist and limbs strangely, like a snake coiling up from the ground. But he had to suddenly forfeit his attempt to grab Lin Xun and instead slammed hard to the other side.
At the same time, a bone spear suddenly appeared. Its smooth, jade-like body was glistening with strands of silvery starlight, making it appear illusory and mysterious.
It seemed slow, but by the time that Old Tiger Lu had noticed it, the tip was already piecing in between his eyebrows!
Boom!
With a loud boom, terrifying aeth power rapidly spread like a storm wreaking havoc. The dozens of bronze boxes were instantly swept up and smashed against the walls, producing dull collision noises.
Lin Xun’s expression abruptly changed. Unexpectedly, Old Tiger Lu was clasping the bone spear in his hand and Xia Zhi, who was holding the spear, was held up in the air!
“As I thought, there is another person. I knew that kid can’t possibly break into my territory with his strength. So, the mastermind behind today’s incident is you, little girl!”
Old Tiger Lu roared with laughter, his face sinister and cruel, and his hazel eyes filled with deceit. He had moved unhindered in the slums for tens of years and was still standing tall, so how would he be an ordinary person? The opponents who had underestimated him were all now buried underground!
The way that Lin Xun failed to withstand even a single blow made Old Tiger Lu suspect that he had a helper. Sure enough, he only needed to use one move to expose his real opponent!
The pleasure of revenge filled Old Tiger Lu’s heart.
But an uncontrollable chill surged in Lin Xun’s heart. Old Tiger Lu is too cunning. Xia Zhi and I have underestimated him!
Without any hesitation, Lin Xun sprinted out to save Xia Zhi.
However, Xia Zhi suddenly raised her head, revealing her beautiful face hidden beneath the hat. At that moment, the entire basement seemed to have dimmed. An indescribably stunning face that seemed to not belong to this world had suddenly appeared.
Lin Xun was mesmerized. Xia Zhi’s beauty seemed more dazzling than before, and even gave off a charm that could sink one’s soul.
Her beauty also took Old Tiger Lu’s breath away as he stared in astonishment.
Pu!
After a muffled sound, Old Tiger Lu's thunderous roar resounded in Lin Xun’s ears, completely snapping him to his senses.
When he looked up, he saw that the bone spear, which Old Tiger Lu was clasping, had somehow pierced through Old Tiger Lu's chest.
At the same time, Xia Zhi was sent flying with a palm strike!
“F** your mom!”
Lin Xun was so furious that his eyes almost popped out and an uncontrollable anger surged in his heart. He suddenly charged forward and slashed his blade down at Old Tiger Lu.
Seeing Xia Zhi sent flying felt like a stab to his heart. That feeling was so strong that Lin Xun went berserk.
Lin Xun didn’t realize but when his rage took over and he lost himself, blood-like vortexes were reflected in the depths of his eyes. And at the bottom of the vortexes was an endless abyss.
Pu!
With a single slash, Old Tiger Lu’s head split from his body and hurled across the air. It had been unusually easy to kill him because Xia Zhi had already pulverized Old Tiger Lu’s heart and completely severed his life force.
Lin Xun’s slash only instantly ended his process of death.
However, Lin Xun seemed to have gone mad. He didn't care about anything, and after severing Old Tiger Lu’s head, he continued to slashed his body repeatedly dozens of times with the Flame Blade until his corpse became a bloody mangled mess.
"Lin Xun, we should go.”
Xia Zhi’s voice sounded. Although it was a little weak, it woke Lin Xun up, who was in a frenzy of rage. He rapidly gasped for breath and rushed over to Xia Zhi.
He saw the little girl curled up on the ground, her little face a rare pale and weak shade and her dark jewel-like crescent eyes also were incredibly dull and lifeless.
Lin Xun’s heart ached again. He didn’t care about anything else, so he picked up Xia Zhi, yanked the bone spear out from Old Tiger Lu’s body, and darted towards the bronze door that had already been broken open.
