Master Xiong didn't react until Qin Yiheng was right in front of him, and immediately raised his sword to block Qin Yiheng's twin blades.
"Click—crackling—"
The three knives sparked as they rubbed together. Xiong Ye didn't even blink and raised his foot to kick Qin Yiheng. Unexpectedly, Qin Yiheng pressed down on the two knives and exerted force, flying directly into the air.
When Xiong Ye kicked the wrong spot, he lost his balance and, with the strain on his arm, almost did the splits.
But Xiong Ye, a veteran of the underworld, was no pushover. He forcefully flipped Qin Yiheng over and rolled away.
Qin Yiheng was about to rush forward when Brother Niu and his men stopped him.
"Kid, you've got a death wish, coming after the Black Tiger Gang. Today I'll show you what Grandpa Bull is all about!"
Brother Niu's weapon was a spiked club with thick, sharp spikes.
Qin Yiheng raised his twin swords to block, but Brother Niu revealed a disdainful smile. He knew best what kind of swords their gang used, and none of them could be as sturdy as his spiked club.
Get ready to get stabbed through several holes.
"Bang!"
The blade and the spikes on the mace got tangled together, making it difficult to move.
Brother Niu let out a roar, preparing to smash the two knives to pieces, but to his surprise, even though the blades were bent beyond recognition, the knives still didn't break.
Did I not try hard enough?
Brother Niu gritted his teeth and twisted the spiked club sharply once more.
"Crackling sound—"
All that could be heard was a clanging and banging sound. Brother Niu watched as Qin Yiheng's wrist also flipped, and the knife slashed along the spiked club, cutting off the spikes.
That's impossible!
Brother Niu's eyes widened.
"Trash!" Qin Yiheng sneered, freeing one hand to reverse the steel knife and slam the handle directly into Brother Niu's face.
"Ahhhh—"
Brother Niu was still in shock when he was sent flying and crashed into the wall before coming to a stop. He fell to the ground and vomited blood, his face a bloody mess, looking horribly gruesome.
"Kill them!"
Seeing their brother injured, the rest of the gang were spurred on and attacked even more fiercely.
Master Xiong had already caught his breath and joined the battle.
He didn't think Qin Yiheng could amount to much. Although their earlier exchange made him realize that Qin Yiheng was no ordinary person, he still had the strength to fight back.
Qin Yiheng had infused his twin swords with true energy, making them indestructible. The other swords were now practically just pieces of wood, and would be cut in two if they got too close.
Before long, the ground was littered with broken knives, and everyone was clutching the hilt of a knife that posed little threat.
"What's going on?" someone shouted.
Many people dared not go up and stood there in a daze.
"Boy, prepare to die—"
Master Xiong unleashed his signature move—the Mountain-Splitting Knife!
He learned his swordsmanship from a master back then, and it was only through his unparalleled fighting prowess that he gradually rose to become the second-in-command of the Black Tiger Gang.
With morale low, he, as the leader, naturally had to boost his brothers' morale.
The blade cleaved the mountain with wide, sweeping strokes, its imposing presence a testament to sheer power. Qin Yiheng hadn't expected that Master Xiong was truly skilled, and his fighting spirit was immediately ignited.
"It's been a long time since I've stretched my muscles. I've warmed up just now, and now it's time to officially begin."
With Xiong Ye's knife almost in front of him, Qin Yiheng still had the mind to speak. Everyone thought he might have been scared out of his wits and started talking nonsense. What "warm-up"? After what kind of fight had they already fought, was this just a warm-up?
That's incredibly disrespectful.
But after saying the last sentence, Qin Yiheng threw away one knife and only took the other. He began to fight Xiong Ye with a strange style of fighting, fighting from the high platform into the courtyard, and then almost out of the courtyard.
As the fight progressed, even a layman could see the difference.
This is a countermeasure!
"You actually know how to split mountains and counter the knife? Who exactly are you?" Master Xiong was utterly shocked and dared not use the split mountain knife anymore. His knife swings gradually became chaotic.
Xiong Ye gradually lost ground, and the others, seeing the situation was not good, quickly came over to interfere with Qin Yiheng.
Qin Yiheng revealed an opening, and Xiong Ye swung his knife and slashed at his back.
"Watch out, boss!"
Suddenly, Leopard Brother pounced over from the side.
The fight between the two of them had just happened right in front of Brother Leopard, which scared him so much that he wanted to close his eyes but didn't dare. Now that he saw Qin Yiheng was going to suffer a loss, he didn't know what he was thinking, but his body rushed forward faster than his brain.
Qin Yiheng was actually deliberately creating an opening so he could turn around and slit Xiong Ye's throat.
Turning around, he found Leopard Brother right in front of him. He had no choice but to unleash a burst of energy, sending his underlings flying. Then, he grabbed Leopard Brother with one hand, pulled him behind him, and threw his broadsword with the other.
"Pfft—"
With his carotid artery severed, Xiong Ye stood there looking like a human blood showerhead.
Qin Yiheng grabbed the terrified Leopard Brother and quickly dodged away. He didn't get a drop of blood on him, but Leopard Brother was a bit late. His face was warm, and when he touched it, he almost cried. He was too scared to make a sound, but he also felt that the boss was really awesome, which gave him a lot of confidence.
Xiong Ye fell straight down, and everyone was stunned.
"I'll say it again: those who obey me prosper, those who defy me perish. This is the consequence," Qin Yiheng shouted.
Everyone hurriedly threw down their weapons, and when one person knelt down, others followed suit and all knelt down, bowing their heads in submission.
Qin Yiheng looked satisfied and slapped Brother Leopard on the back: "From now on, the Black Tiger Gang is under your control."
"Huh?" Leopard Brother didn't react for a moment. Could there really be such a good thing?
But the big boss doesn't like repeating himself. Seeing his serious expression, Leopard Brother quickly understood and immediately straightened his back: "Ahem."
"Master Leopard." Those with discerning eyes immediately offered a compliment.
"Yes, it's Leopard."
"Greetings, Master Leopard."
"From now on, we will all obey Lord Leopard's orders."
These calls made Brother Leopard feel very comfortable, so he simply started calling himself Master Leopard and addressed everyone directly: "It's fine, we're all brothers. Even if you follow me, Master Leopard, you definitely won't suffer losses."
Then, he knelt down directly in front of Qin Yiheng: "Boss, since you have put me in charge of the Black Tiger Gang, the Black Tiger Gang will obey your orders as long as I, Leopard, am here."
Leopard didn't know what Qin Yiheng was thinking when he gave him the Black Tiger Gang, but after so many things, he realized that following Qin Yiheng was the best way.
Those below naturally dared not raise any objections.
Qin Yiheng only made up his mind when Brother Leopard pounced on him. To be honest, this guy wasn't that great, but he was obedient, useful, and loyal. Those qualities were enough.
"Okay." Qin Yiheng agreed. "I'll contact you if I need anything."
However, he was not willing to get involved in the Black Tiger Gang's affairs. He was very familiar with how Leopard handled the corpses, organized everyone, and cleaned up the battlefield. Everyone was also obedient, so he felt at ease.
Having experienced so much in Yuzhou, Qin Yiheng realized that without his own power, he would be restricted and troubled at every turn.
But now we have it.
