From the moment the Tiger Soul awakened, I became invincible.

Chapter 140 Reigniting Blood, Terrifying Combat Power

However, just when Qin Wu thought the two sides were about to fight, the Green-Faced Ghost of the Iron Heart Gang suddenly laughed a few times and then said:

"Old ghost, it's fine if you want to protect this kid, but I have to make it clear to you that the treasures in this pool have indeed been taken away by that kid."

"Our Iron Heart Gang currently has no intention of fighting your Crimson Wind Army, but that doesn't mean we're afraid of you. We've remembered what happened today, and we will surely retaliate in the future."

After saying that, he turned around and shouted, "Let's go!"

Then, he and the Iron Heart Gang left, their faces ashen. If they hadn't had other important matters to attend to in Sword Qi Valley, they wouldn't have suffered this humiliation.

No, it was all worth it.

Since the lotus flower has already been taken, so be it. But their purpose in coming to the valley this time absolutely cannot be ruined, because that is what can truly transform their Iron Heart Gang.

Chen Ning frowned upon seeing the Iron Heart Gang's attitude. He immediately realized that the Iron Heart Gang probably had other intentions, otherwise they wouldn't be acting this way.

However, even so, he had no other choice now. He didn't know what these people's purpose was, but what lay before him was the vested interest.

Cultivating here will surely allow him to further improve his strength. Before long, he will be able to break through and become a martial artist in the True Self Realm.

By then, even if the Iron Heart Gang had some schemes and tricks, they would be useless in the face of absolute power.

Moreover, not only that, but his subordinates also made breakthroughs. This time, he brought only his own trusted men, and their breakthroughs would significantly boost his power.

So no matter what, now that Tie Xin has left, it's a good thing for the Red Wind Army, especially for Tie Xin himself.

His gaze then turned to Qin Wu, whose expression darkened slightly upon seeing Chen Nian's gaze. He had initially assumed the two sides would inevitably clash until that point, at least allowing him to escape the trouble by salvaging some residual energy.

After all, even with his current strength, dealing with the combined forces of both sides would be quite troublesome. However, he hadn't expected the Iron Heart Gang to retreat so decisively. Yet, there was no fear on his face; he had nothing to fear from the Crimson Wind Army.

Chen Nian began to speak:

"Young man, I'll say it again: if you're willing to join my Crimson Wind Army, then my Crimson Wind Army will definitely treat you with respect and give you sufficient benefits. In a few years, it's not impossible for you to become the leader of a hall in my Crimson Wind Army."

"What if I don't want to?" Qin Wu asked directly.

Chen Nian sneered and said, "Kid, you'd better understand the current situation. Before, the Iron Heart Gang was there, so my Crimson Wind Army couldn't do anything to you. But now the Iron Heart Gang has left. Under these circumstances, if you don't know what's good for you, I don't think you have any reason to live. The secret of this Spirit Pool must not be taken away by you."

As they spoke, the rest of the Crimson Wind Army slowly surrounded Qin Wu, who lowered his head and suddenly laughed, "Just as I expected."

Qin Wu spoke calmly.

Upon hearing Qin Wu's voice, Chen Nian frowned. However, even so, his eyes still held a hint of disdain.

Although he didn't know the source of Qin Wu's current confidence, Qin Wu was surrounded and had no chance of survival. Under such circumstances, he naturally had no need to be afraid.

Moreover, the Iron Heart Gang had already left, so he still trusted their words to some extent. Perhaps the treasure really had been taken by this young man before him; if so, he couldn't let him leave. If he could obtain the treasure from him, it would undoubtedly be a huge boost to his power.

He had never considered the possibility that Qin Wu might pose a threat to them.

A mere youth who appeared to be only in his early twenties was utterly insignificant against the Crimson Wind Army, even if he possessed considerable strength, having reached the late stage of the initial True Qi realm. This was not only a difference in cultivation level but also a difference in numbers.

"Alright, since you're courting death, there's no need for further words. Kill him," Chen Ning said directly.

At his command, the surrounding Crimson Wind Army members charged towards Qin Wu. These Crimson Wind Army members truly lived up to their reputation as a powerful force wreaking havoc in the area; their actions were as disciplined and uniform as an army, and each member was fearless and undaunted.

Even those less powerful showed no fear when facing Qin Wu, charging straight forward. This demonstrates the formidable strength of the Crimson Wind Army.

Chen Ning's lips curled into a faint smile, showing no intention of making a move. With his subordinates present, there was no need for him to take action personally.

This is also a good opportunity for the Crimson Wind Army to train. When the Gale Hall returns to the Crimson Wind Army headquarters, it will be able to compete with other halls.

However, his expression changed the moment the two made contact.

Almost instantly, Qin Wu unleashed tremendous power. The Gale Hall disciples charging at the front were utterly powerless against him. With each strike of Qin Wu's Tiger King Blade, they were killed, blood spurting everywhere.

Within moments, several people had been cut down. Seeing this, the remaining Gale Hall warriors' expressions changed drastically, especially the experts, whose faces were filled with rage. Several warriors at the True Qi Realm suddenly charged towards Qin Wu.

Their coordination was seamless, clearly the result of years of training in battle formations. However, in the face of overwhelming power, such coordination was utterly meaningless.

A martial artist at the mid-stage of True Qi Refining rushed to the front, drawing his longsword to withstand Qin Wu's attack. If he could withstand even one of Qin Wu's attacks, the others could then surround and kill Qin Wu, ensuring his certain death.

Almost all the warriors of the Gale Hall thought Qin Wu was doomed, but in the next instant, the moment the two sides made contact, the warrior who was in the middle stage of the Righteous Qi realm was sent flying backward, and the knife in his hand was directly cleaved in two by Qin Wu.

Moreover, Qin Wu didn't hesitate at all. Instead of giving chase, he directly swung his blade at another True Qi cultivator, cutting him in half with a single strike. The remaining men's faces immediately turned to terror.

The combat prowess Qin Wu displayed at this moment was absolutely beyond the capabilities of ordinary people. Although they were all brave warriors, none of them could remain unafraid in the face of meaningless death.

But their fear did not affect Qin Wu's killing spree. Almost instantly, Qin Wu had already rushed towards the others, and the knife in his hand had transformed into the scythe of death, frantically reaping lives.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen martial artists at the initial stage of True Qi cultivation were killed by Qin Wu. At this point, Chen Nian could no longer remain seated; his face turned extremely grim.

"Get out of my way, all of you. I'll kill him."

These were all his elite troops, and such a huge loss already pained him. If the fighting continued, even if he could kill Qin Wu, it would still be a devastating blow to his Gale Hall.

He could accept some losses for the Gale Hall, as it would help foster unity within the group. However, if the losses were too great, that would be a different story.

Upon hearing this, his warriors acted as if they had been granted a pardon, quickly retreating to make way for Chen Nian's attack.

Chen Nian charged towards Qin Wu like a bolt of lightning. He wielded a long spear, his aura fierce and imposing. He had once used this spear to wreak havoc, and countless masters had fallen beneath its blade.

"Boy, it's your good fortune to die by my hand."

Almost the instant he finished speaking, he appeared in front of Qin Wu and suddenly thrust his spear at Qin Wu.

Qin Wu reacted quickly, slashing his blade at the spear. The spear clashed with a loud bang, but this time, it wasn't Chen Nian who stumbled, but Qin Wu.

After all, there was still a gap in their cultivation levels. Qin Wu was only at the late stage of the initial stage of Righteous Qi. When facing Chen Nian, who had already reached the peak of the initial stage of True Qi and was even halfway to the True Self stage, he was still at a disadvantage in terms of strength.

After retreating more than ten steps, Qin Wu finally managed to regain his footing. Chen Nian, on the other hand, sneered. The other Crimson Wind Army warriors all wore fanatical expressions.

"The Hall Master is invincible!"

"Boy, prepare to die! Before our sect leader, you will ultimately become a corpse."

Everyone screamed.

After Qin Wu steadied himself, there was still no fear in his eyes: "Such powerful strength, no wonder you have already come into contact with the True Self Realm."

He exclaimed in admiration. This was his first time fighting against such a powerful opponent. Even the giant crocodile would likely have little power to resist such a formidable opponent. Fortunately, he had undergone a transformation, and conventional fighting methods would no longer be effective in defeating this person. Therefore, he had no choice but to unleash his ultimate move once again.

Sensing Qin Wu's calm gaze, Chen Nian instinctively sensed something was amiss. He dared not wait any longer and charged directly at Qin Wu, thrusting his spear at him with the intent to kill him instantly.

But in that instant, Qin Wu took a step forward, and with that step, his aura surged dramatically. With a loud boom, their weapons clashed once more, and Qin Wu was forced back again. However, unlike before, he didn't stumble back more than ten steps; he only retreated a few steps before regaining his footing.

Upon witnessing this, Chen Nian's expression changed drastically. His guess was correct; Qin Wu still possessed some powerful trump card. This kind of power increase was extremely dangerous, and he absolutely could not allow him to continue.

Thinking this, Chen Nian launched another attack, but Qin Wu had already taken his second step. With that second step, the two clashed once more, and this time, Qin Wu only flinched before regaining his footing. Chen Nian, seeing that his attack hadn't forced Qin Wu back, exclaimed, "Good lad!"

He was both shocked and furious, and he already realized that something was wrong.

Then Qin Wu took a third step. With that third step, Qin Wu's aura surged once more: "You've had enough, haven't you? In that case, it's my turn."

Qin Wu grinned, then slashed at Chen Nian with his sword. Chen Nian hastily drew his spear, and the two clashed again, but this time Chen Nian was the one who staggered backward. This sudden reversal of fortune caused the other Crimson Wind Army disciples' expressions to change drastically.

Qin Wu did not stop his pace. Although he had suppressed Chen Nian to a certain extent, that was all. Moreover, Chen Nian was not alone here. If Chen Nian sent others to surround and attack, he would still be doomed.

So even though continuing to operate would still put considerable pressure on him, he still had no intention of giving up.

As Qin Wu took his fourth step, his expression turned ferocious. Intense pain writhed around his body, but at the same time, his true energy became extremely powerful. Moreover, in the blink of an eye, he had already taken another step.

With the fifth step, his blood and qi surged violently, almost materializing, and rushed towards the crowd. At this moment, fear finally appeared on Chen Nian's face.

"How is such power possible?"

His face looked extremely pale.

At this moment, when he faced Qin Wu, it was as if he were facing a giant beast in an abyss, which made him feel naked fear.

"Let's surround and kill him!"

Chen Nian immediately roared angrily.

He now realized that if Qin Wu didn't die, they were doomed. The aftereffects of Qin Wu's current state would be severe. The two sides were now locked in a life-or-death struggle, so no matter what, he had to kill Qin Wu here; otherwise, Qin Wu would not let them go.

At this moment, he was already regretting his actions. Had he known this would happen, he would never have bothered Qin Wu. Although this was a tremendous opportunity, if he let Qin Wu leave, Qin Wu might not be willing to fight to the death for this pool of water.

But it's too late to regret it now.

The moment Qin Wu unleashed his terrifying methods, there was no room for reconciliation.

But Qin Wu's movements did not stop. With a loud bang, Qin Wu took his sixth step.

The moment Qin Wu took his sixth step, he stomped his foot on the ground and charged towards Chen Nian like a cannonball.

Almost instantly, it appeared in front of Chen Nian.

Chen Nian's pupils constricted slightly.

The next instant, Qin Wu slashed down at Chen Nian with his sword.

The moment the blade struck, Chen Nian, his face filled with horror, raised his spear to try and block it. But in an instant, the spear exploded with a loud bang, and the spear in his hand broke. He was also sent flying dozens of meters away.

"Now, do you still think you can kill me?"

Qin Wu spoke, his voice icy cold, like a demon from the abyss.
