I Can Strengthen Infinitely-Chapter 48 - 47: Infiltrating the Fierce Tiger Gang
Under the urgent urging of Qin Yuesheng, the blacksmith shop under the Qin family forged the arm guard he needed by the second day.
Due to the rush, it was too late for processing, so the appearance of the entire arm guard looked very rough,
but Qin Yuesheng didn’t care. Anyway, after dealing with the Fierce Tiger Gang and the Flood Dragon Gang, he could send it back to have the blacksmith redo it.
The arm guard looked square and uneven with many irregular edges and corners on the surface, but inside it fit the size of Qin Yuesheng’s palm perfectly, and each finger joint moved very flexibly, not affecting action at all. Qin Yuesheng was very satisfied with this new equipment.
The Celestial Demon Blade, once it injures someone, turns into a Celestial Demon itself. If it leads to large-scale battles with heavy casualties, unnecessary chaos will inevitably ensue.
In Hulao Stronghold, all are mountain bandits, and their deaths would be deserved, so Qin Yuesheng wouldn’t care.
But since the headquarters of the Fierce Tiger Gang and the Flood Dragon Gang are in Cyan Yang City, if things blow up because of the Celestial Demon, Qin Yuesheng might encounter some trouble.
After all, the member of the Seven Star Monitor specifically in charge of investigating sinister and unusual events, Bai Hao, is still in Cyan Yang City, so he must be cautious.
"Young Master, here are the medicinal herbs you asked for." Cao Zhengchun put a full basin of medicinal herbs on the table.
While other young masters eat melons and sweet treats, the young master of the Qin family is special, with all kinds of medicinal herbs on his table every day, which is quite famous among the servants in the Qin Mansion.
Looking at the medicinal herbs on the table, Qin Yuesheng shook his head inexplicably.
Ever since tasting the benefits of the pills, these herbs, which could only increase his All-Purpose Essence bit by bit, were no longer satisfying.
Only those rare herbs, which are at least fifty years old, or even a hundred or several hundred, could make Qin Yuesheng’s eyes light up.
However, these aged herbs often had no market price, and the acquisitors either stored them for future needs or offered them to people with high status and power to exchange for something they need.
In this situation, even the wealthy Qin family might not be able to buy several pieces.
"The clothes I had you order yesterday, have they been finished at the tailor’s shop?" Qin Yuesheng asked.
"Young Master, before sunset, I will definitely bring them back to you," Cao Zhengchun replied resolutely.
"Hmm."
...
After nightfall.
Qin Mansion, West Chamber.
A wisp of candlelight flickered slightly within the lampstand, casting shaking shadows on the walls.
Qin Yuesheng put on the Rakshasa mask, then picked up the Ink Lin gold silk robe on the table and changed into it.
Putting on the arm guard, he gave it a squeeze.
Under the mask, Qin Yuesheng revealed a satisfied smile.
Everything is ready, time to move out.
Opening the window, Qin Yuesheng leaped out directly, as his agility reached 15.0, his personal speed had gone up a notch from before, and combined with his Horse Step Flying Hawk technique, he was truly elusive and unseen.
Fierce Tiger Gang, supported by the Gold and Silver Pavilion.
Flood Dragon Gang, established by the Twelve Linked Rings.
For the Qin family, both of these forces were not easy to offend, after all, the control of the Qin family was confined to just Cyan Yang City.
While the Gold and Silver Pavilion dominated across Jiangnan, the Gold and Silver Pavilion commanded in Yunzhou.
Compared to them, the Qin family really couldn’t stand a chance against them.
So Qin Yuesheng’s mission to reclaim the escort goods tonight must not expose his identity, or it would bring disaster to the Qin family.
Faced with the two gangs, Qin Yuesheng chose the Fierce Tiger Gang first, not for any other reason, just that their headquarters was the closest to the Qin Mansion, and in case he didn’t find the goods here, he could then divert to the Flood Dragon Gang’s headquarters.
The night was silent.
The night wind was intoxicating.
Qin Yuesheng swiftly traversed across the rooftop tiles, like a nimble wild goose leaping over large houses, resembling a phantom.
Not long after, a square plaza appeared in Qin Yuesheng’s view.
This plaza was entirely built with White Rock, and its edges were lined with fire basins, illuminating the area brightly.
Qin Yuesheng crouched quietly above the eaves, silently observing this region.
The plaza was the headquarters of the Fierce Tiger Gang. To enter, one must pass through three large doors, each shaped like a fierce tiger, with the tiger’s mouth as the door, very imposing.
"It’s said that behind the Fierce Tiger Gang, there is support from the Gold and Silver Pavilion, with many skilled experts. Even though my strength has increased greatly, I cannot take this lightly," Qin Yuesheng thought.
With the enhancement of the Vajra Iron Phase and the Profound Celestial Treasure Mirror, he could estimate that he had reached the Outer Forging Third Realm, with the last stage being the Tendon Tempering.
Once this stage is surpassed, it would be a true Outer Forging Perfection, body impervious to common weapons, as hard as brass and iron.
With just the intent to retrieve something, Qin Yuesheng didn’t directly barge in, but chose to infiltrate.
Although the Horse Step Flying Hawk is not good for stealth, under Qin Yuesheng’s high agility, he could barely land silently.
The entire inside of the Fierce Tiger Gang was unusually quiet, with only the patrolling footsteps of gang members carrying lanterns, while Qin Yuesheng, like a cat, lightly leapt along the eaves, soon penetrating deep into the headquarters of the Fierce Tiger Gang.
Finding a gap, Qin Yuesheng suddenly jumped off the rooftop, reaching out to grab a Fierce Tiger Gang member who was sneaking off to relieve himself in a corner before the man could even turn his head.
Qin Yuesheng instantly covered his mouth, softly warning, "Shut up, or I’ll snap your neck immediately."
Feeling the palm force on his neck, the man instantly chose to comply, nodding swiftly.
"I ask you, where does your Gang Leader live?"
Just as the man was about to speak, Qin Yuesheng applied more pressure with his hand: "No need to speak, just point it out."
Seeing the man slowly raise his hand to point in a direction, Qin Yuesheng whispered, "You’d better be telling the truth, or your life is at stake."
He knocked the man unconscious with a knife-hand strike, then lifted the man and ran towards that direction.
...
Tiger King Hall.
Wang Ba was sitting on the big throne, looking arrogant.
Below him, four subordinates were kneeling on the ground, trembling all over.
"I ask you, why did the deal with the spice merchant fail?" Wang Ba asked.
"Gang Leader, purely, purely because someone is secretly sabotaging us..." a subordinate replied.
Wang Ba flicked his hand, instantly shooting out an iron bead that hit the person’s forehead with such speed that it left a visible blood hole.
The person didn’t even have time to scream before collapsing softly to the ground.
"At this point, you still dare to lie to me? Do you really think I don’t know about your collusion with Huang’s Rouge Shop?"
Seeing their companion killed, the remaining few immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Gang Leader, spare us, Gang Leader! We were just momentarily bewildered, please consider our years in the Fierce Tiger Gang and spare our lives."
"So you all admit it." Wang Ba slowly stood up.
Next to the throne was a tall hammer as tall as a person, its head perfectly square, covered in nail-length sharp spikes on the surface.
Once this hammer strikes, it often results in skin splitting, brains splattering.
Seeing Wang Ba approaching with his weapon, the skull-crushing hammer, these people instantly felt a tightness in their hearts.
Wang Ba was inherently cruel, extremely violent.
He kills without leaving a whole corpse, smashing you to a pulp; dying at his hand is worse than suicide.
"This man will never let us go, we’ll fight him!" one person shouted, and immediately everyone leaped up, drawing daggers from their chests, and charged towards Wang Ba.
Wang Ba laughed heartily: "I feed loyal dogs meat, but for traitorous curs like you, I usually twist off your heads."
Three people attacked from three directions, each dagger like a bee sting, aiming precisely at Wang Ba’s vital points.
Wang Ba had been at Outer Forging Perfection for years; if not for the lack of an Inner Strength Heart Method, he wouldn’t be stuck in Cyan Yang City, unable to move up.
Seeing the three attacking, he first raised his arms and swung, turning the skull-crushing hammer into a windmill, sending gusts of wind that frightened the three into retreating, afraid of accidentally being hit.
Wang Ba’s natural strength was extraordinary, making him different from ordinary people. This skull-crushing hammer weighed four hundred pounds, capable of instantly smashing the surface of a table even if just placed on it. If someone collided with it, even an Outer Forging expert would likely suffer ruptured inner viscera.
"I achieved Outer Forging Perfection years ago, with no weak spots on my body, yet you few want to kill me?!" Wang Ba swung the hammer to the ground fiercely, causing the hammer force to explode outward indiscriminately.
Bam!
The three didn’t have time to dodge, struck by the hammer force directly, coughing up blood while soaring into the air like broken kites before finally landing on the ground.
Whish!
Wang Ba leaped high, hammering down on one of them.
That person, having suffered internal injuries, was completely unable to escape.
He could only watch as the skull-crushing hammer got increasingly closer, powerless.
...
When Qin Yuesheng followed the direction and moved forward, he ultimately saw the largest building within the Fierce Tiger Gang headquarters.
However, as he just approached, a loud bang echoed, and a wave of air spread out from inside the main hall.
"Uh!" Qin Yuesheng grunted before stepping back three paces, stabilizing himself.
"What’s going on, such astonishing force!" Qin Yuesheng was shocked. Though he hadn’t entered the main hall, he already sensed the danger within.
A master!
Qin Yuesheng dropped the subordinate he was carrying and promptly sprinted towards the main entrance.
Peeking in from the side of the door, he immediately saw a bloodied scene.
He saw a man wielding a long-handled hammer, continuously smashing inside the hall, making the bodies on the ground unrecognizable.
This person emitted an aggressive murderous aura, clearly no ordinary figure.
Outer Forging Great Perfection; ordinary weapons are hard to harm them, and their hand-to-hand combat skills can neutralize most attacks, showcasing the impressiveness of Outer Forging.
In the martial world, Outer Forging martial artists were quite common; joining the army made them formidable on the battlefield.
Don’t think Qin Yuesheng became an Outer Forging martial artist so easily, but reaching Outer Forging Great Perfection is very difficult for a martial artist.
Outer Forging trains hard skills, requiring years of persistence to accumulate to the Outer Forging Third Realm.
Thus, Outer Forging martial artists are typically older individuals.
It’s worth mentioning that even an Outer Forging Great Perfection martial artist must be cautious against Inner Power experts, as they’ve reached a new level of strength, mastering a power known as ’Inner Strength.’
This power is incredibly strong and cannot be underestimated.
