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

Chapter 139 Iron Heart Gang, Red Wind Army

A group of people were heading towards the spirit pool from afar.

Qin Wu immediately noticed the group of people who had left earlier.

Just as Qin Wu had anticipated, the departure of these people would inevitably bring some trouble, but given the current gains, these minor troubles were entirely acceptable to Qin Wu.

Those people naturally noticed Qin Wu's presence, especially those who had fled earlier; they hadn't expected anyone to occupy this place. When they looked into the pool, their expressions changed drastically.

"My lord, the treasure has been taken by that person."

When the hall master spoke, his face was extremely ugly, even showing a hint of fear.

Under these circumstances, he was unsure what the Blue-Faced Ghost would do, since he had used the treasures within to lure the Blue-Faced Ghost over, but now those treasures had suddenly disappeared.

If the Green-Faced Ghost thinks he's deceiving the Iron Heart Gang, the consequences will be far beyond what he can bear.

Upon hearing his words, the green-faced ghost gave him a gloomy look, but then remained silent.

He was well aware of the situation; the place was littered with corpses, including human bodies and the carcasses of enormous crocodiles.

Something guarded by so many crocodiles must be an extraordinary treasure, which proves that what the man said earlier was not wrong.

His gaze immediately turned to Qin Wu, and then he spoke calmly:

"Hand over what you obtained from here, and I might spare your life; otherwise, you'll die here."

Not much time had passed, so in his opinion, Qin Wu was very likely still holding the treasure. If that was the case, as long as he killed Qin Wu, he could naturally take back the treasure.

Even if they can't take it back, it doesn't matter. With his current strength, he can clearly see that even this spirit pool is extraordinary. If they can cultivate here, it will definitely bring a breakthrough to their strength.

Many members of the Iron Heart Gang also came this time. Cultivating here for a while would be quite beneficial for them, especially for himself. He had already reached the peak of the True Qi Transformation Realm and was only half a step away from breaking through to the True Self Realm.

Under normal circumstances, breaking through this half-step barrier is definitely not an easy task. However, if he can cultivate in this pool, he is confident that he can break through in at most half a month.

Therefore, even without any treasures, he is determined to obtain this place.

As for Qin Wu, regardless of whether he took the treasure from the pool, since he appeared here, he should bear the wrath of the Iron Heart Gang. No one can take the treasure from the Iron Heart Gang.

As for whether it was an accidental killing, he didn't care at all.

Qin Wu watched them stand up from the pool and walk step by step to the shore, without the slightest fear in his eyes.

Qin Wu's strength has improved further. He has already reached the late stage of the initial stage of True Qi, and he is not even a beginner. He is even trending towards the peak of the initial stage of True Qi.

If things continue like this, it won't be long before he breaks through again and becomes a true peak cultivator of the Heart-Nourishing Meridian Opening stage. Now that his strength has surged, he wants to test just how powerful he has become.

These people in front of him are excellent opponents, allowing him to see just how strong he really is.

Moreover, he could sense that most of these people were only at the second level of strength, and the only one who posed a threat to him was the person in front of him.

This person had a ferocious face, was bluish in color, and looked like a demon. His true energy was far superior to his, at least reaching the peak of the initial stage of true energy, and it was definitely not just a simple peak of the initial stage of true energy.

For Qin Wu now, ordinary peak True Qi Realm beginners would pose no threat whatsoever. Reaching this level is enough to prove that this person may have already touched upon the True Self Realm. It's just unknown how far he is from that threshold.

Then Qin Wu spoke:

"I did take the item, but I've already eaten it. It's probably impossible for me to take the lotus now."

"You bastard!"

The blue-faced demon's expression was extremely ugly. Qin Wu's words were a blatant provocation, and he couldn't accept it. Filled with anger, he sneered and said:

"It's been a long time since I've seen such an arrogant fool in front of me, the Blue-Faced Demon."

The hall master quickly spoke up:

"You have no idea how powerful the Iron Heart Gang is, and Lord Green-Faced Ghost has already reached the True Qi True Self Realm. How dare you, a mere thief at the initial stage of True Qi, be so presumptuous in front of the Iron Heart Gang?"

At this moment, he was doing everything he could to please the Green-Faced Ghost, hoping to gain his forgiveness, since he didn't know what the Green-Faced Ghost's mindset was at that moment.

At this moment, he was doing everything he could to please the Green-Faced Ghost, hoping to gain his forgiveness, since he didn't know what the Green-Faced Ghost's mindset was at that moment.

However, Qin Wu merely glanced at him indifferently; in his eyes, this man had already become a corpse. Although his original cultivation level was quite good, now that he was missing an arm, eighty percent of his combat power had been lost. Under such circumstances, Sword Qi Valley was definitely not a place he could survive in.

Most importantly, Qin Wu was by no means a tolerant person. Since the other party dared to say such a thing, he naturally had to be prepared for death.

Then Qin Wu drew the Tiger King Blade from his waist, and his aura slowly began to rise, reaching the late stage of the initial stage of True Qi in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, it wasn't just a simple late stage of the initial stage of True Qi; this domineering power even surprised the Green-Faced Ghost.

"Good lad, you actually possess such pure true energy. No wonder you have the audacity to speak up."

The blue-faced ghost watched Qin Wu with great interest. In his eyes, Qin Wu was indeed a remarkable genius. After all, he could tell at a glance that Qin Wu was very young. To possess such strength at such a young age was something he had never seen before, even after years of wandering the martial world.

Therefore, a hint of apprehension appeared in his eyes, because he was unsure whether such a talented martial artist had a powerful sect behind him.

However, he quickly put aside all such concerns. For him now, the most important thing was to break through.

Once he enters the True Self Realm, his strength will be comparable to that of the leader of their Iron Heart Gang, and at that time, his status will be greatly enhanced.

Moreover, although this person in front of us is quite talented, he is only one person. As long as we kill him, and then kill the people who informed him, the rest of them are all his confidants. Naturally, there is no need to worry about the information being leaked. At that time, no one will know that we killed him.

"Since you don't know what's good for you, then don't blame me."

After he finished speaking, he prepared to order his men to kill Qin Wu. But at that moment, a burst of loud laughter suddenly rang out from behind, and along with the laughter, a well-disciplined army came rushing in from behind.

Upon seeing these people, the green-faced ghost's expression changed slightly: "Old ghost, how did you get here?"

At this moment, the blue-faced ghost's expression turned somewhat ugly; this man was a member of the Crimson Wind Army.

The Crimson Wind Army is formidable and operates according to military principles, making it a force to be reckoned with.

The old ghost's strength was comparable to his, and it could be said that the arrival of the Crimson Wind Army at this moment immediately brought some changes to the situation.

Chen Nian looked at the spirit pool before him, his eyes filled with a sense of awe.

"This is truly a great opportunity. If I can cultivate here, I believe it won't be long before I break through to the True Self Realm."

Then, he looked at the blue-faced ghost, chuckled, and said:

"I didn't expect to run into you here. It seems you've had a good opportunity. It's just a pity that the treasures here have already been taken away."

"It doesn't matter. Even without treasures, this spirit pool is excellent. Blue-faced demon, I'll give you a chance. How about leaving now? If you leave now, I won't bother you."

"fart!"

The green-faced ghost roared angrily. The Iron Heart Gang and the Crimson Wind Army had always been at odds. Now that they had run into each other under such circumstances, if he left first, what would the entire Iron Heart Gang think of him? How could he hold his head high in the Iron Heart Gang?

Moreover, he and Chen Nian also have considerable conflicts.

"Old ghost, I advise you to leave now. If you don't leave, don't blame me for taking action."

Chen Nian merely chuckled, then coldly said:

"Who do you think you are, trying to make me leave? My Crimson Wind Army has been roaming the world for many years, and no force has ever dared to oppose us."

I advise you to be sensible. There are many things going on in Sword Qi Valley right now, and our Crimson Wind Army doesn't want to cause trouble. Otherwise, don't blame us for wiping out your Iron Heart Gang.

"Quite the boast."

The blue-faced demon had a cold and stern expression, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

However, he quickly calmed down. At this moment, going against the Red Wind Army was not a wise thing to do, but it was impossible for him to retreat.

Then he looked at Qin Wu and said:

"Old ghost, don't forget, there are probably outsiders involved if we want to gain ownership of this spirit pool. If we don't deal with them, taking it away won't be so easy."

Following the Green-Faced Ghost's gaze, the Old Ghost also saw Qin Wu, but he didn't seem to care much. Qin Wu's strength was indeed impressive, and he could sense the aura emanating from him, but in his eyes, such strength was nothing special. Moreover, Qin Wu was alone; how could he possibly pose a threat to them?

The biggest threat right now is the Iron Heart Gang. If the Iron Heart Gang isn't eliminated, it will be impossible for them to monopolize this place. Therefore, he will absolutely not allow the Iron Heart Gang members to stay here.

Witnessing all of this unfold, Qin Wu's expression was filled with emotion; he hadn't expected things to develop to this point.

He had originally thought he would have to fight the Iron Heart Gang, but now it seemed that this new group of people had no intention of fighting him at all, and instead focused all their attention on the Iron Heart Gang.

Then, Chen Nian of the Crimson Wind Army said to Qin Wu, "Boy, hand over the treasures you have, and I'll kill these people for you, how about it?"

In Chen Nian's eyes, Qin Wu must be under threat from the Green-Faced Ghost at this moment. Although he wasn't sure if Qin Wu possessed any treasures, that didn't stop him from saying such things. If Qin Wu had treasures, that would be excellent; even if he didn't, it wouldn't matter.

This person is at least a late stage of the initial stage of True Qi, and his combat strength appears to be quite impressive.

Although he looked down on the Iron Heart Gang, he knew that the Iron Heart Gang did have some strength. If they were to confront them head-on, it would indeed cause considerable damage to their Crimson Dragon Army. However, if they could have someone like this to help them, they could gain some opportunities. Moreover, he had more in mind than that.

He also hoped to recruit Qin Wu into their Crimson Dragon Army. If such a talented young man were brought into the Crimson Dragon Army, it would provide a good guarantee for the future of their army.

Of course, whether or not this person should join the Crimson Dragon Army depends on whether he knows what's good for him. If he does, then of course he can. But if he doesn't, then we'll just have to leave him here.

Upon hearing his words, Qin Wu smiled and then spoke.

"How could I, alone, have killed so many strange beasts? I only came here after the battle ended and discovered this spirit pool, so I wanted to cultivate here for a while. But I didn't expect these people to suddenly appear, which is why this situation has arisen."

If you could help me deal with these Iron-Hearted Gang members, I would be eternally grateful.

He heard Qin Wu's words.

Chen Nian laughed heartily. He had no doubt about Qin Wu's words, because he thought the same was true. How could a kid possibly deal with so many giant crocodile beasts, especially since there were quite a few corpses here?

These corpses didn't seem to have anything to do with Qin Wu, so the only one who could be related was the man with the missing arm who was following behind the Iron Heart Gang.

He didn't need to think twice to guess that this person must be from the Iron Heart Gang. Therefore, it was very clear that the Iron Heart Gang had seized the treasure.

However, that person wanted the Green-Faced Ghost to break through his cultivation, so he brought this group of people over, and that's how they ran into that kid.

So that kid was undoubtedly just a very unlucky brat.

Chen Nian laughed heartily.

"The Iron Heart Gang has always been unreasonable, but our Red Wind Army is not like that. If you are willing to join our Red Wind Army, I can guarantee you the corresponding benefits."

As for those Iron Heart Gang members, you can rest assured, with me here, they would absolutely not dare to touch you.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wu's lips curled into a smile.

He simply spoke.

"I'm so sorry, senior, but I don't have any plans to join any gang at the moment. If I do have such a thought in the future, I will definitely consider joining the Crimson Wind Army."

After saying that, Qin Wu took a few steps back, indicating that he had nothing to do with the matter.

Meanwhile, the Iron Heart Gang and the Red Wind Army were on the verge of war.

It seemed like they were about to take action.
