63: Red Tiger Fist is perfected, martial arts leap deduction
Zhang Lin walked out, his blade somewhat chipped.
There was nothing he could do; the fur of these Prodigy was too tough.
However, it was excellent Materials for making leather armor; the Fourth Hall would probably be able to add a few more sets of leather armor.
Although it was forbidden to make, wear, or privately store them in the open, the Red Tiger Gang was just an ordinary force, and there were people protecting them from above!
Qin Jiang looked over; Zhang Lin was stained with blood, and the gang members behind him were carrying the rat demon corpses out in pairs.
"You worked hard," he said.
"Boss, you're too kind. This is what your subordinate should do," Zhang Lin said.
Although he had also mastered Red Tiger Fist, he knew his place.
Qin Jiang smiled, "You watch here; I'll go in for a bit."
With that, he slightly raised his hand, and Meng An walked over.
"Lead the way."
"Alright, Boss, please follow me."
The two walked into the Li Family, and the somewhat familiar environment made Qin Jiang recall the first time he came here that night.
Who would have thought that in just over a month, the situation would be completely different?
Walking in the courtyard, there were bloodstains everywhere, and the Red Tiger Gang members were busy cleaning up the battlefield.
This was also their time to make a big fortune; one such instance was equivalent to a month of their hard work.
The two walked into the depths of the courtyard and arrived at the courtyard where Yellow Sky Divine Mother was worshipped that day.
"Boss, this is it. Inside, there's a statue of unknown origin being worshipped, and all the antiques, calligraphy, and paintings from the mansion are here," Meng An said.
This was something Qin Jiang had arranged last night, to thoroughly search the Li Family under the guise of searching for evidence.
Otherwise, why would it be so troublesome?
Since it was already planned, they could just throw a skinned wild goat at the entrance of the Li Family and claim it was a civilian brutally murdered by the Li Family.
It was just an excuse; what truly mattered was whose Fist was bigger!
"Wait for me here."
"Understood, I guarantee no one will disturb you!"
Walking into the courtyard, blood was splattered everywhere.
He pushed open the door to the central room, where various antiques and old items were piled up like a mountain, emitting a slightly musty smell.
Looking at the at least hundreds of antiques and old items in front of him, Qin Jiang couldn't help but feel a little excited.
These were not comparable to the items collected from the common folk; their quality was far superior!
Outside Black Mountain City, at the source of Stone Lion River.
Two figures, a man and a woman, stood on the bank, looking at the stone lion statue in the center of the lake.
"All the arrangements in the city have been made; now it's just up to you."
The female voice spoke. If Qin Jiang or Meng An were here, they would certainly recognize the owner of this voice: Aunt Lan, the madam of Facing Phoenix Tower.
"No need to rush; half a month at most will be enough. It's quite a coincidence, I didn't expect the people of Black Mountain City to be so unconcerned about these refugees, which made my plan progress very smoothly. Heh heh, this can be considered them reaping what they sow," the male voice said.
"You've delayed the Lord for a long time; this time, it's best not to have any more accidents!" Aunt Lan said.
"Hmph! That's natural. If it weren't for Old Freak Wang from Ningan City disrupting our Pavilion Master's plan this time, the strange fog would have already swallowed this place!"
In the Li Family, Qin Jiang put down the last bronze fragment.
He carefully observed the pattern, which was extremely similar to the Nightmare Beast-patterned bronze mask from before.
Putting away the fragment, he walked out of the courtyard, and Meng An immediately came closer.
"Find a time to convert the items inside into silver, take three-tenths of it and distribute it among the brothers, and the rest should still be used for collecting," Qin Jiang said.
"Understood, Boss!"
Meng An said excitedly. Even if he wasn't a professional, anyone would know that the items inside were valuable!
After all, these were treasures collected by the Li Family, one of the four great Families of Black Mountain City!
They were worth at least seven or eight thousand taels! They might even sell for a high price of ten thousand taels!
The only thing he regretted a little was that the Li Family was now defunct, so he couldn't sell them to the Li Family antique shop in the Inner City.
However, he could take this opportunity to extort them!
"Oh, and this, give it to a painter to copy, and give a copy to each of the brothers. If you encounter any artifacts with this pattern, whether they are antiques or old items, take them all."
Qin Jiang took out the bronze fragment he had just found and handed it to Meng An.
Meng An took the bronze fragment. He had never seen this pattern before, but he knew at a glance that it was a very ancient item.
"Understood, Boss, I'll get it done tonight."
"Alright, you guys handle the rest. If anything comes up, find me."
Returning to Anxin Villa, Qin Jiang walked to the pavilion and sat down, eagerly calling up his interface.

Looking at the bottom of the potential panel, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
He had never gained so many potential points, over a hundred, since his Rebirth!
Without any hesitation, he directly poured the potential points into Red Tiger Fist.
【Red Tiger Fist (Fourth Level) (120 / 1300), Experience + 1180】

Boom—!!
As Red Tiger Fist reached the Perfection Realm, Qin Jiang felt the Evil Qi within him surge uncontrollably.
In just half a breath, black Evil Qi had already covered the entire courtyard.
Roar—!!
A phantom tiger roar echoed in the air, and a translucent black giant tiger appeared behind Qin Jiang, roaring up at the sky.
Streaks of crimson light erupted from the giant tiger's brow, and the Evil Qi in the courtyard rapidly transformed from black to crimson.
In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, all the black Evil Qi had completely turned blood-red, and faintly visible dark red particles, like grains of sand, slowly flowed.
Similarly, the black giant tiger behind Qin Jiang also changed, its body gradually growing taller.
As it grew, streaks of blood-red cracks spread across its body, covering the giant tiger like a dense spiderweb.
A moment later, the giant tiger's body had exceeded five meters, and its entire body was completely covered with blood-red lines, like a statue Sealed in blood-red translucent glass.
Crack~~ Crack~
Cracks appeared on the surface of the blood-red statue, emitting a faint blood-red glow.
Bang!
With an explosion, the giant tiger's body seemed to break free from its shackles and was completely liberated! Its entirely blood-red fur unfurled in the wind!
Roar—!!!
A substantial roar sounded, vibrating the surrounding air and forming raindrop-like air particles.
Qin Jiang slowly stood up, the blood-red giant tiger prostrating behind him, its translucent body passing through the pavilion without causing any impact.
In a way, although this blood-red giant tiger formed by Evil Qi had certain materialized characteristics, it leaned more towards the spiritual level.
Or it could be said that this was the materialized manifestation of the Tiger Evil Fist Intent.
He clenched his Fist slightly, and surging power flowed within his body, much stronger than before!
Is this what a Grandmaster is? The Peak existence of the Divine Intent Realm.
A moment later, the blood-red giant tiger slowly dissipated, and his gaze fell on the potential panel.
