Chapter 435: Chapter 427: Gu Master Appears_1

After making a show of strength, Qin Niu did not bother further with Iron Tiger.

He understood the thoughts of a man.

Iron Tiger merely felt that Ye Ji had been bullied and wanted to stand up for her. Moreover, he had preemptively judged that an Insect Master of the Innate Realm was inherently weak in combat, hence his direct action.

After his defeat, head bowed, he led the way in silence.

“Being defeated by Master Qin is no disgrace!”

Ye Ji whispered comfort to Iron Tiger.

“I’m sorry! I intended to help you vent, but ended up bringing shame to our Gang Leader’s personal guards instead,” Iron Tiger said, still keeping his head down, not daring to look at her.

“Master Qin is very strong; your defeat is not unjust. Where is the central military tent? Let’s walk faster.”

Ye Ji had witnessed Qin Niu dealing with the Mirage Insect.

That was a demon insect which had been lurking in the Valley of Wronged Spirits for at least a few hundred years, and it was completely subdued by Qin Niu without showing the slightest resistance. This man, just like the Gang Leader, was both mysterious and powerful.

Many soldiers looked at Qin Niu with eyes full of reverence.

Qin Niu’s defeat of Iron Tiger, one of the Gang Leader’s personal guards, with a single strike had already earned their respect with his strength.

In the army, it is like this, the strong are revered, and strength speaks for itself.

The three of them walked on, swiftly reaching an unremarkable military tent.

In a battle between two armies, the central military tent and the commander’s platform are of utmost importance; it’s impossible to let the enemy know where the commander is.

Otherwise, if the enemy forms an elite unit to target the central military tent, it would be quite easy for the enemy to behead the commander.

Or capture the commander.

Either scenario would signify defeat.

“Reporting to the Gang Leader, Master Qin has been brought here.”

“Please invite Master Qin in!”

A calm and steady middle-aged man’s voice sounded.

His speech was slow, naturally exuding an invisible authority.

Outside the tent, there were many guards, each with strong cultivation, all of them Innate Realm powerhouses.

They had one thing in common, masks on their faces.

Wolf masks, eagle masks, bear masks, a wide variety, like a wild animal park. The identities of these people didn’t need to be stated; they were all personal guards of the Gang Leader.

Qin Niu entered the central military tent and saw many familiar faces, including Vice Gang Leader Bai Xuezhu, Fang Lian, City Commandant Lu, and Vice Gang Leader Gongsun Jin. This battle was a matter of life and death for the Black Tiger Gang, and almost all the high-ranking members had come out in force.

Sitting at the top seat of the military tent, however, was a plainly-looking middle-aged man, wearing black chainmail, draped in a great cloak made of Tiger Skin, and wearing a black metal helmet.

Different from the helmet of the Black Knight, this man’s helmet had a red gem set in the center, and there were three long feathers at the top.

Each feather resembled the long tail feathers of a wild rooster.

Yet, Qin Niu could tell at a glance that those three long feathers were all demonic feathers. The so-called Phoenix Feathers he had seen at the black market were far inferior to these three long feathers.

Merely by looking at this man’s appearance, there was already considerable grandeur.

“Master Qin has had a hard journey! Today, the Black Tiger Gang has faced an invasion by the combined forces of the Nine Insect Gang and Shennong; it is a matter of life and death. We must gather all the strength we can to have any hope of winning this war.”
