21 Chapter 18 Cunning Strategies Can Kill_1

“`

Ah Niu had learned about killing someone by borrowing a knife from books, but he had never used the tactic before.

He had always abided by the principle of not offending others unless he was offended first.

Xie Laizi lived in the last house at the entrance to the mountain in the village, right by the foot of the mountain. Having such a person as Wang Haikun’s informant was definitely not a good thing.

Qin Niu’s strength had grown powerful now; he could even take down Black Bear and would inevitably go hunting in the mountains in the future.

He was not afraid of Wang Haikun with his current strength, but the brother behind Wang Haikun was someone he was very wary of.

Although he did not know what position Wang Haikun’s brother held in the Black Tiger Gang, being able to join the gang meant that, given two or three years, one’s strength could completely transform. Whether it was cultivation techniques or martial arts, or even weapons and armor, there was an opportunity to obtain them.

And this was only one aspect.

What was truly terrifying was the Black Tiger Gang behind him.

It was not only the largest official power in the region but also a giant beast with experts as numerous as the clouds, far more terrifying than the Yan Family by a thousandfold, even ten thousandfold.

If Qin Niu provoked such an existence, the troubles would be endless.

If things went poorly, he could be wiped out without a trace.

His current strength was at best enough to kill Wang Haikun; he certainly had no ability to confront any member of the Black Tiger Gang.

Therefore, his strategy was to be as forbearing as possible and avoid direct conflict with Wang Haikun.

As long as he could gain three to five years’ time, he could quietly cultivate in the mountain village. By then, both his cultivation level and Termite would be strong enough that he could act without fear.

The smartest move right now was to use Wang Haikun to get rid of Xie Laizi.

Don’t be fooled by his age of sixteen; in terms of cunning strategies, Wang Haikun and Xie Laizi combined were no match for him.

“Not talking, huh?”

Wang Haikun usually acted without any regard for laws or morals in the village, and now Qin Niu dared to hem and haw in front of him, hiding something from him.

He could not tolerate this.

Ah Niu’s eyes glared fiercely, emitting a terrifying light.

Bang!

He punched a table directly.

In an instant, the poor little wooden table shattered into seven or eight pieces, completely falling apart.

To ordinary people, the power of this punch was frightening.

But in Qin Niu’s eyes, he had roughly gauged Wang Haikun’s level of cultivation.

At most, it was within 40/100 at the Mortal Realm Onefold.

Possibly, it was around 35 to 37.

It is said that Black Tiger Fist is the famous core technique of the Black Tiger Gang, and at a certain level, one can clench their fists into energy and shatter giant rocks as easily as tofu pudding, as if playing.

Wang Haikun’s Black Tiger Fist must have been taught to him by his brother.

Now that he displayed it, its power was only enough to intimidate ordinary people, which was simply a disgrace to the martial art.

Either Wang Haikun’s talent was poor, and he was lazy and hardly practiced, or his brother’s status in the Black Tiger Gang was not high, and he had only learned some basics.

“Aiyo, Lord Haikun, Lord Haikun, don’t get angry! I’ll talk, I’ll talk. I only heard about this from the village gossips, and it might not be accurate. I just overheard them saying… that Xie Laizi often visits your home when you’re not in!”

Qin Niu was ‘scared’ to death by that punch.

He hurriedly confessed the truth.

“What does that mean?”

Wang Haikun was one of those brute force without much strategy, the muscular and fierce type of person.

Though cunning and suspicious, his mind was far inferior to Qin Niu’s.

He obviously hadn’t caught on yet.

“I dare not say it, even if you beat me to death I wouldn’t dare speak!”

He shook his head like a rattle drum.

The more Qin Niu acted this way, the more Wang Haikun took the bait, believing without a doubt.

“Then I’ll beat you to death!”

Wang Haikun threw a fist towards Qin Niu.

Bang!

Qin Niu took the punch and felt as if his chest had been struck by a giant hammer. He was sent flying and fell to the ground.

“Hmph, didn’t expect you to be so tough, kid!”

Wang Haikun had only used fifty percent of his strength in that punch; he certainly didn’t want to actually kill someone and get into trouble.

The moment his fist hit Qin Niu’s chest, he could feel the tight and solid pectorals under his clothing.

He didn’t know that Qin Niu’s cultivation had already surpassed his.

It was the kind of top-notch physique that seems skinny when clothed but muscular once undressed.

If Qin Niu took off his clothes, his eight-pack abs would be very noticeable, and the two slabs of muscle on his chest would be particularly large.
