Chapter 79 The Imposter Leader
Chapter 79 The Imposter Leader
Seeing this, the one-eyed man narrowed his eyes and decisively drew the long knife from his waist.
He didn't shout or yell, but just quietly looked at Zhou Yi, whose eyes were as calm and still as an ancient well.
Something's not right...
The one-eyed man felt a chill run down his spine, becoming more wary, and decided to test the waters first.
However, just as he drew his sword, the flying sword of the person in front of him whistled out and went straight for his brow.
"not good!"
The one-eyed man was terrified and hurriedly summoned his life-saving magic weapon, the Spirit Turtle Shield.
This spirit turtle shield is a first-grade high-quality defensive magic weapon.
Being a bandit is extremely dangerous, and it was precisely because of this magical artifact that the one-eyed man was able to survive his past life on the run.
Whenever he unleashes this magical artifact, even Qi Refining cultivators with higher cultivation levels than him will find it difficult to break through its defenses in a short period of time.
However, at that very moment, as ten flying swords shot out simultaneously, in just a short breath, the originally incredibly hard spirit tortoise shield was reduced to countless tiny fragments.
It's broken.
The one-eyed man stared in astonishment as ten flying swords circled around him.
He would likely be hacked to pieces by those ten terrifying flying swords in the blink of an eye, given the opponent's command.
"Hero, please don't kill me, I surrender."
The one-eyed man immediately knelt on the ground, raised his hands, and looked at the man with a pleading expression.
He could still distinguish between life and dignity.
Zhou Yi retrieved his flying sword, removed the silent talisman that had been hovering in mid-air, and spoke in a cold voice:
"Get up, you're still useful."
His face was cold, his eyes were sharp, and even his tone was devoid of warmth.
But it was these cold words that made the one-eyed man feel that he had finally escaped danger.
As long as he is useful, he will definitely survive.
Thinking of this, the one-eyed man quickly stood up and gave Zhou Yi a fawning smile.
"My lord, please take a seat. We can discuss the matter at length later."
Zhou Yi shook his head, having no interest in drinking and rambling on with him at the stone table.
His time is now extremely precious.
For Zhou Yi, each time he leaves his sect, the risks he faces increase, and the longer he stays outside, the more variables he faces rise.
and so……
Unless faced with a situation that he had to deal with and that would bring him enormous benefits, he would never step out of the sect.
"Get to the point. I need you to introduce us to the big boss."
The one-eyed man was startled. He had originally thought that Zhou Yi and his group were after the Black Tiger Gang's property, but he never expected that they were after his boss.
However, that leader's strength is truly terrifying!
Thinking of this, the one-eyed man spoke up to persuade him, "Sir, our leader's cultivation has already reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, and his strength is unfathomable. Are you sure you want to..."
The one-eyed man's words piqued the sword immortal's curiosity.
He couldn't understand it.
If this leader is really that strong, why didn't the one-eyed man try to lure Zhou Yi and the others in and then take the opportunity to kill them?
Thinking of this.
The sword immortal couldn't help but ask, "If your leader is truly powerful, why don't you find an opportunity to coordinate with him from within and wipe us all out?"
Upon hearing this, the one-eyed man, who had just felt a little relieved, instantly felt like he was being pricked by thorns.
Good guy!
Just a few days ago we were drinking and chatting happily, but I never expected that you would put me in danger now.
However, thinking that his life was more important, the one-eyed man immediately offered his defense:
"That boss is very powerful, but for us, we're just front men working for his benefit."
"Moreover, he is narrow-minded and intolerant, so..."
With things said to this point, the Sword Immortal and his companions understood immediately.
Even if the one-eyed man finds an opportunity to betray Zhou Yi and the others, the leader might still harbor resentment because of what he did before and settle scores with him afterward.
"Alas, the human heart is unpredictable."
The sword immortal sighed softly and said nothing more.
The group changed into bandit attire and followed the one-eyed man, slowly making their way towards the center of the stronghold.
Before long, the brightly lit house reappeared in front of them.
At Zhou Yi's signal, the one-eyed man stepped inside.
Amidst the noisy discussions inside, a burst of irritated rebukes soon followed.
"Useless! It's so late, and you can't even handle this little thing. Let them in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the one-eyed man walked out of the house. Zhou Yi glanced at him and saw that his expression was somewhat gloomy.
"Come in quickly! If you dare to disturb the boss's peace and quiet without something important to say, you lot are dead."
The one-eyed man snorted coldly and led the two men in with a ruthless expression.
Just as Zhou Yi and his companions stepped into the hall, several scantily clad and alluring songstresses slowly emerged.
Da Baojian glanced at the beautiful songstresses, his Adam's apple bobbing as he involuntarily swallowed.
The sword immortal smiled when he saw his appearance.
He was about to retort, but considering the current situation, he quietly swallowed back what he hadn't said.
"I'll definitely go and brag about it on the forum when I log off tomorrow."
Thinking of this, the sword immortal secretly withdrew his thoughts and began to stare intently at the brightly lit hall.
Countless barrels and glasses of wine were scattered on the ground, and the luxurious decorations throughout the room exuded extravagance.
A huge stage sits in the center, with a long bench covered with a tiger skin placed in the main position.
The man wearing a tiger skin was leaning against it, his clothes were a little disheveled, revealing his muscular chest, as if something had just happened.
The man in the tiger-skin coat glanced at Zhou Yi and his companions out of the corner of his eye, a hint of annoyance in his eyes.
He naturally didn't give these small fry who had rashly ruined his plans the slightest bit of a friendly look.
"So you're the ones who said you have something important to report?"
The man in the tiger-skin suddenly spoke, his tone carrying an air of authority.
The invisible pressure emanating from the man next to Zhou Yi made it difficult for him to even breathe.
Zhou Yi didn't rush to speak; instead, his greatsword was thrust forward first.
"That's right, we have important business to attend to on this trip."
The big sword's voice was powerful and clear, showing no fear of the tiger-skin man's show of force.
In his eyes, this was nothing more than a dying man.
But to die by one's own sect leader's sword is an honor, isn't it?
As soon as Da Baojian finished speaking, the man in the tiger skin snorted coldly.
The last person who dared to speak to him like that, not only did his grave become overgrown with weeds, but his ashes were also gone.
The leader's authority is not to be violated.
Thinking this, the man in the tiger skin planned to feed the man to his captive tigers after he finished asking about the matter.
After all, according to the one-eyed man, there seemed to be a lot of profit to be made in this matter.
"Please tell me what it is."
The man in the tiger-skin coat said calmly.
But the next moment, an unexpected voice suddenly rang out.
Da Baojian's face turned icy cold, and he roared angrily, "What is it? Haha, we're here today to take your dog's life!"
next moment.
He suddenly drew his longsword and retreated behind Zhou Yi.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Yi couldn't help but rub his forehead in dismay, realizing how much trouble this little player of his was causing.
"court death!"
As expected,
Enraged by these words, the man in the tiger skin became like a ferocious tiger, extending his sharp claws and aiming straight for Zhou Yi's heart.
The man in the tiger skin had practiced the "Black Tiger Claws Out the Heart" move for a long time and had a deep understanding of it. Countless cultivators had died from this move.
Zhou Yi's figure drew closer and closer, and the tiger's claws shot straight for his heart.
Just when he thought he was about to succeed, ten flying swords suddenly appeared behind Zhou Yi.
With his command, he pierced through the tiger-skinned man's body in no time.
"Oh no, how is this possible!"
The man in the tiger-skin coat yelled, his eyes wide with rage, unable to close even in death.
He couldn't understand how this man, whose aura was so restrained and who seemed to have no cultivation, could be so terrifying when he made a move.
Moreover, Liuye Town has never had such a powerful cultivator before.
Zhou Yi sheathed his flying sword, looked at the corpse lying on the ground, and remained calm.
He reached out and examined the corpse, then used his Bone-Melting Disguise Technique on the great sword.
The sky was gradually brightening, and the morning sun was rising in the east.
Da Baojian changed into a tiger skin and carefully looked at himself in the bronze mirror in front of him.
The face reflected in the mirror was exactly the same as that of the man in the tiger skin.
He opened the player panel, and a new quest popped up.
[Mission: Disguise as the Leader]
[Mission Requirements: Impersonate the leader of the Black Tiger Gang, and secretly work with the second-in-command, Xia Yuanba, to convert them into your own forces, firmly control them, and bring them under your command.]
[Task Rewards: Cultivation breakthrough to Qi Refining Level 4, 100 Sect Contribution Points]
"Qi Refining Level 4..."
Da Baojian gently stroked his face, his gaze pausing slightly as he fell into deep thought.
