Chapter 438: Chapter 430 Black Tiger Gang Leader’s Love History_1
“Old Bai, after more than a decade, how come you’ve become so timid?”
The Nine Insects Gang Leader said to Bai Xuezhu in a very familiar tone.
There was a hint of teasing in his words.
To the uninformed, they might like old friends who hadn’t seen each other for years.
“Hmph, if you dare not use your demon spider, see if I’m afraid to have a fight with you!”
Bai Xuezhu snorted.
Giggle, giggle, giggle!
The Nine Insects Gang Leader laughed with shaking shoulders, like a young girl.
“You, saying to a woman that she has guts, is that appropriate? Old Bai, where did that heartbreaker Xue Qiuhe of yours die off to? Is he hiding from me on purpose now that he knows I’m here?”
While conversing with Bai Xuezhu, the Nine Insects Gang Leader didn’t display any murderous intent or aggressiveness.
The entire time, he was coquettish, even with a tinge of flirtation and banter.
“Hei Ying, for your own selfish desires, you stir up conflict; how can you be at peace? I advise you, it’s not too late to call off your troops and pull back now.”
The Black Tiger Gang Leader galloped over, riding a huge tiger with fur as black as ink.
This giant tiger was at least six meters long and over two meters tall, resembling a moving giant panel.
The ferocity and murderous aura it exuded made Qin Niu feel as if his very soul was trembling.
This giant tiger was undoubtedly much stronger than him.
It could very well be a demon beast.
So, the Nine Insects Gang Leader’s name is Hei Ying, quite a pleasant-sounding name. It’s unclear why she received the unpleasant nickname “Black Widow.”
Both Bai Xuezhu and the Black Tiger Gang Leader had some decency not to call her “Black Widow.”
Only the deceased man surnamed Cao had cursed her as an “old witch.”
This also reflects a person’s upbringing.
“Back when you abandoned me, you had the same hypocritical look. Xue Qiuhe, even after all these years, you’re still as insincere as ever. Under your rule, millions of Black Tiger Gang’s citizens are suffering, and here I am trying to save them. If you truly care about the people, then hand the Black Tiger Gang over to me, and stop deceiving the public.”
To Qin Niu’s shock, the Nine Insects Gang Leader had a romantic history with the Black Tiger Gang Leader.
The romantic entanglements of the higher-ups seemed quite complicated.
“Sigh! I knew you wouldn’t listen to reason for the sake of your personal vendetta. The people’s eyes are clear; whether I am hypocritical or not is not for you to say, but for everyone to judge. On the other hand, I’ve heard many citizens cursing your rule over Nine Insect Gang as cruel and inhumane.”
The Black Tiger Gang Leader rode his Black Tiger to a stop in front of the Nine Insects Gang Leader, and neither was in haste to attack.
His gaze towards the Nine Insects Gang Leader was quite complex.
To say there was nothing between them, Qin Niu would never believe it.
“Stop beating around the bush, chattering here with me. In what way am I inferior to that woman? Why did you choose her over me?”
The Nine Insects Gang Leader demanded.
Even after so many years, her resentment ran deep.
“Love can’t be forced. We weren’t compatible, and I had the right to choose the woman I liked. So many years have passed; you should have let go by now. Back when you annexed the territory of the Seven-Star Sect, I let you have your way because of our past. Today, if you don’t retreat and continue this senseless conduct, then don’t blame me for destroying your Nine Insects Gang.”
The Black Tiger Gang Leader said in a very serious tone.
“Is it because I’m not as pretty as her, or is my cultivation weaker? Also, don’t talk to me with that victorious tone; I don’t like it. You don’t have that right. Whatever abilities you have, just bring them out. Today, either your Black Tiger Gang will be annihilated, or my Nine Insects Gang will be destroyed. I will make you realize that not choosing me was the biggest mistake of your life.”
As the Nine Insects Gang Leader spoke, she became increasingly emotional.
Being abandoned by the Black Tiger Gang Leader and him marrying another woman, had been a sharp sting to her.
“Hei Ying, it seems you won’t tear up until you see the coffin! Come on, let’s see how much you’ve grown over the years.”
With that, the Black Tiger Gang Leader drew his weapon, a long spear.
Spear-users were rare.
Especially among those in the Spirit Qi Realm, most preferred blades and swords. Fewer still used axes, maces, halberds, and the like.
Qin Niu stood at the back, slightly excited as he watched, for scenes of top-tier fighters clashing were extremely rare. As someone from the Innate Realm, he could learn many precious combat experiences from their battles.
“Woo—roar!”
The giant black tiger opened its bloody maw and roared furiously.
Among beasts of the same level, feline animals are almost invincible. Their high agility and powerful bursts of strength are not something that ordinary beasts can match.
As the king of all beasts, known as big cats, tigers need no further explanation.
The response to the giant black tiger was a large spray of webbing from the Tyrant Funnel-Web Spider.
The Funnel-web Spider’s webs are different from orb-weaving spiders; they are made of densely packed silk shaped like a funnel, often found in grass, or between rock crevices.
Orb-weavers, garden spiders, and ghost spiders typically spin their webs in trees, corners, or windowsills.
Their webs are not easily noticed, with few threads, somewhat like a Bagua formation. freewēbnoveℓ.com
The Funnel-web Spider’s web looks like a piece of gauze from a distance due to the dense silk.
Facing the onslaught of webbing, the black tiger conjured a demon wind out of thin air, blowing the silk back upon itself.
One could vaguely see a Demon Core spinning ceaselessly in the tiger’s mouth.
Well, indeed it was a demon beast.
The Black Tiger Gang Leader, mysterious and reserved, was not only personally formidable, but his mount was also powerful. The outcome of today’s battle was becoming difficult to predict.
“Old Bai, leave this side to me, you go take care of those fools from the Shennong Sect. Tell them that the Nine Insect Gang’s invasion of the Black Tiger Gang is for personal gain only and that they should stay out of this mess. Otherwise, it’ll be too late even for tears,” said the Black Tiger Gang Leader, keeping his calm in such a dangerous situation and always pressing his enemies from a moral high ground.
Qin Niu learned a lot from this.
Inside the central military tent, he could feel the Black Tiger Gang Leader’s deep concern. The enemy forces were ferocious, and with the two gangs forming an alliance, it would be hard for the Black Tiger Gang to withstand. The Gang Leader was not optimistic about the outcome of this war.
Now, facing the enemy head-on, the Gang Leader acted confidently, as if holding the initiative and giving the enemy a chance to reform—a true kingly demeanor.
Qin Niu thought that the Nine Insects Gang Leader wasn’t wrong in calling Xue Qiuhe a hypocrite.
“Be careful, Leader Xue. If you are outmatched, do not resist stubbornly!”
After saying this, Bai Xuezhu, with Qin Niu and Master He Shan and the others, started attacking in another direction.
There, the Shennong Sect’s top fighters were leading an assault, but it did not seem to be going well—their forces were scattered by the Black Tiger Gang’s Black Knight Legion, making it difficult to organize a proper battle formation for a charge.
The Shennong Sect was not known for combat, and their previous strategy of neutrality, focusing solely on developing commerce and the economy, was undoubtedly wise.
To now attack the Black Tiger Gang alongside the Nine Insect Gang was definitely a blunder.
It was unclear what the Shennong Sect’s leader was thinking.
“Qin Niu, He Shan, the two of you lead the Insect Master Camp to fend off the Nine Insect Gang’s insect masters. Leave the Shennong Sect’s mess to me and the deputy leaders,” said Bai Xuezhu, already spurring her mount towards the Shennong Sect’s experts.
Upon reaching the Spirit Qi Realm, it’s difficult for ordinary soldiers to harm them.
The higher-ups were all well aware of this, and so the Spirit Qi Realm experts from all three sides had consciously begun their ultimate showdown.
“Master Qin, do you see that man riding the white horse?”
Master He Shan pointed towards the front right.
“Who is that man? The woman next to him looks quite beautiful. They are fighting side by side; they really look like a couple,” said Qin Niu.
It was a rule not to bring wives or concubines to the battlefield—for no man would wish to put his wife or concubine in the dangerous position of clashing with enemy forces.
Moreover, most women possessed weak cultivation and lacked strong combat abilities.
Bringing them to that battlefield would not only offer little help, but they could also become a burden.
“The man riding the white horse is the Shennong Sect leader, Pan Jianjun, and the young and beautiful woman fighting alongside him is the Nine Insects Gang Leader’s younger sister. I heard she’s not his blood sister but a sworn one. She’s now married to Pan Jianjun,” explained Master He Shan. Upon mentioning the young beauty, he winked and gave a knowing look.
