Little Tiger blocked in front of Lin Changqing and did not dodge.

Lin Changqing activated all his senses and focused. He held Little Bamboo in both hands and slashed at the dwarf’s terrifying thick-backed saber.

Bang!

Little Bamboo’s [Stick Strike] talent had the ability to hit the target. Lin Changqing’s staff was as exquisite as an antelope’s horn, accurately striking the thick-backed saber.

A huge force came, and Lin Changqing took the opportunity to retreat.

The dwarf’s thick saber missed, and Little Tiger nimbly retreated with Lin Changqing. The members of the White Tiger Hall had already reacted. A few sabers slashed at the dwarf from different angles. More members of the White Tiger Hall surrounded the dwarf and started fighting him.

The dwarf was agile and was not weak. He wielded a thick saber and fought alone in all directions without being at a disadvantage. A few of the weaker members of the White Tiger Hall were injured and quickly withdrew from the battle.

Lin Changqing didn’t dare to relax at all. He looked around and paid attention to the situation on the battlefield. More than ten members of the White Tiger Hall, who were not weak, surrounded the dwarf and seemed to be at a disadvantage.

Fortunately, Bao Zigang, the leader of the White Tiger Hall, was indeed powerful. With the help of his subordinates, he suppressed the five sabermen and fought them. It was only a matter of time before he killed the five of them.

At the periphery of the battlefield were the weaker members of the White Tiger Hall and the ordinary members of the Knife Gang. They had to prevent the criminals from escaping and also prevent the onlookers from approaching. The pressure was also not small.

Lin Changqing could clearly sense that many people with ill intentions had appeared in the crowd.

“Ah!”

With a blood-curdling scream, Bao Zigang raised his blade and killed one of them.

The gang was not the government. If you killed someone, he would kill you. There was no reason to speak of.

Capture, trial, beheading, these processes were all skipped. They were done in one step and beheaded. By doing so, they could greatly reduce the casualties of the gang. Capturing them was much more difficult and dangerous than killing them.

Bao Zigang killed one person, and it was as if he had pushed down dominoes. The remaining four quickly fell under his blade.

The dwarf was the strongest. When he saw that the situation was bad, he immediately used his ultimate move and injured a few members of the White Tiger Hall who were besieging him.

As the members of the White Tiger Hall were far weaker than the dwarf, they did not dare to advance rashly in case they lost their lives. The dozen or so people did not cause any damage to the dwarf.

The dwarf seized the opportunity and used his agility and extremely fast speed to escape from the encirclement that had been cut open.

“Stop him! He’s the main culprit!”

Bao Zigang just about to come over when he saw the fleeing dwarf. He shouted and chased after him.

When the members of the White Tiger Hall and the ordinary sect members on the periphery heard Bao Zigang’s voice, they could only brace themselves and stop him.

The dwarf dodged nimbly. With a few casual swings of his thick saber, he cut down a few ordinary members of the Knife Gang.

The crowd of onlookers took the initiative to make way for the dwarf.

Seeing that the main culprit of the murder case, the dwarf, was about to run away, Lin Changqing threw the [Bamboo Staff] in his hand at the dwarf who was about to rush into the crowd like a spear.

Smack!

The [Bamboo Staff] drew a beautiful arc in the air and accurately hit the dwarf’s back. The dwarf seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. He staggered and fell to the ground.

“Die!” Bao Zigang, who was following closely behind, moved as if he was flying. He arrived in a few steps and cut off the dwarf’s short legs with one slash.

“Ah!” The dwarf screamed and completely lost his mobility.

Just as everyone’s gazes were attracted by the dwarf, Lin Changqing suddenly felt his heart skip a beat.

“Woof!” Little Tiger suddenly pounced on him.

In Lin Changqing’s perception, a white light shot out from the surrounding crowd and headed straight for his throat. The white light was like lightning! The aura of death assaulted his face.

Lin Changqing only had time to tilt his head slightly before the white light flew over. A force hit his feet heavily, causing his center of gravity to shift. The white light streaked across his neck and shot onto the table not far away.

It was Little Tiger who bumped into him at the critical moment.

Although with his current life force and regeneration ability, he might not die if he was shot in the neck, this was too shocking. It was best not to show this ability.

Lin Changqing only felt a small cut on his neck, but he controlled his life force to not recover from his injuries. He quickly lowered his body and pulled out his short knife. Little Tiger’s strong body that had evolved into a giant dog blocked in front of him.

Lin Changqing glanced at the thing stuck on the table from the corner of his eye. It was a dart that flashed with a cold light.

“Attention, everyone! There’s an enemy attack!” The members of the White Tiger Hall near Lin Changqing shouted when they saw him being attacked.

The members of the White Tiger Hall, who had originally relaxed a little, immediately became nervous again. Bao Zigang kicked away the thick saber in the dwarf’s hand when his eyes swept around like lightning.

“All of you, back off!” Bao Zigang saw that there were more and more onlookers. There were both good and bad people mixed in, so he shouted.

The ordinary members of the Knife Gang all took action. They shouted and chased the onlookers back.

Ordinary gang members were not strong, but now they represented the Knife Gang. They were using the power of the tiger to intimidate others. Even if they were very strong, they would not dare to do anything to them.

“Lin Changqing, are you injured?” A member of the White Tiger Hall came over to help Lin Changqing up. Seeing the blood on his neck, he asked worriedly.

Lin Changqing was someone Cheng Lihu valued. If anything happened here, they would also be responsible. “It’s nothing. It’s just a superficial wound.”

Lin Changqing touched the blood on his neck. Sure enough, the wound was no longer bleeding.

“That’s good!”

At this moment, Bao Zigang walked over with the dwarf who was still cursing in one hand. “What’s going on here?”

“Leader, an expert injured Lin Changqing with a hidden weapon. Fortunately, Lin Changqing’s dog saved him. He only has a superficial wound now. This is the hidden weapon.”

Bao Zigang glanced at Lin Changqing, then at the dart that had sunk deeply into the wooden table, and said, “You guys deal with the rest. I’ll bring Lin Changqing and this main culprit back first.”

“Leader Bao, I want to keep this dart as a memento. I wonder if that’s okay?” Lin Changqing walked to the wooden table and asked Bao Zigang.

“Of course you can. This is just an ordinary steel dart. The culprit won’t leave any traces. However, with Little Tiger around, it’s possible that you can find some clues. If you have any clues, come and find me. Don’t act rashly.”

Bao Zigang grabbed the dwarf who was already unconscious from excessive blood loss with his right hand. He pulled out the dart on the wooden table with his left hand and handed it to Lin Changqing.

“Thank you, Leader Bao!”

Lin Changqing took the dart, took the [Bamboo Staff] that the gang members had picked up, and returned to the gang with Bao Zigang and the others.

“I was actually very puzzled why you keep holding a stick. I didn’t expect your staff technique to be so exquisite. You found the murderer and stopped the main culprit from escaping. You’ve made two contributions this time. If the hallist finds out, he’ll definitely be very happy.”

Bao Zigang handed over the unconscious dwarf to the others. On the way back to the gang nervously, he even chatted with Lin Changqing.

“I’ve been alone since I was young. In order to protect myself, I thought about it blindly. It’s not presentable. I have to thank you for giving me the chance to make a contribution this time.”

With Bao Zigang around, they did not encounter any more accidents along the way. The group successfully returned to the gang’s base.
