Refining Oneself Into A Corpse

The black giant tiger ignited black flames around its body, a manifestation of the Black Heart Tiger's full activation of its spiritual treasure—enhancing itself.

Then, it stepped towards the black giant wolf, and at the same time, a pressure descended, causing the black giant wolf to abruptly halt its movements. This was the Sick Tiger's full activation of its spiritual treasure—Tiger's Gait of Sickness.

Once close enough, the black giant tiger suddenly leaped high, pouncing down on the black giant wolf from above. This was the Downhill Tiger's full activation of its spiritual treasure—Fierce Tiger Descends the Mountain.

The three of them exerted their full power, using the black giant tiger as a medium to unleash their attacks, the power of which approached the level of a Second-Rank Spirit Master.

Seeing this, the black giant wolf's eyes flashed with white light, and it immediately made a decision. This was the White-Eyed Wolf's full activation of its spiritual treasure—Eye of Investigation.

Then, an extremely dense black mist arose beneath the black giant wolf, and it darted aside at an extremely fast speed. This was the Swift Wind Wolf's full activation of its spiritual treasure—Swift Wind Steps, capable of instantly increasing its speed.

Evading the black giant tiger's attack, the black giant wolf wanted to counterattack, but a tiger tail was already swiftly approaching.

At this moment, the fur on the black giant wolf's body began to grow wildly, almost instantly enveloping it. This was the Black Fur Wolf's activation of its spiritual treasure—Black Fur Escape.

And at this time, the tiger tail swept across the black giant wolf's body.

"Bang!"

With a loud crash, the black giant wolf was sent flying, hurtling a distance before landing on the ground and rolling several times before finally stopping.

This showed the black giant tiger's attack was indeed formidable.

The area where the black giant wolf was struck was now charred black, and the fur had been burned to nothingness.

From the start of the battle, the black giant tiger had been in the upper hand but had been unable to land a hit on the black giant wolf. This strike was the first time it had hit the black giant wolf since the battle began.

And the black giant wolf was clearly stalling for time, waiting for the authorities to arrive.

But what they didn't know was that Feng Liuhen was not in Black Stone Town, and Lu Chuan had tacitly approved of the Black Tiger Gang's actions. Their wait was destined to be in vain.

The black giant wolf slowly rose, its pale white pupils flashing with white light. It wanted to peer into the black giant tiger's thoughts, but it saw nothing.

The black giant tiger stepped forward step by step, and a pressure descended upon the black giant wolf, as the Tiger's Gait of Sickness was activated.

Getting closer and closer to the black giant wolf, the black giant tiger's aura suddenly surged, and then it leaped up.

The black giant wolf continued to use Swift Wind Steps to dodge.

The two sides were once again locked in a stalemate.

At this moment, the gang members had dispersed, quietly watching the battle between the tiger and the wolf, because they knew that the real decision of victory or defeat was not them, but the true powerhouses of the two forces.

Finally, the black giant tiger seized an opening from the black giant wolf, pinned it heavily to the ground, and then opened its bloody mouth to bite down on its head.

The black giant wolf did not sit still and wait for death. It struggled to twist its body and also opened its bloody mouth to meet the attack.

The tiger and wolf engaged in a fierce fight, with black mist spreading around and beast roars constantly echoing.

Gradually, the sounds of fighting grew weaker and weaker, until they finally disappeared completely.

The black mist dissipated, revealing three scarred and upright figures.

It was the three gang leaders of the Black Tiger Gang.

However, they were clearly injured at the moment, and strands of white silver hair fluttered in the wind on their heads.

Three corpses lay on the ground, the three gang leaders of the Black Wolf Gang.

"We won!"

Someone shouted, and the Black Tiger Gang members immediately cheered, while the Black Wolf Gang members, seeing this, threw down their weapons and surrendered.

Black Heart Tiger, Sick Tiger, and Downhill Tiger came to the corpses of Black Fur Wolf and the others.

They saw wounds all over their bodies, their appearances greatly changed, and they looked like old men.

They searched their bodies.

Black Heart Tiger pulled out a few fragments of black fur, which turned into ashes and scattered with the wind as soon as he took them out; Sick Tiger pulled out a pair of curved black strips of stone, which shattered as soon as he held them in his hand; Downhill Tiger pulled out two white stones the size of eyeballs, which turned into ashes as soon as he held them in his hand and slipped through his fingers.

After a spiritual treasure is refined by a spiritual master, it can be easily destroyed with just a thought from the spiritual master, so it is extremely difficult to obtain the loser's spiritual treasure after a battle.

"It seems they destroyed their spiritual treasures before they died," Black Heart Tiger said in a hoarse voice.

Sick Tiger and Downhill Tiger were silent, they had already thought of this situation.

The three of them were also seriously injured at the moment, and their ability to transform into black tigers came at the cost of their lives.

"Clean up the battlefield, those who surrender will not be killed!" Black Heart Tiger issued the order.

In fact, without him saying so, the Black Wolf Gang members had already given up resisting when the battle was decided.

After all, the gang leaders had been defeated, and it was impossible for them, the small fries, to continue resisting. Living under anyone's command was still living.

For them, it was just a change of gang leader. Who they followed didn't matter, as long as they had money and didn't starve!

The Black Tiger Gang won a great victory, taking over the Black Wolf Gang's camp at a very small cost, and then those gang members combined to start putting out the fire.

The battle between the black giant wolf and the black giant wolf had almost destroyed the camp. At this moment, raging flames were burning everywhere in the Black Wolf Gang's camp, and a scorching aura rushed towards them.

Next, the three gang leaders of the Black Tiger Gang began to search for other legacies left by the Black Wolf Gang.

At this time, it was already late at night.

"From now on, the underground forces of Black Stone Town will be dominated by my Black Tiger Gang," Black Heart Tiger said with emotion, sitting in the position originally occupied by Black Heart Wolf.

This night passed, and the battles between the Black Tiger Gang and the Black Wolf Gang in other places had already ended.

Without a doubt, the Black Tiger Gang won. From then on, the Black Tiger Gang completely eliminated the Black Wolf Gang, a competitor who shared underground interests with them, and dominated Black Stone Town.

The sky was gloomy, and the wind gradually picked up.

The vendors of Black Stone Town began another busy day.

For the few streets previously controlled by the Black Wolf Gang, they woke up to find that their masters had changed. Fortunately, the Black Tiger Gang did not make things difficult for them, and they continued to open their doors for business as usual.

Black Heart Tiger, bearing his injuries, came to Lu Chuan's residence.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

A knock sounded on the door.

"Creak..."

The door was opened.

"You've come," Lu Chuan said indifferently.

"Officer Lu," Black Heart Tiger bowed slightly and saluted.

Looking at Black Heart Tiger's somewhat graying temples, Lu Chuan sighed slightly and asked, "Is it worth it?"

"There's nothing worth or not worth it. I have to do this. I'll leave the rest to Officer Lu," Black Heart Tiger said, taking out a small package from his arms.

He carefully opened it, and inside, ten spiritual stones lay quietly.

"This is to show respect to Officer Lu," Black Heart Tiger said with a flattering smile.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan's eyes lit up.

"Hmm," Lu Chuan nodded slightly, accepting the ten spiritual stones.

"I wonder if Chief Constable Feng has any comments on what I've done?" Black Heart Tiger wanted to get a sense of Feng Liuhen's attitude from Lu Chuan.

"I don't know what the Chief Constable is thinking, but I will do my best to do what I promised you. As for the final result, I can't guarantee it," Lu Chuan said indifferently.

"Okay, then I'll trouble Officer Lu. I'll take my leave first," Black Heart Tiger said with a smile.

"Okay, go," Lu Chuan said, closing the courtyard door.

Black Heart Tiger turned and left, his face as gloomy as water.

"Good for you, Lu Chuan, those are ten spiritual stones! Almost the entire fortune of the Black Tiger Gang and the Black Wolf Gang. What a greedy guy," Black Heart Tiger thought to himself.

But he had no choice. He was just a small figure, and he had to curry favor with Lu Chuan, because only Lu Chuan would say a few words for him. As for finding Du Jiangliu, Black Heart Tiger never thought about it.

Regardless of their relationship, even if he found Du Jiangliu, Lu Chuan would still find out, which would make Lu Chuan unhappy. From this point of view, it was most cost-effective to find Lu Chuan directly.

As for going directly to Feng Liuhen? Don't be ridiculous, he couldn't even see Feng Liuhen's face.

Lu Chuan tossed the package in his hand, a smile on his lips: "Hehe, you want to send me away with just these spiritual stones, Black Heart Tiger? This matter is difficult to handle."

Although ten spiritual stones were not a small amount for Lu Chuan, he had far more opportunities to obtain spiritual stones than Black Heart Tiger. In Black Heart Tiger's eyes, these ten spiritual stones were like cutting his flesh, but in Lu Chuan's eyes, it was not enough to protect them for these ten spiritual stones.

"Next, I have to knock them hard. Anyway, the Chief Constable won't keep them when he comes back. I have to squeeze out their value. Anyway, I'm the one who has the final say in Black Stone Town now," Lu Chuan looked at the snow scene outside the window, and an idea quietly grew in his heart.

………………………………

Three days passed in a flash.

Black Stone Town, Old Burial Grounds.

Deep underground, next to an underground dark river.

Two figures stood there quietly, surrounded by Yin energy, almost condensed into substance. At this moment, it seemed that all the Yin energy of the underground dark river had gathered here.

Directly in front of the two, a black lotus was slowly blooming. It was blooming slowly, but it did not stop at all.

In the center of the lotus, the three colors of red, orange, and yellow gradually became distinct.

Gradually, as the lotus bloomed, the three lotus seeds became more and more restrained in their divine light, becoming more and more concentrated.

One incense stick of time... two incense sticks of time... three incense sticks of time...

Finally, the lotus bloomed completely, and the surrounding Yin energy seemed to have found a breakthrough, all pouring towards the Yin Underworld Three-Colored Lotus, which absorbed the Yin energy without reservation.

At this moment, the three lotus seeds lay quietly on it, occasionally flashing a trace of divine light.

"It's at this moment!" Feng Liuhen's face was excited when he saw this.

His fingertips surged with wind spiritual power, pointing towards the Yin Underworld Three-Colored Lotus.

The wind spiritual power turned into a breeze, sweeping towards the three lotus seeds.
