Wuxia: Slay enemies to boost your cultivation; my power is boundless!

The bright moon hangs in the sky, and the water sparkles.

A small boat that can hold about twenty people is sailing down the Yuanjiang River.

Besides Xiao Bieli, there were only Leopard's men. This time, Leopard also boarded the ship.

The ship's hold was filled with cargo. Xiao Bieli and several of Leopard Lord's sailors sat on the deck, while Leopard Lord stayed in the hold with a few trusted men.

on deck,

Xiao Bieli sat on the edge of the deck, holding his knife, while a group of sailors under Leopard Lord chatted idly.

"Hey kid, you look so delicate, who did you offend here that you're running away to Dongjiang County?"

A burly man looked at Xiao Bieli and asked.

As soon as this word comes out,

Everyone on the deck looked at Xiao Bieli.

Xiao Bieli smiled and said:

"We've offended the Sanjiang Alliance, we have no choice but to leave!"

hiss!

Upon hearing this, the sailors on deck all gasped in shock.

In Linshui County, who hasn't heard of the famous Sanjiang Alliance?

Even the official forces in the county governments of various counties colluded with the Sanjiang Alliance. It can be said that the Sanjiang Alliance was the heaven of Linshui County.

This kid offended the Three Rivers Alliance, yet he still managed to escape to their territory?

Looks like they've got some skill!

"Did you offend someone under an elder of the Sanjiang Alliance, or someone from the Sanjiang Alliance headquarters?" someone asked in a low voice.

Xiao Bieli said calmly:

"The Long River Gang!"

"I offended the Changhe Gang, so I have to run away."

Hahaha!

Upon hearing this, everyone laughed.

"So it's the Changhe Gang!"

"I thought you had offended the Sanjiang Alliance headquarters. The Changhe Gang is alright, but before, there was a guy named Xiao Bieli from Lechun who was also being chased by the Changhe Gang. He also fled from Yuanjiang to Dongjiang County."

"Speaking of which... that Xiao Bieli is quite skilled in martial arts despite his young age. Even a seasoned veteran like Chen Yuan, the 'Soul Hook Hand,' has fallen into his hands!"

"I heard that Lin Tiantong, the Grand Elder of the Changhe Gang, went to Dongjiang County, but he couldn't find Xiao Bieli's whereabouts."

"..."

Xiao Bieli listened to the sailors' conversation, smiled, and remained silent.

……

Inside the ship's cabin.

The burly man who had previously let Xiao Bieli into the courtyard, hearing the commotion outside, walked over to Leopard Master and whispered:

"Boss Leopard, that kid is a fat sheep, shouldn't we make a move on him?"

Just now, that kid spent over a hundred taels of silver. They risked their lives to make this trip, and they can only earn three or four hundred taels of silver. Moreover, Master Leopard took the lion's share, so each of them will only get a dozen or twenty taels of silver.

If we kill that kid outside and manage to steal a few hundred taels of silver, everyone can get at least thirty taels more.

After all, he had to share some of the money he earned with the brothers guarding the house, but he didn't have to share the money he found on the road.

Seeing that Leopard remained silent, the burly man continued:

"The Three Rivers Alliance and the Twelve Linked Forts are now locked in fierce combat, which has increased the risks of transporting goods!"

"Judging from that kid's actions just now, he must have a lot of silver on him. If we can make a killing from this, we won't have to work for months!"

Leopard picked up the water bottle, took a sip, and said calmly:

"Would I have come here if it weren't to deal with this kid?"

"Don't worry, we'll make our move after we cross Sanlidu!"

"The current at Sanli Ferry is swift. Even if that kid is a seventh-rank martial artist who has opened up the six extraordinary meridians, his chances of survival are slim without a boat at Sanli Ferry."

"That way, even if I accidentally let him escape, there won't be any problems."

……

Moon stars are rare.

The journey from Linshui County to Dongjiang County is simply a matter of going downstream; all that's needed is for someone to steer the boat and prevent it from hitting the mountain walls and reefs.

There was no entertainment on the ship, and everyone was drowsy.

The boat traveled to Sanlidu.

Leopard emerged from the cabin with five of his trusted men.

The sailors, who had been dozing off, hurriedly stood up when they saw Leopard come out.

"Master Leopard!"

"Master Leopard!"

When transporting goods, Leopard usually stays in the cabin drinking. Why is he out today?

"What does Leopard mean by this?" Xiao Bieli's eyes narrowed slightly, a smile playing on his lips.

With his current martial arts skills, nothing within a hundred meters could escape his notice. Although Leopard and the others were not speaking loudly in the cabin, he still heard everything.

Looking at Xiao Bieli, Leopard sighed:

"Business on the river is getting harder and harder to do now, so I have to do other businesses as well."

"Hand over all your silver, banknotes, and valuables, and I'll let you leave!"

"Here?" Xiao Bieli shook his head:

"This is Sanli Ferry. Even if a seventh-rank martial artist falls in, the chances of survival are slim."

"Jumping down is not a good choice!"

Leopard frowned:

"You heard us talking?"

However, his brows immediately relaxed.

"Fine, since you're being given a way out... All of you, get out of here!"

As Leopard's words fell,

His five trusted henchmen, their faces contorted with savage grins, brandished their weapons and charged at Xiao Bieli.

"If you want the money on me, why don't you do it yourself? ...Why send a bunch of useless trash to their deaths?"

Xiao Bieli shook his head.

Swish!

A crimson glint appeared in the light of a blade.

"what……"

Five screams rang out almost simultaneously, but then stopped abruptly.

puff!

Five heads flew into the air and rolled onto the deck, while the headless corpse lay on the ground.

Blood rained down from the sky!

[Experience +100!]

[Experience +500!]

[Experience +500!]

【…】

The instant the five heads shot into the air, Leopard pushed off the deck with his feet, leaping into the water.

"Ah...this..."

A gasp reached his ears, and he instinctively turned his head to see that half of his body was left on the deck. Looking down, he could see that he was only half a body left.

Pfft!

The sound of half a body submerging into the water reached the ears of everyone on the boat.

[Experience +1000!]

[Rain of Pear Blossom Needles (Rank 5 Hidden Weapon) +1!]

Oh?

Xiao Bieli smiled. He had heard the name "Rain of Pear Blossoms Needle" countless times in his previous life. It was ranked quite high among hidden weapons. He never expected that in this world it would only be classified as a fifth-grade hidden weapon.

I wonder if the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles can kill a fifth-rank enemy?

Moreover, the items dropped by this system panel are completely random?

He killed a sixth-rank BOSS for the first time and didn't get anything, but a seventh-rank early-stage Leopard Lord actually gave him Rain of Pear Blossom Needles.

With a 'thud,' several sailors simultaneously fell to their knees.

"Young hero, spare my life!"

"We had no idea that Lord Leopard was going to make a move against you!"

"..."

"Master Leopard hasn't targeted anyone on the boat for a year or two... We really didn't know!"

They kowtowed repeatedly, making the deck rattle.

They are really scared!

Leopard was a seventh-rank master, but just now they didn't even know how this young hero drew his sword before Leopard was cut in half at the waist.

Even though the young hero stood there without moving an inch, Leopard was still cut in half at the waist.

"Get up!"

"I also need you to take me to Dongjiang County!"

Xiao Bieli spoke softly.

These people are just ordinary people who are a bit stronger and have some martial arts skills. Even if you kill them all, you'll only get a few dozen experience points.

They've all been killed; surely he can't take charge himself?

And he really doesn't!

"Thank you, young man!"

"Thank you..."

Upon hearing this, the sailors breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Bieli glanced at the corpses on the deck and frowned, saying:

"Throw all the bodies into the river!"

Several sailors hurriedly threw the body into the river and then waited for Xiao Bieli's further instructions.

Xiao Bieli said calmly:

"Okay, don't be nervous!"

"Just do what you're supposed to do. Once you reach Dongjiang County, I'll release you!"

After saying that, Xiao Bieli went into the cabin.

Chi!

With a single cut, the packed goods were slit open, and the white refined salt spilled out of the bag.

Xiao Bieli opened the other wooden crates containing goods; they all contained relatively inexpensive items.

"Everything else is just incidental; this smuggled salt alone is enough for them to earn several hundred taels of silver!"

"However... if the government or the Zhenwu Hall finds out, it's a matter of losing one's head... How could a mere seventh-rank martial artist possibly obtain this quality of refined salt over a long period of time?"

"There's probably someone behind this, maybe even government officials!"

Xiao Bieli shook his head.

He has no shortage of money, and he has no connections, so dealing with these smuggled salts is troublesome.

He's got a lot of trouble on his hands now.

"Extract the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle!"

A flat, box-like bronze object appeared in Xiao Bieli's hand. It looked unremarkable, but there was a movable part on its top. With a gentle push, the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles would be activated.

"This is the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle?"

"It's easy to carry; you can hide it in your sleeve and no one will notice."

"Indeed, it's a must-have for murder and looting, for home and travel!"
