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

"Wang Tianfu, you've really made me look for you!"

"You think you can fool me with this level of disguise? You're underestimating me."

"During the day, you had the others split into three groups and escape, and even spread false rumors that you were going to escape from Luoxia Mountain. Luckily, I was on my guard, otherwise you really would have escaped!"

The old man at the head of the large ship had a long scar on his face and a pair of hooks at his waist. When he spoke, his smile made the scar on his face look even more ferocious.

"It's 'Soul Reaper' Chen Yuan!"

"Damn it!"

Deng Yong shielded Wang Tianfu behind him, and his expression changed drastically after he saw the old man's face clearly.

"Young Master, Chen Yuan is a peak eighth-rank expert. I'm not confident I can stop him. While I'm fighting him, jump into the river and escape!"

"There's still a glimmer of hope!"

Wang Tianfu's face was also pale. He had heard of Chen Yuan's name before. Although he was only at the peak of the eighth rank, Chen Yuan was ruthless and liked to torture people. It was difficult for anyone who fell into his hands to leave behind a complete corpse.

With a swift leap, Chen Yuan landed on Xiao Bieli's large ship. He glanced at Wang Tianfu, then turned to Deng Yong, and sneered:

"Deng Yong, you think you can stop me with your trashy attitude?"

"Don't worry, none of you will be leaving here today!"

"Young Master, let's go!" Deng Yong shouted, drawing his sword with a domineering force, the wind howling fiercely.

clang!

The long sword in Deng Yong's hand was blocked by a hook made of fine iron.

"Your master died at my hands the day before yesterday. Now I'm sending you down to reunite with him!"

With a sinister grin on his face, Chen Yuan used one iron hook to block Deng Yong's knife while slashing at Deng Yong's waist with the other hook.

Forced to retreat repeatedly, Deng Yong desperately tried to use his internal energy to defend himself, but after only a few moves, he was already at a disadvantage.

"Quickly, young master!"

Deng Yong turned around and roared.

Noisy!

His waist was slashed by an iron hook, and blood stained Deng Yong's waist red.

Xiao Bieli shook his head.

Although both are of the eighth rank, Chen Yuan not only has a deeper internal strength than Deng Yong, but his moves are also more exquisite. Within a few dozen moves, Deng Yong will probably be defeated.

At this time,

Wang Tianfu and his men also clashed with the Changhe Gang members who had boarded the boat.

Aside from Wang Tianfu, who was an eighth-rank official, he only had two other members of the same rank by his side, which was no match for the ferocious members of the Changhe Gang.

Wang Tianfu fought and retreated, his eyes filled with despair.

Although Deng Yong managed to hold off 'Soul Hook' Chen Yuan, he wasn't a good swimmer, and with more than a dozen small boats lurking around the large ship, he wouldn't be able to escape even if he jumped into the water.

Out of the corner of his eye, Wang Tianfu caught sight of Xiao Bieli sitting on the edge of the deck. His eyes lit up. He and Deng Yong had suspected that the disheveled young man in front of them was not simple. Now, the only way to survive was to drag him down with them.

Wang Tianfu forced back the eighth-rank expert of the Changhe Gang he was fighting with a single strike, then came to Xiao Bieli's side and shouted loudly:

"Young hero, save me!"

"If you save me, these two thousand taels of silver are yours..."

After saying that, Wang Tianfu took out an exquisite wooden box from his chest and threw it at Xiao Bieli.

Seeing Xiao Bieli accept the brocade box, Wang Tianfu's face lit up with joy, but his smile immediately froze.

Clang!

The hundred-times-forged sword was drawn from its sheath, its blade flashing.

puff!

Wang Tianfu's head flew into the air, blood spurting out, his eyes filled with disbelief, as he fell to the ground.

[Experience +500, Disguise Mask +1]

"Consume all experience to upgrade the Gale Blade Technique!"

Xiao Bieli silently recited in his heart,

Since the Changhe Gang is also looking for him in Linshui County, it's very likely that he'll be recognized by this group of Changhe Gang members. We should still use their experience.

boom!

His hands were burning hot as countless experiences from practicing the Gale Blade Technique flooded his mind, and the calluses on his hands deepened.

Ok?

Xiao Bieli frowned slightly as he looked at the four new words that appeared on the system panel.

However, after perfecting the Gale Blade Technique, he truly felt that the Hundred-Forged Blade in his hand was like an extension of his own arm, as easy to use as a finger.

hiss!

Those on the boat gasped in shock upon witnessing this scene.

All of this happened so suddenly that even the eighth-rank member of the Changhe Gang, who was fighting Wang Tianfu, didn't react in time.

The other people on the boat also tensed up.

Some people had already noticed that this beggar-like boy was exceptionally skilled, but Wang Tianfu was also an eighth-rank official. Even if it was a sneak attack, killing an eighth-rank official with a single strike was still terrifying.

"you……"

"court death!"

Deng Yong roared and clashed head-on with Chen Yuan, the "Soul Hook Hand." Ignoring his injuries, he stepped onto the deck and charged towards Xiao Bieli through the air.

Chen Yuan, the "Soul-Hooking Hand," made no attempt to stop them. Instead, he focused his gaze on Xiao Bieli, a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

However, a member of the Changhe Gang, an eighth-rank member standing not far from Chen Yuan, narrowed his eyes, leaned closer to Chen Yuan, and whispered something in his ear. Chen Yuan's expression changed drastically.

……

Enraged, Deng Yong unleashed a powerful and heavy strike, aiming straight for Xiao Bieli's face.

"He has immense internal strength, but his swordsmanship is utterly pathetic!"

A strong wind blew in his face, but Xiao Bieli's expression remained unchanged. He drew his Hundred-Forged Blade once more, its blade flashing.

Xiao Bieli's previous strike that killed Wang Tianfu was fast enough, but compared to this strike, it was still much slower.

puff!

Blood gushed from his neck, and Deng Yong collapsed softly to the ground.

[Experience +500!]

Sheathing his sword, Xiao Bieli looked at Chen Yuan, the 'Soul-Hooking Hand,' and smiled:

"Now that you've recognized me, aren't you going to do something about it?"

Although he was dealing with Deng Yong, he had been paying attention to Chen Yuan. Although he didn't hear what was said, judging from the changes in Chen Yuan's expression, they must have recognized his identity.

Seeing that Chen Yuan did not speak, Xiao Bieli continued:

"I don't understand. The relationship between the Changhe Gang and the Xiao family is just so-so. Why do they have to get involved in this mess?"

snort!

Chen Yuan snorted coldly and waved his hand:

"Xiao Bieli, you murdered your father and deceived your sister-in-law! My Changhe Gang will rid the people of this scourge!"

"Kill him and take him back to the Xiao family for disposal!"

Xiao Bieli?

The people on the ship were stunned. They had just been discussing the matter of Wang Dashan and Xiao Bieli on the deck. They never expected that in the blink of an eye, Wang Dashan's son, Wang Tianfu, would die, and at the hands of Xiao Bieli.

As Chen Yuan finished speaking, the three eighth-rank experts from the Long River Gang who had jumped onto the large ship earlier attacked almost simultaneously. All three of them used short swords, and their coordination was excellent, with one strike after another, relentless and continuous.

"Killed his father and betrayed his sister-in-law?"

"Was it that bastard Xiao Fusheng who made you spread this rumor?" In an instant, Xiao Bieli's eyes flashed with grief, indignation, and madness as he roared:

"He wanted to kill me in order to curry favor with the disciples of the Cangyuan Sword Sect. If my father hadn't desperately stopped him, I would have died at his hands long ago!"

"Today, I'll collect some interest from you first, and let Xiao Fusheng wash his neck clean before I go find him!"

Since Xiao Fusheng wanted to ruin his reputation, how could he let him have his way?

what?

Everyone on the ship was shocked.

To curry favor with the Cangyuan Sword Sect?

I heard that Xiao Bieli is engaged to Lin Qingyuan, the eldest daughter of the Lin family, and that Lin Qingyuan has joined the Cangyuan Sword Sect and become a true disciple of the sect.

Could it be a love-hate relationship between a disciple of the Cangyuan Sword Sect and this Xiao Bieli?

After Xiao Bieli finished speaking, they already believed him to some extent.

After all, Xiao Bieli's own account is more credible than the claim that he killed his father and deceived his sister-in-law.

Only the Cangyuan Sword Sect can explain why the Changhe Gang sided with the Xiao family and helped them.

Dangdang Dangdang!

In an instant, Xiao Bieli had exchanged dozens of blows with the three eighth-rank members of the Changhe Gang.

The blade flashed, and sparks flew.

Despite their excellent teamwork, the three were unable to defeat Xiao Bieli for the time being.

Meanwhile, Chen Yuan, wielding two hooks, stared intently at Xiao Bieli.

Finally, after Xiao Bieli and the three eighth-rank swordsmen of the Changhe Gang exchanged forty-three blows, Chen Yuan's eyes lit up. He slashed towards Xiao Bieli, his iron hooks whistling through the air. One hook aimed for Xiao Bieli's chest, while the other went straight for Xiao Bieli's abdomen.

'Hey! '

Old Liu, who had been talking so eloquently, sighed softly.

Based on his years of experience traveling all over the country, Xiao Bieli was already an eighth-rank master at such a young age, which could be considered a rare genius. But unfortunately, he met Chen Yuan, and Chen Yuan shamelessly launched a sneak attack.

This kid is probably doomed!

Xiao Bieli smiled, pushed off the deck with his feet, and slashed out with his sword in front of the three men's flashing blades and the attacking double hooks.

Xiao Bieli went all out with this strike.

Without holding back at all.

Ding-dong!

No one knew how Xiao Bieli had unleashed that strike. They only heard a clang of metal on metal, and then saw the three Changhe Gang experts who had been attacking Xiao Bieli fall to the ground. Xiao Bieli and Chen Yuan's bodies brushed past each other and switched places.

Tick ​​tock!

A drop of blood fell onto the deck.

"You... you actually wore a high-grade inner armor... I'm not reconciled..."

With resentment in his eyes, Chen Yuan, the "Soul-Hooking Hand," collapsed limply to the ground.
