Chapter 31 Perfected: Five Tigers Sever the Gate with a Blade!
【Five Tigers Severing the Gate with Knife (92/100)】
boom!
Countless experiences from practicing the Five Tigers Severing Gate Saber flooded into Xiao Bieli's mind, as if he had been practicing the Five Tigers Severing Gate Saber for many years.
A moment later, Xiao Bieli opened his eyes.
"I'm only 800 experience points away from reaching the maximum level. I wonder if I'll get any extra rewards after maxing out the Five Tigers Severing the Gate Blade!"
Stepping out of the cabin,
The sailors on deck were terrified when they saw Xiao Bieli.
Xiao Bieli didn't make things difficult for them, but simply asked:
"How much longer until we can enter the territory of Dongjiang County?"
A sailor quickly said:
"We'll be within the territory of Dongjiang County in at most an hour!"
Xiao Bieli nodded.
The small boat sailed smoothly down the river and successfully exited Sanlidu, where the current had become a little calmer.
Just as everything was going smoothly and the small boat was about to enter the territory of Dongjiang County,
Woohoo~
A horn sounded from behind.
At the same time, a shout could be heard.
"There's a boat ahead!"
"Sailing quietly in the dead of night, there must be something wrong with that!"
"Lean closer!"
Six small boats with lights shot across the river like arrows, leaving long white trails as they approached Xiao Bieli's boat.
"How to do?"
"It looks like a ship from the Sanjiang Alliance?"
"Master Leopard is dead... He knew some experts from the Three Rivers Alliance..."
The sailors on deck all changed their expressions.
The Sanjiang Alliance and the official forces of Linshui County are quite powerful, and the private salt business in Linshui County has always been exclusively managed by the Sanjiang Alliance. If they were caught, they would surely die.
Although they were good swimmers, there were clearly skilled swimmers on these boats, and their boats were shuttle boats, which were very fast. No matter how good their swimming skills were, they couldn't escape.
Xiao Bieli ignored the sailors and instead looked into the distance by the moonlight.
Behind these six small boats, there was a large ship.
Although the large ship is not as fast as the small boat, it is still faster than the ship they are standing on. The two ships are now only four or five hundred meters apart, and they will be overtaken in a moment.
……
Looking at the 'Tracing Gu' in his hand, Liu Jun noticed that it had become unusually agitated as they approached the ship, clearly indicating that Xiao Bieli, whom he had been searching for for a month, was on the ship ahead.
"Move closer!"
Liu Jun waved his hand:
"We can't let him get away today!"
Standing behind Liu Jun, Ding Kaishan said calmly:
"Young Master, leave this matter to me!"
"By the time you arrive, I will have already captured Xiao Bieli, and he is awaiting your disposal, young master!"
Liu Jun nodded:
"Then I'll trouble you, Ding, to make it happen!"
Upon hearing this, Ding Kaishan suddenly pushed off the deck and landed on the river. He moved across the water like a dragonfly skimming the surface, turning into a black dot in just a moment and darting towards the boat in front.
"What superb lightness skill!" Zhou Chang exclaimed sincerely.
Although he was at the peak of the sixth rank, Ding Kaishan's lightness skill was far superior to his. Even if Ding Kaishan's martial arts were inferior to his, it would not be easy for him to kill Ding Kaishan.
Liu Jun smiled and said:
"Before becoming a retainer of my Liu family, Ding Gongfeng spent some time in the bandit world. If his lightness skill wasn't good, he probably wouldn't be alive today."
"Ding Gongfeng can easily handle Xiao Bieli!"
……
on deck,
Xiao Bieli also saw the figure rushing towards them like an arrow released from a bow. He said calmly to the sailors who were stunned on the deck:
“The current is calm here now. If you jump in now, you still have a chance to survive.”
Upon hearing this, the sailors seemed to awaken from a dream.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
Without any hesitation, the sailors jumped off the ship.
At this time,
The Sanjiang Alliance disciples on those small boats had already rushed to the side of the boats. Seeing a figure standing at the bow, the Sanjiang Alliance leader shouted:
"Send two boats and bring back the escapees!"
"The rest of you, follow me and capture this man!"
After saying that, more than a dozen figures leaped up and landed on the deck.
"Kid, I'll take the credit for this..."
The leader of the Sanjiang Alliance, his eyes gleaming with joy, drew his long sword and slashed at Xiao Bieli's arms.
Although I don't know what Young Hero Liu wants with the people on this ship, as long as we capture them all, there will definitely be a reward.
The other experts from the Three Rivers Alliance who rushed with him also attacked almost simultaneously, heading towards Xiao Bieli.
"You know nothing, yet you dare to be the first to stick your neck out?" Xiao Bieli sneered.
In the martial arts world, the most frightening thing is not recognizing one's own strength.
Clang!
Red-sleeved knife drawn
Xiao Bieli didn't even use his true energy; the blade flashed.
The leader of the Sanjiang Alliance was sent flying by the blow and fell to the ground, lifeless.
[Experience +500!]
At this time,
With the leader charging forward, the other Sanjiang Alliance disciples had no way to retreat.
Swish swish!
In an instant, Xiao Bieli unleashed more than a dozen slashes with his bare body. Wherever the blades struck, everyone was wounded and sent flying, never to be seen again.
[Experience +10!]
[Experience +10!]
[Experience +100!]
[Experience +500!]
【…】
In an instant, Xiao Bieli's experience points on the system panel reached over a thousand again.
As the figure riding the waves drew ever closer, Xiao Bieli did not hesitate and silently chanted, "Consume 800 experience points to upgrade the Five Tigers Severing Gate Blade!"
【Five Tigers Severing the Gate Blade (Complete)】
In an instant, his proficiency with the Five Tigers Breaking the Gate Saber reached its maximum, and countless insights into the Five Tigers Breaking the Gate Saber flooded his mind.
At this time,
Ding Kaishan had landed steadily on the small boat. Looking at the deck full of corpses, Ding Kaishan's expression remained unchanged, but his gaze towards Xiao Bieli held a hint of surprise:
"Boy, you won't run?"
Xiao Bieli shook his head:
"There's nothing to run for!"
Now that he is a sixth-rank official, and with the Rain of Pear Blossoms Needles hidden in his sleeve, even if the attacker is a fifth-rank official, he might still be able to turn the tables and kill them with the Rain of Pear Blossoms Needles.
Moreover, the Three Rivers Alliance wouldn't send a fifth-rank expert to deal with a seventh-rank peak expert who can fight against a sixth-rank expert, would they?
"Good, good, good!" Ding Kaishan looked at Xiao Bieli and laughed.
"You've got guts, you're bolder than most people in the Jianghu of Manzhou!"
Where is Xiao Bieli?
"Hand him over, and I might plead with the young master to spare your life!"
Xiao Bieli's expression turned somewhat strange, and he asked:
"Are you here to see Xiao Bieli?"
Ding Kaishan nodded:
"Not bad, that kid is good at hiding, but he has offended the Liu family. Even if he hides to the ends of the earth, he is destined to die!"
Suddenly, Ding Kaishan's face showed suspicion as he carefully examined Xiao Bieli and said:
"Have I seen you somewhere before...? No... are you Shen Lang?"
"I didn't expect that the Changhe Gang couldn't deal with you. As expected, the sixth-rank martial artists in Manzhou are nothing special. They're really not good enough. They can't even take down a seventh-rank one!"
"That's all!"
"Who told you to embarrass my young master time and time again? You're just unlucky to have met me!"
The moment the words fell,
Swish!
Two hidden weapons shot out from Ding Kaishan's sleeves, heading straight for Xiao Bieli's face. Then, he darted forward and pointed a finger at Xiao Bieli's chest.
Although he said that, he had been in the business world for many years and knew the principle that even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit.
Many masters have met their tragic ends because they underestimated their opponents!
Even though the person in front of him was only at the peak of the seventh rank, he would not give him any chance.
Xiao Bieli flicked his left sleeve, his true energy spreading throughout it, sweeping away the two hidden weapons like a broom. Then, he clenched his right fist, extended his thumb, and pointed at Ding Kaishan's finger as he met the attack.
boom!
Both of them shuddered and stomped their feet hard, creating two deep dents in the deck of the small boat.
Then, almost simultaneously, the two extended their fingers again, and their fingers collided once more.
boom!
This time,
"I'd heard you were a master swordsman, but I never imagined you also possessed external martial arts skills?"
"And this finger technique..."
Ding Kaishan took three steps back, his fingers trembling slightly, his face filled with disbelief.
The moment Ding Kaishan spoke, Xiao Bieli let out a soft sigh, his inner energy surged, and he pointed out with one finger.
Mighty Vajra Finger!
The terrifying finger force tore through the air, hurtling towards Ding Kaishan with the power to shatter metal and split rocks.
"You're projecting your true energy? You're actually a sixth-grade cultivator?"
"Damn it!"
Ding Kaishan's expression was extremely solemn, and he circulated his internal energy to its limit before pointing out with a single finger.
Two sharp finger strikes collided in mid-air.
The force shot out in all directions, blasting more than a dozen small holes in the deck.
Without any hesitation, Ding Kaishan slammed his foot on the deck, leaped into the air, and fled towards the other end of the small boat.
This Shen Lang possesses terrifying external martial arts skills. Even if he goes all out, he can't defeat Shen Lang. Now, he can only wait for the experts from Baiyun Manor to arrive.
Only by joining forces can they take down Shen Lang.
If he gets injured now and can't fight alongside Zhou Chang later, Zhou Chang might let Shen Lang escape on his own!
