Becoming a saint begins with apprenticing under the last martial arts champion.

Soon, four small sails were lowered from the large ship onto the water.

The people on the ship disembarked one after another and were safely transferred.

Meanwhile, the intense gunfire attracted many other ships.

There were boats from the Grand Canal gangs, boats from the Zhang family, but most of them were fishing boats from the Wang family.

Seeing that most of the people around him were his own family, Uncle Xing's tense nerves relaxed a little.

He immediately shouted, "Get in the water!"

"Pull the body out!!"

As he spoke, his eyes burned with fervor as he looked at the otter carcass.

Monster!

Even rarer than ordinary treasure fish!

His ability to control water, which was almost supernatural, just now gives us a glimpse of his power!

This spirit is a treasure from head to toe!

If we get our hands on it, let alone the young lady breaking through to the fourth level of cultivation... even if we let any number of martial artists in the Wang family take a sip of the soup she left behind, it would be enough for them to digest!

Wang Hao was equally excited. Standing on the edge of the boat, he watched several men who were good swimmers swim toward the otter carcass. He was so excited that his body trembled.

As his older sister, Wang Fanghua must be someone he hopes will get better!

Most importantly, there's so much otter meat!

They'll definitely get a share for Changqing too...

"Changqing..." Just as Wang Hao was about to speak and make a grand promise, a sudden change occurred!

"Thump!"

Suddenly, the sail of the small boat that Lu Changqing and Wang Hao were riding was hit violently by something and began to shake violently!

At the same time, a huge hole appeared at the bottom of the ship's plank!

The flowing river water surged in instantly, submerging everyone's ankles.

The seven or eight men on the boat, including Uncle Xing, had not yet regained their footing.

Suddenly, a wrist emerged from underwater, grabbed Wang Hao's ankle, and with a forceful pull, dragged him into the river!

"what!"

Wang Hao let out a scream, and his voice turned into a "gurgling" sound.

A dark shadow dragged Wang Hao along, swimming rapidly into the distance in the river.

Its speed was so fast, it was like that of a water sprite!

Upon seeing this, Uncle Xing's eyes widened instantly.

"Young Master!"

He leaped into the air, and his elderly body flew six or seven meters away, his speed no slower than the dark shadow underwater.

But the water is not like the land.

Uncle Xing used the boat planks that were about to sink to leap a great distance.

But the second time he fell into the water, there was nothing left to hold onto, and he immediately fell into the water.

At this moment, the man next to Lu Changqing who was holding a Thompson submachine gun immediately raised his gun and pointed it at the dark figure that had already swum more than ten meters away.

Lu Changqing quickly said, "Don't shoot!"

"Otherwise, Xiao Hao will get hit first!"

Upon hearing this, the man holding the gun quickly put it down.

At the same time, several fishing boats belonging to the Wang family, which had gathered in the distance, had men jumping into the water one after another, trying to stop the dark figure.

But the shadowy figure was too agile in the water and moved too fast.

Dozens of men couldn't stop them at all.

Occasionally, a few men would encounter it, and in a single glance, bloody holes would appear on their bodies, staining the river water with blood.

Upon seeing this, Uncle Xing's eyes widened in fury, "Young Master!!!"

As the dark figure receded into the distance, Lu Changqing's eyes narrowed, and without hesitation, he jumped into the water.

It's not just because of Wang Hao!

Furthermore, the intense desire he sensed through his innate talent was also taken away by the dark figure underwater!

He had a reason to stop that dark figure!

After entering the water, Lu Changqing suppressed the abilities brought by his talent, maintaining a speed that allowed him to keep up with the shadowy figure without being left behind.

Even so, in the eyes of others, he was still like a dragon swimming in water! He chased after the shadowy figure at lightning speed!

"Changqing! Please!" Uncle Xing's voice trembled as he watched Lu Changqing brush past him.

A few dozen meters away, on Zhang's fishing boat.

Zhang Mingyuan, with his slicked-back hair and powdered face, stood at the front. His face had been gloomy because the Wang family had hunted an otter that was even more precious than the treasure fish.

But when he saw Wang Hao being kidnapped, a smile appeared on his face.

"I hope neither of them survives."

Without saying much, he simply ordered the people on the ship, "Let's go find the treasure fish!"

Seeing this, the Zhang family quickly retreated to avoid getting involved in trouble.

The other forces are much the same.

In short, there was no option to help.

The otter spirit already has a master.

But there's still the treasure fish, which hasn't shown up yet.

The key now is to compete for profit.

but...

The news of the attack on the young master of the Wang family on the water today is sure to spread...

The Wang family was a well-known and prominent family in the western part of the port city.

The eldest son was attacked... If a proper response isn't taken, both face and substance will likely be completely lost.

Once you lose face, you'll lose everything... In this chaotic era, how many hyenas will be tempted by the smell of meat and start devouring this mountain of flesh?

Soon, the boat that Wang Fanghua was on also arrived.

Seeing Uncle Xing soaking wet and looking dejected, Wang Fanghua rushed forward, her face full of anxiety: "Uncle Xing, where's Xiao Hao?"

Uncle Xing's old face was full of guilt and self-reproach. He didn't dare to look up, like a child who had done something wrong. He choked for a long time, and finally, with a sob in his voice, he said, "I'm sorry, sir!"

Seeing this, Wang Fanghua knew that the news she had heard when she arrived was true.

She shuddered. "No one's chasing after them?"

Uncle Xing opened his mouth, "Five ships went to follow..."

"Xiao Lu swam along too."

After hearing this, Wang Fanghua didn't say anything more, but a look of worry and anger flashed in her eyes.

It must have been the foreigners' doing. Even if it wasn't, some underlings were trying to curry favor with them!

If something really happens to Xiao Hao...

With so many people raised by the Wang family, if they can't fight foreigners, can't they at least fight the villains in the shadows?

Wang Fanghua clenched her small fist, a resolute look flashing in her eyes.

...

...

Lu Changqing kept up with the shadowy figure, and the distance between them didn't get too far.

After following for so long, he had tested the other party's abilities:

Even when his opponent unleashes their full power, he can keep up with their speed with ease.

At the same time, they also saw clearly what the dark figure in front of them was: it was not a water ghost or monster, but a foreigner with golden hair.

Not only that, Lu Changqing also keenly discovered...

The foreigner was pulling Wang Hao through the water, but Wang Hao did not suffocate because of being in the water; instead, he was still trying to call for help.

Although they were some distance apart, Lu Changqing could vaguely sense a force enveloping Wang Hao's body, resisting the water flow.

What kind of trick is this from the foreigners?

Could it be that they also possess extraordinary abilities similar to mine?

Lu Changqing couldn't understand it.

But one thing is certain...

The thing that the foreigner in front is clutching in his arms is something he just dug out of the otter!

A vibrant heart!

Even after leaving its owner, it still exudes a strong and powerful vitality, making Lu Changqing's longing even stronger.

After swimming for about ten minutes, there were no more fishing boats in sight, and no more onlookers.

Lu Changqing could no longer suppress his desire, and his talent [Swimming] immediately erupted!

He charged straight at the foreigner's back like a torpedo!

He needs to save Wang Hao...

He wants to take every last bit of the otter's essence!
