I relied on leveling up to achieve a comeback.

This is bullying.

But Xu Hao still clasped his hands in agreement.

Now is not the time to overturn the table.

"Okay, let's go!" With Liu Ming's command, the large ship slowly started and then sailed to the designated area.

You are now free to move around!

The others immediately cheered.

Night fell quickly.

The large ship has officially set sail.

They patrol each location like clockwork, arriving at each location at a set time.

Xu Hao knew there would be drawbacks to this, but he had no choice. He was a nobody, and no one listened to him because he wasn't the captain.

Moreover, the captain is a red name (indicating a negative reputation), and he fears that reminding him might force Liu Ming to rebel.

Killing a level two broken one would be easy, but he was afraid of provoking Liu Ming's forces to launch an attack prematurely. If that happened, how would he then kill the treasure fish collected by the Cui family?

Everything is as usual.

Xu Hao pretended not to see it.

At night, he would stand on the deck of the large ship, looking out over the surrounding waters.

After getting a little bored, he simply took out his fishing rod and started fishing in the wild.

The tedious time seemed to pass by a little faster.

In a room in the ship's cabin, Liu Ming was sitting knee-to-knee with two martial artists.

"It seems the Cui family doesn't trust us, they've actually sent a few outsiders!" a martial artist in blue robes said, a sinister look on his face.

"How about we do it the same way as last time?" another white-clad martial artist spoke up, accompanied by a throat-slitting gesture.

"This won't do. If we lose a few more, our suspicions will only grow stronger!" said the blue-robed warrior who had spoken earlier. "Every time it's just the three of us coming back alive, anyone would think that's not quite right."

"That's easy. This time, let the eldest brother go back alone. We'll go into hiding like the second brother and wait for our chance. That way, we can clear our names and frame the Longevity Sect." The white-robed warrior said viciously.

"It's still too risky!" The warrior in blue pondered for a moment, then turned to Liu Ming, who hadn't spoken, and asked, "Boss, what do you suggest? We'll listen to you!"

"Fortune favors the bold. We had our second brother go undercover so that no one would know we were wanted. But we haven't earned enough money yet, so we have no choice but to resort to this!" Liu Ming considered for a moment, gritted her teeth, and made her decision.

There were four of them in total; they were the four blood-clad brothers, feared on the wanted list.

"Dry" refers to burning, killing, and looting.

By chance, they rescued a member of the Cui family and were subsequently placed in this fishpond.

But dogs can't be expected to eat shit.

Having eaten lavish meals and made quick money, getting them to settle down and make small profits is harder than killing them.

"The famous backwater bay is just ahead. I'll leave that new pretty boy to him then!" Wang Li, the white-clad martial artist, licked his lips as he thought of Xu Hao's appearance, looking greedy.

"Don't be careless. That kid comes from Brother Qinghe's Chen Family Martial Arts School and practices the superior-grade Fierce Tiger Fist," Liu Ming reminded him.

"Don't worry, he's just a lowly first-level martial artist. Leave it to me. Boss, keep an eye on that second-level martial artist!" Wang Li, the white-robed martial artist, said confidently.

"rest assured!"

While Liu Ming and the other two were discussing their plan, three martial artists were also having a discussion in another room on the ship.

One of them, Tang Shun, asked, "Do you think Liu Ming and her group were the ones who ultimately harmed the Cui family?"

"It seems so to me, otherwise why would they have been ambushed several times during their patrols, and yet all three of them had survived?"

"But we can't wrongly accuse an innocent person, after all, the Longevity Cult is indeed after the Cui family!"

Qin Hu, the leader and a second-stage martial artist, pondered for a moment before speaking, "Let's observe for now. If it really is them, they will definitely make a move this time, and we can subdue them then!"

"Should we notify the guy on guard outside? If we get him involved, we might be able to win four against three!"

"I'm not so sure. With so many people around, who knows if he's in cahoots with Liu Ming and the other two? If we're exposed prematurely, our plan will fall apart!"

"That's settled then. We can handle Liu Ming and the other two; let's not trouble that kid!"

"Okay!" The group exchanged glances, nodded, and then lay back in the cabin, closing their eyes to rest.

Just then, with a loud bang, the entire ship shuddered.

"What's going on?" The group immediately turned over and rushed out of the cabin.

When the group came out, Liu Ming and her two companions also went up to the deck.

Both groups of people turned their attention to Xu Hao, who was on duty.

"It looks like we've hit a reef!" Xu Hao came to the side of the boat and looked at a reef in front of him.

"How is that possible? The course was all planned out, how could it have run aground?" Tang Shun asked in disbelief.

He immediately ran to the gunwale, looked at the dark rocks underwater, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Then he looked at Xu Hao and asked, "How do you control the ship?"

"This is the route, following the current, I haven't changed it!" Xu Hao helplessly spread his hands and took out the route map.

boom.

In that instant, Liu Ming made the first move.

He struck Qin Hu, who was also at the second level of cultivation, with a straight palm strike.

The warrior in blue attacked another person almost simultaneously.

As for the white-clad martial artist Wang Li, he grinned and pounced towards the direction where Tang Shun and Xu Hao were.

"You dare to rebel?" Tang Shun was furious.

They had only speculated before, but now it's completely confirmed.

"Heh heh heh, so what if you know?" the white-robed warrior Wang Li sneered. "You're all lambs to the slaughter!"

"Hmph, you think we weren't on guard?" Qin Hu seemed to have been prepared, and the moment Liu Ming made her move, he raised his arm and threw a punch.

There was no yielding; it was a head-on collision.

"Be on guard! None of you are leaving here today!" Liu Ming shouted, attacking Qin Hu while also yelling towards the water, "Second brother, stop being so mysterious! Let's finish this quickly, we still need to plan the battle later!"

boom.

The moment Liu Ming finished speaking, a splash erupted underwater, and then a burly man burst out of the water. After a few scrambles, he leaped from the gunwale and pounced on Xu Hao, who was closest to the water's surface.

Qin Hu and the others were astonished by this scene.

They could all sense that the one who had been attacked was a second-stage martial artist.

Only a second-stage martial artist with extremely strong endurance can hide in water during the coldest winter months without suffering any damage.

Two are at the second breakthrough level, two are at the first breakthrough level, and they only have one at the second breakthrough level. Even if we include the newly arrived Xu Hao, there are only three at the first breakthrough level.

The strength is completely mismatched!

"Second brother, that pale-faced kid is mine!" Wang Li, the white-clad martial artist, shouted as he saw his second brother rush towards Xu Hao, who was closest to him. "Don't hurt him, or I won't be able to play properly."

Upon hearing this, the second brother of the four brothers in blood-stained clothes immediately used the momentum to abandon Xu Hao and pounce straight at Tang Shun.

boom.

A major battle has begun.

Apart from Qin Hu, who was still able to hold on, the other two were completely at a disadvantage.

Tang Shun, in particular, was attacked by a second-level martial artist, and every blow caused him to vomit blood.

They are no match for them at all.

Meanwhile, on Xu Hao's side, the white-robed martial artist Wang Li had a lewd look on his face. He licked his lips and said, "Hehehe, now give up resisting and serve me well, and maybe I'll be kind enough to leave you with a whole corpse!"
