Daily News: You promised yourself to be a fisherman, but you've become a martial arts god?

Silence, deathly silence!

Everyone stared wide-eyed, mouths agape, at the young man before them in disbelief—

Li Nian!

Just now.

After Ge Xiong demonstrated strength surpassing that of Ma Mianbiao, everyone thought that Li Nian would be instantly defeated by Ge Xiong.

however,

The ending was completely unexpected!

The battle just now was very short, less than three breaths.

In those three breaths, Ge Xiong was completely outmatched by Li Nian and had no chance to fight back. In the end, his neck was brutally torn apart, and he died on the spot!

It was definitely a one-sided victory.

but,

Ge Xiong was crushed!

Just then, a masked giant from among the bandits strode out of the crowd and shouted angrily:

"Seventh Brother!"

Having said that, his large, copper-bell-like eyes glared at Li Nian, his gaze almost bursting, his blood surging, his clothes fluttering wildly, and he roared:

"You brat, how dare you kill someone from my Shenyuan Village!"

The sound carried a hidden force, causing everyone present to feel a sharp pain in their eardrums and involuntarily cover their ears in agony.

After the sound faded, everyone looked at the masked man with surprise and suspicion.

At that moment, due to the turbulent energy generated by the masked man's surging blood, the simple cloth covering his face was blown away, revealing his distinctive, bushy beard.

Upon seeing it, everyone was taken aback.

"Overturning the river... dragon, slaughtering the mountain!"

"The Fifth Leader of Shenyuan Village!"

"Hidden...hidden power!"

Those officers and soldiers who had just rekindled their hope of survival, upon seeing Tu Yue, were as if their souls had been ripped out; their eyes were empty and lifeless, and they were utterly despondent.

"Slaughter Yue!"

Li Nian pretended to be very shocked.

Tu Yue stared coldly at Li Nian and said, word by word:

"How do you want to die!"

His relationship with Ge Xiong wasn't particularly good; it was just a typical relationship between bandits.

The reason he was so angry about Ge Xiong's death was that he was the commander-in-chief of this expedition to the island, and Ge Xiong, Ma Mianbiao, and Li Hanhai, who was sent to assassinate Yi Huan, were all his deputies.

With the deputy general dead, he, as the commander-in-chief, cannot escape blame.

Even if we eventually capture Crescent Island, this battle will not be glorious.

They might even be punished by the head of the gang.

How could I not be angry!?

Li Nian assumed the stance of the Golden Eagle Piercing the Sun Technique, ready for battle, and said:

"If we don't fight, who knows who will die!"

He couldn't guarantee that Yi Huan would come out to deal with Tu Yue right now, so he had to be cautious.

He's not foolish enough to hand his life over to someone else!

Especially the hands of people you don't know well!

If Yi Huanruo had stayed in the shadows and watched without making a move, she would have lured Tu Yue there!

With the Prajna Dragon Soaring Technique in hand, I have that much confidence!

"A mere practitioner of muscle training dares to speak so arrogantly? How utterly absurd!"

Tu Yue snorted coldly.

With a raise of his right hand, two sensible bandits behind him brought over a nine-ringed mountain-splitting axe.

Tu Yue grabbed the axe handle, swung it forward, and gave the order:

"Pockmarked Biao, take your men and kill all these scum from the Yi family!"

"I'll leave Li Nian to me!"

"I'm going to torture him properly!"

"yes!"

A hint of joy flashed in Ma Mianbiao's eyes.

With Ge Xiong dead, his position can be moved up a notch!

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Pockmarked Biao shouted to the bandits behind him:

"Brothers, follow me and chop down all the scum of the Yi family!"

"Pockmarked Biao, you shameless bastard!"

Liu Tongchong roared at the pockmarked man, saying:

"You guys promised a duel to the death, are you sore losers?!"

"Fool, we're bandits. You believe what we say?"

"Your office must have handled quite a few cases of kidnapping respectable women. Have you ever seen us take the money and not kill the hostages?"

"That's what Ma Mianbiao said mockingly."

Having said that, he suddenly strode forward and went straight for Liu Tong's head.

"Damn it! Let's go for it!"

Seeing that there was no way to escape, Liu Tong drew his steel knife from his waist and faced the enemy head-on.

"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"

Ma Mianbiao scoffed.

Wearing brass knuckles, he slammed his fist straight at the steel knife.

Whoosh!

Just as their fists and knives clashed, a figure sped towards them from the stone forest ten meters behind, moving with lightning speed.

"Um?"

Having lived a life of violence for many years, Ma Mianbiao possessed an extraordinary sense of danger, and he noticed the unusual movement out of the corner of his eye.

By the time he looked directly in the direction of the figure, the figure was already two meters in front of him, drawing a bronze sword from its waist and slashing out.

laugh!

With a crisp sound of slicing meat, Ma Mianbiao felt a chill on his neck, and his gaze tumbled and fell.

"I'm going to die..."

He suddenly realized something, and then he lost consciousness.

At the same time, Ma Mianbiao was decapitated and collapsed to the ground, spitting out blood.

He died instantly!

Beside the body of the pockmarked man, a boy with delicate features landed lightly without raising a speck of dust.

The bronze sword in the boy's hand tilted downwards, and there were no traces of blood on its simple, ancient blade.

That sword strike was too fast; it was so fast that it left no blood behind!

The battle formations that had just begun are now completely focused on the boy.

Li Nian looked at the boy, narrowed her eyes, and a glint of shrewdness flashed in them:

"Yi Huan, you're finally out!"

That's right.

The one who beheaded Ma Mianbiao was none other than Yi Huan!

He sensed it the moment Yi Huan set off.

However, Yi Huan's movements and sword techniques were beyond his expectations.

His movements were silent, his sword strikes without leaving a trace.

His footwork and swordsmanship are already at a level of perfection!

Lost in thought, Liu Tongchong and Yi Huan shouted excitedly:

"Lord Jindao!"

"Lord Jindao!"

The other people guarding the island also shouted excitedly.

Yi Huan lightly raised her left hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. Her icy eyes turned to Tu Yue, and she said:

"Tu Yue, you are a master of hidden strength, yet you led men to invade my Crescent Moon Island! Your Shenyuan Village is breaking the agreement!"

When Yi Linchuan was murdered by Shenyuan Village, the Yi family government was furious and wanted to request the local troops to suppress the attack. Fearing being caught in the crossfire, the various local powers ultimately took the lead, spearheaded by Zhang Xiaoyue, the patriarch of the Zhang family, who secretly arranged for the Yi family and Shenyuan Village to sign a treaty.

Those above the Dark Force level in Shenyuan Village are forbidden from invading the Yi Family's government office!

In the Yi family's view, this matter was due to coercion by various powerful forces, which was not honorable, so they never explained it to the outside world.

Now that Shenyuan Village has broken its promise, Yi Huan has no choice but to address it.

"Breach of contract?"

Tu Yue grinned sinisterly and said:

"I slaughtered everyone on your island, who knew we broke the agreement?"

As he spoke, Tu Yue paused, then sneered:

"Yi Huan, you're lucky, kid. You didn't cultivate in your cave, but instead hid in the stone forest like a mouse."

"That sixth brother of mine went to the cave and couldn't find anyone, he's probably furious right now."

"Fine, I'm in a bad mood right now anyway. Since he didn't assassinate you, I'll take it out on you!"

Yi Huan's eyes were like ice as she coldly looked at Tu Yue and said:

"You mean that man who talks with exaggerated gestures, whose tone is like a chatterbox, and who says 'You deserve to die' before killing someone...?"

"He did go to my cave to find me. I just escorted him to where he needed to go, and that's when I had time to come and see you."
