Great Merit Secured

Liu Jie roared, stirring up waves of water, and in an instant rushed to Liang Qu's back.

His thick forearms, veins bulging, twisted and coiled like pythons, his body radiating power like a tornado, the blade cleaving through the muddy water, pulling the surging torrent towards Liang Qu.

"Die!"

The Galloping Horse Martial Master, leading dozens of Galloping Horse.

With each strike, it was as if ten thousand horses were galloping, turning everything in their path into mud! This attack was both fast and fierce, and Liang Qu felt his Qi and Blood and qi surging behind him, layer upon layer, like a torrent pouring down, stronger than any raging storm! Ordinary Martial Master would be trapped by the water and unable to use their fists and feet, but Liu Jie's sword strikes were full of continuous, imperceptible force, as if he had merged with the river water, undisturbed by any resistance.

It was his signature move, the Wave Cutting Saber!

The broadsword flashed with light, splashing the river water in a circular motion, determined to cleave the Liang Qu in two! "A fine blade!"

Despite the menacing blade, Liang Qu neither dodged nor evaded, but turned to meet it head-on, his clothes fluttering as he clenched his five fingers together.

The invisible ripples spread out, transforming into the sharpest steel needles, piercing through Liu Jie's sword stance, which was like Water Orb, and the force flowed out in a torrent.

Without power or prestige, without strength or injury! The swirling light suddenly extinguished, and the Water Blade that splashed into circles became kites with broken strings, with only half of the kite surface flying and crashing into a corner of the pavilion.

The wood chips that flew up from the cross-section actually stayed in the water, neither floating nor sinking.

What kind of Sorcery is this?! Liu Jie's pupils constricted sharply.

All martial arts originate from oneself and influence the outside world and others. Liu Jie did not see Liang Qu make the slightest move, but in just an instant, he was unable to move.

His terrifying strength was all confined within his body, unable to be unleashed freely.

This is something that martial arts can never achieve!

Whew! Liang Qu gripped the handle of Subduing Waves Spear.

Each improvement in his martial arts training leads to an increase in his control over water flow.

Water Prison, an ability acquired from the moment of its First Fusion Marsh Ape, can significantly increase the resistance of a designated body of water, imprisoning all moving and still objects within it.

Breaking through the Blood Barrier elevates this technique to a higher level, reaching the ultimate Galloping Horse Extreme Realm where all Nine Apertures are open, making it impossible to move freely within! The only drawback is the extreme consumption of stamina, especially when imprisoning a Galloping Horse Extreme Realm Martial Master! In an instant, his stamina was released like a floodgate opening, and Liang Qu dared not be negligent in the slightest.

He spun his spear like lightning, the blade gleaming, turned, gathered his strength, and unleashed the attack in a single, fluid motion, Trapped Dragon Ascends to Heaven, the spear stirring up a deep whistling sound in the water.

Liu Jie's pupils shrank to the size of pinholes as he watched the cold light fly towards him, utterly terrified.

He tried to do something, drawing his sword to defend himself. His veins throbbed so hard they almost burst out of his body, yet his movements were still a hundred times slower than a child's! Liu Jie, Liu Yi was fighting the three beasts nearby, sensed something and turned to look. He saw his elder brother, Liu Jie, standing there dumbfounded for some reason, and then he saw Liang Qu waving his spear, about to slash at Liu Jie's head!

Not good!

Liu Yi's eyes were bloodshot and his face was flushed. Ignoring the Crab Monster's attacks, he grabbed the sharp blade in his hand and smashed it down.

Unarmed, its Fist saw an opportunity and thrust towards Liu Yi's abdomen with a pincer. After its second evolution, its giant pincers were comparable to sharp weapons!

Boom!

A torrent suddenly rose and poured out.

A deep, terrifying sound exploded underwater.

Centered on Liang and Liu, the entire pavilion was like a giant ball being forcibly stuffed inside, causing the pillars to crack and the eaves to collapse.

Tables, chairs, benches, and all sorts of miscellaneous items were scattered and broken like pieces of paper, floating and sinking in the river along the window.

Blood mist rose, enveloping the central battlefield.

Liang Qu withdrew from the blood mist circle, his arm numb from the shock, and glanced at the Broken Blade that had smashed into his spear underwater.

At the critical moment, Liu Yi swung his sword, and Liu Jie desperately parried the blow, working together to deflect Liu Yi's attack.

Yes.

The attack was only off-target, it didn't miss! Liang Qu spun his spear, the red tassel fluttering, and trickles of Blood Water escaped.

A thick forearm, along with half of an upper arm, fell out of the blood mist, leaving a long trail of blood as it fell.

Dead silence!

Everyone stood frozen in the water, their faces filled with terror.

With nothing to do at Liang Qu, there was only...

The Gang Leader's hand!

From a fisherman's boy to the Gang Leader of the largest gang in Feng Bu County, Liu Jie controlled all the fishermen in the county. He had encountered countless battles and assassinations.

His prestige and reputation were earned through countless blows and punches! In the blink of an eye, an unknown soldier severed his arm! Everyone suddenly realized that, even now, they still didn't know the name of this outrageously young official in front of them.

It's only four levels...

The core members trembled and looked at Liang Qu again, as if a thousand or ten thousand long needles were piercing every part of their bodies.

Is there really such a genius in the world?

On the other side, Liu Yi, who threw his weapon, was stabbed in the abdomen by the Crab Monster's pincers and suffered a severe injury.

A huge gash, nearly half a foot long, was pulled out in the lower abdomen, and the internal organs could be vaguely seen as the patient moved around.

As the situation worsened, Zheng Tianfu unleashed a desperate burst of power, forcing back the Crab Monster and protecting Liu Yi, who had suffered a severe abdominal injury. In the midst of this desperate struggle, he single-handedly fought against three beasts! The water currents stirred up by the entanglement danced wildly, and as the flow continued, the blood mist at the stern of the boat gradually faded, finally revealing Liu Jie's figure.

Liu Jie clutched his severed arm, his eyes bloodshot with barely any white showing. He stared intently at Liang Qu, a volcano of rage burning within him.

The excruciating pain assaulted his mind, and even though he forcibly tried to stop the bleeding by moving his muscles, thin streams of Blood Water still flowed out! How could a mere Four Gates Martial Master have driven him to this point!

Why?

With a furious roar, Liu Jie's face contorted like a ferocious demon as he unleashed another wave -Wave Cutting Saber.

"Kill them!"

At this moment, even if they were terrified, the core members of the gang were filled with fighting Blood Qi and rushed forward to fight!

When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken! Gang Leader dies, they will die too! They hid Hidden Household, controlled the ferry crossing, bribed officials, coerced tens of thousands of fishermen, and committed countless murders and injuries.

Such behavior is merely the usual conduct of the Whale Gang. As for individuals, there are even more heinous criminals who have committed numerous acts of rape, humiliation, and plunder, enough to warrant their heads being chopped off a dozen times over! Today, we are determined to drown them, or none of us will survive! Liang Qu coldly swept his gaze across the scene, silently turning his spear, the red tassel scattering like raging fire.

The gun blade slid silently across the water, washing away the remaining blood.

Even if there were twice as many people underwater, he would have no fear!

With Dragon Tendons Tiger Bones, boundless energy and limitless strength, he had already recovered most of his strength after just a short rest!

Water dragons danced wildly, spears transformed into rainbows, and red tassels trembled like fire, instantly leaving several bloody holes in a man's body.

Large plumes of blood mist rose on the Painted Boat, which even the ceaseless flow of water could not dilute.

In an instant, the entire Painted Boat was shrouded in a red mist, and even the three beasts were dizzy and disoriented, losing their initial sensitivity in both their eyes and noses.

Severed limbs flew out of the ship one after another, their Qi and Blood intertwined.

No one knew who was under their blade; they charged toward Liang Qu solely on instinct.

Only Liang Qu was able to see clearly, and his perception in the water was not affected in the slightest by the blood mist.

As his muscles and bones rubbed together and his Qi and Blood surged, he didn't use his Water Control ability at all, but only treated it as a killing field to hone his skills!

The Painted Boat was nowhere to be seen on the river, leaving only a pool of scarlet blood.

The spear struck the broadsword, causing the sharp blade to crack and split.

Liu Jie coughed up a mouthful of blood, his already ferocious expression becoming even more terrifying.

The Martial Artist's body was connected by qi and blood; with one arm severed, his sword became increasingly powerless.

However, his opponent possessed superhuman strength, and with each thrust of his spear, he was like a siege tower, leaving his sword riddled with nicks and slits.

Is the background of the Aristocratic Clan really that terrifying? Liang Qu fired shot after shot, becoming increasingly unrestrained, his Qi and Blood almost boiling.

They held Liu Jie firmly underwater, giving him no chance to breathe! "Die!"

The surging waves crashed in all directions, and the thick blood mist vibrated like a beating heart, pounding incessantly. However, at this moment, this huge heart was becoming increasingly "weak".

Liu Yi clutched his intestines, bewildered and at a loss.

Zheng Tianfu leaned against the ship's pillar. They had all been forced into a corner by the three beasts, and there was no one left among them.

They fought side by side for over twenty years, only to be defeated in an instant by a mere river official...

"Big brother..."

Bang! The broadsword, riddled with holes, broke in two.

Amidst the surging blood mist, a head with wide-open, angry eyes shot into the sky.

Liu Yi stared blankly.

Bloodshot eyes appeared instantly, filling the whites of his eyes.

The headless corpse knelt on the ground, and with a splash of water, the head floated off the boat.

It fell straight down.

Peng.

Mud and sand rose.

"Ah!!!"
