On a deserted island in the Whale Realm cave heaven, several figures darted past one another as Qi Refining rogue cultivators fought for their lives.
Suddenly, a figure came treading over the waves from afar, joining the battle with astonishing speed.
Like a sharp knife, he plunged into the bandits' heart. Several tried to intercept him, only to be sent flying with a single punch each.
Their leader's face drained of color. The newcomer was coming straight for him.
"You filthy bastard, die!"
The oncoming wind of the punch forced his eyes into a squint. By the time he recovered his senses, his face had burst open, and his entire body flew backward like a kite with its string cut.
"Who are you?"
The other bandits cried out in alarm.
"Zhou Du! The fish that slipped through your net the last time you murdered people for their treasures!"
"Huh? You! The fellow who escaped back then!"
As the dust settled, Zhou Du's figure emerged before them.
"Wonderful! A Qi Refining peak expert! Everyone, attack together!"
"We'll make sure these villains never leave alive!"
"Damn it..."
With Zhou Du joining the fight, the situation reversed in an instant. The victims soon routed their enemies, killing several of the bandits in succession.
Zhou Du fixed his sights on the leader and the enemies who had been present that day.
Relying on the sharpness of their stolen magical artifacts and treasure swords, they fought their way left and right, nearly breaking out several times. Yet before they could flee more than a hundred yards, Zhou Du caught up and dragged them back into a bitter struggle.
With the others' help, Zhou Du finally knocked the treasure sword from the leader's hand and drove an inch-long Jujube-Pit Nail into his heart, killing him on
