Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World-Chapter 30 - 27: You Won’t Take Responsibility After the Kiss?

Li Baitiao had bet their ancestral treasure and his own life on this, thinking everything would go smoothly, even managing to present a colossal eight-legged creature.

However, he was clueless as to why everything had failed at the last moment.

Li Baitiao found it hard to accept,

yet having run a fish shop for half his life, he knew that at this destiny-deciding moment, it wasn't time for regret or reflection,

but...

"Brother Niu Biao, it's no use crying over spilt milk now. What we need to do is quickly find a way to get through this crisis!"

"Get through a crisis?! Can we even get through it now?!"

Third Brother, Niu Biao getting a little agitated:

"Now everyone saw me run onto your boat before the incident, and a few of them didn't die, so naturally, they would know something was off with the decoction I had given them.

Plus, the piece of flesh you gave me was attached to the Dragon Bone,

they're still alive, neither of us can escape now!"

"No, you should escape, and I'll cover for you here.

Brother Biao, think about it, apart from you, nobody knows how the meat came about, right?"

Li Baitiao, staring straight into Third Brother's eyes, asked.

"Of course, only we know about this matter!" Third Brother answered.

Upon hearing this, Li Baitiao felt a sense of relief. I can rest assured then.

"Brother Biao, now that we've reached this stage, there's only one way out left for us!"

"What way out?" Third Brother perked up.

"You should jump off the boat and escape right now. I'll cover for you here.

Once you are safe, I'll find a way to get you back, then you can hide for about half a month. After we succeed, I will bring you back to our gang!

How does that sound?"

Upon hearing this, Third Brother felt very conflicted. He had studied martial arts for several years and was about to get Senior Brother and Second Sister killed to become the senior brother himself,

but now, he was reduced to this fugitive status.

But after giving it some thought, he realized that this was the only way,

as long as Li Baitiao hadn't personally doctored the decoction or planted bait to attract the Giant Beast. As long as he wasn't caught, Li Baitiao would be safe,

and as he held evidence against Li Baitiao, if he could survive and climb to a higher position, he would surely live a good life in the future.

Having thought this through, Third Brother nodded heavily:

"Alright then, Brother Baitiao, you must remember to come back for me." ƒгeewebnovёl.com

"Rest assured, when the time comes, you can just rush to the deck and jump into the water."

"Alright."

Third Brother knew he had to act fast before Senior Brother and the gang leader boarded the boat, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to escape.

Understanding this,

Third Brother dashed from the cabin to the deck, ready to charge towards an area with fewer people and lower boats,

suddenly,

a loud shout rang out from behind him:

"Where do you think you're going, traitor?!"

"Stop him, he hurt the junior gang leader, he's a traitor from the Iron Fist Martial Hall, we can't let him escape?!!!"

Upon hearing this, a few members of the Fish and Dragon Gang quickly surrounded him.

Third Brother was utterly bewildered when he heard this. Recognizing the voice, he realized it was Li Baitiao, who had just been conspiring with him!

Third Brother Niu Biao sneaked a glance back, trying to figure out what trick Brother Baitiao was pulling. Was he planning to reveal his identity in public to give himself a good guy image?

But turning his head around, his soul nearly flew out of his body,

he saw his good Brother Baitiao, currently holding a long blade, his foot on a step as if flying in the air, slashing towards him!

He can even release Mingjin?!

This was Niu Biao's first thought,

Damn it, the blade is too fast, I can't block it!

This was his second thought,

Brother Baitiao, are you for real? So you've been deceiving me all along, ah ah ah!!

This was his last thought before his death.

Splatter!

Li Baitiao lifted his hand and brought down his blade,

A decapitated head rolled on the ground, its eyes wide open in disbelief, while blood gushed out from its severed neck like a fountain.

This scene startled the members of the Fish and Dragon Gang who surrounded them.

"No need to panic," he said. "This third Brother of Iron Fist Martial Hall turned out to be a traitor. He secretly drugged his fellow disciples and somehow lured the lake monster here,

Intending to harm our deputy gang leader!

Thankfully, our deputy gang leader, with his impressive skills, managed to chase the water monster away and save a few people from the martial arts school,

Once the traitor noticed things were going south, he realized he wouldn't survive if the Deputy Gang Leader and others got to the big boat,

That's when he made a desperate attempt to seize the route and jump onto the ship,

To prevent him from escaping, I had no choice but to slay him,

Do you all understand the sequence of events now?!"

"Understood!" "So that's what happened! Captain Baitiao was righteous!" "Captain Li's skills and discernment are impressive!"

"Thanks to the captain!"

Everyone on this boat were members of his Li Baitiao's fishing squad. As their captain, naturally, what he says goes.

As for why the Third Brother looked so surprised when he was struck by the blade and didn't attempt to block it,

No one paid any mind to such minor details.

...

Elsewhere, the deputy gang leader, stood on half of the wooden boat wreckage with a serious expression,

And with the eldest brother,

Yun Hu, on his own, held onto a plank, helplessly drifting along like a dead dog,

Chen Yi helped Qi Ying onto a piece of wreckage to sit, then found a piece of wood for himself as they waited for the large boat to come and rescue them.

"Senior sister, about what just happened, please don't tell anyone about it."

Qi Ying's face turns red: "What happened just now? Junior brother, we were just aiding each other in a moment of crisis, you shouldn't overthink."

Uh, as long as you're not overthinking, it's okay. Although that's not what I meant, mutual aid is fine too, as long as I can remain inconspicuous.

"Alright, senior sister, as you said, what just happened was plain camaraderie between fellow disciples, nothing more."

Huh? That's something one would expect a girl to say, what do you mean?

You're going to kiss and run?!

Humph!

Qi Ying gave him a glare, turned her head to the side, and didn't say a word.

Originally, she wanted to ask if Chen Yi was interested in learning her family's leg technique. Now, humph!

Chen Yi was puzzled by her glare, but regardless, it's all good as long as his abilities are not exposed.

The external danger has not yet been eliminated, at least two traitors are on the boat on the other side, and he stirred up such a big fuss,

He absolutely mustn't be noticed.

Moreover, the Third Brother and Li Baitiao have to die!

I don't care who you're scheming against, but since you've involved me, this is unacceptable.

Meanwhile, Yun Hu watched the two of them speaking about mutual rescue, his expression quite intriguing:

If it's just friendly rescue, then why didn't you give me a breath of air underwater earlier?

Yun Hu touched his aching butt that was kicked, his face full of resentment.

...

Not long after, the commotion on the big ship subsided, and they came toward them.

The deputy gang leader was the first to jump onto the big ship,

The dispirited senior brother then called Yun Hu to help drag the bodies of martial school disciples onto the ship,

As an inconspicuous person, Chen Yi, Qi Ying's follower, also quietly got on.

After boarding the ship, the senior brother hadn't even had the chance to find the Third Brother Niu Biao to avenge,

When Niu Biao's body was already presented to them:

"Deputy gang leader, Senior Brother Shi Lei, this traitor just tried to escape, I and some fishing squad members managed to kill him together, please verify it!"
