Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World-Chapter 39 - 36: You, a Mingjin master, insist on calling yourself an ordinary fisherman?

Chen Yi quickly shoved the pronged end through the back of Li Baitiao's throat, piercing out through the front.

As Chen Yi lifted Li Baitiao with the prong still in him, blood began pooling from his throat.

Li Baitiao, still conscious, looked at Chen Yi with disbelief, realizing the strength leaving his body.

I'm... I'm dying?

Killed by the fisherman I bargained with earlier?

If only... I hadn't exposed him....

Upon seeing this, the two powerful members of the Fish and Dragon Gang were taken aback.

What kind of fisherman is this, so ruthless?!

With such a stab, he must've trained for ten years in fish-spearing, right?!

Li Baitiao is a skilled combatant, it's unbelievable that he was killed so easily by an ordinary person.

Generally, a Mingjin warrior in cowhide possesses superior physical strength and reactions compared to a regular person,

However, Li Baitiao was skilled in saber techniques, his cowhide was only formed on his upper limbs. Focused on escaping in the water, with his senses limited, it was possible he could be ambushed and killed by an ordinary person.

So the two were only shocked by the brutality of the fisherman.

"You two masters, as you can see, I'm not his ally. I've killed him for you. You can take him now. Can we part ways now?"

Chen Yi still kept his naive fisherman facade,

But at this moment, the two men were looking at Chen Yi with fright,

But that was it.

Killing Li Baitiao with a single thrust, it's obvious that they weren't partners. Could he really be just a simple fisherman here?

Then, Stone Skin Hall Master Wang Meng seems to realize something:

"Wait a minute! Who told you to kill him?! We still need to get something from him! Now that he's dead, what happens to the stuff?"

Chen Yi was rendered speechless. I've done all this, what more do you want?

"Hall Master, I've read a drama before, similar to this.

Do you think they're playing a trick? A trick where Li Baitiao knew he couldn't escape, so he handed the key information to this kid, then gave his life to this kid to clear his status, letting us lower our guard,

Now, with his death, our leads are cut off, but the real ancestral fish bait is in the hands of his accomplice?"

At this time, the underwater expert stepped forward with a look of "I've seen through you," agreeing with Wang Meng.

"Wow, Xiao Wu, you're quite clever! Didn't waste time reading those novels. And now that you mention it, that could be possible!"

Wang Meng lauded Xiao Wu with a laugh, but then he looked at Chen Yi getting serious:

"Kid, you heard us too. I don't care whether he dies or not, but our mission this time is to get hold of something.

To clear my status, we must first search you, not only your body and your boat, but also this reed marsh. They're all suspicious!

If not, why would Li Baitiao escape towards this direction instead of others?"

Saying this, he made his way towards Chen Yi's boat, looking at Chen Yi in a playful manner, as if he had Chen Yi all figured out.

Good. Xiao Wu is still smart. If he can kill this man and retrieve the bait, it would be a great accomplishment.

Even if he doesn't find the bait, he can still bring back two heads and claim that they were colluding, that they had planned an escape route. If he kills these two important figures, he will likely avoid punishment.

The underwater expert Xiao Wu, seeing the Hall Master's decisive stance, also understood his intentions. With Li Baitiao dead, they must deal with Chen Yi, or else it will be difficult to justify their actions in the end.

So he also began to advance towards Chen Yi underwater.

At this point, Chen Yi could totally run away, but behind him are his half a year's efforts, and the crops, oil, and firewood essential for his family's livelihood.

Judging from the two men's actions, they're certainly not letting this reed marsh go.

Chen Yi sighed, gently placed the fishing spear and Li Baitiao onto the boat, and laughingly said:

"Masters, go ahead with your search. There's nothing on my boat. I haven't even caught a single fish today."

Chen Yi laid down his spear, standing there empty-handed with an innocent look on his face.

An idiot, doesn't even realize he's going to die soon. Won't two punches from the big guy kill him?

Xiao Wu chuckled as he continued to slide underwater towards Chen Yi.

Wang Meng silently moved closer to Chen Yi's boat, rowing his paddle,

And just as he was less than two meters away from Chen Yi, he suddenly roared:

"Die!"

With a jump, he ascended from the boat, flying towards Chen Yi like a giant bird!

The boat behind him wobbled ceaselessly. The fists of the Stone Skin Martial Artist were high in the air, covered in gray, evidently, his Vitality and Blood drove to the extreme. His fists were wrapped in stone skin, the muscles were bulging, on the brink of explosion.

If one were to be hit by this punch, the force would be about 600 to 700 pounds, enough to shatter the bones of any ordinary person!

The Hall Master wasn't foolish. Regardless of whether his opponent was a real fisherman or not, he was determined to give his all when he attacked.

However, just as he was confident about landing a successful hit on the unprepared opponent,

Poof!

He was met with a handful of lime powder in the face!

"Child's play!"

The Stone Skin Martial Artist closed his eyes, casually throwing a few punches in front of him, and the lime powder was scattered.

How could such child's play disturb me?

However,

Just as he closed his eyes, Chen Yi moved.

As soon as he prepared the lime powder, he had already planned his next moves.

When facing another Stone Skin expert like himself, Chen Yi didn't underestimate his opponent. In identical realms, life and death were merely a moment's difference.

When his opponent drew near, Chen Yi was already prepared. His Vitality and Blood had begun to surge,

Although he was standing still, his whole body's Vajra Sutra was operating at full speed. Apart from his exposed face and hands, his skin had quietly turned into gray stone skin.

Seeing his opponent closing his eyes to brush off the lime powder,

Chen Yi suddenly leapt up, launching himself like a venomous snake attacking its prey.

In a split second, he shot upward into the sky,

Launching an Iron Leg Whip technique in mid-air!

Before Wang Meng could open his eyes, a strong gust of wind rushed towards his face.

Damn! His opponent is a master on par with me!

Years of combat experience allowed him to instantly judge the situation.

He hurriedly opened his eyes and swiftly changed his move to block.

Bang!!

Chen Yi's foot made a solid hit on Wang Meng's left upper arm,

With a crack, the sound of a breaking bone echoed,

Wang Meng felt as if he had been hit by a rampaging bull, a pain surged from his left arm,

He was kicked from the sky directly into the water, like a chick hit by a stone.

He was stunned by the kick:

"Damn it, you, a mid-stage Mingjin master, posed as an ordinary fisherman?!"

"No respect for the warrior's code!"
