Chapter 126 Killing
"It's him?"

"The fisherman of Dongting Lake!?"

Upon seeing the old man in a straw raincoat and bamboo hat on the awning boat, the stewards of the Goldfish Gang looked horrified, and the surrounding fishermen also stopped what they were doing, filled with surprise and doubt.

The Old Fisherman of Dongting Lake!

This is an ancient legend about Dongting Lake. It is said that there was a wise man in the lake named Fisherman, who was elusive and unpredictable, but he was always ready to help the weak and fight against injustice. He often took in the evil fish gangs, rescued the suffering people, and even took in young fishermen as his apprentices.

Such a legend was originally something that was heard but forgotten, and few people took it seriously.

However, since two incidents involving the "fisherman" occurred on Dongting Lake ten years ago—first attacking a pleasure boat belonging to a high-ranking official, and then killing dozens of members of the Goldfish Gang—the rumors have gained some credibility.

Half a month ago, the old fisherman reappeared, not only rescuing some young fishermen who were bullied and killed by the fishing gangs, but also running rampant in the five prefectures of Dongting, committing many shocking crimes, and even destroying several gangs and the powerful families behind them.

From then on, the name of the Dongting Fisherman became a nightmare in the hearts of various factions, families, and clans.

The Goldfish Gang was no exception. Although they were not wiped out, they were extremely wary of this mysterious old fisherman. Over the years, they had kept their distance from some of the old fishermen on the lake without leaving a trace, and dared not provoke them.

But now, it seems they can't avoid it!
……

"The dragon carp is born, and the winds and clouds gather!"

"This Goldfish Gang is also domineering, daring to monopolize this area of ​​water and forcibly exploit the surrounding fishermen, causing such deaths and injuries."

"Is there really no one who can subdue a mere gang of martial arts practitioners?"

The surrounding waters were teeming with boats, and there was even a luxurious art gallery inside, where not only was there singing and dancing, but it was also filled with martial arts figures. Some young men and women who were just starting out in their careers were even pointing out the large ship of the Goldfish Gang in the distance.

"Just a mere gang of outlaws?"

"It's not just some small gang."

"There's an immortal behind the Goldfish Gang, an immortal with considerable strength!"

"Luo Baijun, the leader of the Goldfish Gang, is the grand-disciple of that immortal. Although he lacked the talent to embark on the path of immortality, he still mastered the Qi under the guidance of that immortal and became a top expert in the martial arts world."

"With such a background, it is only natural that the Goldfish Gang would monopolize a body of water."

"Not to mention ordinary noble families, even the imperial court has no objection to this."

"Immortal, Immortal..."

Some seasoned figures in the martial arts world muttered to themselves, their expressions revealing a mixture of loneliness and longing.

Because of the matter of immortal destiny, although the mortal world and the cultivation world are not separated, there is still a great chasm standing in front of countless people. That feeling of being able to look forward to something but not be able to reach it makes people feel even more desperate and painful.

"Fairy?"

"what!"

A woman in red sat by the window, watching the martial arts figures whispering among themselves on the pleasure boat. Her eyes revealed a hint of disdain and self-mockery: "How pathetic to be like a frog in a well, looking at the sky from the bottom of a well."

Having said that, he drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

Beside her stood another girl in white, who chuckled softly upon hearing her words: "These mortals know nothing of the cultivation world, so naturally they speak nonsense about immortals. Sister, you need not take it to heart."

The woman in red remained silent, turning her gaze to the window before raising a delicate eyebrow: "This is...?"

Seeing this, the girl in white also looked over and, with her excellent eyesight, saw that a standoff had occurred beneath the Goldfish Gang's large ship in the distance.

"Look!"

"what is that?"

"Is someone causing trouble with the Goldfish Gang?"

"Who dares to be so bold?"

Not only the two of them, but also some martial arts practitioners noticed the situation and immediately shouted out, attracting everyone's attention.

The group rushed to the side of the boat and looked out. They saw that the Goldfish Gang's deacons and members were frozen in place, not daring to make the slightest move.

On the approaching awning boat, an old man wearing a straw raincoat and hat didn't say much to them, only uttering one sentence: "Accomplices to tyranny, greedily taking human lives—they deserve to die!"

After saying that, without any visible movement from him, several Goldfish Gang stewards who had mastered true qi felt dizzy and disoriented. In their astonishment, they saw several headless bodies standing on the sampan, both familiar and unfamiliar.

"That is……"

"puff!!!"

Before my thoughts could settle, I was swallowed by darkness, accompanied by the sound of blood splattering.

Several headless corpses collapsed and tumbled into the icy lake water. The Goldfish Gang members and fishermen of Dongting Lake were awakened and scattered like birds and beasts. They paddled their sampans and fled in all directions. Some even plunged into the water and disappeared without a trace.

The fisherman ignored him, and with a slight movement, he appeared on the deck of the large ship in the next instant.

"You all know what kind of lowly people they are. If you let them cheat and shirk their duties just because they complain a few times, what will become of my Goldfish Gang? Tonight, I, the young master, will personally oversee the operation. I want to see who dares to..."

Luo Qianlang led the group out of the cabin, but before he could finish speaking, he was startled by the unfamiliar figure in front of him. After seeing that it was an old fisherman in a straw raincoat and hat, he came to his senses and angrily cursed, "Who put this old fellow on the boat?"

"this……?"

The Goldfish Gang martial artists around him exchanged bewildered glances, their expressions revealing shock and even fear: "No, he is..."

"puff!!!"

Before he could finish speaking, a muffled thud was heard, and blood splattered everywhere. Luo Qianlang's head drooped in shock as he saw blood gushing out of his body, instantly splitting him into several pieces.

"How could this be!?"

A sense of shock and doubt washed over him as his head fell, shattering instantly.

"Little Lord!!!"

Upon seeing this, the martial artists snapped out of their daze. Looking at the severed limbs and the bewildered, frozen head on the ground, they finally realized what was happening and rushed towards the surrounding area without thinking.

However, as soon as they moved, pain came, blood splattered, and corpses were separated.

"hiss!!!"

The sight caused onlookers to gasp in shock, and the martial arts practitioners were utterly speechless.

"What kind of martial arts is this?"

"Kill alive, leave a sound! Kill alive, leave a sound!" "Does such a unique skill truly exist in the martial arts world?"

"It's fishing line, it's fishing line! He used fishing line to cut these people's bodies to pieces!"

"His speed is so fast that even we bystanders can't catch a glimpse of his movements?"

"Wearing a straw hat and raincoat, with white hair and green bamboo, could this man be the old fisherman of Dongting Lake who has recently committed many serious crimes in the Five Prefectures?"

"The Dongting Fisherman, who wiped out the Flying Fish Gang, the Iron Hand Gang, the Wang family of Yueyang, the Sun family of Jinhua, and the Liu family of Yunlai in half a month?"

"It was this person..."

The onlookers gasped in surprise.

"You brat!!!"

At the same time, on the Golden Fish Ship, a figure carrying powerful internal energy broke through the cabin and came to the deck. In the midst of the battlefield, seeing the shattered corpses all over the ground and Luo Qianlang's head, he immediately let out a shrill cry, like a tiger that had lost its cub.

It was none other than Luo Baijun, the leader of the Goldfish Gang and a martial artist of the Gangyuan realm.

Luo Baijun grabbed Luo Qianlang's head, then looked at the man in front of him with bloodshot eyes and hatred: "You dare to kill my son, you dare to kill my son!?"

His words were filled with boundless hatred.

As a martial artist specializing in the Gangyuan realm, he had more than one son, Luo Qianlang, but he doted on this spoiled and dissolute Luo Qianlang above all else.

Why?

Among his many offspring, only Luo Qianlang possessed spiritual roots, making him and the Luo family the only hope to escape the mortal world and enter the cultivation realm.

But now, that hope has been shattered, cruelly destroyed by others.

How could he not hate that?

"Come die!!!"

Luo Baijun roared, his martial arts essence was suddenly activated, and several spiritual lights flashed, forming a protective barrier around him, like a golden bell protecting his body, armor covering him, full of primordial energy.

Talisman!

Just as the rumors in the martial arts world say, there is an immortal behind the Goldfish Gang, and a powerful one at that. Although he was limited by his spiritual roots and was not brought into the immortal sect, he did bestow some immortal talismans upon his grand-disciple.

He then decisively used these talismans.

He clearly knew that the other party was capable of dominating the five prefectures of Dongting Lake and annihilating several major gangs and their powerful families within half a month, so his strength must be extraordinary, and he might even have some "divine favor" at his disposal.

The divine affinity is extraordinary and beyond human power to resist; only an equal "divine talisman" can withstand it!
Therefore, he decisively used these treasured talismans.

however……

The hunched old man remained silent, only pointing the green bamboo in his hand forward.

"puff!!!"

With a soft sound, like a bubble bursting, the talisman drawn by the cultivator's magic power was pierced directly by the tip of the green bamboo pole. No matter what golden bell or armor, it was all penetrated by the slender pole tip. The magic power and spiritual light could not withstand the dragon and tiger energy.

Luo Baijun's body trembled, and he lowered his head in disbelief. He saw a bamboo stalk, about the thickness of a baby's little finger and seemingly very delicate, piercing through his heart and lifeline.

Not only were the talismans useless, like bubbles bursting, but his painstakingly refined martial arts aura was also as thin as paper, pierced through by the bamboo.

This outcome was infuriating, and Luo Baijun struggled to lift his head, staring intently at the person before him: "You, no, are...!"

"puff!!!"

Each word was etched into his very being, but his opponent paid no heed. With a snap of his bamboo fishing rod, blood gushed forth, piercing his heart and body in an instant.

"boom!!!"

Luo Baijun's body tumbled over and he fell heavily to the ground.

"hiss!!!"

Upon seeing this, those around gasped in surprise, adding to the chill of the autumn night on Dongting Lake.

"Luo Baijun!"

"A single move to instantly kill a powerful cultivator?"

"Not only did he use Gang Yuan, but Luo Baijun also used several immortal talismans. Even so, he still couldn't stop the green bamboo pole in his hand?"

"Could this person... have cultivated true essence?"

"Establishing the foundation with true essence, entering the Dao through martial arts?"

"How is that possible!?"

"Could he also be an immortal?"

"The birth of this nine-star dragon carp has attracted such a person."

"The fisherman of Dongting Lake!?"

Those around were buzzing with discussion, their astonishment palpable.

Just then, a beam of light pierced the night sky, like a shooting star, heading straight for the fisherman on the deck of the large ship.

Shen He remained calm, simply raising the bamboo pole and thrusting it out like a spear or sword, directly colliding with the spiritual light.

"boom!!!"

The two sides clashed with a loud, resounding crash, and a swirling light returned, revealing a figure—a young man in white robes—standing atop a fiery red flying sword, looking down at the person below with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

"This……"

"Flying sword?"

"An immortal! It's an immortal!"

"A sword immortal has descended to earth!"

Upon seeing this, the crowd gasped in surprise, igniting an uproar that spread far and wide.
