Chapter 208 Like Slicing an Onion

As the white-robed figure on the awning boat stood tall, he smiled and extended his hand.

"Buzz!"

A dozen or so thin threads suddenly leaped out of the water, their surface a clear, deep blue, like celestial silk woven by a fairy maiden or a shuttle thrown by a jade maiden.

One end of the thin thread hooked onto the stone anchorage of the dock, extending for several dozen feet. This thread was as faint as cooking smoke and as light as fireflies, reflecting the shimmering water on the river surface, and was usually completely unnoticeable.

Ren Shaoyang first hid it in the river, and when the pursuers arrived, he immediately split it into two parts and pulled them up, pouring his inner strength into them.

There was a loud crash!
The two thin strands stretched taut, like two large scissors, or like two large hands suddenly closing!

Fang Yeyu suddenly felt an indescribable deathly aura surge into his heart. Startled, he abruptly looked towards the river.

But then, on more than ten small boats, the men suddenly froze. A gust of river wind blew, and everyone fell to the ground with a thud, breaking into several pieces.

Some fell into the water and sank after a few splashes, while others crawled on the boat with their intestines hanging out, their desperate cries echoing throughout the entire Ba River!

The small boat, sliced ​​cleanly by the Divine Spider Sword, resembled tofu cut with a knife. The wood creaked and cracked, but the shrill screams could not drown out the agony of the screams.

With a series of ear-piercing cracking sounds, more than ten small boats disintegrated, breaking apart like chopped onions into more than a dozen pieces.

Due to inertia, the upper and lower halves gradually shift apart, like stacks of playing cards being pushed forward.

Wow!

The small boat finally burst apart, sending up a high column of water, which contained countless severed limbs and broken pieces.

Under the firelight, the river water appeared distinctly crimson, with countless pieces of wood floating on it, creating a terrifying and extremely bloody scene!
"This, what is this?"

Chi Di and the others were devastated. Although they had also killed countless people and experienced the great battle that led to the defeat of the Mongol Yuan dynasty, they were still in a state of panic.

But to kill like this, to cut people up like vegetables, is an extremely cold-blooded and ruthless method of killing.

But it was something they had never seen or even imagined.

With a wave of his left hand, Ren Shaoyang's sleeves fluttered, and with a few hissing sounds, a dozen or so shimmering blue threads, like weary birds returning to their nests, brought up a pool of water and were all collected into his ring.

Fang Yeyu stared intently at the stone anchor on the dock, looking at the messy marks on it, and then looked up at the awning boat that had sailed away like the wind.

Ren Shaoyang's leisurely voice came from afar: "What a pity, why didn't you get on the ship?"

Fang Yeyu hated him to the bone. He roared, grabbed the spear from the ground, and hurled it.

However, the awning boat was only a few dozen feet from the dock, and the spear, after flying halfway, lost its momentum and fell into the water with a splash.

Fang Yeyu listened to their arrogant laughter and felt his body go cold and stiff, his eyes vacant.

Chi Di and the four secret masters of Qingzang were still in shock and dared not go forward to comfort Fang Yeyu, seeing his appearance.

Or perhaps they simply didn't want to offer any words of comfort.

What if Fang Yeyu is stubborn and asks them to chase after those three again?
Although Ren Shaoyang did not use any swordsmanship or internal energy in this attack, he left a deep impression on them and instilled great fear in them.

Chi Di and the others then learned why they were called the "Three Fiends".

How cruel!

The crowd stood silently for a long while.

Fang Yeyu took a deep breath, and just as he was about to speak, his vision suddenly blurred.

Li Chimei appeared before them, her face pale.

Upon recognizing the person, Fang Yeyu was shocked: "Teacher Li, you, weren't you recuperating from your injuries?"

Li Chimei slowly said, "Old Pang sent me a message saying that you might be in mortal danger and asked me to come and save you." He turned to look at the river and shook his head, saying, "Fortunately, you didn't cross the river, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to save you either."

Fang Yeyu said somewhat sadly, "It's my fault for being useless; I didn't see through their trick."

Li Chimei patted his shoulder, paused for a moment, and said sincerely, "According to you, wasn't I also tricked by them?"

Chi Di and the others quickly chimed in, saying that the three were ruthless and cunning, and that it was not their fault in battle. They told the village leader and the little demon master not to take it to heart.

Li Chimei looked at Fang Yeyu and said calmly, "Don't be discouraged! As long as we don't give up the pursuit, the three villains will never have time to heal! Once we recover, we'll wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement, and their fear dissipated considerably. They immediately turned their horses around and galloped toward the nearby town.
-
The awning boat can only seat two or three people.

Now, a donkey and a tiger that's as fat as a ball have been added.

Ren Shaoyang and the other two rowed the boat with great force. When they saw Fang Yeyu and the others finally turn their horses around, they breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the boat, panting heavily.

Ren Shaoyang and the others had exhausted themselves that day, and their energy and spirit were in a state of extreme depletion. As soon as they lay down, they all wanted to fall asleep.

But then he realized he wasn't safe yet, so he struggled to get up.

After catching his breath, Ding An pulled a small bag from his pocket and handed it over, saying, "Crippled man, see if there's any usable healing medicine inside?"

Ren Shaoyang raised an eyebrow: "Where did you get these?" As he spoke, he opened them, revealing more than a dozen bottles and jars.

Ding An laughed and said, "When I charged out from behind them, I noticed that someone was really taking good care of the bundle in their arms, so I just picked it up." He scratched his head as he spoke.

Hongxiu patted his hand: "Good hand. When I have time, I'll get you a good piece of material to make a prosthetic hand!"

Ding'an laughed heartily, overjoyed.

Ren Shaoyang rummaged through the bottles and jars, remaining silent for a long time.

After a long time, Hongxiu and her companion felt that there was still no sound, except for the occasional sound of birds taking flight or insects chirping on the shore.

Unable to contain himself any longer, Ding'an asked in a low voice, "Crippled man, is it...is it not okay?"

After a while, Ren Shaoyang pointed to the bottle labeled "I love a piece of firewood," "The harlot reveals her true face," and "Bai Jie's favorite," and sighed deeply, saying with a bitter smile, "Ding'an, you killed a lecherous thief; this is full of aphrodisiacs."

"Ah~?" Ding An looked disappointed.

Ren Shaoyang wanted to say a few words of comfort, but was hesitating about what to say.

Suddenly, the little beggar snatched the bundle, rolled it up, and threw it into the river.

"Hey~?" Ren Shaoyang and Ding An reached out at the same time.

The little beggar glanced at them sideways and sneered, "What? You want to be lecherous thieves?"

Ding An stammered, "I was just curious." Ren Shaoyang replied with a serious expression, "I was thinking of giving Old Man Pang a dose of aphrodisiac when we run into him!"

Hongxiu was stunned and asked, "Is this even possible?"

Ren Shaoyang explained, "There was a senior named Fan who was quite knowledgeable about poisons and medicine. He used aphrodisiacs to ambush a great master!"

The little beggar looked doubtful: "Really?"

"I never lie!"

"Hmph! You pass!"

After a while, the three of them lay back down on the boat and looked up at the sky.

Before their eyes lay a vast and boundless galaxy, its brilliant light flickering and changing, as if it were constantly winking at them.

Hongxiu blinked at them a few times, then said, "Crippled man, broken hand, how about we go to Dripping Cliff in this world and build another small wooden house?"

"Great!" Ding'an's eyes lit up, and he patted his belly and laughed, "Perfect for resting and recuperating."

Ren Shaoyang thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, the Demon Master Palace has a huge influence outside the pass, and most of the evil sect masters are here. It's not suitable for us to go now."

“Oh~! I understand,” Hongxiu replied softly.

Ren Shaoyang thought for a moment and said, "Let's stick to the original plan. We'll go to Huangwuli first, then turn around and go to Wuchang. We'll find a place to heal our injuries first. Once we've recovered, we can go wherever we want!"

"Okay." The little beggar nodded repeatedly.

Ren Shaoyang raised an eyebrow and said, "When we get to Wuchang, let's go eat Wuchang fish first."

"Haha!" Hongxiu raised her hands and shouted happily, "Yay!"

Ren Shaoyang shook his head helplessly.

Suddenly, Ding'an let out a scream of pain, jumped up, and spun around twice without any apparent reason.

"What's the matter?"

"What happened?"

Ren Shaoyang and Hongxiu stood up and pressed for an answer.

Ding'an stomped his foot firmly on the cabin floor, his heart pounding, and cried out with a mournful face, "It's leaking!"

"Ah!?"*2
Just then, a "gurgling" sound came from somewhere, and water started to leak in more than one place.

The cabin erupted into chaos.

"Hurry, hurry up and fetch water!"

How can you scoop water without a ladle?

Ding'an roared, "I'll burn it dry with my fire!"

"Get out of here!" Shao Yang and the little beggar shouted in unison, "Do you want to boil us all alive?"

"what is it now?"

"Let's see, see if we paddle faster or sink deeper!"
-
dawn.

Wuchang Prefecture.

The thin mist had not yet dissipated when a single light moved rapidly along the Yangtze River.

A thin boy, riding a tall horse and holding a lantern in one hand, was traveling.

Seeing smoke rising from chimneys and sails dotting the horizon, the boy scratched his head, clearly annoyed that he had gone to the wrong ferry.

He leaped off his horse, looked at the deserted ferry crossing, and sighed, "Damn it, that wicked steward will definitely make me suffer when we get back!"

At this moment, the horse affectionately nuzzled its head against his neck and licked the back of his neck with its tongue.

The boy patted the horse's mouth affectionately and said with a wry smile, "Grey, Grey, go eat grass. I'll sit by myself for a while."

The horse let out a long neigh and went to graze on the grass at the edge of the field.

The boy wandered aimlessly at the ferry crossing, seemingly worried about what was to come.

After walking quite a distance, a donkey bray suddenly came from the riverbank below.

"Bang!"

The boy was startled and shone the lantern downwards.

Then five dark heads popped up from the water with a series of splashes.

"Oh my god! It's a ghost!"

The boy was so frightened that his hair stood on end. He jumped up, dropped his lantern in a panic, and ran into the woods with his hands raised high, crying out, "Help! Don't hurt me! I'm just a lowly servant. If you want to hurt someone, hurt that wicked steward!"

Suddenly, a large, wet hand patted his shoulder.

The boy jumped three feet high, turned his head shakily, his whole body was ice cold and he was shaking uncontrollably.

Three people, soaking wet, grinned at him and said, "Hello."

The boy was terrified, but when he forced himself to continue watching despite his fear...

He saw a striped tiger shaking its body, water droplets splashing onto its face.

The boy let out a scream, his whole body convulsed, and his eyes rolled back.

Before I passed out, I vaguely heard a complaining voice: "Big Meow, you're scaring me again!"

Big Meow?

Whose tiger is called Big Meow?
How will it survive among the tigers after this? What will the tigress think of it?

The boy chuckled foolishly twice, then his head lolled to the side and he fainted.
