From breaking the limits of the White Ape Fist to becoming a martial arts saint.

Chapter 156 Slaughter

Three feet underwater, the light was dim.

A dark shadow glided along the riverbed like a ghost, its body enveloped in a transparent membrane that was barely visible to the naked eye.

Ahead, a highly wary white-scaled fish was foraging among the aquatic plants. This fish is extremely sensitive to changes in the water flow; even large fish would be frightened away if they approached within ten feet.

However, at this moment, Su Yu seemed to melt into the water. He didn't paddle; with only slight movements of his body, he silently glided to the side of the white-scaled fish.

Close at hand!

Until Su Yu reached out and gently flicked the fish's belly with his fingertip.

"Pop".

Startled, the white-scaled fish suddenly bristled its scales, flicked its tail, and fled in panic to the deep water.

"What a wonderful water-repellent air membrane!"

Su Yu surfaced, his eyes filled with surprise. He had just become completely familiar with how to use the water-repelling membrane, which made him feel the wonder of the Azure Wave Fish-Dragon Technique even more.

At the same time, a question arose in his mind: "This technique is so extraordinary that it seems to have exceeded the Qian family's level. Judging from the time, Qian Qinghong should be asking me for help to go to the depths of the Blackwater River. Perhaps I can find out some information then."

Su Yu swam to the shore and was preparing to start a fire to cook.

"Buzz—"

Suddenly, the ear twitched slightly.

"There's sound!"

"A kilometer away, two fast boats with a deep draft are cutting through the waves and approaching at full speed!"

Su Yu's eyes turned cold, and he slid silently into the water like a melting wax figure, lurking in the shadows of the dark bottom of the Cloud Shuttle.

Just a few breaths.

"Chirp!"

A sharp cry came from overhead; it was that persistent Azure-Scaled Sea Swallow again!

Shortly after, two black treasure ships, resembling sharks, broke through the fog and attacked Su Yu's treasure ship from the left and right, forming a pincer movement.

"Whoosh!"

With a whooshing sound, five or six agile pirates leaped onto the deck like wolves, their movements ruthless and skillful.

"Nobody's here! Check the cabins!"

"boom!"

The meticulously repaired cabin door was violently smashed open, sending splinters flying. A few moments later, several men emerged, cursing and swearing: "Boss! Nobody's here! It's empty!"

"Nobody here?"

On the bow of the ship, a tall, burly man with a sinister gaze stood. He was none other than Qin Sandao, the leader of this operation.

He glanced around, his gaze finally settling on the deserted island shrouded in thick fog. He sneered, "He can't escape. That kid must be on the island!"

"Leave two men behind to watch the boat and block their escape route!"

Qin Sandao ordered, "The rest of you, follow me to the island to search!"

"yes!"

Qin Sandao exerted force with his feet, his blood and qi erupting, and he leaped dozens of feet like a giant bird, landing steadily on the shore. The other four experts also jumped into the water and onto the island, their murderous aura surging as they disappeared into the mist.

On the two black ships, only two pirates remained on guard, yawning listlessly as they leaned against the gunwale.

They felt confident about the operation and had no sense of danger.

"Splash—"

A very faint sound of water was heard.

At the stern of the treasure ship, a dark figure quietly emerged from the water, revealing only a pair of calm and indifferent eyes.

Su Yu pressed himself against the side of the boat, his gaze sweeping over the receding figures on the shore.

"The leader has a powerful aura; judging from the fluctuations in his blood and qi just now, he's a master at the peak of the second acupoint stage. The other four are one at the first acupoint stage and three ordinary martial artists. Judging from their clear purpose, they must have come specifically to hunt me down."

He didn't act rashly just now, but first observed the strength of these people.

"With such a weak setup, it's time for the hunter and the prey to switch roles!"

Su Yu took a deep breath, gripped the gunwale with his left hand, and reached into his waist with his right hand, slipping two sharp-edged flying locust stones between his fingers.

"Testing the waters!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Two sharp, piercing sounds suddenly rang out.

The two pirates, who were leaning against the ship's side, didn't even have time to react before they saw a dark shadow flash before their eyes.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Two blood blossoms bloomed between their brows. The flying locust stone, carrying a terrifying spiraling force, pierced directly through their skulls, bringing out a clump of red and white matter from the back of their heads.

Before they could even scream, their bodies went limp and they collapsed onto the deck.

With the abundant blood and qi from Su Yu's three acupoints, coupled with the perfected coin toss technique that has the characteristic of spiral armor breaking, killing these ordinary martial artists is easier than killing a chicken.

Su Yu climbed aboard the ship, didn't even glance at the corpse, and went into the cabin to check it out.

"There's not much food or water in the cabin, so there must be a band of pirates nearby! In that case, let's kill them all to avoid having to go back and report!"

Su Yu quickly made a judgment, his eyes turned cold again, and he made his way toward the mist-shrouded island.

On the island, wisps of mist hung heavy between the treetops, reducing visibility to less than five feet.

Qin Sandao led his four men in a fan-shaped advance, while the Azure-Scaled Sea Swallow circled ahead, its emerald eyes piercing through the white mist, searching for Su Yu's whereabouts.

"Boss, this fog is too thick. If only we had a few more seagulls—" A bandit gripped his knife hilt, looking at the surrounding fog, and couldn't help but complain.

"Shut up!"

Qin Sandao barked, "These things take at least three years to tame, and each one is worth a hundred gold coins. Where would we get so many? Open your eyes wide—"

Before he could finish speaking...

A very faint groan suddenly came from the back of the group, as if something had choked him.

"Um?"

Qin Sandao suddenly turned around.

The spot was empty. Zou Ling, who had been there, was now lying limply in the grass, his neck twisted at an eerie angle, already dead.

"Zou Ling?"

Qin Sandao's expression changed drastically, and he was about to step forward to check.

"Ah, from the mist on the left, a short, shrill scream suddenly erupted, then stopped abruptly, leaving only the chilling sound of bones cracking."

"Over there! It must be that kid! Kill him!"

Qin Sandao roared and charged forward with his sword.

But when he broke through the fog and arrived at the source of the sound, he only saw a corpse with a collapsed sternum. The murderer had already disappeared, leaving only a mess of fallen leaves on the ground.

"How dare you! You actually dare to hunt us back!" Qin Sandao stopped, leaned against a big tree, and looked at them with a sinister and wary expression.

According to intelligence, Su Yu is only at the second level of the acupoint, and he is definitely no match for him in a head-on confrontation. That's why he used the fog to play tricks and launch a sneak attack.

Qin Sandao sneered inwardly, thinking he had seen through Su Yu's true nature.

But do you think you've got me cornered?

Foolish, haha!

"Chirp!"

The next moment, the Azure-Scaled Seagull overhead let out a sharp, urgent cry, folded its wings, and swooped straight towards a thick fog on its right.

"Found you!"

Qin Sandao's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he laughed wildly, "Haha, you can't escape Tan Haiyan's detection! Die!"

"boom!"

The ground beneath his feet exploded, and he shot out like an arrow.

As soon as he rushed into the fog, he saw the figure in black standing quietly under the tree.

"Go to hell!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Sandao's blood boiled, and the heavy ghost-head saber in his hand stirred up a bloody wind and waves before he slashed down fiercely!

This strike was powerful and heavy, with a roar of blood and qi, stirring up a large amount of mist, like a vicious dragon rolling, trying to split the person and the tree in front of it in two!

However, facing this fatal blow, Su Yu's expression remained as calm as a still pond.

He had been waiting for this moment.

"To reach for the stars with the reach of an ape!"

Su Yu took a step forward, and swept the Mo Yuan Blade in his hand horizontally.

This strike, seemingly slow, was actually incredibly fast. The jet-black blade drew a perfect crescent arc in the air, and in that instant, the surrounding violent winds seemed to be forcibly suppressed by some terrifying force.

"The humming sound of the blade was deep and resonant."

The thick, billowing white mist was neatly sliced ​​open from the middle by this powerful strike, revealing a vacuum passage!

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

"Pfft!"

A soft sound broke the silence.

Qin Sandao remained frozen in his slashing posture, the ferocity in his eyes still lingering, when he suddenly saw a streak of blood spurt out of his vision.

Immediately afterwards, he felt his arms lighten.

"Clatter".

The two thick arms that held the ghost-head knife were severed at the root, falling to the ground like two pieces of lotus root, with blood gushing out like a fountain.

"ah!!!"

The belated, excruciating pain instantly overwhelmed his senses. Qin Sandao let out an extremely shrill scream, staggered back, and sat down on the ground, staring in terror at the figure wielding the knife.

What kind of swordsmanship is this?

"Run! Run!"

The last remaining bandit, seeing his leader crippled in an instant, was terrified. He dared not linger, letting out a scream before turning and fleeing into the mist.

Su Yu didn't even glance at the person, and simply raised his left hand slightly.

"Bang!"

A flying stone tore through the air, pierced the mist, and struck the bandit in the back of the head with perfect accuracy.

The man's head exploded like a watermelon, and his body lurched forward a few steps before collapsing to the ground.

At this point, apart from Qin Sandao, who was lying on the ground screaming in terror, all the bandits were wiped out by Su Yu in just a few moves.
