Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

A long sword, two meteor hammers, and a mountain-splitting axe.

The four of them exerted their strength together, and the aura of innate masters emanating from them almost burst forth.

How could mere ship planks withstand such devastation?

In no time, they had taken it apart and left it in pieces.

The cabin was flooded first, and then the entire hull showed signs of cracking.

"These lunatics?"

Murong Yao clearly guessed what these people wanted to do.

It was precisely because she had guessed it that she found it even more unbelievable. To complete their mission, these assassins completely disregarded their own safety.

Little did she know, these assassins had been given a death sentence from the start.

With things escalating this much, death is necessary to sever all the leads.

So their mission was to do whatever it took, regardless of whether the suicide would ultimately succeed?

None of them can survive.

They sensed that a master-level expert was secretly protecting Li Changqing.

They made a quick decision and chose the method most likely to complete the task.

Li Changqing didn't take it seriously.

Since he can't drive a boat anyway, it doesn't really matter whether the boat is broken or not.

All he needs to do is take Murong Yao and leave this place safely.

Just as Li Changqing reached out to grab Murong Yao, Murong Yao suddenly turned around and threw him a wooden bucket.

"Your Highness, may the gods protect you and help you through this calamity!"

Li Changqing was stunned for a moment, and Murong Yao rushed out. Li Changqing lacked experience in dealing with such situations and was unable to react for a moment.

"The Limitless Whip, with power that can cleave heaven and earth!"

With a flick of the whip, a terrifying force was transmitted directly from it.

The ship, already on the verge of collapse, now split completely in two. Li Changqing could only watch helplessly as everyone on the other half of the ship sank to the bottom of the water.

"Damn it, I've been tricked by this little wench!"

"You filthy bitch, I'm going to tear you to pieces..."

The group of assassins' eyes turned red.

Just when they were about to complete their mission, who could have imagined such an accident would happen?

Li Changqing stood on the wooden barrel, drifting with the current.

It was pouring rain all around, and dark clouds obscured the moonlight and starlight, even though Li Changqing could see in the night.

In the swift current, he couldn't find any trace of Murong Yao for a while.

Instead, he could clearly see several figures on the deck. But Murong Yao was not among them.

"Little girl, what are you showing off for!"

What was originally a minor problem has now become a major one.

Li Changqing took a deep breath, exuding an aura of profound mystery.

The cloud layer is about 800 meters high, and breaking it apart is not an easy task.

Li Changqing pushed off with both feet, and his whole body flew directly up from the wooden barrel.

Using the cliff face, his body rose higher and higher.

The thunder and torrential rain could not stop him in the slightest.

On the contrary, the experts in the water occasionally looked up at the sky and almost thought they were seeing things.

Amidst the thunder, they unexpectedly spotted a figure.

That figure resembled an immortal undergoing tribulation.

Although small in stature, his aura is absolutely imposing.

It was about 40 or 50 meters above the clouds, and I felt like I could touch them.

Li Changqing stretched out his palm and slapped it forward.

This action looks quite ordinary.

But as he struck out with his palm, a tremendous gust of wind rushed forward, braving the thunder and rain.

"Snap!"

The lightning tore through the air, illuminating Li Changqing's face until it turned pale, but this was also the final frenzy of the thunderstorm.

As Li Changqing's palm struck, it was as if a hole had been drilled through the dark clouds in the sky.

The hole grew larger and larger; just moments ago there was thunder and torrential rain, but in the blink of an eye the dark clouds dispersed.

The cool moonlight and starlight once again bathed the mountain stream.

The mountain stream, which was originally pitch black, is now crystal clear.

Li Changqing's body fell from the sky, and within a few breaths, he was already on the water's surface.

He adjusted his posture and placed one foot on the deck.

The ship's planks shattered instantly, and Li Changqing's body stabilized. Then, Li Changqing's eyes scanned the surroundings.

At this point, Murong Yao had already been swept several hundred meters away.

If it weren't for the ship planks as a reference, even Li Changqing would have had a hard time finding the person.

"Truly, it's divine protection!"

Murong Yao was injured in the water, which was probably done by those assassins.

Fortunately, she was strong enough to survive.

Now they're clinging to a plank, drifting with the current...

Li Changqing stepped on the water and flew directly towards Murong Yao. Reaching her side, he pulled the little girl up and then quickly flew away.

The turbulent currents on the water surface had no effect on Li Changqing.

He seemed to be flying across the ground, wading through the water several times before leaping directly onto the cliff.

The assassins hunting him were clearly no match for Li Changqing. Aside from occasionally glancing up at the sky and catching glimpses of what seemed like divine phantoms interspersed within thunder, they...

There was no further trace of Li Changqing.

This martial arts miracle, which was enough to shock the world, had no eyewitnesses who witnessed the entire event.

The Blood Skull organization's assassins are, at most, strange.

Why did it rain so hard just now, and then the sky cleared up in the blink of an eye?

After Li Changqing left with Murong Xue, the Blood Skull organization's assassins instantly lost their target.

Although they couldn't find it in the first place.

But now the bright moon hangs high, and the stars shine brightly.

They could already distinguish things two or three zhang away, so naturally they didn't give up.

"We must find those two people no matter what!"

"In this river, we're all moving at about the same speed. They can't have gone far!"

"Search separately!!"

Martial artists with innate strength possess extremely powerful vitality.

They looked around like hidden beasts searching for prey.

Once they find their prey, they pounce on it and tear it to shreds.

But by this time, Murong Yao had already been rescued by Li Changqing, so they couldn't possibly find her.

Just as these assassins were searching for their target.

A figure lying on a ship's deck suddenly opened its eyes.

He was an elderly man who looked to be well past seventy.

The skin was loose and the hair was snow-white.

The old man greedily licked his chapped lips.

The moment he opened his mouth, one of his teeth was already loose and about to fall out.

Beside the old man stood a martial artist with a double-ringed sword on his back, his eyes bloodshot.

"cannot!"

He had barely uttered those two words when the old man's withered hand was already gripping his throat.

"Heh heh heh, heaven hasn't forsaken me!"

There were more than a dozen innate masters in this river.

In addition, there are the two who look after him.

The excitement in the old man's eyes sent chills down one's spine.

"Heavenly Demon Divine Skill!"

The old man, who was almost completely exhausted, began to frantically absorb the internal energy of the martial artist in front of him.

The martial artist's body visibly shrank.

As the martial artist's internal energy was completely absorbed, his essence and blood were drained away. The previously withered old man suddenly appeared three or four years younger.

He looked like he was in his sixties, even though he was over seventy.

"happy!"
