Starting with fishing, I've traversed a chaotic world of demons and martial arts.

Gunshots rang out across the river.

The firelight flashed and disappeared!

The bullet fired by Li Tianxing didn't hit anyone; instead, it grazed the bandit's ear!

The bullet struck the iron lampshade at the bow of the ship.

"Bang—!"

The sheet metal on the iron lampshade cracked!

The bandit leader's cheek was also grazed by a bullet, and blood seeped out!

The lampshade was smashed, and shards of glass flew everywhere. Some of the robbers instinctively raised their hands to cover their faces!

"boom--"

A second, crisp gunshot rang out.

The bullet struck the wooden planks, sending splinters flying and a crack spreading across the deck!

The bandit leader, standing at the front, glanced down at the bullet crater at his feet, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he dared not take any further steps.

"Tell your men to put down their guns!"

Otherwise, if a bloodbath breaks out...

I can guarantee you'll die before me!

Li Tianxing said calmly.

Li Tianxing's superb marksmanship made the bandit leader fall into deep thought!

He didn't expect...

This seemingly unremarkable young man in front of me has such excellent marksmanship!

After all, you only have one life. If Li Tianxing targets you and attacks you...

This is really hard to escape!

At this moment, all around became quiet, with only the sound of the wind and the river water lapping against the boat.

The bandit leader glanced at Li Tianxing, then waved his hand:

"Brothers, put down your guns!"

"Put...put it down?"

A voice of doubt came from someone.

But some people just threw their guns onto the deck!

Clang!

The sound of metal hitting the deck could be heard...

Once there's a first one, there'll be a second and a third!

Guns fell to the ground one by one...

Li Tianxing stood at the bow of the boat.

I watched this scene unfold quietly.

Li Tianxing slowly lowered the muzzle of his gun and looked calmly at the bandits.

The bandit leader slowly raised his hands, a smile still on his face.

"Hehe... Brother, don't misunderstand."

We only seek wealth, not lives!

As the bandit leader spoke, he took a half-step forward, his footsteps so light they were almost drowned out by the sound of the waves.

Just then...

He suddenly reached behind him with his right hand!

That's a pistol!

"boom--"

Almost at the same instant, gunshots rang out!

It wasn't a direct firefight...

But Li Tianxing reacted even faster!

The bullet pierced the wrist that had just been raised from the side!

The blood mist exploded instantly!

The bandit leader froze.

"Ah! My hand!"

The bandit leader wailed in agony!

A heart-wrenching pain spread throughout his body.

The next moment, a second shot rang out!

"boom--"

The bullet hit him right between the eyebrows!

The bandit leader, who was wailing, suddenly froze, and fell backward!

On the pirate ship opposite, there was a deathly silence!

Then, chaos ensued!

It's completely blown up!

"My eldest brother is dead!"

"He dared to shoot, kill him!"

"Kill him!"

Someone roared, and the remaining bandits tried to pick up the guns on the ground.

"boom--"

The bandits opened fire; they began to resist!

Flashes of light appeared one after another, and gunshots filled the riverbed in chaos!

Li Tianxing moved sideways using the ship's side, like the surging waves!

"boom--"

Li Tianxing shot down the bandit at the forefront.

"boom--"

Another shot rang out, the bullet piercing through the crowd and killing the person with the most intense firepower at the back!

The wooden planks were smashed to pieces, and blood quickly spread across the deck.

Li Tianxing arrived on the pirate ship and kicked the other man in the knee from the side!

"Click—"

The bandit's kneecaps shattered, and he immediately knelt down!

Li Tianxing pressed the muzzle of his gun against the other man's forehead and fired another shot!

The fierce battle lasted only a dozen or so breaths!

Some people started to run away!

"Retreat! This person's strength should not be underestimated!"

One of the bandits shouted from the crowd and then jumped into the water.

"Thump!"

As the water splashed, several more bandits gave up resistance and jumped into the water.

Li Tianxing pointed his gun at the river!

"Bang bang bang—"

After several shots were fired, the river was stained red with blood.

Li Tianxing did not pursue them.

He stood in the middle of the deck and glanced at the corpses and bloodstains scattered all over the floor.

He raised his hand and shook the slightly hot pistol before putting it back into its holster.

"It seems like two of them ran away..."

I wonder what kind of organization these river bandits belong to?

Li Tianxing thought to himself.

At this moment, the ship owner shakily approached Li Tianxing.

His legs went weak, and his voice trembled:

"Young master, thank you for coming to my rescue!"

I didn't run on this river for very long.

I never expected to actually run into river bandits today.

They have a strong desire for revenge, so you'd better be careful in the future!

Li Tianxing gazed at the river:

"Okay, don't delay, let's set sail quickly."

"The sooner we reach Jinhai, the safer we'll be!"

The passenger ship owner responded:

"Alright, but you'd better be careful, young master. I've heard that bandits are very vengeful!"

I just saw someone jump into the river during the chaos…

"It's alright, if they can find my identity in Jinhai City."

They're quite capable!

Li Tianxing shook his head dismissively and then walked into the cabin.

He deliberately let some people escape.

Li Tianxing also wanted to see what kind of force dared to hijack a passenger ship in broad daylight.

What level exactly is it?

……

Once inside the cabin, everyone looked at Li Tianxing.

Their eyes were full of gratitude.

"Thank you so much, young man!"

"Yes, thank you!"

"If it weren't for you, everyone on this ship would be in danger!"

"Thank you, young master!"

Everyone expressed their gratitude.

The woman holding the child even came up to Li Tianxing and was about to kowtow to express her gratitude!

Li Tianxing helped her up and then returned to his seat.

He turned to look at the river and thought to himself.

"I never expected to encounter river bandits before even reaching Jinhai City."

It seems that even greater setbacks and challenges await me when I arrive in Tianjin.

……

As dawn approached, a low fog pressed down on the water's surface.

The distant masts were faintly visible, one, two...

The dense rows of ship masts emerged from the fog, like a black forest.

The passenger ship slowly approached, its hull creating a white wave on the water.

The river began to widen, and the lights on both banks became denser.

Various warehouses are connected together, stacked one on top of another at the dock.

Jinhai Wharf.

The place was bustling with noise!

There were shouts from rickshaw pullers, the clanging of metal, and the sound of wheels rolling over stone slabs.

They're all mixed together!

"We've arrived at Jinhai!"

The passenger ship owner shouted!

The sound was carried away by the wind, and someone in the cabin slowly stood up.

Li Tianxing pushed open the cabin curtain and came to the bow of the ship, the mist brushing against his cheeks.

Li Tianxing remained silent, his gaze slowly sweeping along the shoreline.

The dock was laid out in rows, with large ships on the inside and small ships on the side.

Some people were carrying bags of salt, while others were unloading wooden crates.

Further away, there was a row of three-story buildings with signs everywhere!

The passenger ship slowly approached the shore, and the mooring line was thrown out.

"Bang—"

The cable ring is attached to the wooden stake.

The boat paused slightly, then stabilized!

Li Tianxing stepped onto the dock, his shoes making a crisp sound as they stomped on the stone slabs.

Xiao Yuan and Zhang Li followed behind him.

The three of them stepped onto the dock.

The river surged behind me, and the sea of ​​Tianjin spread out before my eyes!

The wind blew in from the dock, carrying a faint smell of salt and coal smoke.

Jinhai Wharf is very large, much larger than Qinghe Wharf!

The streets of Jinhai are wide and paved with smooth stone slabs.

Li Tianxing looked at everything before him.

"Finally...we've arrived at Jinhai!"
