Becoming a saint begins with the infinite accumulation of destiny.

On the quiet night boat, a few flames were blown by the wind, causing the torches to crackle and pop, and the flames suddenly leaped up a little.

The air on the deck fell silent for a moment.

"Kid, first time on a boat?"

The team leader, Liu Sandao, had a ferocious expression on his face. Looking at Chen Shisheng opposite him, he suddenly felt a little amused.

Having spent decades in the underworld, he went from initially looting corpses to picking up women who had been with others, and now, after breaking through the Bone Forging stage, he has become the leader of the Water Floating Sect.

He had seen countless people: those begging for mercy, those putting on airs, those stubbornly clinging on, those unwilling to accept defeat...

So this is how it turned out?

Those people all became victims of his blade!

Be careful in your next life!

A gust of fierce wind, carrying a fishy smell, suddenly rushed forward, and in the blink of an eye, Liu Sandao was in front of Chen Shisheng.

He raised his arm, his muscles bulged instantly, and his blood and energy surged violently.

Then, with a twist of his waist and hips, he unleashed a powerful strike, splitting Mount Hua with terrifying force, and slammed down from mid-air.

This strike concentrated almost all of his power, with all the blood and energy in his body focused on a single point.

Without holding back at all, Liu Sandao intended to use this one strike to cleave the man in front of him in two.

His eyes were filled with cruelty, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

This is his long-standing habit of drawing blood with his knife.

The boatmen around them only saw a blur before their eyes, and in the blink of an eye, they saw Liu Sandao draw his sword. The wind from the sword swept past fiercely, bringing with it a strong gust of wind that made them tremble and their legs go weak.

Snapped!

All that was heard was this sound.

The cheering bandits around them all stopped abruptly, their raised hands frozen in mid-air.

Their eyes widened in astonishment, as if they had encountered something incomprehensible and strange; their mouths were slightly agape, unable to utter a word.

Chen Shisheng calmly intercepted the knife with a swift, open-close motion of his hands.

No matter how hard Liu Sandao tried, the knife could not move down even an inch.

Click!

Chen Shisheng remained indifferent, then suddenly exerted force with both hands, snapping the blade in half.

His eyes were cold, then he suddenly moved, taking a step forward, his whole body like a cold spear. With his shoulder as the head, his blood surged, and with a fierce bull charge, he charged forward.

*Thud!*

Liu Sandao felt an immense force explode from his chest.

Then his body was uncontrollably thrown backward, slamming hard onto the deck of the ship, rolling backward, and finally crashing into the railing.

Cough cough!

"you....!!?"

Liu Sandao coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, clutching his chest with difficulty. He felt his ribs break and pierce his lungs, making it difficult for him to breathe.

His breathing became rapid, and the mockery and disdain in his eyes were gone.

In fact, he had just attacked with all his might; that strike was almost his strongest killing move.

result....

Yet they didn't even touch the person's body!

The difference in their abilities is completely on different levels.

Although he was a Bone Forging cultivator, he was only practicing a fragmented manual that he had obtained from an unknown martial artist.

In fact, he didn't even know how to read; he was able to cultivate only because the village's clerk translated and explained things to him.

However, to prevent the secret manual from being leaked, he would break it down into several sections and ask about only a few sections at a time, gradually figuring out the contents.

But precisely because of this, his understanding of the already incomplete manual became even more confused.

He practiced many things haphazardly, which meant he didn't understand the key points at all.

Even the cultivation of qi and blood is vague and lacks understanding.

"I surrender! Spare me, sir!"

Liu Sandao lost his previous arrogance and knelt down with a thud.

He had met countless people, including powerful martial arts masters.

Kneeling down and begging for mercy is a more effective way to save your life than everyone fighting together.

This is a lesson he has learned after being a bandit for so long.

The person in front of me is clearly not faking it; he genuinely has real skills.

"What did you mean by what you just said?"

Chen Shisheng approached, kicked away the knife in the man's hand, and asked in a cold voice.

"Have you had prior contact with the Lin family, or have you made any deals with them?"

"The Lin family...? Sir, I... I only heard from the boss that we were sent to intercept the Lin family's goods, saying they broke the rules and needed to be taught a lesson. That's all I really don't know."

Liu Sandao lay on the ground, not daring to lift his head, and hurriedly explained.

Are you sure?

Chen Shisheng's eyes were gloomy. With a slight exertion of force, the blade was close to Liu Sandao's neck.

Suddenly, a faint line of blood appeared.

"I really had no idea! Our actions were all arranged by the leaders; we were just following orders."

Feeling the coldness on his neck, Liu Sandao quickly replied.

"What did you mean by the warning you gave me before?"

Having ruled out the possibility of the Lin family joining forces with Shui Shangpiao, Chen Shisheng breathed a slight sigh of relief; thankfully, it wasn't the worst-case scenario.

If that's the case, the Lin family will definitely send people to join forces and take action.

"Warning? Yes... it's our rule on the water. Usually, we charge a toll after the boat passes three times. The Lin family didn't pay the toll this time, and we warned them several times before, which is why we sent me..."

Liu Sandao lowered his voice and quickly explained.

"Warning? The Lin family..."

Chen Shisheng felt a chill run down his spine, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he instantly understood the key to the matter.

The Lin family is essentially testing the waters with their own strength, trying to use themselves as a shield to block those who float on water.

Logically speaking, protecting cargo ships was his duty, and even if Chen Shisheng knew about this situation, he had no complaints.

He was prepared to do things for money, a situation he had considered even when he was on temporary assignment.

However, the Lin family clearly had no sincerity whatsoever, as they did not even inform the ship of any possibility of it floating on water when they set sail.

If this person wasn't weak, wouldn't he be putting himself in a dangerous situation?

How is this any different from taking his life?!

"Since that's the case..."

Chen Shisheng put down the knife, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Then you can take this cargo."

"what?"

Liu Sandao was instantly dumbfounded, staring blankly at the sky, completely bewildered by what was happening.

Just a moment ago they looked like they were about to kill him, but now they're suddenly giving them a whole ship's worth of goods?

Silently putting away the poison in his hand, he immediately changed his mind, having originally planned to trick Chen Shisheng.

Actually, he had roughly figured out some of the details from the conversation just now.

He realized that this was a conflict between the Lin family and the martial artist in front of him.

"Okay. Thank you, thank you!"

He clasped his hands tightly in a fist salute and carefully took a few steps back.

Just as he was about to call for help to move the goods and go back to report, Chen Shisheng's voice rang out behind him again.

"Wait a moment!"

"Sir, is there anything else? Are you going to kill all these people? Don't worry, I'm good at this. Leave it to me."

Liu Sandao turned around, a fawning smile plastered on his face, and pointed to the boatmen beside him.

Xiao Shan and the others turned pale with fright, and with a thud, they knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Shisheng, begging for mercy.

"When did I let you leave?"

Chen Shisheng looked at Liu Sandao, who was bowing his head, and stared at his lower back.

"Go to hell! Go to hell!!" Liu Sandao immediately realized something was wrong and his anger rose from his heart.

He reached out and grabbed the poisonous water and powder, threw it forward with force, and then turned and fled.

Swish!

A glint of cold light streaked across the night sky.

Liu Sandao maintained his fleeing posture, but a chill ran through him. His blood surged wildly, but the blade seemed to be poisoned, causing his blood to loosen and he could no longer muster the strength.

"I was planning to let you go, but you still tried to ambush me! You really don't appreciate my kindness! The world is going to the dogs!"

Chen Shisheng sighed softly and remarked with emotion.

"you....?!!"

Liu Sandao turned around, his face pale and his eyes wide.

He pointed at Chen Shisheng, but then slowly fell to the ground, never to breathe again.

He couldn't understand when he had been poisoned. He was clearly a master of poisons, yet one day he was poisoned by someone else.

This person's behavior made Chen Shisheng change his mind.

He swallowed all the medicinal herbs himself!
