Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

He lightly flicked the bloodstains off his clothes—the smell of blood from the murder he had just committed—and said, "But..."

The masked man's tone was laced with greed, "There's nothing I can do. This time, the employer offered just too much, so much that even I couldn't refuse..."

Ruan Xingzhu's body trembled, and her already pale face turned deathly white. Although she had already guessed it, the despair she felt when the other person confirmed it with their own mouth was still unbelievable.

The masked man seemed to relish seeing the despair on his prey's face. His cold eyes narrowed slightly beneath the mask: "If you have someone to blame, it's only your bad luck, Madam. You just had to mess with the wrong person."

As he spoke, he took a step closer to Ruan Xingzhu, his killing intent pressing down on the people opposite him.

"Rest assured, Madam," his voice turned chilling, "We at Qingyi Tower always value our reputation above all else. Since we've taken the money, we'll make sure it's done flawlessly, eliminating any potential threats to our employer!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding air seemed to freeze: "Tonight, everyone on this ship, whether they are the lady's guards or the lowly boatmen and laborers, will go down to keep her company."

The masked man looked around, and the laborers kneeling on the ground trembled with fear. "When this happens, everyone will just think it was a routine bandit raid."

"You..." Ruan Xingzhu's chest tightened, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Was it Dao Baifeng...did that bitch Dao Baifeng bribe your Qingyi Tower to kill me?!"

Anger, fear, and despair intertwined, making Ruan Xingzhu's voice tremble with hatred.

The emotion I felt was one of deep disappointment.

That man was Duan Zhengchun.

That man who kept saying he loved her, that he would protect her for life, and that he would give her a proper status.

Did he really not know any of this?

Or……

He was once again suppressed by the powerful Dao Baifeng?

even……

Did he even tacitly approve of all this in order to protect his own throne and reputation?

The thought of her beloved, whom she had loved all her life, ending up like this made Ruan Xingzhu's heart ache so much that she could hardly breathe.

"Duan Lang, Duan Lang... if you truly love me, why won't you see me? Why didn't you stop that vile woman?!" Overwhelmed with sorrow, tears welled up in her eyes.

In order to be with Duan Zhengchun, Ruan Xingzhu did not hesitate to break with her family and even became pregnant out of wedlock, enduring countless rumors and scorn on her own.

Even after marrying Chai Shen, her original intentions remained unchanged, but now it seems that she is a complete joke!

Besides herself and Cheng Ying, there were only three loyal and top-notch guards on the ship.

There were dozens of assassins in blue standing on the deck, most of whom were second-rate fighters, and five of whom were first-rate experts.

If it were only these assassins, with the ship's defenses and the resistance of a few skilled fighters, they would still have a fighting chance.

But with the appearance of this "goblin" wearing a demon mask, all hope vanished.

A master of unparalleled skill? Where on this ship could you find such a master?!

This masked demon man didn't even need to carry out any assassinations, nor did he need the help of his subordinates. He alone was enough to easily kill everyone!

"Madam, don't you know?" The masked man looked at Ruan Xingzhu's tear-streaked face, which was filled with hatred, as if he had touched a nerve.

He stopped, less than two zhang away from Ruan Xingzhu and the others. "A person who is too clever, or too infatuated, is more likely to die sooner."

His voice, though cold, couldn't hide a certain excitement: "Especially someone as beautiful and devoted as you, Madam, why don't I offer you some final comfort..."

As he finished speaking, a wave of energy emanated from him and spread outwards, causing the torches on the deck to flicker.

Seeing Ruan Xingzhu's tragic beauty and fear, the masked demon man enjoyed the feeling of watching his prey struggle in the face of death, watching the hope in their eyes gradually shatter, especially the feeling of a beauty about to be destroyed by his own hands.

This feeling was simply...

Wonderful.

"You bastard!"

"Protect the lady!!"

The three top-tier experts in front of Ruan Xingzhu could no longer withstand the immense pressure and charged forward with a roar!

They knew that if they didn't act soon, they would lose the courage to even make a move once the enemy's momentum reached its peak.

The three men were a burly man wielding two swords, an old man holding an iron fan, and a middle-aged man wielding a longsword.

Since the three of them were able to be taken under Ruan Xingzhu's wing, they must have some real skills. Now, facing life and death, the three of them dared not hold back in the slightest in their eagerness to protect their master, and their internal energy was unleashed without reservation.

"drink!!"

The burly man wielding twin swords took the lead, roaring as he charged forward. His twin swords danced into three wind blades, the blades slicing through the air with a whistling sound, displaying a desperate, life-or-death stance.

The other two followed closely behind. The old man used his iron fan to strike the other man's vital point on his chest, while the middle-aged man's longsword pierced the other man's eyes like a venomous snake.

The three worked together seamlessly, forming a triangular formation to surround and attack the masked demon man, cutting off all his escape routes.

However, faced with this overwhelming attack, the masked demon sneered, "Overestimating yourself!"

With a disdainful snort, just as the dazzling array of swords and shadows was about to strike, the masked man moved. Apart from Qin Han, who was watching closely, no one present could see how he moved.

"Bang!"

A dull thud.

The burly man with two swords at the forefront was sent flying backward at an even greater speed than when he arrived.

The two swords in his hands were shattered into pieces by the masked man's bare hands in an instant. The big man spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air, which was mixed with pieces of broken internal organs.

The moment it landed, there was a crisp "crack" sound.

The big man's ribs were all broken, and he crashed onto the deck, smashing a large crater into the hard wooden planks. He twitched a couple of times and then lay still.

One fatal blow!

"What?!"

The remaining elderly and middle-aged people were terrified. This big man was just as skilled as them, and they were so frightened by the scene that they almost lost their minds.

one move!

With just one move, he instantly killed a top-tier expert!

This is the terrifying power of an absolute expert!

The two tried to back down and retreat, but it was too late.

The masked man appeared before the old man like a ghost, his right hand forming a claw, grabbing the iron fan the old man was thrusting at him with a dragon-shaped aura.

"Click!"

He easily crushed the hard iron judge's pen, showing that his skill was even harder than the iron itself!
