He achieved the pinnacle of martial arts starting with breaking through the limits of Tiger Fist.

Chapter 86 Waterborne Assault

Going north from the west gate of Changning County, there is a place called Liudu Town.

The town is adjacent to a large lake, and 90% of the people in the town are fishermen, so there is a fairly large fish market in the town.

The town has a wide wharf, a dense population, and a fish market that is several times larger than that of Shaziwan.

The fish market here is controlled by a gang called "Shun An Gang". This "Shun An Gang" not only occupies the fish market, but also runs a prostitution business on boats.

Although it can't compare to the pleasure boats in the city, and there's no poetry or music to sing, traveling by boat and enjoying the scenery has its own unique charm, doesn't it?

At this moment, on a colorful boat, several leaders of the "Shun'an Gang" were drinking with the two men, each with a half-undressed woman in their arms.

"Third Senior Brother, we've finally chosen a great place! Not only is the food and drink excellent, but most importantly, we'll have a blast!"

A burst of unrestrained voices rang out, accompanied by a chorus of lewd laughter.

"Seventh Brother still knows how to enjoy life, unlike Fifth Brother, who wasted his life for a few bottles of pills. If you ask me, this realm is not so easy to improve, it's better to enjoy life while you can."

The moment the third senior brother opened his mouth, he drew many voices of agreement.

A group of people who have been through the wringer naturally understand the feeling behind his words. They have worked hard to train their bodies and finally become martial artists. What's wrong with enjoying themselves?

Breaking through the Tendon Refining Realm isn't so easy. Putting aside everything else, just look at our group's eldest brother; his life is truly like that of an ascetic monk. Every day, besides practicing, it's all about practicing. It looks incredibly arduous. What's the point of living like that?

With a soft "thud," an iron hand gripped the ship's gunwale, and a shirtless figure flipped onto the deck.

This colorful boat is quite large. Although it is not as big as the "Eagle Claw Sect's" Anliu boat, it is not much smaller. This shows that the "Shun'an Gang" must be quite powerful.

"A swift and decisive victory."

Jiang Lin made up his mind.

Fortunately, this was on water; if it had been in a gang's territory on land, he would have been in real trouble.

The "Tiger Fist" is characterized by its wide and powerful movements, excelling in direct combat, but it is weak in assassination. If used in a gang stronghold, it would easily attract an ambush. No matter how confident Jiang Lin is, he understands the principle that many ants can kill an elephant.

"You guys keep drinking, I'm going to take a leak, we'll continue drinking when I get back."

One person got up from his seat and staggered toward the deck.

The figure slowly approached the ship's railing and stood still. A moment later, the sound of water came. He had been holding it in for so long that he urinated, and couldn't help but shiver, feeling incredibly refreshed.

Suddenly, a hand covered his mouth and nose, and his face felt a cold, rough touch, not like a human hand, but more like scales on a shell.

He tried to struggle, but was suppressed by a tremendous force. Then he felt his head spin uncontrollably, twisting almost half a circle. Then everything went dark. Even in the last moments of his life, he couldn't see whether there was a person or a ghost behind him.

Jiang Lin gave the body a gentle push, and it fell into the water with a "plop" sound.

He did it on purpose because the cabin was cramped and there were several female crew members inside. His "Tiger Fist" was too violent and might accidentally injure others.

Although Jiang Lin didn't care about killing, he wasn't one to kill indiscriminately. Most of these so-called prostitutes were unfortunate people, and he didn't want to harm the innocent if he could avoid it.

As the sound of water splashing was heard, there was movement inside the cabin.

What was that sound?

"Could he have fallen overboard while drunk?"

"Quick, quick, go out and see!"

The remaining four people rushed out of the cabin in a hurry, and when they saw that there was no one on the deck, they all ran to the ship's side to check.

The sky was dim, and the water rippled gently. When everyone looked down, there was no one there, not even a ghost.

Just as everyone was wondering whether they should go into the water to take a look, a deep tiger roar suddenly sounded behind them. But where did the tiger come from on the boat?

Everyone turned around in surprise, only to be met with the overwhelming force of a thousand troops galloping by. They felt the iron fist in their eyes expand infinitely, occupying their entire field of vision.

The third senior brother was the first to be hit. At this moment, his hands were empty, so he dared not meet the punch. There were people on both sides, so he could not even use his lightness skill.

As a last resort, he could only grab a leader of the "Shun'an Gang" and use him as a shield.

"Dream on."

Jiang Lin grinned, revealing a cruel smile, and his fist shot out with unstoppable force.

This punch was extremely fierce, first piercing through the gang leader, then moving forward to strike the third senior brother's heart in the left chest.

The swirling force suddenly erupted, tearing through the ribs and ripping open the heart, finally blasting a bowl-sized hole through the back.

Such a punch stunned everyone, with the seventh brother feeling it the most deeply.

These three senior brothers are far superior to him in martial arts. Even if he takes someone down with him, he will still be killed with one punch. If he were to face them, how could he possibly survive?

The seventh brother reacted extremely quickly. He lightly touched the deck with his toes, tilted his body, and threw himself straight into the water.

With a "thump," Lao Qi dived into the water, and from the surface, there was no trace of him.

"You're so smart."

Jiang Lin couldn't help but praise.

Wouldn't it be better to die on a boat and have a complete body? Why do they have to feed the fish to be satisfied?

At this moment, only one person remained on the boat. Seeing this situation, the person became even more decisive and knelt down on both knees with a "thud".

"Sir, spare me! Sir, spare me!"

Then he kowtowed repeatedly, and a puddle of water seeped out from under him, clearly he was so frightened that he urinated.

Jiang Lin frowned, a surge of irritation rising in his heart.

These gang members, who usually force women into prostitution and extort money, are utterly wicked. Now that it's their turn, they kneel down and beg for mercy.

What kind of logic is that?

Jiang Lin punched the back of the head, and the force of the impact caused the gang leader's eyeballs to pop out. He immediately lost his life and died on the spot.

Jiang Lin dealt with all the gang members on the boat, and didn't hold a grudge against the remaining boatmen and boatwomen. After all, his purpose in coming here was to provoke, and he wasn't worried about the news leaking out.

The seventh brother swam underwater and held his breath for a long time, but he dared not surface. Fortunately, he had the physique of a martial artist, otherwise he would have given up long ago.

He came from Lingnan, a region known for its abundant water, so he was an excellent swimmer. Furthermore, the "colorful boat" was not too far from the shore, so he was confident that he could escape.

After entering the water, Jiang Lin moved like a fish, a skill that allowed him to catch fish with his bare hands without any effort.

In the "Waterway Map", the seventh brother's whereabouts were nowhere to be hidden. He was seen using his hands and feet to dive towards the shore with great effort, and his speed was surprisingly fast.

Jiang Lin pushed off the water with both feet, parting the current and quickly chasing after it.

"Hang in there, just a little longer, we're almost there!"

Old Seven was holding his breath until he reached his limit, but he kept encouraging himself. Under the pressure of death, he had already performed exceptionally well today.

"Soon."

The seventh brother was overjoyed. The dock was only a dozen feet away, and with his skills, he could get ashore in no time.

Just as the joy of escaping began to rise, Lao Qi felt a sudden tightness under his feet, and a tremendous force pulled him down into the depths.

He kicked his legs desperately, but the hand gripping his ankle was tighter than an iron clamp.

He had been holding his breath to the limit, but finally couldn't hold on any longer. The moment he opened his mouth, a large amount of air bubble burst out, and at the same time, a large amount of water rushed in. He felt the cold water rushing down his trachea and into his lungs.

Each instinctive inhale brought in more water, instantly expanding the alveoli and causing a suffocating pain that spread throughout the body along the ribs.

"It's so awful, I'd rather die on the ship!"

This was Lao Qi's last thought, and then everything went black before his eyes, and he lost consciousness.
