Chapter 218 War Has Just Begun (1/2)

After they dealt with the Femme Fatale, Lil Bei acquired information about the Zhang Yu and Li Tianling. Li Tianling the giant, had been living in Lord Long’s mansion, which made it almost impossible for Xiao Bing to kill him. So he decided to start with Zhang Yu.

In Shangyang City, there was a lake called the Purified Water Lake. A boat always floated on its surface. Xiao Bing now was standing on its bank with Dumbass and Zhan Hongyan behind him.

The night had gotten darker. Under the faint starlight, they could see that the boat was right in the middle of the lake.

Xiao Bing’s eyes sparkled like stars in the night. He looked at the boat and said calmly, “Hongyan, as a killer, how does it feel to kill people?”

Zhan Hongyan seemed upset, “Everyone has their own reasons. No one is born to be a killer.”

Xiao Bing sighed, “Yes. It’s just that sometimes we are forced to do things like this. I, for instance, have to do what I don’t want to for the next two days.”

There was sternness in Zhan Hongyan’s eyes. “Boss, I know you are as powerful as Zhang Yu. But he’s surrounded by water. It is said that even the masters of the pinnacle of the Elixir-strength aren’t his match…”

“I’ll be careful,” Xiao Bing said, “You two don’t need to stay here anymore. Go and kill the elites of the Long Family. Remember, your safety comes first. Once we’re done, let’s meet here and leave this very night.”

“All right, Brother Bing.”

Zhan Hongyan and Dumbass exchanged looks, turned away and disappeared in the dark.

Xiao Bing took a deep breath as he stared at the boat floating in the lake. He believed that the best way was to kill Zhang Yu on the boat while he was off guard. If he escapes into the water, he would be invincible. It would be a fierce battle.

Xiao Bing got on the raft he had prepared earlier and rowed towards the middle.

It was a quiet night, which was perfect for Xiao Bing’s plan to kill his foe silently. However, before he even got near boat, a man appeared. His was of average height and slightly thin, his hair was hanging down his shoulder. He faintly resembled the image of the ancient swordsman when he clasped his hands behind his back.

“Is the one on the raft here to kill me?”

His voice sounded mild, but Xiao Bing didn’t dare lose any of his vigilance. Each of the Four Vicious Dragon in the Yangtze River had all kinds of evil deeds and countless of people died by their hands.

Xiao Bing did not deny it. He stopped rowing and upraised his head, looking into the distance. He faintly saw the man’s countenance, thirtyish and handsome.

Xiao Bing said out loudly, “This one is called Xiao Bing of the Jiang City. I’m here to ask for advice.”

“So you are Xiao Bing…” Zhang Yu sounded surprised. “I was told you were of Transforming-strength. I didn’t expect you to be on the level of the innate. Good, you’re my big brother’s foe. You will die here tonight.”

Saying that, Zhang Yu took off his coat and the scale-like tight garment was revealed. Xiao Bing surmised that Zhang Yu could move under water freely like a fish.

Aware that his foe was about to dive into the water, Xiao Bing hurled the paddle in his right hand. It hurtled at Zhang Yu as fast as lightening, and was about to pierce his body.

Zhang Yu’s expression changed when seeing the paddle coming at him. He had not expected Xiao Bing, a master at the early stage of Elixir-strength, to have such exceptional force of power. It was because he didn’t know that years ago Xiao Bing had gone beyond the Elixir-strength. He was just walking on a path which he’d already set foot upon. It was like steel-refining. The more times the steel is refined, the purer it will be. And now the power inside Xiao Bing’s body was purer than that of normal Elixir-strength.

The purer one man’s power was, the greater the strength he could exert, which meant that Xiao Bing would be more effective when fighting.

The force coming with the paddle was so formidable that, though he successfully dodged, he had a horrible expression on his face. This Xiao Bing was different from what he had imagined. He once thought he could kill this Xiao Bing as easily as slicing a piece of cake. He had not expected that Xiao Bing would be stronger than he was.

Zhang Yu dove into the water. At the same time Xiao Bing hurled the other paddle, sending it whizzing deep into the water after Zhang Yu heading for his back. But eventually, after travelling about a meter deep, it was overwhelmed by the water’s buoyancy and floated on to the surface.

Xiao Bing frowned. If he fought Zhang Yu on the land, he would definitely have won. But his foe now had the advantage of the surroundings, which meant that he was now at a disadvantage.
