Chapter 150: We are confidants!

~8 min read 1,569 words

The reeds under the moon grew new leaves, the river wind pressed the stems down, and the shadows were cast on the water surface.

The river water collided with the shore in layers, ripples spread out in circles, and the water waves refracted, vaguely seeming to have a shadow hidden in the water.

Water grass swayed lightly with the water waves, and Liang Qu sat cross-legged on the back of the giant crab to practice.

The long spear Fubo was inserted upside down on the silt covered with gravel and clam shells, and two giant beasts lay on the left and right.

The rustling sound of reed leaves rubbing and the sound of wooden doors opening and closing were exceptionally clear in a piece of water tide sound.

The fat catfish and Cannot-Move opened their eyes.

Liang Qu pressed down the restless three beasts with his backhand.

"More than one, wait for them to enter the water."

He thought it was just a "spirit monster" causing trouble, but judging from the aura coming from the shore, there were a full three people.

The small Whale Gang was truly "full of talents".

About a quarter of an hour passed, and the sound of wooden doors opening and closing sounded again in the reed cluster, occasionally interspersed with a few sentences of conversation.

The tone was very strange, becoming blurred and unclear mixed in the river sound and the rubbing sound of reed leaves.

Liang Qu reached out and pulled out Fubo.

"They're coming!"

The three beasts were fully focused.

The fat catfish and Cannot-Move had their muscles tense, their green skin and scales bulging, their long tails curled, and Fist's eight feet trembled, its giant pincers falsely clamping, even more impatient.

Splash!

The "spirit monster" with a green skin and fish gills on the side of its neck entered the water, intending to swim to the Jianghuai River, but its peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of several spirit monsters hidden in the shadows, and its pupils shrank!

Liang Qu was waiting for this moment.

His entire body's tendons and bones rang together, Qi and blood surged out, gathered power on the spear tail, and pushed out with one hand.

The extremely sharp spear tip completely tore open the water flow, twisting out two intertwined water marks, as if a distorted white dragon was entangled and jumping on the spear body.

The gentle waves in the water suddenly turned into stormy waves.

Liang Qu clearly felt his spear pierce into the flesh, twisted the spear body in the "spirit monster's" unbelievable gaze, pressed down the long spear, cut open the spine, and the hot blood surged in the water.

The "spirit monster" suddenly felt its body become light, and the sharp pain in its neck pierced its consciousness in an instant.

And in the eyes of the other two "spirit monsters", from extreme stillness to extreme movement, the process in the middle seemed to have been forcibly extracted, only at the moment the two crossed, a big head suddenly flew up with blood, and the corpse left in place still swam forward stiffly.

Countless red blood surged from the neck of the headless corpse, scattering into a large piece of blood mist under the pumping of the heart.

The "spirit monster's" head floated in the water, and under the washing of the water flow, a sticky blue skin fell off, and underneath was a pale human face!

There was no spirit monster, only a person wearing a spirit monster skin.

Liang Qu slapped the corpse's spine with a spear, and the "spirit monster's" corpse fell into the silt, blood mist and mud mist merging together.

Everything happened too fast, the other two hadn't recovered from the astonishment, and the heavy water pressure had already hit their faces.

The fat catfish and Cannot-Move attacked from both sides, the chaotic water flow made people lose their direction, and the suffocation brought by the giant beasts was even more intense than the river water filling their bodies.

Run!

But how could people in the water swim faster than fish in the water, and there were invisible sound waves like sharp cones piercing into their minds, causing unbearable pain.

Sharp teeth pierced into the human body, and the two fell into an ice cellar, accompanied by violent tearing, their leg bones burst one after another, breaking inch by inch.

Even though they were submerged in water, their whole body felt as painfully hot as if it had been scorched by fire.

Physical strength flowed away from the broken bones, a large number of bubbles escaped from the two's mouths and noses, and the "gills" on their backs completely became decorations, like two broken rag dolls being thrown around in the water.

Soon the two had no sound at all.

Simpler than imagined.

As early as the fighting, Liang Qu had judged the level of the two from their aura.

Both were four-barrier martial artists.

Such strength was normal. Firstly, doing this kind of thing required confidants, and it was impossible to just find a few subordinates; secondly, wanting to scare away ordinary fishermen, just relying on a ferocious face wasn't enough.

Underwater, killing enemies across levels was really no different from slaughtering chickens and dogs.

Liang Qu tilted his head.

"Bring them up."

Four-barrier martial artists had vigorous vitality and were very durable. Without an hour or two, wanting to drown them was difficult. Coupled with Liang Qu specifically letting the two beasts avoid the waist and abdomen, the injuries weren't very serious, and the two were just unconscious.

Fist moved its eight feet, grabbed one with each pincer, picked up the two whose legs were broken, and returned to the shore, shaking them lightly, and two meat strips rolled, pressing down a large piece of reeds.

Liang Qu stepped on the water and went ashore. The water stains on his clothes turned into trickling streams and flowed to the ground, turning from dark blue back to the original dark blue.

He kicked them twice, seeing that the two were still unconscious, Liang Qu turned to Fist and said: "Smash their chests once."

Fist knocked on its head.

"Smash them here."

Liang Qu pointed to his own chest again.

Fist suddenly realized, placed the two bodies upright, raised its giant pincers, and smashed down fiercely.

How great was the power of the giant pincer? Liang Qu could almost hear the sound of their ribs breaking.

Under violent squeezing, the two opened their mouths, spraying water like a fountain, occasionally mixed with sand and water algae, constantly retching.

After recovering, they opened their eyes again, and the River-Dredging Office uniform on Liang Qu was exceptionally dazzling in the moonlight.

The two had been mixing in Fengbu County for a long time, had never seen what the River-Dredging Office looked like, and didn't know what the style of the River-Dredging Office official uniform was, but looking at it now, they felt it should be like this.

They finally knew exactly who had attacked them.

Liang Qu raised the Fubo spear, the sharp spear blade cut open the blue skin on the two, turned around, and cut off a piece and threw it on the ground.

"Are you going to say it yourself, or do you want me to force you to say it?"

The two looked at each other, both silent.

They were Liu Jie's confidants!

Liang Qu shook his head, turned around, and went to intimidate the first person with Fist.

Repeated confirmation, only then was it complete.

Comparing the two people's confessions, except for some irrelevant places, the general context was about the same.

The entire Whale Gang had three gang leaders, more than ten backbone members, and more than two hundred ordinary gang members, making it the largest gang in Fengbu County.

The strongest in the gang was the gang leader Liu Jie, at the extreme of the Galloping Horse realm.

Next was the Second Gang Leader Liu Yi, the younger brother of Gang Leader Liu Jie, who didn't make many moves and acted as a strategist, with strength roughly between the initial and mid-level of the Galloping Horse realm.

Finally, the Third Gang Leader, Zheng Tianfu, who grew up with Liu Jie and Liu Yi, had strength around the mid-level of the Galloping Horse realm.

So weak.

Liang Qu looked at the strength of the three Whale Gang leaders, feeling a bit strange.

Thinking about it, he felt the fundamental reason was that the strength in Pingyang County was too high, so his vision had changed.

In which ordinary county domain could there be Hunting Tiger martial artists? Having a Wolf Smoke realm was already remarkable.

As a result, there were six Hunting Tiger martial artists on the bright side of Pingyang County, oh, and there was also an old monk who was a Perfected Form remnant.

Exaggerated to the point of absurdity.

Even Liang Qu's several senior brothers, counting Senior Brother Xu who had just broken through, were all Wolf Smoke martial artists starting from the fourth senior brother.

It could only be said that counties were different.

Some counties were counties in name, but had the strength of a prefecture behind their backs.

Compared to Pingyang County, Fengbu County was completely a small place.

However, as the saying goes, shallow water has many turtles, and small temples have big demon winds.
