Why are you fighting to the death for the Luo Family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Luo is dead, and the captain is grievously injured. On this Flying Serpent, there are over six thousand Spirit Stones’ worth of goods, all for the taking!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With this wealth, you and I could both easily cultivate to Qi Refining Perfection. We might even have a chance to aim for Foundation Establishment in this lifetime!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once we reach Foundation Establishment, the world is our oyster. We could go anywhere! We could even be like the Luo Family’s ancestor and start our own cultivation family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Dequan’s tone was sincere as he spoke earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm...\" Su Ye fell into a thoughtful silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Su? What do you think?\" Feng Dequan asked hopefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Luo Family has treated me well. They did me the favor of teaching me the Dao... Let me think about it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye wore a conflicted expression and continued to ponder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Dequan’s face turned pale from blood loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he had torn his clothes to make a simple bandage while Su Ye was \"thinking,\" due to the [Bloodletting] array pattern on the Blood-Drinking Spear, it was barely effective. Blood was still seeping out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The foreign Magical Power attached to the array pattern could only be dispelled by sitting down and meditating to regulate his energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since Su Ye hadn’t agreed to cooperate, Feng Dequan didn’t dare to let his guard down and meditate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grew anxious. However, several dozen more breaths passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Su Ye still looking conflicted, Feng Dequan had no choice but to interrupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Su?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t rush me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye snapped, his attitude terrible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brows were tightly furrowed, his face contorted with obsession. He muttered words like ’Foundation Establishment’ to himself from time to time, as if trapped in a fierce internal struggle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him like this, Feng Dequan actually started to believe that the man was considering his offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when he thought back to the strength Su Ye had just displayed... his mouth twitched, and he swallowed his words, choosing to wait a little longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, time ticked by, second by second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In total, two or three minutes passed, and Feng Dequan was gradually losing his patience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Feng Dequan felt a wave of dizziness. His footing became unsteady, and he stumbled, nearly falling over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the blood loss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck! This brat is clearly toying with me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effects of the blood loss had completely worn away Feng Dequan’s patience. A furious flame ignited in his heart, and a murderous glint appeared in his eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t wait any longer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His only path to survival was to kill Su Ye as quickly as possible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Dequan roared. Magical Power surged through his body as he clenched his right hand into a fist and threw a punch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Magical Artifact flying dagger, glinting with golden light, was held between his fingers, acting as a hidden blade!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But facing the charging Feng Dequan, Su Ye’s expression changed completely, all traces of his earlier conflict and difficulty gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Did I stall for two or three minutes? Not bad.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, his act had just been a disguise to stall for time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would never trust someone who had tried to ambush him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The future Feng Dequan painted—mutinying and seizing the ship—was certainly enticing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment Su Ye considered the risks involved, he wanted nothing to do with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his panel ability, he preferred to make conservative, stable decisions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>HUMMM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye gripped the Blood-Drinking Spear. With a stomp of his foot, his bones cracked as he focused all his body’s strength into a single point!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold light flashed in his eyes, and a smirk played on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whale! Hunting! Spear!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Friend, I was waiting for my cooldown. What were you waiting for?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye’s body was like a fully drawn bow, tensed to the absolute limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHIIIIING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood-Drinking Spear left his hand, transforming in mid-air into a red streak, swift as lightning and nearly invisible to the naked eye as it shot forward with a whistle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was too fast!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The force was too immense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So much so that Feng Dequan’s pupils contracted, only to find he was utterly incapable of dodging!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>RIP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sounds of flesh being pierced and bone being shattered rang out simultaneously!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood-Drinking Spear pierced straight through Feng Dequan’s chest, carrying his entire body flying backward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>THUNK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tip of the spear embedded itself in the cabin wall, pinning Feng Dequan to it like a piece of calligraphy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\" Feng Dequan struggled to keep his eyes open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could finish his word, blood gushed from his eyes and mouth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Dequan was dead on the spot!\u003C\u002Fp>",1503,"2026-06-05T21:02:39.035Z",1,"novelbin.me","98d79bafb61a9acfb1b0b980cdb4c7de4a04fa4b31dd301d47d51bd7a04edb33","grinding-exp-from-a-demon-hunting-ship-chapter-17","grinding-exp-from-a-demon-hunting-ship-chapter-15",236,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrinding-exp-from-a-demon-hunting-ship-cover.jpg"]
