A swift blade can create flowers, a thunderbolt can cut through hemp.

Heng Wenhao grew up in the palace and was one of Yuan Yun's first members of the Dragon Guard. He was considered one of the older members of the Dragon Guard, but he also had the best aptitude.

He learned swordsmanship from the palace masters, mastering it quickly. He didn't stagnate, but instead, relying on his own comprehension and diligence, created a swordsmanship style perfectly suited to him.

"A swift blade creates flowers, a lightning strike cuts through hemp..." Gan Lang murmured to himself, then asked, "What's the name of your swordsmanship?"

Heng Wenhao said, "A twisted knife."

"A good name!"

"You flatter me."

"There wouldn't be a master like you among the pirates. Are you from the Southern Zhou?"

"Don't try to probe me. You're here to fight, not to negotiate."

"I'll fight you to the end." Gan Lang raised his double whips.

"Slicing through lightning and cutting through hemp, it can be heavy or light, clumsy or skillful. You couldn't even withstand my first, swift, and beautiful strike, how could you possibly block my second?"

Heng Wenhao glanced at the soldiers who had retreated to a distance and said proudly, "I can spare the lives of these people, but if I fight you, I won't be able to stop my blade."

Why throw away your life in vain?

"That's not necessarily true!"

Gan Lang shouted and his right whip flew out. Heng Wenhao deflected it with his knife, and it flew back into his hand. He immediately leaped up and jumped into the small fishing boat at sea.

Heng Wenhao also left the large ship and chased after the fishing boat.

Seeing this, Qi Bainian finally breathed a sigh of relief and patted his heart to comfort himself.

After Heng Wenhao landed on the fishing boat, Gan Lang only exchanged one blow with him before jumping off and floating directly on the sea surface.

He wasn't standing on the surface of the sea; the waterline was at his thighs, as if a fish tail had sprouted from beneath him, allowing him to stand steadily in the water.

Seeing this, Heng Wenhao was somewhat surprised. Looking closely, he saw rolling water splashing up on both sides of the dry waves.

He immediately understood that Gan Lang was spinning his double whips, using them as oars!

"This amazing skill."

Just as Heng Wenhao finished his sigh, Gan Lang rushed towards him.

Unlike when you're on a boat, the explosive power of dry waves increases exponentially, and the feeling of them rushing towards you is like a cannonball!

Heng Wenhao immediately jumped up.

Bang!

The fishing boat was broken in two by the dry waves. Heng Wenhao jumped onto another fishing boat, and the dry waves crashed over him again, several times in a row.

Bang bang bang!!!

With nowhere to retreat, Heng Wenhao fell into the water. The waves rushed over, and the attacker used the whip in his left hand as a paddle and the whip in his right hand as a paddle, and vice versa. The attackers used the whip in their left hand as a paddle and the whip in their left hand as a paddle, alternating between the two. Their speed and coordination far surpassed Heng Wenhao's. Suddenly, the situation reversed, and the attackers were pressing Heng Wenhao.

Heng Wenhao was unable to use his second sword strike while underwater and could only defend passively.

I'll also give you eight words.

Gan Lang fought with increasing ferocity, the joy of impending victory stimulating his senses. He exclaimed, "Riding the wind and breaking the waves, my double whips are like oars!"

Heng Wenhao immediately understood that this person's fighting ability in the water was much stronger than on land.

Even if Qi Bainian didn't tell Gan Lang to change the location, Gan Lang would still try to lure Heng Wenhao into the sea.

Heng Wenhao looked up at the sun, calculating the time, then glanced at the agreed-upon place and saw Yuan Fei nodding to him in the distance.

He breathed a sigh of relief, then used the tactic of advancing as a form of retreat to extricate himself from the fierce onslaught of the dry waves. He jumped onto land and ran off into the distance.

Gan Lang glanced at Heng Wenhao's retreating figure with lingering interest, then quickly walked up to Qi Bainian and said, "This man is a true master. On land, I can't catch up with him, and... I can't beat him."

Qi Bainian saw all this and said, "You've already done a great job getting rid of him. It's just a pity about this ship..."

"There are still two days until the completion ceremony, we can still make repairs! You need to arrange for people to work on and make extra repairs as soon as possible!"

Qi Bainian withdrew his gaze and looked at Gan Lang again, asking, "Do you know the other party's identity?"

Gan Lang shook his head and said, "His swordsmanship is self-created and has never been seen in the martial arts world. We can't test it out."

Qi Bainian thought for a moment and said, "Then you stay here before the completion ceremony to prevent him from causing trouble again."

"yes."

"I have only one request: the completion ceremony must not have any problems!"

...

Meanwhile, Miao Shaohua angrily went to Qi Bainian's office to find him. She learned that Qi Bainian had gone to the dock before she arrived. She thought that Qi Bainian probably knew about the woman's trouble and was deliberately avoiding her, so she turned and headed to the dock.

As soon as they turned out of the prefectural governor's mansion, Zhao Wu stopped the five of them.

"Madam, please wait."

Miao Shaohua asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"

Zhao Wu never expected to be an actor. He suppressed his nervousness and slowly said, "I am here to wait for Madam. It was Lord Qi who sent me."

"Why did he send you here?"

"The matter at the dock is very important to Lord Qi, and I hope that Madam will not cause trouble."

"He really knew about these women!" Miao Shaohua shouted angrily, barging towards Zhao Wu and saying, "Is the dock more important, or is your family more important!"

Clang!

Zhao Wu raised his hand, and the broken knife popped out, revealing a section of the blade.

Upon seeing this, Miao Shaohua's two guards immediately rushed towards Zhao Wu. Zhao Wu remained unmoved, punching each of them until they were squatting on the ground, yelling in pain.

Looking at Zhao Wu's fierce face and then at the blade reflecting the cold light in the sunlight, Miao Shaohua shivered.

"Has Qi Bainian found another expert like Gan Lang?"

Zhao Wu kept Zhao Cheng's instructions in mind: speak less and ask fewer questions. So he didn't answer, but said, "Lord Qi sent a master like me to stop you. His meaning is already very clear. Home may be important, but right now it's definitely not as important as the dock."
