When the giant shark monster emerged from the water, all the chieftains on the ship remained calm.
Such a giant shark should not be able to be raised in the Lanjiang River.
It was raised by a chieftain of the Lianjiang Water Village.
In terms of martial prowess alone, Li Hanzhou could be considered the number one among the many chieftains present.
But if you add that giant shark sea monster, it's hard to say.
Li Hanzhou once said: If I were on the shore, I would not be afraid of it.
One can imagine how powerful this giant shark sea monster was.
They even believed that if they met in a narrow passage in the water, even a martial artist with innate abilities might not dare to underestimate them.
The various village chiefs, though tacitly aware of each other's intentions, had already made their own preparations.
They planned to launch an immediate attack on Lin Ce after the giant shark sea monster completed its first wave of attacks.
Innate martial artists are indeed powerful, but if an opportunity arises, none of the people present will lack the courage to seize it.
Unfortunately, that opportunity never came.
That terrifying giant shark, halfway through its attack, suddenly let out a terrified scream, flipped over and fell into the water, and tried to flee for its life.
No matter how its owner called, there was no response.
The village chief, who was in charge of keeping the sea beast, was extremely anxious. If he hadn't been wary of Lin Ce's presence, he would have rushed out to comfort his precious sea beast.
But he will never have that opportunity again.
The next instant, his eyes burst open, and a powerful grief overwhelmed his heart.
Lin Ce reached out and pulled, and somehow Li Hanzhou's oar ended up in his hand.
Then, with a casual flick of his wrist, the oar transformed into a streak of black light and flew out, striking the giant shark sea monster that had fallen into the water.
"Pfft~"
A dull thud rang out, and the massive body of the giant shark sea monster exploded the moment it touched the water's surface.
Blood rained down, chunks of flesh flew everywhere, some of it landing on the boats and hitting the many leaders of the water fortresses.
"If you're going to attack me, why do you think you can escape unscathed?"
Lin Ce's indifferent gaze fell on the leaders of the water strongholds, and he slowly spoke.
"I advise you not to think about these things. This is my last bit of patience. I'll give you half a day. If Dugu Wang doesn't come, then you will all be buried with this fish."
An eerie silence fell over the ship.
The owner of the giant shark had bloodshot eyes and clenched fists, but dared not do anything out of line.
"What, are you feeling wronged?"
Lin Ce sneered, "My Sihai Escort Agency has been escorting its own goods in a lawful manner and has not offended your Lianjiang Water Village. What have you done? You want me to send ransom over?"
Looking at everyone present, the coldness in his eyes intensified.
"Now that you're less skilled than others, you think of yourself as a victim?"
Many of the village chiefs lowered their heads, their faces bitter.
If you're weaker than your opponent, anything you say at this moment is meaningless.
Li Hanzhou gritted his teeth and finally decided to speak.
Of all the chieftains present, he was the strongest. If he didn't step forward, no one else would.
"Detaining your escort agency's personnel was indeed an oversight on our part. Fortunately, everyone from your agency is safe and sound. I, Li, apologize to you here. Chief Escort Lin, please feel free to state your demands, and we can have a proper discussion..."
"Boom!"
Lin Ce placed one hand on Li Hanzhou's shoulder, pressing him down so hard that he could no longer stand and had to bend his knees.
Li Hanzhou's face turned bright red, and he tried to unleash his inner energy, but to no avail.
Finally, he was forced to his knees by that hand, and the planks of the boat below were smashed by his knees.
"If you're going to apologize, then apologize properly. And who do you think you are to talk to me?"
How could the fourth chief of Lianjiang Water Village have ever suffered such humiliation?
Li Hanzhou almost ground his teeth to powder.
Seeing this, the other village chiefs could no longer stand it and rushed towards Lin Ce.
"Step back—"
Li Hanzhou gritted his teeth and shouted.
"Did you hear me? Get out of the way!"
He knew very well that, up until now, Lin Ce had not yet harmed the lives of the brothers in the water village, and there might still be room for maneuver in this matter.
But if the brothers from the water stronghold take the initiative to attack the other side, that's a different story.
Judging from the fate of that giant shark sea monster, we can see that the other party is not only benevolent.
Although they were filled with rage, Li Hanzhou's words ultimately had an effect, and the group pulled back from the brink and stopped.
Seeing the anger clearly in everyone's eyes, Lin Ce nodded.
"It's good that you can recognize the situation, otherwise the river would probably be stained with blood today."
"Chief镖师 Lin, I know that it's no use saying anything now. Please allow me to bring out your esteemed镖局 personnel first."
As Li Hanzhou spoke, he winked at the seventh chieftain beside him.
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. At this moment, your life is entirely in the other party's hands, so you must try your best to please them in order to ensure your safety.
The seventh chieftain clearly understood this as well, and was about to muster the courage to step forward.
After all, this matter was caused by him, and the one who tied the knot must untie it.
However, Lin Ce, standing before them, merely smiled coldly, head held high, and said:
"No need."
Then, the seventh chieftain saw a commotion coming from a certain area of the chain of ships.
That was the place where the caravan was trapped.
Being in a high position, he could see that on the large ship, a group of teenagers wielding long sticks were beating the brothers from the water village until they screamed and could only jump into the water to escape.
And those who jumped into the water clearly failed to escape.
A figure dressed in a tight-fitting water armor wielded a long staff that moved like a dragon, beating the brothers to pieces.
The seventh chieftain's heart skipped a beat.
Without the protection of these chieftains, it was clear that the brothers under their command could not control the people from the Sihai Escort Agency.
It was a foregone conclusion that the caravan members would escape on their own.
They didn't even have the last bit of leverage to make a goodwill gesture towards the other party.
What will happen next?
"Yu Jiu, well done! Go and stab through all their other ships too. And those guys who ganged up on me last time, come and fight me again! Let's see who's afraid of who!"
The sound resounded, and a figure floated back and forth in the sky, searching for people to fight on the linked ship formation.
In his hands, there was not a single enemy who could withstand a single blow.
The seventh chieftain frowned.
He recognized the man.
This sword-wielding youth certainly had the right to be arrogant.
Despite his seemingly unremarkable cultivation level, only at the eighth rank, he possessed a multitude of tricks up his sleeve and was incredibly difficult to deal with in a real fight.
I really couldn't handle it by myself at the time, so I swallowed my pride and asked several other village chiefs for help.
At this time, many village chiefs were trapped in this place, and the young man was truly like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
"Young man, wait a moment, let's talk this out."
After kicking away several more bandits from the water village, a gentle voice came from afar.
As the sound came, a fan spun in the air and flew to the boy, blocking his sword strike.
The village chiefs were overjoyed.
"It's Second Brother!"
