Chapter 115: Kill
Chapter 115: Kill
On a desolate island.
Jiang Ning emerged from the water, clutching a blood lotus, and just as he climbed onto the reef, he felt a strong gaze upon him.
The next moment, he looked up.
Several dozen meters away on the cliff, a burly man with a bushy beard and rugged features appeared in his line of sight.
At this moment, the burly man's eyes blazed with intensity, staring fixedly at Jiang Ning, his face even revealing a look of wild joy.
After seeing the man's face, Jiang Ning was slightly taken aback.
"Tian Buyi! This is Tian Buyi from the wanted poster!"
"If I capture him, I'll get a hundred taels of gold, enough to make me rich overnight."
With this thought, Jiang Ning's heart stirred with temptation.
On the other side.
Tian Buyi looked at Jiang Ning, his mood suddenly becoming extremely pleasant.
In his eyes, Jiang Ning was already a trapped turtle.
On this island surrounded by water on all sides, there was no way Jiang Ning could escape his grasp.
It was as if there was no way out, no escape.
At most, he could only dive into the water.
But entering the water, he had never been afraid.
His nickname was the River Dragon.
He had earned this nickname because his water proficiency was exceptionally outstanding.
At the same time.
As Jiang Ning pondered.
Tian Buyi stood on the cliff, his expression one of complete control.
"Are you Jiang Ning?" he asked slowly.
Hearing Tian Buyi's voice from the cliff, Jiang Ning's gaze suddenly froze.
"How does he know me?"
Then, Jiang Ning stood on the reef, slightly raising his head.
"Why do you recognize me?"
Hearing this, Tian Buyi grinned, "Because someone hired me to kill you!"
As he spoke.
Tian Buyi bent his body slightly, then leaped into the air, instantly jumping down from the cliff several zhang high.
Sensing the intense killing intent from Tian Buyi ahead, Jiang Ning's eyes shifted, and he had already made a decision.
The next moment.
He turned and leaped.
Plop—
The sound of entering the water echoed as he dove into the water.
On the other side.
Boom—
Tian Buyi landed on a rock, and as he fell from above, a powerful impact occurred.
The rock beneath his feet also cracked inch by inch.
"Entering the water?"
"That's my playground!"
Tian Buyi laughed, his body leaping again, covering several zhang in a single bound.
After a few jumps, he reached the spot where Jiang Ning had just entered the water.
At this moment, only two breaths had passed since Jiang Ning had dived into the water.
Instantly.
"Plop—"
As the sound of entering the water echoed, Tian Buyi also plunged into the water.
At the same time.
Jiang Ning was in the water.
"Someone wants to kill me?"
"Who could it be? Who could hire Tian Buyi, a sea bandit, to kill me?"
Jiang Ning muttered to himself, his gaze flashing slightly.
He had already made a judgment.
"It must be the Cao family!"
"Apart from the Cao family, who else could send a sea bandit like Tian Buyi to kill me?"
"Tian Buyi is an eighth-rank martial master, not just anyone can hire such a strong person."
Thinking of this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but sigh.
"Indeed! My previous guess was correct! Cao Bin's visit was just to numb me, to make me careless!"
"It should also remove the connection between the Cao family and me."
"With Cao Bin's visit, even if I were to die unexpectedly in the future, the Cao family can say they're not involved, clearing themselves."
"This way, they can also give an explanation to Shen Congyun."
"Moreover, who would suspect that Tian Buyi's assassination was ordered by the Cao family?"
"Perhaps they'll only blame the innocent bystander for being an innocent bystander!"
Just then.
Seeing the movement ahead, Jiang Ning's heart settled, his distracting thoughts dispersed.
Perfect! Entering the water, who is the prey and who is the hunter remains to be seen.
After Tian Buyi entered the water, he scanned the area with his gaze, easily capturing Jiang Ning's figure underwater.
After just a glance at Jiang Ning's figure, he revealed a confident expression.
"Just two breaths underwater, and he's already this far away, impressive! No wonder he appeared on this desolate island surrounded by water."
"But he's still a bit far from me!"
The next moment.
Tian Buyi moved.
His body weaved through the water like a swimming dragon, rapidly closing the distance to Jiang Ning.
"So fast!" Jiang Ning was surprised to see Tian Buyi's approaching figure, "No wonder he's the River Dragon, only the name is wrong, not the title."
Then.
Jiang Ning plunged into deeper waters, his speed increasing once more.
Behind him, Tian Buyi saw Jiang Ning's sudden increase in speed, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
"Good lad, your water proficiency is truly exceptional, a good seed!"
"Pity, today you've met this River Dragon."
Tian Buyi quickly followed Jiang Ning, diving into deeper waters.
The two, one chasing and one fleeing, moved farther from the desolate island, diving deeper and deeper.
After leaving the diving layer, the light also dimmed.
Tian Buyi saw Jiang Ning several feet away in front of him, his expression turning somewhat ferocious, and he cursed silently.
"Damn! If you escape again, when I catch you, I'll skin you alive!"
He chased for a while longer, finding it hard to close the distance.
Then, he patted his chest underwater.
His chest had originally been injured, and now, due to the prolonged breath-holding, it throbbed with hidden pain.
At this moment, his face also couldn't help but turn a little ugly.
Then, the thought that he had just suppressed resurfaced in his mind.
"Damn it! Is this kid deliberately playing with me?"
"When I'm fast, he's fast. When I'm slow, he's slow. He's always keeping me on edge, making me just a step behind him."
"But why is that?"
"Why is this kid able to hold his breath better than me?"
"And why is this kid's water proficiency better than mine?"

On the other side.
Jiang Ning noticed that Tian Buyi had stopped behind him, and he also came to a halt.
Turning back, he saw Tian Buyi staring at him with eyes wide open.
Their gazes met in the water.
"This kid, he really is playing with me!" Tian Buyi muttered to himself.
At this moment, seeing Jiang Ning stop and turn towards him, Tian Buyi was completely certain of this fact.
Then, he cursed silently in his heart.
"Damn it! I've encountered a monster! He's actually better at water proficiency than me, and he's just a yellow-haired brat!"
"No way! My chest is starting to hurt, and my breath is not smooth. I must get back to the surface quickly!"
"As for this kid, I can only give up for now!"
"I'll find his home in the future, sneak in, and chop him up!"
The next moment, Tian Buyi moved, quickly rising to the surface of the lake.
"Trying to escape?" Seeing this, Jiang Ning gave a cold laugh.
He had been trailing Tian Buyi for so long, waiting for this moment, waiting for Tian Buyi to run out of oxygen in his lungs, waiting for the moment when Tian Buyi would return to the surface.
This was the perfect time for him to make his move.
Tian Buyi was wanted, and a reward of a hundred taels of silver was offered for his capture.
This reward made Jiang Ning's mouth water.
Especially with his recent consecutive improvements in strength, he felt confident enough to give it a try.
Not to mention that they were currently underwater.
With his current water proficiency and underwater breathing ability, even if he truly couldn't defeat Tian Buyi, he still had full confidence in being able to retreat safely.
However, to increase his chances, Jiang Ning deliberately lured Tian Buyi deeper.
He led Tian Buyi, who had been chasing him, into the lake of the original deserted island, and even further into the deep-water layer.
Here, Tian Buyi would need more than a dozen breaths to return to land, even if he managed to reach the surface.
These dozen breaths were the perfect time for Jiang Ning to make his move.
Then, Jiang Ning moved, and his speed suddenly surged.
This is impossible!!
Seeing Jiang Ning approaching like a sharp arrow, Tian Buyi's eyes widened, and a feeling of extreme unease arose in his heart.
"Is this kid planning to trap me here?" Tian Buyi thought to himself.
At the same time, Jiang Ning's speed compared to before, directly increased by a fold.
The distance between the two was just over a zhang, less than five meters.
In front of Jiang Ning's full-power burst of speed, in just a breath, Jiang Ning reached Tian Buyi's head.
"How dare you!" Tian Buyi watched as Jiang Ning appeared on the path of ascent, his right hand tightly gripping the long sword in his hand, the veins on his hand bulging.
His face also suddenly turned furious.
He had dominated the Dongling County for over a decade, and his fame had lasted for several years.
Countless souls and grievances had fallen by his hand.
To be intercepted by a yellow-haired kid like this, in his eyes, was a first.
Especially since Jiang Ning, in his eyes, was like a turtle in a jar, a sure capture.
Being turned on by his prey, made him feel humiliated.
On the other side.
Jiang Ning looked down at Tian Buyi, who was looking up at him from below.
"Today, let's see how much my recent progress has improved?"
"Let me also witness the true strength of an Eighth Rank Martial Master!"
Then, Jiang Ning's heart moved, and he instantly released the restrictions on his body.
Thump—
His heart suddenly pounded violently, like a drum being struck hard, sending a tremor through his chest.
Then.
Thump—
Thump—
Each beat faster and more intense than the last.
In an instant.
His heartbeats were like a drum being continuously struck.
The surging blood coursed through his entire body, making Jiang Ning feel an immense surge of power.
At this moment, his skin also began to turn slightly red, his pupils dilated, and his body entered a state of excitement.
In this state, the various negative thoughts in his mind, such as tension and slight fear, were swept away.
His right hand tightly gripped the sword, and his power surged through his arm.
"Let's see if this blade can be blocked by an Eighth Rank Martial Master."
Jiang Ning looked at Tian Buyi below, thinking to himself.
That's right!
This time, he didn't choose to use his ultimate technique.
As for the Triple Force, he didn't dare to underestimate Tian Buyi, a powerful opponent.
