Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 172 - 78 The True Treasure, Bloodbath of the Towering Ship!_2

Because at this moment the figure was facing up with its back, face down, and with the rise and fall of the body, the crimson blood had already dyed the surrounding lake water red.

When Huang San flipped over the corpse, the scene he saw further confirmed his earlier judgment.

This person was dead beyond any doubt, with blood continuing to flow out from the seven orifices, and the eyes were extremely bulging, protruding like those of a cow.

Just as Huang San was observing the corpse in front, the screams from above were still incessant.

From time to time, there was the sound of bodies falling into the lake.

"Who is this ruthless person slaughtering the people of the Green Snake Gang above?" Huang San mumbled to himself.

Then he suddenly remembered the several sentences of conversation he had overheard outside the sunken ship at the bottom of the lake.

"Could it be that person?"

Thinking this, Huang San couldn't help but look up in the direction overhead.

He now understood that Shi Xiaoyuan had not returned to this day, and their entire party must have been buried at the bottom of the lake.

If they weren't all buried at the lake's bottom, how could they have not returned by now?

Moreover, the commotion at that time was still vivid in his mind.

"I wonder who that person is?"

"He's so formidable!"

"Not only did he kill Shi Xiaoyuan, but now he's taking on the Green Snake Gang's boat single-handedly."

"After today, the Green Snake Gang will exist in name only, and the county town is probably going to see a change of power!"

Thinking of this, a trace of joy couldn't help but show on Huang San's face.

Once something happened to the Green Snake Gang, then he too would be able to return to freedom and get out of the gang's grasp.

"Who in the world is the person above?" Huang San was filled with curiosity.

Shi Xiaoyuan, the Gang Leader of the Green Snake Gang, was a major figure in Luoshui County.

He had dominated the county for more than a dozen years, and there were few in the entire Luoshui County who did not fear him.

He had weathered many storms over the years.

Yet today, he had encountered his demise in the Luoshui River, and the massive boat that accompanied him was now caught in the midst of a massacre.

Under these circumstances, Huang San's heart was naturally filled with curiosity.

He was very eager to know who could commit such an earth-shattering act.

...

At this moment, the last glow of the setting sun was fading, and the lake surface was covered with sparkling golden light.

Huang San looked up at the sky, facing the direction of the sun, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes.

From his angle, he could only see the last gleams of the sunset dyeing the sky.

Apart from that, he could only see a corner of the boat.

As for the slaughter on board the boat, he could only hear it but not see it.

A moment later.

The commotion above the boat gradually diminished.

"Is it over already?" Huang San was full of surprise.

He had been imprisoned by the Green Snake Gang and brought here on this boat belonging to the gang.

Thus, he was very clear that there were nearly a hundred people on board the boat.

From when the commotion started to now, when the noise was getting smaller, only about half a moment had passed.

"Even if it were a hundred pigs, they couldn't be killed this quickly, right?" Huang San was even more astonished.

Having lived in Luoshui County for many years, he naturally knew why the Green Snake Gang could become one of the top three gangs in the county.

It was not only because of the influence of their Gang Leader Shi Xiaoyuan's martial strength, but also because the majority of the gang members were skilled in martial arts, including a number of Martial Arts Nine Grade experts.

Among the crew aboard the boat above his head, there were several Martial Arts Nine Grade experts who had accompanied Shi Xiaoyuan.

Yet now, with such a crew aboard this boat, there was no more noise in less than half a moment.

Just then.

Huang San couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Because in his line of sight, two people appeared.

...

Above the boat.

The man with a sharp monkey-like face looked at Jiang Ning with a trembling gaze full of fear.

At this moment, in his eyes, Jiang Ning seemed like a ghost or a demon.

The techniques he used were even more bizarre and uncanny.

"Please spare my life!" his face turned ashen, and he spoke with difficulty to Jiang Ning.

As he spoke, his face gradually turned from pale to purple, and the expression on his face became one of extreme pain.

"Please spare my life!" he again spoke with difficulty, begging for mercy.

But the water wrapping around his neck tightened even more.

The water acted like a python, tightly coiling around him, increasingly giving him a sense of suffocation.

It was not just that he could no longer breathe through his neck, his chest was also tightly bound by the water, being compressed continuously.

In this state, the oxygen in his lungs was completely expelled, and his internal organs began to shift out of place.

Creak—

Creak—

As Jiang Ning continued to exert force, the python-like water tightened even further, causing the limbs and bones of the man with a sharp monkey-like face floating before Jiang Ning to twist and deform.

Under the immense pressure, his eyes became even more bulging.

Crack—

With a crashing sound,

the sharp-faced, monkey-cheeked man in front of Jiang Ning instantly lost all breath.

Thump—

The water dispersed.

His already twisted and deformed corpse fell from the air onto the deck of the building ship.

It was clear he had completely stopped breathing.

Then,

Jiang Ning waved his hand again.

Several streams of water floating gently before him moved like living serpents, rushing towards the other end of the deck at high speed.

The next moment,

several streams of water reached another person.

The water instantly entered his body through his ears and nose.

Ah—

With a painful scream from the man, he died instantly, void of life.

Jiang Ning then beckoned once more.

Several more streams of water rose from the lake beneath his feet, and under his control, they moved like several serpents, thoroughly cleaning the battlefield and exterminating all the members of the Green Snake Gang on the entire building ship.

For such actions, Jiang Ning had no psychological burden.

Firstly, this method of killing wasn't visually impactful.

Unlike the violent entry of swords and spears, which would leave torn bodies and severed limbs scattered, with blood flowing like rivers.

Secondly, in Jiang Ning's eyes, among the hundred people of the Green Snake Gang he had killed, at least more than ninety of them deserved death, and at most, he would have wrongfully killed two or three.

In his view, that was enough!

He wasn't a Judge, he didn't need to be fair and just, he only needed to be true to his conscience.

Afterward, another two or three hidden survivors also perished under his Water Control Divine Ability.

Once the water, under his manipulation, entered through their nostrils and ears into their bodies, they would die within a breath or two.

Because once the water entered the body, the internal organs would be instantly shredded to pieces.

How could one not die with their organs turned to mush?

"This method is quite effective!"

Jiang Ning nodded slightly.

Compared to this, killing that Ninth Grade Martial Artist with the monkey cheeks earlier was incredibly inefficient.

Using water to shape into a python that constricted its prey to death was time-consuming, exhaustive, and low efficiency.

Unlike now, with water entering the body, they would die within two or three breaths.

...

On the other hand,

Huang San watched Jiang Ning with a horrified expression from beneath the building ship, the scene of Jiang Ning killing the sharp-faced, monkey-cheeked man had caught his eye,

clear and unmistakable.

"Is this sorcery or an Immortal Technique?" Huang San wondered in his heart.

These methods, he had only heard of in some storybooks and biographies.

Some recounted that in Ancient Times, there were mythical birds that, with a flap of their wings, would scorch the earth for a hundred miles.

There were also Divine Beings whose anger could cause mountains to crumble and rivers to change course.

But in reality, he had never seen such methods.

"Could he be one of the legendary immortals?" Huang San mused, looking up at Jiang Ning through the water, muttering to himself.

At that time,

on the building ship, everything had already settled down.

Nearly a hundred people had died before Jiang Ning's Water Control Divine Ability.

"Truly worthy of being called Divine Skills, indeed powerful!"

After this experiment, Jiang Ning could not help but praise repeatedly in his heart.

Without this Divine Ability, it wouldn't have been so simple to kill this nearly one hundred people with just his own strength.

He would have had to exert considerable effort.

Unlike now, everything was resolved with a mere wave of his hands.

He checked once more to ensure there were no living beings left on the building ship.

Within a hundred meters around, there was only one survivor in the lake.

As for that person, Jiang Ning casually glanced and knew right away that he was the one coerced by the Green Snake Gang to lead the way to the sunken ship.

For such an innocent and unlucky individual, Jiang Ning naturally had no thought of killing to silence him.

Some time passed.

Jiang Ning had ransacked the entire building ship.

Instantly, he gathered a great amount of broken silver and silver notes.

He was too lazy to count it all at the moment and simply stuffed all the gathered tael and silver notes into a cloth pouch.

With so many items and such a significant haul,

his hands alone couldn't carry it all.

Thus, he untied a small boat from the side of the building ship, placing all of his gains onto the light vessel.

After everything was properly arranged, he sat down in the small boat himself.

Then, with a thought activating his Water Control Divine Ability,

the water beneath the light boat immediately began to stir. The direction of the flow changed, carrying the light boat at high speed toward his residence.
