Enlightenment: Beginning as a Disposable Warrior

Thud thud!

A figure stepped out from the cabin, and the Gang Leader’s men fixed their gaze, their pupils constricted once again, shrinking to pinhole size as if witnessing something unbelievable.

They saw ’Lan Yu’ walking out from the cabin, his left hand holding a twitching figure like a dead dog. That figure was none other than Fifth Young Master Tao, Tao Han.

"This, this..."

The Gang Leader’s men showed expressions of disbelief, seemingly unable to comprehend what was happening before their eyes. Tao Han was being dragged out by the person next to him with his neck clenched.

Numerous questions arose in their hearts simultaneously.

Has Blue Tiger gone mad, and where has Zhao Yixin, Tao Han’s personal guard, gone?!

The momentary silence was quickly shattered by the extremely terrified scream from inside the cabin, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly turned murderous. The Gang Leader’s men, who lived by the edge of the blade, each drew their weapons, completely oblivious to the situation at hand.

"You, you...who exactly are you?!"

The Gang Leader’s men were unable to detect the tremor in the voice of their Hall Master Liu, as Su Mu listened to the screams from the cabin behind him, his eyes flickering.

From a rational standpoint, killing everyone on the ship tonight would be the safest, as dead men don’t divulge secrets. But Su Mu wasn’t a man for needless slaughter; he couldn’t bring himself to kill the innocent.

As thoughts raced through his mind, a flash of spiritual light appeared in his hand, and he took out a stern Golden Order engraved with a fierce tiger pattern.

"Fierce Tiger, Blade Catcher Golden Order...you’re with the Demon Slayer Bureau?!"

Demon Slayer Bureau?!

Upon hearing this, Hall Master Liu, in a semi-demonic state, was initially incredulous, then showed a face filled with resentment. Every year, their Gang Leader lavished so much silver coins on the Donglai County’s Demon Slayer Bureau, and both sides never interfered with each other.

And now the Demon Slayer Bureau wants to sever ties and turn hostile!

"This is a Demon Slayer Bureau operation, and you all should immediately surrender!" Just then, an extremely excited voice came from the deck.

They saw Li Xuan raise his hand in a flash of spiritual light, revealing a Blade Catcher Golden Order engraved with a fierce tiger pattern.

"Blade Catcher of Donglai County, at your service, my lord!"

Li Xuan clasped his fists with immense excitement. Three years, almost three years, since he received the orders to secretly infiltrate the Jiangkou Group to investigate a certain case. Who would have known what he had endured during these years.

If it weren’t for this Gang Leader, he would have almost become Vice Gang Leader mixed in with the Black Snake Gang.

Finally, it was time to wrap things up!

"My lord, this Hall Master Liu possesses extraordinary skills, and there’s still Zhao Yixin on the ship. We should join forces to take down Hall Master Liu first!"

Li Xuan’s ’turning to the light’ also stunned Su Mu, but compared to others, Su Mu’s shock was not as great. He had noticed Li Xuan’s abnormality upon boarding the ship; his face had undergone a meticulous Disguise Technique.

But Su Mu wasn’t concerned about these details. He boarded the ship with the intention of slaying everyone tonight, so whether Li Xuan was in disguise or had ulterior motives had no bearing on him.

Unexpectedly, that night, there were innocent girls captured aboard besides those guilty members of the Gang Leader and the Tao Family. Su Mu temporarily decided to take out the Blade Catcher Golden Order he obtained after Zhou Qing’s tragic death.

He planned to pin everything on the Demon Slayer Bureau, so even if the ’identity was revealed,’ it wouldn’t matter.

However, things often don’t follow the script.

Li Xuan, with questionable motives, turned out to be with the Demon Slayer Bureau. As for why Li Xuan called him ’my lord’ while both had Golden Orders, Su Mu couldn’t understand now, but it was not a place suitable for staying long. Quick resolution was still the best choice.

"No need, leave the others to you; I’ll handle Hall Master Liu."

Before Li Xuan could respond, Hall Master Liu’s eyes seemed to ignite with fury, his face contorted with rage. Li Xuan dared to infiltrate their Gang Leader as a Demon Slayer Bureau agent; now that the ’Blue Tiger’ had boldly revealed his identity.

Mostly, this area of water had already been sealed off by the Demon Slayer Bureau personnel. There was no escape tonight; only fighting to the death offered a slim chance of survival.

"You, you seek death!"

With a fierce shout, Hall Master Liu’s figure blurred, and as the afterimage dissipated, he suddenly covered a distance of several feet, his arms whirling with patterns like snake scales as he pounced on Su Mu with clawed hands.

"My lord, be careful..."

The words were cut off.

The sound of dragons and elephants roared furiously, a thunderous wave of sound resounded like an Ancient Bell exploding.

Su Mu raised his fist, smashing it towards the incoming figure.

Hundred Battles Fist·Greedy Wolf!

Kill!

Everyone on the scene felt a jolt to their spirits, as if the large ship transformed into a battlefield of smoke and war, an earth-shattering cry of fierce intent shook the heavens.

"Boom!"

They were abruptly awakened by a heart-wrenching howl, coming back to their senses, blood sprayed across the sky, and the previously ferocious figure charging at Su Mu was now miserable, howling and flying backward.
