‘Shoot the horse before the man, capture the king before the thief,’ if we take down Tie Xiaosheng, the morale of the Iron Banner Gang will self-destruct.

However, this comes with great risks—”

Ren Daoheng knew exactly what kind of ‘risk’ Wen Xiwen was referring to.

The enemy possesses numerous powerful crossbows and a significant number of Rune Heavy Arrows, and they’ve also gathered many Outer Hall Masters from the Iron Banner Gang.

The number of experts they have is actually not much less than at the Seventeen Linked Wharves.

Tie Xiaosheng is well hidden among the enemy troops, surrounded by numerous large ships on guard.

If they were to try to break through by force, it would be akin to facing a barrage of thousands of arrows!

“So be it.”

Ren Daoheng raised his hand, stopping Wen Xiwen from saying more.

A hint of coldness emerged on his face, “Still the 500,000 taels of Demon Silver, get some experts on loan from the Jiangnan County Navy Camp.

I’ll lead the assault personally.”

Tie Xiaosheng’s cultivation had already reached the Lower Fifth Grade, and his Magic Artifact and War Map were also quite formidable.

However, his talent paled in comparison to the Iron Madman by far.

Ren Daoheng reckoned that his subordinates, as long as they could buy him a moment—no!

Just half a moment.

This would allow him to face Tie Xiaosheng one-on-one, and he would surely capture him.

※※※※

Ren Daoheng acted swiftly and efficiently, selecting seventy-three people in a very short time, all of whom possessed at least Seventh Rank cultivation.

Wen Xiwen’s negotiating skills were also outstanding.

This time, the Jiangnan County Navy Camp responded very straightforwardly, allocating a total of sixty-two Martial Cultivators of Seventh Grade and above.

To Ren Daoheng’s surprise, among them was a Deputy Commander from the Jiangnan County Navy Camp, also an expert at the Lower Fifth Grade.

They took less than half a moment to prepare, then leaped from the ship like ospreys, soaring downstream.

Some flew close to the surface of the Shenxiu River, while others rode the wind up into the air.

As these people passed the half-sunken large ships and fire ships on the river, the Iron Banner Gang became instantly alert.

Arrows flew towards them in dense swarms.

Some used swords and knives to block and deflect; others dived into the deep water, while yet others accelerated their movement technique to dodge and weave around.

Meanwhile, Ren Daoheng flew through the air; three inches in front of him was a layer of pliable blue-green Vigorous Force.

The incoming arrows could initially break through the Vigorous Force with ease.

However, not long after, they would lose all their momentum within this layer of Vigorous Force and fall harmlessly aside.

Ren Daoheng ignored most of the arrows, only occasionally diverting his attention to block some particularly powerful rune-imbued arrows.

Most of his strength was focused on locking down Tie Xiaosheng.

The man was dressed in black Heavy Armor, sitting majestically on a Taishi Chair on the deck of the Iron Banner Gang’s Headquarters’ flagship.

This allowed all the gang members around him to clearly see him.

Behind Tie Xiaosheng was a large Iron Banner with the words ‘Iron Banner’ emblazoned on it, fluttering boldly.

At this time, much chaos had already erupted on the various large ships of the Iron Banner Gang.

More than one hundred thirty experts from the Seventeen Linked Wharves had stormed aboard the Iron Banner Gang’s combat ships, tying down most of their experts and forcing their archers into a miserable retreat, unable to shoot calmly.

Then, Ren Daoheng’s figure dove like an agile roc towards the flagship of the Iron Banner Gang’s Headquarters.

“Tie Xiaosheng!”

“Ren Daoheng!”

Tie Xiaosheng, who was sitting on the Taishi Chair, also slowly stood up, his gaze cold as he watched Ren Daoheng plummet from the sky.

At this moment, his heart was pounding fiercely, blood surging through every corner of his body with intense heat.

Tie Xiaosheng had bided his time here for three full hours, sacrificing thirty-four ships and a thousand lives, finally luring the Dragon Leader of the Seventeen Linked Wharves into the trap!

Just at this moment, over ten nearby large ships simultaneously opened their side gunwales, revealing the hundreds of Scorpion Crossbows inside, along with the crossbows’ dark-gleaming Heavy Arrows.

The Scorpion Crossbow was as powerful as the Four-Arm Crossbow, but its firing rate was more than three times faster; Tie Xiaosheng had also specially prepared poisoned Armor-Piercing Giant Arrows for Ren Daoheng.

When these Scorpion Crossbows fired simultaneously, even Ren Daoheng couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

But this scene was within his expectations; with a single swing of his sword, it was as if a swath of the Star River cascaded down.

In that instant, he miraculously gathered all the vapor from the Shenxiu River within ten miles, forming an immense sword aura.

This sword aura only swept away thirty Armor-Piercing Giant Arrows; the rest of the arrows were slightly delayed by the sword aura he wielded.

However, it was enough.

Ren Daoheng agilely maneuvered through the gaps in the rain of arrows.

Just then, Tie Xiaosheng on the deck suddenly drew his sword.

Stamping his foot, the flagship of ten thousand loads below him instantly bore the strain, sinking two zhang into the water.

Tie Xiaosheng then shot into the air like a cannon, heading straight for Ren Daoheng.

Ren Daoheng was slightly taken aback.

He hadn’t expected Tie Xiaosheng to boldly take to the air and engage him in mid-air combat.

A slight smirk then tugged at Ren Daoheng’s lips, a look of disdain flickering across his face.

This guy, does he think he’s the Iron Madman?

Choosing to combat him in the sky above the river was simply courting death!

Just then, Ren Daoheng had only just unleashed his Sword Intent and sword aura, at the moment his old strength had faded and new strength had not yet emerged.

Yet, relying on his innate Bloodline Talent, he managed to gather 60% of his Qi Power within an extremely short time, causing new Vigorous Force to surge into his sword.

When he swung his sword, shadows of black dragons appeared, commanding the ten-mile stretch of the river!

Just at that moment, Ren Daoheng’s pupils suddenly constricted, his expression turning into utter disbelief.
