Chapter 432: Chapter 462: Encounter with Bandits

Fang Yi’s words were completely insulting, yet they couldn’t refute them.

At the beginning, they might have thought Fang Yi was boasting, and they would have become furious—then show Fang Yi what they were capable of.

But now, Fang Yi was holding one of their colleagues, and whether that colleague fell into the river depended on Fang Yi’s choice.

They wanted to threaten, but Fang Yi’s expression was cold and unafraid, so it was better not to say anything.

Seeing Zheng Shaoyang and the others all furious, Fang Yi remained unchanged in expression, but suddenly, he laughed soundlessly, which again provoked Zheng Shaoyang and his group’s nerves.

Fang Yi picked up Yang Wei, dropped him on the deck, and said lightly, "Want to challenge again?"

Yang Wei gritted his teeth and said, "Just now... it was just an accident, let’s go again!"

Fang Yi sneered and said, "Again? Aren’t you afraid that this time I might throw you into the river to feed the fish?"

"..." Yang Wei had nothing to say.

Actually, during their fist collision just now, Yang Wei had already realized that Fang Yi’s strength was definitely superior to his. Even though he was a guard and had won grappling fighting championships, against Fang Yi, he truly felt powerless.

Fang Yi turned and walked away; he had nothing to say to Zheng Shaoyang and the others.

Just as he left the deck and turned a corner, he saw Cai Qin leaning against the wall with a smirk.

Fang Yi asked, "What’s up?"

Cai Qin laughed and said, "Nothing much, but it’s pretty funny that the mighty Abandoned Dragon is bullying a few drug-interdiction guards."

Fang Yi was taken aback for a moment, "Is it really that funny?"

Cai Qin nodded, "Seeing you now, I don’t know why, but I kind of want to laugh."

"..."

Fang Yi didn’t bother discussing this with Cai Qin and planned to go back to his cabin to sleep and regain energy. But just then, a sudden shout came from the pilot booth at the bow of the ship, followed by noisy clamor from the fisherman.

The fisherman was speaking not only in Xuan Cang Language but also mixing in some Jinsi City Language, making it incomprehensible.

Fang Yi and Cai Qin exchanged a glance and immediately rushed to the pilot booth at the bow. Shortly after they arrived, Li Xue and Zheng Shaoyang, along with others, arrived as well.

"What happened!" Zheng Shaoyang asked loudly.

"Shut up!" Fang Yi shouted sternly.

Zheng Shaoyang immediately shut his mouth, not daring to underestimate Fang Yi after his display of strength on the deck.

"Give me the binoculars!" Fang Yi demanded, stretching out his hand.

"Here!" Li Xue quickly handed Fang Yi a pair of binoculars.

Fang Yi brought the binoculars to his eyes and looked ahead; the river surface rippled, and about two hundred meters away, a faint light illuminated and was approaching them.

It was nighttime, the visibility was extremely low, and being able to see clearly with binoculars from over two hundred meters was already lucky. The fisherman was probably shouting earlier because of this reason—it must be said his eyesight was too good.

Fang Yi, proficient in many languages, was not so fluent in Jinsi City Language but still understood some, and immediately ordered in Jinsi City Language, "Turn off the lights right now!"

"We can’t... can’t turn them off..." the fisherman said.

"Why not?"

"There’s a monster in the river!" the fisherman replied.

"Monster?" Fang Yi thought to himself, now monsters were being dragged into it?

Fang Yi didn’t bother to talk further with the fisherman, turning and quickly commanded towards Zheng Shaoyang and a few others behind him, "You two, grab the lifebuoys and get into the water, await instructions. You two, go to the top of the cabin and prepare the guns. When I give the order, fire immediately!"

But those men didn’t move, and seemed somewhat bewildered as they looked towards Zheng Shaoyang for guidance. Fang Yi also looked at him.

This left Zheng Shaoyang looking confused. He hadn’t expected Fang Yi to take command, unsure of what to think. However, Li Xue couldn’t hold back any longer and immediately shouted, "Zheng Shaoyang, what the hell are you waiting for? Do you want me to suspend you, get moving!"

Zheng Shaoyang snapped out of it and promptly said, "Did you all hear that? Do as he said!"

Thus, several narcotics guards scrambled and hurried to get ready.

"You!" Fang Yi pointed at Zheng Shaoyang’s nose and ordered, "You stand at the bow!"

"Why?" Zheng Shaoyang instinctively retorted.

"Because... I want you as a target!" Fang Yi said with a smile, though his tone was sinister.

...

Five minutes later, everything was in place.

The fisherman had been pulled down, and they would still need the fisherman to steer the boat later, so he couldn’t afford any mishaps. So now, Fang Yi was steering the boat and he could handle not just a fishing vessel but even a cruiser.

Two boats gradually approached—also fishing vessels—but appearing on the Yuyun River in the dead of night, it was eerily suspicious for two fishing vessels to show up, and nobody would believe they had good intentions.

Of course, Fang Yi wouldn’t take action now, but once he was certain that the other party harbored hostile intentions, he would reveal their fangs.

Eventually, the three fishing boats finally met, and another vessel approached head-on. Fang Yi had to stop his own vessel, and at the opposing bow, a man with a scraggly beard carrying a machine gun walked out, facing Fang Yi.

Fang Yi took the lead with a phrase in Jinsi City dialect, "Who are you? We are tourists, please make way!"

Upon hearing this, the bearded man smirked and responded, "We’re bandits!"

Clearly, the bearded man thought Fang Yi and his group were defenseless tourists—easy prey!

Moreover, when the bearded man saw Cai Qin and Li Xue next to Fang Yi, greed sparked in his eyes, thinking that he had to take this opportunity and capture those two gorgeous women—one for his leader and one for himself to play with.

However, the bearded man failed to notice that after he revealed they were bandits, Fang Yi didn’t show any sign of fear—instead, he even smiled.

Fang Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, twisted his head from side to side, and said with a smile, "Ladies, he says they’re bandits."

Li Xue’s eyes gleamed sharply and she coldly declared, "That’s exactly the gang of bandits I was looking for!"

As for Cai Qin, she casually said, "Who cares whether they’re bandits or not, since they’re here, let’s have some fun killing a few."

Fang Yi completely agreed with Cai Qin’s words, as this place was no longer Xuan Cang.

While he was in Xuan Cang, Fang Yi had some restraint and tried his best not to kill, but here, no longer within the borders of Xuan Cang and amidst such remote wilderness atop Cloud River Jade under a moonless, windy night, there was no need for Fang Yi to hold back.

Without another word, Fang Yi bellowed, "Move!"

The narcotics guards lying in wait sprung into action.

Bang, bang!

Gunshots rang out.

The bearded man, hearing the gunfire, immediately ducked to avoid exposure.

"You two are free to act as you please, just don’t get into trouble," Fang Yi said lightly to the two women before rushing towards the opposite side.

Fang Yi began to show his fangs.
