Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Crossing the River on a Single Reed_1

Three days passed swiftly.

In the dawn of the third day, when only the first pale light of dawn appeared, everything was still shrouded in the dim darkness.

On the outskirts of River City, by the ceaseless torrents of the Yangtze River, a group of people stood in the darkness, craning their necks and looking around expectantly.

Among this group, the leading figures were none other than Bao Hankang, Bao Longfei, and the two brothers Xiong Da and Xiong Er.

"Dad, could it be that the so-called master won’t show up?" Bao Longfei frowned and said.

Bao Hankang’s face darkened as he scolded, "Shut up! I’m telling you, when you see the master later, don’t be disrespectful again! If Ning Fan could break your legs, couldn’t a master who is ten times more formidable than Ning Fan do the same?"

Bao Longfei’s face turned pale upon hearing this and he said viciously, "Dad, is that master really ten times more formidable than Ning Fan?"

Bao Hankang said in a heavy voice, "There are no mediocrities in the Divine Tune Sect! Even if that master is not ten times stronger than Ning Fan, he is at least five times stronger!"

As it turned out, the Black Bear Gang led by Xiong Da and Xiong Er was backed by the Bao Family.

For this Ghost Festival Boxing Meeting, they had also been seeking martial arts masters everywhere and somehow got in touch with the Divine Tune Sect.

At this moment, they were waiting for the arrival of the master from the Divine Tune Sect.

"Great! Dad, let that master smash all of Ning Fan’s bones! I want to make his life worse than death!" Bao Longfei said excitedly.

"Mr. Bao, Young Master Bao, look over there!"

"Look down the river!"

At this moment, Xiong Da and Xiong Er suddenly pointed at something on the Yangtze River and shouted in alarm.

Everyone promptly looked downstream,

and as the shadow drew closer, they could finally see that it was a person.

The man was clad in a blue changshan, his hands clasped behind his back.

What was strange was that there was nothing beneath his feet—he was standing on the surface of the water out of thin air!

Even more bizarre, not only was he standing on the water, but he was also moving upstream against the current at a rapid pace!

"Is..is this the master from the Divine Tune Sect?"

"Even if he is the master from the Divine Tune Sect, it’s impossible to stand on the water and move upstream without moving a muscle, right?"

"Could it be that this person is standing on a small submarine?"

The crowd was utterly astonished and began to speculate wildly.

"Let’s go, to the river bank to meet him,"

Bao Hankang decided promptly and led the people to the lowest part of the riverbank.

It wasn’t long before the middle-aged man in the blue changshan moved to the shore and lightly lifted a foot, stepping from the surface of the water onto the bank.

"Is that... reeds???"

Bao Longfei pointed at a section of reeds that appeared out of nowhere on the river, screaming in shock.

Upon closer inspection, indeed, floating right where the middle-aged man’s feet had been on the water’s surface was a single reed, drifting with the current, soon to be out of sight.

It turned out that the middle-aged man had been standing on a reed and traveled upstream against the current!

"Sir, are you the esteemed master from the Divine Tune Sect?" Bao Hankang asked, his voice trembling.

"To cross the Yangtze River on a single reed, moving against the current—master, you are truly divine!"

"Today is truly an eye-opener! It’s nothing short of a miracle!"

Xiong Da and Xiong Er exclaimed in admiration.

The middle-aged man glanced over the group and finally said to Bao Hankang, "You must be Bao Hankang, right? I am Yan Hu from the Divine Tune Sect."

"Indeed, it’s the master from the Divine Tune Sect! Master Yan, let’s go. The Ghost Festival Boxing Meeting is at noon," Bao Hankang said, nodding and bowing.

"Is that damn boxing meeting today at noon? I originally wanted to go kill someone first, but now it seems there might not be enough time," Yan Hu murmured, frowning slightly.

"Master Yan, by any chance do you have enemies even in a small place like River City?" Bao Hankang asked, puzzled.

"Hmm, a young man named Ning Fan, he claims to have killed our Divine Tune Sect’s Cui Laosi. Although Cui Laosi was just a worthless piece of trash, he was still trash of the Divine Tune Sect. That Ning Fan dared to kill him, which means he is an enemy of the Divine Tune Sect! He must die!" Yan Hu said coldly.

"What? Master Yan, the person you want to kill is called Ning Fan?" Bao Hankang suddenly exclaimed with joy.

"Why, does he have a connection with your Bao Family? Let me make this clear, even if this Ning Fan is associated with you, I will still kill him without hesitation!" Yan Hu said.

"No, no, no! Master Yan, you misunderstand, why would our Bao Family have any connection with Ning Fan? Not only do we have no connection with Ning Fan, on the contrary, we have deep enmity and hatred with that damned man! Initially, I wanted to ask Master Yan for your help in dealing with Ning Fan after the Ghost Festival Boxing Meeting. Now it seems, it is truly fate!" Bao Hankang said excitedly and repeatedly.

"Indeed, this is fate! Master Yan, may I make a small request? Before you deal with Ning Fan, don’t kill him immediately. First break all the bones in his body, then allow me to properly humiliate him before you kill him?"

Bao Longfei, too, leapt up excitedly, unable to suppress the images in his mind of how to humiliate and torment Ning Fan!

"Considering your Bao Family has presented ten billion to the Divine Tune Sect, I agree," Yan Hu said indifferently.

"Haha! Good, very good! Master Yan, let’s go. We’ll dominate at the Ghost Festival Boxing Meeting, claim supremacy over River City’s underworld, and then let Ning Fan roll over and come to his death," Bao Hankang laughed heartily.
