TheConqueroroftheUniverse

Chapter 42 Frightening Battles

"Mr. Ma, there is nothing wrong with that stupid Daniu."

Beside the lake, Cui Chenggang and Ma Yuan kept their eyes on Li Ping'an. He was less than fifty meters away from them, so it was ok for them to see his figure in spite of the vague sight in the storm and fog.

Especially in the center of the lake where the island was, there was no trace of mist, and the rain seemed to be lighter than the surrounding area, so the view was even clearer.

Having seen the gesture by Li Ping'an, Cui Chenggang was so excited that he was ready to dive into the lake.

Ma Yuan also narrowed his eyes, but he was not hurried to jump into the lake. In his hand, he only clutched or loosened his dagger from time to time.

Behind them, Lin Jianjia also got closer to the lake, biting her lips and looking at Ma Yuan and Cui Chenggang.

Although she didn't say anything, her movement showed that she was eager for the odd melon, too.

Looking at Lin Jianjia's attractive figure, Cui Chenggang said with a sneer, "Lin Jianjia, if you are obedient, I will give some benefit to you. If not, you will get into trouble."

Lin Jianjia nodded vigorously, "If you go over, I will watch out for you!"

When Cui Chenggang wanted to say something, Ma Yuan said in a cold voice, "Mr. Cui, you go first. When you arrive on the island, observe the situation before fetching the odd melon. The melon is unmatured. We can wait here for about one or two days. If we pick up the newly matured odd melon, it will be most valuable."

Cui Chenggang frowned, but he immediately understood Ma Yuan's intention. It was double insurance. After all, it was abnormal that there were not beasts guarding the odd melon.

He knew everything about Ma Yuan, including his evil deeds. Also, he was not afraid of being harmed by Ma Yuan.

He answered with a heavy nod, "Ok."

Clutching his dagger, he carefully jumped into the lake with a splatter.

Beside the island, Li Ping'an frowned.

"Sh*t. How could Ma Yuan be so cautious?"

He tried his best to find another solution.

He originally wanted to kill Ma Yuan and Cui Chenggang, but Ma Yuan was not tricked.

But Li Ping'an was not an indecisive person!

As a saying put, "A bird in the hand is worth ten in the bush."

He planned to slay Cui Chenggang and to run away after fetching the odd melon. Even if he had to battle with Ma Yuan, he was likely to win.

As he thought of this, Li Ping'an, who was floating in the lake, took out his sharp dagger with his right hand and held it tightly.

Although he had never killed anyone before, it didn't mean that he could not do it.

About twenty meters away from Cui Chenggang, Li Ping'an had a bleak chance to kill him who didn't wear a combat jacket.

Splattered.

On the shore of the lake, Cui Chenggang realized the lake water was warm, so he was no longer restrained, moving swiftly and sensitively as he swam toward Li Ping'an.

Lin Jianjia and Ma Yuan opened their eyes wide, staring at his back.

Li Ping'an also glanced at him and calculated the changing point of temperature.

After swimming out a dozen meters without danger, and with the water temperature still so comfortable, Cui Chenggang's tense nerves were gradually soothed considerably, and a smile even appeared at the corners of his mouth.

He thought in mind, "It's happier to enjoy something alone. When I safely step onto the island, I will kill Mr. Ma at a proper time. Lin Jianjia is mine at that time. Hehe. Oh, no."

Before Cui Chenggang's grim smile could be fully stretched out, his entire body suddenly stiffened.

He was surrounded by the horrible coldness, and he was like a worm trapped by the net, unable to move a bit.

Whoosh.

Before he called out to alert Ma Yuan at the edge of the lake that a sharp, cold blade, like a lightning bolt, was coming towards his throat.

"Li Daniu, you..."

Cui Chenggang's pupils suddenly dilated violently. After more than twenty years of living by the sword, he certainly understood what that cold aura was.

He didn't anticipate that Li Daniu, as silly as an ox, would dare to sneak attack him at such a time!

Affected by the coldness, he couldn't make any reactions. So, he could only watch, as he watched the terrifying cold mane, stabbing him in the throat.

Poof.

In an instant, the sharp blade pierced directly through the flesh and blood, severing Cui Chenggang's throat and sending tremors through his rigid head, as if a swift dart had flown into a target sign, sending it trembling.

This also showed how powerful Li Ping'an's strike really was.

Poof.

In the next instant, a terrifying scarlet liquid spurted out from Cui Chenggang's throat, spraying directly onto the deep, dark lake, but in an instant, it was washed away by the rainstorm and disappeared.

Cui Chenggang was dead, with his eyes open.

"Got it."

Li Ping'an quivered and fixed his eyes on the body of Cui Chenggang. He clenched his fists and whispered, "Is it the feeling of killing? It is like the feeling when I practiced throwing a knife to the dartboard."

It happened too fast and sudden.

Even with Ma Yuan's skills, he did not react at first.

As a veteran, he did it after one second and stared at Li Ping'an, as vicious as a wolf, "You bloke, how dare you are so bold?"

Swish.

As he said this, with a flick of his wrist, he threw the knife toward Li Ping'an, as swift as lightning.

"D*mn it."

Li Ping'an didn't expect that Ma Yuan would be so decisive even if he was ready for it.

Without thinking much, he jumped out of the lake like an agile fish, with the support of his waist. When he landed on the island, he rolled several times to avoid the dagger thrown by Ma Yuan.

Whoosh.

The next moment, Li Ping'an's sweat hair stood on end.

The dagger thrown by Ma Yuan flew right past the tip of Li Ping'an's nose.

Even though Li Ping'an had always gotten top grades in his flying dagger classes at school, Ma Yuan's s***h made Li Ping'an realize that how far he was from a real expert with a dagger!

Whoosh.

Whoosh.

Ma Yuan continued attacking him.

His first dagger didn't hit Li Ping'an, so he cast another six or seven toward Li Ping'an.

Li Ping'an didn't have time to hesitate. He quickly rolled and dived into the lake of the other side of the island.

But even with his speed of nearly 100 m/s, he was still struggling to dodge Ma Yuan's flying daggers.

If he faced the attack directly, he would be shot even if he would not be dead.

"What? How could this guy be so quick?"

Ma Yuan didn't expect that Li Ping'an could be so agile, so he held three daggers with one hand and stared at the area where Li Ping'an had disappeared to search for him.

Splattered.

The head of Li Ping'an appeared from surface of the lake not far away.

The lake was so mysterious that Li Ping'an didn't dare to dive deep or stay there for a long time. He planned to take a breath, hiding behind the trees on the island and Teling Herbs to avoid Ma Yuan.

Ma Yuan was adept at throwing knives, which was largely beyond the imagination of Li Ping'an.

Whoosh.

Swish.

When Li Ping'an popped out his head, Ma Yuan threw three daggers at the same time in the direction of Li Ping'an.

"D*mn it!"

When Li Ping'an cursed Ma Yuan, he wanted to dive into the lake, but at that very moment, Li Ping'an's pupils shrank!

He suddenly saw a familiar figure behind Ma Yuan.

She was holding a g*n.

Bang!

When Ma Yuan was about to take another dagger to throw it at Li Ping'an, the person behind him shot at his head directly.

Splash.

The next moment, the red laser ray shot through the head of Ma Yuan. His head, like a violently bursting watermelon, with the red blood and white brains squirting all over the ground.

Splattered.

Li Ping'an raised his head to see what had happened. He heard a familiar shout, "Li Daniu, come on. Fetch the odd melon and run back quickly. There is a huge creature in the lake."

Thanks to the improvement by the mysterious stone, Li Ping'an had acute eyesight and agile reaction.

Blocked by the rain and fog, he still saw Ma Yuan's miserable state and heard Lin Jianjia scream.

Li Ping'an felt that something horrible was in the lake as if some big, terrifying thing had been about to emerge.

Without overly thinking, Li Ping'an fetched the unmatured odd melon nimbly and put it into the pocket of his chest.

Without thinking much, he jumped into the lake and tried his best to swim toward the bank.

Li Ping'an swam as quickly as a flying fish, but Lin Jianjia was frightened, shooting at the creature behind him many times, and shouted, crying out, "Hurry up! It's already out!"

"Yelp."

Splattered.

Li Ping'an heard the horrible sound behind him and also smelled the foul creature, which was hard to describe.

His explosive power reached the limit, so he jumped out of the lake and onto the ground, knocking down Lin Jianjia and pressing her hand in which was a g*n.

Lin Jianjia opened her eyes wide. She didn't expect that since she had no malice towards Li Ping'an, this b*st*rd would dare to do this to her!

But her strength was no match for Li Ping'an, so her laser g*n was grabbed by him.

Bang, bang, bang.

Li Ping'an had no time to explain to Lin Jianjia. He couldn't exactly target the creature, so he shot it many times by instinct. Finally, he discarded the laser g*n whose energy had been run out of.

He pulled Lin Jianjia to her feet after taking hold of her hand, and shouted, "Run."
