"Uh... in that case, let's not go!"

Upon hearing Qin Fang say this, Chen Liang and the others were frightened into silence. They had barely managed to survive, so they didn't want to throw their lives away again—it was simply not worth it.

"Moreover... one of Japan's Three Great Ninja, Ando Sasuke, is on the island!"

It was only then that Qin Fang slowly added a sentence.

Indeed, Ando Sasuke was within the island, but he had long turned into a cold corpse, already devoured by the Yin Wind Wolf... However, only Qin Fang knew this, and the others were unaware.

Therefore, when Qin Fang said it at this moment, it was still the truth, just with a slight omission, which was of no consequence... After all, such high-ranking figures were not ones that Chen Liang and the other martial artists could come into contact with.

"Ando Sasuke? One of Japan's Three Great Ninja... hiss!!!"

Chen Liang and the others were somewhat low-level and had never heard of Ando Sasuke's name, but they had heard of Japan's Three Great Ninja... at least, they knew that the killing demon Izumiya Ichiro was one of the Three Great Ninja.

While Supreme Realm Spiritual Beasts seemed too distant from them, Ninja-level Japanese ninjas were something they had come into slight contact with. Just now, the one killed by Qin Fang was a Ninja-level expert, someone they were utterly powerless against.

Even if the three of them risked their lives, they still wouldn't stand a chance against any one of the ninjas... what's more, Ando Sasuke was one of the famous Japan's Three Great Ninja, among the strongest of the Ninja-level, who could kill them dozens of times over in the blink of an eye.

"If you don't want to die, let's go..."

Having said what needed to be said, Qin Fang had already laid it out. Chen Liang and the others should know how to choose... Of course, if they were really that stubborn, Qin Fang had nothing else to say.

"Go, go, go..."

Luckily, these three guys had been terribly frightened by the events earlier, having nearly stepped into The Gates of Hell. Now that Qin Fang saved them, they had no desire to experience it again. All of them expressed the wish to fly back to the Tian Nan Sect immediately.

"There's a ship over there. Let's hope it hasn't been taken yet..."

Qin Fang pointed in a certain direction in the distance and said this. Earlier, while searching for Chen Liang and the others, he had spotted the ship. However, after so much time had passed, he couldn't be sure if someone else had already taken it.

Based on Qin Fang's estimation, among the martial artists who landed on the island, only a few might still be alive by now... Most of them had either died in fights against each other or were killed by hidden spiritual beasts, with even more having been dealt with by the Japanese.

However, Chen Liang and the others' survival didn't mean others couldn't be just as lucky.

Should someone discover the ship and use the chaos to sail away back to the cruise ship they came from, it wouldn't be impossible...

"Not bad, the ship's still there... Get on the ship immediately!"

When Qin Fang and the others saw the ship, they beamed with joy. The ship was still there and hadn't been taken... It was a very ordinary lifeboat, not particularly large, but it could still hold three to five people without any issue. Even if squeezed, seven or eight could barely make do.

Qin Fang and his group were four in total, so the ship was enough for them...

However...

"Damn, it's Fatty Song..."

But before these words were even out for ten seconds, three people emerged from the jungle, rushing towards the ship in a sorry state. Chen Liang and the others immediately recognized them—it was Fatty Song Zhiwei from Yunhai Sect.

"It seems they're not much better off than us..."

At this moment, Song Zhiwei and his group looked disheveled, their clothes in tatters, and they seemed willing to even abandon their weapons as they frantically headed towards the lifeboat, clearly eager to leave the island.

"Hold on..."

Due to the distance, Song Zhiwei and his team were slightly ahead of Qin Fang and his group in reaching the lifeboat and were about to row away... They even pretended not to see Chen Liang and the others.

Seeing this scene, Chen Liang hastily shouted...

"Chen Liang, don't blame me, Fatty Song, for being ungenerous. This boat is only so big; you guys will have to find another way!"

Once on the boat, Fatty Song visibly calmed, even managing a smug smile towards Chen Liang and his group before directing his fellow sect members to row away from the island.

Holding a longsword, Fatty Song stood in front of Qin Fang and the others, clearly intent on preventing them from boarding the ship...

"Fatty Song, don't push it too far..."

Seeing Fatty Song's actions, Chen Liang's expression became extremely sullen, almost gritting his teeth as he spoke.

"You and I are equally matched in strength. Even in our prime, we are just about the same. But now, both you and Ling Fei are seriously injured, and these two kids are even more negligible, totally not a match for our fellow disciples... Even if I bully you, so what?"

Song Zhiwei is indeed very despicable. Clearly, this boat can take everyone on board, but this guy intends not to let Chen Liang and the others board. Even the reason for refusal is stated so arrogantly, showing that this person's heart is not very generous.

"You..."

Chen Liang's face turned bluish-purple, all angered by this Fatty Song.

"Whatever you say is useless... Our two Great Sects are mortal enemies. This time, our Yunhai Sect suffered heavy losses. However... as long as you all die on this island, then all the losses are worth it! Hahaha..."

Fatty Song truly did not conceal his ambition at all, looking recklessly at Qin Fang and the other three, then laughing wildly as he prepared to board the boat and leave.

"Ah..."

However, his laughter was indeed arrogant, but it suddenly stopped like a duck being choked.

Then, Song Zhiwei's chubby body, like a ball, was lifted up by someone. His thick neck seemed to thin considerably in an instant... at least there was a section that was very thin, because there was a wrist there.

"Idiot!"

It was only then that Chen Liang sneered disdainfully, then together with Ling Fei, rushed towards the lifeboat... The person who grabbed Song Zhiwei's neck was, of course, Qin Fang, who originally didn't want to get involved.

Song Zhiwei hadn't really regarded Qin Fang much earlier, even now he was the same... But when Qin Fang's iron grip seized his throat, it was as if he had been struck by lightning.

Looking at this ludicrously young person in front of him, Song Zhiwei really couldn't imagine why with his cultivation close to the Master Level Peak, he was so powerless, easily subdued like this, and his whole body was completely unable to resist.

Bang~~

Yet, before he could react, he felt his body become like a human cannonball, flying straight out... then heavily hitting something, the strong impact almost making his internal organs tremble, nearly making him throw up.

"Ah~~~ ah~~"

However, as he hit something, it was accompanied by two screams, sounding quite familiar.

Plop, plop, plop~~~

But soon, he fell heavily into the water, along with two other figures, shockingly, his two fellow disciples... It was the two who were rowing the boat just earlier.

Just like that, three people from the Yunhai Sect were thrown into the sea; Chen Liang and Ling Fei naturally took control of the lifeboat easily, and the four people immediately boarded the small boat, ready to row back to the cruise ship.

"Help... help me!"

Seeing this scene, Song Zhiwei and the other two were dumbfounded, then desperately swam towards the lifeboat, shouting as they swam.

These three weren't exactly foolish; once Qin Fang and the others' boat left, they would only have two options... One was to return to the Little Island and wait for the Yunhai Sect to come for rescue, the other was to swim several kilometers in the sea to the cruise ship.

But... what would be the result of these two paths?

On the Little Island, there are not only treasures but fierce spiritual beasts as well; they are basically no match for them, and encountering them would be a dead end... Not to mention the Japanese are also on the island, and upon seeing them, they would be slain without mercy.

It's obvious that the first path is not feasible...

And from their current location, the cruise ship is at least several kilometers away; for experts with their Grandmaster Level cultivation, swimming across a few kilometers of water doesn't count much... but the problem is, in such a sea, they can't see the position of the cruise ship at all. If they swim off course, they will be in even greater danger... Not realizing in time, they would only drown in the sea.

Moreover, the sea is not very peaceful; there might even be some Great White Shark or other ferocious beast attacking... Maybe on land they could capture tigers and leopards, but in the sea... they are far inferior.

"Hmph... What were you doing earlier? If you weren't harboring ill intentions... would you really have ended up like this?"

Seeing the predicament of Song Zhiwei and the other three, Chen Liang couldn't help but sneer.

If it weren't for what happened before, given that everyone was in trouble, they could have set aside their feuds and left the sinking ship together... so everyone would be fine!

But Fatty Song Zhiwei harbored ill intentions, planning to take control of this boat while Chen Liang and the others were seriously injured, and push them all to their deaths on this Little Island... With that kind of mindset, Chen Liang is now just repaying him in kind. (To be continued.
