or you to be posthumously awarded the title of Heroic Junior Captain, a rank of Seventh Grade!"Don't underestimate the status of a seventh-rank official. Many people spend their entire lives striving...A new fishing rod appeared in Zhang Liyang's hand, with a straight hook tied to the transparent fishing line.

The fishing hook fell into the river. Without bait and being a straight hook, it was impossible to catch any fish. However, Zhang Liyang didn't care. With his eyes slightly closed, the fishing rod in his hand also trembled slightly.

This was an idea that Lin Weihua gave to Zhang Liyang. Although Zhang Liyang chose the second method, fighting all day long wasn't realistic, so during his free time, Zhang Liyang still needed to use the first method.

Hook, line, and sinker!

According to Lin Weihua's method, Zhang Liyang needs to control the fishing rod to move the fishing line, and finally feel the movement of the fishing line in the river. When encountering fish, he can then control the fishing rod to use the hook to pierce through the fish in the river and reel it up.

This matter is difficult, after all, Zhang Liyang only has the cultivation of a qi-refining stage, while wanting to use a fishing rod to catch fish is something Lin Weihua heard from other places.

Lin Weihua didn't know that using a straight hook to fish was a skill honed in the final realm of the second environment.

Lin Weizhua didn't know, Zhang Liyang didn't know either, so the two of them taught and learned from each other. Zhang Liyang also spent his days sitting at the bow of the boat fishing.

The day before yesterday, Zhang Liyang didn't have any clue at all, let alone how to go fishing. It wasn't until he slowly calmed down that Zhang Liyang vaguely perceived the movement trajectory of the fishing line in the river.

As for whether the fishing line touched the fish and how to pierce the fish with a straight hook, Zhang Liyang was still far from that level.

For this kind of situation, Zhang Liyang can only attribute it to his control over his own power not being sufficient. As for Lin Weihua, he's just the one who came up with the idea; he won't care about the outcome.

In order to exert maximum control, Zhang Liyang sacrificed his evening rest time and continued practicing on the bow of the boat late into the night.

Under the cover of darkness, only the sound of waves lapping against the hull of the boat could be heard. In this stillness, Zhang Liyang felt his senses become even sharper.

Although the path of the fish lines in the river cannot still be controlled, it is much clearer than during the day.

Zhang Liyang, with renewed vigor, took a deep breath and continued his activity of fishing with a straight hook.

Fully absorbed, Zhang Liyang didn't notice that as he delved deeper into his work, his entire being grew weaker, like a piece of wood.

Splash!

With his eyes closed, an unusual sound came. Zhang Liyang's ears twitched a few times, and then he opened his eyes and looked to the other side of the bow.

The summer night sky isn't as dark as the winter one, but it is still incredibly dim in the later hours.

At this moment, within the river surface beneath this ship, a figure clad in black nightwear is slowly climbing aboard.

"Is this an assassin"

Onboard, Zhang Liyang stood there with keen interest, the peculiar aura hadn't dissipated yet, making it almost impossible for the other party to detect his presence.

As he was about to board the ship, the assassin slowly raised his head intending to observe the deck. To his surprise, what met his eyes was a figure, a figure that was staring right back at him!

"I..."

The sudden appearance of a figure froze the assassin in his tracks, and then, with a surge of energy, he forced himself to break free before fleeing.

But just at that instant, a fishing rod like a long spear shot out with lightning speed, aiming straight for his brow.

Slap~

A glimmer of darkness flashed, and a black dagger blocked just before his brow. Its sharp edge sliced Zhang Liyang's fishing rod cleanly in half.

"Want to leave"

The Earth Emperor Step was deployed, and Zhang Liyang instantly transformed into a phantom, arriving beside the assassin. His palm slashed diagonally towards the opponent's heart!

"Kill!"

Seeing that he could not escape, the assassin also wielded his dagger and thrust it straight at Zhang Liyang.

"Poisonous"

Before the dagger arrived, Zhang Liyang's nose tip caught a sweet scent, accompanied by a dizzying sensation that made him bite his tongue lightly while his whole body retreated like willow branches swaying in the wind.

This time, it's the assassins' turn to launch an attack!

The pitch-black dagger was almost transparent in the dim night, only the mournful wind and the sweet scent lingered around.

If an ordinary person faced a double attack from an assassin, they would inevitably be flustered and give the assassin the opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

But this time, the assassin picked the wrong opponent!

With a slight twitch of his nose, Zhang Liyang acted as if he was oblivious to the poisonous aura surrounding him. He charged forward, ignoring the sharp dagger aimed at him and met the assassin's strike with a powerful palm strike.

"Humph, looking for death!"

Seeing Zhang Liyang’s attack, the assassin's heart leaped with joy. He knew that the poison on his dagger was potent. Not only would it be fatal upon contact, but even inhaling a few whiffs would cause dizziness and disorientation.

With just these two things, this assassin doesn't know how many people he has killed. Tonight, he will reap the rewards of his victory as always!

Awwww...

The dagger, coupled with the arm thrust, pierced Zhang Liyang's heart before his palm arrived.

"Hmm"

A dull, knife-like sensation came as his strike was blocked. The assassin's heart sank; this wasn't going as planned. At the same time, Zhang Liyang's palm had already reached him.

"Flash!"

At the crucial moment, the assassin's body contorted, like a wisp of blue smoke instantly leaving Zhang Liyang's grasp.

But Zhang Liyang's palm strike was too ferocious, even if he dodged quickly, he was still blasted by Zhang Liyang and spat out blood.

There's still a chance!

The assassin did not flee despite being injured. He firmly believed Zhang Liyang would inevitably succumb to the poison, feeling his mission could still be accomplished.

"Do you want me to be poisoned" Zhang Liyang's eyes flashed with cold light, his figure flickering like a terrifying mountain of power as he launched another attack.

"Impossible!"

Seeing that Zhang Liyang was still so fierce, the assassin's face was filled with astonishment. He didn't know why Zhang Liyang could ignore his bet, but it was clear that if he didn't leave now, he might die here!

Suppressing the shock within, the assassin's figure twisted and flickered again, attempting to escape using Phantom Step. However, Zhang Liyang, who had been prepared for this, was not about to let his captured prey fly away!

"Cut gold and jade!"

The power of the divine arts surged within his grasp, and at the edges of his hand, white gold gleamed. Zhang Liyang's palm speed instantly increased threefold.

Grimacing

Blood spurted, a head the size of a fist tumbled into the river in the midst of the chaos.

Phew~

In one breath, Zhang Liyang's body operated another divine power. The poison that had already been absorbed by Zhang Liyang's body was suppressed under this divine power and had no effect whatsoever.

As the palm rose, with the operation of divine power, a phantom petal of black and gray materialized in Zhang Liyang's palm. The black and gray petal faintly carried a sweet scent.

If the assassin were still alive, he would undoubtedly recognize this as the poison he had applied to his dagger!

In fact, Zhang Liyang wasn't without poison. It was his internal supernatural power that suppressed the poison, and afterward, Zhang Liyang used his supernatural power to expel it from his body.

This is the Double-Petiole Tianque!ded. Subsequently, Qu Xu's body flew backwards, landing with a flush on his face and retreating three steps.But Zhang Liyang's body flipped several times in the air before continuing to plummet downwa...
