I Have A Martial Dao World

Zhao Sanduo and Fu Fangsheng had no scares when taking over this side.

The most formidable fighters on the ship were the ten red-eyed, snarling Western demon beasts.

These demon beasts were unlike those they had seen before, not gentlemanly figures in suits and carrying handkerchiefs.

Instead, they wore wide-brimmed hats, jeans, leather jackets, and neckerchiefs adorned with prints, a total cowboy look.

They were struck by a storm of silver bullets, their bodies smoking white and retreating with piercing screams, one after another turning to dust.

The followers of the Linjiang Gang were only there to steer the ship. Their combat abilities were limited, and they had no chance against two Blood-Exchange Warriors, most of them being captured alive.

With that, the group easily took over the ship carrying the female children.

Fu Fangsheng exclaimed, "This gun packs a punch! It's to my liking!"

Zhao Sanduo, handling the gun with a trembling voice, said, "Each shot from this costs a taels of silver... it's too extravagant!"

"You've always been too penny-pinching," Fu Fangsheng said. "Let's go—go help Lu... Damn, where did the abbey on the hill go!?"

The original plan was to take the ship and have the brothers with lower skills navigate towards Jinling to escape any possible pursuit.

Moreover, there were countless bustling towns along the Yangtze River where they could easily settle these pitiful girls.

Meanwhile, the two of them, along with Jiang Daming and other skilled fighters, were to rush to Lu Yao's aid!

After all, there was a regular army in the abbey, and even if the Lu family was incredibly tough, they couldn't hold out for too long in a hail of bullets.

But to their surprise, in the blink of an eye... the abbey on the hill had vanished, leaving only smoking ruins.

One of the younger men in his twenties who had taken part in seizing the ship immediately climbed up to the crow's nest and looked out with a telescope for a long time before shouting down, "The Sacred Heart Institute has been flattened!"

"Really!?" Fu Fangsheng, close to this young man, directly asked, "He Kui, are you sure you saw clearly?"

The young man named He Kui shouted, "Brother Fu, I'm absolutely sure, it's just ruins now. And there are four figures, probably Young Master Lu and his people. They are heading this way."

Everyone looked at each other and then broke into smiles.

Zhao Sanduo sighed with emotion, "Brother Lu... is truly unfathomable. If we were any slower, we would have ended up needing them to back us up instead."

Fu Fangsheng, however, wasn't surprised, "I've heard long ago that his entire family are Spirit Refining Experts. It seems that wasn't an overstatement."

Everyone clicked their tongues in wonder, endlessly praising him, agreeing that Lu Yao was indeed a Spirit Refining Expert able to achieve what others couldn't.

But since things had gone so smoothly, there was no need to rush to escape on the boat.

They pried open the hold to check on the condition of the girls.

~~~~~~~~

"Listen up, little ones, we're here to save you. Move back, we're going to open the hatch~"

After the young man named He Kui shouted, he struggled to pry the iron chains off the hatch.

"What the hell did these damn beasts chain it up for!?"

"Maybe they were afraid the accompanying demon beasts would sneak a meal? They were drooling over the girls."

When the people entered the hold, their faces instantly changed.

In the cramped, foul-smelling hold, girls were packed as tight as sardines in a can.

The oldest among them, no older than seven; the youngest just three.

They all wore filthy, colorless clothing, all yellowed and emaciated, full of panic and fear, huddling together and shivering.

"Damn it, these despicable demon beasts!"

Upon seeing such a scene, the rough men couldn't help but curse.

But after cursing, they realized that none of them knew how to comfort children, awkward and unsure of what to do.

He Kui had a brighter idea, shouting, "Go and get the food from the ship! The way to a kid's heart is through their stomach~"

Everyone agreed, and soon two men went to get food.

Fu Fangsheng, looking at these little girls, kept his face tense. His sister had been abducted at roughly their age.

Zhao Sanduo spoke up, "If your sister was at the abbey... It would be a mercy for the Lu family to give her peace."

Fu Fangsheng nodded: "I know, I might not be able to do it myself. She still looks the same..."

While speaking, Fu Fangsheng's face suddenly changed dramatically, and he bellowed: "He Kui! Get out of the way!!!"

~~~~~~~~~

The young man named He Kui was quite special among a group of rugged men.

His skin was fair, and his features delicate, just like Fu Fangsheng, both considered "pretty boys" in the traditional sense.

But upon hearing about this matter, he followed without hesitation and hadn't flinched from beginning to end.

At this moment, He Kui was holding a big pancake, tearing it into pieces and handing them out to the little girls.

While doing so, he suddenly noticed a little girl in a western dress sitting in the corner with her knees hugged, not coming up to take the pancake.

Thinking the little girl was scared, He Kui proactively approached, smiled warmly, and said, "Come and eat, we will set sail for Jinling soon, and everything will be alright..."

But before he could finish, the little girl interrupted: "Jinling? It's to the west..."

The little girl looked no more than 12 years old, fair and delicate, out of place among the other girls.

He Kui was momentarily stunned, then said, "Yes, Jinling is along the Yangtze River to the west."

"I can't let the boat go west, sorry, big brother~"

[He Kui! Get out of the way!!!]

Right at that moment, Fu Fangsheng charged over with a roar!

He Kui instinctively turned to look, still not fully comprehending what was happening. But he suddenly realized that his perspective was getting higher and kept tumbling.

The next second, he saw a headless corpse that looked familiar to him.

Catching He Kui's bewildered, blood-dripping head, Fu Fangsheng's eyes split with fury: "Ahhh! I've killed you!"

Stomping the cabin into a spray of wood chips, Fu Fangsheng launched "Thunder Rush Palm" and shot forth like lightning.

The little girl's figure blurred and vanished, followed by several explosive sounds in the air!

The next second, Fu Fangsheng flew back even faster than he had come, smashing a huge hole in the cabin and crashing onto the dock!

The little girl, unhurried, picked up the hem of her dress and walked out through the big hole.

She was wearing a purple western dress, leather boots on her feet, black silk stockings on her legs, and an iris flower hairpin on her head; a dark and elegant style was fully displayed.

By then, everyone had already gathered around, and seeing He Kui's demise, they became furious!

Zhao Sanduo quickly shouted, "The demon beast is dangerous! Stand back!"

Vampires were exceedingly agile, and those without enough strength would only hinder if they got too close.

With resentment, the crowd retreated to form a battle line, leaving the arena to the powerhouses.

~~~~~~~~

The little girl did not bother with the riff-raff, coming straight to Fu Fangsheng and said with a smile, "Brother, you are really weak. But... your blood is quite delicious."
Stay tuned with empire

She... Its eyes turned red, fangs protruded, and it meticulously licked clean the blood that stained its hand.

Fu Fangsheng rose from the ground and muttered, "Fu Qianqian... is it you?"

The little girl giggled, "People now call me—Wendy."

Fu Fangsheng looked at his sister who had disappeared for 20 years but still looked like a 12-year-old, his hands trembling slightly, and asked quaveringly, "These years... have you been well?"

Wendy replied sweetly, "Very well~ My master bestowed upon me the first embrace, fixing my appearance forever at life's most beautiful moment."

It pulled open its collar to reveal a small neck, showing two distinct bite marks.

"Master..." Fu Fangsheng's eyes twitched violently: "You are not from the Sacred Heart Institute?"

"Hmm~ I just came to buy things for my master. After eating a few crew members, they locked me in the cabin, really stingy~"

Wendy patted her lavish dress, excitement on her face: "Brother~ Your soul is boiling! Your blood will be even more delicious!!!"

Fu Fangsheng pressed and twisted his thumb forcefully against several acupoints on his body, a secret method to stimulate bodily eruption called "Devastating Desperation."

He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Little sister, it was my fault for carelessly losing you that year; all faults are mine. Today, even if I have to risk my life, I will help you find peace!"
