Chapter 310: Three Strikes
```
"I know what happened!"
This sudden voice drew everyone's attention.
The speaker was the young man who had a conflict with Xiao Yi yesterday, and behind him was still the bald muscular man carrying a black heavy sword.
Seeing the crowd's gaze converging on himself, the youth's face flashed with excitement, and he strode forward to stand before the One-Eyed Dragon. With a cold expression, he said, "Boss One-Eyed Dragon, my name is Ren Wu, and I know what happened last night!"
"Hmm?"
One-Eyed Dragon squinted at him and said coldly, "Do you know what will happen if you lie?"
Ren Wu promptly patted his chest and said, "Who doesn't know of Boss One-Eyed Dragon's fame? How could I possibly deceive you?"
One-Eyed Dragon nodded and said, "Speak then, what exactly happened?"
"When I woke up this morning, I saw everyone on the ship was outside, except for one cabin whose door was closed." Ren Wu said with a malicious look, "That was cabin number ninety-eight 'A' class, the door was closed, and nobody from inside came out!"
Hiss!
Everyone's expressions changed in unison.
To know...
Even the captain, the One-Eyed Dragon at the peak of the Tao Tribulation Realm, appeared on deck without anyone noticing. And now someone was still hiding inside their own cabin?
"Cabin number ninety-eight 'A' class? Who was staying there?"
"Now that you mention it... I remembered, when I passed by there just now, I noticed that the window of cabin ninety-eight was shattered..."
"Who lives in cabin number ninety-eight? We must have him come out..."
Everyone was saying.
With a cold expression, Ren Wu's mouth curled slightly and he whispered to himself with a sneer, "Heh heh, you little bastard, this is what you get for provoking me. You're not dead yet?"
One-Eyed Dragon's remaining eye narrowed slightly, and with a wave of his hand, he said, "Gentlemen, please follow me to cabin number ninety-eight!"
The group set off together.
They arrived at the cabin where Xiao Yi was staying.
Knock knock knock!
The cabin door was knocked.
Xiao Yi opened the door and saw One-Eyed Dragon standing with a crowd blocking the doorway. He couldn't help but frown, "Is there something you need?"
One-Eyed Dragon scanned the inside of the cabin, indeed noticing the shattered window.
The cabin was also a mess.
Clearly, a fight had occurred.
In the cabin, aside from Xiao Yi, there was a masked girl lying asleep on the bed. One-Eyed Dragon and others felt even more suspicious of Xiao Yi, and One-Eyed Dragon asked in a deep voice, "Where were you last night?"
Xiao Yi answered frankly, "I was inside the cabin."
But considering those shadows seemed to be after the masked girl, he didn't reveal anything further.
Ren Wu, standing on his tiptoes among the crowd, called out, "See... I didn't lie, did I? We were all mysteriously on the deck, yet he was safely in his cabin. If you say this matter has nothing to do with him, I wouldn't believe it even if you beat me to death!"
"Young man, you better come clean. What exactly happened last night?"
"Is this incident related to you?"
"So many people have mysteriously disappeared, yet you are unharmed. You owe us an explanation!"
Everyone was speaking.
One-Eyed Dragon stared at Xiao Yi, enunciating each word, "You'd better not hide anything, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
He was extremely angry at the moment.
An eerie incident had occurred on the ship, and even his first mate had mysteriously disappeared.
He was currently brimming with fury.
Eager to find an outlet for his wrath.
Looking at One-Eyed Dragon without a hint of subservience, Xiao Yi said in a steady voice, "As I said, I was asleep in the cabin last night. It was your knocking that woke me up just now!"
"Sleeping? Then what happened here?" Ren Wu spoke with an eerie tone, "Don't tell me this was from your tossing and turning in sleep?"
```
The one-eyed Long Yi remained silent, but the cold light in his eyes grew increasingly icy.
Xiao Yi swept a disdainful glance at Ren Wu. That guy was causing a ruckus here, leading everyone to direct their hostility towards him. Xiao Yi snorted coldly, "It's the third time now!"
"Hmm?"
The crowd was startled.
Xiao Yi stared intently at Ren Wu and said coldly, "This is the third time you've provoked me. There won't be a fourth because you can die now!"
Ren Wu was taken aback, then burst into laughter, arrogant and fearless, "Kid, who do you think you are? You think just because you say I should die, I will? You don't even realize the situation you're in, and you're still thinking about killing..."
Before he could finish speaking.
Xiao Yi's figure had already moved past Long Yi and the others, appearing in front of him.
With a single hand raised, he directly grasped Ren Wu's neck and lifted him up.
"Save... save me..." Ren Wu grabbed desperately at Xiao Yi's hand, his legs flailing, his face filled with terror.
How Xiao Yi had appeared next to Ren Wu without anyone noticing was beyond them all.
The bald strongman was furious, "Let go of my brother!"
Hum!
The heavy sword slashed down towards Xiao Yi, edgeless but with enormous force.
Clang!
Amidst a crisp sound.
Xiao Yi casually lifted his left hand, and with just two fingers, he firmly clamped the heavy sword, his icy gaze falling onto the bald strongman, "Die!"
Bang!
With a tightening of his two fingers.
The heavy sword shattered, with countless fragments flying backwards, piercing through the bald strongman's body in a series of thuds, leaving him lying in a pool of blood.
Xiao Yi's eyes, cold as ice, looked at Ren Wu in his grasp, "You've provoked me several times, and now you even try to frame and harm me. I cannot tolerate you!"

"No, don't..."
Ren Wu was filled with regret.
He had thought that with Long Yi and the others present, Xiao Yi would surely be unable to do anything to him, hence he had instigated others and sowed discord. But now, facing a dominant Xiao Yi, none of the bystanders stepped forward to stop him.
Regret filled his heart.
But alas...
There is no medicine for regret in this world.
Crack!
Xiao Yi's palm clenched, and he crushed Ren Wu's neck, tossing him to the side. Only then did he turn back to Long Yi and the others, "Believe it or not, last night's affair has nothing to do with me."
The crowd exchanged glances.
Long Yi stared deeply at Xiao Yi; the bald strongman was a powerhouse of the Third Layer of Tao Tribulation Realm, yet he couldn't withstand a single move from Xiao Yi and was easily killed on the spot.
This was enough to discern that Xiao Yi's strength was far beyond what he showed, not merely at the First Layer of the Tao Tribulation Realm.
Long Yi squinted his eyes and said coldly, "You had better be honest. If I find out last night's incident is related to you, I will surely cut you down without mercy!"
Thud!
Xiao Yi closed the cabin door directly.
Long Yi and the others also left one after another. After all, with Xiao Yi's show of strength, they had no evidence and indeed could not continue to press him.
Inside the cabin.
Xiao Yi sensed that Long Yi and the others had left, waved his hand casually, and a burst of vital energy formed a barrier sealing the cabin. Xiao Yi patted his chest, and Little Lin emerged. Xiao Yi instructed, "Keep a watch on our surroundings!"
"Roger that, boss!"
Little Lin nodded its head and swam around the cabin.
Only then did Xiao Yi turn to the unconscious girl and said in a deep voice, "Since you're awake, stop pretending. Get up and let's talk. What exactly happened last night?"
