Top-tier Unruly Master

Liu Qingwei truly had not expected Li Gang to be such a scoundrel.

Any man, when his girlfriend, his fiancée, was in danger, would do everything in his power to rescue her. But not Li Gang.

Just to save his own life, he had actually been willing to hand his own girlfriend over to these pirates.

Aside from her heartbreak, Liu Qingwei was now even more afraid, as several pirates had already started to approach her.

This was the deep ocean, in international waters, where even if someone was killed, no one would care. Now, surrounded by these hungry wolves, what good could come to her?

"I'll take the first turn, and then let the brothers have their fill!" after Scar-face said this, he waved his hand grandly at his subordinates. "Drag this wench to the cockpit."

"Understood, Boss!"

The two pirates, putting away their submachine guns, strode towards Liu Qingwei. "Come on, girl, you're in for some fun. So many men here to take care of you..."

One pirate on each side, they grabbed Liu Qingwei's arms and began to drag her toward the cockpit.

"Help! Help me! Li Gang, save me..." Liu Qingwei's cries were filled with utter helplessness.

"Liu Qingwei, just give in. Only then can you save your life..." Li Gang continued to advise from the side.

"You beast..." Liu Qingwei screamed tearfully.

However, Li Gang acted as if he saw nothing. In his eyes, as long as he could save his own life, he would be willing to do it, even if it meant offering the lives of his father and mother.

Whoosh... Just as the two pirates had barely dragged Liu Qingwei a few steps away, two Wind Blades swept through and sliced them down.

Splash... Blood instantly sprayed across the deck. The incident happened so swiftly that by the time everyone looked over, the two pirates had been cleaved into halves.

At this moment, the two men were dead beyond doubt!

"Who..."

Even a tough cookie like Scar-face seemed deeply disturbed.

To cut someone in half with a single blow, Scar-face had ended many lives with his hands, but such a method of killing was something he had only seen once in his life.

What was even more eerie was that the people had been killed, but the killer had not appeared. Who the murderer was, how they killed, Scar-face knew nothing, which for that reason alone, caused an unsettling panic.

Scar-face was tense, and so were all the other pirates. In an instant, many of the other pirates cocked their submachine guns.

"Anyone who doesn't want to die, get lost!"

Without any warning, two figures appeared out of nowhere in front of Liu Qingwei, as if by magic.

The ones who had suddenly appeared were none other than Zhou Ruoran and Ding Fan, with the talker naturally being Ding Fan.

After that man known as Uncle Wang was killed, Ding Fan and Zhou Ruoran used Sword Control to hide in the void. They could see everything happening on the deck, and when Scar-face intended to harm Liu Qingwei, Ding Fan stepped in righteously and immediately killed the two pirates.

Click-click-click... All at once, every gun was aimed at Ding Fan.

Yet Ding Fan stood with his hands behind his back, appearing entirely unconcerned, as Zhou Ruoran helped the collapsed Liu Qingwei to her feet.

"Who are you..." Scar-face didn't immediately order his men to shoot at Ding Fan and Zhou Ruoran.

The sudden appearance of Ding Fan and Ruoran on the deck, and their impressive movement technique, indicated they were formidable individuals. Moreover, anyone capable of showing up here were definitely not ordinary individuals. Scar-face recalled having heard about the Ancient Martial Sects.

Without knowing the origins of the opposite party, Scar-face dared not act rashly.

"Before I feel like killing, scram!" Ding Fan said in a chilly tone.

Ding Fan really had no interest in dealing with these bullies who preyed on the weak. Saving the woman and chasing these pirates away was enough for him.

"Who the **** do you think you are, talking to our Boss like that!" At this moment, Li Gang stood out.

Li Gang had his own thoughts for taking a stand.

Li Gang believed that Ding Fan and the rest had no chance against these pirates, and it would only be a matter of time before these pirates shot them dead.

So now Li Gang figured it was clear: better to stand up and take the pirates' side. Maybe they'd appreciate his effort and spare his miserable life.

Ding Fan had never expected Li Gang to stand up at this moment and speak for the pirates, which caused Ding Fan to frown deeply.

"What, don't you know how formidable my Boss is?" Li Gang spoke while simultaneously sucking up to Scar-face.

"Boss, this idiot must be tired of living. Why don't you just shoot him dead?"

Ding Fan had seen his share of oddities, but he had never encountered such an oddity before. Here he was coming to the rescue, and this Li Gang was actually speaking on behalf of the pirates.

"Get lost!" Ding Fan couldn't help feeling angered, and with a wave of his right hand, a strong gust of wind surged forward. Li Gang hadn't even grasped what was happening before he was toppled over by the blast.

Scar-face, who was standing to the side, grew solemn when he saw the skill Ding Fan had displayed. He wasn't someone unfamiliar with the world, and he was now certain that Ding Fan was a master of Ancient Martial Arts.

"What, you don't want to leave?" At this moment, Ding Fan coldly turned to Scar-face.

"Fuck, boss, kill them!" Li Gang clamored as he struggled to his feet, teeth clenched, urging Scar-face.

In Li Gang's view, he had been attacked by Ding Fan because he spoke up for the pirates, so he expected these pirates would surely shoot Ding Fan for him.

However, what happened next was nothing like Li Gang had imagined.

"Senior, our apologies for the disturbance, we'll leave right now!" Scar-face approached Ding Fan with deep respect, bowing and scraping.

Huh? What's going on?

Li Gang blinked in utter disbelief.

All of Scar-face's men were pointing their submachine guns at Ding Fan and his company, clearly having the upper hand. Yet at this moment, Scar-face behaved very respectfully, which made no sense at all.

Ding Fan glanced at Scar-face. Scar-face was indeed a sensible pirate lord of the seas. Ding Fan didn't want to bother with these pirates, but if they kept provoking him, he didn't mind eradicating them all.

Even though all these pirates were armed with guns, it would just take a few minutes for Ding Fan to wipe them out.

At this time, Scar-face's choice to retreat was indeed the most correct decision.

"Go away..." Ding Fan said indifferently to Scar-face.

When Scar-face heard Ding Fan's words, he felt as if he had been granted a royal pardon. He quickly rounded up his men, not daring to let out even a peep, carrying the bodies of two dead brothers, and slunk away defeated.

Seeing this scene, it wasn't just others who were shocked. Even Liu Qingwei couldn't believe her eyes.

She knew all too well how outrageously bold these pirates had been before. But in front of Ding Fan, they were as meek as maids.

"Big brother, there are only two of them. Why not kill them off? If you're afraid, big brother, I'll take our men and do it," said one of the pirates once Scar-face returned to the speedboat with his subordinates.

Slap... Scar-face swung a backhand slap that sent the pirate stumbling.

"Open sea as far as the eye can see, and these two people just appeared. Do you know how our two brothers got killed? Wind Blades! If I had given the order to shoot just now, we'd all probably be dead! Go die by yourself if you want to *****, don't drag us into it."

Although the subordinate who was slapped felt indignant, he didn't dare utter a single word of complaint. He knew all too well what kind of person Scar-face was—a man who killed without blinking. If he angered him, he might very well lose his life.

The two speedboats blocking the way of the fishing boat didn't say another word—they started the engines and soon sped away into the distance.

"Thank you... thank you both for saving our lives." Seeing that the pirates had truly left, Liu Qingwei expressed her gratitude to Ding Fan and Zhou Ruoran with great sincerity.

Ding Fan stood with his hands behind his back and didn't say much.

"You've been frightened just now, you should rest more," Zhou Ruoran said from the side.

Liu Qingwei nodded her head. "Thank you..."

Although Liu Qingwei had been rescued, her mind had not yet calmed down. After all, she was just an ordinary girl, and the recent events had been too much for her to handle.

At this time, Ding Fan glanced at Li Gang, who was shivering in a corner.

Li Gang seemed to feel Ding Fan's gaze and, remembering how he had sided with the pirates against Ding Fan earlier, couldn't stop trembling with fear.

"Big brother, I was only trying to survive earlier… Big brother, please have a large heart and don't be like me," Li Gang pleaded as he knelt down before Ding Fan.

Liu Qingwei frowned at the sight of Li Gang and then turned her head away.

They say that a man's knees are as precious as gold, but Li Gang's knees really weren't worth much - willing to turn on his subordinates and friends just to save his own skin…

Such a person, Liu Qingwei felt, was utterly disgusting for her to even glance at.

Ding Fan paid no attention to Li Gang, who was acting like a dog. Why would he?

"Ruoran, let's go," Ding Fan said to Ruoran standing beside him.

Ruoran pondered for a moment, then looked again at Liu Qingwei, finally saying, "If we leave, what happens to this girl?"

"Seniors... please take me with you," Liu Qingwei pleaded, kneeling before Ding Fan and Ruoran.
