A few crew mbers on the ship instantly t their untily end.
The Pirate Leader was utterly terrified, staring at this handso, extraordinary man before him. His legs trembled involuntarily, knowing he needed a plan to escape. His gaze drifted towards the river, realizing he’d encountered a formidable opponent today, seeking a chance to jump into the river to flee.
Hearing Long Rui’s words and knowing he would not be spared, he swung his two large hamrs with all his might, charging toward Long Rui, intending to attack first and find an opportunity to jump into the river to escape.
"Whoosh!"
"Bang!"
Little did he know, before he could even reach Long Rui, he was kicked away, landing heavily on the ship’s edge, colliding with the railing, and then falling heavily again...
"Ah...!"
With a clatter, the two iron hamrs fell heavily to the ground. When he tried to get up and retrieve them, it was too late. He only felt a pain in his neck, his vision went black, and he fell to the ground, knowing nothing.
Killing the Pirate Leader was a service to the people, and Long Rui threw his body into the sea.
The boat they had originally been on was slowly sinking to the bottom of the river because the cabin had taken in water.
The boatman and sailors were bailing out water in the cabin, but the more they bailed, the more water there was. Realizing the ship was beyond saving, they had no choice but to retreat to the deck, joining Xuexue, and stood there anxiously.
There were still a few pirates underwater. Seeing the ship slowly sinking, they knew their plan had succeeded and swam back to the Pirate Ship. However, as soon as they got on board, everything went black, and they lost consciousness.
Long Rui resolved all the pirates in an instant.
The boatman and sailors were overjoyed.
Thanks to this young man, they narrowly escaped disaster and held onto their lives, feeling very grateful to Long Rui.
But with their sailing ship gone, their hearts were heavy, as losing the ship posed a big problem for their future livelihood.
Long Rui moved the Pirate Ship closer to the sunken vessel to facilitate everyone’s boarding.
Disheartened by the loss of their ship, the boatman and sailors followed Xuexue onto the Pirate Ship.
Seeing their concerns, Long Rui said, "Don’t worry. Clean up the Pirate Ship, and it’s yours. You can continue to earn a living by ferrying passengers as before."
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, the boatman’s eyes lit up. The cost of a large ship was incredibly high. He had borrowed money from relatives and friends to buy the one that sunk. Now he was worried about how to repay the debt after the pirates sank it. Hearing Long Rui’s words was like a lifeline, suddenly seeing hope, and he was profoundly grateful to Long Rui.
"Benefactor! You are our family’s benefactor." The boatman knelt and kowtowed to Long Rui.
Long Rui helped him up, saying, "Boatman, there’s no need for this. This ship isn’t mine; it’s the pirates’. They sank your ship, so it’s only right they compensate you with this one."
Though he said this, the boatman was a reasonable person. Had it not been for Long Rui’s excellent martial arts skills that vanquished the pirates, they wouldn’t be talking about compensation; their lives might have been at stake.
"Benefactor, if there’s ever anything you need, just give the word, and I’ll be there at your beck and call." The boatman patted his chest, promising earnestly.
Long Rui replied calmly, "Alright."
The Pirate Ship was fully stocked with supplies, befitting pirates. It had everything they needed, with wine and at filling an entire warehouse. It seed that on their journey back to the Capital, they wouldn’t need to buy anything at all.
