Chapitre 168: Chapter 168: Heider Poisons, Su Bai Crushes
"Your intentions are too obvious," Su Bai sneered.
Heider's face turned grim, "You noticed from the beginning?"
Su Bai nodded.
From the moment Heider invited them on board, his greedy eyes gave him away.
It was hard to believe he had no ulterior motives.
With such a person, who wouldn't be cautious?
Moreover, after a few days on the ship, he had never been this hospitable before.
Suddenly bringing food was suspicious to anyone.
Hmph!
Heider coldly smiled, "Even if you figured it out, so what? Once I kill you, your treasures and your women will be mine."
"Attack!"
Heider shouted.
Immediately, a group of people rushed in from outside the cabin.
They were the ship's crew, including Heider's son.
"Huh, someone's still standing?"
"Father, you really messed up this time."
Heider's son spoke, his eyes not on Su Bai but greedily eyeing the women lying on the table.
He licked his lips.
These women were top beauties, each more stunning than the last.
Any one of them was enough to satisfy him for a long time.
But encountering five at once was a heaven-sent blessing.
As for Su Bai, he was automatically ignored.
Once on the ship, Su Bai was just a lamb to be slaughtered.
Heider's face darkened, "Enough talk, get to work!"
"Alright then."
Heider's son pouted but started to summon his martial spirit.
The crew also began to summon their martial spirits.
They were ready to attack Su Bai.
Heider's son clenched his fists and approached Su Bai with a sinister smile, "Pretty boy, blame your bad luck!"
Pfft~
As soon as he finished speaking.
A soft sound was heard.
Heider's son froze.
He looked down to find his lower body missing.
Thud~
His upper body fell to the floor, blood pooling across the deck.
His eyes remained wide open, dead without peace.
He hadn't expected to be killed in an instant by Su Bai, without even seeing him move.
The rest of the crew was stunned by the scene.
For a moment, they forgot to act, staring in disbelief.
Su Bai watched everything with a cold expression.
"Bastard, you're courting death!"
Heider was the first to react.
In a moment of distraction, his son was reduced to half a body, dead.
He instantly flew into a rage.
His martial spirit possessed him, and his aura exploded.
He shouted, "You useless lot, avenge my son!"
With that, Heider attacked.
Bang~
Su Bai punched, sending Heider flying and severely injuring him.
Then, Su Bai swiftly took down the crew.
In just a blink, most of them were dead.
If he didn't need them to sail the ship, Su Bai would have killed them all.
"You..."
Heider struggled to get up, fearfully pointing at Su Bai, unable to speak.
Su Bai looked so young that Heider thought he could easily overpower him.
Moreover, being out at sea meant no help could come for Su Bai.
He would have been at Heider's mercy.
But now, Heider understood why Su Bai dared to sail with only the women.
It wasn't stupidity but confidence in his own strength.
With just one punch, Heider was critically injured.
Such power was at least at the Soul Douluo level.
Who knew, the hunter had become the hunted.
Su Bai's physical strength was unmatched.
Even with just one punch, it was too much for Heider to handle.
If Su Bai hadn't held back, Heider would be dead.
"Brother Bai, is it over already?"
Ning Rongrong stopped pretending to faint, standing up to find Su Bai had already resolved the issue, feeling a bit disappointed.
She hadn't even gotten a chance to fight.
Seeing the bodies on the floor, Ning Rongrong had adapted quite well.
She even seemed eager to take on the remaining crew.
Hu Liena stopped her, "Rongrong, Brother Bai left them on purpose. Who else would sail the ship?"
Ning Rongrong sighed regretfully.
She walked over to Heider, asking, "Why did you poison us? We have no quarrel."
"Because you're nobles."
Heider sneered.
He had been tormented by nobles in his youth, fostering a deep hatred for them.
From Su Bai and the women's attire, he could tell they were of high status.
And their stunning beauty made them prime targets.
Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes, exasperated, "That's ridiculous. Are all nobles bad?"
"Are there good nobles?"
Heider retorted with a cold smile.
Ning Rongrong was speechless.
Truthfully, most nobles weren't good.
They indulged themselves at the expense of others.
As a member of one of the top three sects, Ning Rongrong's status was close to nobility.
They controlled vast resources.
For common soul masters to succeed, they had to join a sect or noble force.
Otherwise, achieving greatness was nearly impossible.
Take Jiang Zhu, for example.
Her talent wasn't lacking.
But without help, she would have struggled to make a name for herself.
Luckily, she met Liu Erlong, which changed her fate.
That's why Jiang Zhu respected Liu Erlong so much.
And why the Blue Tyrant Academy students respected Liu Erlong.
She gave commoners a chance.
Heider's hatred for nobles stemmed from his tortured past, making his resentment understandable.
"Take the remaining men and get out."
"Or die."
Su Bai's tone was calm but left no room for refusal.
The crew, feeling like they'd been granted amnesty, quickly left.
Heider, hearing Hu Liena's earlier words, felt bitter.
He stared at his son's body, filled with hatred.
He knew Su Bai spared him only because he needed him to navigate.
Heider didn't fear death, but he couldn't die yet.
He had to avenge his son.
But with Su Bai's strength, revenge seemed impossible alone.
Yet, he had a plan.
On the way to Sea God Island, there was a powerful soul beast.
Heider decided to use it to avenge his son.
He left the cabin silently.
Su Bai noticed Heider's expression.
He knew Heider wouldn't give up on revenge.
But he wasn't afraid.
He could guess Heider's plan.
He would likely use the soul beast against him.
But that suited Su Bai just fine.
He had just acquired a new soul bone.
It was a perfect opportunity to test its power.
