Chapter 112: An Ordinary Dead Island
Boss Wu looked at Yu Zhao and Ji Han Zhou, his eyes narrowed with a smile, and said: “You two, please get off the boat.”

Yu Zhao stood on the deck and looked out.

The small island ahead was ringed by steep cliffs on all sides. There was no beach where a boat could land, so Boss Wu had chosen to stop more than ten zhang away from the shore.

As soon as the boat steadied, he could not wait to drive Yu Zhao and Ji Han Zhou off.

Wang Zhen frowned slightly, a trace of hesitation flashing in her eyes.

Zhao Xian gently patted the back of her hand and gave a tiny shake of his head. She lowered her gaze and fell silent.

Yu Zhao stayed calm and said: “Boss Wu, this island is Lady Hua and the others’ destination. It might not be very convenient for my Junior Brother and me to go up.”

“We don’t mind. The more people, the livelier.”

The one speaking was Long Two of the Long Family Three Brothers.

His eyes stared straight at Yu Zhao like a poisonous snake sizing up its prey, a chill that would not fade clinging to him.

“That’s right, the more people, the happier we are.” Long Three said with great interest, “I’m sure Lady Hua and Zhao Xian and his wife also won’t have any objections, right?”

Lady Hua let out a charming laugh in response.

Zhao Xian said lightly: “Please.”

Yu Zhao smiled a little and said: “Since everyone is so enthusiastic, my Junior Brother and I will go on ahead.”

She gave Ji Han Zhou a look.

Ji Han Zhou’s expression turned serious. He nodded, tapped his toes, and was the first to fly toward the island.

Yu Zhao followed closely behind.

The seven people on the boat watched with their own eyes as Ji Han Zhou and Yu Zhao landed on the island one after another. Nothing unexpected happened on the way, and they were overjoyed.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Several figures rushed out, racing each other toward the island.

Because Boss Wu had to put the boat away, he was the last to land.

As usual, Yu Zhao first checked the island’s situation and found that this island was about the same size as the one she and Ji Han Zhou had briefly stayed on before.

But on this island, aside from bare rock, there was not even a single blade of grass. It really was like a dead island.

What kind of secret could such a plain, ordinary island be hiding?

Suddenly, a piercing sound of something cutting through the air came from behind her.

Without even thinking, spirit power surged under her feet.

Boom!

The spot where Yu Zhao had just been standing was blasted into a pit three chi deep.

Yu Zhao’s face was slightly cold as her figure appeared on another boulder.

Long Three laughed loudly and said: “Boss, you missed. Do you want Second Brother and me to help?”

Long One’s face was gloomy as he snapped: “Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and finish them off before anything can go wrong.”

“Relax. They are not getting away.”

Long Three did not care at all.

An Early Golden Core Stage little girl and a delicate pretty boy, and he was sure he could deal with both of them with one hand.

Seeing the Long Family Three Brothers openly discussing how to handle her, Yu Zhao looked at Boss Wu with a half smile and said: “Boss Wu, didn’t you say before that you would guarantee my Junior Brother’s and my safety? Does what you said back then no longer count?”

A crafty look flashed in Boss Wu’s eyes as he said: “I only said I would send you safely ashore. I never promised what would happen after you got off. If you have to blame someone, blame yourselves for not having eyes and boarding my boat.”

“We paid the boat fare.”

“So what? I already sent you ashore. As for keeping you alive, that would cost extra.”

Yu Zhao and Boss Wu went back and forth, arguing.

Except for Ji Han Zhou, no one noticed that inside Yu Zhao’s wide sleeve, a wisp of thin smoke was quietly rising.

Long One frowned and said impatiently: “Enough, Boss Wu, no need to talk to her anymore. Hurry up and finish them off, we still have serious business to do!”

Maybe because he was too tense, he had felt uneasy ever since they came ashore. Now, hearing the two of them argue only made him more annoyed and irritable.

Boss Wu agreed, then suddenly thought of something and winked at Lady Hua as he asked: “Lady Hua, should we keep Ji Han Zhou here…”

Lady Hua spat and said: “Get lost! Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking!”

Boss Wu laughed, but in the next moment, the smile vanished from his face. His features twisted, and his eyes filled with killing intent as he said: “Sorry, you two. Let me send you on your last journey.”

As soon as he finished, he pushed off with both feet, and his body vanished from where he had been standing.

At the same time, the Long Family Three Brothers attacked Yu Zhao from three different directions.

As for Ji Han Zhou, they all ignored him.

He was only at Late Foundation Establishment, and none of them took him seriously.

From spending day and night with Yu Zhao, Ji Han Zhou had already come to deeply understand how strange her Illusion Art was. If he rushed in now, he would not only fail to help, he might even drag her down.

So he did not charge forward for some so-called manly pride. Instead, he chose a position where he could advance or retreat, watching the battle while the life-bound Flying Sword in his hand trembled nonstop.

Lady Hua and Zhao Xian and Wang Zhen did not make a move. It was not because they were kind. They simply felt that with the Long Family Three Brothers and Boss Wu there, dealing with Yu Zhao would be more than easy enough.

What they did not expect was that even though Yu Zhao looked young, she had very rich battle experience. Even surrounded and attacked by four people, she still dodged with ease.

The ones who felt this most clearly were the Long Family Three Brothers and Boss Wu. In their hearts they silently cursed that this was too strange.

Clearly, all of their attacks were aimed straight at Yu Zhao, but at the last moment, she always managed to dodge them with perfect precision. It almost looked as if they were deliberately holding back.

“Stop first.”

Long One was the first to call for a halt.

If they kept going, it was hard to say whether they could hurt Yu Zhao, but their spirit power would definitely be quickly drained, which would be very bad for what they had planned next.

Long Two and Long Three looked unwilling, but they still stopped as ordered.

Boss Wu looked rough on the outside, but his mind was sharper than a sieve.

The moment the Long Family Three Brothers stopped, he also took the chance to retreat, his eyes flickering nonstop.

Long One looked at the others and said: “Lady Hua, Zhao Xian and Madam Zhao, are you planning to just sit there and wait to reap the rewards?”

Zhao Xian and Wang Zhen’s faces changed slightly. Lady Hua let out a cold, unkind snort and said: “If you three have no skill, don’t throw dirty water on me. How would I know that you three brothers cannot even handle a little girl weaker than you? All shine and no edge.”

“Lady Hua! Don’t think that just because you’re a woman, we three brothers won’t dare to hit you!” Long Three roared in anger.

She sneered and said: “Come on then, like I’m afraid of you. When I was already taking on three enemies alone, you were still hiding in your mother’s pants.”

“You dare insult my mother, I’ll kill you…”

“Shut up!” Long One shot Long Three a sideways look and said: “Now is not the time to fight among ourselves.”

This group had come together in the first place because of profit, and sooner or later they would split because of profit too. But right now, the most important thing was to kill this strange woman.

Long Three shut his mouth angrily, but his pair of fierce triangular eyes still glared at Lady Hua. He even made a throat-slitting gesture toward her.

Lady Hua simply snorted in disdain.

Standing on high ground, Yu Zhao took in everyone’s expressions, the corner of her lips curving in a barely visible smile.
