Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Chapter 545: Chapter 544, It’s Just Ten Gold Coins, No Need to Fight and Kill_1

The sailors, their faces grim, drew their longswords. They demanded either Gold Coins or a trip to feed the fish in the sea.

TAP, TAP, TAP...

Jiang Chen stepped forward.

Everyone looked at Jiang Chen.

Just as everyone was wondering...

Jiang Chen took out ten Gold Coins and said, "I just want to reach the Land of Ice and Snow. Everyone has worked hard."

Du Ningsun laughed. "Very good, sir! From now on, you are a VIP. I guarantee you will reach the Land of Ice and Snow."

Jiang Chen then walked back to the cabin.

Ling Zhi was so angry he practically spat blood.

We agreed to rebel together, and yet you surrendered first?

Ling Zhi said furiously, "Everyone, let’s attack together! They are pirates, and we must not let them succeed! Let’s join forces, seize the ship, and head to the Land of Ice and Snow together!"

"Well said! I, Lin Yu, will fight these pirates to the death!"

"You spineless cowards! We’re all Wanderers! Kill them!"

"You want our money? You’ll get nothing! But you can have my life!"

"There are more than twenty of us, enough to suppress them!"

"Charge!"

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Jiang Chen sat in the cabin.

Young people, can’t you endure a little? We’ve only been on our voyage for one day; there are still many days ahead! It’s not too late to make a move when we reach the Land of Ice and Snow. For now, we have to follow their orders.

Outside, a fierce battle raged. The Wanderers displayed their martial arts, but soon they could no longer withstand the onslaught. The Black Tiger Gang were a bunch of wily old dogs.

They had been fully prepared long ago.

But at that moment, a figure burst forth...

SWOOSH...

A single sword strike slashed off one of Du Ningsun’s arms.

A piercing scream rang out...

Du Ningsun was terrified. He hadn’t realized there was still such an expert among them. "Who are you?"

"Hmph! My name is Li Xiaolu, and I’m with the Qianren Association. It’s one thing for you to make a move, but to think of subduing me? You’re courting death!"

SLASH...

With a swift sword strike, Li Xiaolu was about to attack again and finish off Du Ningsun.

The others were extraordinarily excited.

"As expected of someone from the Qianren Association! So powerful!"

"The Qianren Association, one of the Five Alliances, is truly formidable! How dare the mere Black Tiger Gang provoke them!"

"Heroine, strike and kill Du Ningsun!"

"This man is despicable!"

"Kill him!"

Just as Li Xiaolu was about to draw her sword and act, Du Ningsun, pale with fear, exclaimed, "If you kill me, it will take ten days to reach the Land of Ice and Snow from here. Do you know the way?"

"Only I know the route ahead. If you lose the coordinates, you’ll be lost at sea. Only I know where the place is."

Li Xiaolu’s eyebrows knit tightly.

Only he knows?

Li Xiaolu, holding her sword, looked at a sailor and asked, "Is what he’s saying true?"

The sailor nodded. "Yes, only the helmsman knows the direction; we don’t."

"Heroine, we know we were wrong."

"Heroine, only our Black Tiger Gang has large ships that sail to the Land of Ice and Snow, because only we know the route map. If our boss dies, we’ll die too."

"Heroine, we’re willing to repent and see the error of our ways! Please let us go!"

Li Xiaolu sheathed her sword. "So be it. I’ll spare your wretched life. Take us to the Land of Ice and Snow."

Du Ningsun nodded earnestly. "Understood, understood."

How could Du Ningsun dare to resist? He could only nod desperately. While nodding, his eyes revealed a trace of viciousness.

At this, Jiang Chen shook his head and sighed.

It’s over. This Li Xiaolu is doomed.

「Inside the cabin...」

A few people gathered around Li Xiaolu, discussing their next move.

"Heroine, thank you for saving us! Thank you for your lifesaving grace!"

"Hero Li, I think we must keep an eye on them to prevent any treachery."

"Would they dare? Don’t forget, the Heroine is with the Qianren Association. What would happen if the Qianren Association found out? They’d surely die!"

"Exactly, no need to worry."

"They are too despicable! Fortunately, we have the Heroine here!"

"And then there’s that coward, too!"

At this moment, everyone turned to look as Jiang Chen entered the cabin.

Jiang Chen casually sat on a stool. "Waiter, bring me some fish and rice."

Everyone looked at Jiang Chen.

The coward actually fled at the first sign of trouble.

Their eyes filled with disdain, as if even looking at him was a disgrace.

A sailor brought over a bowl of rice and then left. Jiang Chen slowly ate his meal, seemingly uninterested in the surrounding commotion...

Li Xiaolu glanced at Jiang Chen and said, "Forget it. To each their own."

"Hmph, what a coward."

"He’s no Wanderer; he’s clearly one of The Fallen!"

"Even if he reaches the Land of Ice and Snow, someone will kill him."

"Cowardly as a mouse."

"PTUI..."

Everyone spat disdainfully, their eyes filled with contempt...

Jiang Chen finished his meal in a few quick bites and said, "Be careful..."

After saying this, he turned and left...

Li Xiaolu was utterly bewildered.

Be careful of what? The Black Tiger Gang’s men? Do they have the guts? I’m from the Qianren Association. Would they dare to make a move? If they do, the entire Black Tiger Gang will be wiped out.

However, Li Xiaolu didn’t dare to let her guard down completely; after all, they were pirates.

Jiang Chen returned to his room.

「After a good while...」

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK...

Jiang Chen opened the door and saw Li Xiaolu standing outside...

Li Xiaolu said, "You don’t seem like someone afraid of death. Why would you give them ten Gold Coins so readily?"

Jiang Chen smiled. "Ten Gold Coins? I can afford that."

"Are you really content with that?"

"Between money and my life, I naturally choose my life. After all, you only live once..."

"What about your pride? Your dignity?"

Well... what does this have to do with dignity?

Jiang Chen said, "Come in and we’ll talk."

Jiang Chen closed the cabin door.

He said calmly, "Now, things have become a bit troublesome."

Li Xiaolu looked disdainful. "What’s there to be bothered about? They wouldn’t dare touch us."

"Of course, they wouldn’t dare to act now because you’re all on high alert. But after three days, it’ll be a different story."

"I am from the Qianren Association."

"You saw it yourself; they are a group of desperados. And you’ve cut off one of Du Ningsun’s arms. He isn’t your match in a direct confrontation now, but if he resorts to underhanded tactics, you definitely won’t be able to handle him."

"It’s highly possible they’ll try to drug your food."

"Don’t worry about that. I’ve thought it through. I have my own rations and water, which I brought myself, so there’s no risk of being poisoned."

Jiang Chen smiled. "What if they try to use a knockout drug on you while you sleep?"

Li Xiaolu nodded. "I’ve thought of that as well. But there are over twenty of us. I’ll have them stand guard in shifts. They won’t get an opportunity."

Jiang Chen was momentarily speechless. This woman has thought of everything!

Jiang Chen shook his head. "Desperados aren’t as simple as you think. They have their own methods. Thanks to you, I’ve been dragged into this, and I might even be the first to suffer their revenge."

Li Xiaolu was still confused.

"What do you mean?"

"I don’t know for sure, but this voyage won’t be peaceful."

Li Xiaolu turned and left. "You’re overthinking it."
