Chapter 1558 - 1557: The Mysterious Captain Tige

"Clack clack clack!"

Captain Tige and the man in black collided, their fists echoing with a crisp sound. The Powerful Qi enveloping their arms shattered inch by inch, like glass breaking.

"Clap clap clap~"

The sound of rapid retreating footsteps echoed!

Captain Tige and the man in black both stepped back five paces!

However, Captain Tige appeared nonchalant, as if the recent battle was nothing more than a game to him. He then reached into his chest and pulled out a small flask.

"Luckily, I didn't break it!"

Captain Tige looked slightly relieved, then grasped the flask, immediately pouring liquor into his mouth, shouting "Ah, refreshing!"

On the contrary, the man in black looked at Captain Tige with an extremely grave expression!

After gulping down two sips of liquor, Captain Tige glanced at the man in black, speaking indifferently, "Li Qingtian, I didn't expect that after several years of not seeing you, your strength has become much more formidable than five years ago!"

"Captain Tige, you demon, dare to appear on Demon Island again, aren't you afraid of being hunted down?" the man in black shouted angrily!

"Hunted down? Haha! That was five years ago, and besides, the people on Demon Island still rely on my cruise ship; who dares to kill me?" Captain Tige scoffed disdainfully!

The man in black gritted his teeth, somewhat at a loss for words!

As Captain Tige mentioned, the incident had happened five years ago, and many had forgotten it. Now, everything on Demon Island such as purchasing supplies or taking a ship requires Captain Tige's cruise ship.

Gradually, no one wanted to bring up that past event; many had already forgotten it, while others simply feared Captain Tige's revenge!

The man in black unwillingly gritted his teeth, casting a cold gaze at Lin Fan, "Lin, today you were lucky, but next time, you'll have no such chance!"

After a cold snort, the man in black quickly turned and left the scene!

Lin Fan breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking that without Captain Tige's timely appearance, he might have really died here today!

"Senior, thank you for your timely rescue!" Lin Fan bowed in gratitude to Captain Tige!

Captain Tige glanced at Lin Fan, saying, "No need for apologies; I happened to be passing by. If you really want to thank me, then buy me a drink!"

"No problem! Senior, please lead the way; I don't know where the tavern is!" Lin Fan replied!

"Inviting someone for a drink but still needing them to lead the way, kid, you're the first to dare do this!"

Captain Tige chuckled without blame, then turned towards the other side of the street!

Lin Fan followed behind Captain Tige, puzzled as he watched his swaying silhouette!

From the first time Lin Fan saw Captain Tige, he harbored a mystery in his heart. Captain Tige was a Westerner, while Qi Gong Martial Artists were mostly Huaxians; Lin Fan had never heard of a Western Qi Gong Martial Artist before!

Captain Tige was the first one Lin Fan met!

Moreover, Martial Arts had its rules that forbid casually teaching Qi Cultivation to others. So how did Captain Tige cultivate Qi and become such a top-notch expert?

Soon, guided by Captain Tige, the two arrived at a small tavern!

Upon entering, the server saw Captain Tige, his face full of respect as he approached, "Captain Tige, you're back again! How much would you like to drink this time?"

Clearly, Captain Tige was a regular here!

"Fill up my flask first, then give me five bottles of liquor to take away. As for how much we'll drink now, it's up to this kid, since he's treating!" Captain Tige pointed to Lin Fan.

The server immediately looked at Lin Fan, who had become a well-known figure on Demon Island, commonly discussed by everyone. Naturally, the server wasn't unfamiliar with Lin Fan!

"Mr. Lin, may I ask…"

"Give Senior Captain Tige ten bottles of liquor to take away, then bring us three bottles each, along with some snacks, like fried peanuts!" Lin Fan said!

"Alright, coming right up!" the server shouted and retreated!

Captain Tige looked at Lin Fan with a bit of goodwill, smiling, "Kid, you're generous!"

Lin Fan understood that his generosity stemmed from ordering ten bottles rather than five!

Lin Fan said, "You saved my life, Senior, it's not just ten bottles of liquor; if you wanted this tavern, I'd buy it for you!"

"Forget the tavern; I'm not interested in running a business. As long as there's liquor to drink, I'm satisfied!" Captain Tige chuckled!

Soon, the server returned with three dishes and a fried peanut plate, packing ten bottles of liquor for Captain Tige and placing three bottles each and a large bowl in front of both Lin Fan and Captain Tige!

Lin Fan opened the bottle, ready to pour for Captain Tige, but was stopped!

Captain Tige said, "Kid, don't play that game with me; for fairness, drink your own; this way, no one can drink less!"

Lin Fan chuckled wryly; he didn't intend to cheat, but was pouring out of respect for Captain Tige and gratitude for saving his life!

Since Captain Tige was straightforward, Lin Fan didn't bother being coy, grabbed his bottle, and poured a big bowl, raising it, "Senior, thank you for saving my life; cheers!"

Saying that, Lin Fan tilted his head back and downed the entire bowl of liquor!

Captain Tige, smiling, did the same, finishing a full bowl of liquor, savoring the taste!

"Kid, why does Li Qingtian want to kill you?" Captain Tige asked!

"How do you know he is Li Qingtian?" Lin Fan asked curiously!

"Haha! Li Qingtian and I have fought more than once or twice; back when we competed for the top young martial artist title on Demon Island, we fought often. So I recognized him immediately, it's definitely Li Qingtian!"

Captain Tige chuckled, full of confidence!

Yet, Lin Fan was indeed taken aback!

Unexpectedly, Captain Tige had once competed with Li Qingtian for the top young martial artist on Demon Island!

Now both were over or near a hundred years old; competing as the top young martial artist must have been about thirty years ago!

From this, it seemed Captain Tige grew up on Demon Island!
