Knife splashing

Chapter 405: The Fierce Dragon Rages
coming!

Li Yan drew out the Dust-Breaking Sword, and his muscles tensed.

At this distance, even if it was raining heavily, his sense of smell would not be affected and he could smell the scent of the trapped dragon.

It was a unique fishy smell.

It looks like a snake, a tiger, and has the fishy stench of mud in the water.

Mixed together, it's creepy.

"Roar!"

The mountain god "Zuo Yu" nearby roared angrily, and stomped the ground with his front paws continuously, causing the surrounding soil and rocks to splash everywhere, and the earth's energy was attracted and rose up.

"Zou Yu" was suddenly shrouded in an aura that grew stronger and stronger, like a majestic temple.

This is the majesty of the mountain god.

At present, "gods" are usually divided into three types according to the national sacrificial rituals: gods in heaven, gods on earth, and human ghosts.

However, animals like "Zou Yu" are not included in the offerings to the gods.

They are closer to the primitive mountain gods in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". Every mountain and every river has a god, and they integrate their spirits and souls into an area for practice.

Similarly, they can also make use of the local earth energy.

All the magic techniques in this world rely on the two Qis of Gang and Sha.

The usage of the mountain god "Zou Yu" is far less sophisticated than the Taoist methods, but the quantity is huge.

When the Yin Qi of the earth gathers and gains power, it becomes Earth Evil.

"Roar!"

"Zou Yu" roared suddenly again.

The evil energy of the earth gushed out instantly and collided with the incoming waves. There was a loud bang and water splashed everywhere.

This attack method is somewhat similar to the power of martial arts. The evil spirits of both sides are dissipated, causing the water splashes to turn into white mist and whistle before they hit the ground, blocking the vision of people around.

"careful!"

However, Li Yan's heart suddenly jumped and he suddenly pulled out his flintlock rifle.

I saw a black shadow whizzing out from the mist, about as thick as a water tank, but extremely agile, and swung over like a whip.

Bang!
The flintlocks roared and smoke spread everywhere.

The muskets used by Li Yan and his men were based on a principle similar to that of the Portuguese cannon. Although each magazine could only be fired once, they were tightly sealed and could still be used normally in this rainstorm.

The black shadow was hit, flesh and blood exploded, and smelly pus spread everywhere.

Li Yan finally saw clearly that the black shadow was clearly a dragon's tail, covered with fine black scales and emitting a black iron glow.

At the end of its tail, there are neat bone spurs connected by flesh membrane in the middle, which looks very much like a fish tail.

"Zou Yu" dodged successfully, and at the same time waved its sharp claws and scratched the dragon's tail that was about to retract.

Clang!
Claws collided with scales, and fire flew everywhere.

When Li Yan saw it, he couldn't help but be surprised.

It was indeed a real dragon, and the toughness of its skin and scales was even greater than that of the earth dragon they had killed before.

Even the new muskets could only destroy a small area.

The dangers don’t end there.

The black dragon's blood spurted out, and it turned into black dirty blood with dense white nematodes in it, which was the dragon Gu.

These nematodes twisted their bodies in the rainstorm and rushed towards Li Yan and "Zou Yu" at an extremely fast speed.

Before Li Yan could make a move, "Zou Yu" suddenly slapped the ground, and the evil energy caused frost to spread, freezing all the Jiao Gu.

"hold head high--!"

The desolate whistling sound rang out again in the water.

The vortex in the center of the lake spreads at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although this black-scaled dragon has not shown up, everyone can hear the anger and madness contained in its roar.

Li Yan's mind went blank, and he felt as if he had been hit with a stick. His head was buzzing. Fortunately, the Divine Tiger Order vibrated at the same time, eliminating the discomfort.

The sound of the dragon's roar can actually attack the soul!
If he is like this, others are even worse.

Both Sha Lifei and Wang Daoxuan staggered and nearly fell to the ground. The jackals, tigers and leopards were so frightened that their fur stood on end and they turned around and ran away.

They came at the command of the mountain god, but they were more afraid of the power of the dragon.

Fortunately, most of the Tiansheng believers had died, and the few who remained were crying for their parents and huddled on the ground trembling.

Wow!
As the central vortex grew larger, the surrounding lake water also spread, and coupled with the continuous heavy rain, it suddenly surged in and soon flooded over Li Yan's ankles.

Wang Daoxuan barely stood up and leaned over the edge of the boat. Seeing this, his face changed and he shouted, "Get out of the water quickly. Only by luring them ashore can we have a chance of winning!"

Li Yan's face was solemn, and he pulled "Zou Yu" back.

Wang Daoxuan is right.

There is also a record in the Xuanguai Lu: Tigers and leopards are powerful because they rely on the dark, and dragons are divine because they rely on water. Dragons are the gods of water insects. When they ride on water, their divine power is established, but when they lose water, their divine power is abolished.

To put it bluntly, just as "Zou Yu" is the god of the mountain, the Jiaolong is the god of the water. Once it leaves the water, the Jiao will become weak.

In the water, they would have no chance of success.

"Zou Yu" was not a fool. After its feet were submerged, it felt its control over the earth's energy weakened. It immediately turned around, raised its neck, and threw Li Yan on its back, then jumped directly onto the boat.

Sure enough, as soon as I got on board, I discovered a horrifying scene:
With the vortex as the center, a large number of white nematodes were running around, hiding in the turbid lake water and spreading around.

"hold head high--!"

The long howl sounded again.

In the whirlpool, a huge black shadow was seen winding under the water and rushing towards them again, with only a glimpse of it occasionally showing its claws, which was creepy.

"Prepare to abandon ship!"

Li Yan made a prompt decision to take everyone away.

After a brief fight, he already knew that even with the help of the mountain god "Zuo Yu", they were no match for this dragon.

If you don't leave early, you'll lose your life here.

Rumble!
At this moment, there was a thunder in the sky.

Click!

A bolt of lightning tore through the dark clouds, connecting heaven and earth in an instant. The whirlpool in the distance was also splashed with water, and the entire surface of the lake was crackling with lightning.

Thunder destroys all evil, and this is especially true for poisonous insects.

The white nematodes that were originally running around in the water became stiff and charred almost instantly and were swept away by the turbid waves.

"hold head high--!"

The trapped dragon in the water let out a shrill howl.

"This trapped dragon is going to be in trouble!"

Wang Daoxuan's eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly: "This dragon was trapped, and its resentment was growing, turning into a poisonous insect. It was doomed to die, and now it has disturbed the will of heaven and escaped early, so the thunder punishment will be even more severe!"

The escape of a dragon is a disaster, both for the people living along the river and for the dragon itself.

Thunder from the sky struck it, rocks fell to stop it, and the mysterious gate cut it off...

In short, there are many disasters, and those who can rush into the river will be scarred. But it is also like a snake shedding its skin, and it will be reborn.

Everything has a price.

Someone performed a ritual to pray for rain, which brought forward the time for the dragon to leave, catching the Zhenwu Palace off guard, but the disaster that Mr. Black Scale had to face was also multiplied.

"hold head high--!"

Mr. Black Scale also sensed the crisis and no longer cared about them. Instead, he stirred the lake water, causing the water surface to expand rapidly.

Boom~
Li Yan and others only felt a shock under their feet. The boat that was originally docked on the shore actually floated up, and the lake water had flooded the road.

Wow!
Before they could react, huge waves arose in the center of the vortex, like a yellow dragon surging and rushing towards the Dragon-Draining Canal.

Almost instantly, the deliberately dug gap expanded rapidly, with mud and sand flowing in, and wood and rocks rolling over.

One impact, opening the rift.

Two impacts tore open the mountain.

After three impacts, tens of thousands of tons of turbid lake water suddenly poured down the river channel and connected with the Ju River.

"Ang——!" With an excited roar, the trapped black dragon surged in the water, stirring up huge turbid waves. The waves rolled like a ferocious dragon head, wrapping the lake water and rushing through the pass.

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding water level began to drop.

The way we came was revealed again. Although it was covered with thick mud, we still had a chance to jump off the boat and leave.

"Roar-!"

The mountain god "Zou Yu" looked unwilling and growled.

Lu San quickly explained: "The mountain god cannot leave Shennongjia, otherwise the spirit will gradually weaken and it will leave."

"Go, go, go!"

Sharifei wiped the rain off his head and said anxiously, "Let's go quickly. I was scared to death just now."

Li Yan saw the huge ship being driven and drifting towards the gap. He was silent for a moment and then said, "No, we can just take the boat and leave."

"After the dragon escaped, the place was in a mess. Let's save as many people as we can..."

After hearing this, everyone sighed slightly.

Li Yan was right. After the dragon passed, countless people along the coast would be swallowed by the flood. This ship was huge and was just right for saving people.

After hearing this, the mountain god "Zou Yu" nodded slightly to the few people, jumped up and jumped onto the muddy shore.

Sharifei waved his hands and called out, "Lord Mountain God, when I'm done with my work, I'll give you some tribute. Please keep the herbs!"

The mountain god "Zou Yu" ignored them and just looked at everyone quietly, as if he was seeing them off.

Soon, the "Zou Yu" became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared in the rain, and the giant ship also arrived at the pass.

Crunch~
The huge ship tilted and drifted down the river.

"Hurry up!"

Li Yan shouted loudly and everyone immediately grabbed the edge of the boat.

Fortunately, although this huge ship was roughly made, it was very sturdy and rushed into the water rapidly along the river without any damage.

"Good guy..."

Sharifei stood at the bow, stunned.

Looking around, the river channel could no longer be distinguished. The Ju River had flooded and connected with the surrounding rivers, with turbid and surging river water everywhere.

Rumble!
There was a roar of thunder above, as if it was angered by the trapped dragon, and it became more and more frequent. It rained heavily and there was mist all around.

"The dragon went that way!"

"It's in the direction of Baokang County."

"Turn the rudder and prepare to rescue people!"

This huge ship has no sails and cannot be paddled. It is completely propelled by the water flow and the direction is controlled by a rudder.

Sharifei commanded Wu Ba to turn the heavy rudder, gradually changing direction and chasing the dragon.

Li Yan stood at the bow with a vigilant look on his face.

The trapped dragon left Shennongjia, but faced many disasters ahead, such as having to break through the Ju River. When passing through Dangyang County, it also had to guard against Guandi Emperor killing its soul, so it had no time to take care of them.

But just in case, you should still be cautious.

The huge ship sailed down the muddy river and soon arrived at the site of the original battlefield, which had been submerged by the surging river water.

"Hey! Hey! Come here!"

From the hilltop on the right, shouts were heard.

Li Yan turned his head to look, but the rain was so thick that he could only see people crowded on the mountain and shouting loudly.

Wang Daoxuan awakened his eyesight ability. Although it was mainly used to see qi, his vision was still far superior to that of ordinary people. He pinched the magic formula to take a look and quickly said, "It's someone from the Tiansheng Sect. I guess they are waiting for this ship."

"Humph!"

Li Yan sneered, "Turn the rudder and stay away from the shore. You are creating a storm and want to take advantage of it to escape. That's not going to happen."

As soon as he finished speaking, several black shadows flew down the mountain at a high speed and walked towards them on the water, clearly using some kind of magical power.

Sharifei and Lu San directly picked up the magic fire gun.

Bang!Bang!
Two gunshots were heard, and one of the figures exploded instantly.

Even if they have the ability to walk on the waves, their agility is far less than that on land, and they cannot avoid firearms at all.

Those who came down the mountain were all masters of the Tiansheng Sect, including the Right Prime Minister and Protector Wang.

These two shots directly killed two guards.

They were considered experts. If they were on the shore, neither Sha Lifei nor Lu San would be their match. But in this special situation, they lost their lives in confusion.

"It's the magic gun, retreat!"

The Right Prime Minister and others were startled and quickly stepped back.

After returning to the shore, they were all so angry that their faces turned purple.

They also destroyed the altar of Zhenwu Palace, which made the dragon escape successfully. They were originally very happy, but they never expected that their retreat would be cut off.

At this point, they could only wait for the water to recede, and while the imperial army's defense line was broken, they could cross the mountains and leave by land.

There will inevitably be constant disasters along the way.

In the cave on the top of the mountain, Master Huang Liu was hiding inside. Listening to the thunder roaring outside, he couldn't help but tremble all over.

There was helplessness in his eyes.

Although this incorruptible body of flesh and bones is extremely powerful and can bring into play the art of longevity that he has cultivated, it has its pros and cons and also has many weaknesses.

One is the fear of fire, and the other is the fear of thunder.

If you go out at this time, you will be struck by lightning.

Seeing his appearance, Tianshenggong Xiao Tianxiong's eyes flashed with sarcasm, "The Ghost Cult is only capable of this, I'd better go..."

Before they set off, Master Huang Liu said in a cold voice: "That boy is a living ghost messenger. If you see him, you will be beaten back to Luofeng Mountain!"

When he heard the name Luo Fengshan, Xiao Tianxiong's whole body stiffened, a purple light flashed in his eyes, and he stopped talking.

When Master Huang Liu saw this, his eyes were full of mockery.

Xiao Tianxiong has been possessed by the demon god without knowing it. It is estimated that he will be completely controlled when he arrives in Tusi City...

…………

shhhhhh!
Just after they walked a short distance, a dense rain of arrows came, some of which were nailed to the boat with a bang, and some fell into the water.

Wang Daoxuan raised his head and said, "It's the imperial army!"

Sharifei immediately yelled angrily: "You cowards, these idiots are not doing their job well, why are they hitting us!"

Li Yan's idea moved, and he quickly took out a bamboo tube and pulled it towards the sky. In an instant, red fireworks rose up.

Looking at the fireworks below, Gong Qian of the Duwei Division hurriedly stopped them, "Don't shoot, don't shoot, that's Young Master Li!"

After that, he bowed to the short and strong general and said, "General, that is the fire letter I sent to Young Master Li. They must have robbed the boat of the Tiansheng Sect demon."

"it is good!"

The short and strong general breathed a sigh of relief, stared at the opposite hilltop, gritted his teeth and said: "These monsters can only leave through the mountain road, retreat with water, and immediately send troops to stop them."

As he said this, he looked behind him.

I saw that the new altar had been set up.

Yu Longzi, who had just recovered, had a pale face, but still gritted his teeth and presided over the altar. He wrote on the yellow paper in the heavy rain, and then took out seven feet of yellow silk to write the Tianguan Talisman.

After doing all this, he took out a short sword from the wooden box on the altar, which was chilling.

At the mouth of the swallow, there was an iron toad.

This is the Five Dragon Flying Sword, a treasure left behind by the Iron Toad Patriarch when he died. It is used to suppress the aura of the Five Dragon Palace and restrain the five dragon sons.

When this sword came out, the five dragon sons in the back were all inexplicably panicked.

Yulongzi ignored him and wrapped the sword with the yellow silk with words written on it, while walking with the magic steps, making hand gestures and chanting spells.

"go with!"

With a low shout, the sword wrapped in yellow silk suddenly sank into the turbid lake water and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

This method is the ritual for beheading dragons, mirages and water monsters.

At the same time, the large ship that Li Yan and his companions were on was gradually approaching Baokang County...
