Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 399 Combat
As the river god of the great river, Hebo had many monsters under his command.

He was never stingy in passing on ancient aquatic secrets to his loyal and talented subordinates. This was not only to set an example and win their hearts, but also to deter the powerful and restless spirits in the great river.

The "Surging Waves Technique" that the Yellow Crab Spirit just used was one of the secret techniques personally passed down by the River God.

If used in a great river in conjunction with other aquatic creatures, it would be enough to create towering waves hundreds of feet high, flooding cities. Unfortunately, being on land, its power is reduced to less than one-tenth, barely producing visible ripples.

"boom!"

Wherever the shockwave passed, tree trunks as thick as bowls snapped in two, and shrubs and grasses were reduced to dust. Yu Tian, ​​however, did not retreat but advanced, his right leg whipping out like a whip, unleashing seven cyan wind blades in succession.

"A resilient grass in the wind!"

This is the move "Strong Grass in the Wind" from the "Wind God Leg" style. It is powerful and swift, and Yu Tian used it. Now, it is showing amazing power in Yu Tian's hands.

Seven wind blades struck Zhenbo in succession, forcefully shattering him. The remaining wind blades slammed directly into the Yellow Crab Demon's carapace, sending its massive body flying more than ten feet before crashing heavily into the mountain rocks.

A thin crack appeared on the carapace of the yellow crab spirit, causing its eight legs to tremble in pain.

Enraged by this, the blue crab spirit suddenly expanded its right claw several times its original size, transforming it into a giant claw the size of a house. The inside of its jaws was covered with serrated spikes that gleamed metallically in the sunlight. If this claw were to clamp down firmly, it could cleave not only flesh and blood, but even fine iron in two.

Yu Tian's body swayed like a willow catkin, narrowly avoiding the attack at the last second. He lightly touched the back of the pincer with his toes, used the momentum to perform a somersault, and slashed down with his right leg like a battle axe.

"boom!"

The kick landed squarely on the crab demon's claw joint. The immense impact caused the claw to swing backward involuntarily, colliding with the lunging turtle demon.

The turtle rolled over, its size increasing dramatically. Using its massive size, it crashed down on the blue crab's claws.

"My claws!" The crab spirit felt like its claws were about to break. "Brother Turtle, you almost smashed my claws!"

The old turtle demon was so badly injured by the impact that it saw stars, and several more cracks appeared on its shell. The three demons had only exchanged a few blows when they were completely at a disadvantage.

"Form the formation!" the old turtle demon roared, spitting out an inner core the size of a goose egg. The inner core was white as frost, and as soon as it appeared, it emitted a bone-chilling cold.

The two crab spirits dared not delay and each spat out their inner cores. The yellow crab spirit's inner core shone with golden light, while the green crab spirit's was indigo blue.

The three inner cores formed a triangular formation in the air, and in an instant, the entire mountain was shrouded in white mist. This mist was as thick as paste, making it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face.

Even more strangely, the sound of flowing water could be heard from within the mist, and the ground beneath our feet became soft and damp, as if the forest had instantly transformed into a swamp.

He tightened the small bell on his back and tried to break through the fog using his light-footed skills, only to find that no matter how fast he ran, he was just going around in circles. This formation could actually reverse orientation and confuse perception.

Little did he know, this was a battle formation within the River God's naval forces. Aquatic monsters are incredibly powerful in the water, capable of fighting any monster, but their fighting strength drops drastically once they leave the water.

Therefore, the River God found the "Cloud and Water Formation" from ancient traditions and taught it to his demon subordinates. In water, it can increase the power of aquatic creatures, and on land, it can change the environment, reversing directions, making it very practical.

However, this formation consumes a great deal of demonic power, and only demons like the old turtle spirit and the two crabs, Huang and Qing, can use it within the River God's palace.

From within the thick white fog, a giant pincer, the size of a small mountain, silently emerged, its jaws casting a shadow over Yu Tian and his companion. It wasn't until a strong gust of wind pressed down on them that Yu Tian was startled and looked up, hastily rolling over while clutching the little bell.

The crab claws slammed down, grazing the hem of my clothes, leaving a crater over ten feet deep in the ground with a loud "boom." Before I could even catch my breath, the white mist on my right suddenly surged. The old turtle demon's gaping maw emerged at an eerie angle, its sharp white teeth gleaming coldly, and its foul breath assaulting my senses.

Yu Tian twisted his waist and kicked out with his right leg like lightning—

"boom!"

The kick, carrying the force of wind and thunder, struck the turtle demon squarely on the nose. The old turtle demon, in pain, lashed out with its long neck like a whip, crashing through several ancient pine trees before regaining its footing.

Yu Tian dared not linger in the fight, and his body suddenly spun around. At first, it was just his clothes fluttering, but in the blink of an eye, it had transformed into a tornado that stretched to the heavens and the earth.

A fierce wind howled, drawing the surrounding white mist into the eye of the storm like rivers flowing into the sea. The viscous moisture hissed as it was sliced ​​by the wind blades.

He intends to use this to break through this troublesome formation.

"Not good!" Upon seeing this, the Yellow Crab Spirit swung its claws frantically. The surrounding water vapor condensed into a crystal-clear longbow. It used its left claw to draw the string and its right claw to control the arrow, and a giant arrow, like a water dragon, shot out into the sky.

"go with!"

Wherever the water dragon arrow passed, it plowed deep furrows into the ground. However, the moment it touched the wall of the tornado, the violent wind blades shredded the water arrow into pieces, turning it into raindrops that rolled back and blinded the three demons.

The spinning motion of the vortex intensified. The tornado stretched from the sky to the earth, sucking away all the white mist from the entire mountaintop. The landscape altered by the formation began to crack, the artificial swamps dried up and cracked, revealing the original rocks and soil.

"Click——"

With a crisp cracking sound, the three demon cores floating in mid-air simultaneously developed cracks. The old turtle demon cried out in pain and hurriedly retrieved its inner core, only to find that the once lustrous core was now covered with spiderweb-like fine lines.

The sky-covering tornado gradually dissipated. Yu Tian knelt on one knee, his face as pale as paper. Although this move, "Wind Sweeps Away the Building," had forcibly broken the formation, it had also exhausted most of his internal energy.

Just then, a figure as black as ink quietly emerged from the shadows of the rocks.

Using the remaining mist from the formation as cover, the mountain spirit silently leaped between the rocks on its single leg, its hairy black arm reaching out like a venomous snake toward the back of Little Bell's neck.

Having observed for a long time, it had long since realized that the girl was the boy's weakness.

"Success!" A look of joy flashed in the mountain demon's beady eyes, its claws only three inches from Little Bell's collar. It seemed to already see the boy kneeling and begging for mercy.

But in that split second, Yu Tian, ​​who had been panting heavily, suddenly opened his eyes! His eyes were clear as a mirror, and there was no trace of exhaustion left.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

In this world, the river has its river god, and the mountain has its mountain master. Without the mountain master's permission, a few turtles and crabs can come into the mountain to catch them.
Yu Tian's body remained still, but his right leg lashed out backward like lightning. This seemingly casual kick actually contained all the essence of his understanding of the "Wind God Leg" technique.

"The divine wind howls!"
"boom!"

The air crackled as the kick passed. Before the mountain demon could retract its long arm, it had taken a solid blow to the chest.

Its jet-black body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing into seven giant trees before finally coming to a stop.
