Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 548 Notice to everyone: 600 catties of large fish will be delivered today. Please be informed.
What?! What the hell?!

The carp spirit in the river trembled violently, its two golden whiskers, each over ten feet long, taut like steel whips!

"Be bold!"

A water column three meters high erupted from the river surface, and the foul-smelling river water poured over the kneeling villagers.

Several timid women fainted on the spot, and the old men hurriedly shouted, "Grandpa River God has been angered!"

The crowd hurriedly fled backwards, some even kneeling on the ground with their eyes closed, too afraid to raise their heads.

The carp spirit's single eye turned, and Fang Yu's slender figure was reflected in its pupil.

“Interesting.” The carp spirit’s gills opened and closed, spitting out three pearls inlaid with human teeth. “I have never been insulted before. You are the first.”

"You want to hear it? I'll keep cursing!"

Just as the carp spirit was about to open its mouth, a ray pierced through its body!

"Ow!"

The carp spirit rolled around in pain, its ten-zhang-long demonic body causing the riverbank to collapse!

Enraged, it whipped its tail and swept across, about to smash the bamboo sedan chair carrying the young boys and girls to pieces.
"Shh!"

A black and red lightning bolt flashed, and Fang Yu caught the fish tail, which was thicker than a beam, with one hand!

Fang Yu would be intimidated by things like spells, magical artifacts, and supernatural powers.

But if you rely solely on your physical body...
Fang Yu isn't afraid of monsters! What's a carp spirit compared to that!
"The River God is angry!" the hunchbacked old man screamed, grabbing the boy's foot. "Quickly, push the offering down!"

Before he could finish speaking, Fang Yu stepped on his withered wrist.

"Crack."

The sound of bones cracking and the roar of a carp rang out at the same time!

The carp spirit's demon core rose from its throat, and a blue light dyed the entire river a ghastly green.

The willows on the bank withered at a visible rate, their bark peeling away to reveal their bare bones!
Fang Yu frowned. He was afraid of these strange things. He quickly raised the Divine Protection Barrier in front of him, and a soft light enveloped him, blocking the blue light!
"Where did this brat come from, possessing such extraordinary abilities?! Quickly, tell me your family!"

The world of Journey to the West is also a place where people can establish kinship upon meeting. Otherwise, why would Sun Wukong always be asked about his origins? Introducing himself as the Great Sage Equaling Heaven who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago would have avoided a lot of unnecessary trouble.

But Fang Yu didn't want to mention the name of Wuzhuang Temple. After all, Zhen Yuanzi hadn't given his word, so even if he was taken in, he would have to take responsibility for his own actions.

"Listen up, your grandfather's name is Tianyuan Deng Gang! He specializes in catching big fish like you!"

The carp spirit was completely dumbfounded.

Who is Tianyuan Deng Gang?
"Young man! Kneel down now!" Ignoring his broken wrist, the hunchbacked old man grabbed Fang Yu's trouser leg tightly with his other hand. "You'll be punished by heaven for angering the river god!"

Fang Yu looked down at the fear overflowing in the old man's cloudy eyes, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Divine retribution? Today I'll show you what kind of thing your so-called god really is!"

"Dead fish! Die!"

"Ow!"

The carp spirit's demon core suddenly trembled violently!

The river surface churned and boiled, and countless white bones rose from the bottom of the water, piecing together a giant skeletal arm that reached out to grab Fang Yu!

"Lei Ying!"

Fang Yu's roar shattered the night sky! The heavens were instantly torn open by the thunderclouds, creating a hideous rift!

"boom--!!!"

The purple lightning bolt, as thick as a water bucket, pierced through the demon's core like a spear from the heavens!
The carp spirit's scream was cut short by the second bolt of lightning striking it back down its throat!

Its ten-zhang-long demonic body twisted into a bizarre braid shape in the lightning, its golden scales charred and curled up!
"This...this..." The old man collapsed to the ground, watching Fang Yu walk towards the riverbank, stepping on lightning.

With each step the boy took, arcs of electricity exploded, making his profile appear as sinister as a demon. The carp spirit's one eye finally showed fear: "Immortal, spare me! This lowly demon is a dragon from the South Sea!"

"Shut up!" Fang Yu made a hand seal, and five chains of lightning descended from the clouds, pinning the carp spirit firmly to the riverbank!

The blood gushing from the fish's gills stained the entire riverbed red.

The villagers finally dared to look up, only to see the "river god" they had been worshipping for years convulsing in the lightning, his golden beard already burned to a crisp.

Fang Yu stepped on the fish's head, turned around and grinned at the stunned villagers: "Today we're having a special treat, I'm treating the whole village to grilled fish!"

Crimson flames erupted from his mouth—the very Fire Release technique that the Uchiha clan excels at!
Flames shot up the fish's body along the lightning chains, and the sizzling sound of the oil being roasted accompanied by a strange aroma wafted through the air.

"No, impossible!" The old man, watching the carp spirit gradually cease its struggles in the fire, suddenly began frantically tearing at his hair. "That's the river god! How could this be... how could this be?"

Fang Yu ripped off a piece of golden-brown roasted fish and stuffed it into the old man's mouth: "Try it, what does your 'god' taste like?"

The old man chewed subconsciously, and the succulent fish meat, mixed with the aroma of caramelization, exploded in his mouth!

More and more villagers gathered around, initially hesitant, until the first bold child grabbed a piece of grilled fish and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Mom! It's delicious!" The child's clear voice broke the fear.

Fang Yu watched as the villagers eagerly tore at the fish, then suddenly leaped into the air, his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan sweeping across the entire river: "Who else wants virgin boys and girls? Sign up now!"

Several dark figures at the bottom of the river fled in panic upon hearing the sound, their footsteps echoing repeatedly.
The night breeze carried the aroma of grilled fish into the distance, and the Milky Way was reflected on the gradually calming river surface.

A little girl with pigtails suddenly tugged at Fang Yu's sleeve: "Big brother, are you a fairy?"

Fang Yu ruffled her hair and looked up at the night sky: "Don't call me a god, it's disgusting."

"If you're going to call someone, call me."

"Batman".

The morning mist enveloped Wuzhuang Temple, and Fang Yu's figure suddenly appeared in a side room.

He had just landed when he bumped right into Qingfeng's face, which was inches away from his own.

"you"

Qingfeng twitched his nostrils and suddenly grabbed Fang Yu by the collar: "You smell of the Xicun River!"

Fang Yu slapped his hand away: "Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night? Are you just squatting in my room like a doorman?"

"I'm waiting for you?" Qingfeng's voice suddenly rose, then abruptly lowered. "Master told me to keep an eye on the ginseng fruit tree! I sensed something in your room." His eyes widened suddenly. "You killed that fish demon?!"

The chirping of early birds outside the window only amplified the deathly silence inside.

Fang Yu looked at the cold sweat beading on Qingfeng's forehead and suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation. But then he thought, "The villagers just think I'm a passing knight-errant. I didn't mention Wuzhuang Temple, so how would they know it was me?"

Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good! If you had killed the Dragon King's relatives, that would have been a huge problem! Although the Dragon King has a lot of relatives..."

Fang Yu's eyes suddenly lit up. "Tell me, is the Dragon King powerful?"

Qingfeng subconsciously replied, "Dragon King? That depends on where the Dragon King is from! The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas are naturally powerful, but those lesser Dragon Kings of rivers and lakes are nothing in the eyes of our Wuzhuang Temple!"

He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly realized something, quickly covered his mouth, and nervously looked around, clearly indicating that there were things he couldn't say.

Fang Yu's lips curled into a cold smile: "What about the Dragon King of the South Sea?"

"The Dragon King of the South Sea?" Qingfeng released his hand from his mouth, curling his lip in disdain. "He's nothing but an old mudfish who's cultivated for ten thousand years! If it weren't for his dragon bloodline and the Heavenly Court's bestowal, he wouldn't even be worthy of carrying my master's shoes!"

He suddenly lowered his voice, "But why are you asking this?"

"It's nothing, just asking around."
