Confucian and Taoist scholar

Chapter 384: Strange Beasts Appear
"It's so annoying!"

Qing Wan was disturbed from practicing again and was so angry that a soy sauce bottle seemed to be hanging from the corner of her mouth.

Seeing Qing Wan's angry look, Lu Zheng smiled and said, "It's just a small matter, no need to worry about it."

The others looked shocked and doubtful when they heard this. With tens of thousands of monsters rushing towards them, it would take some effort for them to deal with them even if they wanted to.

It is estimated that it is still impossible to stop these monsters from destroying the spiritual charm of this place.

What's more, there are more monsters coming.

Lu Zheng took a step and flew into the air.

He spread out one hand, and a ball of purple lightning flashed in his palm.

Lu Zheng waved his hand casually, and purple thunder flew out, suddenly exploding in the air.

There was a loud thunder, carrying with it an invisible and righteous force, which directly affected the mind of the monster.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Zheng had an idea, and strands of righteous energy shot towards the group of monsters.

Thousands of monsters were suddenly hit and woke up from their frenzied state.

Some monsters became confused, while others returned to normal and fled again.

Lu Zheng took out another piece of paper and threw it directly into the air.

Wenbao emitted a dazzling light that illuminated the surroundings, eliminating the evil spirits around him and also affecting the monsters that continued to come over.

Lu Zheng's figure flashed, and he used his divine sense to explore the source of the monster and traced it directly.

After Lu Zheng left, Wang Fang and others also took action to repel some monsters to prevent this temporary treasure land from being polluted.

In comparison, they all felt that Lu Zheng's righteousness was the most effective and was a great help.

Not long after, Lu Zheng discovered a small formation on the water surface. A special aura continued to emanate from the formation, which could affect the surrounding monsters.

Lu Zheng raised his hand and struck, destroying the formation directly.

He looked around again but did not find the Beast Taming Sect elder.

I'm afraid the other party has already left and just left this formation to disgust people.

Lu Zheng was speechless for a moment. How could a dignified Qi Refiner like to do such things that harm others and benefit himself?

Lu Zheng couldn't help but shook his head and turned back to the island.

At this time, almost all the monsters on the island had dispersed.

However, before everyone could continue to absorb the spring spiritual energy, another unusual noise was heard.

But the water surface not far away was violently surging, and a figure several dozen feet tall rushed out of the water.

Lu Zheng and his companions took a closer look and found that it was a giant fish covered with black scales and had a pair of huge wings.

The water tribe woman's eyes flickered, and she asked in surprise, "A fish?"

The fish is a legendary beast with a fish body and bird wings. Wherever it passes, floods will occur.

Lu Zheng had seen the introduction of this strange beast in books, but he was still surprised when he saw it with his own eyes, because this strange beast was much larger than the description.

The fish looked towards the island, its eyes, like dead fish eyes, flashing slightly.

The fish flapped its wings, suddenly stirring up gusts of wind and turning into a black shadow flying towards it.

"Five realms!"

The king's expression changed slightly. Even he didn't dare to face such a powerful monster.

Others also became alert.

When the fish approached, it just glanced at the tiny crowd lightly, opened its mouth and sucked, and the spiritual energy in the mountain and everyone felt as if it was being sucked away by this strange beast.

Lu Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and felt the abnormal aura fluctuations of this strange beast. It was a monster in a frenzied state.

Without hesitation, he raised his hand and a small hill appeared in front of him.

When the fish saw a small hill blocking its way, it couldn't help but let out a strange cry, and then opened its mouth and spit out corrosive water.

When the water hit the mountain, wisps of green smoke suddenly rose.

Some water droplets fall to the ground and corrode the grass and trees.

Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows, jumped into the air, and smashed the fish with Zhang Liang's hammer in his hand.

The fish's body was too big, and it couldn't avoid the blow in time, so it was hit directly by Zhang Liang's club. Sparks flew on the solid fish scales, and a sharp sound of metal and stone was emitted.

The fish felt a slight pain, turned its head to face Lu Zheng, and spewed out poisonous water arrows.

Hundreds of water arrows suddenly submerged Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng swung his hammer with his backhand, and thunder burst out, bombarding the fish.

However, the fish had thick skin and flesh, so it did not suffer much damage at all.

Lu Zheng was slightly surprised. It was the first time he encountered a monster with such high defense.

The previous Tengshan Jun had transformed into his true form, but he was still unable to withstand his Zhang Liang Zhui.

Lu Zheng flew forward to create some distance and switched to a long sword in his hand.

After being hit by Lu Zheng several times, the fish was suddenly filled with hatred and didn't care about absorbing any spiritual energy. It insisted on swallowing Lu Zheng.

The water sparrow flapped its wings, and the calm water surface became turbulent again, turning into long and thin waterspouts that rolled towards Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng stood in mid-air, holding a sword in one hand and reciting poems in a low voice.

With the blessing of one poem after another, he became as imposing as a rainbow and as steady as a mountain in the face of wind and rain.

The long sword in his hand hummed and vibrated, and due to the excessive power, the sword body even had dense cracks, almost breaking into pieces. But Lu Zheng knew that this power was not enough.

By the time he added another line of poetry, the sword in his hand had already burst into brilliant light.

Lu Zheng raised his sword high and slashed it, and the whole sword shattered instantly, and the fragments turned into the purest and most powerful sword energy.

With a flash of light, a sword energy of dozens of feet long slashed straight towards the fish.

In just a blink of an eye, a long bloody sword mark appeared from the head to the tail of the fish.

Wang Fang was shocked. When did Confucian and Taoist scholars become so powerful in combat? Did they inherit the skills of those all-round Confucian practitioners in ancient times?
He was now somewhat thankful that he had not fought seriously with Lu Zheng before, otherwise he might not have been able to defeat him in a single move.

Lu Zheng shook his sore arms, breathing slightly as he watched the fish flying in the air.

This sword completely destroyed a fourth-level spiritual sword and finally injured the big fish.

The fish was hit by the sword, but it seemed that it had not reacted yet and continued to flap its wings. Suddenly, a huge wave hit Lu Zheng.

Seeing this, Lu Zheng just flew a little higher and dodged.

The fish refused to give in and tried hard to induce the water flow to attack Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng couldn't help but think that this monster in its frenzied state was not very smart and even didn't know whether to live or die.

As soon as he thought about it, the righteous energy around him changed and turned into purple thunder in an instant.

But in a flash, Lu Zheng turned into a human-shaped thunder and rushed towards the fish.

In just a moment, Lu Zheng arrived at the belly of the fish, where the wound was still bleeding.

When Lu Zheng raised his hand, the terrifying power of thunder was suddenly released.

The purple light was dazzling, and bolts of lightning surged out, blasting a bloody hole in the belly of the fish, and the aroma of burnt fish meat filled the air.

Wang Fang was stunned and muttered, "Is this a Confucian cultivator?"

Qing Wan folded her arms and snorted, "Is there a problem? Can't Confucianists use these powers? Confucian and Taoist saints have even more methods!"

Wang Fang thought to himself, how can they be the same? A saint is a saint...

How could today's Confucian and Taoist scholars have so many abilities? It is considered a skill if they can take a few books of sages, recite their words and get rid of demons and evil spirits.

After the thunder strike, the fish's body finally couldn't hold on and was swaying in the air.

Lu Zheng waved his hand again, directly summoning the strange mountain phenomenon, which pressed down from the sky and pressed the fish downwards.

The strange mountain phenomenon had a powerful suppressive force. Lu Zheng was still a little worried, so he took out the instrument and released the power, determined to suppress it completely.

"boom……"

The huge fish fell directly to the ground on a small island, making a dull sound.

Seeing the fish struggling and flapping its breath, Lu Zheng raised his hand and took out the Dayi, attacking the fish's demon soul.

Under the bright sunlight, the fish demon soul had no power to resist.

The originally frenzied demon soul gradually disappeared and turned into pure soul power. The body and soul separated, and the body died and the soul disappeared.

Seeing that the fish in front of him had lost its breath, Lu Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, slowly put away the treasure, and carefully looked at the strange big fish in front of him.

At first glance, it looks like the legendary beast, but there are still some differences from the description in the book.

He could also feel the difference between this fish and ordinary demon fish. It should be considered that it had mutated and awakened the bloodline of the mullet.

The water tribe woman floated over and looked at the fish in front of her, her eyes sparkling with a strange light. "It is rumored that there are strange beasts called fish in Yunmeng Lake. I have lived here for so long, but this is the first time I have seen one..."

Wang Fang and another Qi Refiner also came over to take a look, and were surprised and puzzled by the big fish.

Qing Wan came over slowly and couldn't help but ask, "It's so big, can I eat it?"

The aquatic woman smiled and said, "It's said that garfish have the effect of nourishing and prolonging life. This garfish is of high quality. I want to buy some garfish meat. I wonder if this gentleman would be willing to part with it?"

Lu Zheng smiled faintly when he heard this. "It's just a fish, there's no need to give it up. If you want it, just choose it yourself and give a suitable price."

The water tribe woman's eyes lit up. She didn't expect Lu Zheng to be so generous.

However, even though Lu Zheng allowed her to choose freely, she would not really buy the best part.

Wang Fang and the other person standing next to them were also tempted.

The Qi Refiner spoke first, wanting to spend spirit stones to buy some to try.

Lu Zheng nodded generously without saying anything more.

Wang Fang's eyes flickered. It was the meat of a fifth-level monster, and it was also the legendary exotic beast. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't tempted.

"Master Lu..."

Wang Fang spoke shamelessly.

Seeing this, Lu Zheng just smiled and said, "Elder Wang, please pick whatever you want."

He and Wang Fang did have some minor conflicts before, but they were in the past, so he wouldn't keep holding on to them.

Besides, the opponent's strength can no longer pose any threat to him.

The three of them bought some shrimp meat, and none of them gave a low price. They all estimated the price high, and then took out spirit stones or some spirit objects to trade.

With the strength Lu Zheng has shown, they would not be stupid enough to take advantage of Lu Zheng.

Wang Fang even took out a quasi-fifth-level long sword, a spiritual sword made of fifth-level materials. However, its spirituality was not enough and needed to be nurtured, and it was not as easy to use as a flying sword, so it was not too expensive.

Wang Fang also wanted to trade the flying sword, but Lu Zheng and Qing Wan both felt that the small flying sword was not convenient to use and was troublesome to maintain, and was not as convenient as a normal spiritual sword, so they did not want it.

Afterwards, everyone got what they needed from the transaction and everyone was happy.
