Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 107 Tiger Catfish
Just then, a powerful voice came from the river:

Who are you calling a piece of trash?

The somewhat restless crowd immediately fell silent. A huge catfish, six or seven zhang long, appeared on the surface of the water. Its skin was smooth and covered with black and yellow stripes.

The catfish stared coldly at Lin Le, never expecting that someone would dare to disturb its meal here.

"Hey old man, I'm talking to you." Lin Le kicked the high priest. "Didn't you say the river god was nothing?"

The high priest scrambled to the edge of the altar, kowtowing and shouting, "River God, I'm innocent! I didn't say you weren't a thing! You are a thing! No, you are, you are..."

The high priest had completely lost his way and was incoherent.

The tiger catfish was too lazy to listen to him anymore. It opened its mouth and sucked the priest into its mouth. It chewed it and swallowed it: "What an old bone, it tastes awful."

The high priest died without uttering a sound.

The tiger catfish looked at Lin Le: "Kid, where are your parents? Don't they know where your River God came from?"

Lin Le walked step by step to the edge of the altar, the red ribbon fluttering in the wind, his twin swords forming a hundred arrays, and the golden rings hanging around his body shining brightly.

Standing by the altar, he looked at the tiger catfish and sneered: "Dongbo Lake, huh? I know it."

"Then you still dare to stick your neck out!" the tiger catfish roared.

“You little bastard, you should know that this is human territory.” Lin Le stood with his gun in hand. “Even if that old mudfish from Dongbo Lake comes, if it dares to be presumptuous, I dare to pull out its tendons, peel its skin, and stew it into a pot of soup!”

"How dare you insult Suicune! You must have a death wish!" The tiger catfish roared in fury, then slapped its tail, sending a towering wave crashing towards Lin Le.

Without Lin Ledong's intervention, a wave of pressure descended from the sky, dispersing the water waves. It was the Yin-Yang Twin Swords suppressing the water with the power of an array.

The tiger catfish wasn't scared at all. It turned around, swung its tail, and slapped Lin Le directly with its large tail.

With a flick of the Hun Tian Ling, the fish tail was immediately tied up, and Lin Le jumped back slightly to dodge the blow.

The fiery true qi circulated throughout his body, and his blood surged with a roar like galloping horses. Lin Le's muscles tensed, and with a loud shout, they all exerted their strength.

"rise!"

The red ribbon was stretched taut, and the tiger catfish immediately felt a tremendous force coming from its tail.

After advancing to the Ninth Level, Lin Le's physical strength had reached a terrifying 99,400 jin, a strength that surpassed that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Furthermore, Lin Le cultivates all three paths simultaneously, achieving perfect unity of essence, energy, and spirit under the Three Realms Spirit Fire Technique, resulting in a power multiplier that surpasses that of ordinary cultivators.

The tiger catfish tried to break free, and its movements stirred up a wave in the river.

"Like a fish in water" is no joke; the power that aquatic demons unleash in water is indeed greater than that on land.

Even so, the tiger catfish was pulled out of the river by Lin Le, just like a fish caught by a fisherman.

boom!
The massive body, six or seven zhang long, crashed onto the ground, causing the entire Qingye County to tremble.

The tiger catfish was immediately stunned and instinctively gathered water vapor to avoid losing its advantageous position.

Lin Le looked at the gathering water vapor, raised an eyebrow, and flicked his hand holding the Hun Tian Ling. True Qi surged forth, and crimson flames instantly ignited on the Hun Tian Ling, driving away the water vapor.

Armed with the Demon Spear of Slaughter, Lin Le leaped three zhang high, then slashed down with the spear.

Sunset!

Just as the tiger catfish came to its senses, it saw a "sun" hurtling towards it. Without thinking, it gathered its magic power in its head, leaped up, and crashed into the "sun".

Here it is!

A large amount of steam rose up, and the tiger catfish crashed to the ground, a scorch mark appearing on its forehead.

The pain brought the tiger catfish fully awake, making it realize that Lin Le was a formidable opponent. It opened its mouth, inhaled, and then exhaled, sending a huge water ball carrying a gust of wind hurtling towards Lin Le.

Flash!

Boom! The water ball crashed into the ground, creating spiderweb-like cracks.

After spitting out the water ball, the tiger catfish immediately turned and tried to rush into the nearby waterway. It's a fish; fighting on land is too disadvantageous.

But as soon as it turned its head, it heard a cold voice from above: "Where do you think you're going, you piece of trash!"

Then it felt a sharp pain in its forehead.

This made it go berserk, and its tail thrashed angrily.

Lin Le, who had distanced himself from the attack, stared at the tiger catfish that had survived a direct hit from a star-piercing attack and couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

'Tsk, no wonder it's a catfish, its skin is so thick!'

The spear spun in a golden circle, faster and faster, until finally only a golden light could be seen.

"go with!"

With Lin Le's final flick, the Qiankun Ring burst forth, drawing a golden line in the eyes of mortals, connecting the chilling spearhead with the restless tiger-striped catfish.

The tiger catfish seemed to sense danger, opened its large mouth, and emitted a huge siphon force.

This is its innate ability to devour the abyss; in a brief burst, it can temporarily drain a stream clean, making it excellent for defense or pursuit.

Unfortunately, it encountered the Qiankun Ring.

After gaining a large amount of genuine merit in Heiling County, Lin Le's first task was to upgrade the Qiankun Ring.

Consuming 270 points of Earthly Merit, the Qiankun Ring gained nine more minor restrictions, successfully advancing to a mid-grade magic weapon and gaining its second characteristic: Demon Slaying.

Slay demons and subdue non-human beings.

Golden light pierced through the body of the tiger catfish.

The tiger catfish stopped its rampage and stared blankly at Lin Le: "How...how dare you!"

Its body was now a pile of mud inside, and its Jade Pool Secret Realm was destroyed by the Qiankun Ring.

"What's there to be afraid of?" Lin Le strolled over to the tiger catfish and then stepped on it.

An immense force surged forth from that kick, crushing the tiger catfish's skull and extinguishing its last chance of life.

At the bottom of the river, a group of demons stared blankly at the scene. Then, a bunch of monkey-like demons shouted, "He killed Tiger General! We must run! Run! Report this to the Second Young Master!"

The demons were in an uproar and immediately turned to flee, only to find a beautiful creature, neither dragon nor snake, blocking their path.

"Where do you want to go?" The blue and white dragon-snake stared coldly at the group of water demons with its narrow, vertical pupils, its azure claws tapping repeatedly.

With each tap, a large number of water demons were instantly frozen.

Before the water demons could scatter, they were all frozen inside the ice crystals.

Although they were frozen, you could still see their eyes moving around, so they were clearly still alive.

Their gazes were all fixed on the blue and white dragon snake, and their eyes were filled with horror.

Most of them came from Dongbo Lake and had seen the true forms of the Dongbo Lake Water Lord's family, but their true forms and the degree of their dragon transformation were obviously not as high as the dragon and snake in front of them.

This dragon-snake is after the position of Water Lord.

The little demons couldn't help but have the same thought.

There is an inevitable path for all great demons to grow up: becoming king of a mountain.

This is done not only out of ambition, but also for spiritual practice.

The path of the demon race is the path of gods and demons. By occupying the power to operate the earth's veins and water veins, they can get closer to the source of their bloodline and thus extract stronger power from it.

To put it another way, it's about activating your bloodline; the higher the level of activation, the closer you are to your ancestors.
