Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 71: The Unity of Law and Martial Arts
In Mihun Bay, shouts and cries of killing were heard everywhere. The Dangjiang bandits had already started fighting with the army of the Hedufu.

After experiencing several turmoils, the combat effectiveness of the Dangjiang bandits' high-level forces was greatly reduced. There was not a single first-rate warrior left, and even second-rate warriors were only a few. In terms of hard power, they were no match for the River Governor's Office. Fortunately, this was Mihun Bay, and the Dangjiang bandits still had certain geographical advantages.

Jiang Chen used fog to divide the battlefield, so that the Dangjiang bandits only had to face a part of the enemy each time, achieving the goal of using numbers to bully the few. In this process, the one who performed the most outstandingly was naturally Shu Tianjiao, and the other was the emerging Wang Yuan.

Even with the nourishment of the Blood Spirit Pill, he had only barely stepped into the third-rate level and was not outstanding. But now he was wearing wolf skin, was invulnerable to swords and guns, and was extremely fast. Ordinary second-rate warriors were no match for him, and he became the number one person under Shu Tianjiao.

On another battlefield, Jiang Chen and Lu Chenzhou also had several confrontations. Both of them mainly used probing tactics, but the fight was quite back-and-forth.

"You are definitely not the Iron Man Slayer. Who are you?"

Standing on the crest of the wave, holding a spear in his hand, looking at Jiang Chen who had turned into an iron corpse, Lu Chenzhou's square face was full of murderous intent. After several attempts, he had basically confirmed that the person in front of him was not the Iron Man Butcher, but an unfamiliar Qi-cultivating cultivator.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen remained silent.

Seeing this, Lu Chenzhou snorted coldly.

"Let's see how long you can hide."

Riding on the waves, Lu Chenzhou waved his spear, stirring up waves that turned into raindrops all over the sky, shooting towards Jiang Chen like a strong bow and crossbow. This was the rain arrow technique.

Seeing the rain of arrows shooting from the sky, Jiang Chen pushed his true strength to the extreme. For a moment, blood-red lightning flashed and surrounded his body, forming the first line of defense for him.

"The attack power of this rain of arrows isn't too strong, but it does contain a subtle chill that will interfere with the circulation of a cultivator's true energy to a certain extent. This is the most amazing aspect of this spell."

"No, perhaps this isn't simply the effect of the spell, but more of the blessing of the instrument. A mediocre spell paired with a suitable instrument can instantly create a wonderful resonance, producing an effect where the sum of the two is greater than the sum of the two."

Ding-ling-ling, rain arrows kept falling, and his figure was as still as a mountain. Jiang Chen sensed the mystery in it.

"But for me, this spell doesn't have much effect because my true qi is of the highest quality."

As a thought came to his mind, Jiang Chen further activated the formless true qi. At this moment, the subtle chill that spread into his body suddenly melted like ice and snow.

At this moment, Jiang Chen sensed something, locked onto a direction, and threw out a ball of pitch-black corpse fire.

Boom, the corpse fire exploded, raindrops flew all over the sky, and a figure emerged from it, it was Lu Chenzhou.

“You actually discovered it?”

His figure floated backwards and looked at Jiang Chen, a hint of surprise flashed in Lu Chenzhou's eyes.

Although his cultivation level is not very high, he has only opened twenty orifices and has not yet achieved success in Qi training. However, he has not liked studying since he was a child and only loves to wield swords and guns. He is quite talented in fighting. The Rain Arrow Technique, Water Concealment Technique, Cold Crocodile Armor, and Wave-Chasing Spear were carefully designed by him based on the Lu family's inheritance.

Relying on this set of tactics, he defeated the enemy many times.

“It’s a bit complicated.”

A thought came to his mind, and Lu Chenzhou's figure once again merged into the rain and disappeared. He wanted to try again.

"Invisibility spells are truly amazing. If you're not careful, you might get caught in one."

"The Corpse Taoist left behind a spiritual eye technique. It's a pity that I haven't mastered it yet. Otherwise, it would be much easier to deal with. Now that things are already in chaos, let's make it even more chaotic."

Using stillness to overcome movement, Jiang Chen activated the fog-chasing flag. At this moment, the cold rain and the fog merged, making the area within several miles around hazy.

Noticing this change, Lu Chenzhou didn't stop his attack. He quietly approached Jiang Chen and handed him the Zhulang Spear. However, at this moment, a ball of corpse fire the size of a human head attacked again. "He can suppress the cold influence of the Rain Arrow Technique and see through my movements. It seems that he is not some remote cultivator, but he doesn't look like a member of the Gao family either."

After revealing his figure again, Lu Chenzhou completely confirmed his guess.

"It's been a while since I've encountered an opponent like this. Since stealth kills don't work, I can only use force to attack."

After several fights, Lu Chenzhou's fighting spirit has been completely ignited.

"Turbulence!"

Jiang He's true energy roared, and Lu Chenzhou used all his strength to activate the spell.

At this moment, nine hundred-meter-long rapids rose up from under his feet and surrounded him.

"Ferocious crocodile strangles!"

With fighting spirit bursting out in his heart, Lu Chenzhou locked onto Jiang Chen's breath and delivered his strongest shot to Jiang Chen.

At this moment, the two low-grade magical weapons, the Cold Crocodile Armor and the Wave-Chasing Spear, simultaneously emitted spiritual light. The nine surrounding rapids continued to bless him, further enhancing the power of his spear and showing the explosive side of the water.

At this moment, from afar, Lu Chenzhou's figure had completely disappeared. What was left was only a ferocious crocodile with a body made of rapids, ten feet long, manipulating the river tide. It rolled its body, attracted the tide, and gathered great momentum, wanting to tear Jiang Chen to pieces completely.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen's expression under the mask finally changed. Lu Chenzhou's shot had made him feel threatened.

"A fusion of magic and martial arts? Speaking of fighting alone, this Lu family Qi cultivator is indeed stronger than the corpse Taoist. Fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise, facing such a shot, I would probably have a hard time dealing with it."

As his thoughts turned, Jiang Chen no longer concealed himself. He stretched out his hand and grabbed casually. At this point, relying solely on the Iron Corpse and his martial arts was no longer enough.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, a rapid and sharp sound was heard. As Jiang Chen tightened his five fingers, the Qi threads that were originally hidden in the clouds and mist appeared one after another. They together weaved a big net, covering the ferocious crocodile that Lu Chenzhou had transformed into.

Before, Lu Chenzhou controlled the battlefield with the rain arrow technique. Jiang Chen seemed to be passively taking the beating, but he was not doing nothing. With the help of the cover of clouds and mist, he was also quietly weaving a large Qi net in secret.

"Good trick, but you can't stop me because I'm a ferocious crocodile, not a swimming fish."

With a burning desire to fight, Lu Chenzhou did not change the momentum of his spear in the face of the sweeping net of true energy.

Buzz! The ferocious crocodile entered the net, and a powerful force burst out. After a brief stalemate, a hole was instantly torn in the Qi net.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen was neither surprised nor flustered.

Jiang Chen hooked his ten fingers and refined the Qi into threads. Relying on the powerful power of his soul, he repaired the net and wrapped more threads around Lu Chenzhou at the moment when the Qi net was completely torn apart. He did not seek to completely trap Lu Chenzhou, but only to delay Lu Chenzhou's attack.

When Lu Chenzhou noticed this change, a shadow cast over his heart. After practicing Qi, he once fought a fierce battle with a demon crocodile. At the cost of being seriously injured, he finally killed the demon crocodile. It was at that time that he comprehended the ferocious crocodile's strangulation technique.

His elder brother, Lu Chenshan, the head of the Lu family, once said that in a head-on confrontation, this move of his was comparable to those killing techniques at the minor success level, and was enough to overwhelm many cultivators who had achieved minor success in Qi training. However, this move was powerful and could not last long. Once it was delayed, the offensive power would drop sharply.

"Trouble!"

He kept struggling to break free from the restraints of the Qi threads, but new threads always entangled him. Lu Chenzhou knew that he had really met his match this time.
