Immortal Dao Fruits, Cards to Help Me

Chapter 139 Strange Fish, Obtaining a Sword

Chen Xiuxian took out the ebony sword, which hovered around him, and then drew the rainbow sword and held it in his other hand.

After thinking for a moment, he took out the [Diamond Umbrella (Blue)] and hung it above his head.

Even with my spiritual vision activated, I couldn't see more than five or six meters underwater. The currents were strong, the water was extremely murky, and visibility was very low.

If something were to attack suddenly, the reaction time would be too short. We have to be careful!

Chen Xiuxian trudged along the muddy riverbed, gradually making his way towards the center of the river.

After walking about forty or fifty steps, the water layer overhead was already quite thick, and the sunlight shining down only provided a little bit of brightness, making visibility even lower.

It feels like we're already more than ten meters deep!

Seeing that he could no longer see clearly, Chen Xiuxian opened the map and checked his location, which was probably in the middle of the river.

So he took out a sorghum husk, rubbed it between his fingers, and the sorghum husk automatically caught fire.

It was only the size of a fingertip, but it emitted a very strong light, illuminating the river water within a six or seven-meter radius around Chen Xiuxian.

Then, in the distance, the strangely shaped giant fish fled in panic.

Chen Xiu thought for a moment and decided not to release the flying sword.

I sensed something around me earlier, but the currents under the river were turbulent, so I couldn't hear or see it.

It turns out to be a strange fish with a big head that's over two meters long.

I just glanced at it, and it's already level 14.

But now is not the time to pay attention to it...

With this lighting, Chen Xiuxian continued "downwards".

I walked along the riverbed for about three hundred steps, and by now I should have reached the other side.

But Chen Xiuxian was still at the bottom of the river, and no one knew how deep it was.

Because the light overhead was like a light bulb about to go out; it was only a little bit of light.

Suddenly, Chen Xiuxian felt a fluctuation in his magical power!
My whole feeling changed instantly!

Moreover, the space around the water-repelling bead was reduced to 20 centimeters in size, as if it had been compressed to an extreme degree.

Chen Xiuxian currently has 44 points of perception, which is probably about the same level as that boar-man's Great Shaman at the Gang Sha Realm.

His feeling was very clear. That was—he had "time-traveled"!

They crossed the barrier between the human world and the realm of illusion!

The barrier at the confluence of the three rivers is relatively weak, and it can become extremely weak under certain conditions or on certain days.

For example, the time thirty or forty years ago when the fisherman and his two sons retrieved the Water-Dividing Sword.

Although they didn't come to the bottom of the river like Chen Xiuxian, they indirectly came into contact with the Illusionary Spirit Realm.

As for the "Dragon King" in the river a hundred years ago, it was probably some kind of demon from the Illusionary Realm.

However, after the Great Shun Dynasty conquered Liaodong, it restored order, stabilized the social order, and strengthened the barriers between the two sides.

No one needs to exorcise the demons; they simply won't be able to get through.

Chen Xiuxian had already reached the center of the river, the deepest part of the river, but after lighting the sorghum husks, he found a way "downward" and continued walking, eventually reaching the Illusionary Spirit Realm.

In other words, although Chen Xiuxian is still in the river, it is no longer the Sancha River in the human world, but the bottom of the Sancha River in the Illusionary Spirit Realm.

Danger is imminent!
A large fish, over four feet long, slender and covered with small bluish scales, with a mouth full of sharp teeth, darted toward Chen Xiuxian like lightning.

However, that mouthful of fine fangs was blocked by a pale golden barrier half a meter away from Chen Xiuxian. The Vajra Umbrella's defensive effect was excellent!
The fish was jolted awake by the impact. Because it was swimming very fast, the impact was quite severe, making the fish seem a little dazed.

Chen Xiuxian waved his hand, and the Long Rainbow Sword in his hand, like a red line underwater, severed the fish's head.

"Ding~ You have killed a level 13 Green Scaled Carp and gained 112 experience points."

Unexpectedly, a card appeared on that long fish carcass!
[Green Fish Stone], Tier 2 Rare Item...

Before Chen Xiuxian could take a closer look, the river water not far away began to stir, and five or six large, strange fish surged toward them.

Seeing that things were going badly, Chen Xiuxian first waved his hand to put the headless blue-scaled mullet into his inventory, and then swam away into the distance.

Seeing the fish circling and fighting where they had just been killed, Chen Xiuxian figured it was probably attracted by the fish blood.

However, after the fish blood was snatched up, other strange fish also set their sights on Chen Xiuxian. They were incredibly fast underwater and quickly caught up with him.

One of them had a head that was half the size of its body, a mouth that looked like a crocodile's, eyes the size of a fist, and scales the size of a palm. It was a fish bigger than an eight-immortal table and was the fastest chasing fish!
With that big mouth, it could eat a whole pig in one bite!

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Chen Xiuxian flicked his sword finger, and the ebony sword transformed into a black light, shooting into the fish's mouth and out from the back of its head.

It instantly killed the level 18 monster fish.

...Killing fish is not the goal. Although it is rare to find so many monsters, the most urgent task is to obtain the Water-Dividing Sword.

It's not too late to go on a killing spree after we get the treasure!

Chen Xiuxian dodged and fought his way through the underwater rocks and weeds, desperately trying to reach the location described in the forum post.

It's a bit like exploring a map blindly. You know something is somewhere on this map, but now you can only wander around and see if you get lucky.

Fortunately, Chen Xiuxian has a high level of good fortune; it's already 23 PM.

After about an incense stick's time, having killed more than forty strange fish and one water monkey, he finally saw the water-splitting sword!

This is a place within a radius of thirty meters, free of any gravel, silt, or aquatic plants. A nearly circular area covered with fine white sand suddenly appears beneath the riverbed.

No fish, shrimp, or strange fish dared to swim nearby.

In the very center of the white sand, on a large blue stone, there is a weapon resembling a ring-pommel sword stuck in the ground.

A black iron chain was attached to the ring on the hilt of the knife.

This is the water-dividing sword!
Within Chen Xiuxian's spiritual eye technique, the light shone brightly and was very conspicuous.

However, getting your hands on the Water-Splitting Sword isn't easy!

Chen Xiuxian saw a long, eel-like fish monster emerging from a pile of rocks not far away.

This thing even has six eyes on its head, and its mouth is round and can be opened like a worm, with rings of barbed teeth inside.

This thing is really ugly!
Six-eyed Vampire Eel, Level 30 Boss Unit...

Chen Xiuxian is facing some difficulties in this battle.

Since they were in the water, he could only use about 80% of his skills at most.

Because it was the Illusionary Spirit Realm, he was hesitant to release the [Azure Sun Jade Venerable Statue (Red)], fearing it might attract some "big monster"!
They did release the flying centipedes from the [Dragon Raising Box (Red)], but these things are as dumb as earthworms underwater. They're practically free kills!
You know what, all my summoning skills are useless underwater.

Therefore, he could only rely on the protection of the Vajra Umbrella to wield the Ebony Sword to attack.

This will be a real test of his sword control skills, especially since sword control is a high-level skill that most small sects don't possess.

He hasn't managed to get his hands on one yet—he's seen a few at auction houses, but none of them are worth less than 300 spirit stones.

He knew there were places in Liaodong where one could obtain sword control techniques, so he really couldn't bring himself to waste the money.

Whether or not one possesses sword control techniques makes a significant difference when it comes to flying swords.

If he possessed sword control techniques, Chen Xiuxian was confident he could kill the strange fish in the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. But now, after fighting for the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, two sticks of burning sorghum husks had already burned down, and he still hadn't completely subdued the strange fish!
That strange fish had unusually high defensive capabilities due to its slimy body. Although it didn't have any special attack methods, its ability to suck blood from a distance was broken by the Vajra Umbrella. However, it could instinctively manipulate water flow. Fortunately, Chen Xiuxian had obtained a [Red Alligator Drum] in the Wuyou dungeon, and by playing the drum while flying on his sword, he was able to handle it.

After fighting for half an hour, the strange fish was unable to break through Chen Xiuxian's defenses and instead ended up covered in wounds.

The most serious wound was almost severed in two by the ebony sword, and by this time, no one knew how much blood had been lost.

Although the Water-Splitting Sword was extremely effective against aquatic creatures, making it incredibly covetous, it naturally felt the urge to retreat when faced with a life-or-death situation.

Although it's already level 30, this strange fish isn't very intelligent.

This isn't the same as animals becoming spirits; this thing is a monster!
However, Chen Xiuxian did not give it a chance to escape.

Just as the strange fish was about to escape, Chen Xiuxian took out his [Bewitching Thousand Miles Realm (Blue)], which had been fused with his own power several times. It was no longer "crippled" but still hadn't reached the red quality.

But its bewitching effect is greatly enhanced!
The strange fish glanced at the mirror and saw another strange fish in it. Then it froze, gently slapping its tail in the water, as if it had forgotten everything around it.

In the next instant, the ebony sword entered his brain from his eyes!

This strange fish has no scales, but it has a thick layer of mucus, which has an excellent defensive effect.

Even when the ebony sword is used to slash at it, it can be easily deflected!

So Chen Xiuxian chose to pierce the monster's head directly through its eyeball, instantly penetrating it. The monster convulsed violently in the water, causing the surrounding river to surge violently. But it quickly died.

Chen Xiuxian quickly swam over, retrieved the card, and collected the corpse. Then he hurried over to pull out the Water-Splitting Sword.

Gambling ghost Ma Si'er and several other ghosts guarded the Dividing Water Sword outside Baisha. Chen Xiuxian was worried that someone might take advantage of the situation and profit from it.

As soon as he grasped the Water-Splitting Sword, a large amount of magical power involuntarily poured into it.

The water began to tremble, and the chains rattled!

Then the "Canglanglang" sword was drawn... from the stone!

The water-splitting sword was pulled out, and the entire water surface began to surge violently. Many strange fish and aquatic creatures darted around wildly as if an earthquake had struck.

At this point, they disregarded the restricted area of ​​this white sand and a large number of strange fish blindly rushed over.

Chen Xiuxian raised the Water-Splitting Sword, and the aquatic monsters were immediately pressed down on the riverbed as if they were carrying a thousand pounds, writhing and struggling.

Then the ebony sword transformed into black light, darting wildly through the water and rapidly harvesting!
Several aquatic monsters were killed in a single breath!

Within a radius of several hundred meters, there was no enemy who could withstand a single blow!
