From Paper Craftsman to World-Suppressing Immortal

Zhang Zhixuan and his two companions fought a bloody battle with the River Patrol King all night, and by dawn they were all disheveled and exhausted.

At this point, both sides were completely enraged, and the battle had reached its final, all-or-nothing stage.

Just then, the River Patrol King let out a few strange laughs, mocking, "A few young brats, quite capable indeed, managing to force this great king to such a state!"

"What a pity! If even one of you three had crossed the threshold of supernatural powers, I, the Great King, would have had to admit defeat. Alas, the lowly human race is far inferior to demons in terms of innate abilities!"

"Today, I'll show you what true power I am before you die."

"Look, treasure!"

The River Patrol King opened its huge mouth and roared to the sky. Suddenly, its tattered scales shone with a dazzling five-colored divine light. Then, a blood-red bead the size of an adult's fist was slowly spat out by the River Patrol King.

"A natal demon pearl! This fish monster is really going all out! Be careful!"

Without needing any prompting, Zhang Zhixuan could sense from a great distance that the River Patrol King's depleted demonic power was gradually regaining its strength!

Given their current state, if the River Patrol King recovers even half of his demonic power, Zhang Zhixuan and the other two will certainly not fare well.

Escape is impossible; avoidance is futile.

The three of them could only grit their teeth and persevere, preparing to risk their lives and use all their remaining strength and abilities.

Just as the River Patrol King was fully activating his natal demon pearl, preparing to fight to the death...

Not far away, the headless scribe's figure slowly emerged from the water.

He stood on the water, his aura several times weaker than before, as if it might dissipate at any moment. His headless figure faced the River Patrol King, his proud and righteous verses suddenly resounding throughout the backwater:

"Heaven and earth possess righteous energy, which manifests in various forms."

The lower part is Heyue, and the upper part is the sun star.

To others, it is said that it is vast and overwhelming.

... "

The moment the poem was recited, a righteous spirit swept across the land!

The River Patrol King, who summoned the Demon Pearl in a desperate attempt to fight back, was the first to be affected. The Demon Pearl's power became unstable, vibrating and almost shattering.

On the other hand, Zhang Zhixuan and his two companions, upon hearing the headless scholar recite poetry, actually felt their exhaustion and depletion gradually ease, and their depleted strength was restored somewhat.

"Thank you so much for your help, senior!"

Zhang Zhixuan, Qingxuan, and Wuming bowed and thanked him. After speaking, Zhang Zhixuan activated the Demon-Slaying Sword Intent for the last time, Qingxuan made a hand seal and chanted the Thunder Incantation, and Wuming fully activated his Vajra Buddha Power. The three of them attacked the demon pearl spat out by the River Patrol King with all their might!

"kill!"

"roar!"

The demon pearl was struck by the combined force of the three, and the River Patrol King let out a terrified roar. He only lasted for a few breaths before the River Patrol King's demon pearl shattered with a loud crash. His massive body fell into the water with a mournful cry, and he lay weakly on the water's edge with his mouth wide open.

The headless scribe seemed to have exhausted his last bit of strength; his breath grew weaker and weaker, his form became increasingly transparent, and finally he vanished without a trace.

The three men breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the River Patrol King being completely subdued. Their legs went weak, and they almost collapsed to the ground.

They fought a very tough battle, from midnight until dawn, exhausting all their magical power and physical strength. They were all wounded and had narrowly escaped death. Especially at the last moment, if it weren't for the headless scribe's help, they would probably have been in grave danger.

"Damn it, I almost fell victim to this beast."

Qingxuan, panting heavily, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, cursed, and then kicked the River Patrol King, who was now weak and lying by the water's edge: "You've taken so many lives, today I'll send you on your way to pay for the deaths of those innocent people!"

Just then, the River Patrol King, who was already on the verge of death, suddenly opened his mouth and shouted, "You lot, do you know who I am? How dare you kill me?"

"I am the River Patrol King, appointed by the Four Seas Dragon Kings, and the nephew of the East Sea Dragon King! If you dare to kill me today, the Four Seas Dragon Clan will never let you go!"

"A relative of the Dragon King?"

Zhang Zhixuan sneered, his eyes icy: "I don't care who you are, I'll kill you today!"

"You dare?"

The River Patrol King roared, "I advise you to be sensible! If you release me now and kowtow to me in apology, I might say a few good words to the Dragon King and only kill the three of you! Otherwise, all the aquatic creatures of the four seas will raze this Linshuigu to the ground and make the entire human race of Tianjin pay with their lives!"

"Why waste words with it, kill it!" Just as the group was about to finish off the River Patrol King, with a "poof," the River Patrol King suddenly spat out its natal demon pearl, which exploded the moment it appeared!

A ripple signal shot downstream at breakneck speed, accompanied by the River Patrol King's maniacal laughter: "I've already sent a message to the nearby Dragon Kings and aquatic tribes! You're all doomed!"

The three men's expressions changed, and before they could react, the river downstream suddenly exploded!

Countless dark figures emerged from the water, hundreds of aquatic soldiers with fish heads and human bodies, each wielding a steel fork and clad in scale armor, exuding a demonic aura that instantly surrounded the entire backwater bay.

Leading the group was a massive alligator dragon, two zhang long, covered in jet-black armor. Its vertical pupils were icy and piercing, and it exuded a terrifying aura. As soon as it appeared, it stared intently at the three of them and roared coldly, "Who dares to be so bold as to injure the River Patrol King appointed by the Dragon King?"

Seeing his reinforcements arrive, the River Patrol King instantly perked up and roared madly, "Uncle! Save me! Those three not only injured me, but they also tried to kill me! They have no respect for the Four Seas Dragon Palace! Kill them quickly and avenge me!"

Upon hearing this, the great demon crocodile's eyes grew even colder, and its demonic aura surged instantly, making the three of them almost unable to breathe: "You insolent brats! This carp is the River Patrol King personally appointed by the Dragon King, a member of the Dragon Palace's royal family! If you dare to harm him, you are making an enemy of the entire Dragon Palace of the Four Seas. The Dragon King and his aquatic race will be enraged. Can you bear the consequences?"

Qingxuan and Wuming's faces turned deathly pale instantly. The battle had reached a point where it was impossible to continue. Whether they could kill the fish monster under its very nose was another matter, but even if they did, they wouldn't be able to leave alive.

"Layman Zhang, as long as the green hills remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood..."

Qingxuan tugged at Zhang Zhixuan's sleeve, his voice tinged with bitterness, and whispered, "Forget it, the Dragon Palace is too powerful, and we can't afford to offend it with our current abilities. Let's let it go for now, otherwise the three of us won't be able to leave this bay today..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhixuan frowned and looked at Wuming.

At this moment, Wuming was also filled with resentment and unwillingness, but in the end he sighed and shook his head at Zhang Zhixuan.

Seeing that the men had backed down, the river patrol king became even more smug. Relying on the support of his aquatic soldiers, he began to mock the three men relentlessly: "What? Got scared? Weren't you so capable just now? You even wanted to kill me? You think you're worthy? You're really courting death!"

Qingxuan and Wuming's faces grew even uglier, and they could only grit their teeth, not daring to say another word.

Zhang Zhixuan stood motionless, recalling the white bones and hundreds of floating corpses beneath the water, how many innocent souls had died tragically here, all because of this fish monster's words, "Let's savor the taste."

Looking at the arrogant fish monster, the menacing aquatic soldiers, and the corpses strewn across the riverbank, he could no longer suppress his anger.

Zhang Zhixuan gave a few bitter laughs and shook his head: "I admit it, I admit it, I admit it..."

The River Patrol King and his aquatic soldiers all sneered and scoffed. What audacity a mere human dares to challenge the Dragon King.

The River Patrol King opened his mouth wide and let out a harsh laugh. He was about to speak when suddenly, the magic sword in Zhang Zhixuan's hand fell down violently.

"Pfft!"

Blood splattered as the fish monster's head was instantly severed by a sword, rolling onto the riverbank. A smug smile remained on its face, its eyes wide open, unable to believe even in death that Zhang Zhixuan had actually dared to kill it in front of the Dragon King's aquatic soldiers.

The entire backwater bay fell into a deathly silence, broken only by Zhang Zhixuan's loud laughter and curses: "You rotten fish and shrimp, I'll never acknowledge your mother's leg!"

Qingxuan and Wuming's faces stiffened. They stared silently at Zhang Zhixuan's retreating figure for a brief moment, then burst into laughter: "Serves you right! Good riddance!"

Three breaths passed before the great crocodile demon reacted. Looking at the fish monster's head rolling on the ground, it trembled with rage and let out a deafening roar that shook the entire river.

"court death!"
