Although the Dragon Slaying Festival is not a formal competition, the rewards for the champion are still quite considerable for these Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The dragonfish on the surface of the water were quickly killed, and many people began to dive underwater.

Liu Guanzhi was well-versed in the doctrine of the mean, and he maintained a steady pace of killing while blending into the crowd.

Seeing that most of the cultivators had entered the river, he glanced at the shore and then followed the others into the water.

The entire Dragon Slaying Ceremony lasts for three days.

Time passed slowly, until the moon was high in the sky, and suddenly a bright blue light shone from beneath the originally dim river water.

"There's something unusual underwater. Be prepared to act."

A familiar voice transmission reached her ears, and Lin Qingyu's eyes narrowed slightly as she slowly expanded her divine sense once more.

The Nascent Soul cultivator from the Xie family remained calmly seated in his original spot, while the cultivator surnamed Tian on the high platform had already stood up and was gazing at the unusual activity on the river.

"Boom!"

The next moment, a towering column of water suddenly burst open in the middle of the river, and huge waves surged toward the shore, carrying many of the participating cultivators.

"What is that?!"

Someone gasped in surprise.

A massive black shadow was slowly rising from the water column.

The creature was enormous, with the part above the water alone measuring tens of feet long. Its entire body was covered in jet-black scales, and its blood-red eyes were filled with overwhelming malevolent energy.

Lin Qingyu flashed, precisely pulling two figures out of the waves and avoiding their impact.

"senior?"

Ning Wanyu looked pleasantly surprised.

"snort!"

Ning Yuan looked resistant.

Seeing the injury on Ning Wanyu's foot, Lin Qingyu frowned slightly and shoved the woman in her arms into the arms of the young man who had regained his balance.

"If you don't want to die, hurry up and get out of here with your sweetheart."

Ning Yuan stared blankly at the woman in his arms, her face flushed with shyness, and stood there dumbfounded for a moment.

What happened?

Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?

"Hiss~"

Ning Yuan looked down when a sharp pain shot through his waist, and saw Ning Wanyu pinching the soft flesh of his waist hard.

Seeing that he was still in a daze, Ning Wanyu had no choice but to whisper a few words in his ear.

"You...you..."

Ning Yuan stared in disbelief at the handsome young man with an expressionless face not far away, pointing at her without saying a word for a long time.

"Hehehe~ Kid, if you don't get lost, your wife will really belong to me."

Lin Qingyu let out a strange laugh, her tone full of malice.

"Whoosh~"

The two instantly transformed into streaks of light and sped towards Wangjiang City, while a voice transmission sounded at the same time:

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

"Tch~"

Lin Qingyu curled her lips in disdain. If she had the tools to commit the crime, with her skills in picking up girls, she could have enjoyed ninety percent of the beauties in the world all by herself!

"roar!"

After the delay, the giant beast in the water finally revealed its full form.

It was a dragon loach magnified countless times, but its aura was extremely terrifying, having already reached the true Nascent Soul realm.

Moreover, it exuded an extremely domineering and chilling aura, which made Lin Qingyu feel very uncomfortable.

She glanced at the two Nascent Soul cultivators who had already stepped forward, her eyes darted around, and her figure slowly dissipated in mid-air, her aura completely disappearing.

"Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​this beast has grown powerful. How about we join forces to kill it?"

The Xie family patriarch's voice remained loud and clear, and he appeared righteous and awe-inspiring.

"it is good."

The old man surnamed Tian didn't think much of it and readily agreed. After all, in Wangjiang City, who would dare to lay a hand on the Tian family?

But at that moment, a clear voice entered his ears.

His expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and continued to slowly approach the giant beast.

"Make your move!"

The Xie family patriarch shouted sharply, and his palm slammed down hard on the old man in front of him.

"boom!"

The next moment, the attacks of the two Nascent Soul cultivators collided, creating shockwaves in mid-air that caused the surrounding river water to recoil, revealing the jagged rocks at the bottom of the river.

"Xie Hong! What do you think you're doing?!"

The old man surnamed Tian was both shocked and furious. He retreated several feet, his chest heaving slightly.

If it weren't for the earlier telepathic message that gave him time to prepare, he would probably have already been ambushed. Even if his divine sense could detect the attack, he would have suffered a great loss in the chaos.

"Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​I'm sorry, but you must die here today."

Xie Hong's lips curled into a sinister smile, and the surrounding spiritual energy once again rapidly converged towards him.

"You dare!"

The elderly man surnamed Tian retreated rapidly once again.

"Aren't you afraid that the Tian family will settle scores with you later? Your Xie clan will be wiped out then."

"so..."

Xie Hong's sinister smile suddenly widened, and half of the night was completely obscured by the dark spiritual energy, becoming utterly gloomy.

"You're all going to die here!"

"boom!"

Lin Qingyu mingled among the crowd below, once again disguising himself as an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, but his divine sense was constantly observing the battle between the two Nascent Soul cultivators.

But as she watched, she began to feel that even Nascent Soul cultivators weren't that strong.

In fact, this was not Lin Qingyu's illusion, but rather that the Nascent Soul cultivators she had faced in the past were not on the same level as these two.

The Nascent Soul True Monarchs of a super sect like the Ten Thousand Demons Sect need no further introduction.

People like the Crimson Moon True Person of the Hehuan Sect and the Moon Gazing True Person who will break through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future both possess extremely strong sect foundations.

But these two people in front of me...

One was an old man about to die, and the other was a low-level cultivator who forcibly broke through to a higher realm using some kind of crooked method.

The battle of magic appeared spectacular, but it was all show and no substance.

Lin Qingyu felt that if she wanted to capture and kill these two people head-on, it would definitely not take more than three moves. This was the confidence that her strong foundation gave her!

"Roar~"

The giant dragon loach clearly possessed intelligence; instead of participating in the battle between the two Nascent Soul cultivators, it lunged towards the crowd on the shore.

"ah!!!"

"Run! This is a Nascent Soul demon beast!"

The scene was extremely chaotic. Just as everyone was preparing to escape on their swords, huge barriers suddenly rose up all around, instantly enveloping everyone.

"Oh no! It's a fourth-order formation."

Among them was an unlucky passerby, Emperor, who immediately recognized the origin of the barrier.

"What should we do?"

But reality gave them no time to think; the stench behind them relentlessly devoured one cultivator after another.

"Go to hell!"

In the chaos, a hand was about to reach out to the middle-aged man that Lin Qingyu had transformed into, and the man had a ferocious smile on his face.

Lin Qingyu turned around and delivered a clean and swift side kick to the man's chest.

"Get out of here!"

"Ah! You're not going to talk..."

Before he could finish speaking, the man felt a tremendous force strike him, and he was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, only to be swallowed whole by the giant beast that followed.

Lin Qingyu landed gracefully, then turned and continued to flee into the crowd without looking back.

It wasn't that she was afraid of the dragon loach; the people from Wuxiang Tower hadn't shown up yet, and the Changye Royal Court, which might have intervened, hadn't appeared either. Taking action now would only make her a sitting duck for a few forces.

Unlike hiding in a crowd, she only needed to outrun the group of Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators.

But Lin Qingyu still had a question in her mind... Where did Lao Liu go?

At this moment, in a hidden cave beneath the river's surface, a middle-aged man with a sinister face sat quietly cross-legged, array patterns slowly forming on his palm.

His eyes were closed, and his face was calm.

But he was very puzzled... Where did that Nascent Soul woman go?
