Crimson Demon Roc
Long Zongyin was not carrying any weapons.
He came to get the ice, never expecting a fight to break out.
But it doesn't matter.
Twist your waist and hips, gather strength for a palm strike.
Buzz! A palm strike appeared, and layers of water rippled out like umbrella-shaped waves, which lapped against the bottom of the boat, causing the entire small boat to suddenly become shallower.
Before the people on the boat could react, Long Zongyin, then pulled back his arm and elbow, and in the midst of the raging water, he naturally pulled back, as if he had grabbed the water and the boat in his palm.
Then, the squeezing and friction of the ship's planks made my teeth ache.
Long Zongyin clenched his fist and slammed it out with tremendous force, just like a general on the battlefield riding his horse and wielding a hammer.
With just one punch, the entire large flatboat was propelled forward, like a pine plank that had been pressed down into the water, suddenly leaping out!
His white robes fluttered in the wind, like Trapped Dragon Ascends to Heaven.
The Dragon Bone shattered in an instant, the planks on both sides burst open, exposing the ship's ribs, like a person being slowly sliced to death, with flesh and blood removed in the blink of an eye, leaving only a skeleton.
However, the skeleton did not last long either.
Click.
Bang! A torrential downpour erupted over the entire Great Marsh, and countless splinters, each less than a foot long, burst open, crashing down along with a dozen or so figures.
Overbearing!
Powerful!
Ran Zhongshi's temples throbbed, and he felt that his presence was completely unnecessary.
Long Zongyin alone is enough to deal with this Ghost Mother Sect force that was watching from the sidelines.
By the time the members of the Ghost Mother Sect on the ship realized they were being attacked, they had already begun freefalling and crashing onto the water.
Two sharp Gang Wind swept across the water's surface from the sky filled with wood chips.
The Great Martial Master of the Ghost Mother Sect launched a counterattack.
Long Zongyin dodged to the side, following the flow of water, and easily avoided the attack.
Splash! Splash! Large pieces of wood floated on the water's surface, and the Ghost Mother Sect fell into the water like dumplings being dropped into a pot, bursting into screams.
"Rush!"
Ran Zhongshi couldn't let Long Zongyin steal the spotlight by performing a solo act, so he took the lead and found a fellow Great Martial Master of the Lower Realm.
Liang Qu drew his bow and nocked an arrow, his burning Golden Eye fixed on a weaker member of the Wolf Smoke Cult. Before the opponent could regain his footing in the water, Chasing Moon Arrow without leaving a trace.
Whoosh! Pfft!
The Profound Water Arrow pierced through the skull, its fletching drawing out a spray of blood.
The lifeless body plummeted straight to the bottom of the water.
The Dragonfolk facing off was shocked and instinctively leaned back to avoid a vital spot. He turned around and saw that it was Liang Qu. Realizing what was happening, he turned around to support his other companions.
Liang Qu nocked a second arrow and scanned the battlefield, searching for an opportunity and a target.
He doesn't seek out experts; he only picks those below the level of those in the midst of the Wolf Smoke.
If the opponent is weak, using the Chasing Moon Arrow to find the right moment to launch a sneak attack can easily result in a fatal blow! Afterwards, the Dragonfolk who are free can return to support the others, creating a two-on-one or three-on-one advantage, which can accumulate into an even greater advantage.
The screams were incessant.
Looking out, the Great Marsh swamp was stained red with blood, and scattered large pieces of broken wood floated on the water.
Apart from the two Great Martial Master struggling to hold on, turning into afterimages as they fought and killed each other, creating a large amount of white turbulence, the entire battlefield was completely overturned.
Our side already had more beacon Wolf Smoke.
Dragonfolk make up the vast majority of the population and primarily fight underwater; one Dragonfolk is equivalent to one and a half people!
If it's three against one, forget about dying, it's hard to even get injured!
After more than a dozen screams.
Liang Qu put down his bow and arrow and put them back in the quiver.
Three arrows, three lives; after that, there were no more opponents, all wiped out!
Simple and easy, Great Merit done.
In the center of the battlefield, Ran Zhongshi, having only recently entered the Great Martial Master realm, was unaccustomed to underwater combat. With the help of Long Zongyin, he painstakingly killed a lower-level Great Martial Master, and then secretly finished him off, finally capturing the second one alive.
Throughout the entire Long Zongyin did not kill a single person; he was only responsible for containing them from the front.
It's all about human relationships and social interactions.
"Call!"
Ran Zhongshi surfaced, panting heavily.
The Dragonfolk descended one by one and retrieved the corpses of the Ghost Mother Sect's followers.
There were three survivors in total.
Two Wolf Smoke Expert, and one Hunting Tiger Great Martial Master.
They still didn't understand why they had been discovered by the River Conservancy Office.
I don't understand how, while the entire River Conservancy Office is fighting the Iron Head Fish, they can still spare so much force to besiege us?
Back on the ice transport ship.
"The entire million catties of Old Ice have been delivered. Elder, please inspect them yourself. Also, please keep an eye on these two Ghost Elder Ghost Mother Sect members for now, and be careful to avoid any accidents. We are heading to support the battlefield!"
Ran Zhongshi looked excited.
"Alright! Pingjiang, Ping He, you take half the people and go with the rest of us!"
"Yes, sir!"
To eat both ends.
The group quickly changed direction and rushed into the center of the valley, the most intense part of the battlefield.
Liang Qu Golden Eye blazed fiercely.
A vast array of true energy manifested in all directions.
Flying fish and running beasts, swords, spears, and halberds, all in various colors—it's practically light pollution!
The most eye-catching one is a red roc located in the center left position!
Behind the crimson roc, three blazing suns burned fiercely.
Beneath the giant bird...
Liang Qu narrowed his eyes slightly, and saw the Great Martial Master fighting the fish demon under the red true energy.
Wei Lin!
His true energy also has a form! The entire crimson bird, like Xu Yuelong, is filled with inexplicable spiritual energy, but its style is quite different.
Xu Yuelong's "Long River Full Moon" gives people a sense of serene coolness.
Wei Lin's Three Suns in the Sky was filled with magnificent power, scorching everything in its path; just looking at him made one sweat profusely.
Especially the exaggerated size of the Roc!
His Master's Great Smiting Demon Subduing Saber was over ten zhang long, about forty to fifty meters long.
The Roc's wingspan was over a hundred meters, making it the largest of all the True Qi! Liang Qu's own Azure Dragon True Aura was a little over ten feet but less than two feet; in comparison, it was like a cabbage worm...
While the bird's unique body shape and the resulting large wingspan certainly contribute to its extraordinary appearance, this is enough to demonstrate its exceptional nature.
No wonder Wei Lin has a bad temper; everyone just puts up with it and still has to call him when necessary.
Among all the second-generation Great Martial Master in Pingyang Prefecture, judging solely from his True Qi performance, Wei Lin should be the most capable fighter. Currently, he is engaged in a fierce one-on-one battle underwater with a fish demon from the Upper Realm.
The others either challenged the lower realm or joined forces with the Dragonfolk and Frog Clan to fight one of them.
"Could it be that he attained enlightenment on Bing Fire Day?"
Liang Qu stared at the roc, wondering what it might be, but it didn't quite seem like it.
The Bing Fire Day Master has two large and two small suns, with a very obvious difference in size.
Behind the crimson roc, three equally sized suns blazed.
"It can't be one sun that manifests three times, can it...?"
"A Shui, charge!"
There wasn't much time for Liang Qu to think; he drew his bow and arrow and joined the battle alongside the others.
The crimson patterns on the Abyssal Wood Bow in his hand spread out, shimmering with red light, forming a long string, ready to kill one by one, specifically targeting lone monster fish.
Lantern Fish, in particular, are very easy to spot because they have a glowing lantern on their heads.
During the battle, Xu Yuelong, who was exchanging blows with the Gang Liu, noticed Liang Qu's arrival, took a moment to pay attention, and then regained his focus.
Times change.
As the battle entered its second half, many people defeated their opponents and were able to free up their hands and focus their attention to support others.
Even if the Dragonfolk were truly scheming, they wouldn't dare to make a move.
By accumulating more victories, we can obtain a larger share of the 500,000 taels of resources later.
Holding the Abysswood, Liang Qu slid sideways with the current to avoid the Pufferfish that fell on his head.
Fish are being caught everywhere, both in the sky and on the ground.
Every now and then, a fish demon or Big Frog would suddenly fall right in front of you, or someone would free up their hand and swim up from below to ambush or provide support.
Only by looking up and down can one realize that a battle had been taking place on either side of oneself, without one noticing.
The whole feeling was completely different from when they besieged the Ghost Mother Sect.
On land, you only need to observe yourself in front, behind, left, and right. But underwater, you have to be constantly vigilant above and below. Simply keeping your eyes on all sides is far from enough.
It is too dangerous for many Martial Master who are not used to underwater combat.
Combat habits formed through long-term training are difficult to change overnight.
If one is not careful, they will be ambushed.
To avoid attracting attention, Liang Qu used the Chasing Moon Arrow, which was silent and left no trace.
Shoot secretly.
