Heaven-Sent Windfall

The Robbing Cultivator leader, Black Wind, flew his sword and arrived in front of the Flying Boat.

Originally, he planned to negotiate and say a few polite words.

He didn't expect Shen Xuan and the others to charge straight over.

Since that was the case.

He didn't need to hold back!

"Fire!"

With a command.

From the three Robbing Cultivator Flying Boats, various magical artifacts, spells, and talismans attacked, transforming into a dazzling array of colorful lights that bombarded Shen Xuan's Flying Boat like a fierce storm!

A cold sneer formed beneath Black Wind's mask.

He had just received news from Baldy Chen.

A group of Monster Hunters had hunted a complete Water Repelling Rhinoceros.

It was worth over ten thousand Spirit Stones.

Moreover, these Monster Hunters were of average strength.

They were returning to Qinglong Bay Market along the Longze River.

It was a rare opportunity to rob them!

He and Baldy Chen had cooperated for many years.

Without a second thought, he immediately gathered his team and waited here.

As expected, they had successfully intercepted them.

A Heaven-Sent Windfall!

He had never seen such reckless Monster Hunters before.

Facing three Robbing Cultivator Flying Boats that were ready for battle.

Instead of turning to flee, they charged straight at them.

Utterly foolish!

However.

The next scene made him widen his eyes.

The Longze River roared and boiled, with Water Spiritual Power constantly gathering to form Water Shields around the Flying Boat.

This was a common Spell used by Water Method Cultivators, the [Water Shield Technique].

However, others usually condensed one Water Shield.

What was going on with this high number of over a hundred Water Shields?

Close to the tip of the Flying Boat, a Water Cloud Shield was suddenly summoned. It grew rapidly against the wind, covering the entire Flying Boat.

The various attacks launched by over twenty Robbing Cultivators were all blocked by the Water Shields.

A few attacks that managed to reach the Flying Boat were also easily neutralized by the massive Water Cloud Shield.

"You bald bastard, you dared to trick me!"

Black Wind was a Sword Cultivator at Qi Refining Perfection.

He could tell at a glance that there was a high-level Water Method Cultivator on the Flying Boat.

Moreover, the Water Method was extremely Proficient, likely at Great Accomplishment!

The current attacks from the Robbing Cultivators were simply not enough to stop the Flying Boat.

It seemed now...

He was in a difficult situation!

Black Wind's face darkened.

If Shen Xuan and the others escaped easily, morale would be lost, and the team would be hard to lead.

At this point, he had no choice but to act himself!

"Haste!"

A golden sword light suddenly lit up, shattering seven or eight Water Shields in succession before heavily striking the Water Cloud Shield.

It was Black Wind's Flying Sword technique, unleashed with Full effort!

The golden sword light flashed and disappeared.

A Dark Gold Flying Sword was forcefully embedded in the Water Cloud Shield, continuously reducing the Flying Boat's speed.

Shen Xuan frowned slightly.

The Water Spiritual Qi on the Water Cloud Shield was slowly dissipating.

"It's just a mid-grade magical artifact after all!"

Although empowered by the [Water Control Technique].

He was still blocked by the Black Wind Flying Sword.

"Qi Refining Perfection Sword Cultivator, the attack power is indeed formidable."

"That flying sword is at least Tier 1 High-grade! If I could take it and auction it at the auction, it would fetch thousands of Spirit Stones!"

Shen Xuan seemed to see a pile of glittering Spirit Stones beckoning to him.

Nowadays, everyone is struggling.

Who would dislike having too many Spirit Stones!

Shen Xuan's Divine Sense moved slightly.

[Water Control], [Critical Strike], [Iron Bones], [Water Condensation Edge Shaping Art]!

The waters of the Longze River seemed to be drawn, raising huge waves that surged around Shen Xuan.

The Water-Splitting Emei Dagger on his hand suddenly emitted a deep, three-zhang glow, and four Azure Green Ice Divine Dragons condensed into form, coiling around the tip.

Within a radius of thirty zhang, Water Spiritual Power continuously gathered onto the Ice Divine Dragons, their aura growing stronger and stronger.

"Hurry!"

Shen Xuan pointed at the Black Wind.

The four Azure Green Ice Divine Dragons rushed forward one after another.

The ordinary [Water Condensation Edge Shaping Art] could only condense one Ice Divine Dragon.

Shen Xuan's [Water Condensation Edge Shaping Art], however, continuously condensed Ice Divine Dragons at the tip of the Water-Splitting Emei Dagger.

Four every few breaths.

Continuously absorbing the Water Spiritual Qi from the Longze River, they were endless, bombarding relentlessly.

Within a hundred zhang radius, everything was within the attack range of the Ice Divine Dragons transformed by the [Water Condensation Edge Shaping Art].

With the enhancement of multiple talents, Shen Xuan's [Water Condensation Edge Shaping Art], although still at the Proficient stage, possessed much greater power than ordinary cultivators who had refined it to Great Accomplishment.

In just over ten breaths, more than a dozen Ice Divine Dragons, baring their fangs and claws, flew out.

"Splash!"

On the Longze River, the sound of rushing water continuously surged and churned.

On the three Flying Boats blocking the way, the Robbing Cultivators on board all had faces as pale as paper, summoning their Magic Tool Talismans to resist the Ice Divine Dragons emitting a destructive aura.

"Rumble!"

With deafening roars, the icy blades of the Ice Divine Dragon broke through various Magic Tool Talismans, fiercely striking the Robbing Cultivators' Flying Boats!

The protective spiritual light on the three Robbing Cultivators' Flying Boats flickered for only a few breaths before dimming and dissipating. The continuous Ice Divine Dragons carved gaps into them, tearing them apart, and they plummeted down in pieces!

At the same time.

Seven or eight Ice Divine Dragons all shot towards Black Wind.

Shen Xuan was giving the Qi Refining Perfection Sword Cultivator quite a bit of face.

Black Wind's expression changed drastically.

Only now did he understand that he had made a fatal mistake.

The Water Method Monster Hunter on the Flying Boat was much stronger than he had imagined!

So strong that he couldn't resist at all!

He patted his waist.

A golden ring Magic Tool appeared before him, spinning non-stop.

However, this High-grade Defensive Magic Tool could only withstand two Ice Divine Dragons before it couldn't hold on any longer, its spiritual light dimming.

This bought Black Wind a few seconds.

He let out an angry roar, his body turning into a black smoke as he rapidly fled.

He didn't even have time to retrieve his Flying Sword and golden ring!

Shen Xuan conveniently collected the Flying Sword and golden ring, watching Black Wind's retreating figure with a trace of annoyance.

If he were in the water, he could still chase after him.

But Black Wind knew he was a Water Method Cultivator, and his escape direction was towards the high sky.

This also made Shen Xuan hesitate.

The further he was from water, the more his strength decreased.

Shen Xuan calculated in his mind and ultimately gave up the pursuit.

Safety first.

Without absolute certainty, there was no need to force a fight.

The Flying Boat accelerated and sped away.

"Talisman Master Shen, don't chase a cornered enemy! Let's return to the market!"

"Alright!"

Shen Xuan immediately retracted his Water Cloud Shield and stood at the head of the Flying Boat once more.

He had promised that the Flying Boat would return safely.

After a while, he noticed that Xia Muqing's mouth had been hanging open the entire time.

"Fellow Daoist Xia..."

Xia Muqing reached up and pressed her jaw, then rubbed her stiff cheek.

"Talisman Master Shen, what is your Cultivation Realm exactly?"

"Qi Refining Level 6."

"Impossible!"

Xia Muqing's face was full of disbelief. "I'm also Qi Refining Level 6, and a Water Method Cultivator. How come I feel like the gap between us is a little bit big?"

Shi Xiangdong nodded and said, "It is a bit big."

"Very big!" This was Wen Zijian's judgment.

Shen Xuan smiled faintly.

"The Cultivation Method and Spells I practice are both secret transmissions from my Sect."

"Furthermore, a few years ago, I suddenly awakened some Mysterious Bloodline Talent."

Xia Muqing could only believe Shen Xuan's explanation.

Everyone had their secrets.

Shen Xuan didn't need to explain in the first place.

"Talisman Master Shen, do you still take disciples?"

"Can I become your disciple?"

"Will you teach me?"

Shen Xuan had a face full of apology.

"Sorry, the Cultivation Method and Spells have Sect restrictions, so I can't pass them on privately."

Xia Muqing still wanted to struggle.

Zhao Chunsheng sternly shouted, "Enough! We'll talk about anything when we get back to the market! We haven't escaped danger yet!"
