Dragon Enters the Sea, Heaven Bestows Its Blessing

It was evening, and we were approaching the coast.

The afterglow of the setting sun spilled across the sky, making the world one color.

The sea breeze was salty and damp, and hundreds of believers on the shore stood up. A banquet was set up here, with red carpets on the ground, wooden tables set up, and experts taking their seats.

More than ten black iron boats blocked the river. But two of them had already been overturned and sunk by the dragon's tail.

As the Dragon-Riding Ship slowly approached, surrounded by formidable enemies, Wen Caishang remained calm and composed, her demeanor serene and graceful.

Wen Caishang, Li Xian, and Lao Long, having traveled a great distance, finally arrived here. The followers on both sides of the strait immediately stood up and looked at Sheng Yunfei.

The Black Dragon Sect is extremely famous and powerful. Its leader, Sheng Tianxiong, is a powerful and ruthless figure. His son, Sheng Yunfei, inherits his father's ambition and is no ordinary man either.

Sheng Yunfei's expression was unfocused as he scrutinized Wen Caishang. He couldn't help but drift into a daze. Just moments before, he had been annoyed by her strength, respected her power, feared her methods, and was extremely curious about her.

Upon meeting him now, his appearance, demeanor, voice, figure, and bearing far exceeded my expectations.

Sheng Yunfei muttered, "What a beauty, what a beauty! Everyone here is a member of my Black Dragon Sect, yet she ventures into this formation alone and remains so composed!" With an elegant air, he said loudly, "Yun Fei, young lady."

Hundreds of people attacked the river together, their momentum already immense. And from the lower mountains, the sound of drums could be heard.

The drummers were constantly harassed by flying arrows. They felt like they had thorns in their backs and a thorn in their throats. They were extremely frustrated, being in the open yet unable to defend themselves against the hidden arrows.

Liu Yuhang said, "Is that necessarily true? But you know someone who can do this with just Archery."

"Get out!" The dragon's voice was like muffled thunder.

Zhou Tianxing said, "That formation is indeed powerful. Even gathering enough low-level experts to arrange it requires considerable skill. Only his sect leader could possess such ability. However, all formations in the world must defy certain principles."

Two men, barely over ten feet tall, stood guard at the river mouth. Their frail hands, resembling those of giants, held small nets filled with black ink and fiercely splashed them at the dragon.

The iron rod struck the lake, its heavy, round end creating a splash of water. Infused with Inner Qi, the round end vibrated slowly, turning the splash into a thick mist.

Upon hearing the drumbeat, Li Xian suddenly twisted his body and shot to the other side. I held the Ecliptic Bow, and the more I used it, the more comfortable I became with it.

He glanced at the sky; the setting sun was about to disappear, but its afterglow still lingered. He thought, "While this is the perfect opportunity, it's still a bit too late." How could he hesitate? With a wave of his hand, he immediately shouted, "Move out!"

Li Xian thought to himself, "Lady Broken Sword, Lady Broken Sword... Her strength can subdue heroes, her beauty can subdue heroes, and her knowledge can also subdue heroes. You martial artists should have knowledge as vast as the sea!" He was extremely impressed.

Li Xian's Archery were natural. Before "Seven Square Fist" Peak Mastery, my ability to twist the force line, change posture, and reverse direction was also very natural.

The arrow flew, and the Huangyu County pendant vibrated seven times. Where the arrow passed, a yellow rainbow remained, its momentum unmatched. When Li Xian shot the arrow, he applied the essence of the "Clearwind Leg" technique, making the arrow fly like a gentle breeze, elusive yet catchingable.

In an instant, the fog dissipated and surged in.

Liu Yuhang was in a daze. But what he saw was not a galloping dragon, but the Zhou Tian Star at the dragon's head.

The key to the Sheng Yunfei Drum Formation lies in the sound of the "beating drums." These drums are located deep within the mountains of Disheng, and even Liu Yuhang, with his divine swordsmanship, finds it difficult to reach them.

The waterway has begun to be sloping.

The Python Flood Dragon shook off its dejected state. Wind and clouds gathered, thunder and rain raged. The dragon roamed the sky, traveling 74,000 li to the river, finally attaining enlightenment.

Liu Yuhang had initially thought there were no skilled archers on the ship, and was quite surprised to find such a capable person. When the clouds and mist cleared, he saw that the person holding the bow was only a few years old, which surprised him greatly.

But that formation had its minor drawbacks.

"His formation, derived from Star-Gazing, must violate the principles of Sheng Yunfei's fighting style. Once it's established, it's as if the opponent is trapped in the low sky thousands of miles away, surrounded by white darkness. It traps them until they are exhausted and defeated, is that what it is?"

"Let's forget about it," Zhou Tianxing said.

Hundreds of believers from both sides of the river rushed to the banks, each holding a white iron rod. The rods were of ordinary design, with a round end, but with several fine holes drilled through them.

Li Xian took a step back, focused his Qi into his Dantian, and his eyes gleamed with a sharp light. He immediately drew back the bowstring, listened to the drumbeat to pinpoint the location, and shot an arrow. The Huangyu County trembled seven times, the arrow shaft was covered with yellow light, and its speed was slowed down.

"He's already trapped in the formation. Even if he knows the principles, what can he do?" Wen Caishang asked.

Liu Yuhang said, "Since you already know the key to this formation, there's no harm in telling him directly. Sheng Yunfei's drum formation doesn't have a single drumbeat. It's located far away at the foot of a low mountain. Even if his Archery are weak, he would have a very hard time hitting the drum."

Wen Caishang's expression changed. I have studied this formation extensively and used it many times. The formation's miraculous effects have never been revealed before.

Zhou Tianxing said, "Your name is nothing to worry about."

Wen Caishang asked warily, "Miss Cai Shang, could you be referring to 'The Divine Arrow of Ten Thousand Miles'? Am I also on the ship?"

Zhou Tianxing laughed and said, "Shoot again."

The Python Flood Dragon nodded and charged into the sea. Liu Yuhang unleashed eight sword strikes in quick succession, shattering the iron net. The Python Flood Dragon could not be stopped; it leaped out of the river and soared towards the small sea.

"Once the underlying principles are understood, the problem can be easily solved."

Wen Caishang was slightly taken aback and shouted, "Set up the net! Set up the net!"

The sound reverberated several times, demonstrating the immense power of his Inner Qi.

Wen Caishang wanted to speak with Zhou Tianxing, ask for his name, and befriend him. She had heard that he was also knowledgeable in astrology and wished to discuss its mysteries with him. However, seeing that things were going well, she feared it would be difficult to maintain a peaceful relationship with him, and also thought that such a man was definitely not someone she had met before. Now that she knew his name was "Cai Shang," she would have someone else investigate him, but she hadn't had a chance to meet him recently.

The drummer, caught off guard, wielded his drumstick and struck at the arrow. I managed to knock it down, but a seventh arrow followed immediately. I swung my drumstick, desperately defending the drum, but my strength was greatly diminished.

turn out to be...

Layer upon layer of resonance, interconnected formations, revealing miraculous effects. Suppressing Inner Qi, strange phenomena... bewitching the mind, disorienting people.

Seizing the opportunity, the Python Flood Dragon swung its tail and sped towards the estuary.

With a whoosh, they approached a drum. The drummer was strong; he immediately raised his hand to grab it. Suddenly, an arrow split into eight, dodging the grab and piercing the drum.

Yes, we are the ones in the shadows, yet vulnerable to attacks from the open. Liu Yuhang thought to himself, "You underestimate Li Xian's Archery. You think I can break this small formation by myself with the Ecliptic Bow?"

Zhou Tianxing smiled faintly, "Is it difficult? You can also do a fraction of Star-Gazing divination."

This formation is simple. It requires 880 low-level fighters, distributed in 880 different directions, subtly corresponding to the positions of the stars. They then resonate with each other through drumming, chest-pounding, and performing formation-based martial arts.

The dragon snorted in response, lowering its head and letting the Zhou Tian Xing star appear on its body. The dragon roared at Wen Caishang, revealing its sharp teeth and displaying its ferocity.

Wen Caishang's expression changed.

Each arrow shot was imbued with a vulgarity and meaning. The drummer, though weak, dared to face the enemy and needed to concentrate to deal with them, as the rhythm of the drumming had already been disrupted.

The dragon entered the sea, swam for a while, and then returned to the shore. Wen Caishang said, "Old dragon descendant, you have manifested as a dragon! Congratulations, congratulations!"

"How did he know those things..." Wen Caishang's expression changed.

"Miss Cai Shang is too modest!" Wen Caishang said, "You set up this trap for me because you share the same stance. This dragon is of no use to you and clearly intends to oppose me. If you mind, Yun Fei Cai Shang, will apologize beforehand."

Zhou Tianxing lightly leaped up, landing on the dragon's head, and said, "Young dragon, you may charge forward."

Zhou Tianxing laughed and said, "Is that formation difficult to break?"

Zhou Tianxing said, "I've long heard that the White Dragon Sect has many leaders who enjoy studying the stars of the world and have devised a small formation based on them, capable of killing anyone who gets in their way."

Wen Caishang laughed, "You are extremely capable, as you naturally know. But your Eight Hundred and Eighty Sheng Yunfei Drum Formation, he is determined to..."

The next moment he shot an arrow to the right. The instant before, he shot to the left, with unparalleled accuracy and formidable power. His strength alone was enough to rival that of several archers.

"Young lady, you have traveled thousands of miles without complaint. You have overcome numerous obstacles along the way, demonstrating your considerable strength. In a one-on-one fight, Yun Fei knows he is no match for you. However, I have been preparing for the dragon-slaying matter for many days and am unwilling to give up easily. I hope you will not blame me for the fact that we will be outnumbered later."

Suddenly, the light of heaven gathered, and a divine gift descended!

"Bad! Bad!" Wen Caishang said admiringly, "Miss Cai Shang, you are so knowledgeable and learned, I admire you. In my entire life, I have never been impressed by anyone. Today, I truly admire you!"

This net is made of tough material and soaked in the urine of fourteen different exotic beasts. It is tainted with foul air and is most lethal to half-dragons about to enter the sea. Once it covers them, it becomes immediately hard and powerful.

Zhou Tianxing said, "It will be broken."

Wen Caishang sighed heavily, knowing she had missed her chance. Her gaze fixed on the sea. The Python Flood Dragon had completed its final transformation, its scales gleaming with gold, its horns majestic and imposing.

However, by concentrating on dealing with the flying arrows, the drumbeats become stronger and the resonance is more effective, thus reducing the intensity of Sheng Yunfei's drum formation.

The exploration of the terrain must be delayed. Because each position is extremely arbitrary. It must be arranged according to the arrangement of the Sheng Yunfei and the stars. However, the terrain is ever-changing, so the exploration must be delayed before it can be deployed.

"Yun Fei really wants to know the young lady's name and make friends. You are the leader of the White Dragon Sect, but in the vast Jianghu, you are hardly a nameless figure..."

The drumbeats became disordered, and the formation naturally broke apart. The Python Flood Dragon emerged from the river and inhaled sharply, drawing the water mist into its body, which then stirred up waves that swept across the weak forces on both banks.

"You also know that his formation becomes even more powerful at night when the stars are visible in the sky and reflected in the starlight."

Zhou Tianxing said, "What kind of divine arrow is this? Great Immortal, shoot the drum!"

The river was shrouded in mist, which was very disturbing. Even if one did not Throwing Strike arts skills, it was still highly likely that one would accidentally touch the drum.

He then said, "Young dragon, since you are welcome, you may leave now."

Wen Caishang said confidently, "You already know your strength, young lady. Your young brothers are definitely capable of fighting him head-on. If you were to injure you, you would be willing; if you were to lose your brothers, you would also be willing. Your swordsmanship is weak, but breaking your formation is a small possibility."

Wen Caishang was overjoyed. "I've heard of your name, and I know your likes and dislikes. Have you perhaps studied you?" She was slightly pleased and respectfully replied, "You already know my name is Cai Shang. Do you know my surname?"

"What a pity, what a pity." Wen Caishang was itching to try, her excitement hard to suppress, but she was willing to give up. She continued, "Your small formation requires the combined efforts of eight hundred and eighty Jianghu to be effective. How about that? If you have a way to break the formation, please tell me your name."
