The Flood Dragon Demon

Zhang Xuezhou has an extremely keen sense of danger; he can sense a gentle current of water washing over the back of the giant Kun.

The constant scouring of the water also means that the water pressure they experience when diving underwater is much lower than under normal circumstances.

For Zhang Xuezhou, this was a safe and risk-free journey. He only needed to keep his body firmly in place to follow the giant Kun through the seabed.

This creature is as large as an island, but it is very docile; otherwise, it would not have been used as a sea steed by the School of Mohists.

The mounts would inevitably lead to where humans were, which is why he, Gongsun Hong, and Li Shaojun refused to let go of the giant Kun.

As they expected, Kun led them to a place with obvious signs of construction, and then swept them in with the waves.

Zhang Xuezhou and his group had no idea that they would be ambushed upon entering.

He dodged to the left, Gongsun Hong dodged to the right, while Li Shaojun was killed head-on by the monster.

"Adjust your bodies, then each of you can use your methods!"

Gongsun Hong shouted loudly, repeatedly exhaling and exhaling a breath of turbid air.

One died and two escaped. The three lost because they were caught off guard, and also because of the lingering pain from their long journey through the seabed, which made even breathing difficult.

Under these circumstances, it's almost impossible to perform at one's normal level.

Gongsun Hong was still furious and was about to throw out his protective book to fight back when he saw that the demon was chasing him at a leisurely pace, as if it had him cornered. This made Gongsun Hong quickly look around.

The group was at the foot of a mountain, where purple clouds swirled around the area, leaving only a few steps faintly visible.

If one does not rush up the mountain via the steps, the area below is only a hundred feet long and a few feet wide to accommodate oneself.

The flat ground has artificially carved anti-slip marks, and some verdigris grows like moss. An unknown force seems to support this area, preventing seawater from seeping in.

This might correspond to the Mohists's mechanical city that they are searching for.

But the monsters guarding the gate were really unfriendly.

The narrow area must also witness life and death before everyone can recover and pursue the mysteries of this mechanical city.

"Since you spoke first, it seems you're the leader. We'll grab you to fill our stomachs first!"

Gongsun Hong shouted, causing the monster that was chasing Zhang Xuezhou to turn around.

He stared at Gongsun Hong for a few seconds, then grinned maliciously, hoisting Li Shaojun's corpse onto his shoulder as he strode toward Gongsun Hong.

"Pooh!"

Gongsun Hong spat out his words, the book treasure hidden in his sleeve seemingly about to activate the suppression.

For Confucian School cultivators, whose cultivation is complex, there is no fixed style of fighting. For example, they may fight with swords like the School of Diplomacy, or quickly set up traps like the School of Mohists, or quickly sneak into the shadows to ambush like the Yin-Yang School cultivators.

Many Confucian School cultivators employed a variety of methods to deal with their enemies, including using treasures, Technique Method, martial arts, and even methods of escape.

It's almost a hodgepodge; as long as their opponents don't use brute force to overcome their skills, they always have at least one method that's presentable.

Even when they were still ten zhang apart, Gongsun Hong was already muttering to himself.

"Go!"

Seeing the monster approaching with a spear and sword, its body vaguely poised for a charge, Gongsun Hong lifted his sleeve, and the bamboo slips bound to his arm loosened and flew out.

The moment it left his sleeve, the bamboo scroll transformed into eighteen longswords wreathed in a faint purple light, which then flew out.

The demon reached out and blocked, its long sword flashing repeatedly.

He was ten feet tall and belonged to the Demon Race, but not only was his spear skill up to par, his swordsmanship was also extremely good.

To an ordinary person, Gongsun Hong's longsword is of normal size, but to the demon, it is undoubtedly as thick as a chopstick, while the demon holding the longsword that fits its own body is almost as tall as Gongsun Hong.

He brandished his sword, clashing repeatedly with the Law Treasure controlled by Gongsun Hong, creating a constant clanging sound.

"You dare challenge my swordsmanship with such a mere Law Treasure... You old codger, you do have some skill after all!"

The demon unleashed a flurry of attacks, combining blocking and slashing strikes, its swordsmanship constantly evolving.

Normally, Technique Method are skilled at controlling treasures. Many treasures serve more as carriers of Technique Method, making the Technique Method they release stronger. Or, like a grandfather protecting his grandson, a pre-release spell is inscribed in the treasure, which can bring power as long as it is activated with Law Power power.

The former combines magical artifacts, while the latter relies purely on Lineage strength.

If it's the former, releasing treasures and casting spells still requires maintaining distance, while the latter can only use strength to suppress weakness. Once encountering an opponent of the same level or even a master with rich combat experience, the latter is just a sitting duck.

But the monster never expected to encounter a third type of treasure-controlling combatant.

The opponent was wielding sword-type Law Treasure that were almost never used by cultivators. Moreover, the opponent was clearly a cultivator, yet also proficient in Swordsmanship, able to deliver a series of orderly and coordinated attacks with eighteen swords.

Although Gongsun Hong was alone, after the opponent cast the spell, it was as if eighteen highly coordinated swordsmen were attacking.

Caught off guard, the demon was also pierced by Gongsun Hong's sword, causing a burst of deep red blood light to shoot out from its body.

"It's a demon that has attained sainthood!"

The demon abandoned Li Shaojun, whose neck was pierced, and began to confront Gongsun Hong. Gongsun Hong was also taken aback, not expecting that his opponent was actually a great demon who had entered the Saint realm, and whose cultivation level was even higher than his own.

"Dongfang Shuo, let's deal with him together! This monster is very troublesome!"

Gongsun Hong glanced at Zhang Xuezhou, who was gesturing in the distance, and feeling the pressure, he couldn't help but call for help directly.

"Mr. Gongsun, I have no skill in fighting!"

Zhang Xuezhou responded loudly, which made Gongsun Hong feel terrible.

Although he had cooperated with Zhang Xuezhou many times, Gongsun Hong had never seen Zhang Xuezhou use Technique Method against anyone. Even when they entered the Gaoyou Water Mansion, the young man resolved the crisis by relying on good karma he had somehow formed.

"Where is your baby?" Gongsun Hong exclaimed.

"I have a calligraphy model book that was given to me by Prefect Weng!"

"Release the treasure!"

Gongsun Hong felt reassured, but as Zhang Xuezhou approached from afar with bamboo slips in hand, he felt a force strike him.

This force not only suppressed his Law Power, but also rendered his body uncontrollable and unable to move.

"Oops!"

One second Gongsun Hong was relieved that Zhang Xuezhou could help, the next second he was filled with regret.

Zhang Xuezhou's treasure is good, but it's the kind of treasure that he can't distinguish between friend and foe.

The opponent belongs to the second type of treasure controller, who can only exert high pressure and low defense, making it difficult to coordinate combat.

This attack not only immobilized the demon, but also Gongsun Hong, directly shattering his eighteen green bamboo swords.

Without Gongsun Hong's control, the eighteen green bamboo swords flew out in all directions, and there was no way to retrieve them and regain control in a short time.

"Run!"

Purple Law Power energy emanated from his body. After barely breaking free from the suppression of the "Fix" spell cast by Prefect Wenweng, Gongsun Hong repeatedly activated his Law Power to cleanse his body.

His senses had just returned when he saw the demon opposite him shrouded in a bloody aura.

With a roar, the demon also broke free of its restraints, tearing its armor to shreds and revealing its demonic body, which transformed into a three-zhang-long dragon with the body of a fish and the tail of a snake.

This terrified Gongsun Hong. He didn't need to use Technique Method to know that all his skills were completely countered by this powerful aquatic demon.
