Chapter 194 155: Big Fish, Big Flood Dragon
"Who are you really!?"
The boar-faced man's skin shook violently, as he watched the skinny snake-like figure transform. Muscles and bones expanded rapidly, skin inflated as if filled with air, instantly swelling up, and the strength of the Qi and blood surged like the Black Water River, emitting a furious, rushing noise.
Among the twelve zodiacs, the Dragon's martial skills were the highest, having already surpassed the skin threshold and begun refining the internal organs,
He had achieved great success in horizontal training, rare to find an equal in the same realm!
"As you can see, I am the Dragon."
The unusually fierce and strong man, his eyes shooting beams of light, stomped his foot, the ground within several yards erupting with sand and dirt like a waterfall.
His entire body resembled a giant elephant lifting its head, roaring to the sky, stirring a tidal wave of air.
His five fingers closed like a copper seal, suddenly flipping his hand down!
"I have achieved great success in horizontal training! You can't kill me with a single strike!"
The boar-faced man, thinking of escape, was already too late. He gritted his teeth, his bones and muscles grinding like iron and stone, sparks seeming to fly, his Qi and blood like a turbulent wave surging through his body, all pouring into his arms, which crossed to form a defensive stance.
"Block this strike! I still have a Divine Movement Talisman on me! I originally planned to use it for Ninghai Zen..."
The intense heat evaporated the pouring rain, turning it into swirls of scalding steam, enveloping the dragon-like mask with an increasingly fierce appearance.
Bang!
In the gloomy sky, lightning and thunder intertwined, rumbling echoes reverberated, and simultaneously, the gathered fist force smashed onto arms as hard as refined iron.
Both were at the third training level, both were practitioners of horizontal training, the collision of the vast, unmatched Qi and blood created a terrifying disturbance.
It was as if a massive copper bell, weighing hundreds of thousands of pounds, was suddenly struck, visible sound waves sweeping out, ripples spreading far and wide, resembling the hiss of a chorus of serpents.
Lightning struck out of the blue! The hurricane howled!
The wind broke the grass and wood within a radius of seven to eight yards, branches danced wildly!
The violent air current swept away all the rain in the sky, creating a vast vacuum zone!
"Did I block it?"
The boar-faced man's legs, thick like pillars, were deeply embedded in the muddy ground, resembling two stakes, his dark skin bouncing as if struck by a heavy hammer, his internal organs nearly dislocated, vomiting a mouthful of fresh blood.
This was a very serious internal injury that required careful nurturing.
But where could the boar-faced man attend to such matters now, knowing he was no match for the head of the twelve zodiacs, the Dragon, escaping was the best plan.
"You've blocked one punch, not bad."
Ninghai Zen beneath the Dragon mask nodded, mastering the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield to such a profound level in horizontal training showed considerable determination and perseverance.
He rubbed his palms, and the Thousand Transformations Skill activated again, his muscles and bones suddenly tightened, transforming into a tall swordsman with long and slender fingers, bones clearly outlined.
"Jing Wuming, that's a good name."
With that, he turned and left.
"This person's disguise skill is terrifying to the extreme... almost like the legendary reincarnation."
The boar-faced man was dumbfounded. Ordinary disguise techniques merely alter appearances, meaningless to practitioners of high martial realms.
For once reaching the threshold of the skin and Qi, a spiritual sense begins to develop, capable of locking onto intent.
No matter how one changes their face, the body's energy remains, impossible to fool a true master.
It's said that once marked by a Four Cultivation Grandmaster, if within a thousand miles, they can sense and track the mark.
Yet this person's disguise was not just the stretch and contraction of muscles and bones, the change of skin, but even the martial arts style and Qi and blood power had all transformed.
Just like the Ghost Immortal reincarnated as a human once more!
Even if caught by the thousand-mile soul lock of a Four Cultivation Grandmaster, escape was still easy!
"Dragon and snake, both are one! He hides so deeply, his identity must be extraordinary..."
The boar-faced man felt a sense of relief for having survived but had barely walked two steps after pulling his thick legs out of the mud when he stopped in his tracks.
From his ears, nose, and eyes seeped dark blood, his mouth slightly open, trying to speak, only to spurt ruined organ fragments.
Next, his bones cracked as if breaking chopsticks, all shattering.
His burly form collapsed, like a burst water sack, his life force entirely dissipated.
"That punch... I didn't block it?"
The boar-faced man opened his eyes wide, his Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield had been broken without him noticing in the slightest!
...
...
Shouts and clashes echoed continuously on both sides of the riverbank.
Sitting in the large chair brought by Feng Shao Ling, Bai Qi kept his eyes closed, quietly listening, exuding a heroic and carefree demeanor, as if watching over the storm.
Lei Xiong, steering the helm, couldn't help but praise:
"Truly a young hero, so many master assassins want his life… yet he remains steady as a mountain, unshaken."
Though not fond of the arrogant Bai Qilang, Feng Shao Ling had to admit, this young man was indeed boldly courageous and extraordinarily strategic.
Using himself as bait in such a risky maneuver, any miscalculation could easily lead to his demise.
"Appears calm as an old dog, in truth panicked to the extreme..."
Bai Qi pressed his hands on the armchair, concealing his inner tension.
He had once used the Arhat Hand to gather his thoughts, taming his mind, thereby sensing others' killing intent and discovering the Red Eyebrow Bandits tailing him.
That pinprick-like sting had left a lasting memory.
But now, Bai Qi felt as if pricked a hundred times, all his muscles tensed unconsciously.
That heavy weight on his chest hadn't dissipated.
"Caught a big fish indeed."
Bai Qi felt a tinge of caution within, knowing that the fierce killing intent was no ordinary assassin.
"We're about ten miles from Black River County, master, please don't get lost..."
