Chapter 196 155: Big Fish, Big Flood Dragon (Part 3)
The Upper Sect that pressures the land of a province is enough to stand tall alongside border officials.
This is the confidence behind Luo Zhaopeng's claim to eliminate Ninghai Zen.
Four Cultivation Grandmasters, celebrated across a county, truly extraordinary.
But only those with supreme Divine Techniques, who traverse the world unhindered, are the true heroes standing atop the Martial Dao.
Su Wan'Er shook her head gently, clenched her palms, and a touch of madness appeared on her bloodless, delicate face:
"Uncle Luo, tonight I want Bai dead! Since he is a direct disciple of Tongwen Hall, it is proof of his favor! I want that brute to taste the feeling of having a chunk of flesh ripped from his heart!"
Luo Zhaopeng's face twitched, he asked solemnly:
"Miss, did you make further arrangements without informing me?"
Su Wan'Er seemed possessed, her shoulders trembling, laughing quietly:
"I just spent three hundred taels of gold to buy a detailed and reliable piece of information. It recorded several paths Bai is most likely to take, Black Water River being one of them.
Uncle Luo, I sent people to transport ten carts of Thunderfire Saltpeter and let those skilled in water bury it on both banks, igniting and detonating.
Thanks to those Hidden Pavilion Assassins, it dragged on for so long."
Luo Zhaopeng was suddenly shocked, staring straight at the slow-moving cypress boat in the center of the river.
...
...
"This heavy stone in my heart never settles down."
Bai Qi's fingers unconsciously tapped on the chair, the Hidden Pavilion assassins have been mostly eradicated; logically, the crisis should have been resolved.
Even if there were some resentful ghosts from the four families, seeing such an array, they should just watch from a distance.
"But killing people isn't limited to one method; poisoning, sabotaging the boat..."
Bai Qi suddenly stood up, took off his outer robe.
Lei Xiong steering the boat felt puzzled, asking:
"Bai Qilang, what are you doing?"
Bai Qi then kicked off his shoes and socks, standing barefoot on the deck:
"To me, it's safer under the water than on it; I'll just swim back to Black River County!"
Feng Shao Ling felt bewildered, the dozen or so miles would be traversed in the blink of an eye.
"Swim back? What if there are experts hidden underwater?"
He couldn't help but retort.
"Entering the water and going under the river, even at Third Training Great Success, I can still kill."
Bai Qi said calmly.
Since that vague sense of vigilance had never subsided, he simply chose the most secure option.
If one said Black Water River hides a Four Cultivation Grandmaster waiting for him to fall into the net, so be it.
"Bai Qilang truly has a steady mind."
Lei Xiong grinned, the successive two or three waves of Hidden Pavilion Assassins were repelled, with less than twenty miles to Black River County, what more could happen?
He was thinking this when a booming explosion suddenly erupted in his ears, like sharp sticks piercing through his eardrums, followed by a chaotic buzzing.
The sky seemed to spin, rolling dust clouded like thick fog, resembling a flood sweeping through.
The rocks on both banks crumbled and flew, along with torrential rain pouring down!
"Damn you..."
Lei Xiong blurted out a curse in shock, hastily crouched down, used his strength to protect his vital spots, adhering to the principle of doing business for money, he didn't forget to pull the dumbfounded Feng Shao Ling.
Bai Qi reacted the fastest, attempting to leap into the rushing river, but before he could enter the water, he saw lantern-sized golden pupils light up, followed by a large head emerging.
"Wow! Fishing and caught a Big Flood Dragon?!"
This Flood Dragon with a slender neck, floating white cloud patterns, ocher chest, prominent head horns, and limbs grabbed Bai Qi like a puppy, flung him onto its back.
Then it opened its mouth and roared, spitting out a water blue light!
On both sides of the swaying cypress boat, towering waves several feet high rose instantly, like two solid copper walls, blocking all the falling boulders from the sky.
"Bai Qilang! He truly is under the protection of the Dragon King!"
Lei Xiong was dumbfounded, almost incredulous, a Big Flood Dragon rising from the water, saving them?
How incredible!
"Dragon..."
Feng Shao Ling looked up, his throat rolling.
What background does Bai have?
Could it be, as the storybooks said, that he's some Immortal reincarnating in the mortal world?
How could there be a Big Flood Dragon protecting him!
...
...
"Where did the Big Flood Dragon in Black Water River come from?"
Luo Zhaopeng squinted, how many tricks is Bai hiding, yet to display?
He had already subdued a Big Flood Dragon?
No wonder he rose from a lowly fisherman to becoming a boss of the fish market.
"Uncle Luo, what's the situation now?"
Sitting in a wheelchair, Su Wan'Er asked urgently.
"Miss's Thunderfire Saltpeter exploded the rocks on the banks, that move was indeed fierce, but Bai Qi was not fated to die, a Big Flood Dragon emerged halfway to protect that boat."
Luo Zhaopeng's tone was calm, but he felt relieved inside.
He always believed that killing Ninghai Zen's disciple wouldn't solve the problem, only provoke this beast.
Wait until his own master becomes an Elder of the Meridian Sword Sect, gaining certain authority.
At that time, spending some resources to request several Grandmasters to jointly set an inescapable trap.
Exterminating Ninghai Zen wouldn't be that difficult.
The Dragon Court governing for four hundred years, hadn't there been cases of Four Cultivation Circulation Qi Collection being besieged and killed?
Besides, although Luo Zhaopeng hasn't directly clashed with this person before, from the information provided by the Hidden Pavilion, a Four Cultivation adept only skilled in poisoning, ambushes, and sneak attacks.
Shows that he lacks substantial abilities; otherwise, why not crush and sweep honorably?
Probably they just need to deploy four Elders Grandmasters of the same caliber to eliminate him!
"Big Flood Dragon? The heavens truly turn a blind eye! Letting the vile go free, and even the vile's disciple, to live peacefully!"
Su Wan'Er was stunned hearing this, then seeming to go mad, she fiercely hit the armrest of her wheelchair, tears streaming down her bloodless delicate face.
