Chapter 1684: Little Monster
Ling Zhenfei hurriedly swung his fist, trying to knock the water arrow away, but underestimated its power.
After his punch landed, Ling Zhenfei felt its strength was immense, surprisingly unable to intercept the water arrow, as the water droplet rushed towards him.
Knowing that evasion was now impossible, Ling Zhenfei swiftly used spirit energy to form several spiritual shields centered at his position.
But the water arrows were incredibly powerful.
This particular water arrow broke through layers of barriers and finally struck Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei was knocked down to the ground.
He was shocked, never imagining these beings were so formidable; last time, he realized the monsters in the river were steadily growing stronger.
Still puzzled as to why these monsters were becoming even mightier, could it be related to the river water?
Feeling quite indignant, Ling Zhenfei was surprised his now stronger abilities could still be impeded by these monsters.
Thinking this, Ling Zhenfei drew his Dragon Tooth Dagger and charged towards the creatures.
"Watch out, little monsters, see my might!"
The Dragon Tooth Dagger combined with Ling Zhenfei's Sky Piercing Finger caused the creatures underwater to feel a hint of intimidation even as he sailed through the air.
However, water arrows continued to shoot from under his boat, rapidly approaching him.
Ling Zhenfei felt anxious, swinging his Dragon Tooth Dagger towards the arrows.
As the power of these monsters increased, their fear of Ling Zhenfei's Dragon Tooth Dagger slowly waned.
Nonetheless, despite its diminishing effect, the dagger still held mystical powers significantly suppressing some aquatic creatures.
Thus, Ling Zhenfei deemed the Dragon Tooth Dagger as the best weapon against the underwater foes.
The water arrows possessed tremendous force, and Ling Zhenfei infused all his spirit energy into the Dragon Tooth Dagger, imbuing it instantly with energy.
One powerful feature of the dagger is that once filled with spirit energy, it releases a mighty burst.
Ling Zhenfei intended to harness this strong energy from the dagger.
Boom!
Immense energy erupted from the Dragon Tooth Dagger, cleaving into the water pillars.
The fierce water jets were shattered by Ling Zhenfei's strike, scattering water splashes magnificently everywhere.
Ling Zhenfei was amazed at the unexpected potency of the dagger's strike.
Seeing the water splashes, he quickly soared towards the riverbank.
Suddenly, the waters roiled beneath, and a colossal beast surged up from below.
Ling Zhenfei in mid-air could only glimpse a bloodthirsty maw lined with layers of sharp teeth aimed to swallow him whole.
The monster sprang from the water, suspended in mid-air, intent on devouring Ling Zhenfei.
He was shocked; the beast was excessively massive.
The sudden emergence from beneath the surface was quite unexpected.
Its speed was astonishingly fast, reaching beneath Ling Zhenfei in split seconds, its foul breath noticeable.
Ling Zhenfei dared not slack, his Dragon Tooth Dagger now unable to emit spirit energy.
On his right hand, the Sky Piercing Finger rapidly condensed a powerful energy, thrusting it into the monster's mouth.
The monster's strength was in its formidable, immense body, lacking anything extraordinary; avoiding being swallowed was key.
Spirit energy surged under Ling Zhenfei's feet, elevating him higher to avoid being bitten.
The Sky Piercing Finger pierced through the beast's mouth; though the body was resilient, the finger was supremely powerful.
Thud!
The airborne monster was directly penetrated by the finger, causing blood to spurt from its abdomen.
The beast crashed into the water, creating countless splashes.
Ling Zhenfei felt fortunate, but suddenly, long tendrils emerged silently from the waters, entwining him swiftly.
Stunned, Ling Zhenfei realized the tendrils were alarmingly fast and silent.
He was grabbed before he could react, pulled into the water by the tendrils.
Previously, Ling Zhenfei was pulled into the water once; remembering that harrowing experience knew numerous monsters lurked beneath.
Above water, attacks could be made from afar, but underwater, it was close combat.
Ling Zhenfei disliked this feeling, especially when the octopus's limbs were too powerful, dragging him straight into the depths.
Shocked at finding himself underwater again, moving rapidly towards the distant octopus.
Along the way were various aquatic monsters, Ling Zhenfei frightened by the imminent peril.
Realizing the octopus pulling him indicated trouble, he sought any chance for escape.
His body and arms bound made it difficult to act.
Holding the Dragon Tooth Dagger, yet unable to wield it.
The dagger's suppressive force on aquatic creatures was previously evident, though less so now.
Not that the dagger failed, but the creatures had grown stronger, a fact Ling Zhenfei clearly sensed.
Despite this, the Dragon Tooth Dagger was effective.
Though Ling Zhenfei could not swing his arms now, he contemplated another method, "Plucking Leaves and Flying Flowers."
Could this cultivation technique wield the dagger offensively?
Thinking this, Ling Zhenfei loosened his grip on the dagger, employing the cultivation technique solely on the dagger.
His Divine Sense connected with the dagger, perceiving a potent awareness, possibly a dragon's aura.
Under such conditions, Ling Zhenfei felt this aura for the first time, truly puzzling.
Yet with little choice but to connect his sense to the aura, enabling the dagger to freely move in the air.
Previously, "Plucking Leaves and Flying Flowers" controlled lightweight items like petals and leaves.
Now, with the dagger's increased weight, Ling Zhenfei still managed control.
Two reasons: his enhanced strength, now at the Peak of Dawen Realm; his prowess was formidable.
Additionally, the dagger's unique material facilitated adept control.
