Chapter 25 is the first time for everyone.

Faced with Kui Ran's provocation, Shen Anzhi could no longer tolerate it, and the two eventually came to blows.

Combining magical and physical attacks, a disciple from Wugong Mountain and a disciple from Sanqing Palace fought back and forth at Tongma Ferry, leaving the old man standing by helplessly, unsure how to offer any advice.

The fight between the two young men instantly attracted a crowd of onlookers, with cheers and discussions rising and falling. There were even people placing bets, hoping to win money from the duel.

"Quickly, quick, three coins, three coins! I'll press down on Wugong Mountain. Women can never beat men."

“The disciples of Sanqing Palace are still stronger. I’m betting against this young lady.”

……

After a fight, the two were evenly matched, and the old man's tea stall was the one that suffered the most.

"Hey you two, hey you two, stop fighting! River monster, river monster, river monster!" The old man rushed over to break up the fight, then turned around and pointed at the river next to the ferry, repeatedly shouting, "River monster, river monster!"

Everyone looked over and saw the calm surface of the Enyang River begin to churn. A gust of wind blew across the river, instantly forming a tornado. The tornado began to absorb the river water, and slowly, a water dragon appeared on the river surface.

"Wow, what a huge river monster!"

"Wow, this design is really creative."

The crowd began pointing and whispering about the river monster.

This river monster has a unique characteristic: it never comes ashore and only stays in the water. That's why it blocked the only river channel in and out of Jiangxin Village. As long as everyone stays away from the riverbank, they can safely stand on the riverbank and watch the excitement.

The opportunity came. Anzhi put the spirit snake in his arms, grabbed the Jade Flower Sword, and rushed to the ferry.

At this moment, the river monster transformed into a water dragon that hovered over the river surface, its power so great that it sent up water splashes more than two meters high.

"Damn, trying to steal my business." Seeing that Anzhi had already rushed to the ferry, Kui Ran picked up her saber and rushed over as well.

The river demon hovering over the river became enraged when it saw the two demon hunters standing at the ferry.

"Hahaha, if you want to cross the river, leave your life behind." The river demon's voice was deep and resonant.

An Zhi immediately warned, "Little demon, I advise you to stop now while you still can. Don't harm living beings."

Suddenly, the serpent poked its head out and said, "Master, stop talking nonsense, kill him and take the seal."

These words reminded Anzhi, because Kui Ran had already stood to the side.

"Palm Thunder!" An Zhi concentrated his spiritual power in his palms and unleashed a palm thunder.

The palm lightning exploded on the river demon, and the water dragon it whipped up quickly disappeared into the water.

"Trying to run? Watch me!" Seeing this, Kui Ran jumped into the river. With her agility, she slashed her saber at the churning surface of the river, causing the entire river to explode as if it had been bombarded.

The river monster condensed a larger water dragon at the bottom of the water, and then broke through the surface and flew into the air.

People on the shore, seeing this, quickly moved away to watch the spectacle.

The river demon opened its blood-red maw and swallowed Kui Ran, who was floating in the air, whole.

"Hahaha, an appetizer!" The river monster burst into excited laughter.

Kui Ran was eaten. An Zhi drew the Jade Flower Sword, concentrated his spiritual power in his feet, and with a light leap, he flew into the air. Then he brandished the Jade Flower Sword in his hand to fight against him.

The Jade Flower Sword is of the cold element, and every strike carries a strong icy sword aura.

After several rounds, Anzhi still couldn't subdue the river monster. Instead, he had exhausted his spiritual energy and desperately needed to rest and catch his breath, so he went ashore.

"Wow, this river monster is pretty powerful. It ate one and chased the other away."

"Girl, girl, don't be discouraged. Come, come, have some water and keep going."

"Quickly, quickly, bring a fan. We need to rest for a moment before continuing."

Anzhi was so exhausted that she was panting heavily and sat on the stool for a long time, unable to catch her breath.

Just then, the river monster began to tumble in the air, looking as if it were in great pain...

"Ow..."

"Awooo..." "Awooo..."

The river monster let out a deafening wail.

bump……

As the water dragon formed by the river monster suddenly exploded in the air, the splashing water poured down on the Tongma Ferry like rain. Occasionally, a few fish would fall from the sky, and one of the big silver carp even hit Anzhi's shoulder.

Kui Ran flew in through the rain, radiating the aura of a hero.

The river monster transformed into a water fish once more, leaving behind the words, "You will pay the price," before disappearing into the river.

Clearly, it was the first time both demon hunters had come down the mountain and encountered such a demon. One was exhausted and in dire need of rest, while the other was still reeling from the shock. They stared at each other on the shore, wide-eyed.

The river monster made a hasty escape, and the river surface temporarily returned to calm. Amidst the pointing and whispering of the crowd, the two finally came to their senses.

The old man looked left and right at the ferry crossing, carefully righted the small boat that had capsized in the river, and then, still shaken, surveyed the river.

After confirming that the river monster had indeed left, the old man boarded the small boat.

"Wait for me." Kui Ran quickly stepped forward and jumped onto the small boat first. He wanted to take the opportunity to reach Jiangxin Village.

"Master, Master, hurry up! If we're late, we won't make it to Jiangxin Village!" Seeing the old man about to row away, the spirit snake urged Anzhi to hurry up and get on the boat.

After taking a few deep breaths, Anzhi quickly followed.

The small boat, carrying the three of them, swayed and rocked its way towards Jiangxin Village.

At this time, Jiangxin Village had been sealed off by the river monster for almost a month, with outsiders unable to enter and insiders unable to leave.

"Wow, village chief, village chief, there's a boat, there's a boat."

A child skipped and jumped, calling out to the village chief. His voice immediately attracted the attention of the villagers, who finally saw the person they had been waiting for.

"Village Chief Niu Benben, Village Chief Niu Benben!" The old man called out excitedly when he saw that there were already people at the village entrance, and that Village Chief Niu Benben had also arrived. "I brought two demon hunters with me, and they drove away the river demon."

Niu Benben was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. Despite being soaked to the bone, he insisted on personally walking down the riverbank to push the boat to the shore.

"Thank you, thank you so much. Without you, we, our Jiangxin Village would be finished." Village Chief Niu Benben held Kui Ran and An Zhi's hands tightly, his eyes filled with tears of emotion.

Anzhi rolled her eyes at Kui Ran and said, "This is what we demon hunters should do."

"Fellow villagers, come quickly and invite our benefactor into the house." Village Chief Niu Benben hurriedly arranged for people to greet the guest.

And so, surrounded by everyone, the two arrived at the village chief's house. The spirit snake was also moved by the novelty before it, jumping around on Anzhi's shoulder and occasionally provoking Kuiran.

Everyone was also drawn to the adorable snake next to the demon hunter, and they all came forward to look at and touch it.

Just then, Kui Ran flung open a door and saw three naked men huddled together in a room. Kui Ran immediately tensed up; could it be that they had been double-crossed?
Upon seeing this, Village Chief Niu Benben quickly closed the door, fearing that the miserable state of the three people inside would frighten the two newcomers. He hurriedly said, "Hehe, these three spirit masters came into the village to catch demons, but they failed to catch the demons and ended up like this? They're ruined."

"Ah!" An Zhi heard the sound and got up to investigate, but was stopped by Village Chief Niu Benben.

According to the village chief Niu Benben, when the river monster first appeared, some spirit masters came to the village to exorcise it. However, after eating and drinking well in the village, these spirit masters went mad without even entering the river, and now they are in this state.

"So what do they do now?" Anzhi asked.

After pondering for a moment, Village Chief Niu Benben said, "What can we do? People have gone mad. Let them stay in the village as laborers. Anyway, there aren't many cows in the village."

As they were talking, another naked, silly-looking man appeared at the door. Judging from the marks on his wrists, he was a three-qian spirit master. He was carrying heavy goods, his back bent under the weight. He passed by the village chief's door and grinned foolishly at Kui Ran and An Zhi.

This made Anzhi and Kuiran, who were already at odds, feel a pang of unease and exchange glances.

Just then, the snake, unable to bear the villagers' fussing any longer, crawled into a blue and white porcelain bottle.

"Hehehe, come out here." Village Chief Niu Benben stepped forward and pulled the spirit snake out of the blue and white porcelain. Then, he wiped the porcelain bottle like a treasure and said, "I bought this from Jingdezhen for one tael of silver. Don't break it."

"Snake Baby, come here, Mommy." This was Anzhi's first time going down the mountain for training, and also her first time seeing the simple and honest folk customs.

"Little spicy strip, let me tell you, don't cause trouble, or I'll turn you into a dried spicy strip." Village Chief Niu Benben, holding his beloved blue and white porcelain, wiped it again and again and continued to arrange, "You two will stay in the village tonight, and you will receive the five taels of silver reward in full."

The snake, somewhat frightened, burrowed into Anzhi's arms...
