My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 450 The Power of Space, Displaying Divine Might Once Again!
Zeng Anmin's eyes were fixed on the huge whirlpool in the Han River.

Then his gaze settled on Liu Shishi in front of him:

"Senior Sister Liu, how do we break this formation?"

His voice was extremely calm, and his phoenix eyes were fixed intently on Liu Shishi:
"We only have half an hour left."

"If we can't break through within half an hour, those hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers, and even Qinghai City, could be flooded by this river!"

Liu Shishi understood the consequences from Zeng Anmin's words.

She looked a little nervous and pursed her lips as she said:

"It's simple to stop the water-generating array, but we need to find the water-suppressing mystic shard and destroy it."

"But as I just said, this Zhenshui Xuanzhu can hide itself. One moment it is here, the next it is nowhere to be found, having flowed away with the river."

"No one knows its exact location except for the person who set it up."

At this point, she looked up at Zeng Anmin and hesitated:
"The one who set up the formation is Shen Nian. Knowing the location of the Zhenshui Xuanzhu, even if we find it, we might have to do more than just destroy the Xuanzhu..."

She only said half of what she wanted to say.

But Zeng Anmin could understand what she meant.

This water-suppressing magic rod might be Shen Nian's bait.

In addition to Shen Nian, there was also a second-rank demon lord by his side.

Looking for the Zhenshui Xuanzhu...

"Leaving aside the danger, just finding the Zhenshui Xuanzhu is a huge problem."

The eldest princess, who was standing nearby, also understood what was happening. She frowned and looked at Zeng Anmin.
"The length of the Han River is immeasurable, stretching for countless miles. How can one find it amidst this vast expanse?"

Zeng Anmin narrowed his eyes slightly.

Are you looking for the Water-Suppressing Mysterious Jade...?

He does have a solution.

After a long while, he looked up at the eight demon kings and even the corpse of a great demon king in the cave, and slowly spoke:
"First came the snow formation, then this life-guiding formation, and then the water-urging formation."

"To set up so many formations in such a short time must have taken a toll on him, right?"

His gaze turned towards Liu Shishi.

Liu Shishi paused slightly, then narrowed her phoenix eyes:

"It's not just significant; even for a second-grade array master like him, his very essence might have been damaged by now."

"These formations all require enormous power to support them."

“So your worries are unnecessary,” Zeng Anmin said with absolute certainty.

Don't mention Shen Nian.

It is Master Xu who is here.

He certainly couldn't have guessed that he could accurately locate the water-suppressing mystic stone in this vast river!

"Can you find the Zhenshui Xuanzhu?"

Gu Xiangnan stood to the side, seemingly sensing something, her brows furrowed slightly, and she looked directly at Zeng Anmin.

Zeng Anmin took a slow breath and nodded, saying, "I'm somewhat confident."

"How do I find it?!"

Almost simultaneously, Liu Shishi, the Eldest Princess, and Gu Xiangnan all looked at Zeng Anmin and spoke.

"Don't worry about that."

He looked intently at the three women: "Now gather all the soldiers and climb to the top of the mountain to prevent the river from overflowing."

"Leave the rest to me."

After saying that, he walked away.

Both the eldest princess and Gu Xiangnan were taken aback.

"I'll go with you!" Liu Shishi blurted out instinctively, addressing Zeng Anbian's retreating figure.
“The Zhenshui Xuanzhu is ever-changing. If I were by your side, it might be of some help to you. Moreover, the water around the Zhenshui Xuanzhu is extremely turbulent and dangerous. My presence by your side can provide assistance!”

Zeng Anmin was slightly taken aback, then turned around and looked Liu Shishi over again.

Upon hearing her words, the eldest princess and Gu Xiangnan frowned and then looked at Liu Shishi with unfriendly expressions.

?

Liu Shishi blinked blankly as she watched the changes in the three people's expressions.

Sister Liu's words were somewhat ambiguous.

What does it mean to stay by my side?

……

After a moment of bewilderment, Liu Shishi's expression changed slightly, and a rosy complexion appeared on her face.

She looked at Zeng Anmin with shame and anger:
"What's your look?"

"I just said it offhand!"

"Hehe, no need." Zeng Anmin smiled.

Seeing the unfriendly looks in Gu Xiangnan's and the Princess's eyes, he naturally knew what the two women were thinking.

Not wanting to cause any more trouble, he shook his head and headed outside.

"stop."

The eldest princess and Gu Xiangnan spoke at the same time.

"Bring along Master Liu."

"Take Miss Liu with you."

Forehead?
Zeng Anmin was slightly taken aback.

The eldest princess narrowed her eyes and looked coldly at Gu Xiangnan beside her.

Gu Xiangnan didn't care at all. She looked at Anmin and said:
"The journey ahead is fraught with danger, and the consequences are unknown. It's always good to have more people helping you."

“Uh…” Zeng Anmin wanted to say something more.

Gu Xiangnan waved her hand to interrupt him, saying:

"Don't say anything more, nothing is more important than your safety."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zeng Anmin smiled.

…………

After leaving the cave.

Zeng Anmin then walked forward.

"How to find it?"

Liu Shishi followed Zeng Anmin, looking at him with curiosity.

"Do not talk."

We arrived at an open space.

Zeng Anmin slowly closed his eyes.

Connect with the Ancestral Dragon Diagram within the sea of ​​consciousness.

A crimson white light flashed from his sea of ​​consciousness and emanated from his body.

From the moment the light began to shimmer, Liu Shishi had already formed a vague suspicion in her mind.

She had seen this light before.

It was this light that suddenly transported them from the capital to the Qinghai Bay area.

"When we moved everyone from the capital to Qinghai City, we consumed too much spatial power, which is why we haven't been able to use any of it these past few days."

"Fortunately, the spatial power has recovered somewhat now."

Although Zeng Anmin kept his eyes closed, his consciousness reached out into the outside world from his sea of ​​consciousness.

In the air, clusters of tiny points of light magnified infinitely under his perception.

"First lock with thought, then use space."

This is Zeng Anmin's understanding of the power of space.

It means first locking onto a target with your mind, then activating spatial power to teleport.

But he had tried many times.

The target he has locked onto must be something or a place he has seen before.

People can't do it.

Otherwise, he would have teleported directly in front of his father using his spatial powers.

A dozen or so points of light, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

In front of these dozen or so points of light was a long line.

Transform yourself into a point, and then merge into that long line.

Every point along the long line is acceptable.

These dozen or so points of light and that line seem more like a representation of spatial forces.

Zeng Anmin recalled the fleeting glimpse of the Zhenshui Xuanzhu in the Han River ten days ago.

He did not know where the Zhenshui Xuanzhu was.

However, he can use his memory to sense and pinpoint its location.

……

Liu Shishi looked at Zeng Anmin with curiosity.

She naturally also saw the shimmering light spots and the long line beside Zeng Anmin.

Upon seeing the points of light and the long lines, her eyes suddenly widened:
"This... seems to be our Xuanzhen Division's Instantaneous Array..."

Her voice murmured.

Once the Instant Array is set up, with a thought, the person who set it up can instantly disappear from the spot and reappear a hundred miles away.

With her cultivation level, the instantaneous array she sets up is now capable of breaking through a thousand miles.

However, unlike Zeng Anmin's supernatural ability, their Xuanzhen Division's instantaneous array cannot choose its destination on its own.

It can only appear randomly.

"Om!!"

Zeng Anmin suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp glint in his gaze:
"found it!!"

"Still underwater!!"

"Huh?" Liu Shishi was only in a daze.

Then a pure white energy separated from Zeng Anmin and swept towards him.

It was moving so fast that she couldn't avoid it at all.

"Shhh!!"

The world is spinning.

"Gulu~"

Once her vision returned, Liu Shishi felt a strong, earthy-smelling liquid fill her nasal cavity! "Glug~"

Caught off guard, she swallowed several mouthfuls of water!

"Om!!"

As she subconsciously raised her hand and waved it, a sky-blue light flashed out and enveloped her completely.

She then regained her balance.

Zeng Anmin opened his eyes and stared straight ahead at a distance not far away.

The surrounding schools of small fish and shrimp were greatly frightened by the sudden appearance of these two unfamiliar figures and scattered in all directions.

"Where?"

Liu Shishi condensed her breath into a thread and transmitted her voice into Zeng Anmin's ears.

Zeng Anmin's gaze remained fixed ahead.

There was nothing there except the river.

"It's there."

His senses were extremely sharp, and he confidently transmitted his voice to Liu Shishi:

"Although there was nothing there, I could feel that it was there."

Liu Shishi squinted and looked towards the empty space.

Above the two of them was a point within the enormous whirlpool of the river.

However, this is not the very center of the vortex.

Liu Shishi nodded thoughtfully, then closed her eyes.

He whispered, "Source Array Technique, manifest!!"

next moment.

Two blue beams of light flashed from her hands and headed toward her and Zeng Anmin's eyes respectively.

"Om!!"

When the blue light appeared before his eyes, Zeng Anmin's pupils trembled slightly.

"That's it!!"

A sharp glint suddenly flashed in Danfeng's eyes!

On that empty ground, a gigantic, colossal creature suddenly appeared!
…………

Wanyao Mountain.

A fantastical cave.

"Shen Lang, are you feeling any better?"

A hint of concern appeared on the illusory demon lord's exquisite face.

She looked at Shen Nian, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon.

Shen Nian's face was deathly pale.

His skin had a dry, lifeless look to it.

A stream of emerald-green energy drifted slowly through his body, slowing his decline.

Upon hearing the voice of the illusory demon lord, Shen Nian opened her eyes and slowly raised her head:
"Time is up?"

The Demon Lord of Illusion wore an extremely gentle smile: "It's already the ten-day deadline."

"Red Eagle should be dead by now."

"I didn't have many demon kings under my command to begin with, and thanks to your plan, I've lost six more, including two great demon kings." Her sweet voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction.

Shen Nian completely ignored her complaints.

He just gave a cold laugh:
"After continuous deployment, my spiritual energy is almost exhausted... But fortunately, the armies of Jiang and Sheng should have already been completely submerged by the waters of the Han River."

"The demon race won a great victory in this battle."

"Next, we will negotiate terms with the rulers of the two kingdoms, Sheng and Jiang."

"After this great defeat, both Empress Gu Xiangnan and the commander-in-chief Zeng Shilin will show us fawning smiles and come to discuss things with us."

Upon hearing the word "conditions" from Shen Nian, the Demon Lord of Illusion's eyes flashed with a sharp light:
"Are you sure that national power is also effective against my demon race?"

Shen Nian squinted her eyes:

"Rest assured, if the human race can establish a human kingdom, then the demon race can naturally establish a demon kingdom!"

"I have already made a decision regarding the dragon vein."

"As long as the kingdom is established based on the dragon vein, the Demon Lord can enjoy the nation's fortune and change the name of this Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range to the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom!"

"With the destiny of a nation, I will unify the demon race, and then bring the two kingdoms of Shengjiang under my control, and then..."

His face revealed a terrifying hatred:

"Slay the demonic path, kill Xu Huai!!"

"Tsk tsk..."

"Not to mention, what could have driven me to this predicament? Did they really think this formation only had two effects: 'snowfall' and 'water-driving'?"

"Hehe... Shen Lang's schemes are unparalleled in the world!" The beautiful face of the illusory demon lord became even more gentle...

Just at this time.

Shen Nian's expression suddenly changed.

Then a mouthful of blood suddenly gushed out!
"puff!!"

The blood fell to the ground and quickly turned dark red.

"Young Master Shen?"

Seeing this, the Demon Lord of Illusion frowned slightly: "What's wrong with you?"

Shen Nian's expression was extremely unpleasant at this moment.

He suddenly looked up and gazed towards the Han River.

He said, word by word, "Who dares to break my magic array?!"

…………

The bottom of the Han River.

The short axe in Zeng Anmin's hand had already gathered immense power.

He slashed down mercilessly at the water-suppressing Xuanzhu in front of him.

"Uh-huh!!!"

Boundless martial arts aura burst forth from between the short axes.

It carried a suffocating force and shot swiftly towards the Water-Suppressing Mystic Barrel!
"Bang!!!"

Nothing stands in the way.

There was no resistance whatsoever.

The giant waves formed by the martial arts aura and the divine artifact caused devastating damage to the Zhen Shui Xuan Zhu.

"Bang!!!"

The Zhenshui Xuanzhu was ultimately just an inanimate object.

Under this extreme destruction.

Like a cracked egg, with a "snap".

Broken in response!

"boom!!!"

All the power brought by the Zhenshui Xuanzhu has disappeared.

The waters of the Han River were originally moving steadily, like soldiers on a whim.

However, with the destruction of the Zhenshui Xuanzhu.

The water was still for a moment, then it scattered and fled like a leaderless army!

"Wow!!!"

On the water's surface, waves hundreds of feet high surged!
The enormous vortex... disappeared.

Instead, the water surface is calm.

"It's done?!"

Zeng Anmin stared at the fragments formed by the huge water-suppressing talisman.

"It's done." Liu Shishi was stunned.

This was the first time she had witnessed Zeng Anmin's actual martial arts prowess!

"You...you're a martial artist??" Her voice trembled slightly.

Zeng Anmin glanced at her, about to speak.

But then, the fragments of the Water-Suppressing Mystic Stone suddenly began to flash with light!
"Boom!!!"

A dozen or so fragments, flashing with light, shot into the sky at incredible speed, heading towards the river surface...

"What's going on?" Zeng Anmin asked telepathically.

Liu Shishi looked completely bewildered: "I don't know."

"Catch them!!"

Zeng Anmin's face was gloomy. Without saying a word, he grabbed Liu Shishi, unleashed his martial arts aura, and headed towards the river.

…………

"puff!!"

On the calm river surface, Zeng Anmin and Liu Shishi leaped out, creating a splash.

The light that the water-suppressing mystic stones casually transformed into only circled the surface of the water a few times.

"Chirp!!"

The next moment, the lights scattered in all directions, heading in different directions!
In the end, each ray of light chose a mountain and went its separate ways!
Then they disappeared into the mountains and remained motionless.

The river has returned to calm.

The threat of flooding has been averted.

"What are these lights?" Zeng Anmin asked, frowning as he stared at Liu Shishi.

"This is Shen Nian's spiritual power."

Liu Shishi said thoughtfully, "I just don't know if they will really dissipate into this world without the restraint of the Zhenshui Xuanzhu."

"Ok?"

Zeng Anmin recalled the scene where the light had just merged into each of the mountains.

"Is it merely dissipation, returning to the world?"

he murmured.
