The True Lord has arrived

Chapter 243 The Position of the Water God
Lord Zhou and the War God Chi You began a pleasant brawl in the Battle Space.

His fighting spirit and inner fire earned the approval of the Lord of War, so Chi You laughed loudly, threw down his battle axe, and used the same weapon to fight Zhou Yan—

It has nothing to do with strength or weakness.

This is the highest respect that the military leader has for his opponent.

Zhou Yan's fighting spirit was fully ignited, and he fought more and more frantically, his fighting style domineering and arrogant. Kai Ming used his supernatural powers to glimpse the battle between the two guys, and he felt a sense of relief at first, thinking that at least Jiang Boyue and the others' hard work was not meaningless, and it was not in vain after all.

But soon, he started to have a headache.

How do you wake someone who's blinded by rage?

The current situation is fraught with danger and is far from peaceful. If the killing continues, the villagers will be slaughtered when Shi's men arrive. He himself is not confident that he can lead everyone to safety.

He accidentally revealed his whereabouts and was hunted down by a large number of enemies.

In the end, it might end up hanging on the tree again.

Kaiming painstakingly channeled a sliver of his divine sense into the battle space between Zhou Yan and Chi You, transforming himself into the appearance of a scholar in a blue robe. He quickly positioned himself between the two, saying:
"Listen to me, please stop fighting!"

"Don't fight."

Enlightened one, Great God Kunlun!

With lightning speed, he grabbed Chi You and Zhou Yan by the arms, one in each hand.

"Hmph... It seems my skills haven't diminished too much, have they?"

Kaiming smiled.

But he forgot that these two guys didn't just have one arm.

Like ripples on the surface of water, the truly elite warriors, who are proficient in combat instincts and intuition, can perceive the enemy's location and movements through these ripples based on their own experience and intuition, and even launch a counterattack based on instinct.

Such a warrior, even amidst a vast army, can carve out a path for himself.

It is the core divine power of the War Master and the foundation of the perception of the killing intent domain.

When Kaiming realized this, the wind suddenly stopped from the left and right. The blood-red rain in the battle space was shattered by the violent energy, giving off an extremely unsettling atmosphere.

The two men whose wrists he grabbed twisted their bodies and threw punches almost simultaneously. The force of their punches tore through the rain, carrying a bloody, murderous aura that shot straight towards them.
The young Taoist and the ancient warlord, their sideburns fluttering, their faces blurred by extreme speed, only their eyes blazing with crimson light, like blood and flame.

One fist on the left and one on the right, clenched into fists, were thus firmly imprinted on Kaiming's left and right eye sockets.

"Noisy!"

"Don't fight our way out!"

boom! ! ! !

Outside, Kaiming covered his eyes and staggered backward. The young Taoist lay there, fast asleep, but his brows were furrowed, as if he were still fighting. Kaiming's body trembled slightly as he slowly lowered his hands.

His eye sockets turned bluish-purple at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Kai-ming's lips twitched.

"Shu Zi!!!"

"You brat!"

"My eyes are handsome, bright, and incomparably noble!"

"Even Fuxi couldn't beat me!"

Not knowing whether to be gratified or annoyed, he finally flicked his sleeve in frustration and said, "...Killing intent perception, fighting instinct. This kid is not learning the divine power of the War Lord, but taking the War Lord Chi You as his opponent, constantly honing his skills, and forming his own path in battle."

"No wonder Chi You admired him so much."

"At this time, if you disturb them rashly, you might get a beating in their souls."

"Don't even mention me, even Ji Xuanyuan might get beaten up if he went in."

Kaiming stretched out his hand, and the Bai Ze Book appeared in his palm. He looked at the jade talisman of Ji Xuanyuan. In the past, he had used the alias Chisongzi to travel around the human world. He had been the teacher of the Yanhuang Emperor, witnessed the changes in the human world, and had also had many interactions with the man who held the Xuanyuan Sword.

Kaiming is one of the three great gods of Kunlun Mountain.

Lu Wu was too harsh, while the Queen Mother of the West was too powerful.

He was the only one who was enlightened and capable of everything. For certain reasons, he used the name Chisongzi and entered the human world many times. He was a successor to the Yan and Huang Emperors and a successor to the Yao and Shun Emperors. He was one of the imperial tutors of the Yan and Huang Emperors and even took the youngest daughter of the Yan Emperor as his student.

Unfortunately, the child still perished and transformed into the Jingwei bird.

The "Biographies of Immortals" records that he often went to Kunlun Mountain and stayed in the stone chamber of the Queen Mother of the West. Needless to say, the eldest sister would go out to fight whenever she had nothing to do. Despite her small stature, she was incredibly brave.

Kaiming was just waiting there with nothing to do.

Now, looking at the jade talisman and then at Zhou Yan, who seemed to be fast asleep, he couldn't help but think of his past friends and the man named Ji Xuanyuan. He sighed with a complex and helpless feeling.

"Forget it, let's not talk about not being able to activate this jade talisman right now."

"Even if it is activated, Ji Xuanyuan can't help much."

If it were that guy, he'd probably say, "I don't understand what happened, but it looks really interesting, so I'll join too."

While saying these words, he swung the Xuanyuan Sword. He joined in as if he were wielding a club.

They attacked Chi You while simultaneously beating Zhou Yan.

This kind of teaching has turned into an extremely chaotic and disorderly brawl.

After the fight was over, he stood in the middle of everyone, leaning on his Xuanyuan Sword, his face bruised and swollen, laughing loudly, and said that everyone had finished fighting, and now it was time to eat, drink, fight, and uphold justice.

Despite his bold and unrestrained nature, he achieved his initial great accomplishments.

Kaiming put the matter out of his mind and put away the scroll of Bai Ze. Although he was quite pleased with Zhou Yan's changes and transformation, he knew that even the best things need to be considered in terms of time and place.

This period is clearly not suitable for them to continue communicating with their fists.

We need to think of a way to wake this kid up.

Among these thousand people, this kid is the best fighter.

Enlightened thinking about the resources available at present—

Bai Ze Book, Xuanyuan Jade Talisman, River God Emperor.

"The Bai Ze Book is used to maintain the Ji Xuanyuan Jade Talisman. I don't know what conditions are needed to activate this jade talisman. Right now, the only thing we can use is the authority of the Shu region's water system held by the River Lord Emperor."

"Let me see, there should be quite a few tributaries of the river system nearby."

"Take this kid away first, then use the power of the River God Emperor to draw a tributary of water elemental divinity into his body to calm him down and let him come out first."

Kaiming set up a barrier here and dragged Zhou Yan outside, but when he reached out, he was almost beaten by the unconscious Zhou Yan. He finally managed to grab the boy's hands and tuck them under his arm.

With his face bruised and swollen, Kai-ming rode the clouds and concealed his tracks. Soon he found a nearby tributary. What a mighty river! Its waves surged and crashed against both banks. When it encountered rocks, it burst open with layers of pearl-like foam, and water vapor rose up.

"Huh, huh-"

Kaiming, panting, lifted Zhou Yan up. It was clear that this river was a tributary of the Jialing River. The Jialing River is a major water system in Sichuan. Its source is actually the southern foothills of the Qinling Mountains. After entering Sichuan, it is called the Jialing River.

This place is called Lizhou, but in Zhou Yan's understanding, it should be called Guangyuan. It is a fortress for entering Shu, an important town during the Three Kingdoms period, the gateway to northern Sichuan, and a place that the young strategist passed through many times.

It was a prefecture of the ancient Ba-Shu Kingdom, and the place where Qin conquered Ba-Shu and built a city.

It is also the birthplace of Empress Wu Zetian.

This place possesses an extremely abundant human fortune, coupled with rich water element, making it an ideal starting point for Zhou Yan to establish his divine position as the River Lord Emperor.

Kaiming pressed down on Zhou Yan, who was still throwing punches while unconscious, and went down to the surging river. He raised his hand to form a spell, drawing up the water vapor, and then pressed the edict directly into Zhou Yan's forehead.

As he recited the mantra, he watched as the surrounding water elements gathered, condensed, and transformed into surging power that flowed into Zhou Yan's body. He also watched as the bloodthirsty battle intent on the young Taoist's avatar gradually subsided.

Kaiming's expression finally eased a little.

"finally……"

At that moment, however, something unexpected happened. Suddenly, the water on the river burst open.

Steam rose, lifting a tall, imposing figure with a blue face and fangs, his hands gripping enormous pincers, wielding a gilded phoenix-winged halberd. He wore a suit of armor embroidered with mountain and lion motifs, exuding a menacing aura.
"Who are you, Taoist priest? How dare you summon the divine power and might of my Water Palace?!"

"Hmph, the people here won't send me some new wives."

"Could it be that you begged this Taoist priest to come here so you could do something?! That's utterly arrogant!"

Kai-ming's expression was slightly cold.

In ancient times, the Shu region was far from the Central Plains, with high mountains, rapid rivers, and swirling clouds and mist. This environment easily fostered the worship and belief in supernatural powers, and there were many positions called "shamans". Although they were eradicated, some monsters still occupied the watery land and even wanted to take a wife.
The sound of music drifted from afar; it was supposed to be joyous, but it was actually a funeral dirge.

The group was heading this way when the Yaksha noticed them and exclaimed with delight:

"You Taoist priest, you don't know your own limitations, yet you still dare to cause trouble here. Get out of here at once and don't disturb my wedding. Hahaha, today is the perfect time for our wedding night. A fifteen-year-old girl is the most tender and fresh."

A spirit nearby said, "Your Majesty occupies the rivers and lakes, and performs the duties of a water god!"

"You deserve to enjoy it!"

"These two Taoist priests are just absorbing moisture here; keeping them around is just a nuisance. We might as well kill them and eat them!"

"OK!"

The yaksha was overjoyed and, amidst his wild laughter, suddenly threw down the weapon in his hand.

The gilded phoenix-winged halberd spun and stabbed towards Kaiming and Zhou Yan. A murderous intent flashed in Kaiming's eyes. Perhaps it was the decline of humanity, or perhaps it was the guidance of history, but the relationship between the shaman and the water god in the land of Shu had never been completely severed.

This monster has been allowed to seize the water veins and oppress the people.

He wanted to kill the monster, but another hand was faster than him.

The sound of something cutting through the air reached its peak, then suddenly stopped!

The menacing phoenix-winged gilded halberd was actually firmly grasped by a single hand.

The wisps of murderous aura began to dissipate as if they were tangible.

Zhou Yan opened his eyes.
