Water elemental became a god, ultimately becoming the master of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers

Chapter 242 Now, It’s Your Turn
"Huhuhu..."

A few broken green scales floated on the river surface, swaying with the waves.

Lu Jing knelt on the back of the finless porpoise, his right hand tightly gripping the blood-stained ring-pommel sword, his left hand pressing on his waist, tapping acupoints to stop the slight bleeding from the wound.

If you were to peel off his clothes, you would see that Lu Jing's body was covered with countless scars of all sizes, forming raised scabs like centipedes, including some vital areas.

He had suffered countless injuries from slaying demons over the past few months. Even though he recovered time and time again, the cold and damp energy entering his body had completely altered his skin and bones, forming unsightly tumors.

Those water demons came fiercely and stealthily. The strongest of them was no weaker than the master who killed the Five Thieves. Even he was accidentally struck by their claws during the attack.

Fortunately, before being swept away by the monstrous tide, Chen Shunan managed to calm the porpoise swarm.

So the finless porpoise he was riding had not yet been startled or out of control, but was only occasionally emitting low hisses.

"Brother Lu, are you alright?"

A familiar voice came from behind, filled with deep concern.

Lu Jing calmly pulled up his clothes, covering up the hideous scars on his body.

He turned around and saw Liu Qingyi riding a finless porpoise up, carrying a water bag in his hand, and said with a faint smile, "This beast has thick skin and thick flesh. You've done a great job killing it, Brother Lu! Drink some water to calm down."

Beside them was a man named Guo Quan, a martial artist from the Liangjiang Military Academy and an old friend of Lu Jing, who also rode a finless porpoise up.

Lu Jing nodded and reached out to take the water pouch. Just as his fingers touched the opening, he suddenly felt a gust of wind sweep from behind him. With a clang, a sharp sword rang out, and a cold light, as clear as water in the sky, swirled towards him. In a flash, it pierced towards Lu Jing's lower back.

Pfft!

Even though Lu Jing warned him with his mind, he reacted at the critical moment, gathered his strength, and leaped forward.

But a deep trail of blood remained behind him, slowly spreading as if it were coated with a potent poison, causing the wound to turn bluish-black in the blink of an eye.

Lu Jingxu treads on the water like a duck caressing the waves, his face showing a hint of disbelief as he stares intently at Guo Quan, who has drawn his sword, the tip still dripping with blood.

"You want to kill me? Why!"

Guo Quan looked somewhat guilty, and dared not meet Lu Jing's gaze, lowering his head.

The smile on Liu Qingyi's face had vanished, replaced by a cold and ruthless expression.

"Lu Jing, now that things are at their most urgent, are you still going to try to hide it?"

"What am I hiding?!"

Lu Jing's forehead veins throbbed, and his face turned ashen.

"I, Lu, pride myself on my upright and honest conduct throughout my life. I may have made minor mistakes, but I have never betrayed the greater good... Why?!"

Lu Jing simply couldn't understand why his old friend, Liu Qingyi, who had fought alongside him and shared a deep bond with him, would choose this moment to betray him and launch a sneak attack!
"Why?!" Lu Jing couldn't help but ask again.

Liu Qingyi reached out and took off her cloak. Her internal energy surged like a dragon coiling, rising to the top and forming a cloud of blood and smoke that soared into the sky.

He shouted,
"Yun Ruo, Shi Yanzhi, Deng Jialiang... all those people who recently disappeared, you've eaten them all, and you're still putting on an act, what are you trying to hide?!"

"Bloody mouth!"

Lu Jing laughed in exasperation, never expecting Liu Qingyi to come up with such an absurd excuse.

He eats people?
He's not a demon, why would he eat people?!
"It seems someone doesn't want me to continue living... But why did they have to choose this critical juncture?"

Lu Jing closed his eyes in disappointment.

In Wuqing County, many people do not want him to live.

Whether it's due to past grudges, or because they can't bear to see themselves get through this year's big year, there are many reasons.

Why, at this critical juncture, do they still engage in infighting and turn against their own people?!

Liu Qingyi naturally understood Lu Jing's implied meaning. Her eyes flashed with a sharp, cold light, and she leaped into the air, her energy soaring like a dragon, pressing down on Lu Jing.

"Slay demons? How could we possibly send a demon like you to slay demons?"

"I'll go by myself, one person is enough!"

"The reputation of Wuqing County cannot be tarnished by you heretics and scoundrels!"

"Within Wuqing County, all unstable elements will be suppressed by me!!!"

His voice was loud and clear, shaking the mind and spirit, and carrying an indescribable aura of justice.

Boom boom boom...

On the river surface, in an instant, there were continuous sounds of palm strikes exploding.

……

"Brother Chen, are you alright?"

Chen Shunan and Gan Fuquan fought and retreated, finally shaking off the pursuing water demons and hiding on an iceberg.

Seeing that Chen Shunan's face was a little pale, Gan Fuquan took out his own Blood Nourishing Pill and handed it over.

"Thank you very much, Brother Gan."

Chen Shunan took the giant pill, swallowed it in one gulp, and his face immediately became rosy.

Seeing this, the worry in Gan Fuquan's eyes lessened somewhat.

"Brother Chen, you stay here and hide. I'll go check the situation ahead. We need to rejoin the main force."

"Okay, okay." Chen Shunan nodded hurriedly.

A mist, carrying a chill, spread across the river.

Gan Fuquan crouched low, his feet treading on the fine ice shards, and slowly walked toward the edge of the iceberg, preparing to ride the finless porpoise back onto the mountain.

shuh...

A strange wind, carrying a hint of fishy stench, blew by.

The yellowish, turbid water surged upwards, spewing up a few red foams. Then, the once calm surface of the water suddenly burst open, and two huge black shadows leaped out.

One of them was a white ape, its entire body covered in long, snow-white fur, the hair fluffy yet distinct, with water droplets rolling down the tips of its fur.

Its eyes were clear, occasionally flashing with wisdom. A tuft of long hair on its back shone with a pale gold hue, like a dark line extending from the back of its neck to the base of its tail, giving it an eerie and noble air.

The other one was a strange fish with a head and body two zhang long, covered in black scales as if wearing a plate armor, and with a pair of ice-blue eyes, exuding a cold arrogance and a sense of oppression that did not belong to ordinary wild beasts.

"Monster, monster!!"

Upon seeing this, Gan Fuquan's eyes showed a look of panic.

"Alright, stop pretending. There are no outsiders here." The white ape glanced coldly at Gan Fuquan and actually spoke in human language, fluent Beijing dialect.

Gan Fuquan stopped acting and instead bowed obsequiously to the white ape.

"As the saying goes, there are gods watching from above. I was just worried that the news might leak out and ruin the good plans of you two immortals."

"After all, at this critical juncture, killing the righteous men of Wuqing, especially those from Shuiwozi, would cause some trouble."

The strange fish shook its head, splashing water everywhere, and said in a muffled voice.

"This place is far from the mainland, and rarely visited by people. Even the immortals wouldn't pay attention to this place. Apart from us, it's impossible for any outsiders to discover it. There are no gods even three feet above your head."

Upon hearing this, Gan Fuquan's face lit up with joy.

Does saying that way mean my treachery won't be discovered?
Chen Shunan, who had been timidly hiding behind the ice stone, was also pleasantly surprised.

Is there no god watching over us even three feet above our heads?

Tell me earlier!
Chen will not be discovered.

His thoughts quickly swept over everyone present.

Gan Fuquan?
It was overlooked.

This is……

A demon with two heads converging?

Moreover, it was a demon that had gained sentience and even refined its transverse bone!
A faint magical power flowed within her body, but judging from the fluctuations, it was only equivalent to the early stage of the [Pulse Opening] realm. However, if she had the advantage in the water, her claws and teeth would still be slightly stronger than those of the Heavenly Pivot Saintess from that day.

Stable.

When it comes to home advantage, the water is our stronghold!

Chen Shunan slowly stood up, his face still showing a hint of fear and disbelief, and looked at Gan Fuquan, saying...

"You actually colluded with a demon to kill me?"

"What demon!"

Gan Fuquan's face turned cold, and he reprimanded,
"This is the realm of immortals... But alas, how could you common folk know such secrets? The problem is, you waterlogged folks chose the wrong side; the bigwigs above don't want to see you participate in the Grandmaster's Record..."

"All right!"

The white ape impatiently interrupted Gan Fuquan, grabbed his arm and shoved him forward, saying,
"Hurry up and kill them, we still need to get to Lu Jing's place."

Gan Fuquan nodded hurriedly, channeling his palm power and circulating his qi and blood, before striding toward Chen Shunan.

The Grandmaster's Record was attended by many forces from Wuqing County, as well as young talents who had returned from Tongzhou City and were favored by the three major academies.

It's inevitable that some people will try to use underhanded tactics to clear obstacles beforehand.

After all, Shuiwozi is backed by Aoshan Taoist Academy. Although Aoshan Taoist Academy is also a behemoth, Yueshan Taoist Academy and Fengchi Taoist Academy are no less powerful than it.

Therefore, Chen Shunan was not surprised that someone wanted to ambush him.

According to Tianxuan Saintess, among the four major academies, apart from the Dragon Light Academy, which has always been mysterious and whose disciples rarely show their faces, the Phoenix Pool Academy has the most pure-blooded demons of the Form Gathering Realm.

They claim to be "nobles of Baishan," and that once they awaken their intelligence and refine their transverse bones, they can absorb the essence of the sun and moon, cultivate magical power, and thus cultivate immortality.

Unlike humans, who, without the potential for immortality, have to painstakingly practice martial arts and stance training, polishing their skin and strengthening their bones, in order to enter the Dao in the realm of true meaning.

You can't see into someone's heart.

These are two demons whose forms are intertwined, standing before me.

It was probably one of those young talents, or some others, who had been so affectionately calling him Brother Chen or Manager Chen on the canal boat a few days ago, who instigated him.

only……

Chen Shunan still had some doubts and said, "Grandmaster's Manual? But at this critical juncture, if even we people start fighting amongst ourselves... what will happen to the people of Wuqing County?"

Gan Fuquan, who was walking briskly towards him, paused for a moment.

The people of Wuqing County?

He couldn't help but let out a sinister laugh.

"They're just unlucky!"

Chen Shunan suddenly realized and shook his head.

Fortunately, that hero Gan was unyielding and could still utter the words "Does the fist divide the North and South, and the country divide the North and South?" before his death.

Unexpectedly, his descendants said something like "they're just unlucky" before they died.

He truly is a treacherous person.

not far away.

The white ape squinted, its bulging muscles gleaming, and stood with its hands hanging down on the edge of the iceberg.

The strange fish in the water just floated silently on the surface, its sharp teeth interlocking in its mouth, jagged and eerie, and mixed with bits of flesh.

It seems that, in their view, Chen Shunan's fate was not unexpected.

But then, in the next instant...

The two demons seemed to realize something, their expressions changed drastically, and their eyes showed astonishment.

because……

Chen Shunan's figure suddenly vanished from the demons' sight!
Even when scanned with one's mind, there was no trace of him; it was as if Chen Shunan had never existed at all.

Then, a piercing explosion resounded in all directions in an instant, and bursts of turbulent, tearing flying immortal energy shot out, landing heavily on Gan Fu's entire body.

Snap—Boom!
First, countless cracking sounds of bones breaking rang out, followed by a burst of blood mist that suddenly darkened the sky, as if plunging into a sea of ​​blood.

Gan Fuquan has completely disappeared from the world.

A cold wind blew across the river.

Chen Shunan's figure gradually emerged clearly from the blood mist.

He looked at the two demons with a cold expression.

"Now, it's your turn."
