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

Chapter 80 Reactions from All Sides: Qi Qiang is truly a great hero!
Chen Shunan's figure disappeared into the Kui Xing Pagoda.

Whoops! !
The next instant, the world suddenly returned to its noisy state.

The thick, murky dust seeped into my nostrils.

The fierce, spreading wind lashed against the walls.

Everyone's blood boiled, and they gathered all their strength, ready to continue the fight.

But soon.

Everyone realized something was wrong.

The Kui Xing Pagoda, which had stood motionless and silently overlooked the world for hundreds of years, began to tremble slightly with a buzzing sound.

There is an invisible spiral force that ascends layer by layer.

It erupted with thunderous sounds all the way, initially faint and barely audible, but like a drizzling river flowing into the vast ocean, gradually growing into a surging, overwhelming force.

A series of thunderclaps resounded, finally reaching the number three hundred and sixty!
Wonderful sound, 360!

Everyone was shocked.

Where did this come from?

A muffled groan came from the top of the tower.

The invisible threads in the air snapped off all at once.

Something seemed to be happening outside; the sounds of fierce fighting intensified.

Then, it seemed like the sky was getting brighter?
It was as if the sun was gradually rising from the eastern mountains, revealing a hint of dawn.

The pitch-black surroundings were shrouded in a dim light, and it was already possible to see things roughly!
He Qiqiang looked down in confusion, staring at his own body, which was firmly planted on the ground.

The other companions who had been thrown back by the blast were either stuck to the wall like paintings, or remained there for a long time.
Or it would fall to the ground like a dog eating shit, smashing cracks into the blue bricks.

He was spitting out mouthfuls of blood!

He Qiqiang subconsciously touched his body and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that he was unharmed and had no abnormalities.

"That was close! Did I break through my strength in the heat of battle? I'm still unharmed... Wait, where's my stone bottle?!"

Soon, He Qiqiang realized something was wrong, and his heart skipped a beat.

"what!!"

Upstairs, the leader of the Righteousness Hall screamed as the caltrop hammer in his hand was immediately knocked away. He felt his wrist burning hot, as if it were being roasted by charcoal, and he could not exert any strength at all.

His eyes showed fear as he looked around.

"A master?!"

Without hesitation, he fought off Zhou Qing and his men, then climbed upstairs.

Then they saw Xiao Qingchou, who was equally absent-minded and filled with fear.

Xiao Qingchou only had half a matchlock gun in his hand.

The other piece fell to the ground.

The cut surface is smooth and new, cut flat, with almost no rough edges or breaks visible.

"Someone, someone ruined my life..." Xiao Qingchou looked up, his lips moving, his expression dazed.

Both of them were top-tier in strength, and they only needed a moment to think before they realized what was happening.

There must be a top-tier expert, a terrifyingly powerful master, slaying the thief, hiding in the shadows and intervening in this matter.

However, since they were able to do such amazing things without anyone noticing, taking their lives must have been just a matter of snapping their fingers.
The two of them were instantly drenched in sweat.

Fortunately, this person did not seem to have much ill will towards the Guolu Association.

It was just a minor punishment.

Seeing the two leaders of the Yizi Hall looking like this, Zhou Qing and his companions were completely baffled.

Zhou Qing sensed something was amiss and, with a sudden thought, stopped his colleagues who were about to give chase.

Lin Shouzhou seemed to have a sudden realization, feeling that this scene was somewhat familiar.

It seems like I saw it before on a rainy night.

……

The two, Yi Zitang Master and Xiao Qingchou, flew up the tower and reached the top.

Then they saw the young peddler sitting slumped on the ground with his back to the two men, his two fingers bruised, his violent blood and qi tearing at his fingertips, dripping blood.

"The wind's getting strong, let's get out of here!"

The voice of Fifth Master Hong could be heard from afar.

In the blink of an eye, the master of Yizi Hall appeared beside the young peddler and grabbed him by the shoulder blade.

With a flick of his wrist, Xiao Qingchou sent out a thin, soft iron wire that immediately attached itself to the ridge of the nearest house's roof.

"go!"

The three of them moved swiftly, faster than the wind and arrows, stepping off the line.

The head of the Yizi Hall shook the absent-minded young peddler and couldn't help but ask,
"Can you see who has come here?"

The young peddler turned around in a daze, only to see that his eyes looked as if they had been pricked by needles, his eyeballs covered with a layer of blood crust, and sticky blood dripping down, which was extremely terrifying and creepy.

He murmured, "I can't see, I really can't see..."

……

After a while.

After leaving behind the corpses of seven or eight martial arts figures, Guo Lu's own men would escape almost unscathed.

With the Fifth Master of the Red Army overseeing everything and Zhao Guangxi rigging the match, this assassination attempt seemed thrilling.

It was actually a one-sided attack on the Usui family or Zheng Shicheng.

The scene was a mess, and everyone was cleaning up the mess and assessing the casualties.

San Dezi, Liu Daoba, and other scoundrels, with wooden buckets on their heads, had somehow dismantled the wheels of some merchant's cart and were using them as shields.

At this moment, he timidly crawled out from under the palanquin that the opera troupe had built.

When these Shui San'er discovered that the Guolu Hui Pao Ge (a secret society) was targeting Wanlong Duifang (a type of traditional Chinese mill), they decisively chose to stand aside and watch.

Regardless of whether they could see or not, they instinctively took off their wet clothes, crouched down, and pretended to be panicked civilians, all looking for places to hide.

Some martial arts figures took advantage of the chaos to commit violence, which is why they fought back and some people were injured.

Where's Old Chen?

"I regret not listening to Brother Chen... I wouldn't have had to take this punch for no reason! Ouch... that hurts!"

San Dezi, Liu Daoba, and the others recalled Chen Shunan's advice and felt annoyed.

The second-rate thug who went with me to the Wanlong mill to capture Ahua slapped his forehead and said...

"Old Chen is so shrewd, a master at snatching treasures, and equally adept at running away. He has a real keen sense of smell... I understand now, from now on, wherever he goes, I'll go too, and I'll be right!"

Moments later, the casualty count was released.

In Shuiwozi, four people died, six were seriously injured, and several others were slightly injured. Many people, like Chen Shunan, had already fled when they saw the situation was not good.

At Wanlong Mill, more than ten people died, including some second-rate experts, and even one first-rate master was seriously injured and looked beyond saving.

Countless others were injured, suffering serious injuries.

As for the onlookers, casualties are manageable.

After all, it didn't completely turn into a stampede, and some kind-hearted martial arts practitioners rectified the situation and rescued the people; in addition, the Heaven-Covering Trick only lasted for less than half an incense stick's time, so most of the injuries were just scratches.

"Lord Liu, the Guolu Society is incredibly audacious, committing violence in broad daylight! You must uphold justice for our Duifang!"

Zheng Shicheng, clutching his bloodied ear with red eyes, called out urgently to Liu Sui.

Liu Sui, still shaken, put on his lost black satin boot with Liu Ruyue's help. After listening to the report from the constables about the civilian casualties, he nodded. He turned to Zheng Shicheng and said solemnly,

"This matter can be classified as a gang conflict, a feud between your 'Pounding House' and 'Water Nest' gangs and the 'Guo Lu Society'."

At this point, Liu Sui's face showed a hint of annoyance as she said,
"Don't go to the government for every problem. The government is already overwhelmed with work and struggling to maintain public order. You have to take responsibility yourself! What kind of nonsense is this!"

After saying that, Liu Sui led a group of fast-moving constables away in a hurry.

Zheng Shicheng stood there, stunned, his expression shifting between light and shadow.

In particular, a series of meaningful gazes fell upon him like the tips of swords.

He felt as if his ears were covered in paint powder, and a lump formed in his heart, making him deaf, unable to bleed, and chilled to the bone.

He raised his head and looked at Tianxuan Saintess's aloof face.
"Holy Maiden".

Tianxuan Saintess's voice was icy: "Pick up your ears."

Zheng Shicheng covered his ears, not reacting at all.

A cold glint flashed in Tianxuan Saintess's eyes as she spoke sharply.

"I said, pick your ear up!!"

Despite her intervention, the Guolu gang still managed to cut off Zheng Shicheng's ear.

Even the Holy Maiden Tianxuan felt ashamed.

Seeing Zheng Shicheng's incompetent state only fueled his anger.

Zheng Shicheng remained silent, then bent down to pick up the broken ear.

The surviving people in the mill all lowered their heads, not daring to look.

the other side.

Zhao Guangxi gave Tianxuan Saintess a deep look before looking away.

This Heavenly Maiden was somewhat different from the immortals he had imagined, those who could move mountains and fill seas, and whose flowers would bloom in an instant.

Although it is strong, it is a strength that can be seen and touched.

Fifth Master of the Red Flag Society was quite famous in the martial arts world. He had a rare series of extraordinary encounters. He became a disciple of a martial arts grandmaster and practiced martial arts in seclusion for many years. When he emerged, he defeated many veteran martial arts masters, and the martial arts world in Sichuan and Chongqing fell silent. His fame spread far and wide.

Now he is a master who has killed four thieves.

However, Tianxuan Saintess could only defeat him, but not kill him, and was even forced into a protracted battle.

A rebellious thought suddenly arose in Zhao Guangxi's mind.

What kind of immortal is this?!

"Master, just now in the Kui Xing Tower..."

Zhou Qing walked up to Zhao Guangxi and Liu Ruyue, and after receiving Zhao Guangxi's permission, he explained the matters in the tower in detail.

The unusual behavior of the Yizi Hall Master and Xiao Qingchou, along with the sudden appearance of 360 wondrous sounds, naturally made Zhou Qing's mind wander, realizing that someone else had intervened.

Moreover, he suddenly remembered the mysterious master of light-body skills that Zhao Guangxi had been investigating for a long time without any leads.

On a rainy night, they burned down the granaries and seized the grain.

A mysterious expert ascended a dragon, treading on rain, and startled away the diseased tiger Yang Lu.

Although, according to Lin Shouzhou's description, the strength and lightness skills displayed by this mysterious master that night were far inferior to those of today.

But it's impossible for such coincidences to happen one after another.

It must be the same person.

That rainy night, he simply concealed his true abilities.

It is weak when facing the weak, and strong when facing the strong.

It fits the eccentricities of some old monsters in the martial arts world.

As for whether it's possible that someone's strength has skyrocketed in just one month, breaking through from second-rate to first-rate with such terrifying speed...

Zhou Qing hadn't even considered that possibility.

It’s simply a fantasy!

A moment later, Zheng Shicheng bandaged his wound, put on a small melon-shaped hat to hide his severed ear, and hurriedly walked to Zhao Guangxi and Liu Ruyue's side.

Second-rate martial artists, though possessing abundant qi and blood and rich bone marrow, are far from capable of reattaching severed limbs.

Zheng Shicheng could only hope that he could find a miracle doctor in time to reattach his severed ear.

Zheng Shicheng said, "Gentlemen, the Guolu are being so aggressive. We can't let this go. We must retaliate! Otherwise, how can we, the two tyrants of Duifang and Shuiwozi, maintain our foothold in the capital!"

Zheng Shicheng gritted his teeth.

"Those mad dogs from the Guolu Society are after me. They won't rest until I'm dead! If you two are willing to send troops, then this time, the Lingguan Interception will be considered a defeat for our Wanlong Duifang! By the way..."

Zheng Shicheng looked at the group in the watery area and said,

"Which brother climbed the tower to apprehend the thief and broke through the Hundred Refinements Strength just now? I thank you!"

The top experts on the mortar side were just entangled by the Guolu Society and couldn't spare the time to climb the tower.

So we don't know exactly what happened inside the Kui Xing Pagoda.

They thought it was Zhou Qing and his group who had succeeded in breaking the hidden force of the pulling silk.

Zhao Guangxi and Liu Ruyue exchanged glances.

Liu Ruyue nodded silently.

After a moment of contemplation, Zhao Guangxi said resolutely,

"To pacify the internal, we must first deal with the external. Since Brother Zheng has put it this way, how can we, the Water Wozi, stand idly by? You ruined our Lingguan Interception Meeting and injured our brothers; this debt is not settled!"

As he spoke, his gaze pierced through the crowd and landed directly on He Qiqiang, who was still searching for his lost stone bottle near the Kui Xing Pagoda.

He Qiqiang was heartbroken.

Twelve drops!
A stone bottle containing a full twelve drops of water from the Five Wheels!
This is even more distressing for He Qiqiang than losing his own life!

Zhao Guangxi said quietly, "Qiqiang..."

He Qiqiang quickly came over: "Boss."

Zhao Guangxi pointed at He Qiqiang, his eyes filled with praise, and introduced him to everyone.
"Qi Qiang remained calm in the face of danger, snatched chestnuts from the fire, and broke the Guolu Society's martial arts technique with three hundred and thirty wonderful bone-cracking sounds. He deserves to be rewarded and honored. He is a great hero of our Shuiwozi!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at He Qiqiang.

Their gazes were filled with either awe or envy.

Lin Shouzhou's expression shifted slightly, as if he vaguely understood something, but he remained silent.

The remaining few Shui San'er who went to Kui Xing Pagoda exchanged glances and wisely refrained from saying anything more.

He Qiqiang was stunned for a moment.

Did my attack ruin the Hundred-Refined Strength?
I do not know how?
For some reason, He Qiqiang had a bad feeling.

"However, the most urgent task is to trouble Qiqiang to allocate Inoue's manpower to cooperate with Usui's operation and find the people from the Guolu Society as soon as possible!"
After all, you've rendered great service, and the Kuomintang probably sees you as a thorn in their side, perhaps even willing to risk revenge. Luring them out is our opportunity.”

Zhao Guangxi said quietly.

Of course, Zhao Guangxi's words were pure nonsense.

It was all a performance for Zheng Shicheng and outsiders.

However, no one knew the inside story.

He just kept congratulating He Qiqiang.

He Qiqiang stood there, mouth agape, his expression one of utter astonishment.

"Luring the snake out of its hole, me?"
