He achieved the pinnacle of martial arts starting with breaking through the limits of Tiger Fist.

Chapter 77 Dragon Elephant Prison Suppression Technique

Zhen Cangzhou suddenly appeared and headed straight for the center of the battlefield.

At this time, the two sides were engaged in a fierce naval battle, with stones flying, ballistae firing rapidly, and warships and treasure ships shuttling back and forth, leaving no time to attend to anything else.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lei Hengchuan sped up the ship, catching everyone off guard and allowing him to break straight in.

On the Zhencang boat, Lei Hengchuan burst into laughter and, in full view of everyone, poured an entire box of golden spheres into the water.

The battlefield fell silent for a moment. Taking advantage of this brief lull, Lei Hengchuan gathered his strength and spoke, "General Guo, what brings you here?"

A powerful voice rang out atop Lingjiang Army's flagship, "Naturally, we've come to reclaim our lost fortune."

"Alright, once I lure that beast here, we can work together to kill it, and then this matter will be settled."

Before Lei Hengchuan could finish speaking, a deep, muffled hiss came from the central island. The sound was low and lingering, and the water surface first rippled, then the vast expanse of blue waves suddenly exploded.

A water column several meters thick shot into the sky, and where the white waves burst open, the black dragon's body, enveloped in a cloud of water mist, broke through the wall.

A powerful dragon's roar pierced the air, and a black behemoth, half dragon and half serpent, broke through the waves and charged straight toward the battlefield.

Lei Hengchuan suddenly shouted, "Quickly, prepare the Mountain-Breaking Crossbows!"

Before the dragon arrived, a furious roar came from the island.

"How dare you?"

"Mu Tianjun, I've come to meet you."

At the same time, another voice rang out, followed by a whooshing sound, carrying a blue figure that shot rapidly toward the island.

"Lu Chenfeng, are you going to meddle in other people's business too?"

"Hmph, it's none of your business. You old codger, you're gambling with the lives of everyone for your own selfish gain. How can I let you have your way?"

Before Lu Chenfeng's voice even arrived, he was already in the air above the island.

Suddenly, he drew his precious sword, and the surrounding sky darkened abruptly—not because it got dark, but because all the light was absorbed by the sword.

A flash of light appeared, and Lu Chenfeng held up a ball of blazing light in his hand, just like a scorching sun that could burn the entire world.

It slashed down fiercely, as if the sky had suddenly been torn open, with a hundred-foot-long crack running straight down from the heavens.

A long furrow was plowed into the ground, and everything that passed through the blade spontaneously combusted, even the blade mark itself was burning.

"You're launching a sneak attack right from the start? Are you trying to fight me to the death?"

Mu Tianjun took to the air and stood facing Lu Chenfeng from a distance.

Caught off guard, he was slashed down by Lu Chenfeng. Although he was not injured, his momentum was completely taken away.

Seeing that Mu Tianjun had been forced out, Lu Chenfeng did not continue to make a move.

"You've been hiding here for half a year, and haven't you made any progress? Now your schemes have been exposed, and your reputation of over two hundred years is ruined in an instant. Still don't know how to repent?"

Lu Chenfeng fired off a barrage of questions, showing no mercy whatsoever.

"What's wrong with my pursuit of martial arts advancement? Haven't you ever considered shattering the void with your martial arts, or yearned for immortality?"

Mu Tianjun reacted strongly, but made no progress in the past six months. He tried every method he could, but could not extract the fortune from the dragon.

Now they're even being attacked at their doorstep and being criticized to their faces.

"There's nothing wrong with advancing in martial arts, but what have the people of the world done wrong? You did it, but why do you keep pressing on after failing the first time, making the same mistake again and again?"

As soon as Lu Chenfeng finished speaking, a furious roar came from afar, the roar mixed with immense pain.

In his haste, Mu Tianjun was about to rush over when a long sword blocked his way.

"With me here, you can't go anywhere today."

Lu Chenfeng looked relaxed; his task today was simply to stall this old man.

Lu Chenfeng knew he couldn't defeat him, or even kill him, but he was confident he could keep Mu Tianjun pinned down by relentless pursuit.

Seeing Mu Tianjun so anxious, Lu Chenfeng felt even more pleased.

"Give up as soon as possible. You've made no progress for so long, you should have realized long ago that things are hopeless. Why make things difficult for yourself and for everyone else?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Tianjun's momentum waned further.

This really hit the nail on the head. He had long since run out of ideas on this matter and was just stubbornly holding on.

Since Lu Chenfeng appeared, the morale of the three major families' fleets has been declining. Already at a disadvantage, they are now being pushed far away.

A dragon danced wildly in the water, while warships circled around it.

At this moment, the dragon was surrounded and should have broken through, but it was held back by Zhen Cangzhou of the Mountain and Sea Alliance.

The Xuan-level Zhencang Boat, along with another Xuan-level treasure on board, the Poyue Crossbow, worked together to actually restrict the dragon's movements.

-

A huge crossbow bolt pierced its body, and the iron chain attached to the bolt was firmly secured to the ship.

Guo Yujia, the commander of the Lingbo Army, directed his flagship to approach the Zhencang Ship, attacking while loudly asking, "Helmsman Lei, is this the source of the dragon's energy? Can we just kill it and deal with it?"

Lei Hengchuan said frankly, "The information my father got from Tianji Weng should be correct."

He mentioned the names of the Mountain and Sea Alliance Leader and the Heavenly Mystery Elder, and Guo Yujia immediately felt that they were reliable.

Guo Yujia didn't understand, but expressed his respect.

Seeing that there was still no movement on the island, the powerful families realized what was happening and began to gather their fleets and retreat.

At this moment, more ships gathered and surrounded the dragon.

The warships carried even more heavy ballistae, instantly increasing their lethality.

During this time, Guo Yujia unleashed a powerful strike, bringing the entire army to a roar and maximizing its momentum. It was truly awe-inspiring and fierce.

The dragon roared violently, its sound shaking the surrounding area.

As the battle drew to a close, everyone on the battlefield sensed a mysterious and profound aura.

A powerful aura suddenly surged up on the central island, but it was suppressed again in a flash.

The attacks on the other side of the battlefield were even more vigorous, but Jiang Lin was the only one with a furrowed brow.

"Long Jiu"

Jiang Lin was absolutely certain, because this aura was all too familiar, even though it only flashed by for a moment.

It wasn't shown at all in the "Waterway Map," but Jiang Lin knew it had arrived.

With the dragon's final roar, the mysterious aura surged suddenly and then vanished.

But a clear image flashed through Jiang Lin's mind.

The scene flashes by rapidly through the caves on the central island, showing a variety of complex and intertwined caves.

Jiang Lin desperately sent messages, but received no response.

The images continued to feed, finally settling on an empty platform above the water, with a stamp-like object placed in the center.

The top of this object is carved with a coiled dragon with outstretched claws, and cloud patterns are engraved on the sides. The base is square and heavy, and the whole object exudes a restrained and precious light. It is dignified and solemn, and has its own solemn and majestic aura.

The final image freezes on the background stone wall, covered in moss, where Jiang Lin can only recognize the first few large characters.

"Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison Merit".

The remaining smaller characters were covered by thick blue moss, making them impossible to read.

The image froze for a few seconds before completely disconnecting, leaving only a subtle connection between Jiang Lin's mind and the image.

"What's wrong?"

Chao Haisheng asked.

Jiang Lin avoided answering, saying, "We should return."
