In the dark and vast Heavenly Water Temple, Teng Qing Shan walked as if he was in his own backyard, turning through several alleys, getting closer and closer to that furious roar.

  "Roar!!"

  "Roar!!"

  One after another, the furious and frantic roars echoed out. The coarse and thick roar was like thunder, reverberating within the Labyrinth of the Heavenly River Palace, which was only about three zhang high with dense alleys, causing the roar to produce echoes that kept being transmitted! If one were slightly farther away, they would probably be unable to determine the location due to the numerous echoes.

  Corner

  Teng Qing Shan stood there, gazing afar at the intense battle taking place thirty zhang away in the alley. Among them was a figure clad in a green robe - Hu Chang Lao! This very Hu Chang Lao had led the Golden Scales Guards of Qing Hu Island in a surprise attack on Yanjiang City, only to be thwarted by Teng Qing Shan and Yan Mo Tian's swift arrival, causing Hu Chang Lao's plan to fall apart.

  "Good fellow, he's actually fighting with Bai Jiao Shui Xi." Teng Qing Shan's eyes lit up.

  The monster that fought with Hu Chang, was about 5 meters high and 10 meters long, its entire body was a stone-like white color, with thick and tough muscles all over its sturdy body, like a giant snake wrapped around the monster's body.

  On that buffalo-like head grew a sturdy and sharp white horn, with a pair of pupils shining emerald green light.

  Baijiao Shuixi: Extremely powerful and extremely rare, a type of demon beast that mostly lives in water but can also survive on land. At its peak, it is enough to threaten the top masters of the Innate Golden Elixir. It is famous for its boundless strength and ability to spit out white mist.

  "Damn it!"

  Old Hu seemed like a butterfly constantly dodging and fluttering, the four-foot-long sword in his hand had become an illusion. The White Horned Rhinoceros was trampling with its four hooves, lowering its hard head, charging forward recklessly! Occasionally, it would spit out a mouthful of white mist... making it impossible to defend against.

  "Huh?" Teng Qing saw clearly that Hu Changlao's sword had stabbed into the body of the White Horned Water Rhinoceros, but it only managed to penetrate about a foot deep before being unable to go any deeper. At the same time, Hu Changlao immediately withdrew his sword and retreated in an instant. The White Horned Water Rhinoceros directly turned its head and sprayed out a mouthful of white mist.

  "This white rhinoceros has muscles all over its body that are knotted together, not only is it incredibly powerful, but also makes it highly defensive." Teng Qing Shan exclaimed in amazement.

  This white rhinoceros does not have hard scales like the red-scaled beast, but only has terrible muscles.

  It's just like ordinary cattle, beef is generally tough and sinewy, and raw beef is hard to chew through.

  That makes sense!

  The body structure of the White Horned Rhinoceros is similar to that of a cow. However, the tendons of the White Horned Rhinoceros are thicker and more densely packed than those of a cow, and its muscles are also harder and thicker! Although this outer layer can be pierced, the muscles are too hard. Even for a master with a Heaven-Defying Golden Elixir, a full-force sword strike might only penetrate one foot deep before losing all strength.

  "Monster, indeed a natural talent." Teng Qing Shan secretly praised.

  "Roar~~" The White Horned Water Rhinoceros came charging over, letting out a loud bellow. Just as Hu Changlao dodged the white mist, he was a bit slow to react and was knocked down by the rhino's sweeping kick.

  Pong! The entire body of Hu Changlao, shrouded in the Pre-Heaven True Yuan aura, was sent flying, crashing into the wall.

  A white rhinoceros with a lot of blood on its body roared and charged again.

  "What immense power!" Old Hu's head ached incessantly, "This Baijiao Shuixi seems to have locked onto me and won't let me escape." Old Hu didn't want to engage in a life-or-death battle with Baijiao Shuixi, but... In the dark environment, Baijiao Shuixi, who had lived here for years, could see very clearly from a distance.

  With Bai Jiao's speed comparable to that of Xiantian Jindan, plus his Dark Vision, he could easily catch up with Hu Changlao.

  Old Hu thought of escaping but couldn't escape, can only fight a battle!

  ……

  "What a good opportunity." Teng Qing Shan's hands emerged with two flying knives, staring intently at a person and a demon beast in the distance.

  Normally, it would take a strong Houtian Golden Dan cultivator to kill Qing Hu Island's master, but now Teng Qing Shan is far from that! However, at this moment... Old Man Hu and Bai Jiao Shui Xi are engaged in an intense battle, which is the perfect opportunity.

  "Hu Zhanglao, I won't see you off." Teng Qing Shan's eyes narrowed, and with a simultaneous wave of both hands to the left and right—

  Two streaks of cold light simultaneously cut through the pitch-black space!

  ……

  "To kill this White Horned Rhinoceros... with its hard flesh. Only by piercing the vital points can it be done!" Old Hu's body was also battered and bruised, having exchanged dozens of blows, he hadn't suffered any serious injuries. But being knocked flying time and again had left his internal organs aching, "But this White Horned Rhinoceros is very particular about its vital points."

  Old Hu also knew that the fatal weakness of Baijiao Shui Xi was mainly in its eyes and neck.

  But if Hu Zhanglao wants to attack this pest, the White Horned Water Rhinoceros will definitely spray out a mouthful of white mist. Once frozen, even if not dead, it will be severely injured. It will be bitten into minced meat by the powerful jaws of the enraged White Horned Water Rhinoceros.

  So, Hu Changlao always avoided confronting Bai Jiao Shui Xi head-on, because Bai Jiao Shui Xi had another deadly trick -

  "Attack its lower body, pierce into the internal organs, and then use the innate true yuan to blow up its five viscera!" Old Man Hu was exactly thinking of this plan.

  It seems a bit shameless, but when it comes to life and death, who still cares about face.

  "Hmph!" Bai Jiao Shui Xi Ling Zhi was comparable to a human in intelligence, how could he be easily taken advantage of by Hu Chang Lao?

  "Ah!"

  Fearsome hooves, like a stone pillar, swept over with great force, the powerful hooves compressing the air into visible ripples.

  "I was hit by a total of thirty-two swords, although it wasn't intentional, but its speed is slowly slowing down." Old Hu's expression changed greatly as he suddenly moved his ear and wanted to retreat.

  Two shrill whistling sounds, accompanied by intense air tremors, are rapidly approaching!

  "Someone is launching a sneak attack!" Old Hu Chang's face turned pale with shock.

  In front of it are the hooves of a white rhinoceros, and behind it are two flying knives.

  "Who is it!" Old Hu bellowed, forcing his body to twist. The sturdy iron-like hooves swept across his chest, and the four-foot-long sword in Old Hu's hand flashed with a cold light.

  "Clang!"

  "Pffft!"

  One flying knife was deflected, and another flying knife stabbed into Old Hu's thigh!

  "Awesome!" Teng Qing Shan secretly praised in the distant darkness, "To be able to control space with the Innate Golden Elixir for a brief moment, dodging one kick and blocking one flying knife, only getting hit by one sword. Still not fatal. Such skills are too strong." Teng Qing Shan also discovered something...

  After throwing the flying knife, especially when approaching Hu Changlao, he couldn't control the flying knife's turn at all!

  That spiritual connection seems to have been severed.

  "The Xiantian Jindan can control the surrounding space with its powerful spirit, canceling out air resistance. Such a strong 'spirit' would also isolate my spiritual connection with the flying knife, which isn't surprising." Teng Qing Shan was well aware of this point, that the Xiantian Jindan's attack didn't produce any air resistance.

  It relies on a strong spirit, which is the "spirit" in Jing Qi Shen.

  ……

  "Qin Lang, why are you secretly plotting against me!!!" Old Hu's anger erupted into a loud roar.

  His leg was stabbed, and Old Hu's speed suddenly decreased.

  "Hong!" The injured Hu Chang Lao dodged slowly, and was heavily trampled by that sturdy hoof on the long sword in his hand. The long sword was bent and crashed into Hu Chang Lao's chest, and Hu Chang Lao seemed to be a sandbag, heavily crashing into the distant wall.

  The alleyway walls trembled.

  "Boom!" The White Rhinoceros charged off like lightning.

  Old Hu leapt up and narrowly dodged.

  "Qin Lang!!!" Old Hu bellowed in anger.

  ……

  "This old guy, he actually guessed it was me." Teng Qing Shan, who was peeking from a distance at the corner, "It's not my fault, I used the flying knife technique when I joined that group of innate experts! Later on, this old guy found out." Earlier, the innate experts had all gone into the lake together.

  The people of Qinghu Island knew the vast majority of the newcomers, but they didn't know 'Qin Lang'. So they asked around and others from different sects also mentioned that Teng Qing Shan had a flying knife technique.

  "Hu Zhanglao, if you want to blame someone, blame the hunters who slaughtered in Dayan Mountain..." Teng Qingshan muttered to himself, and shot out two flying knives from his hand once again.

  Hiss! Hiss!

  The high-ranking officials of Qinghu Island ordered the execution of nearly two hundred hunters who were captured. For them, it was just to keep secrets! As for killing so many hunters... they didn't feel anything at all. In the eyes of these high-ranking officials, killing so many people was like stepping on a group of ants.

  But now revenge has come!

  ……

  When Old Hu sensed the spatial fluctuations again and judged that it was two flying knives, his face changed. His leg was injured, and he had faced crisis after crisis. With two more flying knives coming at him, he would undoubtedly die. Old Hu's face twisted in a fierce grimace as he let out a loud roar: "Qin Lang! My Qinghu Island will definitely avenge me!!!"

  A loud roar echoed at the same time, a sword stabbed fiercely towards the white rhinoceros's throat. Anyway, I'm going to die! Die, and take one down with me.

  "Roar~~" Baijiao Shuixi isn't stupid, at this time it roars and spits out white mist while violently retreating!

  "Hiss!" A sword pierced into the neck of the White Horned Rhinoceros.

  Hmph!

  Hmph!

  At the same time that Old Hu thrust out his sword, two flying daggers also pierced into his body, one shooting into his waist and one shooting into his back, entering his chest cavity, and his eyes turned red.

  "Hoo~~" White mist also enveloped Hu Changlao.

  Old Hu instantly turned into an ice man in white.

  "Roar~~" The white rhino's neck was bleeding as it let out a furious roar and charged back, its massive hooves trampling the frozen human into shattered fragments.

  "Roar~~" The white-horned water buffalo raised its head and let out a loud bellow, the bleeding on its neck slowing down.

  Luckily, his skin was thick and his flesh hard, so he retreated quickly. He was only seriously injured and didn't die with Old Man Hu.

  The seriously injured white rhinoceros turned around and ran into the alley.

  ……

  A giant red snake, only two meters and five centimeters long, lay in the alley, with bloodstains on both sides of the wall, as well as small holes that were quickly recovering. Not far away, a handsome man named Zhao Dan Chen was sitting cross-legged, regulating his breath.

  "Qin Lang! I am Qing Hu Island, and I will definitely avenge myself!!!" That sorrowful and indignant roar continued to reverberate within the Tian Hong Water Palace.

  The Tianhong Water Palace is tens of miles in circumference. With the ability of a Xiantian Jindan strongman, one angry roar can resound for tens of miles, very simple.

  Zhao Dan's face changed color.

  "It's Old Man Hu's voice! Did Qin Lang kill Old Man Hu?" Zhao Danchen's face changed greatly, "That Qin Lang, is he just a congenital solid dan?" Although he didn't understand how Qin Lang could kill the congenital golden dan Old Man Hu, waves of murderous intent surged up in Zhao Danchen's heart.

  "This Qin Lang, opened the entrance to the bottomless cave! Now he has also killed Hu Changlao!" Zhao Danchen's eyes were full of murderous intent, "I will definitely tear you into pieces!"

  ……

  The angry roar of Hu Changlao before his death spread throughout the Tian Hong Water Palace. The Shooting Sun God Mountain, the Ying family, the Mani Temple, the Hongtian City, the Snow Eagle Sect, the Wandering Palace and other scattered Pre-Heavenly strongmen all discussed with interest how Qin Lang killed Hu Changlao.

  Those people didn't have a shred of sympathy for this matter. After all, they had previously joined forces to kill a large group of people.

  ……

  Not only inside the Tianhong Water Palace, but also outside the Tianhong Water Palace, at the gate of the palace, the four ancient and elegant men who were quietly waiting for news of the treasure struggle also heard that sorrowful and indignant roar.

  "Qin Lang! I am Qing Hu Island, and I will definitely avenge me!!!"

  The four men's faces changed greatly.

  "It's Old Man Hu's voice." The complexion of Gu Yong's fellow sister changed greatly.

  "Hu Zhanglao should be dead! That... inside must have been a bloodbath. I don't know, how many of us from Qinghu Island will survive." One by one, they began to worry, "That Qin Lang exposed the secret entrance of the Bottomless Pit and killed Hu Zhanglao... this bastard, must be cut into a thousand pieces!"

  The people of Qinghu Island have long hated 'Qinlang' to the bone.

  His face was as gloomy as water, with a murderous glint in his eyes. In a low voice, he said, "This Qin Lang must be killed! And let him die in endless pain!"

  ******

  Liu Zong, who was originally traveling with Hu Zhanglao, encountered Bai Jiaoshui and had his arm frozen by the white mist after just one encounter. His right arm was almost useless. He became a burden there. So Hu Zhanglao let him leave first, while he himself engaged in a fierce battle with Bai Jiaoshui.

  In the dark alley.

  When the white rhinoceros turned its head and chased him, he was so scared that he ran away. However, he couldn't run fast enough, so he could only hide in an alleyway.

  "This White Horned Rhinoceros, I'm definitely no match for it." Lao Liu stared at the fork in the road.

  The white horned water buffalo glanced at him with its terrifying eyes that shone with a green light, and then left along the correct route.

  "Didn't kill me?" Old Master Liu secretly let out a breath of relief.

  The monster is intelligent, the white-horned rhinoceros can judge - this fleeing human being is very weak and poses no threat to it. It's now seriously injured and needs to recover from its injuries. But it's too lazy to bother with these humans.

  Just as Liu Zhang was letting out a sigh of relief.

  "Hiss!" "Hiss!"

  Two flying knives cut through the air and came rushing over.

  Liu Zhanglao's ears moved, and his face changed greatly as he exclaimed: "Qin Lang!" The war knife in his left hand flashed like lightning and turned into a shadow.

  "Clang!" "Clang!" One flying knife shattered into fragments, while the other merely grazed and directly pierced through Elder Liu's Pre-Heaven True Yuan light shield, stabbing straight into his abdomen. Fresh blood instantly dyed his robes red.

  "With his left hand holding the knife, it's just not habitual." Old Liu secretly hated. The flying knife was fast, his body couldn't dodge in time, but his war knife swinging speed was still enough.

  If his right hand hadn't been crippled, how could he have fallen for it so easily?

  "Rumble rumble~~~" A fierce and violent figure, like a demon god emerging from the darkness in front, with speed reaching its limit.

  This old willow clearly saw the face of his opponent and couldn't help but grit his teeth: "Qin Lang!"

  ……
