Chapter 46: The White-Clothed Figure Crosses the River

  Bai Qi had changed into a white Taoist robe, and was holding the Lianquan divine spear in his hand. His realm was insufficient, but he also felt the danger in the water, with several huge creatures lurking beneath the waves, watching this small wooden boat.

  His face turned pale, and the White Water True Person also spoke somewhat nervously: "Younger brother, there are no demons or monsters on the upper and lower reaches of the Chu River. There is only one heavenly deity in charge, named the King of the Chu River."

  Bai Shui's true strength has been completely lost. On this Chu River, even if he had a verbal confrontation with the King of Chu River, his boat would be destroyed and his people would perish.

  He was unwilling to die, and if he had the opportunity to continue his cultivation and restart his practice, he was confident that he could once again reach the realm of Xian. Bai Qi didn't know what was important, and he also didn't dare to scold him, so he carefully reminded him instead.

  Bai Qi smiled and didn't say anything.

  Chu Jiang Wang has already been killed by Kunlun Pai.

  "Brother, this Chu Jiang Wang has temples on both banks of the river, with nearly a hundred shrines in total, called the Chu Wang Temple. Let's go pay our respects after we cross the river."

  Bai nodded and said, "Alright, since you're new here, let's just consider it a friendly gesture."

  Between the two men's conversation, the huge object floating in the river turned its head and left, no longer following the small boat. Bai Qi put away his long spear, and suddenly a silver-white fish jumped out of the water, this fish was only about a foot long, with sharp silver teeth and meat scraps and blood threads, biting towards Bai Qi.

  The silver fish was extremely fast, and Bai Qi hastily shot out a sword pellet, cutting it onto the silver fish's head, directly slicing that silver fish in half. His body's innate yuanqi transformed into true gang, this one sword, used up the martial artist's method.

  Blood splattered everywhere, at the bow of the boat, dozens of silver fish flew out of the water and pounced on Bai Qi. Bai Qi turned his hand over and released two talisman soldiers that he had prepared earlier, one to help the helmsman row the boat, and the other to block in front of Bai Shui Zhenren, so as not to be mistakenly injured by the fish demon.

  Bai Qi once again shot out three sword pellets, and the Leizhen divine spear in his hand popped out again. In front of him, he danced a spear flower, and the fish demon facing him was knocked flying. Those dozens of fish demons couldn't even transform, and were beheaded by Bai Qi in an instant. Their corpses fell into the water, and more silver fish demons emerged, some going to snatch the corpses of their companions.

  "Brother, don't hold back!"

  At this time, he was not afraid of offending Chu Jiang Wang. The fish demon attacked, and a moment's carelessness would lead to everyone's demise. Bai Qi divided one symbol soldier to protect him, and he also knew that this symbol soldier was only a low-level treasure symbol, with ordinary combat effectiveness, and it was definitely impossible to deal with such a large number of fish demons.

  Bai furrowed his brow. Chu Jiang Wang was already dead, and the monsters in the river were uncontrolled. Killing a few more wouldn't make a difference, but looking at the speed of this small boat, it would probably take another half an hour to cross the Chu River. Such a long time, I don't know if Bai Shui Zhen Ren could hold on.

  These days, Bai Qi asked for some sword techniques. The Moon Wheel Sword Maru can control four of them. At this time, killing the fish demon is not as difficult as before. The sword energy is horizontal and vertical, the long gun is flying, and Bai Qi protects himself very well. The helmsman took out a short knife from the gap between the ship's boards and hacked at the fish demons that flew onto the ship.

  No big deal, I'll just make a living elsewhere in the future. Even if Chu Jiang Wang is fierce, he can't behead himself.

  Bai Qi saw that the boatman and Fu Bing's bodies were already covered in wounds, so he reluctantly took out the Youling calabaza. The calabaza flew into mid-air, and the fish demons were involuntarily sucked into it, transforming into the calabaza's yuanqi.

  The gourd of the demon spirit came out, and in front of it, a huge wave rose on the surface of the river, and the water vapor instantly became dozens of times thicker. The skin already felt like it was covered with a layer of water droplets, which was suffocating.

  The waves grew higher and higher, and in an instant they had broken through ten zhang, crashing against the bow of the ship.

  Bai Qi took out two talismans and threw them away, the lightning flashed, dispersing the huge waves. A giant alligator stood up, revealing a bowl-sized wound on its abdomen.

  Bai Qi's heart ached, and he realized that the Lei Fu was indeed a rare treasure. Ordinary talismans could be written directly by cultivators of Qi, but the Lei Fu required the power of thunder from heaven to be manufactured, making it extremely difficult and dangerous to produce. Few people were willing to make Lei Fu for sale.

  Bai Shui Zhen Ren, a cultivator in the Houtian stage for several hundred years, only had a few dozen lightning talismans, which were extremely precious. If he had directly thrown out two of them while in the earth cave, the outcome would not have been like this today.

  The alligator let out a bird-like cry, its eyes gleaming with ferocity as it charged towards the small boat. The boat was only about three meters long, but the alligator's body was around four or five meters in length.

  Bai Qi wasn't afraid of falling into the water, but Bai Shui Zhenren was about to die. He slightly spread his legs and urged the demon gourd to absorb that alligator. Before Bai Shui Zhenren died, Bai Qi had talked with him for many days and found that Bai Shui Zhenren's knowledge was vast, perhaps not profound, but he was the best teacher for him.

  He is just in the initial stage of Qi Refining, but that White Water True Person is a mid-stage Qi Refiner in the Nascent Soul stage.

  The gourd itself was strong enough, but the alligator demon relied on the geographical advantage of Chu River, its body was stuck to the river water, and it was not sucked away by the gourd. However, this alligator demon slowed down, approaching the bow of the boat, Bai Qi jumped up and pounced on it.

  The alligator demon didn't expect that a cultivator in the Huanqi stage like Bai Qi would dare to jump off the boat, and with a slight mistake in rhythm, Bai Qi's Li Quan divine spear had already pierced into the alligator demon's wound.

  The tail of the gun suddenly shot out a foul-smelling blood, and the essence of the crocodile demon was instantly extracted by more than half, sinking into the river. Bai Qi once again urged the spirit gourd to suck the crocodile demon in.

  The gourd spirit emitted a yellow and green alternating glow, and for a moment, the monsters in the river did not dare to approach.

  "Hurry up." Bai Qi flipped over and jumped back through the hole, urging the boatman on. The boatman dropped his short knife, grabbed the oars, and started rowing with all his might.

  Bai Qi thought of the painting scroll his mother had given him, and the sword aura hidden within it. If he could use it, the monsters in this river would be no match for him.

  Four Moon Wheel Sword Orbs danced in front of him, but Bai Qi's mind was thinking, when can I also cultivate that extraordinary swordsmanship?

  His white Taoist robe was already stained with blood, and the cold river wind blew, freezing into a blood clot in an instant. The Taoist robe fluttered, mixed with blood color, around his pale body, killing intent gathered, and the boatman's hands stiffened with tension.

  Bai Qi unknowingly recalled the mighty aura of the Lian Xian Sword, and on the Moon Wheel Sword Maru, there was also a shadow of one ten-thousandth of the Lian Xian Sword. Just this one ten-thousandth similarity was enough to scare off the monster at the bow of the ship, not daring to continue its attack.

  Bai Shui was originally severely injured and had not recovered, but this wisp of sword energy invaded him, causing his entire body to alternate between cold and hot, with fear filling his mind. Bai Qi himself was immersed in the sword intent, but he didn't feel anything. The meridians in his body were tough and resilient, having been transformed by the Inverse Scale Spear, so this wisp of sword energy couldn't harm him.

  Bai Shui didn't dare to call out either. This Bai Qi seemed to have grasped some sort of sword technique, it was so terrifying. If he were to interrupt his training, he feared that he would be the one to die.

  Na Ao Gong's hands gradually stiffened, leaving only Fu Bing to use the spare short oar to row. Fu Bing's strength was incredibly great, and the boat speed did not decrease, as if it were an arrow, flying towards the south bank of the Chu River.

  Four Moon Wheel Swords flew in a regular pattern in the air, and Bai Shui's fear grew as he watched. The swordsmanship of this white-clothed man was so terrifying that he himself had thought of turning the tables on him! He leaned against a symbol soldier with great difficulty, his body convulsing, and the wound on his shoulder burst open, unable to hold back a painful cry.

  Bai Qi woke up with a start, wondering how he could have thought of cultivating such a terrifying thing. That sword cultivator had cultivated the Xian Jian Sword and ended up having to sacrifice his own biological son.

  If one cultivates the Dao but extinguishes human nature, what is the point of cultivating immortality?

  No way, I'm a demon myself, what right do I have to judge human nature?

  Bai Qi struggled in his heart, wanting to give himself a reason.

  No way, the Slashing Immortal Sword is extremely dangerous. The swordsmanship is almost unbeatable in the mortal world, and yet he died from this very sword technique. Mother was able to kill him only because there was a problem with his practice of the Slashing Immortal Sword; otherwise, if they had faced each other head-on, a Golden Core cultivator would have been completely unable to resist the Slashing Immortal Sword.

  I already possess the Inverse Scale Spear and the Azure Thunder True Intent, I can obtain power similar to that of the Azure Emperor sooner or later. Why bother cultivating this sword technique that focuses on slaughter? Am I supposed to find a woman, have a son, and use him as a substitute in case I get into trouble in the future?

  Sigh...

  Bai Qi let out a long breath and dispersed all his sword energy. The four Moon Wheel Sword Pills were swallowed into his abdomen, never to be released again.

  Even so, there were no more monsters on the river, and that one sword energy made these unformed monsters afraid to death. It was an innate fear of death, and no matter who came to drive them away, they did not dare to approach Bai Qi's boat again.

  Under the surface of the water, several huge objects gathered again. Bai Qi held the Leiyin Divine Gun and waited nonchalantly.

  If all else fails, let Bai Shui Zhenren die. He himself doesn't believe it, no one points the way, and he can't walk out of a path to heaven!

  Bai Qi gazed into the distance, and the water's surface began to churn again. A gigantic fish-dragon emerged, over ten zhang in length. On its back stood a handsome young man with a robust spirit.

  The young man in silver armor looked at Bai Qi from afar, with a hint of confusion in his eyes. The white-robed Taoist, who seemed to be a member of the demon tribe but lacked their aura, had swordsmanship that was quite terrifying, but it was only at the initial stage of energy manipulation.

  He thought for a moment and then spoke up: "This Taoist priest, why did you kill my divine soldier?"

  "I don't want to be eaten." Bai Qi's reply made the young man burst out laughing.

  "On the Chu River, I think of eating whoever I want, Daozhang, are you really deceiving me that there's no one on the Chu River?"

  Bai Qi said calmly, "You're just committing atrocities on the small Chu River, once you leave the Chu River, do you still dare to call yourself a god?" Seeing that the white-clothed youth was slightly angry, Bai Qi continued, "Don't you know? The King of Chu Jiang went out for an inspection and was beheaded by Kunlun Su Mei with one sword."

  The Silver Armor Youth's face changed drastically, his waves fluctuating unstably, revealing two giant spines of a demonic creature.

  "How did you know this!"

  "With my own eyes."

  The silver-armored youth forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart. Chu Jiang Wang was killed! And it was someone from the Kunlun Sect who did it. That Su Mou, he absolutely couldn't afford to provoke, let alone himself, even if people from the Tian Ting Sect came, they wouldn't dare to look for trouble with Kunlun.

  Na Su Mu, why did you behead Chu Jiang Wang? Is it that the human way is about to collapse and the Kunlun Sect wants to come out and contend for the world?
