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

Chapter 79 Still as a duckweed, moving like a flying fairy, who can see me!
Kui Xing Tower.

Darkness, like an invisible net, enveloped everything.

The howling wind and the frantic screams that rose and fell only made the darkness more eerie.

From the perspective of the Yizi Hall Master, Xiao Qingchou, and others, there were figures resembling fireflies, like the only faint light in the darkness.

They were going against the current, rapidly heading towards the Kui Xing Pagoda.

Those skilled in agility climbed the tower quickly, scaling its heights and navigating its perilous terrain.

Lin Shouzhou, He Qiqiang, and others who were not skilled in light-footed kung fu broke down the door and quickly leaped up the stairs, their speed not much slower than those climbing the tower outside.

The leader of the Righteousness Hall took off his mandarin jacket, revealing his muscular body that looked like twisted steel. With a grab, he produced a caltrop hammer covered in triangular iron spikes, like the fangs of a ferocious beast.

He estimated the time, chuckled, and said...

"You continue, Xiao Qingchou and I will stop them."

After saying that, he and Xiao Qingchou jumped off the top of the tower. After descending two floors, they suddenly stopped.

The master cat of Yizitang was at the corner of the stairs, listening intently to any sounds coming from the tower.

Xiao Qingchou then stepped up a few more steps, his eyes slightly lowered.

A few breaths later, a figure resembling a gecko, hooking and pulling, rose several feet and passed by this spot.

It is separated from the head of the Yizi Hall by only one wall.

The person outside the wall was momentarily stunned; their pupils seemed to contract sharply as if stimulated by the bright light.

It's just that the daylight, which was still 'hidden', has arrived!
To be precise, he was out of the range of Hong Wuye's mental influence, his vision was undisturbed, and he recovered.

And it was in that moment of confusion that this person experienced.

The Yizi Hall Master, who already possessed first-class strength and was lying in ambush to catch his opponent off guard, suddenly clenched the muscles in his cheeks, channeling his power from the root of his body through his right arm and into his right palm. With a surge of intense energy, he suddenly blasted out the handle of the caltrop iron hammer!
The tower was completely undamaged.

But the person outside the wall was instantly blown into a cloud of blood mist.

There wasn't even time to let out a scream.

After doing all this, the Master of the Righteousness Hall acted as if nothing had happened, and silently remained at the spot.

Xiao Qingchou sighed softly.

A few breaths later, several powerful auras rushed up the stairs.

The leader of the Righteousness Hall leaped up, his previously calm blood and qi suddenly boiling, his spine trembling like a dragon unfurling its tendons, and he threw a punch.

"Ok?"

The moment the Yizi Hall Master threw his punch, he regretted it. A sharp pain shot through his brow, a warning of danger, as if needles were hanging on either side of his temples.

He immediately lowered his body, drew his fist, and retreated rapidly, forcibly suppressing the churning blood in his throat.

Seeing this, Xiao Qingchou, who was standing not far away, made a move and produced a matchlock gun.

After His Majesty pacified the country, firearms were stored away and horses were released to graze freely.

Unless it is approved by the government, anyone, even a clan, who possesses a single firearm is guilty of the heinous crime of having their entire family executed!
However, anyone who dared to join the Guolu Society was essentially risking their life.

The more contraband it is, the more we should strive to obtain it.

at this time,

The fuse, soaked in burning urine, was already lit. As the trigger was pulled, a thumb-thick bullet, trailing blinding flames and white smoke, shot toward the attacker at incredible speed.

Master Yi was very pleased with his perfect coordination with Xiao Qingchou.

What era are we living in? Still fighting bare-knuckles?

The mighty cannons are guarding the customs; let's see the might of our firearms...

The thought had barely formed when steel needles rained down like a storm of pear blossoms, striking the projectile with a crackling sound.

Zhou Qing, who had a feminine appearance, frowned slightly, hurriedly twisted her embroidery needle, and with a loud bang, finally detonated the bullet in mid-air.

The firelight was only a sound, its color unseen.

The leader of the Righteousness Hall, positioned high above, charged forward, brandishing a caltrop hammer.

The staircase was narrow, and the group exchanged several brief blows.

Xiao Qingchou frequently fired sneak shots, even knocking down martial artists with light-footed skills outside the tower.

Lin Shouzhou held his breath, forcing himself to keep up with the fighting rhythm of Zhou Qing and the Yizi Hall Master, only able to occasionally throw punches and assist.

Yet his blood was churning, and his mouth tasted of rust.

Lin Shouzhuo felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

"I'm an invincible second-rate fighter, but how come everyone here today is a first-rate fighter? How am I supposed to fight this?"

A moment later, Zhou Qing, Lin Shouzhuo, and the others failed to break through and retreated to the next stairwell.

Hiding under the floorboards.

Zhou Qing spat.
"What kind of bastard would fire a gun like that?"

The leader of the Righteousness Hall, still shaken, hid at the top of the stairs, looking at his fist that had almost been riddled with holes.

"What a weirdo, hiding needles like that!"

Zhou Qing listened to the screams coming from below the tower, his face showing slight anxiety.

He suddenly had an idea, and looking at the group of people in front of him, he said,
"How many wonderful sounds do you possess?"

Someone said in a deep voice, "Three hundred exquisite sounds."

Ren Yong said, "More than two hundred and forty."

He Qiqiang said with some confidence, "Three hundred and thirty wonderful sounds!"

...

Finally, Zhou Qing, He Qiqiang, and the others all looked at Lin Shouzhou.

Lin Shouzhou's face twitched, his lips moved as if he had something difficult to say, but under the gaze of the blazing firelight, he said helplessly,

"Less than one hundred and eighty."

waste.

The same thought arose in everyone's mind.

Zhou Qing quickly said, "The Hundred Refinements Force transmits its power through the subtle sound of bone resonance. If a stronger sound can drown out its subtle sound and disrupt the connecting threads, it will definitely buy time for the master and the others in battle."

Ren Yong frowned: "The person who used the Hundred Refinements Force must be exceptionally talented, with an extremely high level of musical skill. None of us can surpass him; it seems unlikely."

He Qiqiang suddenly said, "How about we tear down the Kui Xing Pagoda?"

Everyone looked at him as if he were an idiot.

Kui Xing Pagoda is the place where the top scholars in the imperial examinations, whose names were inscribed on the imperial list, returned home in glory to boast of their official positions.

If you dare to demolish it, His Majesty will dare to exterminate your entire family and everyone else!

Guess why even a rough and uncouth martial arts master like the leader of the Guolu Society didn't dare to break down the wall, and could only kill him from a distance?

Zhou Qing scanned the crowd, his gaze finally settling on He Qiqiang.
"I'll fight for your chance to climb a few more floors and shorten the distance to that person at the top of the tower! Then we'll unleash our power from a distance. How will we know if we succeed if we don't try!"

After saying this, the crowd let out a long roar and fought swiftly towards the tower.

……

"Why are there still stray bullets?"

Like a dragon suddenly rising from the still waters of an ancient well.

It tore through the calm water, roaring in with surging ripples.

Chen Shunan took a deep breath, his thoughts racing.

The Cloud-Walking Armor runes flashed between his legs. His muscles, bones, and blood surged like mercury, but then condensed and coalesced into a single force, revealing no sharpness whatsoever.

Chen Shunan's figure disappeared from the spot.

The world was like a furnace, with blazing flames spreading everywhere.

He walks among billions of flames, drifting erratically, suddenly transforming into light, floating white clouds, or perhaps elusive, tiny spores.

The rapidly approaching bullets seemed to him as slow as snails.

He suddenly appeared diagonally opposite the bullet, gently reaching out to touch its hot, hard metal surface, still covered in lingering black powder.

call out!
The flames have died down, and the smoke of battle has dissipated.

The bullet instantly lost all its essence related to '戌火', leaving only pure speed and hardness.

However, in the divine palace in Chen Shunan's mind, a cluster of intangible flames suddenly appeared, floating in mid-air and burning faintly.

It was still flashing with a 'popping' sound.

With a 'bang', the stray bullet flew through the air and struck a willow tree that was large enough for a person to hug precisely. Splinters flew everywhere, but no one was harmed.

The few seeds of qi and blood that had gathered in Chen Shunan's fingers scattered in all directions, like stars chasing each other.

After Chen Shunan broke through to the first-class realm, the power of the Jade Tree Treasure Robe also increased dramatically.

Chen Shunan even speculated that even if he were to face a torrent of arrows and a barrage of firearms, he could still go against the tide, seize heads from among thousands of soldiers, and kill flags and generals.

The headwind, sharp as a knife, lashed against Chen Shunan's face.

But the moment they touched his skin, they became docile and submissive, flowing out to both sides.

This was the first time Chen Shunan had almost fully displayed his lightness skill and agility after killing the bandit and then using the Cloud-Walking Armored Horse.

His speed increased faster and faster, until finally, it seemed to break through some kind of boundary.

Om!

Chen Shunan's mind was shaken, as if he had entered another world.

Suddenly, some strange lines appeared before his eyes.

Like a green silk ribbon hanging down from somewhere, it flutters in the wind, sometimes gathering into mountains, sometimes dispersing into fine sand, falling on the shoulders and bodies of everyone near the Kui Xing Pagoda.

It carries a strong sense of personal will.

That is……

The domineering presence of Master Hong Wu was like Mount Tai pressing down, enveloping this entire space!

It is because of this intention that one can cover the sky with a single glance!
With a swift movement, Chen Shunan skillfully bypassed and deflected those invisible, flowing thoughts.

The green silk ribbons hanging from their shoulders and bodies were all left behind.

Suddenly, it was dawn for Chen Shunan.

The sun was high in the sky, and insects and birds were chirping.

Under the glaring sunlight, the Kui Xing Pagoda stands tall.

The imperial carriage had long been overturned, and all kinds of statues and colorful flags were trampled into pieces.

The common people, and even those from the water pits and mills, were like blind men touching an elephant, clearly in broad daylight, yet somewhat comically crouching down, carefully caressing it.

At that moment, Chen Shunan had a sudden realization.

The battle between top-tier masters is a contest of wills.

The way to win this battle of wills is not only to counter with a more powerful and vast will, but also to crush with a more sophisticated true skill diagram.

There are also people like him.

If you run fast, your will can't catch up.

Chen Shunan didn't delay any longer and soon went up to the Kui Xing Pagoda.

The murals are mottled and faded, the wooden staircase spirals upwards, and the sand and dust float in the air.

Various reliefs and brick towers seem to be frozen in time.

With the guidance of Master Hong Wu, Chen Shunan also learned to control his outward projection of his thoughts.

Wisps of fire suddenly leaped out and landed in the minds of everyone present.

Master Hongwu's ability to slay the blind thief is so powerful that it can blot out the sky and steal people's sight.

Chen Shunan's "Slaying Thief" technique can also disrupt the flow of qi and blood and the operation of thought in others, possessing an ability that is almost equivalent to seizing a person's actions.

If you combine that with his movement technique...

Still as a duckweed, swift as a flying fairy.

Who can see me?!

On the narrow staircase, the leader of the Righteousness Hall swung his hammer down, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace.

Zhou Qing's pretty face was pale, the steel needles were exhausted, she held a red hairpin in her hand, and her black hair was disheveled and scattered.

Seeing an opportunity, Lin Shouzhou took advantage of a gap in the two's fight and suddenly slammed towards the Yizi Hall Master with overwhelming force.

He Qiqiang and several other figures were sent flying by the Yizi Hall Master, spitting out blood, and rolled to the lower space amidst the compressed white air waves.

Everyone's expressions, movements, and even the pumping of their hearts and the flow of blood seemed to freeze in that instant.

This world has been forgotten and frozen in time.

Chen Shunan is the only true immortal god in this world.

Chen Shunan reached out, grabbed He Qiqiang's shoulder, neutralized the force on him, and pressed him to the ground.

Then, he casually stole the stone bottle containing the Eight Treasures Water that the man was carrying.

“One thing at a time. You saved Chen once, and Chen repaid your kindness. This thing is the consequence of you offending Chen.”

Chen Shunan felt that he was petty and not a magnanimous person.

He lightly touched the ground with his toes, like rising clouds, and quickly went upstairs.

With a flick of his finger, a flying immortal force swept across the air and struck the wrist of the Yizi Hall Master.

There was a time when, even though Chen Shunan was much faster than Yang Lu, the "sick tiger," he didn't dare to rely solely on speed to deceive her.

At the first level, one's intuition is complete; encountering an enemy is like being engulfed in flames, and one possesses the ability to foresee the future.

But now, Chen Shunan, observing the six scenes and beheading the bandits, possesses a mental fortitude that is no less than that of a first-rate martial artist who killed two bandits.

Therefore, even the leader of the Righteousness Hall was deceived and could not perceive the danger right in front of him.

The next moment, Chen Shunan climbed several more flights of stairs.

They saw Xiao Qingchou, who was hiding under the arched doorway and window, his finger hovering over the trigger, ready to fire a shot at any moment.

Then, Chen Shunan had a money dart in his hand.

As he moved at high speed, Chen Shunan seemed to merge with the money dart in his hand, carrying unimaginable terrifying power, transforming into a humanoid killing weapon.

The sharpened tip of the dart, like a sharp dagger cutting through tofu, sank into the straight barrel of the matchlock gun.

Then it slashed its way through, cutting the matchlock hammer, tearing the priming pot lid, and finally leaving from the end of the gun handle.

Like a flash of lightning, its sound is silent.

The darts were scorching red, their blades dulled.

The matchlock gun in Xiao Qingchou's hand, seemingly intact and motionless, had actually been cut in half.

Finally, Chen Shunan struck the Kui Xing Pagoda with his palm, controlling the force with a balance of strength and gentleness, producing 360 melodious sounds that resonated through the bones.

Then he jumped down the stairs, and after a few flashes, he disappeared completely.
