My wife is the stand-in.

As soon as he finished speaking, a violent roar and an explosion several times louder than before erupted from the center of the fog. Weak water gushed from the ground and surged violently toward the center, causing the altar to shake violently.

"The battle is about to begin! Everyone, hold on tight!"

The green-faced swordsman curled up into a ball, but still didn't forget to loudly remind everyone.

He winked at his friend, Glasses nodded silently, and the man with the rotten face looked unwilling. The two of them kicked Amanosaki hard, making him stumble. Then Green Face hooked him with his heel, and the unsuspecting Amanosaki fell headfirst onto the execution platform.

Just as he was about to speak, six legs immediately locked his limbs and neck, preventing him from struggling.

The heroes in other parts of Fatai followed the same method, subduing those who, unable to bear the pain, sought death.

Then, scalding steam, accompanied by a strong wind, came.

Chapter 58: The Petrel!

The intense heat, enough to cook a person alive, pushed and howled.

The steam hissed under the increasing wind pressure, and all the heroes were on high alert.

The Dharma platform, though wondrous, has its limits. This wave of steam is merely the aftermath of the battle between the nuns and the Yin of Gui Water, yet it possesses the grandeur of a stampede of ten thousand horses.

Just as everyone pressed themselves against the altar, closed their eyes, and entrusted their lives to fate, Amanosaki straightened his back, spread his legs, and assumed a 100-meter sprint stance.

His eyes shone with light, his heart was filled with soaring passion, and his mind was brimming with endless poetic inspiration.

Amanosaki sprinted forward, leaping out like lightning, his mouth agape, his intense emotions transforming into a heart-stirring song without hesitation:

"On the vast sea, the wind whips up dark clouds."

Quartz proliferated along the magic circuit, eventually swallowing Amanosaki whole.

"Between the dark clouds and the sea, the petrel soars proudly like a black lightning bolt!"

Amanosaki strode forward, braving the fierce wind and high temperature, leaping over the altar and crashing into the steam!

In the heart of the fog, the nun, who had already landed, gripped her vajra pestle. Only a few red lotus petals protected her, and all around her was the undulating, ankle-deep water.

This place is where the most Weak Water gathers. The Yin Water of Gui Water transforms into a pitch-black, water-like humanoid shape, staring at her menacingly.

"Looks like I'm one step ahead." Gui Shuiyin grinned, revealing dagger-like teeth.

The nun, barely managing to maintain her supernatural abilities, was slightly out of breath, her face still showing disdain: "With your pathetic skills, you wouldn't even be able to give this old lady a bath with enough water!"

"Hmph! You're just being stubborn. Wait until I pour the Weak Water into your mouth, then let's see how stubborn you can be!" Gui Shuiyin raised his hand to summon the tide, then suddenly froze.

"what?!"

Both the human and the demon exclaimed in surprise, turning their heads in astonishment.

Someone is approaching.

“The heroes who went to reinforce the Three Gorges Reservoir couldn’t have arrived so quickly, and they’re not strong enough to foolishly barge in… Are they the enemy?!” The nun frowned, her beautiful, young face filled with worry.

"Should we retreat first, or at least take the wounded with us?" she thought, biting her pink lips.

The face of the person opposite, Gui Shuiyin, was also gloomy and uncertain.

"We agreed that the Sanjiang branch would be handed over to me. I went to such lengths to attack it just to harvest negative emotions. The buyers on the dark web are all contacted. We're just waiting for this to be over so we can hack into local networks and intimidate people... Who ruined my plans?!"

"In this cry, there is a longing for the storm... The dark clouds hear the power of anger, the flame of passion, and the confidence of victory!"

A handsome young man, his entire body shrouded in quartz fragments, emerged against the steam and heat. His upright figure was made even more robust by the crystalline quartz armor. His voice was strong and full of vigor, carrying a proud and spirited air. His bright eyes added to his dashing appearance.

He stood on the Weak Water, where nothing floated, surrounded by surging waves of air. His hands were ferocious magic quartz claws, easily cutting through the air currents and stirring up the wind and clouds.

What a magnificent sight, a divine weapon!

The nun watched as the man stood steadily on the Weak Water, his entire being exuding a sinister aura that seemed ready to devour anyone, yet his handsome face was righteous and awe-inspiring, making it difficult to discern his true intentions for the time being.

Upon hearing that Amanosaki possessed an all-consuming evil nature similar to his own Weak Water, Gui Shui Yin could no longer restrain himself.

The black tide surged around her, and Gui Shuiyin, forcing a haughty posture, shouted at Amanosaki:

"Are you blind?! This is my territory. You dare disobey the Taoist's orders?! Get out of here while I'm eating! Otherwise, I'll take you along to make snacks with my drinks!"

Amanosaki smiled brightly. Blessed by a mysterious power, his mind was clear and free of distractions. At this moment, his beliefs were firm, and his demeanor was calm and confident, radiating a brilliance that was impossible to ignore.

He clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, his magic quartz claws folded: "I am Amanosaki, a chivalrous knight from the Yushan Branch of [Heroes of the Mountain], who calls himself [Stand-in-the-Stand]. Today, I have come to the Sanjiang Hall for training under the instructions of Amber, the branch's duty officer. I have long admired the chivalrous name of [Karmic Fire Bhikkhuni]. I humbly request that you, great hero, take action and join me in slaying this fiend!"

After delivering his awkward lines, Amanosaki stomped heavily on the Weak Water and hurtled towards Gui Shui Yin like a cannonball.

Seeing this from afar on the mountaintop, Granny Yu sighed sadly, closed her eyes tightly, and her wrinkles deepened on her ugly orange-like face.

She raised her hand to stop Li Junzi, who was scratching his head and trying to get to the bottom of things, her lips trembling: "I've said it before, in the mystical world, manipulating a person's mind is much more difficult than manipulating their body or hypnotizing them. I'm currently helping my Nozaki clear his mind of distractions, and it's very tiring."

Li Junzi didn't understand any of this, and just muttered to himself, "Making someone believe they're really capable, isn't that still hypnosis?"

"What do you know!" Granny Yu was furious. "Once the hypnosis is lifted, a coward is still a coward! The path I'm showing Nozaki now is to clarify his true nature, the right path! The right path is difficult!"

"Alright, shut up!"

So Li Junzi could only sit on the mountaintop, looking down at the fog-shrouded, chaotic valley below, feeling depressed all by himself.

At the ruins of the Sanjiang Hall, Amanosaki's righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor and handsome appearance had already convinced the nun to believe him to some extent. When he introduced himself, she believed him to some extent even more. And when she saw Amanosaki take the initiative to fight without regard for his own life, she was now completely convinced to believe him to some extent.

Seeing Tianye Qi jump over, Gui Shuiyin chuckled to himself, thinking to himself, "I thought he was some kind of heretic, but he's just an unknown swordsman."

He hadn't been seen in the rosters of the main headquarters or branch headquarters, and none of the martial arts masters at the hall level who posed a threat to him looked like him. Wasn't this just sending him to his doom?

Several clumps of weak water were then manipulated to smash onto Amanosaki, exploding and splashing countless droplets.

Then Amanosaki, without changing his expression, landed directly in front of Gui Shuiyin, spread his hands out, performed a chest expansion exercise, and then brought his hands together in a star shape, delivering a simple and unadorned slap.

A pair of ferocious claws smashed the full breasts of the humanoid Ruoshui, easily pierced through her body, and with a snap, smashed her into a splash of water.

Amanosaki wiped his face, brushing off the soft water stuck to his mask, and looked around before complaining loudly:

"Could you please not spray it on my face next time? I can't even see where I'm going."

The Yin Gui Water reappeared on the other side, its eyes filled with shock and rage, its voice shrill, like a saw pulling a steel bar: "What kind of armor are you wearing? How come my Gui Water is completely useless?!"

Amanosaki shrugged and said in a serious tone, "My armor is made from Lady Ishiji's sanitary napkins, so of course your menstrual fluids are useless."

"puff!"

The nun, who was shaking her vajra to gather strength, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Of course, she knew that the substitute was lying and that he was deliberately using the topic of menstrual blood to mock the Yin element. However, hearing such righteously vulgar words from such a seemingly upright young man was as strange as the strict old abbot of a temple suddenly slapping his thigh and saying, "I have a drinking party down the mountain today, everyone can go home."

"Who is Shi Ji? How dare she call herself a lady?" Gui Shuiyin asked venomously, grinding her teeth.

Amanosaki looked at her sincerely, his voice filled with pity: "You heretics are uncultured, I don't blame you."

"Ahhh! I want you to die!"

Gui Shuiyin went hysterical, cursing Amanosaki with all the foul language she had ever used, while simultaneously turning all the Weak Waters around her. In an instant, the land around the ruins of the Sanjiang Hall reappeared, but after being eroded by the Weak Waters, it showed a decadent and dilapidated color.

Amanosaki smiled slightly and swallowed the gem in his mouth without hesitation.

That was the second gem that Yubaba gave him.

A gem the size of a pigeon egg swelled up in his throat, and Amanosaki gently pounded his chest. The gem fell into his stomach and immediately crumbled into dust.

A surge of immense magical power erupted from within him, causing Amanosaki's magic quartz armor to shine ever brighter.

"I will boil her water with karmic fire, and you go and kill her!"

The nun chased after Amanosaki's movements, calling out as the weak water beneath her feet evaporated.

Amanosaki turned around irritably: "I'll go and divide her Weak Water, you go and kill her!"

"Why aren't you going?!" the nun asked, blinking her eyes.

"Nonsense!" Amanosaki punched the Weak Water, staggering from the violent current. He swayed as he stood up, the outer layer of quartz peeling off. "Which eye of yours saw that I could kill this water? Do you think I'm some kind of sanitary napkin that can absorb menstrual blood? Wake up, girl, I can only protect myself."

"what?"

The nun was bewildered.

"Mr. Emotional Substitute, you make a grand entrance, reciting poetry and striking poses. Is your emotion here to be a punching bag?"

"You can't say that. Not just anyone can be a punching bag. If you send your own knights, do you think they can be punching bags?"

"And what about you? You can't be a punching bag either, can you?" Amanosaki retorted.

The nun was speechless for a moment, her brows furrowed, her lips pursed, unable to find an excuse to retaliate.

She had been practicing in the temple for too long. Although her actual age far exceeded the childishness her body displayed, her knowledge and mental cultivation were genuinely at the level of a minor.

Gui Shuiyin watched the two bickering amongst themselves. Just moments ago, she was at the center of a verbal battle, but now, no matter how much she cursed, it no longer attracted their attention.

Unable to bear the neglect any longer, she finally snapped.

"Don't ignore me!!!"

The Kuroshio Current roars, the final great tide is coming.

Chapter 59: A man's romance is piloting a Gundam!

Gui Shuiyin has a plan to collect negative human emotions. In order to maximize her growth, she even went so far as to lie in wait for a long time and use Weak Water to poison the knights of the Three Rivers Hall, attempting to turn their despair into bait for her own growth.

But things didn't go as planned. From the moment she appeared, she was ridiculed. Those damned knights were different from ordinary people. Even when they were in danger, they only showed a small amount of negative emotions, and more of them were angry and disdainful.

Gui Shuiyin believed that these heroes were not desperate enough because there was still a branch-level master hero here.

After she used her advantageous position to suppress the little nun, another chivalrous knight-errant arrived to cause trouble!

This chivalrous man is not afraid of me at all, and he's even started chatting with the nun!

She's a demon! A calamity!

Wherever she went in the past, there were floods, devastation, and countless deaths. There were broken homes, dead bodies, and cries of anguish everywhere.

How can he still laugh?

How dare he laugh!

"You all die!"

The Gui Water sits atop the tide, carrying all the weak waters, its face displaying hysterical madness!

Seeing this, the nun gripped her vajra tightly and said urgently, "We must stop her here! When demons go mad, they don't care about the consequences. The Sanjiang Hall is located in a valley surrounded by mountains, a strategic location. If this madwoman gets out, who knows how many people she will threaten!"

Amanosaki, clad in a magical quartz armor, secretly contacts Yubaba.
