CHAPTER 48: CHAPTER 48: WINDFALL FROM HEAVEN

The leader of the Tribulation Cultivators, Heifeng, used his sword to fly and arrived in front of the flying ship.

Originally, he planned to negotiate a bit and say some polite words.

Unexpectedly, Shen Xuan and the others charged directly at them.

In that case.

He didn’t need to hold back either!

"Fire!"

With a command shout.

On the three Tribulation Cultivator flying ships, attacks from various magical artifacts, techniques, and talismans transformed into a dazzling array of colorful lights, bombarding toward Shen Xuan’s flying ship like a torrential storm!

Heifeng let out a cold laugh from beneath the shadow of his mask.

He had just received a message from Chen Tuzi.

A group of Demon Hunters had captured a complete Water-Repelling Rhinoceros.

Worth tens of thousands of spirit stones.

Moreover, this group of Demon Hunters was of mediocre strength.

They were sailing back along the Longze River to the Cyan Dragon Bay Market.

A rare opportunity for robbery!

He had cooperated with Chen Tuzi for many years.

Without a second thought, he immediately gathered his team and lay in wait here.

And sure enough, they intercepted them smoothly.

An unexpected windfall from the heavens!

He had never seen such reckless Demon Hunters.

Facing three well-prepared Tribulation Cultivators’ flying ships.

Not only did they not turn to flee, but flew straight at them.

Foolish to the extreme!

However.

The scene that followed made him widen his eyes.

The waters of the Longze River roared and boiled, continuously gathering Water Spiritual Power, forming water shields around the flying ship.

This was a commonly used technique by Water Cultivators, the "Water Shield Technique."

However, others usually formed only one water shield.

Where did this hundreds of water shields come from?

Close to the tip of the flying ship, a Water Cloud Shield was suddenly deployed, expanding with the wind, covering the entire ship.

The attacks from over twenty Tribulation Cultivators were all blocked by the water shields.

The few attacks that barely managed to reach the flying ship were easily dissolved by the massive Water Cloud Shield.

"Damn baldy, how dare you deceive me!"

Heifeng was a Qi Cultivation Perfection Sword Cultivator.

He could tell at a glance that there was a high-tier Water Cultivator on the flying ship.

Moreover, their water techniques were extremely proficient, possibly reaching great success!

The attacks from the Tribulation Cultivators were utterly incapable of stopping the flying ship.

Now it seems...

He’s in a difficult position!

Heifeng’s face turned grim.

If he allowed Shen Xuan and the others to escape easily, the morale would disperse and the team would be hard to manage.

At such a time, he had to act himself!

"Swift!"

A golden sword light suddenly burst forth, piercing through seven or eight water shields in succession, landing heavily on the Water Cloud Shield.

This was Heifeng’s full-force sword technique!

The golden sword light flashed and vanished.

A dark gold flying sword was forcibly lodged into the Water Cloud Shield, continuously slowing the flying ship’s speed.

Shen Xuan frowned slightly.

The Water Spiritual Qi on the Water Cloud Shield was gradually dissipating.

"After all, it’s just a middle-grade magical artifact!"

Even with the support of the Water Control Technique.

It was still stopped by Heifeng’s flying sword.

"A Qi Cultivation Perfection Sword Cultivator, indeed the attack is powerful."

"That flying sword, its quality is at least upper-grade tier one! If taken to auction, it would fetch thousands of spirit stones!"

Shen Xuan seemed to see a pile of gleaming spirit stones waving at him.

In these times, everyone was struggling.

Who would dislike having too many spirit stones!

With a slight movement of his Divine Thought.

[Water Control], [Critical Strike], [Iron Bone], [Condensed Water Blade Technique]!

The waters of the Longze River seemed to be summoned, surging into giant waves, surrounding Shen Xuan.

The Water-Splitting Mount Emei Needle in his hand suddenly emitted a three-zhang deep dark light, forming four deep blue Cold Ice Divine Dragons coiling around the tip.

Within a thirty-zhang radius, Water Spiritual Power continuously gathered onto the Cold Ice Divine Dragon, its aura growing ever stronger.

"Swift!"

Shen Xuan pointed at Heifeng.

The four deep blue Cold Ice Divine Dragons vied to fly over.

The ordinary [Condensed Water Blade Technique] could only solidify one Cold Ice Divine Dragon.

Shen Xuan’s [Condensed Water Blade Technique] constantly solidified the Cold Ice Divine Dragon at the tip of the Water-Splitting Mount Emei Needle.

Every few breaths, there were four.

Continuously absorbing the Longze River’s Water Spiritual Qi, relentlessly bombarding.

Within a hundred-zhang radius, all within the attack range of the Cold Ice Divine Dragons formed by the [Condensed Water Blade Technique].

With the addition of multiple talents, Shen Xuan’s [Condensed Water Blade Technique], though still at mastery stage, was significantly stronger than ordinary cultivators who had refined it to great success.

In just a dozen breaths, there were already over a dozen Cold Ice Divine Dragons roaring fiercely out.

"Splash!"

Above the Longze River, the sound of rushing water roared continuously.

The three obstructionist flying ships, with their Tribulation Cultivators all with faces as pale as paper, deployed magical artifacts and talismans to counter the Cold Ice Divine Dragons exuding a destructive aura.

"Boom!"

A series of tremendous crashes, the dark icy blades transformed by the Cold Ice Divine Dragons broke through various magical artifacts and talismans, crashing hard onto the Tribulation Cultivators’ flying ships!

The three Tribulation Cultivator flying ships, their protective spiritual light flickered for just a few breaths, dimming and dispersing, torn apart by the relentless Cold Ice Divine Dragons, collapsing and crashing down!

Simultaneously.

Seven or eight Cold Ice Divine Dragons all shot towards Heifeng.

Shen Xuan was still quite considerate of a Qi Cultivation Perfection Sword Cultivator.

Heifeng’s face drastically changed.

Only at this moment did he realize he had made a fatal mistake.

The Water Technique Demon Hunter on the flying ship was much stronger than he had imagined!

So strong that he couldn’t resist at all!

He slapped his waist.

A Golden Ring Spiritual Artifact appeared in front of him, spinning continuously.

However, this upper-grade defensive artifact also only blocked two Cold Ice Divine Dragons before it couldn’t hold on, the spiritual light dimming.

This bought Heifeng two or three seconds.

He roared angrily, his body turning into a black smoke, fleeing rapidly.

Not even having time to retrieve his flying sword and golden ring!

Shen Xuan casually took the flying sword and golden ring, looking at Heifeng’s retreating figure, feeling a bit regretful.

If it were in the water, he could still catch up.

But knowing Shen Xuan was a Water Cultivator, Heifeng fled upwards.

This made Shen Xuan somewhat hesitant too.

The further away from water, the more his strength decreases.

After calculating in his mind, Shen Xuan ultimately gave up the chase.

Safety first.

Without absolute certainty, there’s no need to fight forcibly.

The flying ship accelerated, speeding forward.

"Shen Talisman Master, don’t chase a cornered enemy! Let’s return to the market!"

"Alright!"

Shen Xuan immediately retracted the Water Cloud Shield, standing again at the forefront of the ship.

He had promised that the flying ship could return safely.

After a while, he noticed that Xia Muqing’s mouth had been agape, never closing.

"Fellow Daoist Xia..."

Xia Muqing stretched out her hand, holding her jaw, and rubbed her stiff face.

"Shen Talisman Master, what is your Cultivation Realm?"

"Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer."

"Impossible!"

Xia Muqing was full of disbelief: "I am also at the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, also a Water Cultivator. Why do I feel the difference between us is somewhat large?"

Shi Xiangdong nodded, saying, "It is quite large."

"Very large!" This was Wen Zijian’s judgement.

Shen Xuan smiled faintly.

"The cultivation techniques and techniques I practice are secret transmissions from the sect."

"Moreover, a few years ago, I suddenly awakened some mysterious bloodline talents."

Xia Muqing had no choice but to believe Shen Xuan’s explanation.

Everyone has secrets.

Shen Xuan didn’t need to explain anyway.

"Shen Talisman Master, do you accept disciples?"

"Can I become your disciple?"

"Will you teach me?"

Shen Xuan had a look of apology.

"Sorry, the cultivation techniques and techniques have sect prohibitions, can’t be privately transmitted."

Xia Muqing still wanted to try.

Zhao Chunsheng shouted sternly, "Enough! Any issues, let’s discuss back at the market! We are still not out of danger!"
