Chapter 897: Mutual Damage

This strike was to dig out He Lingchuan's heart entirely. If this commander was killed, Jade Balance City wouldn't be so difficult to deal with.

He Lingchuan didn't have eyes on the back of his head, but his left wrist flipped up, and the short knife went from bottom to top, from outside to inside, accurately picking Fu Shanlie's left arm, as if he had taken the initiative to send it over.

If Fu Shanlie didn't shrink his wrist, he would have his hand chopped off before he could dig into He Lingchuan's heart.

He had to flip his left wrist and grab the back of the knife first.

However, does this kid think that if he controls his two hands, he is not threatened?

Fu Shanlie sneered secretly, opened his mouth, and bit toward He Lingchuan's neck! He is a *Ba*, and besides the sharp claws on his two hands, he also has a mouth full of fangs! As long as the essence blood and true *qi* are sucked away, the prey will lose its ability in a few breaths.

However, before his fangs could pierce the prey's skin, his back suddenly felt cold.

An enemy was attacking from behind, and it was close at hand!

So fast, faster than him.

Is this the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind? He simply let go of his left hand and dodged, his movements were not fast, and his body even turned into a phantom, about to turn into flowing water.

Fu Shanlie's actions were more decisive than He Lingchuan expected; once he sensed danger, he withdrew and left, without being greedy for merit.

Behind him, another "He Lingchuan" appeared, holding the Floating Life, and slashed diagonally at his back!

Courtesy demands reciprocity.

Fu Shanlie was as slippery as a loach; if he wanted to defeat him in the water quickly, he had to use his body as bait.

As long as the bait is big enough, there is no fish that cannot be lured.

He Lingchuan's "Wave Splitting Method" was mainly calm, and even slashed down along the texture of the water flow, without revealing a bit of murderous aura.

In such a harsh underwater world, with interference factors everywhere, Fu Shanlie could still discover the abnormality, his spiritual sense was truly powerful.

But he was still a step late, just a small step.

He Lingchuan's clone slashed down, and there was a real feeling of cutting bone and meat.

Fu Shanlie did successfully turn into water, but one arm was cut off by the knife, and blood flowers filled the air.

It hit.

Whether it was the grasp of the timing or the special effect of the Floating Life's specialty of cutting formless and bodiless things, anyway, Fu Shanlie paid the price of an arm before successfully escaping from under the knife.

He Lingchuan turned around, grabbed the severed arm, and collected it into the storage ring at once.

He and the clone cooperated seamlessly; even if Fu Shanlie wanted to snatch it, it was too late.

Both sides of the battle were injured.

That small stream of clear water circled around, all dyed into blood water by itself, and was about to pounce back, when suddenly a strange thing with a buzzing noise rushed into the river.

It stirred up the water flow so muddy that even He Lingchuan had to use his full eyesight to discover that this was a high-speed rotating... wheel? It also traveled at an outrageous speed in the water, and in just three or four breaths, it killed four water demons, including the giant crocodile that had ambushed He Lingchuan earlier.

The monster skin that even the Jade Balance City army's spears and arrows could hardly pierce was actually thinner than paper in front of this sudden big killer.

Whose magic treasure is so formidable? It specializes in killing water demons; it seems to be on our side? He Lingchuan knows his subordinates' abilities like the back of his hand, and in the blink of an eye, he can judge that this newly revealed great killing weapon was likely unleashed by Lu Xun and the others.

In the blink of an eye, the flying wheel went to chase a golden fierce fish.

The name of this fish is "Fierce Fish," and the Longchuan locals also call it *Ya-ba-la*, with a mouth full of protruding and interlaced nail teeth, over four feet long. Although its size is not large, its swimming speed is amazing, and it likes to act in groups, so crocodiles and pythons avoid them.

These few big goods lived in Jin Tao for over two hundred years and entered Longchuan with the flood, always living comfortably. Unexpectedly, they just came out with Fu Shanlie to take advantage, and encountered such a star of evil.

The wheel added another bit of strength, changed speed twice, and killed two fierce fish.

The water demons saw that the situation was not good and turned to run, fearing to be targeted by it.

When the flying wheel was chasing the fierce fish leader, it happened to pass by the giant shark He Lingchuan was riding earlier; perhaps it was interested in a bigger prey, so it twisted its direction temporarily.

With a *zi-la* sound, it cut meat and shaved bone. The giant shark's speed was like an old lady compared to it; it just turned its head and hadn't had time to accelerate before it was separated from its head and body.

The blood was as thick as ink, and the flying wheel lingered for two breaths, as if wanting to suck a few more mouthfuls, before randomly picking the next target.

Fu Shanlie was injured and didn't dare to show his figure in front of it. This thing looked difficult to deal with, not to mention that there was He Lingchuan waiting to take revenge on the side.

After waiting so long for an ambush opportunity, is it going to end here?

It hesitated, and He Lingchuan threw the long knife in his hand at it.

It dodged left and right, and the Floating Life chased closely in the water.

The special effect of hitting the target with one strike, activated.

He Lingchuan took the opportunity to float to the water surface and took a long breath.

*Hu*, never felt the air so fresh.

The guards' shouts came from the shore: "The Commander is here!"

The iron-clad copper man controlled by Hu Min strode toward here.

He Lingchuan didn't need its help, raised his hand and threw a small cloth bag to the shore.

And then he felt a sense:

The Floating Life Knife was coming toward him.

The precious knife was chasing behind Fu Shanlie, which means, this big monster came to find him again.

Despite being seriously injured, Fu Shanlie's fighting will was still tenacious.

He Lingchuan was a bit annoyed; if he had known that the Floating Life's "hit with one strike" characteristic could be used to track Fu Shanlie, he wouldn't have been so overwhelmed by the opponent's Water Escape attack underwater.

However, he still had no advantage in underwater combat and didn't want to be entangled by Fu Shanlie again.

Before the opponent rushed over, he disappeared from the water.

A tiny cicada slough floated on the water surface.

"Commander!" The guards rushed over and saw He Lingchuan standing on the shore, soaked all over, his right shoulder stained red with blood. But he didn't even frown, as if he had no pain, just staring straight at the water surface.

Subsequently, the Floating Life Knife broke through the water, and returned to its master's hand with a *xiu* sound.

A thread of crimson hung on the blade, and it dripped to the ground in a blink of an eye.

It still hit, just don't know where Fu Shanlie's wound is.

In the muddy and rapid river water, Fu Shanlie also emerged and looked at He Lingchuan face to face.

One person and one demon, on the shore and in the water, glared at each other, as if wanting to remember the other's appearance in their hearts.

Fu Shanlie also had an extra knife cut on his forehead, looking bloody, but it was just an external injury.

He Lingchuan raised his knife tip at him: "Heal your wounds well, the day I use you to sacrifice the knife is not far away!"

Fu Shanlie lost an arm, and blood flowed continuously. He said gloomily: "Congratulations! You successfully won a devastating disaster for everyone in Jade Balance City!"

In just two instants, before Liu Tiao could shoot an arrow, Fu Shanlie disappeared into the water.
