Chapter 1190: It Must Be Liang Qu!

~18 min read 3,461 words

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Rivers of blood!"

The shouting was like a tsunami, the leaves on the branches shook and swirled, the stones on the ground vibrated and bounced, shifting positions, and the forest birds all flew away.

The water tower reached the sky, the entire thirteenth floor, the jellyfish shone brightly, and the screen was completely dominated by the Hai Yecha and the Golden Bell, manifesting between heaven and earth!

The sound of metal and iron resounded through the mountain ridges, Guan Congjian and Huo Hongyuan's figures intertwined, fighting on the water, inseparable.

The water flow tore apart, bubbles flew.

The gale swept through, tearing the small fish into blood smoke.

"Hai Yecha! Hai Yecha! Hai Yecha!"

Hai Yecha Huo Hongyuan was a local, a martial arts examinee from Yunzhou. Even if Guan Congjian performed more brilliantly, he couldn't make the people of Huangzhou and Yunzhou turn against him. On the ground, those supporting Huo Hongyuan accounted for the majority, over seventy percent.

"Little Buddha! Little Buddha! Little Buddha!"

However, except for Huangzhou, there were many people from other places, and even children of big clans from Nanzhili came through the waterways to watch the fun, hard-headedly supporting a piece of sky. Seeing Guan Congjian use Buddhist techniques, they crowned him with the title of Little Buddha.

The painter wrote and painted quickly, his pen and ink clicking.

A wonderful picture of an evil-faced Hai Yecha holding a steel fork and smashing it at the Golden Bell was quickly drawn.

The annual Great Hunt was also a great opportunity for these third-rate painters to make money.

Huangzhou, Yunzhou, and even the surrounding places were martial, with a fierce folk style, and their pockets were full of spare money. During festivals, there had always been a custom of hanging the head of the Great Hunt instead of the door god. To this day, some families still have fierce portraits of Liang Qu riding the Red Mountain and winning the championship hanging at their doors.

"Elder, Elder, who do you think will win?" Long Yao and Long Li squeezed their fingers nervously.

Who will win.

On the mountain peak, the Huo family members pricked up their ears.

"Both have a chance to win."

"What is that? Don't be a fence-sitter! Elder, you are a Wu Sheng. Two Hunting Tigers are fighting, and you can't give a conclusion, so we can have a bottom line?"

"Yes, A-Shui, your realm is so high, don't be a fence-sitter, hurry up and say, who will win?"

Ran Zhongshi and others were also curious, urging and asking one after another.

The Huo family pricked up their ears even higher. The Xu family, the Chi family, and even Magistrate Xu Wanzheng moved their steps closer.

Although Huo Hongyuan was from Yunzhou, his mother was from the Xu family of Huangzhou, so he could rub off on it. Guan Congjian was not, so no matter what, a Huangzhou prefect couldn't rub off on him.

Liang Qu rolled his eyes: "So what if I am a Heavenly Dragon? I am not a worm in their stomachs. How would I know if the two have any means left, or what martial arts they have learned? If a high realm could see the outcome, the Immortal wouldn't have given Guan Congjian treasure fish. Does that mean the Immortal favors Guan Congjian, and Guan Congjian is sure to win?"

Everyone glanced at the Immortal from the corner of their eyes and felt that it made sense.

The Huo family breathed a sigh of relief. The Immortal intervened, and they really thought the championship was internally determined.

"Then the Elder can't be 'both have a chance to win' as an answer, right?" Long Li hugged her arms. "I can say that too!"

"You are amazing."

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed.

"Ouch—" Long Li blushed, hurriedly hiding behind Long Eying. "Sister Eying~ Why is the Elder like this—"

The bones of the juniors on the mountain softened.

"Alright, you are all grown up, and you only have this much promise." Liang Qu pondered for a while. "Huo Hongyuan, he should have a better chance of winning."

"Ah?"

Long Yao and Long Li tilted their heads.

On the side, Zong Lichan's heart lifted.

Hai Yecha has a better chance of winning!

The Huo family began to dance with joy, poking each other, triumphant.

Xu Zishuai rubbed his chin: "Guan Congjian has been breaking through and swept away the eleventh and twelfth floors. His momentum is like a rainbow. Just on this, his strength is at least thirty percent stronger.

Both are born with martial bones. Although Huo Hongyuan is one of the twenty-eight constellations, Guan Congjian is also a strange one, fighting more bravely as he fights, and likes to find masters to compete. Are the two really that different in talent?"

Liang Qu shook his head.

"You all underestimate Huo Hongyuan too much, and you also underestimate the twenty-eight constellations of the imperial court. Guan Congjian fights more bravely as he fights, but Huo Hongyuan is a Hai Yecha, and also a fierce god.

And in terms of martial bones, I remember Guan Congjian's martial bone is the four-image tendon and bone, with infinite strength and special muscles. But Huo Hongyuan's Hai Yecha bone is better at water warfare! Quick, light, and brave. He also serves in the River Patrol Office, and is five years older than Guan Congjian—"

"Hiss!"

"Forgot this, Hai Yecha bone."

The Huo family youth puffed out their chests, and the Xu family also felt happy.

Liang Qu pointed to the commoners shouting on the ground: "To tell the truth, the outcome of the two is about the same as the commoners below, three-seven or even lower, two-eight. It depends on whether Huo Hongyuan will be careless and whether he has a strong desire to win the championship.

However, don't be too frustrated. Not winning is not a big deal, just not getting the championship reward. This kid doesn't care about victory or defeat; he just likes to fight with evenly matched opponents. The point is to enjoy it. After the Great Hunt ends, he should be able to bury the second divine seed in one breath."

"What, the second one?" Everyone exclaimed.

Guan Congjian's age was younger than most of them, and his realm was also a small realm lower. As a result, in one Great Hunt, he went from not burying one to burying the second, crossing two small realms, and directly overtaking them?

"The opportunity is rare, and it cannot be replicated. Furthermore, three blood lions, one over twenty jin, three totaling nearly seventy jin, are almost equal to a large medicine. The blood lion's characteristic is to temper Qi and blood, which is suitable for his martial bone and fate. One plus one plus one is greater than three."

Xu Zishuai slapped his palm with his fist.

"That's right."

Martial Saints built the stage, three Immortals watched at the same time, one million people watched, just the right age and a large number of opponents, and the ability to refresh the state with five treasure fish after leaving the battle—some of these factors could barely be replicated, and some could not at all. Especially the three Immortals. Before today, they didn't even know if there were really furnaces in the world. Being able to gather today's grand drama was already the blessing Guan Congjian had accumulated for eight lifetimes!

Two days and three nights, walking through at least three or four years of cultivation path.

This is fate.

"This is luck." Ke Wenbin sighed.

Before entering the Perfected Form, the best age for human cultivation is only the first sixty years of life, and the first forty years are the peak. Heart and state are all at the peak. Starting cultivation at fifteen, there are only twenty-five years left. Saving three or four years is almost one-eighth.

"Hoo!"

Guan Congjian bit open a pig bladder, changed breath twice, his whole body was crimson, vertical muscles protruded from his skin, and the surrounding clear water was burned into boiling water and white mist, bubbling and surging.

Huo Hongyuan was also shirtless, but his performance was completely different.

His muscles did not swell with blood, but gradually contracted with the fierce battle, revealing joints. The muscles on his chest condensed tightly like iron ropes, his skin color deepened constantly, and there was an iron wire net under his skin.

One red and one black, two evil ghosts.

The water flow swept.

"Guan Congjian!"

Huo Hongyuan stared at the Golden Bell. He knew this person.

In the vast Pingyang Prefecture, there were only a few people born with martial bones. How could he not have heard of him?

Guan Congjian, a disciple of Helian Nianci, and Zong Lichan, who was also born with a martial bone, were a couple. He served in the Demon Arresting Division and liked to post visiting cards everywhere to invite people to compete. He had also posted one to him, but Huo Hongyuan was not interested and had never agreed. He didn't expect to bump into him here by chance.

But the two were five years apart. Even if this person had a red heart and fought more bravely as he fought, if he couldn't win, he wouldn't have to mix in the River Patrol Office in the future!

Bang!

The black and red evil ghosts collided underwater.

The boiling water bubbles wrapped around the huge force and pressed over. Huo Hongyuan didn't dodge or evade. He shook his shoulders and back, his muscles shrank like an iron net, took the collision hard, his arms like pliers, and went straight for the throat.

Guan Congjian bent his elbows to block, and the other hand used the boiling white water to hinder his vision, hooking towards the opponent's ribs.

The two twisted their bodies at the same time.

But Huo Hongyuan was three points faster. His wrists hooked tightly, leaving several deep marks on Guan Congjian's chest.

The two sank at the same time.

Guan Congjian breathed again, and his crimson body made the surrounding water area shine. Huo Hongyuan, however, seemed to merge into the water area, with only his eyes cold.

"Roar!"

A mutation occurred suddenly. A beast roar broke the fight between the two, and the sharp claws slashed down from the air.

The fog beast at the peak of the Hunting Tiger!

It was that the two of them accidentally broke into the fog beast's territory during the fight!

Huo Hongyuan and Guan Congjian dispersed at the same time, the situation became complicated again, turning into a three-party melee.

Just at this moment, Liang Qu noticed something and pulled out two more small screens.

The villagers were surprised.

Ambushers.

Two!

Seeing the names and looking at the gambling house introduction, both were in the initial stage of Hunting Tiger, one had buried a divine seed, and one had not.

However, many Huangzhou people didn't know them at all, and immediately understood their identities.

"Outsiders!"

"They are the fourth and fifth place! A man should face the battle head-on, not sneak attacks—despicable, despicable!"

"Hai Yecha! Hai Yecha! Hai Yecha!"

The gamblers who bet on Huo Hongyuan to win had red eyes and cheered.

The commoners who hadn't bet on anything were purely excited.

Ups and downs, ups and downs!

This is the difference between the Great Hunt and the arena competition. In the arena competition, both sides set up their posture, hard bridges and hard horses, at most showing fighting talent, little thoughts, and nothing else can be used.

Only in the Great Hunt, even if the hard strength is a bit worse, there is no chance of winning, turning defeat into victory, wave after wave, full of accidents, more realistic, and more exciting.

The Huo family patriarch's palms were full of sweat.

Xu Wanzheng's heart was pounding.

This year's Great Hunt was truly too exciting. Even Liang Qu's session wasn't like this. After all, whoever won was about the same, it was just that Liang Qu won unexpectedly, and the real losers were the contestants.

The Great Shun and Southern Frontier Immortals couldn't help but be infected.

This is the difference between watching alone and watching together. The most real emotions cannot be faked.

If a grand event of several Hunting Tigers and Wolf Smokes is like this, what about the vast East Sea in the future, when it changes to Heavenly Dragons and Perfected Forms?

How long has it been since there was such a sense of freshness.

"Catch fish, catch fish!"

Du Hanwen's head poked out of the water tower to breathe. He could hear the shouting of the commoners below and roughly guessed that because it was the last day, there was a duel between masters to grab the ranking. However, the top-level water pressure was not something that people without True Qi could go to. It was better to catch two more treasure fish and earn two more credits.

"It's midnight."

Liang Qu glanced at the clepsydra. There were only two and a half hours left until dawn. Just at this moment, the two who had been lurking for a long time on the thirteenth floor took a deep breath at the pig bladder, exploded True Qi, jumped out, and also joined the battle, a five-party melee!

Huo Hongyuan and Guan Congjian fought halfway, and neither of them was at their peak. Facing the fog beast and the third party, they gave birth to a strong desire to breathe—variables!

All kinds of Qi crossed, and the fog beast at the peak of the Hunting Tiger did not have the ability to recover. It actually collapsed bit by bit during the fight of the four people.

Bang!

The fog beast exploded.

The fourth-place ambusher was quick-eyed and fast-handed, grabbed the beast head, and points soared by 169. The remaining three shared 56.3 points each.

The shouting from the local area was continuous, and some people even shouted their voices hoarse.

Time passed second by second.

The four people in the melee were becoming more and more sluggish and tired because they couldn't change their breath.

The fourth and fifth place were unbelievable. They attacked at full strength, but couldn't hold on against the two who had fought halfway?

"Almost there." Liang Qu suddenly said.

As soon as the words fell.

!

The "bow-backed shrimp" hit the rolling bubbles. The fifth place was kicked away by Huo Hongyuan. The Hai Yecha True Qi on his head threw the steel fork with great force, piercing the abdomen of the ape True Qi in mid-air. The fifth place, who was at the limit, couldn't hold on anymore, his face was purple, and he instinctively took a deep breath.

Clatter!

Not good!

The fifth place was shocked. The liquid that Guan Congjian had steamed into boiling water filled his lungs, and the uncontrollable coughing reaction made him lose his ability to resist.

The fourth place fought against Guan Congjian, his head dizzy. Seeing this, he wanted to shake off his opponent, but it was too late. Huo Hongyuan turned his body, his dark red face had returned to normal, and the Hai Yecha danced the steel fork True Qi, carrying the ape True Qi, and slashed down horizontally.

Bang! Bang!

The ape True Qi and the long knife True Qi collided and shattered at the same time.

Huo Hongyuan took advantage of the situation and knocked the two out of the water tower.

The situation changed shockingly, and Guan Congjian retreated repeatedly.

"Why is this guy's endurance so sufficient? He wasn't very good just now, but now his face has recovered. He hasn't changed his breath from beginning to end." Everyone was confused.

"Because—" Liang Qu turned the screen, let the fluorescent jellyfish gather, controlled the swirling water to refract the light and shadow, and released the previous scene.

"Huo Hongyuan on the 'screen' swallowed a pig bladder into his stomach while in the bubble. It fell into his stomach, opened upwards, swallowed Qi to swell, blocked his throat, and when fighting, he returned Qi from his stomach to his mouth, changing breath in small sections of internal circulation. I think it has a good 'program effect', so I didn't enlarge it for you."

"Can it still be like this?"

"A-Shui, how did this come about?" Xiang Zhangsong was curious.

"I said I am not a worm. If it weren't for being in the water tower, who knows what means they hid? Most of them practiced it because of something before."

"I know." Ran Zhongshi opened his mouth. "It's the Airbag Floating Breath Method in the River Patrol Office."

"Airbag Floating Breath Method?"

"Yes, it's a strange technique recorded in a 'Water Injection Classic'. It can change two more breaths than others. It was used by tomb robbers when they went down to large tombs flooded by water. It was seen by the author when he was governing the rivers and was recorded by the way. It became a small technique not in martial arts, requiring good internal organ control and practice of overcoming instinct. Not many people know it."

Ke Wenbin gave a thumbs up: "Still have to be my Brother Ran who is knowledgeable!"

"Can see it, this patrolling sea Hai Yecha is also a book lover?" Xu Zishuai was surprised.

Ran Zhongshi shook his head: "Not necessarily. It's not a method that is hard to think of. I'm just stating my basis. Perhaps Huo Hongyuan figured it out himself."

One was pale, one was purple.

Fighting to this moment, the outcome was already clear.

Guan Congjian, whose face had become purple, suddenly floated two bubbles from his nostrils. He couldn't bear it anymore, took a deep breath of water, covered his mouth, dropped the treasure fish, and struggled to swim out.

Huo Hongyuan didn't pursue, and accepted the treasure fish.

Dawn was approaching. Taking the treasure fish carried by these three people, his score was already the undisputed first.

The overall situation was set!

The cheers became a tsunami.

"Hai Yecha! Hai Yecha! Hai Yecha!"

"Alas—the little monk from the outer sect is not good." Long Yao and Long Li were disappointed.

"Shouldn't you praise my sharp vision now?" Liang Qu hugged his arms.

Long Yao and Long Li rolled their eyes.

Two hours left.

Guan Congjian, who had lost two thousand points, didn't stop for a moment, went to find people to compete, and grabbed fish—

The dim purple light flashed from the sky, indicating the successful conclusion of this year's Great Hunt.

The Heaven-Reaching Water Tower collapsed with a bang.

The water flow surged, and all the hunters felt their backs being supported, falling lightly to the ground, in all directions, streams flowing into the Ba River, Huai River, and Peng Ze.

"Hmm? Over?"

The water level suddenly rose, and General Yuan swayed, sleepy and confused, not knowing what happened.

On the mountain ridge, the clerks and cooks were very busy. The servants inserted brand new wooden boards, and the whole board was replaced, rearranged from beginning to end according to the ranking.

First place: Huo Hongyuan, 8,653.3 points.

Second place: Guan Congjian, 5,000. —

Third place: Dou Weichen, 4,000—

Fourth place: —

Liang Qu still remembered his first place, totaling more than 400 points. This year's game, because of the layers and fog beasts, the points directly "expanded" to nearly 10,000 points.

The gambling houses reopened to exchange tickets, and the crowd was crowded.

In pure happiness, there always seems to be a little disharmony, pulling people back to reality.

"Things should be planned slowly. On the day of the agreement, send an envoy to welcome you."

The sound from the sky hung down, and Liang Qu bowed respectfully: "I will definitely do my best to help the Whale Emperor accomplish this great event!"

The white clouds dispersed, and the Immortals left.

Xu Wanzheng was in a trance, as if in a dream.

He actually had a day to see a furnace in his life—above Peng Ze.

General Yuan, who was shaken awake by the rising water waves, swam leisurely towards the center, suddenly seeing the white clouds gathering and dispersing in the sky, his heart jumping wildly.

Whale Emperor???

When did it come?

Without waiting for the old turtle to kowtow.

"Grand event in the future, looking forward to your arrival."

The white clouds dispersed.

"?"

General Yuan was confused.

Grand event? What grand event? Where to arrive? Is there a banquet? What happened?

Time worm crawled out of the cave and asked what was going on.

General Yuan thought about it.

Turtle claws patted the water.

"It must be that kid Liang Qu!" ===== CHAPTER 1191 =====
