Chapter 499

"Did it work?"

Liang Qu removes the vortex waterway, ensuring no one can follow, and sticks his head out nervously.

Tatta Kai also drills out of the water, looking around together.

The world is filled with gray mist.

The surging waves slap against his body, and the dense light rain blurs his vision.

Except for the sound of heaven and earth, there is no other noise; let alone a large boat, even the shadow of land cannot be seen.

The length of this vortex waterway is over three hundred miles; Liang Qu spent a lot of effort, building more than a dozen to complete it, just to pull away enough distance.

In his impression, before he drilled into the waterway, the snake demons had all followed...

Liang Qu's golden eyes control the school of fish to disperse, confirming no people or snakes are following, retains some physical strength, and actively cancels 【Spirit Transformation】.

The white ape collapses.

Tatta Kai puts away the flag and drapes the Dragon Lingxiao over Liang Qu.

"Should be fine..."

Liang Qu puts on the Dragon Lingxiao, silently reciting two sentences; he thinks he chose the node very well.

The Marquis of Weining has prestige and won't be like Xu Yuelong, doing things like the main force docking first while he goes fishing on the river, leaving others hanging.

Having dealt with the snake demons, he likely won't have time to look for him, but will first go to meet the prefecture master, commanders, and others who are welcoming him.

Moreover, he is wearing the River Patrol Office's flag, the other party must have recognized it; what is the point of looking for a "white ape"? If they want to look for someone, they should look for Su Guishan.

His thoughts are clear.

Liang Qu paddles with his palms, not knowing where to go for a moment.

Going straight to find Xu Yuelong and the others is definitely not okay.

Not safe.

Su Guishan is fishing for big fish, it's not good to be caught in the crossfire.

Going to welcome the Wu Sheng alone is too presumptuous.

Liang Qu is a sixth-rank Hengshui Envoy, going to welcome a prince, there are more than ten ranks in between, he can't keep up.

After thinking about it.

Go ashore first!

Boom!

Blood qi is like a tide, steel wind is like the sea.

The terrifying blood light dyes the entire near shore red, and the astonishing killing intent boils and surges on the Great Lake.

Just one encounter, the large boat over ten zhang long is shattered into wood chips all over the river, and two figures are entangled on the river surface.

Weng Lijun spits blood, hard-topping the Ghost Mother Sect Jiang Zongshi's offensive to protect himself, the black-gold soft armor under his clothes is tattered, several inserts are cracked in two, if it weren't for several small wooden tokens playing a miraculous effect, it would truly be adding frost to snow.

"Su Guishan, I curse your ancestors for eight generations! Come out quickly!"

The steel wind pauses.

"Su Guishan?!"

"Come, come, come, this old man will play with you!"

Before the words fall, a blurry figure rushes out from the forest by the shore, walking on the waves, clothes and long hair dancing wildly, before the person has even arrived, he is already lifting his arms and swinging his shoulders, slamming a palm down from dozens of zhang away!

The attacker is greatly alarmed.

It's actually true!

The previous one-for-one, the old turtle was actually unscathed?

Clearly...

Damn it, tricked again!

The few blurry shouts in the wind contain a huge amount of information.

In an instant.

Two blurry figures turn into three.

Sword light, dragon roar, and palm wind resound through the sky, the visible shockwave shatters the entire Great Lake, countless water splashes jump and dance, and rolling mud pours into the water.

The dense collision sounds are layered, completely unable to distinguish whether it hit once or twice.

Xu Yuelong and Wei Lin drag a group of subordinates to retreat far away, returning to the shore to temporarily avoid the sharp edge. Under the vast momentum, they only feel like a leaf boat on the Great Lake, swaying in the wind and rain.

The Ghost Mother Sect Jiang Zongshi knows the Wu Sheng is on the side, hurriedly parries two moves, not wanting to entangle, turns around and retreats.

Su Guishan laughs, takes a step, collapses a hundred-zhang big wave, rolls into a water dragon, and walks along the river.

"Since you're here, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Are you hungry and rushing back to drink milk?!"

The sudden strong wind blows the ground, pressing a thousand layers of river waves to roll back.

The water surface is like a bed sheet being shaken in the morning, countless dead fish explode out of the water, are ground into a blood mist by the steel wind, and mixed into the rain.

The astonishing bloody evil spirit rushes toward them.

On the shore.

Except for the few commanders who knew the inside story and had expectations, the others are pale and still terrified.

Agreed to welcome the carriage, why didn't anyone mention this?

Su Guishan, isn't he the dead former Prefecture Master of Huaiyin?

Did he do a sit-up?

Xiang Fang Su's thoughts turn rapidly, suddenly understanding why Weng Lijun's complexion was not good.

On the Great Lake.

The chains shake.

The speed of the three boats increases sharply; if they were drifting before, now they are almost flying low!

A moment.

The King of Yue laughs.

An old minister on the side bows: "Why does the Great King laugh? Is there any happy event?"

The King of Yue points to the hazy distance.

"I traveled from north to south, and the prefecture masters along the way all invited me, fulfilling the duties of a host, so I dawdled, walking for nearly two months, which can be said to be eating all the local specialties and seeing all the local customs.

Only this Pingyang Prefecture's hospitality is unique; just now they sent four snake demons to whet my appetite, and now, worried that I won't have enough to eat, they sent another remnant grandmaster."

Remnant grandmaster?

Several old ministers look at each other.

Their strength is low, they don't know why the King of Yue said this, but they guess that something important must happen ahead.

The imperial court enfeoffed the Marquis of Weining as the King of Yue, which had two purposes.

Deter the dragon, suppress the ghost mother.

Could it be...

The King of Yue waves his hand, without much explanation, a silver light flies from his side, like a sword lifting a curtain, piercing the vast rain screen.

"Hoo hoo hoo!"

Liang Qu climbs onto the near shore, his whole body weak, as if soaked in a vinegar jar.

With the help of his remaining physical strength, he performs water travel several times, not even bringing Cannot Move and Tatta Kai, and finally rushes back to the shore before his strength is exhausted.

On the shore.

Red Mountain flicks its tail, having waited for a long time.

Liang Qu takes two breaths, climbs onto its back, steps on the horse, and a fierce red wind rolls toward the horizon.

Several quarter-hours later.

Liang Qu sits on the horse's back, secretly surprised.

A mess.

At the boundary between water and shore, the river surface is stirred into a muddy color, and broken giant wood floats on the water surface.

Wood splinters less than a finger long are mixed into the brown waves, and occasionally a few complete wooden boards as long as an arm can be seen.

Lifting the wooden boards, underneath are incomplete small fish with their bellies turned up.

In the small forest ahead, a group of officials are taking off their hats, wringing out their clothes, shaking them flat, and then hurriedly putting them back on.

Xu Yuelong has sharp eyes, sees Liang Qu rushing over on horseback, and is quite surprised.

"Is the matter finished?"

"Finished."

Xu Yuelong's expression relaxes slightly.

As long as it's finished.

A group of snake demons staying behind always made him, this commander, feel uneasy.

Looks him up and down.

"Where are your official robes? Not wearing official robes to welcome the carriage, what kind of decorum is that?"

"No need for such trouble."

Liang Qu pats his chest, the whole Dragon Lingxiao changes color and reorganizes itself.

Jacket, middle garment, lower skirt, knee covers...

A whole set of cumbersome formal attire, put on in the blink of an eye, Liang Qu then takes out the Liang crown and jade pendant from the side of the saddle to wear.

All set.

The others look on with envy.

This whole set, just putting it on would take them an hour, having a Dragon Lingxiao is too convenient, more valuable than soft armor!

Ran Zhongshi puts on his clothes and ties his belt: "Ashui, didn't you ask for leave?"

"Asked for leave to handle matters, after finishing, I saw there was time left, so I rushed over."

"We thought you were beaten by someone so badly you couldn't get out of bed, daring to ask for leave to welcome the Wu Sheng, but in the end, you're the clever one, damn it, if I had known, I wouldn't have come either!" Ke Wenbin regrets it deeply.

Bullshit welcoming the Wu Sheng.

A boat full of bait!

Whoever comes is a fool.

"Did you know early on?" Xiang Fang Su looks him up and down, showing suspicion.

"Ah? What? Oh right, what happened? Where are our boats?"

Everyone: "..."

"Stop talking nonsense, the boats are here, hurry up and tidy up!"

Xu Yuelong gives a low drink.

Everyone looks into the distance.

Several black dots appear from the horizon, gradually enlarging.

A little closer.

They see four snake demons with silver patterns on their heads, their necks pierced by chains, dripping blood, dragging the large boats, approaching at high speed.

Xu Yuelong's pupils dilate.

"You said you solved the snake demons, is this how you solved them?"

Liang Qu is stunned: "Didn't it say so in the letter?"

"Bullshit!"

Ran Zhongshi and the others hear the conversation and look sideways.

No way.

What does that mean?

Snake demons in front of the Wu Sheng's boat.

Ashui did it?

On the Great Lake.

Su Guishan pants heavily, seeing this scene, suddenly understanding why the Wu Sheng's support came so timely.

According to the plan, he thought he would have to solve it by himself, but didn't expect that halfway through the fight, the mysterious soldiers would appear.

It turns out the snake demons added fuel to the fire.
