Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

The Red Sun Piercing the Sun was no longer a single golden flame, but wrapped in a layer of emerald green; the two colors intertwined and devoured each other, ultimately transforming into a yellow-green light pillar several zhang in diameter.

The fire patterns on the surface of the light pillar no longer flowed, but rolled like living things; the air was ignited, forming a long line of fire, and even space was scorched and slightly twisted, with the crackling sound of burning wood constantly resounding.

The clothes on Zhao Wuji's body burned inch by inch into ash, and the seawater beneath his feet was even more violently boiled; this time it didn't even bubble, directly transforming into white mist with a bang, stirring up a wall of steam mist dozens of zhang high.

The Leikui Dragon Beast was scalded until its dark golden scales seeped fine beads of sweat; the fine lightning sprayed from the short horn on its forehead had just contacted the heat wave of the light pillar when it was baked into dissipation.

Complete and utter suppression.

Thorough and absolute crushing.

At this moment, Zhao Wuji was like a lone sail in a sky-reaching heat wave, unexpectedly giving birth to the same despair emotion as the Thunder Eel King just now.

Just as he was about to use a life-saving measure, the fire qi around him suddenly receded.

The turbid water backflowed, quickly filling the space that had just been evaporated.

As if instantly returning to before there was any battle.

Zhao Wuji's face was full of astonishment: "Huh?"

Xu Zhangqing withdrew the fire qi and said expressionlessly: "For the sake of past ties with the Dragon Tiger Immortal Sect, I will spare your life this time."

Zhao Wuji instantly felt a heavy burden lifted, hurriedly cupping his fists in salute: "Thank you, Senior, for showing mercy!"

Xu Zhangqing said in a deep voice: "That ship is the price you pay for your recklessness."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Zhao Wuji nodded like pounding garlic, not daring to refute at all.

Xu Zhangqing waved his hand with slight impatience: "Go on."

Just as Zhao Wuji and the Leikui Dragon Beast prepared to leave, on the other side the waves surged, and Luo Teng, who had fallen into the water, emerged, calling out anxiously: "Senior Brother, don't forget me!"

Because he was afraid of death, he had hidden in the water for a long time, not daring to show his head at all.

Until now, seeing that Senior Brother could survive, only then did he appear.

Zhao Wuji frowned slightly: "Summon your travel tool, let's go."

Luo Teng hurriedly summoned a seven-colored flying sword, then asked: "Where are we going?"

Zhao Wuji glanced back at the mysterious expert with lingering fear, recalling the battle scene just now, only feeling his scalp go numb: "Straight back to the Immortal Sect!"

Luo Teng was surprised: "Not competing anymore?"

He remembered, the reason the other party participated in this centennial-scale Thousand Sails Struggle Conference.

One of the reasons was to obtain the Water Spirit Source Crystal, thereby awakening the Water Spirit Root.

Thus using water to conduct electricity, to participate in the Wan Lan Secret Realm ten years later.

To obtain the sole Su Water Opportunity within.

Zhao Wuji rolled his eyes in annoyance: "The Shocking Thunder is gone, what else is there to compete for?"

Immediately, the two swiftly departed.

From beginning to end, Xu Zhangqing merely watched them off, with no thought of ambush.

He and Zhao Wuji were not life-and-death enemies; giving Hu Bugui a little lesson was enough.

Of course, this time taking action actually had two other reasons.

One reason was to test his own strength.

As it appears now, with all effects stacked, he can already easily crush Zhao Wuji, who is called invincible below Golden Core.

The second reason was to destroy the Shocking Thunder, making Zhao Wuji lose the qualification to compete.

This way, afterward no one can vie with him for first place.

Xu Zhangqing turned his gaze to the side, discovering the Thunder Eel King was already dead.

Its surface covered in traces of flames and lightning, its death state a bit miserable.

Its lengthy body floated on the turbid sea surface, occasionally shuddering.

Then he sensed the Yao Long Avoid Water Boat in his mind, discovering its posture was strange.

It was actually riding the damaged Shocking Thunder.

Those who know understand this is swallowing evolution.

Those who don't know would think it has some special fetish.

Seeing this, Xu Zhangqing looked toward the distant Flower Bud Boat, revealing a meaningful smile: "Spirit pet gone, cultivation disturbed.

I'd better leave this place!"

Immediately, his whole person transformed into a ball of fire light, flying off toward another direction.

Soon disappearing at the horizon's edge.

Beside the Flower Bud Boat, Chu Qiu walked out, expression solemn: "Never expected there to be an expert in seclusion cultivation here?"

Originally wanted to use this opportunity to exploit Zhao Wuji, result was nearly losing his little life.

Fortunately he survived, and Zhao Wuji didn't die either.

However, looking at the empty interior of the Flower Bud Boat, he frowned.

Just as he was incomparably worried about Xu Zhangqing in his heart, the seawater beside him surged.

With the sound of "hualala" resounding, a human head emerged.

Who?

Xu Zhangqing!

Chu Qiu was stunned: "Junior Brother Xu, why are you in the water?"

Xu Zhangqing said as a matter of course: "Because I'm afraid of dying!"

"Uh."

Chu Qiu was speechless for a moment.

While returning to the Flower Bud Boat, Xu Zhangqing asked: "Where is Zhao Wuji?"

Chu Qiu spread his hands and said playfully: "He ran away!"

Xu Zhangqing immediately said excitedly: "I just found many water demons burned to death and electrocuted in the water; we've made a fortune."

Chu Qiu pointed to the corpse of the Lightning Eel King floating on the murky water in the distance: "What are those? With this sea monster here, we can return!"

Even so, the two still stayed to clean up the battlefield.

Whether it was the corpse of the Lightning Eel King or the corpses of various water demons, especially the core parts, they were all packed away.

Half an hour later, the two drove the Flower Bud Boat back.

On the way back, they saw a familiar boat coming toward them.

Two familiar people stood on it.

The boat was Broken Moon Flowing Frost.

The people were Immortal Maiden Mu Beiyun and Long Xiyao.

Mu Beiyun rarely showed a surprised expression: "You've already finished?"

Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly: "Not bad."

Mu Beiyun asked again: "Where is Zhao Wuji?"

Xu Zhangqing and Chu Qiu looked at each other: "He... went home first because of something!"

Afterward, boats, ships, and shuttles heading to the Zhuo Liu Dai to hunt water demons appeared from time to time.

When the people on them saw the Flower Bud Boat returning, they all praised it.

"As expected of Immortal Maiden Mu Beiyun!"

"After all, a Core Disciple of one of the Three Great Immortal Sects is definitely not ordinary!"

"Looks like we can only compete for places 2 to 10!"

Some simply gave up the contest.

They followed directly behind the Flower Bud Boat and returned to Xuanxin City Port together.

After Zhao Qianyun received the news, he stood patiently waiting on a water lotus.

From far away, he saw that jade-white large flower.

"Immortal Maiden Mu Beiyun!"

"Immortal Maiden Mu Beiyun!"

"Immortal Maiden Mu Beiyun... why is it a man?"

The spectators cheered and jumped for joy, but as they shouted and saw two men disembark from the Flower Bud Boat instead of the Immortal Maiden Mu Beiyun they had hoped for, they were all speechless.

Zhao Qianyun was first stunned, then laughed helplessly: "I thought the Flower Bud Boat belonged to someone, never expecting it to be one of our own."

"Both of you, are your points sufficient?"

Xu Zhangqing didn't say much and first took out the fish he had caught.

Three Dragon Whisker Jin Carp, 60 points.

One Golden Fin Dragon Carp, 50 points.

110 points in total.

Zhao Qianyun was surprised: "It's actually a Golden Fin Dragon Carp that hasn't appeared in thirty years?"

This kind of dragon fish is too rare; even the spectators were stunned.

Xu Zhangqing asked indifferently: "Are the fishing points sufficient?"

Zhao Qianyun nodded: "Sufficient!"

Xu Zhangqing began taking out water demon corpses again.

Ten Wave-Chasing Shrimp Demons, 50 points.

One Lightning Eel King, 50 points!

100 points in total.

Looking at the huge corpse before him, Zhao Qianyun was no longer calm: "The corpse of the sea monster Lightning Eel King?"

Few can hunt a sea monster of this level, let alone two people handling it this time.

Xu Zhangqing raised his chin and asked again: "Are the points for hunting water demons and sea monsters sufficient?"

Zhao Qianyun nodded hard: "Sufficient!"

Immediately, Xu Zhangqing asked further: "Then, have we obtained first place in this Qianfan Zhengdu Conference?"

Zhao Qianyun took a deep breath and said loudly: "Congratulations to Dongting Immortal Sect's Chu Qiu and Xu Zhangqing for obtaining first place in this Qianfan Zhengdu Conference!"
