Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

As he drew ever closer, Xu Zhangqing discovered to his surprise that the Thunder Dragon Water-Avoiding Boat did not head for the water surface at all, but instead kept sinking, deeper and deeper into the seabed.

Seeing this situation, his first thought was that the flood dragon had dived back into the water, perhaps finding a place to rest.

However, when he saw the thing before him, his whole person stared wide-eyed.

It was not any flood dragon, but a piece of crystal stone.

Overall it was an irregular twin-pointed crystal column shape.

About three zhang tall, the thickest part about two zhang in diameter.

Like two twisted bolts of purple lightning fused at the middle, the top sharp as an awl, the bottom slightly blunt with edges, the crystal faces carved full of fine, intricate patterns.

At the middle there was a ring-shaped groove, inlaid with nine fist-sized Thunder Crystals, arranged in a ring overall, the crystal stone transparent like purple glazed glass, inside hiding a wisp of flowing silver thread.

Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow: "Again this kind of intricate ancient spiritual rune."

Exactly the same as the well mouth at the bottom of the Zhenjiao Tower, obviously from the same hand.

Judging from the density of the energy, it was not placed here previously; it was very likely placed not long ago.

The energy fluctuated from time to time, as if transmitting something.

Xu Zhangqing estimated the rough orientation, then exclaimed in shock: "Xuanxin City?"

It has two ends.

If one end is aimed at Xuanxin City.

Then what is the other end?

Xu Zhangqing subconsciously looked, but unfortunately the seabed was deep; apart from water demons and sea monsters there was absolutely no discovery.

But he was certain that in that direction something absolutely existed.

However, the pressing matter right now was still to find that flood dragon, strip the Dragon Bloodline, then speak.

Therefore, after thinking it over, Xu Zhangqing dug open the silt at the bottom of the crystal stone, then took out a pile of self-destruct talismans and carefully buried them underneath.

As long as the energy here activates, it will instantly detonate the self-destruct talismans below.

No matter what the situation, leaving a back-up hand is definitely not wrong.

Afterward, piloting the Thunder Dragon Water-Avoiding Boat, he moved rapidly toward the other direction.

And this time it did not continue sinking, but instead rose bit by bit toward the water surface.

Even before drawing near, Xu Zhangqing could already sense all kinds of auras and movements, as if people ahead were in a fierce battle.

For safety considerations, he swiftly activated Special Effect 3 Thunder Light Concealment.

The concealed state was no longer the previous simple semi-transparency, but entered a lightning refraction state; the hull turned into a pale blue semi-transparent phantom, fine thunder light flowing on the surface.

First, it can achieve complete invisibility in thunderstorms or water domains; only upon contact will it stir up faint electric sparks.

Second, when moving while concealed the hull brings forth silent thunder patterns, causing the passed water domains to ripple only after three breaths, thereby disrupting tracking.

Even if someone discovered it, perceived it.

They would not think it a boat, more like a sea monster.

Watching the distance to the water surface grow ever closer, Xu Zhangqing did not rashly show himself, but instead summoned a Fire Crow, wrapped it in a water bubble, and sent it out.

When he switched to Shared Vision, even across a very far distance he could still see the battle situation.

Good fellow, led by Qin Hundred Li, more than ten Core Disciples, relying on all having reached the Golden Core Stage cultivation realm, were currently gang-beating that flood dragon.

If it were one-on-one it would be another matter, but these Immortal Sect disciples do not speak martial virtue; even the most powerful Qin Hundred Li had no thought of a duel, all joining in to attack together.

"Quick, this beast can't hold on much longer!"

"Worthy of a thousand-year Dao Xing flood dragon, actually persisting this long?"

"No matter how powerful, can it be more powerful than us?"

Qin Hundred Li, Li Lingbi, Qiu Hong and the others were excited beyond measure, each eager to have a go.

After all, the flood dragon is the monster closest to a true Dragon, containing dense Dragon Bloodline; therefore its strength is extremely powerful not to mention, its whole body is treasure, the Core Part even more priceless.

At this moment, the ink-green seawater had been stirred into a turbid vortex; in the middle that blue-grey colossus was precisely the flood dragon that had escaped only a few days ago.

At this time it had shed most of its scale armor, revealing the pale flesh beneath; on its back ridge was a wound deep enough to show bone, oozing black blood.

Although each swing of its tail stirred up waves ten zhang high, its body also grew heavier and heavier, no longer as agile as before.

Qin Hundred Li said fiercely: "Everyone, quick battle quick decision; Zhao Lie and Su Ningshuang have already brought people rushing over; we must kill this flood dragon before they arrive."

"Yes!"

Li Lingbi and the others responded one after another.

At this moment, whether Core Disciples or Formal Disciples, all were of one mind.

Qin Hundred Li had just prepared to summon his Magic Tool, namely that sunflower, but after pondering a bit gave it up, instead pointing a Sword Finger at the flood dragon and poking once.

As air and space both emitted "chi chi" sounds, a white sword beam began to pulse.

You must know, previously he always used golden Sword Qi.

White belongs to Geng Metal Sword Qi; power directly doubles.

Roar!

The flood dragon sensed the threat; its turbid vertical pupils turned toward Qin Hundred Li, its throat letting out a hoarse low roar, shaking the sea surface into trembling.

In an instant, the seawater seemed stirred by an invisible giant hand.

With the flood dragon as center, it stirred up towering waves dozens of zhang high; the momentum was so vast, like moving mountains pressing down upon Qin Hundred Li and the others.

Just then, Li Lingbi's right hand moved like a saber, aimed at the water surface, the giant waves, slashing down from above.

In an instant, everything before him split in two from the middle, exposing the flood dragon.

Qin Hundred Li seized the moment; the Geng Metal Sword Qi he had been brewing shot out violently, instantly transforming into a streak of pale white flowing light, stabbing viciously into the wound on the flood dragon's spine.

Followed by a "pu chi" sound, it pierced through in an instant, flesh, bone — all shattered to pieces.

Ang!

The flood dragon let out a pained roar, its massive body twitching uncontrollably.

Large amounts of black blood spurted from the wound, a thick, reeking stench of blood spreading through the surroundings.

Not long after, the flood dragon's massive body ceased struggling, then fell powerlessly, stirring up countless shattered waves.

Xu Zhangqing's eyes brightened: "Dead!"

To prevent exposure, he had Fire Crow leave swiftly, then piloted the Thunder Dragon Water-Avoiding Boat toward the flood dragon's tail sinking into the water.

At this time, Qin Hundred Li and the others were still in a state of excitement and joy; after all, they had just slain a flood dragon with a thousand-year Dao Xing.

Not long after, Zhao Lie of Dragon Tiger Immortal Sect, Su Ningshuang of Inviting Moon Immortal Sect arrived with their people; upon seeing the flood dragon's massive corpse, all were utterly shocked.

Zhao Lie questioned: "We agreed the Three Great Immortal Sects would act together; why did your Dongting Immortal Sect not notify us?"

Su Ningshuang chimed in: "Do you treat us as outsiders?"

Qin Hundred Li appeared quite composed: "The flood dragon is cunning; to prevent it from escaping, I could only bring people here first to intercept it."

Zhao Lie sneered: "Are you sure it was just to intercept?"

Qin Hundred Li gave a slight smile: "Indeed unexpected; this flood dragon had been sealed for many years, its strength not even half its peak period, and we directly hunted and killed it."

……

……

At the same time, Xu Zhangqing underwater had already neared the flood dragon's tail, both hands pressed against those cold dragon scales, thinking secretly: "Peeling Technique!"
