Chapter 55 Intercepting and Killing the Great Flood Dragon
"Your shell is quite sturdy," Jiang Qi finally spoke, his voice cold and hoarse, transmitted through his qi and blood. "Why don't you remove this thing and take three of my strikes?"
If you don't die, I'll leave you with a whole corpse, and next year on this day, I'll celebrate with wine.
"You're courting death!" the River-Turning Dragon roared in fury. "I'd like to see how many more strikes your Blood Burning Secret Technique can deliver!"
Before he finished speaking, he took the initiative to attack!
The nine-headed blade in his hand, carrying a murderous aura like a storm of blood, stirred up the undercurrents of the river and slashed at the small boat in half.
The blade moved with ferocious force, seemingly intent on cleaving the man and the boat in two!
A fighting spirit surged in Jiang Qi's eyes. He pushed off with his feet, and the small boat swerved several feet to the side like an arrow, avoiding the blade.
At the same time, his internal energy circulated according to the unique route of the [Shadow Chaser], and the cold blade in his hand trembled slightly.
In the next instant, his figure blurred, and the man and the knife almost became a thin, dark line tearing through the night.
Professional Skill - [Shadow Slash]!
Fan Jiangjiao felt a blur before his eyes, and a blade of light more terrifying than any of his previous strikes suddenly appeared half a zhang in front of him, ignoring spatial distance.
"Not good!" Fan Jiangjiao's heart stopped, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and his left hand reached into his robes with lightning speed, pulling out a jet-black iron ball and throwing it toward Jiang Qi's face.
At the same time, he leaned back desperately.
"Die!!"
The black iron ball moved with incredible speed, its surface adorned with twisted patterns, and it exuded a terrifying aura of destruction the moment it appeared.
Bang! !
The black iron ball exploded on the water's surface with a loud bang.
The blinding flames and violent shockwaves instantly engulfed Jiang Qi's figure, and countless tiny, poisoned steel needles shot out in all directions!
The river water was blasted into waves several meters high.
"Haha!" Fan Jiangjiao was overjoyed, thinking he had succeeded in his attack.
But the next moment.
Within those waves, a cold light suddenly flashed, causing the eyes of the River-Turning Dragon to widen rapidly.
"No!"
Pfft—!
The cold light pierced through flesh and blood, but the dull thud of bone being severed was masked by the sound of an explosion.
The smug grin on Fan Jiangjiao's face froze. His wide eyes were filled with astonishment, confusion, resentment, and fear...
As the blade flashed, a huge head shot into the sky, and the headless corpse sprayed out a rain of blood.
Behind the curtain of waves, Jiang Qi's figure slowly appeared.
His face was somewhat pale, and he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
These ruthless bandits are not only incredibly strong, but they also possess unpredictable methods of self-preservation, making them extremely difficult to deal with.
If he hadn't been wearing black armor, he would have been seriously injured when the iron ball exploded.
After catching his breath, he took two steps on the waves and took out several items from the body of the River-Turning Dragon.
No need to check.
"You thief! Stay here!"
A furious roar, like thunder, resounded from mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, a sharp spear light, carrying boundless rage, descended from the sky and struck Jiang Qi directly.
Ke Jinglan, the deputy commander of the bandit army, finally caught up with the sound of the explosion.
Seeing that the notorious bandit he had been relentlessly pursuing had been killed by a masked man, he was filled with shock and rage. He fired this shot in anger, making it three times more powerful than usual.
Jiang Qi's eyes turned cold. He lightly tapped his feet, and the small boat drifted rapidly backward. At the same time, he slashed upward with his cold iron sword.
clang!
Swords and spears clashed, producing a deafening roar and sending sparks flying.
Ke Jinglan's angry spear thrust was incredibly powerful. Although part of it was deflected, the remaining force still made Jiang Qi's arm go numb, and the small boat drifted sideways for several feet on the river.
Jiang Qi ignored it, glanced at Ke Jinglan who was furious, tapped the stern with his toes, and soared into the air, shooting towards the dense reeds on the riverbank.
At the same time, he slapped the small boat with his backhand, and the boat crashed into Ke Jinglan like an arrow.
"Where do you think you're going!"
Ke Jinglan was not about to give up. He had suffered repeated setbacks tonight, and his prey had been snatched away. If he were to let this masked man leave as well, how could he, Ke Jinglan, save face?
He moved with lightning speed, his spear flashing out once more, transforming into a dense net of spears that blocked the masked man's path. The spear's power was even more fierce and overwhelming than before, carving a furrow into the river's surface, clearly showing his genuine rage.
A fierce glint flashed in Jiang Qi's eyes. He flipped his hand, took out a Qi-restoring pill, and swallowed it. The medicinal power dissipated, and his Qi and blood were instantly restored by more than half.
Professional Skill - [Shadow Slash]!
The blade flashed upwards, instantly creating a giant wave three zhang high.
Ke Jinglan had not expected that his opponent would still dare to use such a move after avoiding his sharp edge, and his spear thrust faltered slightly.
It was in that fleeting moment!
Jiang Qi's figure flashed and instantly disappeared into the dense reeds. With a few leaps, he vanished into the vast night and mist.
"Get out here!" Ke Jinglan chased to the shore, his body soaked, his face ashen, and he was furious.
He had fought countless battles, capturing criminals and eliminating evil, but had he ever suffered such a great loss?
The prey was stolen, and the perpetrator didn't even get a good look at them or identify themselves!
What a shame!
However, no matter how furiously he roared and how fiercely he fired his gun, tearing large swathes of reeds to shreds, he still could not find the masked man in black.
Only the night wind blowing across the river, carrying the mournful sound of the water, and the gradually subsiding shouts and firelight from the distant water fortress, reflected his ashen face and the resentment on his face.
......
Waterworks.
A dark shadow swept past in the moonlight. Jiang Qi slipped into the house, closed the door, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected of the deputy commander of the bandit army, Ke Jinglan, despite having only nine strands of Qi and blood, possessed strength comparable to ten strands. His spear technique was sharp, and he had rich combat experience.
If it weren't for the darkness, the mist, and the complex terrain of Black Fish Bay, he might not have been able to easily shake off this person.
After catching his breath, a look of joy flashed across Jiang Qi's face again.
Tonight's battle was thrilling but ultimately safe, and the results were astonishing.
With a wave of his hand, several items appeared on the table.
The first thing that catches the eye is five silver notes and one gold note!
Five silver notes, each with a face value of one hundred taels, totaling five hundred taels.
And that gold note was worth one thousand taels!
In other words, without even looking at anything else, he had already amassed 1,500 taels!
Adding to the three silver notes he obtained from Yan Beifeng and the people intercepted by the Yihong Group, he now has more than 1,800 taels of silver on him!
One thousand eight hundred taels! In today's world, that's close to two million in my previous life!
It can be said that as long as they can sell it, money and cultivation supplements will no longer be a problem for a long time to come.
Suppressing his excitement, he looked at the next item.
This is a slightly old booklet with a few powerful characters on the cover: "The Journey of the Dragon".
Jiang Qi flipped through a few pages, his eyes gradually gleaming.
This is a martial art specializing in underwater combat, which records a unique breath-holding technique that can greatly extend the time spent underwater.
There are also special techniques for generating power in the water, key points for body movement, and even several sharp underwater sword techniques.
"If I can learn this skill, it will not only enhance my underwater combat capabilities, but it will also be of great benefit to my future exploration of Suolong Well," Jiang Qi thought to himself.
After carefully putting away "The Dragon's Journey," he turned his gaze to the next item, a jet-black iron bead.
Upon seeing this item, Jiang Qi's eyes narrowed slightly.
In the final battle against the River-Turning Dragon, this was the object that the opponent threw in desperation.
The terrifying explosive force instantly created waves of water several meters high, mixed with poisoned steel needles. If he hadn't been protected by the black armor he obtained from Yan Beifeng and the displacement brought by [Shadow Slash] to avoid the core impact, he would have suffered far more than just minor injuries.
