Chapter 038 Escape
Clang!
With a piercing sound, the Whale-Swallowing Blade was knocked away. The immense force of the impact sent the Whale-Swallowing, bulky body tumbling several meters like a rolling watermelon.
The shrimp over there wanted to help, but was temporarily forced back by Li Yue's lightning seal.
"Behold the halberd!"
Li Yue raised the Zhilangding stone, intending to press his advantage, when a loud shout erupted and the Fangtian halberd came crashing down on his head.
Without thinking twice, Li Yue hurriedly used the anchor to block the attack.
With another clang, a tremendous force struck, instantly making Li Yue's arm and half of his body go numb, and his knees buckled, causing him to kneel on one knee on the mudflat.
The halberd continued to press down, but Li Yue gritted his teeth, suddenly pulled to the side, and rolled over, finally escaping from under the halberd.
He stood up again and looked at the little yellow dragon holding the halberd, his brows furrowing.
That halberd weighs 3,600 jin!
Although the Zhilang Anchor also weighs three thousand catties, as his personal magical artifact, it is no different from an ordinary iron anchor to him. In other words, while others can catch an anchor weighing three thousand catties, he himself does not have that strength.
But Xiao Huanglong's halberd weighs a solid three thousand jin.
"Is it just relying on the power of the treasure?"
Seeing Li Yue's predicament, Xiao Huanglong sneered and brandished his Fangtian Halberd with one hand in a show of defiance.
Among water-based creatures, the dragon possesses the greatest power; among land-based creatures, the elephant is the most powerful.
Little Yellow Dragon is a purebred dragon son, and he can wield this weapon weighing over three thousand catties with his own strength.
"Take another bite!"
While he was pondering, Little Yellow Dragon lunged forward again and slashed down with his halberd once more.
Li Yue's eyes widened as he forcefully swung the Zhilangding to meet the attack.
Clang!
Another loud bang pierced the eardrums, but this time Li Yue was not driven back.
Although Li Yue didn't have the strength of three thousand jin, he was able to offset the little yellow dragon's slashes by relying on the weight of the wave-stopping anchor.
Of course, if you simply raise the anchor to block as before, without using the weight of the anchor, it won't work.
"You'll get an anchor from me too!"
Having figured this out, Li Yue roared and smashed the Wave-Stopping Anchor at the Little Yellow Dragon.
"snort."
Facing the menacing Li Yue, Xiao Huanglong wore a contemptuous expression, easily deflecting the Zhilangding with his halberd in one hand, and then thrusting it forward.
Li Yue dared not take the blow head-on, so he could only dodge and seize the opportunity to smash the little yellow dragon again.
If he didn't want to be at a disadvantage in terms of strength, he could only resort to offense as a form of defense.
They fought back and forth like this for more than ten rounds.
During this time, he was slashed four or five times by the Little Yellow Dragon's thorns. Fortunately, the Golden Lotus Seed was refined into his scales, making him impervious to blades and spears. Otherwise, Li Yue would probably have already met his end.
It must be said that Little Yellow Dragon, as the son of the Jing River Dragon, is far superior to wild demons like Li Yue. Not only does he possess divine strength, but he has also diligently practiced martial arts since childhood, far surpassing the unorthodox methods of Li Yue.
"Take another bite!"
After exchanging blows for more than ten rounds, Little Yellow Dragon realized that Li Yue's armor scales were difficult to break.
Seizing the opportunity, he unleashed another powerful strike.
Li Yue couldn't dodge, nor did he have time to swing the anchor to meet the attack head-on. With no other option, he could only raise the anchor to block.
With a clang, the 3,600-pound halberd, combined with the little yellow dragon's divine strength, probably weighed seven or eight thousand pounds.
Li Yue couldn't take it anymore. The mudflats under his feet were soft, and with a splash, he was knocked into the water.
"No way..."
Li Yue frowned as his body plummeted rapidly in the water.
He was no match for a single Little Yellow Dragon. How could he possibly seize the Golden Lotus Seed of Shrimp and Whale Swallow? It was impossible to succeed. He might as well take this opportunity to escape using water magic.
But for a moment, he really couldn't bear to part with the golden lotus seeds.
Whoosh!
Just as Li Yue was hesitating, a string of bubbles rose up, and a slender black shadow suddenly emerged from underwater.
It opened its mouth, revealing fine, sharp teeth, and lunged to bite.
Li Yue was still falling and had no way to dodge.
"Ouch! That hurts!"
A piercing pain shot through my lower back, and bright red blood mingled with the river water as it flowed out.
Li Yue's eyes widened instantly; the monster had actually bitten through the scales he had refined with the Golden Lotus Seed.
"...How come it's you!"
Looking down again, he could see the strange appearance clearly: a ten-foot-long yellow eel, which was none other than the Crimson Blood King.
Li Yue was completely astonished; how could the Crimson Blood King be here?
"Well done."
At this time, Little Yellow Dragon, along with Shrimp and Whale Swallow, had already entered the water.
He glanced at the Crimson Blood King, who was biting Li Yue, and nodded slightly in approval.
Li Yue's eyes widened again. Was Little Yellow Dragon colluding with Crimson Blood King?
They issued an official document mobilizing troops to annihilate the Crimson Blood King, but it turned out they had already secretly colluded together.
Li Yue immediately realized that this was all a scheme by Little Yellow Dragon, designed to lure him into a trap. Thinking of this, Li Yue felt a chill run down his spine.
I suddenly remembered the old turtle's words: "You can't trust the words of gods."
"Ugh~!"
The pain in his waist returned, and the Crimson Blood King bit down even deeper with his sharp teeth.
Li Yue's scales were refined using lotus seeds. In addition to the original silver lotus seeds, the Crimson Blood King also obtained the Copper Lotus Seeds from the Black Snake King. The Copper Lotus Seeds were used to temper his body, so his sharp teeth were probably refined in the same way.
Otherwise, how could they have managed to bite through Li Yue's scales?
It would be one thing to be bitten, but the Crimson Blood King cultivates blood-sucking magic and is currently consuming Li Yue's essence blood.
"Get out of here!"
With a roar, Li Yue hurled the Wave-Stopping Stone at the Crimson Blood King.
Knowing how powerful Zhilangding was, the Crimson Blood King quickly released his grip and dodged away.
Then, he transformed into a tall, slender man dressed in a red robe, staring at Li Yue with a sinister gaze and gently licking his lips.
Holding the Zhilangding Stone in one hand and covering his wound with the other, Li Yue looked at Xiao Huanglong and the others around him, and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart.
Not a match, absolutely not a match.
We have to escape right now!
Otherwise, your life will be in danger!
"escape!"
Forcibly suppressing the ever-increasing greed of the golden lotus seed, Li Yue let out a soft shout and used the Water Escape Technique.
It merged with the water and fled to the east bank.
"Trying to escape using water magic? Where do you think you're going!"
Little Yellow Dragon saw through it all and with a soft shout, summoned a treasure.
Li Yue had only escaped for about a hundred meters when he ran headlong into a net, revealing himself. Now, he was trapped in a green net.
"Gotcha!"
"The River God has impressive skills!"
Upon capturing Li Yue, Shrimp and Whale immediately showered him with flattery.
Little Yellow Dragon raised its head slightly, looked at Li Yue struggling in the net, and smiled smugly.
"This net is woven from thousand-year-old river weeds. It cannot be torn or scratched by knives or axes. Let alone a little demon in the transformation stage, even those great demons with a thousand years of cultivation would not be able to break free."
A thousand-year-old river weed?
Upon hearing this, Li Yue's heart stirred, and he pointed.
A burst of golden light flashed, and the originally green net instantly transformed into a shimmering golden net.
Although he could not break the thousand-year-old Jiangli, he could easily tear through the golden net. He immediately broke through the net and used water escape to escape again.
"...My secret weapon!"
Staring at the torn net, Little Yellow Dragon was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and let out a mournful cry.
"Sir! He's escaped!"
Standing to the side, Tunjing pointed at Li Yue, who had escaped into the water, and hurriedly said something.
Little Yellow Dragon was already filled with grief and indignation, and kicked the guy who had brought up the most sensitive topic hard.
"River God, don't worry, he can't escape."
The Crimson Blood King came over and picked up a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth with his index finger.
A thin line of blood gathered and pointed directly eastward, like a path.
"Chase!"
Little Yellow Dragon's face darkened, and with a roar, he chased after the blood trail.
