Chapter 42: The Reincarnation Divine Skill!
swarms of black fish danced and churned like locusts!
Zhang Ping's eyes were sharp; he was preparing to seize the opportunity to jump into the water and escape.
"Brother Zhang!"
A familiar shout suddenly pierced through the chaos!
Zhang Ping swung his knife and cleaved a black fish that lunged at him. Hearing the sound, he turned around in surprise and saw Quan Hongyan at the bow of the boat!
Only then did he notice that the aftershocks of the fierce battle between Chongxin and the Unicorn Black Fish were becoming increasingly violent, creating towering waves that were pushing the ship at the front backward! At this moment, the two ships were not far apart, and a martial artist in the Flesh Refining Realm could cross the river with a single leap!
Quan Hongyan was standing on the edge of the boat, anxiously calling out to him, looking as if she was about to risk jumping over!
Zhang Ping's heart tightened, and he hurriedly shouted, "Sister Quan Hong! Don't come any closer!"
He had planned to jump into the river alone to escape if the situation turned bad.
His water magic was still immature, and he was utterly incapable of carrying anyone. At this moment, the black fish around them were gathering in increasing numbers. If Quan Hongyan were to break away from the martial arts group and rashly come over, he could easily escape, leaving her alone with no chance of survival!
Not only Quan Hongyan, but Qin Hu, who was struggling to fend off the surrounding black fish, also discovered Zhang Ping, who was trapped alone on the boat.
"Hold on, Brother Zhang! We're coming to save you!" Qin Hu roared as he cleaved open a black fish.
Seeing that the two were about to rush to his rescue despite the danger, Zhang Ping felt a mix of emotions, both embarrassed and touched.
In this critical moment, there's no time to think! He suddenly circulated his qi and blood, no longer concealing his cultivation level. The power of the late-stage Skin Tempering stage erupted, and he slammed his feet against the ship's deck!
The large ship beneath his feet was propelled backward by his incredible strength!
The distance between the two boats widened again in an instant, and Quan Hongyan and Qin Hu's attempt to rescue them failed!
The two stared in astonishment at the large ship that had suddenly widened the distance and at the strength Zhang Ping had displayed, and stood frozen in place for a moment.
"roar--!!!"
A deafening, terrifying roar, seemingly from the abyss, suddenly erupted from the bottom of the river!
Everyone was horrified!
The roar did not come from the unicorn black fish that was fighting with the believer, but from the deeper, darker waters below!
Chongxin's expression changed drastically, and his previously seemingly effortless movements instantly became violent and fierce!
At the same time, a searing, tearing heat suddenly surged through Zhang Ping's forehead! The owl's extremely low probability of sensing danger was triggered at this moment!
"Danger is underwater!!" Zhang Ping shouted hoarsely towards Quan Hongyan and the other person.
Before the words were even finished!
A huge, pale white horn cleaved through the murky river water, piercing the surface with the force of a thunderbolt!
Like a red-hot iron cutting butter, it silently yet irresistibly cleaved the large ship containing the martial arts disciples in two!
"Boom—crash!"
The massive ship, which had been split open, did not immediately disintegrate. Instead, an invisible, terrifying shockwave suddenly spread out from the unicorn's center!
Wherever the ripples reached, it was as if they had been struck by an invisible giant hammer, with a continuous cracking and shattering sound!
The two sections of the ship disintegrated and shattered inch by inch under the force of the shock! The martial arts disciples on the ship were struck as if by a heavy blow, each of them spitting out blood, their internal organs instantly injured by the shock!
Even though Zhang Ping was a little further away, his internal organs churned, and his blood and qi almost reversed course! He forcibly suppressed the discomfort, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes!
hum!
Strange, pale black lines instantly covered his exposed skin! A power that was not of human origin surged forth!
With a stomp of his foot, he darted out like a ghost! He precisely stepped on the back of the black fish that was flapping and leaping in the air, and in a few leaps, he crossed the water and landed on the broken and sinking hull of the ship!
"Brother Qin! Sister Quan Hong! Come with me!"
Without giving the two any time to react, Zhang Ping grabbed them by the shoulders and quickly retreated!
Almost the instant they left, the wrecked ship, carrying countless desperate figures, sank into the dark river with a crash!
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
All around, swarms of black fish, like wolves smelling blood, lunged and tore at the three of them! Zhang Ping's eyes flashed with ferocity, and the muscles in his left arm suddenly bulged and twisted, instantly expanding to a terrifying two meters in length, as he grabbed Qin Hu and Quan Hongyan tightly under his arm!
"Get out of here!"
The demonic sword was drawn from his right arm! A flash of light, like a bolt of lightning, swept out, slicing the black fish that lunged at him into pieces! Blood and flesh flew everywhere! A stench filled the air!
"Zhang Di?! You..." Quan Hongyan and Qin Hu, who had just barely recovered from the shock, were filled with disbelief and shock when they felt the inhuman power erupting from Zhang Ping and the grotesquely swollen left arm!
Zhang Ping had no time to explain. If the two hadn't risked their lives to save him, he would never have revealed his power to help them escape! Gratitude and revenge were clear-cut, nothing more!
The three of them landed back on the deck where Zhang Ping had been before, with great difficulty.
Looking back, the river surface has become a living hell!
Chongxin struggled to hold on, caught between two ferocious, one-horned giant fish. His body was riddled with deep, bone-revealing wounds, and blood stained his robes. The martial arts school disciples had either perished on the spot or fallen into the water and been instantly devoured by the black fish; almost no one was left alive on the surface!
Seeing that Quan Hongyan and Qin Hu had recovered, Zhang Ping knew it was time to part ways. He was unable to escape with them.
"Brother Qin! Sister Quan Hong! Live on! See you at the martial arts school!"
After uttering these farewell words, Zhang Ping did not hesitate and leaped into the icy, bone-chilling river! His figure was instantly swallowed by the turbid waves.
Quan Hongyan and Qin Hu exchanged a glance, both seeing deep doubt and lingering fear in each other's eyes.
"This guy... he's been hiding so well..." Quan Hongyan murmured, recalling the care she had shown him before, her feelings were complicated and hard to describe.
"Survive first!" Qin Hu roared, suppressing the shock in his heart. "What about Master..."
Chongxin was in increasing danger under the siege of two beasts at the Refining Realm, but that level of combat was far beyond their ability to intervene.
"Retreat! Master's cultivation is unfathomable; these two beasts can't hold him back! We'll only be a burden if we stay!" Qin Hu said through gritted teeth.
"Go!" The two exchanged glances, found a spot where the blackfish were less numerous, mustered their remaining strength, and broke through the encirclement together.
……
underwater.
Zhang Ping inwardly groaned.
"Damn it! How come there are these things everywhere!"
Using the fox's ability to conceal himself, he cautiously swam underwater, but the dense, layered schools of fish before him, like a black curtain, almost suffocated him! The sheer number was terrifying! The fierce battle on the surface stirred up turbulent currents, making it difficult to discern directions, so he could only grit his teeth and dive downstream with the surging river current.
"Never mind! Let's just get out of here first!"
He no longer hesitated, fully unleashing the power of the Water God, his figure shooting underwater like an arrow released from a bow! At the same time, an invisible, gentle force quietly parted the congested school of fish in front of him, clearing a narrow passage for him.
He had never heard of these strange black fish before.
"Soon!"
Sensing that the density of the blackfish ahead was finally beginning to decrease, Zhang Ping felt a slight sense of relief. He quietly surfaced for air and looked back at the battlefield that had become the eye of the storm.
A massive, waterspout-like column of water raged wildly across the river; any ordinary martial artist who fell into it would surely die!
At the heart of those countless raging waterspouts, a figure still stood stubbornly!
Chongxin lightly touched the back of the leaping blackfish with his toes for leverage, his body swaying like a willow catkin in the wind, and he managed not to fall into the water.
"I hope the museum master can survive..." Zhang Ping sighed inwardly.
This trip resulted in the loss of most of the martial arts school's disciples, undoubtedly a devastating blow to Sitong Martial Arts School. However, as long as the spirit of faith remains, the foundation is not entirely destroyed.
Just as he was about to turn around and escape the danger completely, a sudden change occurred!
Suddenly, a blindingly bright white light burst forth from Chongxin's body, which was being besieged!
A fierce shout, filled with boundless anger and determination, resounded throughout the land!
"Wheel! Spin! Divine! Skill!"
"Holy crap! An indiscriminate ultimate move?!" Zhang Ping's pupils constricted!
The white light was like a small sun rising from the heart of the river, instantly radiating in all directions!
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
A series of muffled explosions, as dense as raindrops, erupted! Within sight, all the black fish that were flying and thrashing about, regardless of size, silently burst into clouds of scarlet blood mist!
Even the two incredibly fierce unicorn fish were slammed into the water by this terrifying force, letting out painful screams!
This power... transcends the realm of the Refining Realm!
Even from a great distance, Zhang Ping felt a terrifying and oppressive aura wash over him! Without the slightest hesitation, he plunged headfirst into the water, unleashing the full power of the Water God to propel himself away from this deadly aquatic area like a cannonball!
