#493 - Three Thousand Weak Waters
Relying on Wu Changming to re-establish a connection with Zhang Chen was the best option for everyone. However, the Great Virtuous Teacher had been somewhat unfair in his treatment of Wu Changming. After all, the northern lands were the foundation Wu Changming had built, yet the Great Virtuous Teacher had forcibly assigned them to Gu Mingyue, allowing Gu Mingyue to reap the rewards. It was likely that Wu Changming was already filled with resentment. They still needed to figure out how to dispel the grievances in Wu Changming's heart and bring him back into the fold.
If they could control the Tiger Strength Great Immortal, the demon race would undoubtedly become the Yellow Heaven Dao's back garden in the future, and the Yellow Heaven Dao would become the number one religion in the world.
As time passed, the water's surface rippled in the deep of night, and powerful demonic energy emanated from the water. Countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals emerged from the water in formation.
The shrimp soldiers were monsters the size of five or six-year-old children, evolved into human form but with the heads of lobsters.
There were also crab generals as large as millstones, wielding steel forks that gleamed with cold light.
And various water snakes tens of meters long and as thick as water tanks, and turtles as large as small hills.
"My demon race's navy has arrived! This navy was transferred from the East Sea. For my demon race, the strongest force is the navy. After all, the four seas of the southeast, northwest have nurtured countless water demons, all of whom have been brought under my demon race's control. If it weren't for the great flood in the north this time, with the Yellow River and Luo River swelling and connecting to the North Sea, it would have been really difficult to dispatch this army of millions of the North Sea navy," the Tiger Strength Great Immortal said, sitting in the cabin, looking at the demonic energy emanating from the water, turning his head to Pingbian Wang and saying, "Your Highness, it's time for us to take action."
Upon hearing this, Pingbian Wang said to Mr. Wu Liu beside him, "Send the signal flags, sound the war drums, and tell the troops to press forward, making sure to swallow the Surveillance Division in one wave, giving them no chance to struggle or counterattack."
The sound of the drums was like thunder, breaking the silence of the night. Zhang Chen heard the sound of the drums and walked to the bow of the ship, where he saw Xie Xuan and Xie Lingyun already standing there, gazing into the distance.
At this moment, both of them had serious expressions, wearing iron armor and standing ready.
"Pingbian Wang has launched a general offensive?" Zhang Chen walked to the two of them and asked.
Xie Lingyun took a breath of cold air and said, "I feel a powerful demonic aura. The demon race's navy has arrived." Then she turned to look at Zhang Chen, "How confident are you in dealing with them?"
"Just watch my methods." Seeing Xie Lingyun's tense expression, Zhang Chen comforted her, "Sister, don't worry. As long as you can protect my safety, even if the enemy has an army of billions, they will be buried here today."
Saying this, Zhang Chen's face was full of compassion, "But I don't know how much more killing will be committed. Pingbian Wang really deserves to die!"
"You can sink Pingbian Wang's large ship, but those water demons are not afraid of being drowned. How will you deal with them?" Xie Lingyun asked.
Zhang Chen smiled upon hearing this. Weak water wouldn't care whether you were a water demon or not. Even if aquatic creatures fell into it, they would still drown.
Zhang Chen looked at the river below, and the water control technique activated in his mind. All the water flow within a four-kilometer radius was now under Zhang Chen's control.
With just a thought in Zhang Chen's mind, the nature of the water flow under his feet changed, turning into the legendary drowning water. Except for the Surveillance Division's large ship, all areas turned into weak water zones.
Some sea race demon soldiers heard the sound of the war drums and sang bravely underwater, rushing directly towards the Surveillance Division's large ship, wanting to make the first contribution.
Here was the water, the territory of the sea race. The sea race had never lost in underwater battles.
The water flow within a four-kilometer radius was by no means a small area. If ordinary people had no concept of four kilometers of water flow, they could think of West Lake. A diameter of four kilometers would be at least one-third larger than West Lake.
As the sea demons rushed into the weak water zone like carps crossing the river, all the sea demons immediately realized that something was wrong. They had actually lost the ability to swim in the water, their bodies had lost control over the water flow, and they couldn't even breathe in the water.
The first of the aquatic army to encounter misfortune reacted and wanted to open their mouths to warn, but where did they have the strength to open their mouths? Once submerged in the weak water, even sea race creatures were like humans drowning, the water flowing into their mouths, taking away their chance to speak.
And the sea race army behind them charged forward one after another, pushing the army in front of them to roll further in the weak water, causing even more of the sea race army to be passively trapped, unable to struggle in the weak water, becoming lost souls.
At this time, Pingbian Wang sounded the war drums, and the warships collided with the Surveillance Division's large ship in a mighty manner. Xie Xuan and Xie Lingyun stared intently at Zhang Chen, and saw Zhang Chen standing on the bow of the ship, his coarse linen clothes unstained by dust, his face calm, like a pool of still water without any ripples, not putting the countless troops opposite him in his eyes at all.
Xie Xuan and Xie Lingyun felt a little relieved. When the Pingbian Wang Mansion's navy swam to the weak water boundary, in Xie Xuan and Xie Lingyun's shocked eyes, the navy's large ship actually sank to the bottom of the water like a stone, without any warning. Countless human soldiers couldn't even react, and didn't even know what had happened, already sinking into the weak water and losing their lives.
As one large ship after another sank inexplicably, a hint of horror appeared in Xie Lingyun and Xie Xuan's eyes on the ship: "What kind of method is this? Isn't it too incredible?"
The father and daughter looked at each other, and Xie Lingyun opened her mouth and said, "Little brother, what is this method of yours? Why do the large ships of the Pingbian Wang Mansion sink inexplicably like stones?"
"I have an ability that can cause all the water flow within my control to lose buoyancy. All creatures that fall into the water will drown," Zhang Chen didn't hide it.
Xie Xuan said upon hearing this, "What a terrifying ability! If you have such abilities, wouldn't you be the overlord of the water in the future, and all the rivers and Luo River in the world would be under your control?"
"It's not without its shortcomings. If there is a great cultivator who can destroy the heavens and the earth and tear the earth apart, introducing the water flow into the depths of the earth, I can only be chased and killed. The reason why I can use this method now is purely because I have the protection of the imperial dragon energy, causing the great cultivator opposite to be fearful and not dare to easily take action to break the wonderful method," Zhang Chen explained. He was still very clear-headed and self-aware. If his method met a great cultivator, the other party could tear the earth apart and break it with a casual move.
"If you are willing to return to the capital with me, I am willing to recommend you to the Emperor as the Grand General of the Navy, becoming the main general of the navy of my Great Victory Dynasty. If you are matched with the navy of the Great Victory Dynasty, which navy in the world can compete with my Great Victory in the future?" Xie Xuan said with burning eyes.
Zhang Chen turned his head and glanced at Xie Xuan. This guy was really loyal, his heart was all on the imperial court.
"I don't want to have too much involvement with the imperial court, and I don't want to be an official either. I appreciate Commander Xie's kindness," Zhang Chen replied. This was Xie Xuan's kindness, and even if he was unwilling in his heart, he couldn't not appreciate it.
"You just haven't tasted the benefits of power," Xie Xuan said unhurriedly.
Xie Lingyun chimed in for Zhang Chen, "Although there are benefits to relying on the imperial court, it is also a layer of shackles. Once you fall into it, it will be difficult to break free. Little brother Zhang cultivates the path of Qi Refiner, how can we vulgar people compare? I saw in the Qi Refiner classics that Qi Refiners are unrestrained, how can they bear the jurisdiction of the law? You should stop mentioning such things, Father, and give up this idea early."
Xie Xuan said unhappily, "Isn't this also for Brother Zhang's good? If Brother Zhang gains power, wanting to regain the power of the Zhang family in the future would be as easy as lifting a finger. Those are all things left by his father, why should he give them up? Moreover, the Pingbian Wang Mansion's assassination may not have the connivance and acquiescence of the Zhang family in the capital, otherwise, where would Pingbian Wang have the guts to be so bold as to attack the direct line of the Zhang family…"
Saying this, Xie Xuan seemed to realize his slip of the tongue, and quickly closed his mouth and stopped speaking. Zhang Chen's eyes flashed, and he turned his head to look at Xie Xuan, his eyes filled with inexplicable colors.
"I just said this casually, there is no evidence, just listen to it as a joke, don't take it seriously," Xie Xuan noticed Zhang Chen's burning gaze and explained, but this explanation was somewhat far-fetched.
Zhang Chen didn't speak, just stared straight at Xie Xuan, finally watching Xie Xuan couldn't bear it, and could only helplessly say: "I'm just speculating, after all, Pingbian Wang is backed by the eight great families in the capital, and your Zhang family is also one of the eight great families, why do you think Pingbian Wang dares to take action so recklessly?"
Zhang Chen's eyes closed slightly, he retracted his sideways head, lowered his head to look at the lake water: "I know! That Book of Life and Death, the Zhang family in the capital, and the deadly enemy of my cheap old man, I will avenge him. One day I will go to the capital to seek justice for my old man."
At this moment, a terrifying aura rose in the dark night, dark clouds filled the sky, and a figure in a scarlet robe walked out of the lightning: "Commander Xie, I will kill a path for you, take the opportunity to lead the Surveillance Division's 50,000 elites to kill your way out!"
At this time, lightning filled the sky, and Duguxiu, holding the artifact Judgment, guided the lightning in the sky and earth, and killed the Pingbian Wang's navy.
"I'll meet him! I was accidentally severely injured by him last time. Now that I have gained good fortune again, I want to try the power of that twelfth-order mystery again." The Tiger Strength Great Immortal beside Pingbian Wang looked at the lightning in the sky, and the next moment, he took a step forward and took the initiative to meet the lightning.
"Dugu Qiu, I will meet you! I have found a way to restrain your Judgment. Let's compete again today." The Tiger Strength Great Immortal was surrounded by divine light, sealing his aura, preventing Zhang Chen from seeing his true face, and shouted at Dugu Qiu.
"You beast, it would be fine if you didn't cultivate well in the mountains, but you dare to come here to be presumptuous. When you were at the twelfth-order realm, I could still severely injure you. Now that your cultivation has fallen, how can you be my opponent? Since you dare to come today, then don't leave!" Dugu Qiu smiled coldly.
Hearing Dugu Qiu's words, the Tiger Strength Great Immortal smiled coldly: Do you have any idea what your abilities are? If it weren't for the Evergreen Tree Coffin providing you with lifespan, allowing you to squander it continuously, before you could severely injure me, you would have been drained by the twelfth-order mystery!
