The mountain torrent rumbled towards the small city. How could the daemon qi it contained escape Li Qingshan and Ru Xin's senses? This was not just a natural disaster, but a daemon disaster. The small city was about to be swallowed by the flood in a single moment, turning into a swamp. Probably not even a tenth of the people in the city would survive.
Li Qingshan said, "Let's stop the mountain torrent first!"
Ru Xin extended her hand and beckoned. The verdant leaves shrunk to the size of doors and scattered down, forming a dam along the path of the mountain torrent.
"Do you really think you can stop me with your puny tricks?" There was a sneer in the distance. A strange catfish floated in the muddy waters with a flick of its tail. Its wide, pitch-black back seemed like a piece of land at first glance. It was a Daemon General as well. There were many daemon soldiers vaguely in the water, also driving the torrent forward.
The heavy rain was drawn into the torrent at a slanted angle. The torrent became even greater, smashing through the dam of green leaves loudly.
When the residents of the city heard the disturbance, they all emerged from their homes and gazed at this in shock. A dragon's roar grew from soft to loud. A crystalline water dragon several dozen meters long condensed in the sky and flew down, lunging towards the strange catfish at the source of the torrent.
This was the first time Li Qingshan had used techniques as a Foundation Establishment cultivator. The effects were so great that even he was surprised.
The strange catfish's colossal, pitch-black body suddenly leapt high into the air, swinging its tail and dispersing the water dragon. Instead, it used the momentum of the water to make the mountain torrent even more rapid. It surged down like a stampede of ten thousand horses.
The strange catfish possessed the geographical advantage. It did not seek to kill or injure the two of them, only destroying the city and killing them. It was no longer something a Foundation Establishment cultivator could stop.
Li Qingshan was just about to fly down and use the spirit turtle's daemon core when he suppressed the torrent. He hoped that Ru Xin would be careless and not notice anything amiss. Ru Xin instead said, "I'll stop the mountain torrent. You go kill the daemon!"
"What? How are you going to stop it? "
Before Li Qingshan had even finished asking, Ru Xin had already flown down. She saw the two mountains sandwiched between them. The torrent rolled over, and her eyes suddenly turned blue, like a tranquil lake. His hair fluttered and turned light blue. His skin was faintly translucent like water. He jumped into the torrent.
"Cut the crap!" Ru Xin rose from the water. It was composed of clear water and was several feet tall. Only its upper body was left, and it spread its arms wide to catch the torrent. The water seemed to have transformed into green threads that scattered in the rain.
Li Qingshan didn't have time to be surprised. He took a step in the void, and a powerful wave surged under his feet. He took another step. He was already a thousand feet away. The sky was filled with water rain, rippling waves of air as he fell into the mountain torrents.
Bo Canghai? Tosho Shiki
In an instant, the spiritual energy in his Dantian's Sea of Qi began to surge. It was like the rising tide of the ocean that surged ceaselessly and ceaselessly, and it carried an unstoppable imposing aura that seemed as if the entire world was the same. This was the power of the Arts of the Boundless Ocean that Li Qingshan had yet to truly cultivate. Originally, he could not use it, but now that he did, he actually felt indescribably delighted. Without any time to think, he struck out with his palm.
Bang! The turbid waves split apart, and the strange catfish Daemon General slithered away. The other daemons and prawn monsters that came with it were not as lucky. They were still sent flying despite being separated by the water, dying a violent death.
Li Qingshan dove into the torrent, and what greeted him was the huge, fanged mouth of the strange catfish, swallowing him in a single gulp. The strange catfish was stunned. It originally wanted to chew Li Qingshan to pieces, but instead, Li Qingshan took the initiative to enter its stomach. Then, it laughed sinisterly. Its digestive juices could be worn down even by metal.
Suddenly, an intense pain came from its stomach. The strange catfish seemed to have gone mad as it thrashed about in the torrent. Not only did it fail to digest Li Qingshan, but it was also turned upside down by Li Qingshan. Suddenly, a figure broke out of its body. It was Li Qingshan, and in his hand was a demon core that emitted a faint blue light. It was trembling, but it couldn't break free.
The strange catfish knew that it had unfortunately met a strong opponent, and shouted, "I'm going to die with you." It was about to activate the demon core to self-destruct, but suddenly, a pitch black giant palm pressed down on its head, grabbing it. With a squeeze, it was crushed into a pulp, and randomly placed into its hundred treasures pouch.
Li Qingshan's eyes turned scarlet. He glanced around and silenced the remaining underlings one by one, obtaining seven or eight daemon cores and over a dozen corpses. He stowed them all into his hundred treasures pouch.
Downstream, Ru Xin immediately felt the pressure on her lessen significantly. However, even without the control of daemon qi, the mountain torrent had already taken shape. Coupled with the support of the rain, the mountain torrent turned into a wall of water several meters tall in the blink of an eye. It was a daunting sight.
Ru Xin found it extremely difficult to use this innate ability, gradually struggling to maintain it. The "Water Ru Xin" she had conjured showed signs of collapsing as well.
In the mountain city, the common people had never seen something like this before. All of them became ashen in shock. They all knelt on the ground, praying piously and crying for help. All of them seemed to be right by her ears. She smiled bitterly to herself. Even if you beg me, it's useless. I'm not really an immortal, buddha, or demon at the end of the day. I'm just a puny cultivator who has just grasped the basics of the path of cultivation.
She never thought that she would still be powerless after exposing herself before him.
The Spirit Turtle Suppresses the Seas!
Li Qingshan descended from above and landed in front of the torrent. The raging torrent immediately calmed down significantly, but the danger had not been resolved. The wall of water continued to rise. If this continued, it would be like a tsunami that could directly flatten the mountain city.
At that moment, Li Qingshan forgot about everything. He stared straight at Ru Xin. Only now did he finally see Ru Xin's true appearance. Not only had her eyes changed color, but a pair of blue fins grew from behind her ears as well as an even larger pair of fins on her back. They were transparent like silk and fluttered like wings. From her waist down, the pair of fins turned into an azure fishtail, swaying gracefully in the water.
"Have you seen enough? If you have, then hurry up and help me!" Ru Xin said in annoyance.
"Sure. Move aside!" Li Qingshan smiled like a child who had peeped into an adult's private matters, which made Ru Xin feel like he was extremely annoying. She said nothing more and moved aside.
The wall of water immediately collapsed. When the people in the city saw this, they all cried out. They all collapsed onto the ground as their legs became as weak as noodles. All they saw was the gushing water spiralling into the sky.
Li Qingshan's right hand constantly spun, using the Vortex Form. The spirit turtle's daemon core in his body shone brightly and flew high into the air.
At this moment, the strange catfish had been slain. The dark clouds dispersed, and the sun emerged. Sunlight shone on the river of water that stretched across the sky. Everyone was dumbfounded.
Li Qingshan swung his hand forcefully like he was splashing ink. In that moment, the river of water poured down and shattered in the air, turning into a true downpour. All the people in the city were drenched.
As the mist surged, a streak of light shot across the city. Cheers rang out.
Li Qingshan returned to the area between the two mountains. Ru Xin had already returned to her original appearance. She was so relaxed that it was like she was purposefully pretending nothing had happened.
However, Li Qingshan could not hold back his curiosity. He asked, "You're a merfolk?"
Ru Xin answered with a question instead. "Even if mortals primarily cultivate the water element, do they possess such control over water?"
