The main reason was: Fighting in the water greatly affected Fang Yuan's attack continuity.
Because he needed to swim to the surface of the river to breathe.
In this aspect, Fang Yuan could not compare to the dead Mu Ling Lan. The latter was a water path Gu Immortal, he had special water path dao marks on him that allowed him to breathe underwater.
In contrast, immortal zombies did not need to breathe. Because immortal zombies were dead people to begin with.
"Hmph!" Fang Yuan's attacks did not work, he suddenly changed his target to Zishan Makoto, who was in Ying Wu Xie's arms.
Ying Wu Xie was worried about Zishan Makoto's safety, he quickly tried to save him.
Fang Yuan suddenly changed his target, his fingers stabbing towards Ying Wu Xie's eyes.
This move was vicious and ruthless.
As long as he stabbed, Fang Yuan would be able to stab into Ying Wu Xie's head and take his life.
Ying Wu Xie's heart shook, he could not defend in time, he felt despair.
But right at this time, a change occurred.
Zishan Makoto suddenly came out, charging towards Fang Yuan's face.
Fang Yuan had the initiative, he naturally had the strength to defend. He grabbed Zishan Makoto, at the same time, he tried to clench his fist and crush Zishan Makoto to death.
But even though Zishan Makoto was a wisdom path Gu Immortal, his wisdom path dao marks were deep and unfathomable, Fang Yuan felt like he was grabbing a slippery eel, he actually managed to squeeze Zishan Makoto away.
Zishan Makoto escaped from Fang Yuan's demonic claws, his body was extremely agile, he swam in the water, his wings increased his agility, Fang Yuan's following attacks missed.
Then, Zishan Makoto flew to Ying Wu Xie's side, grabbed his collar, and swam with all his might, unexpectedly shaking off Fang Yuan in an instant.
Ying Wu Xie was both surprised and overjoyed. He looked at Zishan Makoto and saw that his eyes were clear and bright. He immediately knew that at this critical moment of life and death, Zishan Makoto had regained his senses!
"Awesome!" Ying Wu Xie's heart leaped with joy. Now that Zishan Makoto had woken up, the two of them could completely regroup and capture Ma and Zhao alive.
"Let's go!" Zishan Makoto carried Ying Wu Xie and quickly left along the river.
His body was small, but he possessed enormous power.
"Lord Zi!" Realization dawned on Ying Wu Xie at once. Indeed, very soon, Zishan Makoto once again descended into a state of insanity.
"Sigh!" Ying Wu Xie sighed deeply. He now knew why Zishan Makoto had retreated. Because he was in an unstable state.
Because of Zishan Makoto's interference, Fang Yuan could not get rid of Ying Wu Xie.
Moreover, he had fallen for a long distance.
He was very far away from Ma and Zhao.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu had an unhappy expression.
With Ying Wu Xie and Zishan Makoto's retreat, only three people were left in Reverse Flow River.
They were Ma Hong Yun, Zhao Lianyun, and Fang Yuan.
"Who is this person? He is a Northern Plains Gu Immortal, he actually foiled my plans? "Old Ancestor Xue Hu showed deep killing intent towards Fang Yuan.
Hei Loulan was already standing beside Old Ancestor Xue Hu, hearing his question, she had a thought.
Fang Yuan and Ying Wu Xie clearly had deep hatred, he had to answer now.
Hei Loulan had already become a member of Shadow Sect, at this moment, she could not expose Fang Yuan's true identity. Thankfully, Fang Yuan had another identity, she answered: "He is Liu Guan Yi."
"Liu Guan Yi? The demonic path Gu Immortal who killed Ye Lui Qun Xing and cultivated ancient sword dragon transformation? "Old Ancestor Xue Hu was stunned before reacting.
He knew about Liu Guan Yi.
Even though he was refining Gu in Snowy Mountain blessed land, he had been paying attention to Northern Plains' situation.
Because the rank eight Gu Immortals of Northern Plains were the obstacles to him refining fortune rivalling heaven Immortal Gu. As for Liu Guan Yi and Chu Du, Old Ancestor Xue Hu did not care about them.
But to think that a certain minor character who he did not care about would spoil his plans today, at this moment.
"Hahaha, luck is on our side after all." The dog tail life extending ferret laughed loudly, its laughter reverberated in the surroundings.
Bi Chen Tian and Wei Ling Yang had already gathered, Central Continent's Gu Immortals were waiting. It seemed that they chose to stay and wait for a chance.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu, Hei Loulan, and Bai Ning Bing stood together.
All three sides were together, waiting for Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lianyun to be eliminated.
"Fairy Lian Yun, Ma Hong Yun, you can come out now. Even if our Central Continent Gu Immortals sacrifice our lives, we will protect you. "Wei Ling Yang said loudly.
"Laughable! Central Continent fellows actually want to snatch people from me?! "The dog tail life extending ferret, Mao Li Qiu, glared at them, feeling very displeased.
Black Extremity was worried that Mao Li Qiu's ferocity would scare Ma Hong Yun, he quickly tried to salvage the situation: "Ma Hong Yun, you obtained fortune rivalling heaven Immortal Gu's recognition, you have Giant Sun's bloodline, you are a member of Longevity Heaven. Longevity Heaven is the source of our bloodline, Ancestor Giant Sun's grotto-heaven. We're here to take you home. "
Old Ancestor Xue Hu snorted coldly, threatening Fang Yuan: "Liu Guan Yi, if you can capture Ma and Zhao, I will allow you to become the third peak lord of Snowy Mountain. I, Xue Hu, am a man of my words, you can rest assured. If you succeed, with my support, your future path of cultivation will be smooth. "
Hearing his words, the other Gu Immortals started to pay attention to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan lost the chance to kill Ying Wu Xie.
There was no other way.
He had already tried his best.
But the foundation of a rank eight, the advantage of a strength path immortal zombie in Reverse Flow River, and most importantly, Zishan Makoto's momentary clarity, all of these pushed him towards the abyss of failure.
"I failed!"
Fang Yuan gritted his teeth.
The situation was very dangerous for him. Among the three rank eights outside the river, only Old Ancestor Xue Hu could rely on.
But Old Ancestor Xue Hu had people from Shadow Sect beside him.
"If I leave Reverse Flow River, these three rank eights can attack me. My speed cannot match Hui Feng Zi, even with myriad self and familiar face, there is little hope of escaping from these three rank eights. "
Fang Yuan was clear about his own strength.
"However, if I can capture Ma and Zhao, they will be the best bargaining chips. Central Continent and Longevity Heaven will be willing to trade for them, not to mention Old Ancestor Xue Hu, I might even be able to use him to eliminate Shadow Sect! "
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan's gaze was fixed on Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lianyun.
He swam up with all his might towards the two of them.
Ma and Zhao saw Fang Yuan's movement, they were the only ones left in front of Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan's malicious intent was clear.
Ma and Zhao could only grit their teeth and continue swimming forward.
"Persevere!"
"I barely escaped from Snowy Mountain, I do not want to be captured again!"
"And Lady Xiao Yun, she became like this because of me, I need to save her!!"
"Thus, I need to persevere."
"Ma Hong Yun, you can do it, keep it up!"
Ma Hong Yun gritted his teeth, swimming forward with all his might. Even though he was extremely tired, he had great motivation in his heart.
Fang Yuan's speed was faster than Ma and Zhao.
But earlier, when he fought with Ying Wu Xie, he was pushed back by Reverse Flow River for a long time.
Thus, Ma and Zhao were safe, unless something happened to them and they could not hold on anymore.
Time gradually flowed by, and this peculiar competition had finally reached its final juncture.
Outside the river, a large number of Gu Immortals watched the three's actions.
"Hmm?" At this time, Zhao Lianyun's expression changed.
While she was swimming, her feet suddenly touched the ground.
Next, she subconsciously stepped on the ground and stood up from Reverse Flow River, her head and shoulders were above the water.
This change made her and Ma Hong Yun happy and surprised.
"How can this be?" Flood Extremity was shocked.
The dog tail life extending ferret yawned: "Don't be so surprised! The upstream of Reverse Flow River gets shallower and shallower. Haven't you read < < The Legends of Ren Zu > >? Back then, Ren Zu wanted to walk out of Reverse Flow River, but he failed at the final step. "
"So that's it!" Mao Li Qiu said loudly, the Central Continent Gu Immortals also realized.
"Unknowingly, they are already at the upstream."
"Guys, look! They're only a hundred steps away from the end of the upper reaches!"
"Could it be that Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun can break the record and do something that even the Ren Zu couldn't do? Could it be that they can walk out of the Reverse Flow River?!"
"Not necessarily. Back then, Ren Zu started from the downstream, Ma and Zhao gained a lot of advantages. "
"Even so, it is a grand feat!"
"That's right, their willpower is truly shocking!!"
The Gu Immortals discussed this topic intensely.
Even Mao Li Qiu winked: "This means that this Ma Hong Yun is really not bad! He can actually get out of Reverse Flow River. Hehe. "
Flood Extremity and Black Extremity looked at each other, the former said proudly: "As expected of the person chosen by fortune rivalling heaven Immortal Gu."
Fang Yuan was still moving his limbs, trying to swim upstream, while Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lianyun were already walking in Reverse Flow River.
Almost all of the Gu Immortals were looking at Ma and Zhao.
The immortals wanted to know if these two could break the human record, in a sense, surpass Ren Zu and walk out of Reverse Flow River from the upstream!
Step by step, step by step.
Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lianyun held onto each other, they were shakily moving forward.
They were extremely tired, they were numb, but they persisted.
With every step, their bodies would shake, like willow branches in the wind. If they fell down at the next moment, nobody would be surprised.
But in this state, they continued to move forward.
This scene shook the immortals' hearts.
"What kind of willpower is this!"
"Is this the power of love?"
"The two of them supported each other, they went through thick and thin together. Regardless of the result, I am filled with admiration towards these two. "
The commotion outside the river gradually stopped, as Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lianyun reached the end of the upstream, the immortals held their breaths.
