After a few days of rowing, when the dragon boat group was nearing the finish line, everyone no longer held back!
The distance between the first and the last place had been pulled to a few hundred miles, but there were still dozens of dragon boats in the first group that were tightly clinging to each other for the final sprint!
The last few hundred miles were basically flat and wide waters, which was suitable for sprinting. It was also specially arranged so that the spectators on both sides of the river were mesmerized.
The Swordsman's dragon boat was very special. The bow of the boat was not a dragon head, but a sword head!
Of course, they were not the most special ones among all the dragon boats. There were horse heads, cow heads, chicken heads, and all kinds of strange river beasts' heads. There were also human heads, and there was even a half-mermaid, which was not slow at all.
They represented the totems of each race and the mascots of their orthodoxies. After tens of thousands of years of the Dragon Boat Conference, it was no longer as lifeless as before. Of course, the dragon heads were still the most common!
His companions were all trying their best. This was the last few hundred miles that would determine the ranking. If they did not give it their all, they would not have the chance anymore! The Swordsman's sword boat was still in the thirties. This was also their usual strategy, to follow the leading boat closely and then give it their all in the end!
Lou Xiaoyi certainly could not give it his all. If he did, the boat would fly … He just maintained the same effort as the others. This was his principle.
When the last moment arrived, some very interesting situations appeared in his perception … In this first group, there was almost no one who did not cheat!
Basically, there were Foundation Establishment Cultivators mixed in with them, one or two, but not many. Their purpose was very simple. When the other dragon boats began to accelerate abnormally, they also had to have their own trump cards!
The sword boat group was one of the few that did not cheat. This was because of their strict sect rules and the inherent pride of the Swordsman.
Because they were from the same sect, and because of their profound knowledge, the combined strength of the twenty Swordsman was far superior to the motley crew. Only now did Lou Xiaoyi understand why the Swordsman squad could only barely make it into the top ten in the previous Swordsman squads. Sometimes, they could not even make it into the top ten.
The closer they got to the destination, the more intense the competition became. The speed of the sword boat had basically reached the limit of what a Qi Refinement Warrior could achieve. The bow of the boat was raised high and the speed was close to a hundred miles per hour. But even so, there were still dragon boats that could not catch up with them. There were even dragon boats that surpassed them!
For example, a blood-red dragon boat with a human head and faceless face was slowly overtaking the Sword Boat. The Swordsman was so angry that they couldn't shake it off no matter how hard they tried. Only the stern of the dragon boat was still submerged in the water. Most of the boat's hull was raised high due to its speed, and the oarsmen at the front could only keep half of their oars in the water …
This is f * cking fake!
But the ordinary spectators did not care about these details. They only wanted to watch the show. The more intense the show, the better. The more outstanding the strange boat, the better!
In the last ten miles, Lou Xiaoyi judged the situation. The sword boat was in the eleventh place. The ones at the front were all disguised as Foundation Establishment Cultivators using Yin Force, and the ones at the back were not a threat to the sword boat for the time being.
It was his first time participating in such an event. Did he have to swallow the regret of being schemed against?
If everyone followed the rules, he would of course follow them too. It did not matter even if he fell out of the top ten. But if someone used this method to achieve his goal, then he was not a kind person either!
The flying boat in the front was less than a mile away from the finish line. It was only a matter of ten breaths. The blood-red dragon boat with a human head and faceless face was catching up and overtaking them continuously. It was close to the top three. Although it was only a mile away, it was hard to say who would have the last laugh based on its performance.
Of course, it had nothing to do with the sword boat. They were now in the eleventh place. Unless they flew, there was no hope of surpassing them. The dragon boat behind them was also very far away.
He could not violate his own principles. With Jin Dan's ability, he could accelerate the sword boat, but he could do something else. He seemed to have other ideas about how to do bad things.
The paddle entered the water, and a trace of the power of the five elements silently mixed into the water. Through the river, it reached a distance of a mile away …
Huang Xiaoya was also mixed in the crowd. Together with a few of her friends, they desperately cheered for the sword boat! She had never worked so hard before, because she felt guilty. At this time, she had already begun to regret. Why did she try so hard to avoid such a boat? She could have fought for glory for her own orthodoxy in front of tens of thousands of people!
But now, the half-dead was in the eleventh place! Just one more to be in the top ten and get the blessing of the Dragon God!
If they were at the back, it would not matter if they were dead. But in this position, couldn't they put in a little more effort?
Especially that dead man! No one would pay special attention to a specific person on a certain dragon boat, except for her! She had been staring at this guy! She had her own woman's special intuition. Looking at the wretched smile on this person's face and the calm paddle, she knew that this damned guy was not doing his best!
At a time like this, he was still lazy! If she could control her sword, she would want to give this guy a good beating!
Amidst the cheers of hundreds of thousands of people, the scene they liked to see the most appeared. A dragon boat suddenly appeared. It was a blood-red boat, and amidst the deafening shouts, the bow of the boat rose higher and higher, and the contact with the water became less and less. The long oars in the hands of the oarsmen in front could no longer reach the water, but their speed was getting faster and faster …
In the end, under the astonished gazes of hundreds of thousands of people, the last bit of contact with the water disappeared, and the entire blood-red dragon boat flew up …
Yes, it flew up in an illogical manner! The eighteen oarsmen were still numbly paddling, but why did they feel that it was so easy to paddle now? Was it like they were paddling in the air?
They were originally paddling in the air!
Cultivation was not unfamiliar in the exile land, and it was also something that everyone knew. So now, what did the strangeness of this dragon boat mean? Even the mortals had some guesses … The huge cheers turned into loud boos and boos, which made the scene particularly lively!
"Cheating! Cheating! "
Huang Xiaoya's brain worked well, and she shouted loudly with several of her companions. Of course, the voices of the Qi cultivators were much louder than that of ordinary people. They quickly infected the people around them and merged into a force that quickly spread until hundreds of thousands of people shouted together.
"Cheating! Cheating! "
On the blood-red flying boat, the last three of the eighteen oarsmen were also the three veteran Foundation Establishment cultivators arranged by the force behind them. Of course, they did not need to be too strict. Which of the dragon boats in front did not have a Foundation Establishment cultivator? It was a tacit secret!
They were dumbfounded and complaining to each other.
"Liu Laoer! Don't f * cking use your strength! Can't you see that the boat is flying! "
"I f * cking used my strength long ago! Wang Laowu, don't slander me! "
The two of them looked at Zheng Laoqi together, and Zheng Laoqi spread his hands.
"We didn't do it, it was pushed by the water! Someone secretly did it! "
