The Young Swordsman: The Taoist Priest of Qingcheng Has Descended the Mountain

Page 133

The colossal city that had fled in mid-air shattered like a bubble, and from the crack in the sky, a dark, indistinct object fell into the distant sea.

The giant city disappeared once again.

Zhou was genuinely surprised: "They ran away? That's interesting."

With a series of flashes, they arrived at the location of the crashed giant city in an instant. The sea surface was dyed black and exuded a gurgling, fishy stench.

Zhou Zhenhuan waved his sleeve dismissively, dispelling the aura in front of him. He reached out and his Great Dragon Elephant Force materialized into a giant golden hand, which he used to retrieve an object from the seabed.

It looked like an arm, but the arm vanished like smoke in the next moment.

"The Arm of the Heavenly Demon? How strange."

Before he could think it through, the towering wall of seawater lost its support and collapsed with a crash.

Huge waves surged toward the dock, one after another.

"Oh no! This wave is so strong it might even wash away the entire city! You all need to get out of here!"

I'll hold them off!

The Confucian swordsman Xie Xuan was deeply shocked by what he saw.

Faced with the immense power of nature, our own strength is truly like a drop in the ocean, insignificant and negligible.

The sheer drop of the massive sea wall carries immense energy, and now it has triggered a chain reaction.

The Confucian Sword Immortal had already taken to the air, his true energy surging forth.

The rest of the people on the dock were already screaming in panic and scattering in all directions.

The boys on the cedar longboat, though pale-faced, remained composed.

Faced with such a scene that resembled a natural disaster, everyone felt a chill and were somewhat at a loss.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go!"

The Confucian Sword Immortal swung his sword, shattering a wave, but his heart sank.

The feedback he received startled him.

He knew that with his abilities, he could only withstand three more waves at most.

But looking out, the sea surface resembled a boiling pot, with wave after wave, layer upon layer, endlessly.

He had been wandering the world for many years, but he had never felt despair as he did today.

The next moment, he saw a figure in a green robe blocking his way, standing tall and straight like a pine tree.

The Confucian Sword Immortal breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear a chilling, resounding voice.

Zhou Huanzhen flicked his sword, unleashing boundless power that seemed to contain divine authority. A giant wave crashed before him, only to transform into a torrential downpour in the next instant.

The waves on the sea turned into raindrops and fell with a splash, but as far as the eye could see, the sea was calm and still.

After a rain, no trace could be seen.

Only the countless dead fish floating on the sea surface, stretching as far as the eye could see, proved that a great disaster had indeed occurred.

Zhou Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is really troublesome; it actually forced me to use half of my strength."

The Confucian Sword Immortal, who was standing to the side dumbfounded, almost lost his balance and fell into the sea upon hearing this.

He had always known that Zhou was very strong, but he didn't realize that his strength was so unreasonable.

Was that really the power that one person could unleash?

It is said that sword immortals have the power to split mountains and sever rivers, and indeed, that is true.

Back then, the Fairy of Sunset Glow and Song Yanhui held off the floodwaters for a quarter of an hour, a feat that had already made them famous throughout the land.

Zhou Zhenhuan, however, did not block it; instead, he neutralized the power within the giant wave.

Such methods, like a gentle spring breeze and nourishing rain, are truly beyond comprehension.

"Brother Xie, are you alright?"

Seeing Zhou Zhenhuan's concerned smile, Ru Jianxian's lips twitched.

Chapter 173 Yueyao?

"Lord Poseidon has been very busy lately, with so many things to do."

"This is the blessing of the Sea God!"

Small boats and sampans set out to sea, and there were far too many dead fish floating on the surface.

These fishermen were forced to kneel and worship the sea.

Inside the cabin, Mu Chunfeng appeared particularly reserved.

This was the first time he had witnessed the unparalleled power of this legendary carefree immortal, and he was completely convinced.

There is no doubt left.

"Senior, what kind of alcohol do you usually like to drink?"

Zhou Zhenhuan reached into his sleeve and, to Mu Chunfeng's astonishment, pulled out two wine jars.

"The one the emperor invited should be called Qiu Lu Bai, right?"

If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the Seven Starry Night Wine from the Wine Immortal.

Ordinary people shouldn't drink too much of it, or they'll die suddenly.

But I didn't have such restrictions; I just felt the liquor was strong enough.

Lei Wujie nodded vigorously, "That's right, that's right. I've drunk three bowls of it before, and it is indeed a very strong wine."

The Wine Immortal...?

Mu Chunfeng suddenly felt a little inferior. He considered himself a wine lover and believed that the wine he drank was one of the most famous wines in the world.

But compared to the wine connoisseur, they seem to be nothing.

I didn't need to ask that question.

"Hehe, senior, I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness before. I was very offended. Please forgive me."

Zhou Zhen waved his hand: "What crime is there? Alright, you kids can drink. You're probably not comfortable with Lao Xie and me here."

We might head ahead first, so you can have more time to prepare and then catch up.

Xiao Se and the others were all stunned for a moment.

"Master, has something else happened?"

Xiao Se could see clearly that there was definitely something wrong with that strange wall of seawater from before.

Moreover, Master disappeared behind that wall of seawater; he must have discovered something.

"Nothing has changed, it's just that it's been delayed for too long."

Children shouldn't worry about adult matters.

Eat and drink as you please, just treat it as a trip for fun.

"Old Xie, let's go, let's find somewhere else to have a drink."

Xie Xuan nodded with a smile, picked up a jar of wine, and followed Zhou Zhenhuan out of the cabin.

The two men sat down on the lookout tower atop the mast, the highest point on the entire ship, offering a view of the vast ocean.

Where the water meets the sky, and the autumn water blends seamlessly with the vast sky, one's heart soars amidst the clouds—truly a wonderful place.

"Brother Dao, what exactly happened before?"

Zhou Zhenhuan hesitated for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "To be honest, I don't know either."

Xie Xuan was clearly taken aback: "You didn't know either?"

"Yes, I saw a city behind it, a city that only contained one eye, it was incredibly strange."

I drew my sword and severed an arm, but it still managed to escape.

It feels like a celestial demon body, but it's quite different from the celestial demons I've encountered before; it's truly extremely strange.

Xie Xuan was somewhat surprised: "To actually escape from your grasp, Brother Dao, you must be quite extraordinary."

"The world is undergoing tremendous changes. Heaven has a murderous intent, and people have murderous thoughts. When heaven and people respond to each other, disaster is bound to occur."

Extraterrestrial immortals are eyeing us covetously, and have recently been frequently descending to the mortal realm.

Luo Qingyang killed four immortals from beyond the realm at the South Heavenly Gate.

However, if this happens, it will likely continue indefinitely.

Now that even the Heavenly Demon has joined in this fun, the world is likely to be in turmoil.

Xie Xuan remained silent for a long time after hearing this.

"Even you, fellow Daoist, are powerless to reverse the situation?"

Zhou chuckled, a sound that carried a hint of self-deprecation.

"Human strength has its limits; this is the natural order of things. I am but a mortal; how could I possibly have that ability?"

Xie Xuan rolled his eyes at him. "Ordinary person?"

Zhou Zhenhuan's words still weighed heavily on his mind.

So where do we go next?

Zhou Zhen gave him a strange look: "You want to come with me?"

Didn't you just call me out? And you said you were going ahead?

If I could beat you, your grave would be overgrown with weeds by now.

"Just kidding, why are you so serious?"

However, Brother Xie, you may do as you please. Perhaps you can accompany them, but I must depart.

The trouble on this sacred mountain is more troublesome than I expected.

Xie Xuan was well aware that while his strength was indeed among the top in Beili, the Penglai Immortal Mountain was probably filled with immortals.

If something really happens, he might not be able to handle it.

Therefore, after thinking for a moment, he said, "Although I don't know what you want to do, please go ahead."

I will escort these little guys to the sacred mountain.

Hopefully, by then the problem will have been resolved.

Zhou Zhen nodded, drank the wine in the jar in one gulp, and then, like a large bird, swooped down from the watchtower.

"Don't worry, the problem will definitely be solved by then."

Zhou Zhen glided in mid-air for a while, then suddenly turned into a breeze and disappeared without a trace.

The Confucian Sword Immortal looked at the spot where Zhou Zhenhuan had disappeared and sighed softly.

"When will I be able to live like this carefree immortal?"

Upon hearing this thought, the Confucian Sword Immortal couldn't help but chuckle.

"I must be crazy, why would I have such a thought?"

In this entire world, there is only one carefree immortal.

He was never enthusiastic about martial arts, but somehow he came across the name of a sword immortal.

It must have been someone surnamed Zhou who tampered with me, yes, that must be it.

Zhou Huanzhen traveled along the wind at a relatively slow pace, following the previous sea surface as he tried to find out what was wrong.

But he was soon disappointed.

The thing that escaped seemed to have truly vanished without a trace, leaving not a single mark.

Although Zhou Zhenhuan didn't know the location of Penglai Immortal Mountain, that didn't stump him.

To reach Penglai Immortal Mountain normally, an undercurrent is needed to propel the journey, but this undercurrent is not present at all times.
