Suddenly, the waves were split apart by a dazzlingly bright broadsword Qi, transforming the water into ice, and violently crashing into the bow of the boat.
The defensive formation almost gave out, and with a ‘thud’, the bow was forced to lift high up as if it were an unruly horse tilting to one side.
The fish-cultivators on the boat let out cries of alarm.
Before they could react to this sudden change, several ‘buzzing’ golden lines shot past, howls of pain abruptly cut short.
“Golden Silkworm Gu?”
One person on the boat exclaimed in surprise and joy, and shouted, “Brother Chen, is that you?”
“Qiangzi?!”
With a flash of the sword Qi, Chen Dengming’s large and towering figure landed on the boat, stomping down on the tilting vessel causing waves to fly up with a ‘thud’.
Chen Dengming’s eyes shone bright, filled with joy as he looked upon Jiang Qiang, who was safely standing by the mast on the boat.
...
Their eyes connected, and they began to laugh together.
“Qiangzi, you’re clever indeed.
I was afraid I’d find you on the ground with both your legs chopped off, calling me Brother Chen!”
“Haha, Brother Chen, if you had arrived any later, I might have ended up on the ground with my legs chopped off.”
“I can’t believe it…
But, it’s okay now.
It’s not the time for a chat.
The patrol is almost here.
We have to go!”
Without wasting any time, Chen Dengming made no move to collect the storage bags of the cultivators that had fallen into the river.
The Master of Instrument Control Skill combined with Sword Dao.
With a flash of sword Qi, it turned into a dazzling escape light, wrapping around Jiang Qiang before ‘thud’, plunging into the turbulent river and swiftly departing downstream.
The night rain came with the wind, turning into a violent storm, as though countless whips were lashing at the heavens and earth, shrouding the landscape in a curtain of rain.
The river misted over like a show of favor from the heavens, abetting the successful escape of Chen Dengming and Jiang Qiang.
Rescuing Jiang Qiang made their mission complete, eased his mind, and also cleansed the world of several heartless and shameless villains, departing in high spirits.
As for the rest, Chen Dengming could care less and had no capacity to bother.
He could only hope that the women of the Yu family and Danxiu, who had his legs chopped off, could escape in the chaos.
What is an immortal, what is a hero, he had no clear concept or distinction in his mind.
Some things need not be that clear-cut.
But ever since he came to the Cultivation World, he saw no one possessed immortal Qi.
Among all his interactions, none possessed a heroic aura either.
He admitted that he did not carry either immortal or heroic Qi.
However, if one has sufficient ability, they could wield their sword on the path to longevity.
Otherwise, why bother entering the Immortal World?
In this world, the good are bullied.
If one feels oppressed, they must let their sword Qi permeate the heavens and the earth, summon the wind, and lighten the water clouds.
Refuse to be cowardly!
Refuse to be cowardly!
If one lacks power, they should step back, face the world bravely, and when they have the power, they should strike hard and remove the obstacles!
…
Almost immediately after Chen Dengming and Jiang Qiang drifted away with the river current.
Several streaks of spiritual lights broke through the rain curtain and emerged at the port.
It was the cultivator patrol from Absolute Forest City.
However, even though they arrived, they were a step too late and could only help retrieve the corpses of the fish-cultivators, some of which had even sunk to the bottom of the river and fed the fish.
At this point, the waves were fierce.
The blood had provoked some deep river monsters to emerge, nowhere could they find Chen Dengming and the others.
Once in Dongjiang, it was as though a dragon entered the sea.
Catching up with them would be far more difficult.
This was the result that Chen Dengming had predicted, not just the movements and routines of the fish-cultivators.
Even the patrol routines and timing of the cultivator patrol, he had observed and noted them down in the past few days.
It had been years since anyone dared to cause such uproar in Absolute Forest City, except for the life-and-death battle between the Yu family and the Liang family the last time.
Yet today, there was one more.
The patrol cultivators from Absolute Forest City, however, knew neither the name nor the face of this person and could only speculate it to be an act of revenge.
…
Two days later.
In a forest about five hundred miles outside Absolute Forest City.
With a “BOOM”, Chen Dengming shook off the sticky rain on his body then performed a Cleaning Skill on himself, finally feeling much more comfortable.
“Brother Chen, we’ve been running for two days, and it’s been raining for two days.
It’s like the heavens are helping us…”
Jiang Qiang’s voice came from behind, accompanied by the mouth-watering fragrance of grilled fish.
Looking up, a strange fish about half a meter long was being roasted on a fire in the forest.
Its colorful snake-skin-like surface was roasted golden and crispy, dripping with oil.
It didn’t resemble fish skin, but more like cowhide or sheepskin.

“If the heavens were to help us, it would have been earlier.
Why would they wait until today?
The heavens are unfeeling, using all creatures as straw dogs, meaning the universe does not favor anyone, helps no one, and lets everything take its course.
The heavens will only help you if you’re the protagonist of heaven and earth…”
Chen Dengming shook his head and walked over; Jiang Qiang immediately cut a large piece of well-cooked fish meat, wrapped it in tree leaves, and handed it to Chen Dengming.
“Brother Chen, what will we do next?
Are you planning to join a sect?”
Jiang Qiang tried to keep his tone casual as he said this, not wanting excessive deference to create a gulf between them.
But no matter how hard he tried to make himself sound relaxed, the nervousness in his heart was inevitable.
In this reunion, Chen Dengming’s strength had greatly exceeded his imagination.
Just calling him ‘Brother Chen’ like old times took a lot of efforts to overcome his nervousness.
Is this the astonishing improvement speed of a top tier Spiritual Root cultivator?
