Chapter 993: Chapter 993: Yunxuan Battles the White Flood Dragon
Northwest Wilderness.
Jiang Yunxuan sat on a log, muttering to himself, but strangely enough, after he mentioned mermaids, more and more fish began jumping onto the lake surface and back down again.
Of course, they were just ordinary carp and catfish, not the mermaids he imagined.
Upon seeing this scene, Jiang Yunxuan showed no appreciation, cursing at the street: "Little fishes, don’t keep jumping. Looking at your chubby selves, I truly want to roast and eat you all!"
Splash!
Splash!
The fish that had been jumping suddenly seemed to go crazy, swimming directly towards him, crashing into the wood he was sitting on.
Jiang Yunxuan was alarmed, quickly pleading: "Don’t crash, I’m a landlubber! Even if I was wrong, can’t you forgive me? I won’t eat you anymore, I promise I won’t eat fish ever again!"
Yet, the fish continued their relentless attack on the wood.
Jiang Yunxuan was sitting on just a piece of wood he had pulled along, not a boat. In such conditions, even a boat would be overturned.
In an instant, the log flipped over, and Jiang Yunxuan fell directly into the lake, flailing around and trying to call for help, but soon he vanished without a trace!
After his disappearance, two figures suddenly emerged on the shore of the lake.
Clearly, they were Wang Liang and another man, who had been at the Jiang Family residence before.
Seeing Wang Liang frown, the other man asked, "Why are you in a daze? Yunxuan is about to die. Hurry and save him!"
"Wait a bit longer."
Wang Liang pulled the man down, saying, "Monkey, did you forget what Brother Fan said before we left? This trip is Yunxuan’s opportunity, and we can’t intervene until the crucial moment."
"Stop messing around! Yunxuan can’t swim; isn’t this already the crucial moment?" Monkey shouted uneasily, scratching his ears.
"Shh... someone is coming!"
Wang Liang suddenly furrowed his brow, pulling Monkey to hide behind a large rock.
Just as he said, not long after, a figure appeared on the opposite shore.
"Is that the old poisonous creature?" Monkey asked quietly.
"No, that’s just a Gu Corpse refined by Venerable Ghost Nether. This person used to be an elder of the Medical Immortal Sect. According to the message from below, all seven elders who disappeared with that old poisonous person were refined into Gu Corpses by him."
"Hiss!" Monkey gasped, "Damn, he’s into such evil things, truly a heartless brute."
"Whether he’s heartless or not isn’t our concern for now. We’ve already got news that Venerable Ghost Nether has been haunting the Northwest Wilderness. Now that this Gu Corpse has appeared, it’s probably here for Yunxuan’s opportunity," Wang Liang said solemnly.
"Then don’t hide, let’s take action." Monkey grinned, "It’s been over seven years since I’ve fought."
"Your wish is unlikely to be fulfilled." Wang Liang chuckled, "Neither of us can deal with that Gu Corpse; we have to leave it for Yunxuan to practice!"
"Wait, you can’t be serious about holding a grudge from when Yunxuan peed on your clothes as a kid, now refusing to help him, huh?" Monkey grumbled, displeased.
Wang Liang’s forehead immediately lined with black streaks: "Monkey, I really want to beat you up now! That was years ago, and you’re still talking about it a lifetime later?"
"You keep saying not to save him, how can I not overthink it?" Monkey said with open hands.
"I can’t be bothered arguing with you. If you want to take action, go ahead, as long as you’re not worried about Brother Fan settling accounts with you later!" Wang Liang was done persuading, simply sitting aside.
Monkey glanced at the Gu Corpse, pursing his lips: "How could I, as his uncle, fight for the practice target with my nephew Yunxuan?"
...
All of this happening on the shore was unknown to the submerged Jiang Yunxuan.
However, he was facing a moderate danger.
Danger seems significant because he’s underwater; although a martial artist’s special cultivation technique prevents him from drowning, he can’t unleash his full power against the giant creature before him.
Yet, it feels minor because he won’t die in the short term, and the creature before him fills him with a thrill!
Right in front of Jiang Yunxuan was an entirely white flood dragon. Its head horns were already one or two centimeters long, indicating this beast had a lifespan of a century.
Oddly, like the fish here, this White Flood Dragon had a split fish tail.
Its body length was about two to three meters!
Jiang Yunxuan endured the discomfort underwater, staring at the White Flood Dragon: "I accidentally interrupted your rest; maybe I should leave first?"
With every word, some water went into his stomach, so Jiang Yunxuan quickly shut his mouth, not wanting to die from drowning while stuffed with water!
The White Flood Dragon glanced at him, then flicked its tail, creating a strong current that surged directly at Jiang Yunxuan.
Bang!
Already unable to control his posture, Jiang Yunxuan began to shake wildly, getting hit directly into a nearby fish school.
"Damn it, do you really think I don’t have a temper!" Jiang Yunxuan was furious.
He didn’t care about swallowing water or drowning; as long as he wasn’t eaten by this White Flood Dragon, he’d fight back!
With these words, he maneuvered his body to attack the White Flood Dragon.
The White Flood Dragon saw this and its huge body swam forward twice, suddenly opening its huge mouth, with a massive suction appearing around Jiang Yunxuan.
It was clearly poised to swallow him whole!
At this moment, a fleeting thought crossed Jiang Yunxuan’s mind, wanting to stop, but quickly passed away. He grinned, pulling out a finely carved dagger from his waist.
Upon reaching the White Flood Dragon’s mouth, Jiang Yunxuan struck fiercely, pressing down the dragon’s head with his left hand and piercing the dagger into its upper jaw with his right hand, piercing through the dragon’s head!
Thump!
Thump!
The White Flood Dragon, heavily struck, wobbled its body, shaking vigorously, with the surrounding water turning into whirlpools.
Seeing this, Jiang Yunxuan dared not let go, gripping the dragon’s head tightly. As he was shaken, he noticed a flash of light at the dragon’s seven inches, furrowing his brow: "Could that be this beast’s heart?"
With this thought, Jiang Yunxuan pulled out the dagger and stabbed at the light!
Boom!
At the moment of penetration, the White Flood Dragon let out a huge cry, followed by a force that sent him flying out, along with the White Flood Dragon!
Seeing this, the Gu Corpse on the right bank paused in surprise, a smile appearing on its face, while Monkey and Wang Liang also turned to look...
