The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1294

Chapter 1294: Chapter 1291: Escape from Death Chapter 1294: Chapter 1291: Escape from Death Atop the Weak Water River, no water waves stirred, and a treasure ship sailed rather steadily.

Little Master and his companions all stood on the deck. They cooperated to propel the treasure ship forward, each with a tense expression, none daring to be careless.

Made from Xuan Yin green bamboo, the treasure ship hovered above the Weak Water River's surface, forming a visible misty film between the ship's underside and the water, seemingly in contact but actually separated.

A light emanated weakly from the sigils surrounding the treasure ship, forming a barely visible protective shield that kept all poisonous gases at bay.

Instead of rushing to cross the river, everyone chose to follow the river channel downstream, hoping to catch up with Shen Luo and Master Yan by taking a shortcut via the waterway.

After the treasure ship had floated more than a hundred yards, passing through a turbulent bend, they entered a broad water area where they faced towering water waves surging forward, smashing toward the treasure ship.

Little Master immediately raised his sleeve and waved, a light bursting forth and merging into the treasure ship.

Although the treasure ship was hastily refined, it still fell under the category of armor. As the light blended in, the prow suddenly dipped downward and then surged upward, leading the ship to cut through the waves downstream.

The opposing waves clashed, burst apart with a crash, and sent water splashing every which way.

As the water splashed around them, the treasure ship settled back down, and only then everyone saw clearly that in front of them, a ferocious beast resembling both a fish and a dragon was churning in the water, stirring up the waters.

The beast was enormous; just the half of its body that was visible above water was thirty yards in length, covered in dark green scales. On its head, which resembled that of a fish, were two twisted, branch-like horns, and around its face dangled more than a hundred whip-like tendrils that swayed with every movement of its head.

Although not yet a Great Mahayana peak in strength, the ferocious ghost released an aura nearly as powerful. Its formidable body, refined by the Weak Water, gave it combat capabilities comparable to those of a True Immortal.

Alongside it swam a school of ferocious, strange fish, each no more than ten yards long, also covered in dark green scales. Within their gaping maws, interlocking spines like thorns revealed their sharp, deadly teeth.

However, this giant beast was not intent on troubling Little Master's treasure ship but was locked in battle with a smaller armor ship.

On that ship, a young man with delicate bones and an androgynous charm was simultaneously maneuvering a Fierce Tiger Armor with red markings on a dark black background and the ferocious dragon fish beast, while throwing handfuls of red powder into the river.

The dark black Fierce Tiger Armor, equipped with a pair of wings, could soar through the air. Though its claws seemed to drive the winds, the Armor's strength was still far from matching that of the beast.

At that moment, the tiger was entangled by the dragon fish, its steel frame tightly coiled, emitting a series of “clicking” sounds.

The Fierce Tiger's wings were broken, its mystical light flickering wildly, and its claws flailed helplessly in the void, signaling it was at a desperate impasse.

Meanwhile, the young man didn't have the luxury to pay attention to the Armor as more savage fish continued to leap from the water, attacking the ship.

These creatures had no regard for the ship's defenses, able to bite through the hull with their sharp teeth. Each bite came with a “sizzling” sound as they tore off pieces of the ship.

A bite or two was not a big problem, but if left unchecked, these creatures could quickly tear the armor ship to pieces.

Therefore, while dividing his attention to fend off the dragon fish, the young man was also forced to scatter more potent powder to fend off these fish.

At first, the fish were quite sensitive to the powder, avoiding it immediately upon contact, but after several exposures, they adapted to the toxin. Even dusted with the powder, they still charged forward, determined to land at least one biting attack before retreating.

The young man had to increase the dosage of the powder incessantly to discourage the fish, but it was gradually becoming overwhelming.

At that moment, a crisp “crack” sounded.

As the ferocious dragonfish exerted its full strength to constrict and tighten, the Fierce Tiger Armor on the man's body corroded by the venom started to emit white steam, finally unable to hold it any longer, it burst apart directly.

Fragmented pieces scattered across the sky. The dragonfish suddenly dove from among them, rushing straight toward the pleasing man on the Armor Ship.

The pleasing man was just about to counter with his Dharmform when the Armor Ship beneath him began to shake violently, with hundreds of bizarre fish simultaneously exerting their force, ramming hard into one side of the ship.

The other side of the ship was already riddled with holes, and with this collision, the ship tilted, causing a tremendous amount of Weak Water to pour into the cabin through the holes. Suddenly, the ship could no longer maintain its balance and started sinking into the water below.

The ferocious dragonfish had also closed in rapidly, opening its mouth wide to bite him.

“My life is over…” In a moment of despair, the pleasing man let out a sigh of resignation.

“Elder Mei, bend down.” Just then, a loud shout erupted unexpectedly.

Heartened by the sound, the pleasing man hurriedly crouched down, his body almost touching the deck of the ship.

The moment he crouched, he felt a burst of icy breath shoot past his back, followed by a terrible roar ringing in his ears.

“Ao…”

Just as the ferocious dragonfish was about to swallow Elder Mei whole, three snow-white arrows as thick as an adult's arm and three zhang in length descended in a vertical line, piercing the head, neck, and chest of the dragonfish.

The force of the arrows was so great that, although they did not completely penetrate the dragonfish's body, they dragged it along the water's surface for over a hundred zhang before it crashed into the water.

Upon contact with the liquid, the snow-white arrows immediately froze into ice, encasing the dragonfish within.

The large patches of dark green blood the dragonfish shed along the way seemed to be extremely enticing to those fierce bizarre fish. Just now, they were the dragonfish's flunkies, but now they greedily consumed the blood trail, charging towards the dragonfish.

However, as soon as they drew close, the ice encasing the dragonfish burst apart.

After regaining its freedom, the dragonfish saw the bloodthirsty bizarre fish all rushing towards it. Without any hesitation, it swept its colossal tail and plunged into the water, fleeing downstream.

Elder Mei stood on the ship that was about to sink, feeling the joy of a narrow escape from death, and waved vigorously at the Little Master and his companions, his slender waist swaying along.

The sight made everyone on the Treasure Ship feel nauseous, but it was Elder Mo Wang who quickly shouted, “Aren't you coming over quickly?”

With that, he threw out a whip rope, snaring Elder Mei and bringing him back onto the Treasure Ship.

“City lord, I almost thought I was going to die here, never to see you again…” Elder Mei's eyes brimmed with tears, and he spoke with a weeping tone.

Fuk in the meantime kept stamping his foot, full of pity, and said,

“City lord, why bother saving him? Not only did it deplete the Broken Army Divine Crossbow, but it also wasted three Cloud Frost Arrows for nothing.”

Only then did Elder Mei notice that there was a finely carved crossbow, seven to eight zhang in width, prominently displayed on the Treasure Ship. This thing was a high-level Armor, even more powerful than the Divine Craftsman Cannon.

“I thank the city lord for the grace of saving my life.” Elder Mei then earnestly bowed in gratitude.
