In the eastern part of the Chu State, near the entrance of the Huai River, there stands a huge water village.
Jiulian Village.
This place was originally the hometown of Wu and Yue. After the fall of Yue, it was incorporated into the territory of Chu.
However, due to the uniqueness of the Chu State's system, it had very weak control over these areas far away from the capital, and relied mostly on local feudal lords for jurisdiction.
And unlike most countries where the feudal lords on the frontiers are the strongest, the lords of Chu State,
The stronger they are, the closer they are to the center. Because they want to enclose land not to protect the country, but just to occupy the fertile land and make profits.
Therefore, in a place as remote as Wu Yue's hometown, the power of the feudal lord was quite weak, and a gang actually controlled the water transportation channels between the local area and the Qi State and even the Yan State in the north.
This gang is Jiulianzhai.
Speaking of which, Wu Tong, the leader of Jiulian Village, is actually a Yue remnant of the Juwu tribe, and he possesses an incomplete secret of water witchcraft.
With this as the foundation, we were able to gain a firm foothold under the influence of many gangs and thieves in Huai River.
And gradually developed to the current momentum.
"Boss,
Boss!"
On this day, a gang member wearing half a fish skin turtleneck hurriedly knocked on Wu Tong's door.
"What's wrong?"
Wu Tong is a slender middle-aged man. He pushed open the door and walked out without being angry or intimidating.
"The leader of the third village has been captured!"
The gangster shouted loudly.
"Third brother? What on earth is going on?"
Wu Tong frowned. Jiulian Village is the leader of nearby waterways with a radius of hundreds of miles. Wenjiao, the leader of the third village, is also quite powerful, especially on the water. Who can capture him? And why should he be captured?
"This is the leader of the big village. This morning we followed the leader of the third village to patrol the water..."
The man explained the whole story in detail. In short, when they were patrolling the water area, they saw a woman who was as beautiful as a fairy. Wen Jiao couldn't restrain his lust and went up to chat with her. As a result, she was captured.
Living.
"This third child..."
Wu Tong covered his forehead and said angrily, "The old habit just won't change. He won't listen no matter how many times I try to persuade him. Now he's finally hit the wall, right? Didn't that group of people declare their family status? You dare to arrest me in the Ninth Company?"
The people in the village, who are they?"
"The woman said... they seem to be members of the Chi family?"
The younger brother's tone was a little uncertain.
"Chi family?"
Wu Tong thought for a while,
"I seem to have heard someone say in Qi State,
It's a new school of thought. Come on, take someone with me to meet them."
With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen water ghosts appeared from nowhere, climbed onto the bow of the boat one after another, and surrounded Wu Tong as they headed towards the entrance of Dazhai. Most of their bodies were covered with water with expressions, and only some deep water ghosts could be seen on their heads.
Strange cyan texture.
Not long after walking, Wu Tong saw an oncoming boat on the river.
The first woman in the room was wearing a red dress that was as bright as fire, and she was unparalleled in beauty, but what else could she be stepping on if not Wen Jiao?
Although Wu Tong scolded his little brother in the village, when he came to outsiders and saw that he was so humiliated, he still got angry.
"That's too much!"
With his toes on the bow of the boat, he jumped up like a big bird, tapped the water twice, and grabbed Yan Lingji.
"Well done!"
Yan Lingji's beautiful eyes lit up, she raised her hand and struck out with a palm, a black and red poisonous fire as thin as a flying line,
Wu Tong burned into the air.
"drink!"
Since Wu Tong dared to take the lead in flying into the air,
Naturally, there are some methods that are not afraid of being attacked halfway. He heard him shout loudly, and dense water flowed out from the pores of his skin.
It was criss-crossed, like a pair of water armor, and it actually did not dodge the poisonous fire flying line that was coming, but slapped it with a slap.
Chichi——
Water and fire met, and a burst of smoke rose up, obscuring the sight of both parties.
The next second, Wu Tong came out of the fog, and slapped Yan Lingji's face hard with a palm filled with thick water vapor.
[Water Dividing Palm]!
Yan Lingji's skirt was fluttering, she took light steps to avoid the frontal impact, her jade-white fingers flicked one after another, and the black and red fire snakes formed a fire net in front of her and covered Wu Tong who was rushing towards her.
Facing the dense fire net, Wu Tong did not dare to continue to break through. Instead, he leaned over and grabbed the Wenjiao on the ground and immediately retreated. With a "pop", he turned over and jumped into the water.
In this fight, the time from Wu Tong's leap to the time he retreated into the water was only a few breaths. Before the younger brothers on both sides could react, the battle came to an end.
Although judging from the results, Wu Tong took the initiative but was eventually forced into the water and seemed to be at a disadvantage. However, he achieved his goal of rescuing Wen Jiao, but Yan Lingji lost a good bargaining chip in his hand.
How does Yan Lingji, who has had a smooth journey, accept this?
Since leaving Dongting, she has been traveling all the way east. The Dahe Gang, Qushuimen, Bailangwu and other gangs have all been impressed by her female power. Now is the time when she is very proud, but she doesn't want to be careless and be defeated by this mere Nine Company.
The owner of the village took advantage of it.
How could she endure being so proud?
Even though this place is above the water and the terrain is conducive to her, but...
"You made me angry~"
Yan Lingji murmured softly, her charming voice was numb to the bones, her blurred eyes were alluring and sinking, and the fire-colored witch patterns on her arms lit up one after another, which was a symbol that she was beginning to exert all her strength to activate her internal energy.
Black and red streams of fire gathered between her palms, gradually expanding from the size of sesame seeds to pigeon eggs, duck eggs, apples, watermelons...
The dark flames were burning brightly, and Yan Lingji seemed to be holding an unknown black sun in her hands!
"Like going into the water? Then stay under the water for the rest of your life and don't even think about coming out!"
She scolded, raised the black sun in her hand, and smashed it into the water.
[Xuanhuo Pendant]!
Pfft——
boom!!!
A violent explosion suddenly sounded, and the water vapor rose up and turned into a small mushroom cloud. The waves were rolling, and both ships were shaken by the waves. The gang members of Jiulianzhai lay anxiously beside the ship and called to Wu Tong.
name.
But Wu Tong, who has not yet emerged from the water, has no time to say anything at this time, because he is encountering the biggest crisis in his life at this moment!
Originally, after entering the water, he planned to wait for an opportunity to make a sudden attack. After the simple battle just now, he found that Yan Lingji's flames were not easy to deal with, and they were also poisonous. Even his own water armor could not completely resist it.
But he never expected that when Yan Lingji got angry, a ball of poisonous fireball as big as "Cang Chi" would be thrown down.
You know, it's just a simple flame, but the black fireball can be seen at a glance how poisonous it is, but the poison spreads very quickly in the water. Even if he saw that the situation was not good and was already moving away quickly, he still couldn't
Touched by the aftermath, even the water armor that was constantly flowing on his body turned into a light black, and a burning sensation hit him all over his body.
Wu Tong finally managed to use the last bit of strength to climb onto the boat, only to be met by a slender and pointed heel.
The high-heeled shoes owner's charming voice concealed a solemn murderous intention:
