The true energy surged in the Dantian, and the energy in the veins exploded instantly. Lin Zhao, who had just stepped into the third realm of martial arts, swirled all over his clothes, as if a powerful air ball had opened up between heaven and earth, blowing away the nearby river.
As the pressure was lowered, the boat also sank a little. The pressure was so majestic that the fish in the water jumped out of the water one after another, opening their mouths wide in order to catch their breath.
At the same time, a pleasant ringtone rang in my ears, which was particularly pleasant——
"Ding!"
System prompt: Congratulations on your successful entry into the martial arts [Bone Tempering Realm]. The effects obtained are as follows: agility 30, endurance 60, toughness 30, blood recovery 20%, critical hit resistance 5%, physical damage effect 10%, when attacked
Convert 10% of the damage taken into health!
…
The third realm not only improves physical skills, endurance, and toughness, but also increases the effects of energy and blood recovery, critical hit resistance, physical damage, etc. This is quite unbelievable. After all, the sword cultivator's flying sword attack is
It is a physical attack, so the sword cultivator can also enjoy the damage-increasing effect of the martial arts upgrade. In this way, the overall combat power of the martial arts sword cultivator is not just as simple as 11=2.
"oh?"
The fish in the pond narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "The warrior has broken through?"
"Um."
Lin Zhao smiled and nodded: "It's just a mere third realm."
"This aura is not like a simple three-level martial arts..." Chi Zhongyu said with complicated eyes: "In addition to sword practice, you also have to practice boxing. Don't you feel tired? How can ordinary monks have such great mental strength?
And energy consumption?”
"I've been doing it since I was a kid, so I'm used to it."
Lin Zhao once again opened a boxing stance, and his fist spirit was flowing all over his body, and he continued to practice boxing to ensure that he quickly consolidated his status as a martial artist in the third realm.
Liu Liying narrowed her beautiful eyes. In her eyes, the young master was really becoming more and more powerful.
The boat continued down the river, approaching Jiangzhou Prefecture.
Soon after, Lin Zhao sat cross-legged on the bow of the boat and began to warm up his sword spirit. The fish in the pond in the center of the boat also began to meditate to heal his wounds and warm up his sword spirit. As for Liu Liying at the stern of the boat, as a spirit sealed by heaven and earth, she
Mei didn't need to deliberately practice, so he just knelt there and looked at the river view with his beautiful eyes, exploring the waterway ahead for Lin Zhao.
late at night.
In the river there was only the sound of waves lapping against the ship's board, the stars were dim, and the evening breeze was slow. Suddenly, Lin Zhao, who had been closing his eyes to rest, opened his eyes and frowned: "Is the speed of the ship getting faster?"
"Um."
The fish in the pond stood up suddenly, looked to the east, frowned and said: "The Lingze River in this area flows north, why do we seem to be heading east at the moment?"
There was a faint sound of thunder in the sky, dark clouds were rolling, and a heavy rain was coming.
"Not good."
Lin Zhao's heart beat violently subconsciously, and he said, "The river has burst its banks!"
"what to do?"
Liu Liying raised her hand and condensed a wisp of misty spiritual energy, saying: "Sir, should we continue to go up the river, or?"
"Go down the river and have a look."
Lin Zhao narrowed his eyes and said, "Look what happened downstream."
"yes!"
Soon after, heavy rain poured down. Lin Zhao and the fish in the pond each opened a sword gang to isolate the falling rain several meters away from them, while Liu Liying waved her folding fan, and a wisp of spiritual energy enveloped her delicate body.
They also set up a ban to prevent themselves from getting wet in the heavy rain. At this time, the boat suddenly jolted and left the Lingze River, heading east along the huge current.
"The embankment of the river has been dug up."
Lin Zhao frowned: "The river embankment collapsed for thousands of meters, and this heavy rain is just adding insult to injury. Mr. Chi, what is the land to the east of this place? Is anyone inhabited?"
"..."
The fish in the pond looked extremely pale and said: "Over there are the people of several counties under the jurisdiction of Jiangzhou Prefecture. There are millions of people at least. This... the embankment of the Lingze River was just built three years ago.
The Ministry of Household Affairs allocated a huge sum of money for repairs, and the Ministry of Works personally sent people to repair them. Logically speaking, it is impossible for the river to burst its banks..."
"Then it's for people."
Lin Zhao gritted his teeth: "Let's go downstream to rescue people. This river burst will definitely drown many people."
"ah?"
The fish in the pond and Liu Liying were stunned. Natural disasters and man-made disasters, and the life and death of the people at the foot of the mountain, in fact, in the opinion of the monks on the mountain, were all caused by the will of heaven. There was no need to save them at all, and there was no need to intervene. There was always a world of flowers on the mountain.
He regarded this statement as a guideline, but Lin Zhao seemed to disagree and felt that he should be saved.
For a moment, Liu Liying felt relieved. Isn't this the kind of person Lin Zhao has been along the way? Walking in the rivers and lakes, walking on ancient roads, helping good people when they meet, and killing bad people when they meet. This is the rule in Lin Zhao's heart, although
It is different from the concept of Baihua Tianxia on the mountain, but why not?
"Li Ying."
Lin Zhao floated up, looked at Liu Liying, and said: "You drive the boat, Mr. Chi and I will go rescue people."
"Um!"
In the darkness, Liu Liying drove a small boat down the middle of the rolling torrent, while Lin Zhao stood up with his sword and rushed straight towards a village in front. In the darkness, the roofs of the houses were full of people, many common people
They were crying for help in the heavy rain, and there seemed to be many people in the water who were washed away by the flood.
Without saying a word, Lin Zhao rushed out of the Lingxu one after another with the figures of the Great Wilderness Ancient Swords. He deliberately restrained the sharpness of the Great Wilderness Ancient Swords, causing these Great Wilderness Ancient Swords to rush into the water like big herrings. According to what Lin Zhao sensed,
Using his breath, he rescued people who had even fainted from the water and placed them on rooftops or trees nearby.
Not long after, there was a loud crash not far away. It was the roof of a thatched house that collapsed under the double impact of heavy rain and floods. All the families on the roof fell into the water. The father struggled to paddle, but could not hold his daughter's hand.
, could only watch helplessly as his daughter was swept away by the flood. For a moment, the father's eyes turned red, and after a wailing cry, he rushed into the rolling flood without hesitation. In the blink of an eye, the two of them were swept away by the water and submerged.
"father!"
The boy who was covered in rain shouted at the top of his lungs. The mother on the side was holding a broken piece of wood from the beam, holding her children on the broken piece of wood, crying until her heart broke at the distant flood.
At this moment, two rays of glow fell in succession from the sky.
The water flow was too fast, and a sword cultivator in white was seen descending from the sky. He swung out a circular sword energy, covering the flood area where the father and daughter were, and then two ancient swords of the wilderness were like big herrings.
The father and daughter were lifted out of the water, and they immediately spat out the water in their mouths and escaped unharmed.
Lin Zhao used two ancient swords to send those who fell into the water back, but looking at their location, the section of the earth wall they were on was destined to be washed away by the flood. So Lin Zhao glanced in the distance and saw only one person.
The earth temple was built with bricks and tiles, so he turned around and looked at this family and said: "Hold my sword and I will take you to a safe place."
"Thank you, thank you..."
My mother burst into tears and wanted to kowtow, but her whole body was in the water and she couldn't thank the sword fairy at all.
"It's fine."
As soon as Lin Zhao raised his hand, five more Great Wilderness Ancient Swords flew out of Yunjian Lake, wrapping up all seven members of the family. Immediately, he led them towards the Earth Temple on the flying sword Hongye, but only saw one person in the Earth Temple.
An old man walked out on crutches. The water had already reached the walls of the Earth Temple. He looked at Lin Zhao in the sky and said respectfully: "The little god has seen the Sword Immortal..."
"As a god, you should protect the people, right?"
Lin Zhao put down a family and said, "I'll leave it to you."
"The little god knows what to do, thank you Sword Immortal for helping me!"
The Lord of the Earth tapped the ground with his cane, and suddenly wisps of mountain and water luck condensed, protecting the Earth Temple within it. Suddenly, no drop of water could flow into the territory of the Earth Temple.
Lin Zhao turned back, stepped on the flying sword, and once again controlled the twelve ancient swords of the wilderness and went to the depths of the forest to save people. Soon after, the Earth God saw this swordsman with unfathomable cultivation holding a child in his arms.
The little girl, who was soaked all over, dragged more than a dozen people in distress back behind her, and even used five fairy swords.
In this way, Lin Zhao went back and forth, and in the blink of an eye he had saved hundreds of people and handed them over to the hands of the land master. Basically all the people in this village were already here, and there were still some missing people who fell into the water and died. Lin Zhao was really
There was nothing he could do. When he passed through the flood with his sword and saw corpses floating on the water, he felt extremely depressed.
…
In the early morning, the rain stopped.
The sky began to light up, and a fiery red sword light fell on the bow of the ship. Lin Zhao's face was slightly pale, and he did not stop for the whole night. He did not know how many drowning people he had saved in total, but he just kept holding the sword.
, his physical strength has never exceeded 50 points, and his physical strength is extremely exhausted.
"Son..."
Liu Liying stood up, holding a folding fan in her hand, and said softly: "Let's take a rest."
"Um."
Lin Zhao took a deep breath and sat on the bow of the boat to recuperate his strength. Not long after, the fish in the pond also came back. His condition was even worse. He was already injured. After running around to save people all night, the wounds showed signs of pain again.
The blood came, and even his body swayed when he fell off the boat. He frowned and said: "In the villages to the north, most of the people who were flooded have been sent to higher places by me. It doesn't matter even if the flood is bigger."
"Um."
Lin Zhao nodded and said: "Liying, take the boat and continue downstream to see how many villages are flooded."
"Yes, sir."
…
The boat went down the river. Soon after, it was bright and even the sun came out. On the water, corpses lay across the water, which was unbearable to see. On the trees and rooftops in the distance, there were still people asking for help.
At this moment, official boats appeared in sight. There were many soldiers on the boats. An official stood on the bow of the boat, turning a blind eye to the people on both sides asking for help. On the contrary, he was talking to a group of fat-minded people behind him.
People who look like wealthy businessmen talk happily with each other.
"The purchase of fertile land in several counties west of Jiangzhou must be completed."
A wealthy businessman smiled at the corner of his mouth and said: "Master County Magistrate, our firm must purchase the remaining land first... And everyone, please don't be merciful when you lower the price, and don't show any mercy to anyone.
Raise the land price, otherwise we will be the ones who suffer in the end."
"Yes Yes Yes."
A group of businessmen nodded one after another.
…
"These beasts!"
Yu Jian's eyebrows in the pond were furrowed: "It's okay to sit on a boat as an official and not save people, but now you are thinking about how to prey on the people. How come the world is full of these wolf-hearted things!"
