Zhang Yongxu fell silent, looking at the panicked villagers around him. An unbearable look appeared in his eyes, but he remembered Elder Ma's words, and refrained from speaking. He waved his hand and told everyone to get back on the carriage.
Yang Ze and others stood there. They all heard what Elder Ma said. They all remained silent and did not answer. They just followed Zhang Yongxu's order and turned back to get in the car.
After returning to the carriage, Bai Lun looked at Yang Ze, as if he wanted to say something, but Yang Ze stopped him.
"It's better not to say some things. We don't know anything anyway. It's what we should do to keep quiet." This was what Yang Ze said to Bai Lun.
Bai Lun endured it and said nothing. At this time, Lu Qing kept looking out the window, wondering what he was thinking.
The three of them fell silent, and the carriage continued to move, heading towards the exit of Qinjialing. Behind the carriage, at the village gate, the remaining villagers watched the convoy leave eagerly, and some of them knelt down.
Come down and beg them to stay and help them.
However, the Wuyang Wuyuan people in the carriage seemed to have not heard them at all. No one answered them. Only the carriage continued to drive forward, gradually disappearing...
Yang Ze watched the scenery outside the window constantly changing, and this incident also sounded a warning for him.
The Tianwu Dynasty does not look like a peaceful and prosperous age at all. Wuyang Wuyuan is a martial arts academy under the imperial court, but it does not care about the life and death of the people at the bottom at all.
In this dynasty that still has heretics, there are also frictions between the world and the court, and the lives of the people at the bottom are very difficult.
Only with strong strength can you protect yourself. In this world, no one is more reliable than yourself.
Yang Ze subconsciously felt the black stone on his chest. In this world, perhaps only the black stone could help him become a strong man.
…
One day later, the convoy stopped again. At this time, they were hundreds of miles away from Yuyang City.
Yang Ze heard a loud noise outside in the carriage, opened the window and looked outside, and saw a river not far away crossing his line of sight.
The river rushes out from the upper reaches and rushes downstream, like a silvery-white horse running past with the surging river water.
"This is... Chuiyu River!" Lu Qing exclaimed.
"In recent years, I have traveled around with Master, and I came to the Chuiyu River three years ago. No matter when I look at the Chuiyu River again, it is always so shocking." Lu Qing sighed.
The Yuiyu River in front of them was several miles wide, dividing the two banks. The river rolled up waves, blocking their steps.
Before Zhang Yongxu could give the order, everyone got off the carriage. No matter who they were, it was rare for them to see Yuyujiang once. The sight in front of them attracted them all at once.
"The Chuiyu River is one of the two major rivers in our Quanyang Prefecture. The entire Chuiyu River is thousands of miles long and passes through the boundaries of many cities. Along the Chuiyu River, we can reach the capital city of our Quanyang Prefecture."
Zhang Yongxu also came down at this time. Standing on the bank of the Yuyu River, even though he was a second-grade warrior, he felt how insignificant he was.
"We came by boat when we came here. There is a pier and an inn here. Our boat should still be here. Let's go." As Ye Yingling spoke, she led everyone out.
The group of people marched over and returned the carriage to the inn. When they arrived at the dock, there was only one big ship here.
Seeing the big ship, Wu Yong pointed to it and shouted loudly: "Yes, that's right, this is the big ship we came on. With this ship here, we can go to Fucheng."
No one stopped the people from Wuyang Wuyuan from traveling. They all boarded the boat in batches. But at this time, Yang Ze finally saw another group of people from Wuyang Wuyuan.
Sure enough, as Lu Qing said, there were many people from Wuyang Martial Academy this time. Only some of them showed up for the assessment, and some of them had not been seen by them until now.
However, the other group of people seemed to be outer disciples, but they were in the same group as Wu Yong and others, and they maintained respect for Zhang Yongxu and Ye Yingling.
But these things have nothing to do with Yang Ze and the others. They, the registered disciples who have not yet officially entered the class, can only follow the arrangement and board the deck obediently.
After everyone arrived, the big ship left the dock and sailed towards the upper reaches of the Yuyu River.
There seemed to be nothing unusual about this ship except that it was a little bigger, but Yang Ze could feel that the speed of this ship was very fast, and it was no less impressive than the cruise ships in his previous life.
I couldn't help but secretly sigh in my heart. It seems that this world where martial arts flourishes has some differences that cannot be compared with the previous life.
Standing on the deck, Yang Ze began to appreciate the scenery along the coast. This was the first time he had seen a river in this world, and he could just see if there was any difference.
No matter how beautiful the scenery is, you will feel tired after seeing it too much. The ship has sailed forward for two hundred miles, and many people have already felt bored and want to go into the cabin to rest.
The same goes for Yang Ze. If he sees too much scenery, he will always get tired. Now he also wants to find a place to rest and use the black stone to recover his body.
But before they could leave the deck, the entire river suddenly calmed down. There were no waves at all, and the silence was a bit scary.
The large ship that was originally moving quickly stopped when the river surface calmed down. Many disciples who were originally staying in the cabin had all come out at this time.
"What's going on? Why did the boat stop?" Wu Yong rushed out. He felt something abnormal as soon as the boat stopped.
Not only him, but also everyone else. Everyone couldn't help but focus on Zhang Yongxu and Ye Yingling at this time.
Zhang Yongxu looked at this strange scene and was about to open his mouth to speak when the water around the ship suddenly exploded. Several water jets shot out and exploded around the ship, forming an impact force that swept towards the ship.
deck.
Zhang Yongxu and Ye Yingling's eyes changed, and they stood up at the same time. Their energy and blood burst out, and they used their full strength to form a layer of protection, covering the ship.
Just as the protection was formed, the shock wave hit the protection. The two forces collided and the protection tore apart, but it also blocked the shock wave.
"Roar!"
After the water column exploded, a roar came from the river surface. The originally calm river surface suddenly stirred up waves, hitting the hull of the ship, causing the ship to rock continuously.
When he saw that the big ship was about to capsize, a cold snort came from inside the big ship, and the rocking ship froze in an instant. No matter how the waves hit it, it could not shake the big ship.
"Despicable humans, leave my beast clan crystals behind, I will spare your lives!"
A rough voice echoed on the river. Circles of ripples spread quickly on the river. A black spot appeared in the center of the ripples. The river water spread out in all directions, and a huge black python appeared in front of everyone.
This black python speaks human words, and the words just spoken were exactly what this black python shouted.
"The psychic beast, no, I don't know what level of psychic beast it is!" Zhang Yongxu exclaimed when he saw the black python.
Yang Ze was looking at the black giant python at the moment. The half of the giant python's body exposed to the river was seven or eight feet long. It was covered with pitch-black scales. Even from a distance, one could feel the giant python's body.
The cold aura emanating from it seemed to be able to freeze people.
"Such ferocious beasts still exist in this world!" Yang Ze was shocked. He never expected that he knew so little about this world. The black python that appeared in front of him exuded such a sense of oppression.
, it is simply not comparable to any warrior he has ever seen.
"The fourth-level psychic ferocious beast is rare among ferocious beasts. I didn't expect you to be hiding in this section of the Yuyujiang River." Elder Ma stood beside Zhang Yongxu. As soon as he appeared, a wave of waves erupted from his body.
It emanated from the body, offsetting most of the pressure caused by the giant python.
"Humans, leave behind the crystals of alien beasts. I will let you go today, otherwise, you will all be buried here!" The black python uttered human words, and the half of its body under the water surface suddenly swept away. The waves on the river broke out and rolled up to the big ship.
Came over.
Elder Ma's eyes flashed, and the majestic power of Qi and blood emanated from his body. He slapped out a palm, and all the waves that swept over him were scattered by this palm, turning into water droplets and falling into the river.
"Don't forget, who is the master of this Jiuzhou land? If you dare to show up today, I will take advantage of you!" Elder Ma shouted, stood up from the ground, clapped his right hand, and a big hand appeared in the air.
, and patted the black python.
The black python watched the big hand slapping it down with disdain in its eyes. With a flash of its eyes, circles of ripples appeared above its forehead. As soon as the big hand collided with the ripples, they automatically dissipated.
Elder Ma's body was still in the air, and the attack failed to work. When he was about to strike again, the black python roared, and the river flowed out, wrapping up Elder Ma's position.
Forming a seal on his hands, Elder Ma pushed out his hands suddenly, and a balloon shot out from his hand and exploded, blowing back all the rolled up river water.
Boom boom boom!
The surface of the river exploded continuously, Elder Ma's body stood in the air, the black python opened its mouth, and a black light shot out from the mouth, shooting towards Elder Ma.
This black light was extremely fast, and it arrived in front of Elder Ma in the blink of an eye. Elder Ma had a stern look on his face, and formed a seal with his left hand. A huge fist appeared behind him, and collided with the black light.
There was a loud bang, an explosion occurred, and a shock wave swept out from the sky. Elder Ma's body was hit by the shock wave and swept onto the river. His feet scraped against the river and he was thrown hundreds of feet away.
After barely keeping his body still, Elder Ma looked ugly and said: "You have reached the peak of the fourth level!"
"Hahaha, human race, even if you still have some respect, with your cultivation in the late stage of the fourth-grade Guiyi realm, you are no match for me. I will give you one last chance. Hand over the alien beast crystal and I will spare your life."
The black python was not in a hurry to take action, but only threatened Elder Ma.
"It seems that you are not so confident. So what if you are at the fourth level peak? If you want to take me down, you will have to pay a huge price." Elder Ma laughed and rushed out again, like a cannonball.
Towards the black python.
"You still dare to be so arrogant in my territory. I want to see if you can really make me pay a huge price."
The black python roared out, and its huge body swam in the river, setting off a stormy sea, and fought fiercely with Elder Ma.
As soon as the two sides started to fight, a ten-mile radius instantly became a battlefield. Powerful waves spread out, and the ship swayed more and more violently on the river, looking like it might capsize at any time.
Elder Ma kept changing his palms and fists as he fought fiercely with the black python. However, the black python's scales were so strong that Elder Ma's attacks occasionally landed on them without leaving any injuries.
On the contrary, the black python's attack was very powerful. Every time it hit the black light, Elder Ma had to resist it with all his strength, not daring to be hit by the black light.
After a hundred moves, Elder Ma's energy obviously fluctuated, and he was half a step too slow in his attack. As a result, the python's tail came over and he couldn't dodge. His body was hit and he flew away.
"If you don't hand over the alien beast crystal, you will become my food!" The black python roared out, opened its mouth, and the water in a radius of ten miles boiled, and swallowed it in the direction where Elder Ma fell.
As a result, just when it was about to meet Elder Ma, the black python paused, opened its mouth and sucked in, and the river water condensed in its mouth, turning into a water column and blasting towards the back.
The water column blasted out, and an old man in black clothes behind the black python was hit head-on by the water column, but no flesh and blood appeared. Instead, the old man in black clothes dissipated like a bubble.
"Phantom!" The power of the black python was released, water columns rushed out from the river, and the river surface within a radius of ten miles became its weapon.
As the water jets kept blasting out, old men in black appeared around the black python, nearly a hundred of them.
These old men in black were constantly moving, some were scattered by the water column, and some were moving at high speed, avoiding the attack of the black python.
"No wonder you have the confidence to go against me. It turns out that you have more than one fourth-grade Guiyi Realm, but this person's cultivation level doesn't seem to be as good as yours. What's the use of having one more!"
The black python was enraged by the black-clothed old man's constant dodging. Black light appeared on the scales on his body. The surface of the Shili River was pulled by the black light, lifted up directly, and suddenly exploded.
The explosion on the river surface triggered a powerful destructive force. All the phantoms of the old man in black were destroyed by this destructive force, revealing his true body. His withered hands drew a circle in front of him, forming a shield, and the
The destructive force collided together.
