After the Drunken Sword Immortal entered the Dao his cultivation soared dramatically to reach an astonishing level.
Though formidable the Moon Worshiper was severely suppressed by the Drunken Sword Immortal. Not to mention the assistance of Li Xiaoyao and the others which only made the Moon Worshiper's disadvantage even more obvious.
Whoosh!
Unleashing his powerful cultivation the Moon Worshiper waved his hand. He sent Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er flying backward.
However seizing this opportunity the Drunken Sword Immortal unleashed his sword control technique. Visibly his precious sword transformed into ninety-nine eighty-one identical blades. Under his expert control this dense rain of swords completely enveloped the Moon Worshiper.
Swish swish swish...
Although he parried many blows and repelled many others this dense rain of swords proved no easy task. Over a dozen of the remaining flying swords still slashed through the Moon Worshiper's body leaving wounds. A profuse stream of blood flowed. The Moon Worshiper looked utterly devastated.
Although he seemed to have the upper hand the Drunken Sword Immortal dared not relax for a single moment.
He knew well that fate was not easily overturned. Even though the Moon Worshiper looked utterly devastated the matter was not over until he was truly slain.
Under the combined power of sword and man the Moon Worshiper was powerless to withstand the terrifying swordplay. He was sent flying backward and tumbled miserably into the lake.
Seeing the Moon Worshiper sink into the water the Drunken Sword Immortal unleashed his sword control technique again. He transformed it into a dense rain of swords that descended from the sky.
The lake water splashed in all directions as this rain of swords truly resembled a torrential downpour.
Roar!
However at this critical moment the entire surface of the lake suddenly transformed into a massive whirlpool. Simultaneously a terrifying roar erupted from the depths shocking everyone present.
Not long after the Moon Worshiper emerged from the water again. Beneath his feet a massive serpent-like monster appeared.
"Water Monster!" Seeing this immensely powerful serpent-like monster the Drunken Sword Immortal's face darkened.
"Sure enough fate cannot be easily changed. He has actually summoned the Water Monster." Seeing the Water Monster summoned by the Moon Worshiper the Drunken Sword Immortal's heart sank.
The Water Monster was an ancient beast so powerful that even the Drunken Sword Immortal who had already entered the Dao was not completely sure he could defeat it.
"What kind of monster is this? It is so huge!" Looking at the Water Monster beneath the Moon Worshiper's feet Lin Yueru and the others were also filled with surprise.
This ancient beast looked extremely ferocious.
2410!
Alex retracted the crystal detector on his wrist but the number it revealed shocked him deeply.
This water monster was not just massive. Its body held immense energy. Judging from the situation if the water monster and the Moon Worshiper joined forces Li Xiaoyao and the others might not be a match.
"Protect the emperor and retreat!" Elder Shi's face was filled with a solemn expression as he watched the water monster emerge.
At this point in the battle the elite soldiers he had brought with him were no longer necessary. Ordinary people would be in danger even if they stayed.
As Elder Shi finished speaking the soldiers already terrified by the sight of the water monster naturally hurried to escort the emperor and retreat.
However the Nanzhao emperor was merciful. Even as he retreated he did not forget the civilians around him. He ordered the soldiers to protect them as they left.
Boom!
The power of this water monster was not simply physical strength. It also stemmed from its innate ability to control water. With a flick of its massive tail a monstrous wave erupted from the lake. It was a force far more terrifying than the waves of the deepest ocean.
The massive waves packed with the force of billions of tons crashed down upon Li Xiaoyao and his companions.
Faced with such a powerful surge even the Drunken Sword Immortal was forced to temporarily avoid its impact. He was secretly awed by the water monster's power.
Naturally Li Xiaoyao and his companions quickly retreated as well.
However Liu Jinyuan's training had been relatively short. While his swordsmanship was exceptional his cultivation of the Sacred Heart Art was still relatively young. Therefore facing the onslaught of billions of tons of water Liu Jinyuan had no chance to display his swordsmanship.
He retreated but it was too late. He could only watch helplessly as a massive wave as tall as four or five stories crashed down upon him.
"It is over..." Liu Jinyuan muttered to himself. Looking up at the waves as high as four or five stories he felt certain death approaching.
Suddenly a ring of fire appeared beneath Liu Jinyuan's feet. It was Alex's teleportation magic.
Liu Jinyuan then plummeted through space. When he reappeared he found himself back in the Lin Family Fort in Suzhou City.
The one who saved Liu Jinyuan was naturally Alex who had remained silent throughout. Seeing Liu Jinyuan in danger Alex finally took action.
"Brother Xiaoyao I am going to fight with all my might!" Zhao Ling'er was silent for a moment. She witnessed the overwhelming power of the water monster. Then after a brief pause she spoke to Li Xiaoyao.
As she spoke Zhao Ling'er's form shifted dramatically. Her demeanor transformed. Simultaneously a long serpent's tail formed from her waist down. As a descendant of Nuwa Zhao Ling'er had revealed her true Nuwa form.
Li Xiaoyao nodded heavily. He took a deep breath and began to cast the Dionysus Curse.
This was the strongest technique that the Drunken Sword Immortal had passed down to him before entering the Demon Locking Tower that day. Although it could only be cast nine times in a lifetime Li Xiaoyao felt that now was the best time for him to cast the Dionysus Curse.
"Man and sword become one!" The Drunken Sword Immortal did not waste any words. He also knew that this was the critical moment. A powerful force surged. Drawing the power between heaven and earth to gather within himself he soared into the air. He transformed into a huge lightsaber again and slashed toward the water monster.
Roar!
However at this moment the water monster roared and opened its bloody mouth. Immediately a condensed water column spewed out of its mouth and slammed toward the Drunken Sword Immortal and the others.
The highly concentrated and compressed water column carried a terrifying force. The power of this water column was enough to collapse a small mountain.
