Chapter 181: Chapter 97: Blessed Land, Sect_3

Xuan Le’s little face instantly turned pale.

Xuan Kong was immediately startled, then his vestment robe fluttered without the wind and a broken magic artifact—a flying sword, fell into his palm. His body was suddenly filled with surging mana, ready to leave the cabin.

“Elder brother, don’t go!”

Xuan Le grabbed Xuan Kong’s sleeve in panic, her voice filled with anxiety and fear.

Xuan Kong remained calm and said soothingly:

“It’s okay, it’s just a river-patrolling ferocious monster.”

Xuan Kong swiftly left the cabin, and the many passengers on the ship were in an uproar. The cabin was filled with screams, wails, and curses.

If it weren’t for the Aquatic Tribe in the waves around the ship, people would have already jumped off the cruise ship in panic.

Faced with the nearby monster tribe, there was no difference between nobles and civilians, who were usually above others.

And on both sides of the ship’s rail, some small monsters of the Aquatic Tribe had already started to climb onto the ship.

Xuan Kong instantly crossed his heart, activated the Art of Levitation to ascend to the sky, pointed his flying sword in his palm at the river-patrolling monster in front of him and reprimanded :

“Which evil creature dares to run wild within the territory of the Human Clan?”

The gigantic river-patrolling ferocious monster scanned Xuan Kong with its crimson eyes and couldn’t help but swallow saliva, saying with a hint of surprise:

“A human cultivator?”

As the words fell, the huge palm of the river-patrolling monster reached out towards Xuan Kong.

“Bastard!”

Xuan Kong made a spell with his hand, the Spiritual Power Patterns on his robe lit up, and several huge fireballs were thrown at the river-patrolling monster from the void.

“Fireball Spell?”

The river-patrolling ferocious monster scoffed, and the huge waves beneath it swallowed the fireballs. The explosion of the fireballs failed to break the surging waves, and its gigantic palm covered with scale armor had already reached Xuan Kong.

However, it didn’t notice that the broken flying sword in Xuan Kong’s hand had already disappeared.

“Slash!”

The crisp sound of the sword’s hum echoed from the waves. The broken flying sword, carrying the omnipresent sword qi, hid in the surging waves and slashed towards the river-patrolling monster along with the surge of the waves.

The gigantic palm covered with scale armor slapped Xuan Kong’s body, smashing him into the deck. His body cracked, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

If it were not for the remaining defensive power of his robe, just this one hit would have crushed his body.

Meanwhile, on the surface of the waves, the river-patrolling monster stared dazedly at the broken flying sword lodged into its throat. The ferocious glow in its eyes gradually faded.

“Boom!”

The gigantic body fell into the river, drowned with the surging waves.

The small monsters of the Aquatic Tribe outside the cruise ship fled in panic the moment the river-patrolling ferocious monster died. The surface of the wide river was calm once again.

Struggling to stand up from the shattered deck, Xuan Le rushed over to support Xuan Kong, nearly in tears.

“I told you not to show off.”

Xuan Kong secretly swallowed a mouthful of surging blood, smiled, and waved his hand, saying hoarsely:

“It’s okay, I…”

“Okay? Who said it’s okay?”

The ship captain, dressed in uniform, hurried out of the cockpit, his clothes all messed up as if he had just gotten out of bed.

Seeing Xuan Kong spitting blood, the captain asked:

“Where did that river-patrolling monster go?”

Xuan Kong smiled and bowed to the captain, saying: “That monster has been killed by me. Demon-Exterminating Guardian Path is the obligation of our kind.”

Xuan Le quickly said, “No need for thanks, hurry and ask the ship doctor to check my elder brother’s injuries.”

However, the captain’s face was completely vacant at this time.

“Killed, it was killed?”

“It’s over, it’s completely over!”

“The river-patrolling monster of Cang Province, that must be the Tax Officer under the command of the Sunn Family. All ships sailing on the River Ji have to give up a tenth of their wealth to avoid disaster.”

“You killed the Tax Officer, all of us on this ship can’t escape!”

Right now, the captain suddenly looked towards the river bank, and yelled towards the cockpit:

“Dock, dock immediately and leave the River Ji!”

“Leave? It’s too late!”
