I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 189 - 4: Hitting Faces, Cutting Down Egos (1/3)
"These... aren’t ordinary Cannibal Fish?"
Fortunately, whether it’s due to nature or simply not noticing Lord Tingyao’s reaction...
Qiwa stared in shock at the gap in the blade, his mouth agape in surprise.
This knife wasn’t an ordinary iron tool; it was given to Qiwa by Li Boyang for self-defense while traveling.
Tempered with Evil Qi, the blade was exceptionally sharp and unusually durable.
Qiwa often used it to cut through rocks without seeing it get a nick.
Yet now, a single bite from the Cannibal Fish carved a large gap out of it.
"These are certainly not ordinary Cannibal Fish."
Since he was already exposed, Lord Tingyao decided not to hide anymore.
"Kid, you sure hit the jackpot..."
"The mastermind behind this great flood finally couldn’t hold back and started targeting the Hundred Lands Mountain Range."
"I had planned to pretend to be injured and leave here with you..."
"Who would’ve thought you’d be so reckless and charge straight in."
"What we’re about to face now is the real tough opponent."
With a helpless sigh, Lord Tingyao reached to tug at the God-Binding Rope around his neck.
If it weren’t for this thing limiting his power.
As a Mountain God, Lord Tingyao wouldn’t fear these small fries at all.
Not to mention these small fries—even the Gods commanding them to ambush him might not be of any concern to Lord Tingyao.
"Are you talking about... him?"
Looking afar, Qiwa suddenly pointed at the waves rushing towards the dam.
At the crest of the wave, a Deity with the body of a fish and a snake’s tail was surfing the waves, and faintly, you could see the ferocious, rampant laughter on its face.
"Running into you is truly unfortunate for me."
Recognizing the Water God at a glance, Lord Tingyao’s eyes widened in astonishment.
"Tian Wu!"
"When did you join the Water Ape’s camp?"
Faced with Lord Tingyao’s loud shout.
The Water God named "Tian Wu" was initially taken aback, then noticed the Mountain God with a human body and four arms by the dam.
"Lord Tingyao?"
"Did the Mountain Prophet capture you back?"
After briefly pausing at the God-Binding Rope, Tian Wu immediately mocked Lord Tingyao mercilessly.
"Who would’ve thought the proud and arrogant Lord Tingyao would be driven by mere mortals he looks down upon."
As the saying goes, insult the face when fighting, insult the shortcoming when arguing.
With just one remark, Tian Wu had enflamed Lord Tingyao, who was considering how to reason with him, and made him burst out in curses.
"Tian Wu, you’re nothing but a double-dealing turncoat, how dare you speak ill of me?"
"At least I parleyed a few rounds with the Mountain Prophet, unlike you, who immediately bows down to the Water Ape as soon as you see him, coward!"
"Anyone who doesn’t know would think you’re the Water Ape’s grandson!"
The same remark spurred Tian Wu’s anger as well.
Thus, over the next few minutes.
The verbal battle between Lord Tingyao and Tian Wu left Qiwa wide-eyed and flushed.
Innocent by nature, Qiwa realized for the first time that there were so many ways to insult someone without using foul language.
It was far more outrageous than the arguments between village women, and every word was a direct attack on the adversary’s character.
...........................
From the villagers’ perspective, from Lord Tingyao’s appearance to Tian Wu riding the wave.
The whole process seemed lengthy, but it actually happened within just a few short minutes, and the two collided in a terrifying manner.
Boom!
Despite Lord Tingyao standing at the forefront.
The massive wave’s aftershocks still forced the villagers near the dam to lower themselves as much as possible.
Even the original efforts to reinforce the dam were significantly slowed by the flood peak.
During this process, the villagers could still hear the ongoing shouting match between Lord Tingyao and Tian Wu.
Not even the howling wind, torrential rain, and waves could drown it out.
"Coward!"
"Grandson!"
...
Amidst the continuous exchange of curses from both sides, Lord Tingyao finally demonstrated the strong presence befitting his status as a Mountain God.
His four muscular arms bulged with veins, and his body’s muscles were as hard as rock...
When the Cannibal Fish clashed with Lord Tingyao again.
Let alone continuing to gnaw at his flesh and blood, some of the overly forceful Cannibal Fish even broke their sharp teeth.
"Were you holding back too much earlier?"
Seeing this, Qiwa, who was about to rush in to help, immediately widened his eyes.
If he had known Lord Tingyao had this hidden card all along.
Qiwa wouldn’t have rashly rushed forward to help.
But now, standing on Lord Tingyao’s shoulder, not only was he unable to contribute, but he also had to cling tightly to avoid being thrown into the torrent.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After a few rounds of such exchanges, Tian Wu noticed Qiwa on Lord Tingyao’s shoulder.
"Haha, you really have fallen!"
"Let’s see how long you can protect that human!"
Raising another wave, Tian Wu, with his fish body and snake tail, focused his attack on Qiwa.
Rumble...
The raging waves transformed into a vortex, and the frenzied whirlpool swept across the river.
Lord Tingyao, caught off guard, stumbled forward.
The Qiwa on his shoulder had no chance to react and was flung into the swarm of Cannibal Fish.
"Kid!"
Lord Tingyao’s pupils contracted sharply, instinctively reaching out to grasp Qiwa.
Prepared for this, Tian Wu rode the wave, his massive snake body instantly ensnaring Lord Tingyao.
"Lord Tingyao, I am your opponent now!"
Sharp fangs emerged from the fish’s mouth, and Tian Wu bit into Lord Tingyao’s arm.
Rip...
The arm, harder than stone, was torn open.
Profuse blood gushed out like a floodgate into the river.
With such a scene, the pained Lord Tingyao didn’t scream like at the start but instead viciously clamped down on Tian Wu’s head.
"Tian Wu, you’re courting death!"
His entire muscle mass bulged again, with roots like old trees surfacing...
Even without divine power,
this body possessed the might to move mountains and invert peaks.
Tian Wu seeking to provoke Lord Tingyao by exposing itself to his attack range proved to be the worst decision of his life.
"Ah!"
Thus, as Lord Tingyao exerted his strength, it was Tian Wu’s turn to wail and scream.
The villagers on the dam witnessed this scene.
Momentarily, they didn’t know whether to grieve for Qiwa falling into the water or to be thrilled by Lord Tingyao’s advantage.
As for Lord Tingyao himself?
He paid no heed to the mortals’ gazes, fixated solely on obliterating Tian Wu’s fish head.
