You dare to cultivate without money?!-Chapter 685 - 620: Ten Thousand Sword Qi Surges to Ling Xiao, Cleaving Chaos to Reveal Clear Skies
Meanwhile, someone shouted, "Ying Zhoufan has entered the water."
"He has a dragon form with the Heavenly Demon’s transformations, his speed underwater should be remarkable..."
"Remarkable? It’s almost catching up to Jiutian Liu, right?"
...
Amidst the sound of rushing water.
The giant dragon transformed by Ying Zhoufan twisted underwater, and the water current behind him seemed to turn into hundreds of small hands, pushing him forward madly.
While the water ahead appeared to welcome him, under his will, naturally dispersed to the sides, not daring to offer the slightest obstruction.
With his dragon form as the basis, a high-speed tunnel seemed to form underwater, continually accelerating him, faster and faster.
The dragon passed by with a mighty rumble, sweeping waves of mud and sand, surging in every direction.
"Faster! Faster! Faster! Faster! Faster!"
Ying Zhoufan let out a dragon roar and his twisting dragon form accelerated once more.
Having waited onshore for a long time, his anger and battle intent had long boiled over.
At this moment, he had only one thought: accelerate to catch up with Zhang Yu! Then stomp that scum mercilessly underfoot.
Roar!
Upon reaching the first registration area, Ying Zhoufan let out a dragon roar, causing countless schools of fish to stir excitedly in the water, becoming his senses, sweeping over the entire region, quickly discovering a registration sphere.
Having completed the registration, Ying Zhoufan roared and once again sped forward.
8th place!
7th place!
6th place!
One contender after another was left behind, and the excitement in Ying Zhoufan’s eyes grew.
"Scum! Scum! Scum!"
"All useless scum!"
Thus, he sprinted wildly all the way, accelerating with all his might, until two-thirds of the race was over, and Ying Zhoufan had already reached 4th place.
"Only Jiutian Liu in 1st place, Yu Yunzhan in 2nd place, and Zhang Yu in 3rd place are ahead..."
"Two-thirds of the race has gone by, and I haven’t caught up with him?"
Ying Zhoufan thought to himself, "Is this guy that fast?"
As Ying Zhoufan’s heart gradually grew angry, he finally caught sight of Zhang Yu not far ahead.
"Got you."
With Ying Zhoufan’s dragon roar, columns of water rose up, transforming into underwater whirlwinds that attacked Zhang Yu’s position.
"Hmm?" Zhang Yu’s gaze sharpened, and the water around him expanded fiercely, blocking the invading water tornado.
But simultaneously, his speed slowed down, forcing him to turn around and look at the approaching Ying Zhoufan.
Hu Yuntao: "Little beast!"
Zhang Yu: "You’re here? I’ve been waiting for you."
Ying Zhoufan: "Scum, keep talking tough while you can."
As he spoke, Ying Zhoufan had already caught up with the slowing Zhang Yu like lightning, then opened his mouth, and a sphere had already been hurled violently toward Zhang Yu.
With a loud explosion, Zhang Yu was pushed back by the sphere, only to see a second sphere being spat out from Ying Zhoufan’s mouth.
"Military level Magic Treasure: Mountain and River Pearl." The information about the treasure flashed in Zhang Yu’s mind as he thought, "A treasure capable of storing large amounts of water and altering its own weight."
"Usually used to transport valuable liquid processed products."
"In combat, it’s used to... smash people."
The set of Mountain and River Pearls consisted of 18 spheres, and as Ying Zhoufan spat them out one by one, each strike’s power grew increasingly terrifying.
His dragon form constantly changed, bursting forth with various abilities.
But what surprised Ying Zhoufan was that Zhang Yu displayed even greater strength than in the previous match.
Without any array support, he raised wave after wave and sword shadows, directly confronting and taking all of his attacks head-on.
As their battle intensified, Zhang Yu’s clothes tore apart, revealing armor beneath.
"Green Water Gold Crystal Armor?"
Ying Zhoufan raised an eyebrow, recalling Zhang Yu’s information.
"Wasn’t it said that this armor wasn’t completed yet? No wonder he can raise such giant waves underwater."
"Previously, his overall strength was at most medium among all contestants, but now it’s already at the upper level."
"Seems like the popularity and momentum he earned from the last match propelled his strength upward again."
Thinking of this, Ying Zhoufan’s gaze toward Zhang Yu grew increasingly greedy as if he wished to crush him completely to absorb a large amount of popularity himself.
Seeing Zhang Yu turn to run, Ying Zhoufan shouted, "Don’t even think about escaping!"
Yet the two fought and moved, grappling fiercely in the struggle. Despite unleashing all 18 Mountain and River Pearls and deploying another military level Magic Treasure, Demon Summoning Banner, manipulating numerous Demon Descendant Soul Cultivators to attack, Ying Zhoufan still couldn’t do anything against Zhang Yu.
This made Ying Zhoufan’s heart gradually frown: "Not good, wasting too much time on this guy. How am I supposed to compete like this? Others behind are catching up."
At that moment, Ying Zhoufan suddenly sensed a surge of mana within Zhang Yu, causing the surrounding seawater to vibrate vigorously.
With the impetus of Seven Extremes Magic Remains, supported by the reversed Kunlun Chain Technique Map, Zhang Yu’s Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power broke through to unprecedented limits, exploded with fury, and spread out beneath him.
In the artificial sea, rocks and gravel surged, countless rock layers either rose or sank.
Ying Zhoufan’s expression slightly changed at this sight: "No... not water, but the earth."
Feeling the changes in the water’s spiritual mechanism, Ying Zhoufan was even more shocked: "Where did this array come from?"
"And here is..."
Only then did Ying Zhoufan realize, during his relentless battle and pursuit with Zhang Yu, they had inadvertently arrived at the next registration area.
"When did he set up an array here?"
Zhang Yu didn’t speak, naturally not telling him that shortly after setting off, he began breeding monsters and sending them to scout and build at the next registration areas.
Zhang Yu thought to himself: "This stage of underwater racing requires us to circle the entire artificial sea, the start and finish are relatively close."
"So shortly after entering the arena, I sent monsters to the next few registration areas."
"Compared to me, who needs to circle the field, monsters can arrive earlier and even complete basic construction."
"Once I arrived here, the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power completed the remaining large-scale work..."
Stepping forward, Zhang Yu was already standing on a rock layer that had risen from the ground.
"Array, activate!"
In the next moment, surging spiritual mechanism gathered towards Zhang Yu.
The entire area’s terrain surfaced in his mind.
Zhang Yu waved his hand to grab from a distance, hundreds of stone columns were pulled up from the earth with Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power.
Then with the operation of Earthly Catastrophe’s Intuitive Mind Weapons, starting from the rock layer beneath Zhang Yu’s feet, the entire area radiated with spiritual light, beginning temporary transformation into magic treasure.
The stone columns glowed with coldness, like flying swords, aimed at Ying Zhoufan’s position.
A chill rose in his heart, Ying Zhoufan attempted to retreat, yet sensed the sword intent had locked him, precisely Taihao Moral Sword Intent.
"Ten Thousand Dao Sword Qi charges at Ling Xiao, cuts through chaos to see the blue sky..."
Seeing the projection of these words above Zhang Yu’s head, Ying Zhoufan felt even colder: "Is it an advertisement from the Ten Thousand Dao Craftsman Sect? A named move? He’s preparing a killer move!"
Ying Zhoufan’s dragon form flickered intensely, but the sword intent held him fast, hard to shake off.
Intense water waves surged from Ying Zhoufan’s form, as Zhang Yu prepared for what the opponent might unleash. Yet he heard a voice transmitted through the water.
"Zhang Yu, how about we join forces?"
Ying Zhoufan: "With your Green Water Gold Crystal Armor coupled with the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power, teaming with my dragon form and military level magic remains, we can achieve top speed in the race."
Sensing Zhang Yu’s doubt, Ying Zhoufan continued to transmit through water waves in a manner hard to record: "Discrimination against Demon Descendants is just a ploy to gain popularity and fool the poor, you wouldn’t take it seriously, would you?"
