A big hole opened in the bottom of the boat, and the river water poured in. In a moment, it was already up to the knees.
Without any hesitation, Lao Daohanzi opened his arms slightly, and his figure was like a meteor flashing across the night sky. He suddenly flew into the water and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Although the floor beneath Zhao Qing had also shattered, she did not sink into the water immediately.
Taking a deep breath, she touched the water with her feet and suddenly jumped more than ten feet high.
In the blink of an eye, he pulled out a piece of silk thread from the cuff, connected it to an embroidery needle, then quickly threw it out, drew a curve, wrapped it around Jin Jiuling on the cabinet several times, and finally put the thread into Shaman's hand. in hand.
He Shangshu, Xiao Hu and others were anxiously looking for a way out, trying to grab a large wooden object before the ship sank, relying on its buoyancy to avoid being sucked into the water by the whirlpool.
The huge whirlpool created when a large ship sinks is such that even the best masters may not be able to escape by relying on human power alone. However, at the current speed of entering the water, both Zhao Qing and Shaman are sure to escape to the shore before sinking.
Especially Zhao Qing, with her lightness skills, even though she was at the bottom of the boat, she could return to the river bank in just two lifts.
However, she did not make the slightest move to escape. Instead, she looked at the water inlet like a spring, and then jumped down and followed the old knife handle into the water.
Are Mu Tao people good at water fighting? Deliberately flooding the ship to create an environment favorable to him?
The moment Zhao Qing entered the water, he was alert and thinking secretly.
Wouldn't it be in vain if I didn't follow down, but left and returned to shore? All I can say is that his understanding of people's hearts is indeed very accurate, and he saw my strong desire to have a showdown.
Fighting in the water was an unprecedented experience, but it aroused Zhao Qing's curiosity and desire to win.
However, it was normal for Wu Ming, who lived on the island, to be good at water fighting, but Mu Taoist was actually good at this, which was beyond her expectation.
In fact, Mu Daoren's water fighting skills came from Yu Huan, one of the six island owners whose reputation was second only to the Lord of Baiyun City among the swordsmen in the South China Sea in the past.
"Master of Flying Fish Island" is not only famous in the seven seas, but also famous in the martial arts world of the Central Plains. Not only is his aquatic ability extremely high, but his swordsmanship is also not weak.
Many people believe that on land, Lord Baiyun is a world-famous swordsman, but in the water, he is definitely not as good as Yu Huan.
However, Lao Daobaozi, who had learned Yu Huan's Kung Fu, judged that he could defeat the combined efforts of ten Yu Huan underwater, which was consistent with his situation on land.
…
Under the water, the field of vision suddenly became pitch black, and even the stars and moon could no longer be seen.
With Zhao Qing's skill at this time, he could see things in the dark as if it were daytime, but now it was not just the night, but also the deep water in the dark night, which was much darker than the surface of the water.
She stared intently and could only barely see clearly the situation a few feet in front of her. Even further away, there was a turbid and dim area, quite like a lake.
However, the average vision effect does not mean that Zhao Qing has lost his underwater perception. Hearing, touch, and every ripple of water conveyed a large amount of information to her.
Hua Manlou lost his sight when he was young. Being in the darkness, he developed an amazing sense of hearing and touch. He has touched the hair of two different people and can feel the difference.
Regarding such a magical ability, Zhao Qing also asked him about it when he had time, studied it, and learned some related techniques.
With her deeper skills, if she could draw a picture using the information she sensed after closing her eyes, her resolution might not be as high as that of Huamanlou, but she would be able to see many more distant objects.
One is thinner and the other is farther. This is the difference between depth and breadth.
It was also because he had practiced this ability that Zhao Qing had enough confidence to fight Lao Daobaozi underwater.
…
Yun used his internal energy to counteract the suction of the hole in the bottom of the boat above to the water body. Zhao Qing passed through the river like a silver arrow, silently sensing the current, searching for traces of the old knife handle.
It stands to reason that if the other party takes the initiative to dive and invite a fight, they will naturally pay attention to the situation and direction of entering the water.
Sure enough, in the darkness, there was a sudden flash of sword light, just like the wrath of thunder and the power of lightning, but it was faster and more terrifying than lightning.
The long whip in Lao Dao's handle broke through the undercurrents and suddenly shuttled towards Zhao Qing.
Under the water, the bamboo hat he originally used to cover his face had been washed away by the current. There is no doubt that this kind of object with huge water resistance is not suitable for water battles.
About three feet away, Zhao Qing finally saw the true face of the old knife handle, and saw his extremely serious and focused expression and a pair of shining eyes.
Of course the old sword handler is Mu Taoist, and Zhao Qing naturally recognizes him. Just a few days ago, she met Master Balsam Pear at his residence.
Mu Taoren has also recognized Zhao Qing's identity.
After diving into the water, the materials originally used to disguise her face were also washed away, and she did not use internal power to protect her.
Once these things similar to glue are immersed in water and spread out, the effect will be greatly reduced immediately, and it cannot be covered for much time.
From this aspect, methods such as human skin masks should be better disguises, but Zhao Qing is still not used to it.
Although they recognized each other's identities, the two of them did not slow down at all, and even went up half a point faster.
Seeing the black gold whip getting closer and closer, Zhao Qing reached out with his left arm, flexed and flicked his five fingers, and several strands of soft and powerful sword energy merged into the water and rushed towards the whip body!
At the moment when the sword energy and the whip body intersected, the front of the long whip was actually covered with a layer of solid ice, making it slow down a little. However, Zhao Qing used his cold internal energy to pass a long whip into the water. Within the whip.
Just hearing a dull sound of water, Mu Taoist's long whip suddenly retracted, and the ice disappeared instantly. It was obvious that he used pure Yang internal energy to heat and melt it.
His person sank deeper into the water, his long whip shining in the darkness, hiding his figure in the flashing sword light.
In this dark, eyesightless world underwater, just the right amount of sword energy can completely confuse people's perception, thus affecting the outcome of a battle.
Therefore, after sensing for a moment, Zhao Qing also dived down.
And the moment she followed him down, Mu Daoren became angry and pulled up with a swipe.
The long whip in his hand thrust upwards diagonally. The speed didn't seem to be very fast, but an incomparable dark force surged out, and there was a faint sound of rumbling thunder!
Looking at the oncoming thrust, Zhao Qing suddenly understood the reason behind Mu Taoist's move:
Changing the orientation and direction of travel in the water is much more difficult than on land because of the relationship between resistance and force. At this time, it is important to know how to calculate and guide.
And this is what Mu Tao Ren, who is known as the best in Go, the second in poetry and wine, and the third in swordsmanship, is best at. The computing power required to play chess is quite astonishing, but Mu Taoren is the best chess player in the world.
However, Zhao Qing was not unprepared for Mu Daoren's move. She was happy and unafraid, she bowed her body slightly, used up all her body energy, and sent out sword energy with both hands, heading straight towards the incoming dark energy point!
"Boom" there was a big earthquake, two powerful sword energies collided together, the undercurrent spread out, the surrounding water trembled, and became several times turbid in an instant.
After the blow, taking advantage of the turbulence of the water flow, the two people faced off against the current and began to attack each other at close range. They hit exploding bubbles in the water and created a circle of underwater whirlpools surrounding the two of them. .
Mu Daoren's swordsmanship is very precise, and every move he makes is surprisingly stable, not affected by the undercurrent surging in the water at all, and he vaguely forms a formidable sword force.
Just like a chess player playing fast chess, it seems that the speed of the pieces is not very fast, but he is pressing forward step by step, encircling the opponent's territory.
To deal with this steady and step-by-step technique, Zhao Qing sped up his sword speed in an attempt to disrupt the opponent's rhythm.
For a moment, the sword energy criss-crossed, as fast as the wind and lightning, and the sound of "pop" was heard everywhere.
