The lights of Yangcheng shine in the distance, and the river sparkles under the starry night.
And just seven or eight feet away from the shore, a huge whirlpool has been formed. The turbid river water is swirling around the center of the whirlpool. Some broken wooden boards are floating on the water, constantly undulating and churning.
At the bottom of this large whirlpool, the fight between Zhao Qing and Mu Daoren also stirred up a smaller whirlpool.
Although a shipwreck had just occurred nearby, the offensive and defensive situation between the two had not changed. The suction of the vortex pulled them two to three feet away, and then the inner strength of controlling the water flow stopped the trend.
Carrying the momentum of the water flow, Zhao Qing's moves became faster and faster, rushing towards Mu Taoist from top to bottom. Each force drove a large stream of water, surrounding the opponent with swirling force and blocking his upward path.
Mu Tao people are good at water fighting and know how to use the resistance of water bodies? That makes it impossible for him to borrow it.
Her goal is to suppress the opponent to the bottom of the river, reduce his range of activities, limit his familiarity with water, and prevent him from breathing.
But I, who is above, can float up to take a breath. One increase and one decrease will undoubtedly increase the advantage.
…
As time passed, Mu Tao Ren became more and more surprised. Originally, he thought that he was extremely confident in a water fight. He felt that even an opponent whose martial arts skills were superior to his would never have the slightest chance of winning in a water fight for the first time.
But now it seems that he may not have overestimated himself, but underestimated Zhao Qing.
Not only were Yu Huan's moves and routines almost ineffective, but even though he tried his best and displayed the Liangyi swordsmanship to the fullest, he still didn't gain the slightest advantage.
In terms of martial arts, it is obviously the same "Yin and Yang Separation" move in Liangyi Sword Art. Some people use it, but it has no effect at all, while some people use it, but it can kill people.
That's just because they can seize the most appropriate time and the best opportunity.
Opportunities are always fleeting, so to seize them, you must have speed.
Of course there has to be a bit of luck involved - no matter what you do, you have to have a bit of luck.
But "luck" doesn't just fall from the sky. If a person can seize the opportunity every time, his "luck" will always be good.
In the past, Mu Taoist's "luck" has always been very good. Whether he was competing with the four arhats of "no tiger, no lion, no elephant, and no leopard", or competing with Shihe in sword competition, he could rely on the inspiration he had learned from training. , find the "eye" in the chess path, and skillfully seize the opportunities to make moves again and again.
Even a few days ago, after witnessing the sword duel between Zhao Qing and Ye Gucheng, he still felt that if he was under the pressure of the two of them, he could inspire the enemy.
But after actually facing Zhao Qing, Mu Daoren found that what he thought was completely wrong.
The opponent's moves are not only endless, but also unrestrained and change according to his mind. It is extremely difficult to deal with his own inspiration and layout, and he cannot figure out the flickering "chess eye".
In fact, Zhao Qing's moves seemed to have found his "chess eye" and adopted the correct method of sword suppression.
Although Mu Taoist's swordsmanship is rigorous and his moves are exquisite, he is helpless in the face of such strong suppression.
The longer the fight continued, the more he discovered that Zhao Qing's sword skills in the water were more varied and more sophisticated, and he had almost lost his experience advantage.
Every whirlpool of energy that rushed in depleted a little of his buoyancy, and when the whirlpools came one after another, he seemed to have turned into a sunken ship and was sucked into the bottom of the water.
Facing the sword energy that turned into thousands of rays of light and flooded the ground with mercury, Mu Taoren dived again and again, finally approaching the bottom of the Pearl River.
There is a lot of sand and stones at the bottom of the river, with ravines and ravines everywhere, and there are traces of river erosion everywhere.
Because it is close to the dock, there are some large and small items of cargo in the sandpit at the bottom of the river, which may have been accidentally dropped in the past.
At this moment, a sunken ship slowly fell down and fell into the sand. The hull trembled slightly with the current.
Taking advantage of the turbulence at the bottom of the water, Mu Daoren swung his long whip and actually rolled on the bottom of the river. He used the ravine terrain to break away from the scope of the sword energy, and then kicked hard and headed towards the sunken ship.
The kicked up sand spread out in all directions, making the bottom of the river full of turbidity for a radius of four to five feet, almost covering his whereabouts.
Could it be that Mu Daoren has realized the disadvantage of being suppressed at the bottom of the river and decided to head towards the shore and return to the land?
Zhao Qing changed direction and prepared to intercept the opponent diagonally above.
However, this time she guessed wrong. When Mu Daoren emerged from the turbidity, he immediately threw a dark object in his hand.
It was a large iron anchor weighing more than a hundred kilograms. It was originally connected to the side of the ship, but was later taken into the water. Finally, it was picked up and thrown by Mu Taoist, towards Zhao Qing.
The anchor's force was so strong that even if it finally landed in the air, it would undoubtedly be able to break a large piece of hard river bottom rock when it fell.
However, Zhao Qing naturally would not be hit by this bulky hidden weapon in the water. She ducked sideways and spent some time, but she saw Mu Daoren's body suddenly swelled a lot, and his whole body began to float rapidly.
A special technique to speed up your ascent? Zhao Qing rushed to catch up, but in the end he was a step too late.
I saw that the calm river surface suddenly became turbulent again. Mu Tao Ren suddenly jumped out of the water, like a flying fish jumping out of the water.
However, this flying fish did not jump very happily. Carrying the rapid flow of water, a sword energy quickly flew out of the water, shot out several feet of white light, and slashed diagonally towards him.
Mu Daoren was in mid-air, about to fall. Facing this well-timed sword energy, he seemed to have turned into a living target, unable to dodge.
At this critical moment, he actually took another breath and continued to pull up two feet. This kind of double leaping skill is obviously the extremely light skill of "Ladder Cloud Zong" that has been passed down in the martial arts for a long time.
But he could avoid one sword, but it was difficult to avoid the second. The water surface broke open, and Zhao Qing also flew out. His sword energy was unleashed with all his strength, covering Mu Taoist's top, bottom, left, and right in an instant, blocking his path of whereabouts.
Mu Taoist hurriedly waved his long whip to block it, but suddenly he felt a strangely strong invisible force coming towards him, which shook him so hard that he could hardly hold it firmly and his body flew backwards.
It turned out that the water pressure changed too quickly when he rose from the bottom of the river to the surface. He had not yet adapted to it. The energy in his body could not be transferred and received in a short period of time, and his strength was much weaker.
Although Mu Daoren had tried using his sword underwater in the past, he had never experienced such a fierce battle, and he was unaware of the changes in this aspect.
However, Zhao Qing floats slowly, so the impact will be much smaller.
Taking advantage of Mu Taoist's opportunity to fly backwards, Zhao Qing turned into a green shadow, stepped on the water and chased after him. He fired sword energy from his hand and stabbed straight out.
Where she landed, the impact formed water holes, and the waves danced, as if lifting her body up.
In a short period of time, Zhao Qing understood many martial arts principles from Mu Taoist's moves and the characteristics of water, and applied them.
This traveling through the waves is to combine the true energy in the body with the rushing air, and this can only be done when traveling quickly. If you just stop on the water, it won't happen.
But despite this, this astonishing attainment of Qinggong also made her look like a fairy in myths and legends.
And the sword energy she emitted, although it was chilling and sharp, actually seemed to blend into her walking pace, showing a strange rhythm.
A sword light as soft as water followed a strange curve in the air, firmly locking on every direction of the Wooden Taoist flying backwards.
Although it was an instant, the sword light changed direction more than ten times. Every time the direction was changed, the sword force suddenly accelerated, and the airflow it caused became stronger.
But in the eyes of outsiders, it was just a flash of sword light.
In an instant, the flash of sword light was close to Mu Taoren's chest.
