The body sank rapidly towards the bottom of the lake, and the arms... no, not just the arms, but every inch of skin, every bone, and every meridian in the body felt a heart-breaking pain.
But a smile appeared on Shu Guan's face.
The first reason why Shu Guan smiled like this was because he was not dead!
Just now, he punched a Nascent Soul realm expert, but he didn't die.
He didn't rely on anything left by the old cripple, and it was obvious that this powerful person in the Nascent Soul realm was an extremely powerful physical practitioner.
But he had a head-on confrontation with him.
The punch just now was also Shu Guan's peak punch.
He used the power of Mountain Carrying Technique and the burst of brutal energy at the same time. The mutated spiritual power surged in the meridians that were far tougher and wider than those of normal practitioners. Coupled with the body bathed in dragon blood, all the suffering Xiu, all the accumulation was shown in the seemingly random punch just now, but in fact it was a fatal blow.
He and Capone then traded punches.
Yes, he lost this punch duel.
But the loss was not too tragic.
At this moment, his whole body was in pain, but it was just pain. His bones were not broken, and his meridians were not cracked. He was slightly weaker than Capone, but this gap was not an insurmountable gap.
In other words, even if he doesn't rely on the old cripple's things or other magic weapons, he already has the strength of the Nascent Soul Realm, at least in terms of physical combat power.
An extremely powerful enemy forced Shu Guan to his full potential and made him know where his limits were now.
This was the reason why Shu Guan smiled.
Another more important reason is that he was punched away by Capone just now. This was done to reduce the impact of the punch.
And now, he finally came to the water.
On the surface of the lake, a huge wave splashed, and then it quickly returned to calm.
Those who sink never rise again.
Capone jumped to the lake.
"Is he dead?"
Erin also appeared next to him and asked.
Capone shook his head grimly.
The punch with which his strength and aura had reached its peak just now did not turn the opponent into a pulp, which was beyond his expectation.
Moreover, when the opponent's fist came into contact, the touch from the fist made Capone realize that the opponent's physical body was not much weaker than his own.
Therefore, the punch just now should have seriously injured this extremely mysterious practitioner, but it definitely did not cause the opponent to suffer a fatal blow.
Then why doesn't that person come out of the water now?
Capone's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood what the man was doing underwater at this time.
From the fist fight just now, Capone understood that the opponent should be a practitioner who cultivated the physical body. Otherwise, even if they were both in the Nascent Soul realm, it would be difficult for other practitioners to hit the punch he just punched head-on with just the physical body.
And a practitioner who cultivates the physical body will always have some secret techniques to quickly recover from injuries. For example, as long as he has a chance to breathe, some flesh injuries can be recovered almost immediately.
"I want to get into the water!"
Guessing that the mysterious practitioner might be healing underwater at this time, Capone immediately said this to Erin.
Erin nodded, recited another mantra, pointed the magic wand in her hand at the lake in front of her, and then drew it to the side.
Above the lake, huge waves surged.
The dry lotus floating on the lake was swept under the lake bottom by the turbulent waves. As the waves rolled over, the lake surface actually split from the middle. The lake water surged towards both sides, revealing the scene of the lake bottom in the middle.
The practitioner who used Taoism to cover up his true appearance was now motionless in the mud at the bottom of the lake, with his head raised and his brows furrowed, his expression seemed to be quite painful.
It seems that the opponent is still fighting against the golden fighting spirit that he just blasted into his body, and has not yet recovered his ability to move. Otherwise, the opponent would have shot the terrifying iron arrow again by this time.
Capone didn't waste any time. When the water of the lake was separated by Irene's magic, he immediately jumped high and jumped to the bottom of the lake.
While he was in the air, Capone clenched his fists again and shouted at Erin.
"Don't let him leave the lake!"
Capone knew very well that to kill such a practitioner, just like killing himself, he must give him continuous fatal blows.
The fist fight just now made Capone know that in terms of hand-to-hand combat ability, he is still no match for him. As long as the opponent cannot escape, he can kill the opponent within a few punches.
Irene smiled slightly and waved the magic wand in her hand a few times. Several water columns like spiritual snakes suddenly emerged from the lake and wrapped around Shu Guan's body.
He didn't hide or dodge, letting the water pillars tie up his hands, feet and body.
Capone's judgment was correct. At this moment, in Shu Guan's body, his own spiritual power was fighting fiercely with the strong man's strange spiritual power in his meridians.
He really couldn't move when Capone leaped in front of him.
Capone laughed ferociously, and then without saying any nonsense, he punched the head of the cultivator in front of him who had concealed his true appearance.
Before the fist came down, Capone and the practitioner's eyes met.
The practitioner's eyes were so calm.
It was as if he had no fear of the impending death.
This made Capone slightly startled. He had not killed many people in his life, but he had never seen anyone remain so calm under his fists.
Of course, what was surprising was that Capone's fist didn't stop for a moment and continued to hit the opponent's head.
But his punch ended up in vain.
The cultivator, just when his fist was about to fall, suddenly moved sideways.
It can be clearly seen that it was not the practitioner who suddenly regained his mobility and avoided it on his own, but the few water pillars wrapped around his body that pulled him away from Capone's fist.
This time, Capone was really startled.
...What is Erin doing? Why don't you let me kill him?
This was the first doubt that flashed through his mind.
However, Erin, who was standing on the shore, was also suddenly startled when she saw what happened at the bottom of the lake.
Because it was definitely not her who controlled the water column to move the practitioner away.
what is going on?
Then, something even more shocking happened to her.
The water in the lake that was separated by her suddenly poured back into the middle, submerging the bottom of the lake again.
Erin's expression suddenly changed.
As a senior high-level magician, she immediately realized what was happening.
That was her control over the lake, which was quietly taken away.
Was it the practitioner at the bottom of the lake who did it?
How can this be!
Although that person has strong physical combat ability, his cultivation level is indeed only the first acquaintance level, which has been proved by the fight between her and the opponent just now.
Whether it was controlling the elements of wood or earth, she easily took control from the other party.
Then why is it that in the battle for the water element, the other party can suddenly suppress itself?
At this time, there was no time to think deeply about this issue. Erin stretched out her arms and her whole body was suspended in the air again. Even her hair was floating like water plants.
Then Irene began to recite a complex and awkward mantra loudly, which was a secret method to improve magic control.
She must immediately take back control of the lake from the practitioner's hands.
…
The lake water, like a downpour, hit Capone hard.
Even with Capone's powerful strength, his body was suddenly shaken by the sudden dumping of the lake water, and he took a step back.
The most important thing was that after the water fell down, it stirred up the mud at the bottom of the lake, and the surrounding area became turbid, blocking his sight. For a moment, he lost the trace of the cultivator in his eyes.
Capone immediately activated his golden fighting energy and illuminated an area of about three meters around him, and then he was barely able to see some of the surrounding scenery clearly.
It's just that it's still so blurry even further away.
Capone stared at the surroundings warily. He was hesitant now. In this case, as an experienced warrior, the best choice at this time was to leave the bottom of the lake immediately.
Moreover, the sudden loss of control of the lake was also very unusual. Capone did not think that Irene was deliberately joking with him.
Then just when Capone was a little confused, he saw a word.
It was a shining golden Chinese character that suddenly appeared under the water five or six meters in front of him.
Capone has been in Dahua for many years. Although he has never thought highly of Dahua, he has more or less recognized some Dahua characters. However, this golden Dahua character that appears at the bottom of the lake now makes him do not know.
But this doesn't seem to be important.
What's important is that just below the golden Chinese characters stands the mysterious practitioner just now.
The water at the bottom of the lake was still turbid, and it was difficult to see the expression on the practitioner's face clearly, but Capone could feel that the other person was staring at him at this time.
Capone's eyes flashed with light, and he immediately rushed towards the opponent.
After all, he thought that if he could get close to the cultivator, he could easily kill him.
The lake water slowed Capone's speed slightly, but the impact was not too great. After all, he was already a powerful Nascent Soul.
In the blink of an eye, Capone rushed in front of Shu Guan and punched him again.
This time, however, he missed again.
This time, the mysterious cultivator was not pulled away by the water column, but he dodged past his arm flexibly and dexterously like a swimming fish.
Capone's eyes narrowed suddenly.
Because he noticed something unusual, that is, this practitioner seemed to have no resistance in the water at the moment, and even felt more flexible than he was on the ground.
Capone turned around and punched again.
Under his terrifying power, the surrounding lake water turned into rapidly surging undercurrents, and rushed toward the cultivator together with his fist.
Then, the practitioner floated away with the current.
Capone narrowed his eyes again. He knew very well that the punch he just punched still failed to harm the practitioner at all.
All his strength was thrown into the air.
If Capone felt that the practitioner looked like a fish swimming in the water at first, then the strange feeling in his heart was even stronger now.
At this time, the practitioner is not like a fish swimming in the water, but more like the water itself.
He is now in the water. No matter how strong he is and how fast he is, how can he grab a part of the water and hurt the lake!
There was such a realization in Capone's heart, and at the same time there was infinite vigilance.
He was ready to leave the bottom of the lake immediately.
Then at this moment, all the undercurrents driven by his fist power were rolled back at this moment.
Those undercurrents became more and more intense. They surrounded Capone's body, entangling, tearing, pushing, and squeezing. Moreover, those currents seemed to contain some strange power, which had a greater impact on Capone than before. On a lot.
At this moment, Capone had a feeling that he had not long ago in the woods, that is, he seemed to have become the enemy of this small lake.
Capone waved his arms like an ordinary man tangled in a clump of weeds underwater.
If you give him some time, he should be able to quickly break away from the "water plants" of these prisoners and rush to the lake.
Unfortunately he ran out of time.
A figure suddenly appeared from the turbid and dark lake water, floating silently like the currents surrounding Capone, and came to Capone's side.
Shu Guan finally regained his ability to move and recovered most of the injuries in his body.
Like a shark in the deep sea, he quietly approached his prey, then exposed his sharp fangs, and stabbed Capone in the chest with the bull's-ear knife in his hand.
Capone was indeed a master of Nascent Soul realm who had experienced hundreds of battles. At such a moment, he still reached out a hand in time and accurately grasped the wrist of Shuguan's hand holding the sharp knife.
The next moment, Capone was ready to break the wrist.
Shu Guan felt the huge power coming from his wrist. He had already felt such powerful power once.
The power was indeed much stronger than him, but not so strong that he could not resist.
The mountain-bearing technique combined with the remaining strength suddenly broke out, and Shu Guan immediately used his strongest strength.
He unleashed his strongest strength, but still couldn't free his wrist from Capone's iron-like grasp.
But it was enough for him to twist his wrist.
The sharp knife he was holding tightly rotated as he twisted his wrist.
So Capone's entire palm was cut off.
Capone raised his head and opened his mouth. He seemed to want to open his mouth to let out a painful howl, but as he opened his mouth, the lake water poured into his mouth, and he could only hear a few low gurgling sounds from his throat.
But from Capone's eyes and the expression on his face, it can still be seen that this powerful person in the Nascent Soul realm is extremely stunned, in pain, and even vaguely afraid at this moment.
He naturally saw the sharp knife in Shu Guan's hand just now, but in his eyes, it was really an ordinary short knife without any spiritual power fluctuations, so he grabbed Shu Guan without any care. wrist.
You must know that his physical body cannot be damaged by the sharpest high-grade magic weapons.
But he didn't expect that this ordinary short knife cut off his wrist in one go.
This short sword is actually the same as the bow and arrow. It looks very ordinary, but it also possesses some mysterious power.
...How could this mysterious practitioner possess so many mysterious, weird and powerful weapons?
In the midst of shock and horror, Capone inevitably had this thought flashing through his mind.
And this was the last time he thought about it in his life.
The knife cut off Capone's wrist, broke free from the restraints, and jumped into Capone's arms as nimbly as a fish. The knife pierced Capone's chest and pierced Capone's heart.
He pulled out the sharp knife and slit Capone's throat with a wave of his hand.
Then he stabbed the sharp knife into Capone's forehead.
The three swords were completed in one go, without any sloppiness.
To deal with such an extremely powerful physical practitioner, one must use continuous thunderous attacks to attack his vital points, otherwise the opponent may recover if he holds back even a little.
But after three strikes, Shu Guan still didn't stop.
He kicked off his feet, raised his body a little higher, and reached the top of Capone's head. The sharp knife slashed in the air above Capone's head, which seemed to be empty except for the lake water.
Under the blade, a shadow suddenly appeared.
It was a nearly transparent figure that looked exactly like Capone.
But under the blade of the sharp knife, this phantom finally completely and truly dissipated.
And before it dissipated, one could see the ultimate fear and despair on the face of the phantom Capone.
This phantom is Capone’s Nascent Soul!
This is not the first time Shu Guan has fought against a Nascent Soul realm power, and Capone is not the first Nascent Soul power to die at his hands.
Only by beheading the Nascent Soul can one truly kill a powerful person in the Nascent Soul realm, otherwise the opponent is likely to come back to life by other means.
For example, half a year ago, it was because of his lack of experience that he gave Yuan Yingzi's Nascent Soul a chance to escape.
This mistake will not be made a second time.
…
By the side of the small lake, Irene's voice of reciting incantations became louder and louder and more urgent.
She had raised her magic power to the extreme, but she still could not regain control of the water element in the small lake.
She could clearly feel every tiny drop of water element in the lake, but none of those water elements responded to her call.
Because those water elements are currently under the influence of another power that is more powerful than her summons.
That is probably the control over the elements of heaven and earth that can only be possessed by forbidden spell-level magic.
Eventually, Erin gave up, knowing she could never regain control of the lake from that man.
She fell from the air, looking a little anxious.
But it's not too worrying.
Because Irene felt that Capone could defeat the mysterious practitioner even without her own help. This was the trust that she and Capone had cultivated through years of fighting side by side.
Now that Capone is close, the mysterious practitioner will naturally have no chance to shoot that terrifying bow and arrow.
And Erin had no intention of going to the bottom of the lake to help.
She is just a five-element element magician, and her main power comes from the power of the five elements she can control.
If she lost control of the elemental powers, she would be of little help to Capone.
Erin stared at the lake and waited.
The surface of the lake was very calm, making it unclear what was happening under the lake at this time.
Erin waited for a minute or so, then her anxiety level increased quite a bit.
Because she felt that it had been a long time, and in the previous battles she had witnessed with Capone, as long as the enemy was close to Capone, he was almost killed by Capone within a few seconds.
...This time, why did it take so long...
At this moment, a circle of ripples suddenly appeared on the lake surface.
It seemed like something was about to emerge from under the lake.
Erin quickly stared.
Then, she saw what came out of the lake... was an arrow.
An iron arrow flew out from under the lake and flew in front of Irene in an instant.
Erin's eyes suddenly opened wide.
It's a pity that she is just a magician and does not have Capone's strength, reflexes and speed.
Facing such a lightning-fast iron arrow, she only had time to open her eyes wide before she was shot through the throat by the iron arrow.
Irene's beautiful face still showed surprise and unwillingness, but her body fell softly.
Immediately afterwards, Shu Guan also rushed out from under the lake, jumped over Irene's body, and swung his sharp knife in the air.
Another phantom was completely annihilated under the sharp edge of the sword.
Shu Guan fell from the air, stood next to the body of the female magician from the Western Continent, and silently put the sharp knife back into his sleeve.
On the winding corridor, Ouyang Hai, who had been lying among a bunch of sleeping ordinary people, stood up leisurely, looked at Shu Guan standing by the lake, and said quietly:
"You are so perverted!"
Tickets are a bit scarce these days, and I feel like my enthusiasm has been hit.
