Chapter 46 Strong Counterattack
"Trying to leave now? Too late!" Yang Changsheng's eyes flashed with cold light, and his icy voice revealed killing intent.
These two not only knew his cultivation level, but also witnessed his methods, which far surpassed those of others of the same level. If they were to release him back into the mountains, the consequences would be dire.
The Wang family is indeed the Crimson Sky Wang family. The troubles of the Lu family have ultimately reached those of them who are dependent on the lower classes.
However, this is Biyue Lake, his home ground for practicing water-based techniques. At the fourth level of Qi Refining, these people of the same realm are nothing to fear.
"boom!"
Yang Changsheng stepped onto the bow of the boat, the solid wooden planks beneath his feet creaking softly.
He pressed down with both palms, and the power of the Xuan Yuan Technique surged out from his body, resonating with the vast water elemental power of the Azure Lake.
"The waves are rising!"
As he whispered a command, the lake water within a ten-zhang radius in front of the boat surged, as if it had been forcibly stirred up by an invisible giant hand.
A towering, emerald-green wall of water, several meters high and several meters wide, suddenly rose up with tremendous force, crashing down on the two men in black who were trying to escape.
The giant waves roared, their power terrifying; even before the waves arrived, a bone-chilling cold had already enveloped the area.
Tempered by the power of the moon, Yang Changsheng's special water control technique, which condenses water into ice, has once again manifested!
"Click...click"
The towering waves, after crashing against the two men in black, changed shape again. The rushing water stopped abruptly, replaced by an endless chill.
The surging wall of water froze instantly, transforming into a crystal-clear, enormous ice cage, imprisoning the two of them along with their hastily erected protective aura within.
"What kind of magic is this...?"
"It's so cold... I can't hold on much longer!"
A chill seeped into their bodies, and the two men in black seemed like insects falling into an icy abyss, their movements instantly slowed, their eyes completely overwhelmed by undisguised fear.
They frantically channeled their inner magic to attack the ice wall, while their flying swords and needles desperately pierced and chiseled, sending ice shards flying and cracks spreading.
However, it was impossible to break through this solid cage, which combined Yang Changsheng's four layers of Qi Refining power with the power of the home water area, in a short period of time.
"Whoosh!"
Yang Changsheng left a trail of afterimages as he flew down from the bow of the ship, his feet landing firmly on the smooth, cold top of the ice prison.
The next moment, his blood and qi surged and boiled, his skin instantly shone with a thick, dark iron luster, and his bones and muscles throbbed, emitting a deep thunderous sound.
With the fourth level of Body Refinement Technique perfected, a terrifying force of nearly 18,000 jin surged and roared through his flesh and blood.
"boom!"
He didn't use any fancy spells; it was simple, direct, and brutal. His fists were clenched like two heavy hammers, and with a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air, he slammed them down hard into the ice prison below.
"No!"
Inside the icy prison, the two people's desperate screams had just escaped their throats.
boom!boom!
Two muffled, drum-like explosions erupted almost simultaneously, revealing that the solid ice was as fragile as paper in the face of absolute power.
The top of the ice prison shattered with a deafening roar, and two fists gleaming with a cold metallic light, carrying terrifying force, shattered the protective aura and pierced through it without any hindrance.
Then, with perfect precision, it was imprinted on the chests of the two men in black, who were now completely unprotected.
puff!puff!
A chilling sound of flesh and bone shattering rang out, and blood mixed with broken entrails splattered in the cold air, painting large patches of glaring and gruesome scarlet on the crystal-clear ice wall.
Beneath the masks, two distorted faces were frozen in extreme terror, unable to utter even a complete scream.
From the moment the water swelled up, to the giant waves turning into an ice prison, and then to Yang Changsheng killing his opponent with his fists, the whole process was as fast as lightning, taking only four or five breaths.
All that remained on the lake were broken ice floes, the pervasive pungent smell of blood, and two mangled, gruesome corpses.
Yang Changsheng landed on the largest piece of floating ice. The luster of the black iron slowly faded, and his aura became as calm and unwavering as a deep abyss.
He remained expressionless, his cold gaze sweeping over the mess.
He bent down and deftly pulled off the storage bags from the waists of the two men in black, finding them bulging with contents.
Then, he took out two low-grade first-tier fireball talismans, infused them with magic power, and flicked them out.
call!call!
Two blazing orange-red fireballs landed precisely on the body parts, spreading rapidly and burning fiercely.
The stench of charred flesh spread, quickly engulfing the remains along with the blood-stained ice fragments, burning them to ashes.
The flickering firelight illuminated Yang Changsheng's calm and composed face, with only a hint of coldness remaining in his eyes.
After confirming that no trace remained, he raised his hand and waved it, and the remaining cold air and ice shards silently melted away and sank into the depths of the blue lake.
The awning boat floated quietly not far away. Yang Changsheng soared into the sky and drifted back to the bow of the boat like a falling leaf.
At the fourth level of Qi Refining, even without using a magical artifact to fly, one can still fly short distances by mastering the Wind Control Technique. However, this consumes a tremendous amount of mana, so very few people would do it.
Without even glancing at the fading flames and the reddish-brown water, he channeled his magical power into the boat's array, causing the awning boat to change direction, break through the waves, and sail steadily and swiftly towards his crayfish breeding area in the Bingyin 73 waters.
Soon, they left the waters, which had just witnessed a massacre, far behind.
Just as Yang Changsheng's awning boat disappeared into the vast expanse of misty waters, chaos and danger were already brewing in the waters surrounding Biyue Lake.
"Boom..."
The ear-piercing sounds of sharp weapons cutting through the air and the booming sounds of magical explosions rose and fell, shattering the usual peace and tranquility of the outer waters.
Streaks of spiritual light collided violently above the lake, exploding into dazzling halos and stirring up turbid water columns tens of meters high.
"Ah... Help!"
"Who are you? We have no grudge against you, why are you doing this...?"
Roars, screams, and the clanging of clashing magical weapons mingled together, painting a cruel and bloody picture on the moonlit blue lake.
Dozens of low-level fishermen from the Lu family, who were piloting three-zhang-long wooden boats, became lambs to the slaughter.
Their cultivation was only at the first or second level of Qi Refining. Faced with attackers who suddenly emerged from underwater or reed beds, dressed in black and masked, their resistance seemed pale and powerless.
Some people were pierced by several insidious flying needles, screaming as they fell into the water, their blood instantly staining the area red. Others had their old magical artifacts severed by a sudden flying sword attack, and were torn apart along with their boats by the surging water arrows.
Most of the intermediate-level fishermen who were ambushed were at the mid-stage of Qi Refining.
Those who reacted faster, or even those with more combat experience, desperately activated protective talismans or unleashed offensive spells in an attempt to force back the enemy and survive the danger.
However, their opponents were very professional. They were used to peace and stability and were difficult to contend with. Soon, blood stained the lake, and people died tragically.
"You audacious scoundrel! How dare you invade my Lu family's waters!"
An angry howl approached from afar, emanating a powerful surge of magical energy.
Several figures dressed in the Lu family's standard blue robes sped over on flying magical artifacts; they were Lu family law enforcement cultivators who had rushed over upon hearing the news.
The leader was surprisingly at the eighth level of Qi Refining!
Seeing the fishermen's miserable state, their eyes widened in fury. They immediately unleashed their magical weapons, chanting incantations and hand seals. Sharp sword light, scorching fireballs, and heavy ancient stones instantly rushed towards the black-clad men who were committing violence.
The surrounding waters instantly transformed into a chaotic battleground, with figures in green robes and black shadows intertwining, flashes of spiritual light erupting, and towering waves crashing overhead.
