Chapter 152: Frontier Governor, Rain Transformation Realm

Deep under the water, Jiang Xincheng stared at Wu Ruirui, who was still chasing him. He never expected this senior sister to be so fierce, chasing him even while naked. In that case, he couldn’t blame himself for being ruthless.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes as a thought crossed Jiang Xincheng’s mind. Watching Wu Ruirui getting closer, he carefully considered his plan. After ensuring it was safe, he dived deeper into the water.

His swimming skills were excellent. In his previous life, he had specifically learned diving and swimming, reaching a master level. Moreover, his Spiritual Sense had reached the General Realm Middle Stage, allowing him to use the refined techniques from his past life to create a breathing channel underwater with his Spiritual Sense. He could stay submerged as long as he wanted.

At this moment, Jiang Xincheng was practically invincible underwater among peers. Even if Primordial Warriors from the Cloud Condensation Realm or Rain Transformation Realm jumped into the vast ocean with him, they would be the ones to die after a while.

His cyan Spiritual Sense at the General Realm Middle Stage spread out like a straw, one end connected to the water’s surface and the other to his mouth, continuously supplying oxygen. Jiang Xincheng breathed normally, unlike Wu Ruirui, who had to hold her breath and couldn’t last long.

Even with the support of her Cloud Condensation Realm strength, Wu Ruirui could only hold out for half an hour at most. So Jiang Xinceguided her deeper into the lake, waiting for her limit.

The mountain lake was very deep, about fifty or sixty meters, filled with numerous swimming fish, including some meter-long large fish and water snakes. Jiang Xincheng was not afraid.

With his current strength and the protection of his great mastery Black Fiend Copper Body, even a pack of tigers and lions couldn’t harm him. So why would he fear the small fish, shrimp, or snakes in the lake?

Jiang Xincheng swam freely at the bottom, pretending to be running out of oxygen and about to surface. Seeing this, a hint of joy crossed Wu Ruirui’s delicate face, and she chased after him like a mermaid.

The other guards from Autumn Moon Manor flailed in the water like frogs, following Wu Ruirui in pursuit of Jiang Xincheng. They occasionally surfaced for air, posing no threat to him.

Time passed bit by bit. Jiang Xincheng appeared to be rolling his eyes and on the verge of collapse, while Wu Ruirui was also at her limit, her face turning blue as she struggled to hold her breath but continued chasing him.

She thought to herself that she hadn’t expected Jiang Xincheng to be such a good swimmer. With only Bone Training Realm strength, he could hold his breath for so long, clearly indicating excellent swimming skills. Combined with Primordial Force assistance and good physical condition, he could last almost as long as her, a Great Yuan Warrior at the Cloud Condensation Realm.

Suddenly, Wu Ruirui noticed Jiang Xincheng’s movements slowing down abruptly, his face contorted as if suffocating. Overjoyed, she sped up and lunged at him, using up her last bit of oxygen.

Soon, Wu Ruirui caught up with Jiang Xincheng and aimed a palm strike at his back as he struggled in the water. Just as she thought she would succeed, to her surprise, Jiang Xincheng suddenly turned around, grabbed her, and held her smooth body tightly in his arms, pulling her deeper into the water.

Wu Ruirui’s face changed. Having used her last bit of oxygen, she couldn’t help but open her mouth and gulp water, her delicate face showing panic. She formed her small hands into palms and struck Jiang Xincheng fiercely.

Jiang Xincheng let Wu Ruirui’s hands hit his body, leaving bruises, but he continued holding her tightly, preventing her escape and dragging her deeper.

Unable to breathe, Wu Ruirui was at her limit. Her face turned pale blue as she struggled desperately in Jiang Xincheng’s embrace, trying to break free and surface for air.

But Jiang Xincheng was like an iron clamp, using all his strength to hold her firmly. Despite her fierce blows, he didn’t let go, gradually pulling her toward death.

Wu Ruirui’s strikes grew weaker, like a lover’s caress. Her bright eyes began to roll back, her face extremely ugly, and she gradually fell silent.

This Great Yuan Warrior at the Cloud Condensation Realm was suffocated to death in the deep water by Jiang Xincheng. She was the strongest enemy he had faced directly and the most powerful Practitioner he had killed in this lifetime, all achieved through this method.

Looking at Wu Ruirui’s smooth body, Jiang Xincheng casually placed her corpse at the lake bottom, weighed it down with a large rock, and twisted her neck with his right hand to ensure she was truly dead. Then, with a fierce expression, he turned to the Autumn Moon Manor guards swimming toward him.

Some faster guards had already approached Jiang Xincheng and saw Wu Ruirui’s naked body at his feet. Their faces changed, and they tried to turn and escape, but it was too late.

Jiang Xincheng drew his Mysterious Steel Sword and, like a fish in water, charged at the Autumn Moon Manor guards. The few guards at the front were only at the Bone Tempering Late Stage. Even on land, Jiang Xincheng wouldn’t fear them, let alone in the advantageous underwater conditions.

The Mysterious Steel Sword fluttered like a butterfly, slicing across the necks of these guards. Blood flowed, and they died instantly, floating upward.

Their attacks were easily dodged by Jiang Xincheng, leaving him unharmed.

Jiang Xincheng was like a crocodile ruling the water, pouncing on the small fry of Autumn Moon Manor. Wherever the Mysterious Steel Sword passed, corpses appeared one after another. The Autumn Moon Manor guards were thrown into disarray, dropping their weapons and no longer daring to chase Jiang Xincheng. They cried and fled toward the shore.

Unfortunately, their speed was far inferior to Jiang Xincheng’s, especially since he could breathe underwater. Previously, he had deliberately lured them to the center of the mountain lake. In the end, only two guards escaped; the rest lay dead in the lake.

On the shore, Zheng Zhong and a group of non-swimming guards watched in terror, shivering with fear. They quickly moved dozens of meters away from the lake, afraid Jiang Xincheng might suddenly emerge and kill them.

Sensing the trembling guards with his Spiritual Sense, Jiang Xincheng sneered and prepared to dive deeper. But at that moment, his Spiritual Sense detected a terrifying presence dozens of meters away. This aura was far stronger than Wu Ruirui’s or the two Great Yuan Warriors guarding the hall’s secret room at the Cloud Condensation Late Stage. It felt like a ruler, a land monster, approaching with majestic power.

As soon as it appeared, it immediately locked onto Jiang Xincheng’s Spiritual Sense and charged madly toward him. A blade light, pure as practice, transformed into a giant sky-cleaving blade, ruthlessly slashing down at Jiang Xincheng dozens of meters deep in the lake.

Frontier Governor!

Rain Transformation Realm!

General Realm Late Stage Spiritual Sense!

Jiang Xincheng felt a chill all over, his face instantly changing dramatically.
