Chapter 153: Splitting the Mountain Lake

In this era of Primordial Force enlightenment, a Bone Training Realm Primordial Warrior could be called a powerful figure in one county. A Cloud Condensation Realm Primordial Warrior was hailed as a Great Yuan Warrior, capable of dominating one city, let alone a Rain Transformation Realm Primordial Warrior.

A Rain Transformation Realm Primordial Warrior had Primordial Force inside their body that had reached the state where clouds gathered into rain. It was extremely condensed, pure, and vast. With every move, they possessed the terrifying power to shatter mountains, so they could dominate an entire region.

Looking across the whole world, the number of Rain Transformation Realm Primordial Warriors was very small. The entire Shenxia Alliance probably did not even have a hundred Rain Transformation Realm Primordial Warriors.

In the Mowei Empire, any Primordial Warrior who could set foot in the Rain Transformation Realm had the right to rule a region and become an Overlord. Therefore, Rain Transformation Realm Primordial Warriors were also called Frontier Governors, meaning they could protect the peace of an area and had the power over life and death.

Even in the powerful Shenxia Alliance, which called itself democratic, as long as someone was a Rain Transformation Realm Primordial Warrior, if they were willing, they could directly become the ruler of a province and command the entire province. In the Shenxia Alliance, there were only about a hundred provinces, so one could imagine how much importance various forces placed on Rain Transformation Realm Primordial Warriors.

Jiang Xincheng also had not expected that in this small Autumn Moon Manor, there was actually a terrifying Rain Transformation Realm Primordial Warrior hiding. Sensing that blade strike powerful enough to split a mountain, Jiang Xincheng’s face suddenly changed. He operated the Dragon Concealment Art to its limit and fled deeper into the lake.

Luckily, he had not surfaced earlier. Originally, he was worried about powerful cannon fire, but he did not expect it to coincidentally guard against a terrifying Rain Transformation Realm Primordial Warrior. His figure was nimble as he fled at high speed. Before the long blade could land on him, he dodged the sharpest part of the blade light, but he was still hit by the remaining shockwave.

His back shook heavily, and the pain made Jiang Xincheng’s face twist. He could not help but want to spit out a mouthful of blood. But thinking of the Rain Transformation Realm expert on the lake surface, Jiang Xincheng still swallowed the blood back, afraid that spitting it out would leave traces on the lake surface and reveal his whereabouts.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

The blade light was sharp, once again slashing down towards the lake water near Jiang Xincheng. Several strikes in a row covered an area of a hundred meters. Feeling the terrifying, sharp aura in the blade light and the overwhelming force, Jiang Xincheng’s face changed. He desperately dove towards the bottom of the water, avoiding the blade’s edge, and was again struck by the remaining shockwave.

Luckily, he had the mastered Black Fiend Copper Body protecting him. Otherwise, just this shockwave alone would have severely injured Jiang Xincheng, leaving him powerless, and he would have been captured alive by the people of Autumn Moon Manor.

Not daring to think too much, Jiang Xincheng desperately hid towards the bottom of the lake, searching for crevices or rock holes. Above, the blade light was like a silken ribbon, rampaging around Jiang Xincheng. But the more fiercely it rampaged, the more Jiang Xincheng knew that the terrifying Rain Transformation Realm Primordial Warrior above could not find his exact position.

The Dragon Concealment Art truly lived up to being a powerful Celestial Grade, Upper Tier Concealment Combat Technique. Its hiding effect was extremely fearsome. Even a Rain Transformation Realm Primordial Warrior, two major realms higher than Jiang Xincheng, could not discover Jiang Xincheng’s traces, even though his Spiritual Sense realm had reached the late General Realm, which was one minor realm higher than Jiang Xincheng’s.

But that Rain Transformation Realm Primordial Warrior above had already slashed more than twenty times. Why hadn’t he entered the water yet? If he entered the water, Jiang Xincheng would be finished. With a difference of two major realms, even in the water, Jiang Xincheng could not escape.

The opponent could break the defense of his Black Fiend Copper Body and severely injure him with just a casual palm strike. Jiang Xincheng did not even dare to get close, let alone drown this terrifying Rain Transformation Realm Primordial Warrior like he did to Wu Ruirui.

Could it be that the terrifying Rain Transformation Realm Primordial Warrior above did not know how to swim?

Thinking this, Jiang Xincheng felt slightly more at ease. He accelerated his search for an escape method in the water. Blade light rampaged around him, several times almost hitting Jiang Xincheng. If not for his excellent swimming skills and mastery of the Five Elements Steps, he would have long been chopped to death by the chaotic blades.

On the lakeshore, Zheng Zhong looked at Ishita Masao, who stood by the lake with blade light raging, and cautiously asked, “Lord Ishita, why don’t you enter the lake to find that little thief? Wouldn’t that be faster? You could find him directly and then kill him.”

“I can’t swim,” Ishita Masao, with his small mustache and short, stocky build, shook his head and said. He continued to send blade light like a silken ribbon, slashing towards the places where Jiang Xincheng was most likely to be. However, there was one more thing he did not tell Zheng Zhong: “I’m also afraid of water.”

Ever since he almost drowned as a child, Ishita Masao had developed a fear of water. Usually, he did not even dare to enter a swimming pool, let alone such a deep, large lake.

Jiang Xincheng was lucky this time to encounter such a non-swimmer terrifying Rain Transformation Realm Primordial Warrior. Otherwise, the outcome would have been hard to predict.

“Lord Ishita, even if you can’t swim, with your strength, such shallow water shouldn’t be a problem for you. Just dive in, find that little thief, kill him, and then come out,” Zheng Zhong suggested.

Ishita Masao glanced at him coldly. “You idiot, how I do things doesn’t need your reminders.”

Zheng Zhong’s face slightly changed. He stopped speaking and looked grimly as Ishita Masao continued to send out blade light. He felt like saying that with Ishita Masao’s powerful Rain Transformation Realm strength and high Spiritual Sense realm, how could he not even find a Bone Training Realm Primordial Warrior? Why was he slashing around like that? But looking at Ishita Masao’s cold face, he did not ask.

Zheng Zhong was not stupid. Ishita Masao’s actions clearly showed he had not caught Jiang Xincheng’s trail. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be slashing randomly. Why ask and embarrass him?

Ishita Masao’s face grew uglier. He, a mighty Rain Transformation Realm Great Yuan Warrior, a strong expert capable of blasting apart mountains, actually could not handle a mere Bone Training Realm Primordial Warrior. Moreover, he couldn’t even find him. With so many subordinates watching, how could he bear this?

After slashing several dozen more times, chopping the entire lake into a mess and nearly destroying it, Ishita Masao thought for a moment and finally decided to break the lake shore to let the lake water flow out. He still refused to enter the water.

Having decided, Ishita Masao’s blade light, like a silken ribbon, heavily struck several weak points along the shore of the large lake. He forcibly shattered the lake shore, and the lake water surged outward, the water level dropping very quickly.

Seeing this, Zheng Zhong and the others immediately understood Ishita Masao’s intention. Although they felt somewhat skeptical about Ishita Masao not entering the water to kill Jiang Xincheng but using this troublesome method to find him instead, it was still a good plan, just a bit more time-consuming.

The water flowed noisily and very quickly. Ishita Masao slashed another dozen times, making the openings larger so the water flowed even faster. In just half an hour, the lake water had dropped by over ten meters, and the lake surface had shrunk by nearly half. Jiang Xincheng had fewer and fewer places to hide, and gradually, his traces were about to be exposed.

Zheng Zhong and the others began to show joy on their faces, waiting for Jiang Xincheng’s figure to appear before them. Then they would capture him alive, ask clearly about his background, and directly kill him.
