Free Web NovelThe path Dong Ao and Dong Ge Yu took was naturally not an ordinary escort route.
The great river in front of Yinma Town often saw people and boats disappear without a trace, dozens of times a year, an unusually high frequency.
Not long ago, a survivor came to Mo City and asked them for help.
The survivor said that boatmen and demons were colluding, killing people for their goods, and helping the demons hide their tracks.
After several investigations, Dong Ao locked onto this particular boat.
Today, they had made full preparations to bring the boatmen and demons to justice, but who knew there would be uninvited guests?
Dong Ge Yu shook his head and said:
"Uncle Ao, the demons are cunning. If we delay any longer, it will seem suspicious. With any slight disturbance, they probably won't take the bait, and who knows how many more innocent lives will be lost in vain."
"We can figure out what to do later about the other matters. Have you forgotten Grandfather's teachings?"
Dong Ao's face darkened.
Dong Ge Yu helplessly made a gesture of surrender:
"Alright, alright, Uncle Ao, it's not that serious. That kid isn't an ordinary person. Maybe the two of us combined aren't his match."
"Hmm? Which young master in Earth City is so skilled? Why haven't I heard of him?"
Dong Ao was stunned. Had he misjudged just now?
"He's only recently become famous. His Hammer Technique is superb, but for some reason, he wasn't chosen by the Heavenly Immortal clan to receive a Legacy."
"Hammer Technique is superb? That's quite a talent... What's his name?"
"Li Mo."
"Pfft..."
Dong Ao spat out a mouthful of tea, his face full of surprise, but then he muttered to himself:
"Well, how old is he? It's probably a namesake..."
"Nephew always feels this person is too coincidental."
Dong Ge Yu squinted as he spoke, then shook his head: "Never mind, it's getting late. We should first take care of the matter at hand... Hmm? What smells so good?"
...Inside the carriage, a charcoal stove was gurgling with snow-white, jade-colored fish soup, containing only one fish.
Just now, Li Mo had barely started boiling water when Ying Bing had already caught the fish.
Li Mo skillfully put it into the pot and simmered it into a pot of soup.
"Delicious."
Ying Bing blew on it, her cheeks flushed like rosy clouds as she drank.
"The scales of this fish are golden. It's probably not an ordinary one, it has a lot of Qi."
Li Mo tasted a bowl, and a warm current spread through his limbs and bones.
Ordinary carp wouldn't be this nourishing.
"Wait."
After drinking the soup, Ying Bing pointed at the soup pot, and the temperature instantly dropped, turning the pot of fish into fish jelly.
"You're quite good at eating... Hmm?"
Li Mo realized something was wrong: "You just wiggled your finger and made the temperature drop. Why were you so afraid of it being hot just now?"
"I wasn't afraid of it being hot," Ying Bing said.
Little Li was even more puzzled: "Then why were you blowing on it?"
"Life needs a sense of ritual."
When Ying Bing said this, her tone didn't sound like herself, and her beautiful eyes sparkled with a strange light.
"??"
Little Li, who felt something was off, felt even more uneasy.
Why did that sound so out of place and yet familiar?
My goodness, life needs a sense of ritual! He almost thought he had woken up too quickly, thinking he hadn't Transmigrated.
However, when she, as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, said this, it was even more irresistible, making Little Li forget this oddity.
Time passed.
Gradually, it was the middle of the night. The river wind was cold and desolate, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the boat had reached the center of the river.
"Hehehe... I didn't want to act, but who knew you would be so bold as to capture the River God's kin? I have no choice but to throw you to the fish!"
"Madman! Harming people and finding so many excuses, you're courting death!"
"Are you alright?!"
Suddenly, there were shouts from outside.
Although Li Mo was new to the Jianghu, he didn't dare to sleep soundly. He frowned, got up, and poked his head out.
He saw on the deck that the group of people dressed as a dart agency had already drawn their swords, their Aura fierce. freewebnøvel.coɱ
A beautiful Young Miss, however, had transformed into a powerful Young Miss, wielding a hammer and smashing it with extreme ferocity.
Meanwhile, the boatman and the deckhands on the boat turned pale and trembled like sieves.
"What the heck is happening?"
Li Mo's mouth twitched slightly.
He had thought about being a hero saving a beauty, but he never expected to see a beautiful woman wielding a hammer, ready to smash someone's head in.
The Jianghu was really not what he imagined, you idiot!
No sooner said than done, he had already leaped out of the carriage.
Clang—
Dong Ge Yu had initially thought he could take down the boatman first, but who knew that the other side of the hammer would transmit such a tremendous Recoil Force .
She staggered back six steps before steadying herself, her tiger's mouth split open, her whole body numb. Looking up, she saw it was the young man named Li Mo.
Their group had been prepared, yet Li Mo wasn't even drugged by the boatman?
"What are you doing?"
"Naturally, I'm stopping you from committing violence. You are a beautiful lady, why have you become a river bandit!"
"Are you stupid? How do I look like a bandit?"
After speaking, a black line appeared on Dong Ge Yu's forehead.
She noticed Li Mo looking at the hammer in her hand, as if to say, 'Who uses this as a proper weapon?'
"Do you want to see what weapon you're using!"
Dong Ge Yu was furious and pointed at the boatman: "He is the bandit who colludes with demons!"
"Ah?"
Li Mo saw the other party trembling with anger, and only then did he turn around and see.
A huge dark shadow was vaguely emerging from the river, and the boatman, as if he had seen a savior, spread his arms and shouted:
"River God, you've finally arrived!"
..."Sorry."
Li Mo silently retracted his hammer.
No wonder they all said the Jianghu was deep. Who could untangle the situation in front of them with a few CPUs in their head? fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
"Never mind, that boatman is just an accomplice. We came here to eliminate demons anyway. Please lend a hand later!"
Dong Ge Yu looked solemnly at the dark shadow emerging from the water.
Li Mo had no objection. He had just wrongly accused a good person, and now they were all in the same boat.
Drip-drop—
The dark shadow, several times larger than the large boat, had completely surfaced.
Under the dim lamplight, one could clearly see that it was an ugly, mud-covered catfish, without legs, but with human-like hands.
"Second Uncle... where are you!"
With a roar, it stirred up turbid waves that swept across the sky.
Splash—
A large net suddenly descended from the sky, enveloping it. It was Dong Ao who had made his move.
He led many dart escorts, pulling the fishing net made of special material. Seeing the opponent caught in the net, his face turned grim.
This catfish demon was more powerful than they had imagined... Suddenly, with a 'snap,' the fishing net burst.
"You give back my Second Uncle!"
"Who the hell is your Second Uncle!"
"A golden carp! Don't tell me you didn't see it. It disappeared right here with you!"
Li Mo: "..."
What could he say? 'Your Second Uncle was delicious'?
"I nourished my Second Uncle with my Qi for many years. As long as I eat it, I can reach the next level. You all deserve to die!"
How filial! No wonder this cunning demon lost its mind.
"Not good, this demon is so strong in the water!"
Dong Ge Yu also stepped forward to help.
She quickly looked at Li Mo: "Either you escape now, or you come up and help!"
Li Mo, however, stood still, only raising his hammer in a daze.
He suddenly laughed, a bitter, grinding laugh:
"To hell with your Jianghu dream of slaying demons and monsters! I'll hammer you to death!"
He suddenly leaped into the air, reaching the struggling catfish in the fishing net in an instant.
Bang—
The hammer's wind broke through the air, the river water froze, and then exploded dozens of feet high. The catfish was smashed under the water and then blasted into the sky by the splash, almost turning belly up on the spot.
This person's Hammer Technique clearly had no Legacy power from the Heavenly Immortal clan, so why was it so terrifying!
No, it couldn't even escape!
In its desperation, it saw a glimmer of hope.
There was a serene woman in the carriage, hiding there as if nothing was happening.
She must be a very important person, right?
