Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 164 - 74: The Mighty Dragon Fish, Shi Xiaoyuan Transforms_2
Chapter 164: Chapter 74: The Mighty Dragon Fish, Shi Xiaoyuan Transforms_2
Because a normal White Dragon Fish generally has a length of only three feet.
Yet this particular White Dragon Fish measured a full five feet seven, nearly double the size compared to a regular White Dragon Fish.
In the animal kingdom, size is an indication of something extraordinary, and a symbol of strength.
The larger the White Dragon Fish, a cunning aquatic creature of such kind, the stronger it is, but it also means the greater its benefits for the human body.
Shi Xiaoyuan was naturally very pleased.
Just then,
two people threw their hands forward, casting two fishing nets towards the White Dragon Fish in a flash.
At each corner of the nets hung iron balls.
Once ensnared by the net, the crisscrossing iron balls would restrict the White Dragon Fish’s movements.
The next moment,
the White Dragon Fish flicked its tail, striking precisely against the iron balls on the net.
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
The iron balls flew off, striking the already decaying cabin and instantly blowing several large holes in it.
Immediately after,
the White Dragon Fish sped up.
Its slender and elongated shape let it move exceptionally quickly in the water.
Like a flash of white light, it crossed a distance of several yards in an instant, drawing close to the few people.
“Perfect timing!!”
Shi Xiaoyuan remained calm and immediately slashed at the White Dragon Fish with his knife.
The following moment,
he felt as if his blade had sliced through air, grazing past the body of the White Dragon Fish.
At this time, the White Dragon Fish had dodged the knife.
With a flick of its tail,
it instantly turned ninety degrees.
The sudden change allowed it to bypass Shi Xiaoyuan and charge directly at the people behind him.
“Such a cunning beast!!” Shi Xiaoyuan’s eyes flickered with rage.
After dissipating the explosive force in his hands, he turned with his knife, only to see two people behind him each holding a corner of a fishing net.
Together, they instantly enveloped the White Dragon Fish in the net.
But before he had time to rejoice,
he saw the White Dragon Fish, bound by the net, open its mouth wide, flaunting two rows of serrated white teeth.
Under the gnashing of those teeth, the initially durable net became extremely fragile and was easily torn open by the White Dragon Fish.
Then, its slender and elongate body slipped through the hole in an instant.
“Not good!” Seeing this, Shi Xiaoyuan felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
He sensed an ominous presence.
The next moment,
thud—
thud—
With a flick of its tail, two people were sent flying backward, spewing blood from their mouths.
Then,
Boom—
Boom—
Their impact further destroyed the rotten wooden planks of the ship, creating two large holes.
Elsewhere,
Jiang Ning floated outside the ship like a ghost.
Through several gaps in the cabin, he clearly witnessed the scene.
“This White Dragon Fish… such explosive power!” Jiang Ning inwardly muttered.
Because those who had entered the water with Shi Xiaoyuan were all true Ninth Grade Martial Artists.
And Ninth Grade Martial Artists, in front of this White Dragon Fish, appeared to stand little chance of fighting back.
A flick of its tail against their chests had caused the two men internal injuries.
Such wounds might be manageable on land and certainly not life-threatening.
But now was different.
They were deep underwater, and even in good condition, it would take them at least two to three minutes to surface.
Now, with their internal organs damaged and blood spewing from their mouths, the oxygen in their lungs would naturally be depleted.
Under such circumstances, how could they possibly survive?
…
At this moment,
Shi Xiaoyuan slashed with his knife again.
But because he was underwater, hindered by the water’s resistance, his knife speed was several times slower than it would be on land.
This slash merely glanced off the White Dragon Fish’s scales.
Clang—
In the dimly lit ship, a spark flashed momentarily, accompanied by the sound of metal striking metal.
Shi Xiaoyuan’s expression changed once again.
He realized that the situation was evolving beyond his expectations.
The power of this White Dragon Fish was beyond his anticipation.
Although the blade did not strike solidly, it did hit the fish’s scales.
But the feedback from the scales was akin to metal, not only producing the noise of clashing metal but also sparking a fire.
Such strength had already surpassed that of copper skin.
At this moment, even though he had felt confident before, Jiang Ning now felt somewhat uneasy.
Such a strong defensive power, and on the White Dragon Fish’s home turf.
He realized that taking down the White Dragon Fish wouldn’t be so easy.
At the same time,
as Shi Xiaoyuan’s blade struck, the White Dragon Fish, pained by the attack, had its speed surge once again.
It came before another person, its tail whipping out again.
Instantly, it seemed as though an iron whip had lashed out.
Boom—
This lash landed solidly on that person’s arm.
But even with the arm blocking, that person was still sent flying backwards, his complexion ashen, clearly enduring the pain with all his might.
“Escape—”
Shi Xiaoyuan spoke up, the ripples in the water carrying his clear voice to everyone’s ears.
Upon hearing this command, the remaining three instantly turned to flee.
But they were decisive, and the White Dragon Fish was faster.
In the water, it was like a white dragon, instantly reaching behind one of them.
With a bite,
Sss—
Its serrated teeth sank deeply into that person’s neck, after which flesh was torn away.
“Beast!!” Shi Xiaoyuan’s eyes bulged with fury.
These people were all pillars of the Green Snake Gang, good hands at the Martial Arts Ninth Grade.
If they were all to fall here, the entire Green Snake Gang would plummet.
And his position as Gang Leader would exist in name only.
This moment Shi Xiaoyuan had no reservations left, stepping off the floor, he too followed closely in speed, intending to protect the others.
Right now, he had no interest in dealing with the White Dragon Fish.
Because it was quite clear that the strength of the White Dragon Fish was not any weaker.
And its speed in the water was too fast.
Without the constraint of a fishing net, he couldn’t even catch up with the White Dragon Fish’s speed, let alone capture this spiritual fish.
So at this moment, even though he was reluctant, he knew he was out of luck with this White Dragon Fish.
Now he could only cut his losses and return to the surface with the remaining few, then make other decisions.
But the next moment,
Shi Xiaoyuan stopped in his tracks because he found he had been overly optimistic.
Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.
He had let the others go ahead, and when the White Dragon Fish caught up,
he was simply too late to rescue them.
Under the White Dragon Fish’s full-on assault, one after another met their deaths, their blood spreading and staining the waters red.
In the blink of an eye,
there was only Shi Xiaoyuan left on the whole wreck.
Outside the sunken ship,
Jiang Ning was watching this scene.
“What a powerful White Dragon Fish!” he thought with a bit of amazement.
In the blink of an eye, a total of five Ninth Grade experts had been killed here.
The strength of this White Dragon Fish was far greater than that of its kind.
According to the records, although the White Dragon Fish was one of the overlords of the waters,
an experienced old fisherman, with complete gear, could possibly capture a White Dragon Fish.
Thus, the strength demonstrated by this White Dragon Fish was simply not something an ordinary person could handle.
Ninth Grade experts were instantly killed on contact.
This kind of strength, if on land, even an ordinary Eighth Grade Divine Power Realm strongman would find hard to achieve.
At the same time, Jiang Ning was secretly excited.
Because the stronger the White Dragon Fish was, the more it represented a greatly nourishing spiritual fish.
On the other side,
Shi Xiaoyuan watched the White Dragon Fish with a grave look.
Yet, there was a playful look in the fish’s eyes.
“Truly extraordinary intelligence!” Shi Xiaoyuan thought, watching that gaze.
“If so, there’s no other choice!” he thought to himself again.
With things at this juncture, he also now only wanted to take a gamble and attempt to slay this extraordinary White Dragon Fish.
Only in this way could he recoup some of the losses.
Only then would these people’s sacrifices be worth something.
At this point, he was even more convinced that with such strength, there must be some extraordinary Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures nearby.
Without the aid of such things, an ordinary White Dragon Fish could never grow to possess such strength.
Scales hard as iron, a force that could burst with tens of thousands of taels of strength.
If it weren’t for such terrifying power, how could the pillars of the Green Snake Gang have suddenly fallen here?
So as long as he took down this White Dragon Fish, he could get his hands on this greatly nourishing spiritual fish.
And he could also find possibly some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures nearby.
Moreover, then the warehouse full of iron ore would belong to him as well.
“Since that’s the case, then there’s no need to hold back!” Shi Xiaoyuan made up his mind completely.
The next moment,
with the thought in his mind,
Crack crack—
The sound of his bones and joints would be heard, his muscles writhing and contorting gruesomely.
His stature also continued to increase, and in a blink, he reached over seven feet tall, turning into a muscle monster covered in lumps, completely unrecognizable as Shi Xiaoyuan.
