C217 Fighting the Flood Dragon with All His Strength
Du Qi used his left thumb and two fingers to hold the inner core in front of him and saw that it was green and plain. It was like a dragon eye core. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes... No one would believe that it had once illuminated the surroundings with a bright light, and its strength was even more powerful than before. Scholar Xiaofang had used up all the strength in his body to not be able to take it, but he had nearly exhausted two types of true essence.
He looked at the inner core and enjoyed the pleasure it brought. Du Qi vaguely felt that the inner core seemed to have a cold and evil poisonous Qi. He could clearly feel that its powerful force was completely contained within. It seemed as if it wanted to surge into his body to find a place to rest, but it also seemed as if it was afraid of something and did not dare to act rashly. Regarding this, Du Qi could not help but feel surprised and confused. For a moment, he didn't know how to deal with this Inner Core in his hand.
Suddenly, the river water suddenly emitted a "Hualala!" Yes. With a loud sound, a huge water hill that was about a thousand feet tall suddenly appeared in the middle of the river not far away from the downstream. It directly covered the passenger ship. But halfway, the huge water hill had already fallen into the river. It caused a thick mist to rise on the surface of the river. Within the watery mist, the young Flood Dragon opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards Du Qi like an arrow, seeming to be somewhat flustered and exasperated.
In an instant, the storm that was about to stop suddenly became even stronger. Scholar Xiaofang, Du Qi, and Looh Miaoer, who were on the balcony, were all shocked. Scholar Xiaofang could no longer stop the young Flood Dragon's attack. Looh Miaoer screamed wildly and hurriedly took out the Moon Corrosion sword and slashed at the incoming young Flood Dragon.
Almost at the moment the young Flood Dragon jumped up from the river, Du Qi suddenly felt that the inner core seemed to be "alive" and wanted to break free from his fingers and escape. He quickly squeezed it into his palm. He circulated his pure Yang True Yuan and firmly wrapped it. When he saw the young Flood Dragon rushing towards the ship with an irresistible force, he did not have the time to think about it. He quickly threw the inner core that was tightly wrapped by his Pure Yang True Yuan towards the center of the river. At the same time, his right hand condensed the True Yuan that came from the jade pendant. Hu! His palm struck towards the young Flood Dragon through the air.
The inner core was wrapped by Du Qi's pure Yang true essence, as if it was stored in a bag. As a result, the force of the inner pellet was still unable to be released. It was still like an ordinary bead. After Du Qi threw it out, there was still a thread of true essence that was connected to him, like a rope that was tied to a bag. It was firmly held in his hand.
Perhaps the young Flood Dragon only wanted to take back his inner core, or perhaps it was afraid of Looh Miaoer's sword qi and Du Qi's palm force. It actually turned around in the air and chased after the inner core that Du Qi threw out. Its huge tail swept across the top of the ship, causing a large portion of the people on the ship to fall to the ground. Even Scholar Xiaofang could not keep his body steady, and kept rolling on the boat deck.
Suddenly, there was a series of explosive sounds. Three of the masts were swept away by the roots and fell back to the back of the ship. The cabin roof of the second floor was also blown away. It broke into countless pieces in the air and fell into the weeds on the shore. The fierce wind mixed with the heavy rain poured violently into the second floor's cabin, and it instantly caused a wave of terrified screams and shouts to arise.
Just as the young Flood Dragon turned around, Du Qi suddenly withdrew his inner core. When the young Flood Dragon realized it was about to turn around and chase after him, its momentum had already run out. A loud sound rang out as it fell into the river not far from the ship, causing a huge wave to almost capsize their ship. A few waves pounced onto the deck, mixing with the rainwater that leaked out from the second floor and flowing in all directions. The people on the ship who saw it were all shocked. Along with the people who were thrown away due to the violent shaking of the ship, they all cried out in terror as if they were facing the end of the world.
Looh Miaoer's sword missed, and she hurriedly stabilized her body. Then, she swung her sword at the young Flood Dragon that had fallen into the river. The powerful sword Qi produced a hissing sound as it pierced through the air. It was like a bolt of lightning as it solidly struck the back of the young Flood Dragon. It actually produced a sound that sounded like metal colliding. The young Flood Dragon was hit by Looh Miaoer's sharp sword Qi. However, its body sank slightly into the river and was actually not damaged at all. It seemed like it wanted to jump out of the river and rush towards them. However, it was not enough. It could only float in the river and stare at Du Qi and Looh Miaoer hatefully.
When the sword qi hit the young Flood Dragon, not only did it not hurt the young Flood Dragon, Looh Miaoer felt her entire body tremble. She could not help but feel shocked, but she still desperately swung the sword in her hand towards the young Flood Dragon. In a moment, there was only a series of crackling sounds. Looh Miaoer swung out 27 times in a row, and each sword's powerful sword qi slashed at the back of the young Flood Dragon's neck and other places. But the young Flood Dragon was still not damaged at all, but Looh Miaoer felt weak in her breath. She could not help but take two steps back and bend her waist to support the sword on the boat deck as she gasped for breath.
In the violent shaking and storm, the people on the ship rushed to the deck in a panic. All of them shouted that they wanted to abandon the ship and board the ship, and some of them were even more anxious and reckless. They ran towards the bow on the side of the river. Seeing this, Du Qi could not help but shout, "Everyone, don't panic. It's more dangerous outside. Go back to the cabin!"
Du Qi's voice was loud and clear, like a clap of thunder that drowned out all the noise. It was clearly heard by everyone's ears, and they immediately quieted down. They all stopped in their tracks and looked at the platform, only to see Du Qi standing steadily next to the railing at the very front. He raised his right hand and pressed it into the river.
Everyone looked in the direction of his attack, puzzled. They saw Du Qi pressing his palm. The river was covered in a white light, and there seemed to be a huge black thing in the middle of the river. It was moving up and down along with Du Qi's attack. They knew what it was without even thinking. They were all shocked. They shouted and ran back to the cabin in a hurry.
Du Qi's Qi hit the young Flood Dragon and felt that it was gathering power. It seemed like it wanted to attack them again, but Scholar Xiaofang was still rolling on the boat deck and could not get up. Looh Miaoer had used too much strength and could no longer fight. The whereabouts of the generous man was also unknown. Only Elder Ren had the ability to help him block the attack of the young Flood Dragon. But he was already old and needed to protect Ma Yuxiao's safety. Du Qi really did not want him to fight, so he could only use the True Yuan from the jade pendant. He attacked the young Flood Dragon continuously to stop it from condensing its force. He wanted to wait for Scholar Xiaofang to recover his power or for the generous man to return.
When he was using his strength to retrieve the inner core, Du Qi had already used up most of his two true essences. Now, he was controlling the inner core while attacking the young Flood Dragon. These two streams of true essence seemed to be on the verge of drying up, but he didn't dare to use his pure Yin true essence to attack the young Flood Dragon. Perhaps it was because of the abundant pure Yin true essence in his body that he still had the strength to summon the remaining two streams of true essence to resist the young Flood Dragon and inner core.
The young Flood Dragon that was immersed in the river water suddenly shot up into the sky along with a water hill. As soon as it rose into the air, it jumped out of the water hill, its massive head shaking.
