C372 Black Water

"There is always a difference between success and failure. The reason why I believe in these thoughts... It's also related to the big monk on the shore. The mutual augmentation and suppression of the five elements is really terrifying. The big monk on the shore's Green Wood Divine Art has encountered the greatest fire in the world. It had been suppressed to begin with. In addition, the monster was very powerful. It should be above me. In just one move, the heart fire in Monk Tong'an's body was ignited, burning with the flame of his life. The external fire ignited the green tree and attacked from both inside and outside. In the end, the monk was reduced to ashes. However, for a monk, this kind of death might still be something that can only be chanced upon by luck."

" However, in the five elements, fire is the one that counters metal, while metal is the one that counters wood. " Tang Ruo was clearly more familiar with these things, so he asked at this time. In the end, he asked Hai Pingtao, whose face turned red.

"Fire reduces metal, and metal reduces wood. That's why fire reduces metal, let alone wood. Furthermore, fire counters gold. Our Qing's name was Hou Jin. We were suppressed by the so-called Fire De in Ming Dynasty, but now it has become clear. It is precisely water that countered fire. As long as I break their Fire De Vein, it's time for the world to change hands."

"Since that is the case, we might as well work together sincerely. We'll help Sect Master Hai break this Fire De Vein, and then give that Shennong Whip to us to return and report. This way, the disciples of the Tang Sect won't have to worry about many risks while refining the poison. " Seeing that Hai Pingtao was in high spirits, Tang Huzhou hurriedly struck while the iron was hot. If both sides joined forces, their strength would increase greatly. He believed that there would be a way to achieve their goal. Furthermore, the relationship between the Tang Sect and the Ming Dynasty wasn't very deep. Perhaps, even if Hai Pingtao didn't do this, he still had to consider making a move.

Hai Pingtao wasn't someone who was easy to get along with.

"The treasure has its merits. Let's first break the Fire De here. As for the Shennong Whip, we haven't even seen its shadow yet. It's not the time to talk about ownership yet."

Regarding the poison and hidden weapons of the Tang Sect, Hai Pingtao wasn't as indifferent as he appeared to be on the surface. If it was an opponent one or two levels higher than Tang Huzhou, it would pose a certain threat to him. If it was an opponent of the same level as him from the Tang Sect, then this unconventional fighting style... He was afraid that it would be very difficult to deal with.

If he had the Shennong Whip, he would at least be immune to the poison of the Tang Sect. This meant that the opponent had lost an arm, and the threat would be less.

Both groups of people had their own thoughts, but overall, they had come to an agreement to work together. Just as they were thinking of ways to break the vein of the Fire De and find the Shennong Whip, they heard a muffled sound not far away. Tang Liangqin, who had wanted to rescue them but was unable to do so, suddenly fell into the pond. His fat body seemed to have shriveled up a lot. After falling, he didn't sink immediately. Instead, he stopped for a moment on the surface of the water. After that, he slowly sank into the pond.

No one went to rescue him because they saw that Tang Liangqin's body seemed to have been hollowed out by a vampire. No matter what, he could not live anymore. They watched him sink down slowly, and waited to see if he would explode like Hai Jianlv had. In the end, his body sank silently until it disappeared. Not even a ripple appeared on the surface of the water.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, a trace of coldness rising in their hearts.

The death of a man from the pugilistic world might not be that terrifying, but to die without a proper burial like this, after all, was not something that was easy to accept.

No one was willing to go near that strange pond, but they were all staring at it. Then, a strange scene appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

A ray of red light suddenly appeared in the white-green pond. The entire pond seemed to have turned into a large red container, and the red color of the water became transparent. It was only now that everyone realized that Tang Liangqin, who had just sunk into the pond, did not sink to the bottom. Instead, his face strangely stopped halfway up. His body was turning at a strange angle, so that half of his body seemed bigger. Under the red light, Tang Liangqin's face seemed to be alive. It was as if he had not died. His big face was full of fear and blame. He might be able to climb out to argue with everyone in the next moment. Why did he not save them?

Everyone was frightened when they saw it.

Tang Ruo, Tang Qi, and the others usually felt that they were very brave. But now, they all felt a chill on their bodies. They had to strengthen their control, or else they might have to fight with both sides.

"Don't be afraid. The sun has come."

Hai Pingtao said coldly, but everyone felt warm when they heard him.

Upon closer inspection, they felt that it was really as Hai Pingtao had said. It was true that the setting sun had entered the small pond, and it had caused such a spectacle just now. However, the setting sun did not shoot straight at him. Instead, it was reflected through the golden leaves of the strange trees and the blood-red trees. The refraction angle was also strange and extraordinary. It had just covered the edge of the small pond. The faint red light was undetectable, but thousands of rays of light converged together and reflected back from the small pond. It was as if the small pond was giving off a red light.

Everyone was dazzled, not knowing if this was the work of nature or if it was deliberately done by an almighty expert.

At this moment, Tang Fuliu suddenly shouted to Tang Qi, who was at the left side of her body, "Be careful behind you." It happened so suddenly that it was obvious that she did not even have the time to call his name.

All this time, Tang Qi had been hiding his strength. He would never reveal his true strength until he reached a certain level. This was because the internal strife in Tang Sect was also very serious. The internal conflicts between different families were also deadly. In order to get to the top, he would do anything, especially when he did not have any backing. It was even more likely that he would be randomly sent to carry out a few very dangerous missions and disappear from the face of the earth.

The combination of Liangqin choosing wood to reside in was his hiding place. A large portion of his martial arts actually came from an unknown source. This was a secret that absolutely could not be told to others. Therefore, he entrusted himself to Master Tang Wu and formed a group with his two brothers. He was not very outstanding, but he had to show that he had a future worth nurturing.

Tang Qi had always been hiding his true strength, and at this moment, his true strength might not be much weaker than Tang Ruo and the others. Even so, if it wasn't for Tang Fuliu's reminder, he would still be in danger of adding himself to the bet.

In fact, Tang Fuliu could only take half of the credit, and the other half was due to the reflection of the sunset. And this half of Tang Fuliu's credit was also largely thanks to her female acute sixth sense. She only felt a wave of uneasiness. At the same time, she felt a light flash from the corner of her eye and shoot towards Tang Qi. Therefore, she immediately warned Tang Qi and a concealed weapon that she had prepared earlier flew out from her sleeve - Black Water.
