Moonlight like water.
It made the calm lake surface resemble a hazy mirror.
It was exceptionally tranquil.
Splash splash...
A sound of water arose, and a speedboat was seen breaking through the water surface, speeding along.
On the boat, two muscular figures with bare upper bodies, rowing, as if flying on water.
"Brother, if we can catch that Azure Dragon this time, we’ll be rich."
A fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy on the stern whispered, his tone filled with excitement and anticipation.
"What are you thinking about? Whether we can catch it or not is still unknown."
The hearty young man standing at the bow said.
Suddenly, the fishing boat gradually came to a stop.
"It should be just ahead, according to the habits of the Azure Dragon, in this season, it usually has a territory, it won’t be too far away."
The young man at the bow pointed forward.
Then, the two stopped rowing and let the boat slide forward with the inertia.
After a while, the boat came to a complete stop.
The two stopped talking and silently prepared their fishing gear.
It was unknown how much time had passed.
Suddenly, the muscular young man jerked powerfully, feeling a tremendous force nearly pulling him into the water.
He steadied himself on the boat’s post, his feet seemed to be tightly connected to the boat, his lower body immobile, his muscles erupted with astonishing strength.
"Brother, got a bite?"
The boy saw this scene and couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.
"I don’t know, but... this one’s heavy, looking at its ferocity, it should be that Azure Dragon."
The muscular young man controlled the fishing rod rhythmically, slowly reeling it in, his heart also filled with immense joy.
After a struggle, the creature underwater seemed exhausted, the muscular young man began to reel in, and as a dark shadow was dragged out from the water, it thrashed violently, splashing the water surface, its scales shimmering with a cold bluish light under the moonlight.
"It really is an Azure Dragon..."
The boy exclaimed.
This snake-like fish was over a meter long, extremely ferocious in appearance, with elegant cold blue scales.
"We’re rich, we struck it rich.."
The muscular young man could no longer suppress his joy.
This kind of Azure Dragon Fish, in Pingze Lake, was considered prime... It was said that its meat was delicious and even beneficial for martial artists.
Catching such an Azure Dragon Fish, the money earned would be enough for his brother to participate in the Divine Sword Sect’s Inner Sect trial.
But just as the two brothers were ecstatic, about to pull the Azure Dragon Fish aboard, suddenly beneath the water surface, the waves surged again, a huge dark shadow cut through the water, charging violently towards the boat.
Along with a violent crash.
The whole boat was directly smashed in half from the middle, wood splinters flying.
Following that, a dark green colored large fish three zhang long shot out from the water, its smooth lines, seemingly an enlarged version of the Azure Dragon Fish.
The two brothers, still not fallen into the water, saw this horrifying figure, and shivered all over.
They had never seen such a big Azure Dragon Fish.
This must be a pesky spirit, right?
Splash...
The two brothers, along with the broken overturned fishing boat, plunged into the water without any surprise.
Yet even so, the muscular young man still didn’t let go of the fishing rod, clinging to the Azure Dragon Fish with his excellent swimming skills.
Suddenly.
A huge dark shadow burst from beneath, biting the muscular young man.
Accompanied by a piercing scream, the muscular young man was bitten in half, his blood dyeing the water red.
"Brother...."
The boy faintly saw this scene, crying out in shock and anger, holding a fork in his hand, he desperately swam towards his muscular brother.
"Run...."
The muscular young man, his lower half still alive, looked in his brother’s direction, muttering sounds from his mouth, but soon he was dead.
The enormous dark shadow in the water, letting go of the half body, charged rapidly towards the boy.
.....
On the deserted island.
Although puzzled, Li Qian didn’t dwell too much on it.
With the Chen Bell in place, he didn’t believe that the Heartless Sword Intent couldn’t break through to the Heavenly Phenomenon Level.
Moreover, this breakthrough to the Heavenly Human Realm had pushed the progress of Heartless Sword Intent to 99, saving him over ten months of time, which was a pleasant surprise.
He looked up at the sky, it wasn’t too late.
This breakthrough went quite smoothly.
Thus he soared into the sky.
This flight, compared to the previous method he used, consumed much less.
Whoosh!
He flew towards the direction of the Divine Sword Sect.
Suddenly, he heard a shout of alarm and anger from the right side of the water surface, so he flew over and saw a sinking broken boat, a body bitten in half, a huge beast over three zhang in length, and a young boy holding a fish spear, swimming hard.
"Is this a mutated fish?"
Li Qian was quite surprised.
This was the first time he saw such a big fish.
Though in the ocean, such a size wasn’t much.
But this was Pingze Lake.
And, looking at the appearance of the fish, it seemed to be the locally famous Azure Dragon Fish.
He had once had Chores Hall get an Azure Dragon Fish.
The taste was indeed very good.
