482 My Chin Falls off When I Find out the Truth (2/2)
After all, he was just someone who traveled to the past. The lead disciple who could influence the decision of the sect was… the Big Brother Ouyang Shang.
Because of this, Wang Lu willingly followed Ouyang Shang's side, ready to adapt according to the circumstances. Although, theoretically, with his current Jindan Stage power he might not be enough to go against the heaven, but for so many years since his debut, he could no longer be judged based on theory.
”Very well, then let me look at how good this flood dragon of Blessed Mountain is.”
With that, Wang Lu passed by Ouyang Shang to arrive on Blessed Fountain one step faster. When his feet fell into the water, the creature in the depth of the fountain was suddenly awakened.
”Roar!”
The surface of the water broke from the sound of that roar, which rushed to the sky like a column. However, Wang Lu immediately launched his Non-Phase Sword Defense, putting himself right at the top of the water column. Although he was being impacted by the water column, his feet stood on top of that bursting water and his posture was indescribably calm.
However, Ouyang Shang who stood beside the fountain suddenly had his countenance changed. ”Junior Brother Wang Lu, be careful!”
He warned because, when the water soared up and reached its highest point, it came down again like rain and then its droplets hit the vegetation by the fountain, but they gave off pungent smoke, and the plants that were splashed by the water droplets withered and turned brown. The animals on the forest that were splashed by those droplets also fell to the ground. The fur all over their body fell, blood dripped, and they died in pain. In an instant, the water of this Blessed Fountain turned into a highly toxic liquid! Its intensity was far more dangerous than imagined. The creatures that had existed here for a long time didn't even have any resistance toward the toxic water.
Since the droplets of water were already that severe, the pressure on Wang Lu who stood right in the middle of the water column could also be imagined.
However, Wang Lu didn't care about this. After he had propped up his Non-Phase Sword Defense, he still had ample force to pierce the water with his Primal Chaos Heaven Splitting Sword Qi. The sword qi was chilly and soft, and it silently extended through the water column downward, until it touched something that it shouldn't touch.
The next moment, a huge sense of crisis surged in the heart of Wang Lu and Ouyang Shang at the same time.
”Retreat.”
Wang Lu lightly opened his mouth to warn while he rode his Sword of Mount Kun and flew away, no longer provoking the flood dragon of the Blessed Fountain.
Ouyang Shang was even more vigilant. Without the need for Wang Lu to warn him, he had already fled the place.
The next moment, dark clouds covered the sky over Blessed Fountain, and only flashes of thunder could be heard. Then torrential rain poured down, like a river sky that leaked down to the ground. The fountain, which was not filled with much water, began to rise rapidly. The water devoured everything on the bank and then expanded into a vast lake, and in the depths of the lake, countless pairs of fierce eyes opened abruptly.
——
”Haha, playing with a Yuanying Stage old monster is really exciting.”
At this time, over five kilometers away, Wang Lu and Ouyang Shang had entered the safe zone. Wang Lu descended from the sky with a satisfied smile.
Similarly, there was also a smile on Ouyang Shang's face but hidden within it several points of seriousness.
”The flood dragon of this Blessed Fountain is stronger than expected. Thirty years ago when the Sect Elder passed by, it could only rely on the potential of its surrounding. But now, it could actually link with the power of the sky. Moreover, in the fountain, they are not just simple underlings, they have evolved into flood dragons. Although their number has become less, their overall strength has become much stronger.”
Ouyang Shang's eyesight was extremely good. When the water on the Blessed Fountain rose, he only took a quick glance to know the rough strength profile of the flood dragon, but after seeing it clearly, he was instead startled.
”It seems that the plan to set the site at Blessed Fountain needs to be adjusted.” Ouyang Shang nodded his head and then suddenly changed the topic.
”Um... So... Junior Brother Wang Lu, there's something that I actually wanted to ask you but I didn't. But now, I have to ask it… who exactly are you?”
Ouyang Shang looked at Wang Lu with his burning but not threatening gaze, and also filled with sincerity, just like a young girl in love.
Wang Lu let out a smile. ”Didn't you say it already, that I am the illegitimate child of the Sect Leader?”
”That's impossible.” Ouyang Shang's tone of voice was very certain. ”A mere illegitimate child of the Sect Leader couldn't possibly obstruct the poisonous water of the flood dragon of Blessed Fountain. The water of that fountain contains the basic essence of the main body of the thousand-year-old flood dragon and its corrosiveness is extremely strong. Even if I were to resist it, I would've struggled very hard to do it. But you did not only manage to block it, you even did it with ease.”
Wang Lu shrugged. ”About this, although I feel a bit embarrassed to say it, but…”
”Based on your action, your strength is indeed above mine.” Ouyang Shang said, ”But for this reason, I'm pretty sure that you're not the illegitimate child of the Sect Leader.”
”Oh? What do they have to do with each other?”
Ouyang Shang said, ”Because I am the illegitimate child of the Sect Leader.”
”Holy sh*t.”
