"Boom boom boom..."
The thunder grew louder and louder, the rain intensified, and the wind picked up.
Jiang Huai'an, who was driving, complained: "I checked the weather forecast before I left home. It was supposed to be a sunny day. How come there was thunder and lightning and a torrential downpour all of a sudden? This weather forecast is so inaccurate."
Chu Yu frowned and suggested, "It's not advisable to drive long distances in heavy rain. Let's find an exit to get off the highway later, then find a place to park the car and wait for the rain to subside before driving again."
"OK."
Jiang Huai'an looked at the road ahead and said, "There's a big bridge ahead. After crossing the bridge, there's a gas station not far away. The gas station is on higher ground, so it won't be flooded. Let's park the car there."
"good."
The car drove on for a short while before a large river appeared ahead, with a bridge spanning it.
After the car drove onto the bridge, the rain intensified, strong winds blew all around, and water mist filled the air, reducing visibility to only one or two meters.
The river water beneath the bridge surged higher and higher, making a loud, crashing sound, and even the bridge surface trembled slightly.
Chu Yu sensed something and his expression changed: "There's a demonic aura!"
Jiang Huai'an's heart skipped a beat. He looked around anxiously and asked, "Where is this demonic aura coming from?"
Chu Yu looked down at the river below the bridge. Not far upstream, a huge white creature was swimming towards the bridge.
Upon closer inspection, it resembled a white dragon, with a massive body, a ferocious face, and an overwhelming demonic aura. Wherever it went, it stirred up waves several meters high, inspiring fear in all who beheld it.
Jiang Huai'an noticed it and exclaimed in shock, "Holy crap! What is that? Is it a dragon?"
Chu Yu shook his head with a gloomy expression: "It doesn't look like a dragon, it looks like a jiao!"
Seeing the enormous dragon, Chu Yu's heart pounded wildly. He never expected a dragon to suddenly appear on the river!
Jiang Huai'an, realizing something, said tremblingly, "Could we have encountered a dragon?!"
Legend has it that during the rainy season, dragons would travel through rivers to the sea to undergo tribulation, a practice known as "walking the dragon."
Chu Yu took a deep breath and said urgently, "Yes, it's a dragon-walking creature. Encountering a dragon-walking creature is too dangerous. Quickly drive the car across; perhaps we'll be safe once we're across the river."
Jiang Huai'an nodded and urgently stepped on the gas, speeding up.
At this moment, the river surface was surging with waves, and the bridge surface began to shake violently. Suddenly, the dragon in the water roared angrily at the front of the bridge surface, causing the bridge surface to shake violently. The street lamp posts on both sides broke instantly and fell onto the bridge surface, creating large craters.
Jiang Huai'an was terrified: "My God, what is this dragon trying to do? Does it want to destroy this bridge?"
Chu Yu also broke out in a cold sweat.
Dragons are different from ordinary demons and monsters. They have cultivated for thousands or even tens of thousands of years and are extremely powerful. Look at this dragon, its body is so big and its demonic aura is terrifyingly strong. It has cultivated for at least tens of thousands of years and is only one step away from transforming into a dragon. It is not something that metaphysicians like them can deal with.
The only way now is not to provoke it and to get off the bridge as soon as possible.
They tried to avoid the dragon, but the dragon had its sights set on them. It didn't want their car to leave, and when the car was not far from the road, the dragon suddenly flew up from the water.
The enormous tail slammed onto the bridge surface with a deafening roar, causing the bridge to explode and quickly break apart.
Jiang Huai'an and Chu Yu in the car both changed their expressions.
The bridge ahead collapsed, and the car sped forward. Jiang Huai'an tried to brake, but the brakes suddenly failed, and the car couldn't stop at all. Chu Yu anxiously took out a talisman, hoping to use its power to control the car and stop it. However, the talisman suddenly failed, and the car flew out with a whoosh and plunged into the turbulent river.
Meanwhile, in the capital city, at Yufuyuan Garden.
Fu Yunche was sitting at his desk in the study, handling official business.
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. He clutched his chest, and then everything went black as he fainted.
The next second, he suddenly opened his eyes after fainting. His eyes had turned blood red and were radiating a cold, bloodthirsty light.
He stood up, looked out the window, his face grim: "Something happened to her!"
He opened the window, raised his hand and summoned a black divine sword. With a flick of his wrist, the black divine sword instantly flew out of the study, soaring into the sky and shooting off into the distance.
...
On Chu Yu's side.
After the car fell into the river, the icy water rushed in, and the car sank.
If it were an ordinary person, they probably wouldn't be able to escape in such a critical situation. But Chu Yu and Jiang Huai'an were metaphysicians, and both of them were good swimmers. They quickly calmed down from their panic, held their breath, opened the car door, and swam out of the car.
Just as the two swam to the surface, the dragon on the river suddenly roared at them. A powerful sound wave, accompanied by a huge wave, swept them into the water with a splash, carrying them dozens of feet away.
Chu Yu couldn't keep her balance and choked on several mouthfuls of water in the current.
In her anxiety, she tried to use magic or talismans to escape, but her spiritual power was suppressed by the powerful demonic energy of the dragon, making it impossible for her to use magic, and the talismans also became ineffective.
Escaping would be extremely difficult.
Chu Yu struggled in the water for a long time before she came to her senses.
She poked her head out of the water and looked around, but couldn't see Jiang Huai'an. She was very worried and wondered how he was doing.
She looked toward the bridge, which had broken in two. A dragon flew out of the water and landed on the broken bridge. It raised its head and looked toward Chu Yu, its eyes filled with murderous intent.
Chu Yu looked at the dragon and tried to reason with it: "Brother Dragon, we are just passersby and did not mean to disturb your dragon journey. Please be magnanimous and let us go."
The dragon ignored her words. It roared and leaped off the bridge, opening its blood-red maw as it charged toward Chu Yu, intending to tear her apart.
An extremely strong pressure and killing intent rushed in, and Chu Yu's expression changed instantly. He gritted his teeth and was about to summon the Demon-Subduing Umbrella to fight it when suddenly, a white light flashed in the sky, and a black ancient sword flew in with destructive attack power and killing intent, piercing through the dragon's body with lightning speed.
The dragon let out a miserable cry, and its body suddenly exploded, with pieces of flesh and blood spraying down from the sky, staining the river water red.
Chu Yu was suddenly struck by the explosive force, and was thrown backward by a huge wave. After falling into the water, she lost consciousness and sank to the bottom.
Just then, a force surged into the turbulent river, like a giant, invisible hand, supporting the sinking Chu Yu and pulling him out of the water.
The force placed Chu Yu in a patch of grass on the riverbank. The next second, a black light streaked across the river and transformed into a man in green robes in front of Chu Yu.
The man was dressed in an antique-style blue robe, with long silver hair cascading down his back. He had fair skin, a tall and straight figure, and an extremely handsome face.
His pupils were golden, radiating a cold light, and he had golden scales on his forehead. He was both demonic and gloomy.
