Ran Ran was caught off guard and was swept up by the current. Although the eldest senior brother drew out his sword to cut the water, the water only flowed faster. He was unable to stop Ran Ran who was being swept away quickly.

At the moment when he was about to be dragged into the water, Ranran took out a thick stack of green oil-paper lotus leaves from his arms and scattered them onto the river surface like flowers scattered by a fairy.

The seemingly ordinary green oil paper suddenly emitted thousands of golden lights the moment it touched the water. The golden lights soon merged into one, and the light emitted by countless pieces of green oil paper was like a densely woven fishing net, tightly covering a large area of ​​the river surface.

When the golden light was woven into a net, a sharp scream suddenly came from the river. The water flow that was holding her back suddenly loosened, and she was about to fall into the water.

At this moment of life and death, all the mental methods and formulas that he memorized came into play. Ran Ran used the light body technique to land steadily on the lotus leaves cut out of oil paper.

The mysterious power in the water was still struggling, extending streams of water like tentacles. Ranran had been trained by his master to dodge with stones, and now he jumped back and forth as nimbly as a rabbit and dodged in time.

When he got a chance, Ran Ran shouted at the three people standing on the river bank, "Quick! Form a formation and attack!"

The three people were also stunned by Ran Ran's unusually agile skills - this little sister who usually slacked off most of the time except for cooking and eating, actually had such a nimble and bouncy skill!

When they heard the little sister's reminder, they finally reacted and quickly continued to form the formation.

Unfortunately, they reacted too slowly. The power in the river had already gathered strength again, breaking through the golden net and trying to wrap up Ranran again.

At this critical moment, a white cat rushed out from the bushes nearby, and instantly transformed into a Gengjin white tiger, rushing towards the strange wave with a roar.

Ranran took advantage of the situation and jumped onto the white tiger's back. The Gengjin white tiger stepped on the oil-paper lotus leaves with all four feet and suddenly thrust its head towards the water to bite.

With the golden light shining on the lotus leaves, Ran Ran noticed that the white tiger was biting the part of the river where the foam was very heavy. With a sharp howl, streams of black water emerged from there.

Ranran understood that these places where white bubbles were coming out were the weak spots of this water monster.

She shouted again, "Brother, throw the sword over here." This time Gao Cang was finally smarter and quickly threw the long sword in his hand to Ran Ran.

After Xue Ranran caught the long sword, he rode on the tiger's back, clamped his legs around the tiger's waist, and moved back and forth with the white tiger. Whenever he saw the river surface bubbling with white foam, he would thrust his sword into it fiercely.

Just as she guessed, the sword seemed to feel resistance when it pierced into the water, and it actually hit something!

Soon the movement in the water became weaker and weaker. Although the unknown water monster dodged everywhere in the water, it was no match for the White Tiger and was soon pierced all over by Ran Ran's long sword. With a splash of water, it dived to the bottom of the river and escaped.

When the white tiger carrying Ran Ran jumped back to the shore, Qiu Xier rushed to the front, hugged Ran Ran and said excitedly: "Junior sister, you are so amazing!"

The other two brothers also came over and praised the little sister's bravery.

But Ran Ran was a little embarrassed, she knew her own weight. If it weren't for the paper lotus leaves filling the river and the white tiger's blessing, she would have fallen into the river long ago.

Unfortunately, although she stabbed the water demon with the help of the white tiger, it escaped so quickly that she didn't know if it would come back and continue to cause chaos.

Just when the four people were still in shock, the water surface suddenly began to surge again, but this time the sound was even greater, and the waves suddenly rushed straight into the sky.

Apparently the monster had returned, and with even greater force. The paper lotus leaves on the river were soon swept away without a trace.

Ranran looked up at the huge waves, her heart tightening. She felt that no matter how powerful Baihu was, he would not be able to enter the river in such violent waves.

Just as the huge wave was about to hit the river surface like a giant palm, it was suddenly blown away by a strong wind and was pushed up in an instant.

In the sweeping tornado, a figure in a white robe suddenly appeared.

The little ones looked carefully and shouted in unison: "Master!"

It turned out that Su Yishui appeared in time and cast a whirlwind spell to hold back the huge waves. In his hand, he held a branch that he had picked up from somewhere, and stabbed it at the center of the huge wave seemingly at random, and then the earth-shaking wailing was heard again.

Then the water on the river surface shrank, and it looked like it wanted to escape again. However, Su Yishui took a fishing net that he got from somewhere, threw it into the river, and then pulled it back. He actually pulled out a humanoid creature with fish scales and gills from the water, and with a twist of his wrist, he threw it hard on the shore.

The huge wave also fell and fell heavily into the water.

Ran Ran held the sword in both hands, nervously facing the "monster" that was thrown ashore by his master. When he looked carefully, he found that it looked too much like a human, and a very beautiful woman.

Except for the face, "it" has scales all over its body, even webbed fingers, and gill-like things on both sides of its cheeks.

There was an obvious bloody hole on its chest, from which black blood was oozing, and its cheeks were also covered with scars.

Ranran guessed that the bubbles in the water were the monster's gills, so the cheeks must have been stabbed by her, and the fatal wound on the chest must have been caused by her master.

Thinking that Master had not abandoned them and gone far away, but was silently guarding nearby, Ranran's heart warmed up, and he looked at Master with eager eyes.

Unfortunately, the master seemed not to feel the eager gaze of his disciple. He came over with a cold face and said to her in a bad tone: "It is said in the Nine Ways to Subdue Demons that when in danger, you should protect yourself first and don't chase after the enemy. Why did you fight it on a white tiger like you were risking your life just now?"

This... Ran Ran didn't know where to start her rebuttal. If she started from the beginning, she would be in danger, because it was obviously the master who threw them here first!

However, the new Xishan sect rules state that everything the master said is right. Ran Ran could only humbly accept the teachings and promised that he would escape if he could when the demons were subdued in the future.

Seeing that his apprentice was receptive to his teachings, Su Yishui finally stopped looking stern and turned to look at the injured monster.

"Master, what kind of monster is this?" Bai Baishan couldn't recognize it, so he asked.

"She is not a monster, but a woman who has gone astray and practiced the art of beast control."

Beast control? Ran Ran had heard of it when his second uncle was explaining the essence of magic. It was a kind of magic that merged oneself with the body of a beast, in order to change one's mediocre mortal qualities.

For example, if you merge with a tiger or leopard, you can have sharp claws and move very fast. And this woman obviously merged with an aquatic creature like a fish, and has the characteristics of a fish, so she can stir up trouble in the water.

At this time, Su Yishui looked down with a cold face and asked the strange woman: "Why did you lure the soldiers to jump into the river?"

The woman's mouth was bleeding at this time. She stretched out her hands in fear as if asking for help: "I... I have no choice, help... me..."

Xier felt so sorry for her and couldn't bear it, so she took out some hemostatic powder from her bosom and wanted to apply it on her.

But when she just squatted down, the girl's eyes suddenly became fierce, and sharp thorns suddenly grew out of her webbed fingers and stabbed Xier's neck fiercely.

Obviously, the woman knew she didn't have long to live, so she took as many as she could with her.

Fortunately, Su Yishui stretched out his long legs and kicked Xier to the side, barely avoiding it.

The woman's trick failed, and she could only stare at Ran Ran with a smile. Suddenly, her voice became deep and terrifying, and it was no longer the original female voice: "Why... are you out of control? What on earth are you..."

Before she could finish her words, her neck tilted and she died. The red color in her pupils gradually faded and turned dark.

At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and Qin Xuanjiu led his men and horses and came riding and whipping the whip.

When Qin Xuanjiu saw the strange-looking female fishman, he frowned: "How could such a monster appear in Wangxiang River?"

Su Yishui pointed to a talisman-like pattern tattooed on her neck and said, "Someone is controlling her from behind, so she can make a comeback after being injured. She is fighting so desperately, but in fact, she has no choice..."

Ran Ran carefully squatted down and looked at the talisman carefully. It was different from what his master usually taught him. The patterns were much more complicated and there seemed to be some obscure ancient Chinese characters that were difficult to understand.

Qin Xuanjiu frowned. "Someone is controlling this? Just to kill people? What good is this?"

Su Yishui looked at Qin Xuanjiu and said calmly, "With a brain like yours, how could you have served as an official until now?"

Qin Xuanjiu had not expected Su Yishui to attack him so suddenly. He was so angry that his stomach swelled. He was about to retort when Ran Ran, who was standing by, seemed to be thinking about something. He whispered, "Yes, what good is there? Of course, it will make General Qin's position less secure. Didn't they say that an imperial messenger has been sent to investigate General Qin?"

Qin Xuan was so drunk that he shut up. This was the truth. If he was found guilty of mistreating the soldiers and causing them to commit suicide, he would be convicted and lose his position.

But who would go to such great lengths to frame him? You have to know that he was just a general defending a city, which was not a glamorous position. Guarding such a remote place was something that many generals would rather avoid!

Su Yishui looked at the endless Wangxiang River and said to Qin Xuanjiu, "Your master once asked you to guard Wangxiang Pass because it is the boundary between Yin and Yang, a dark place. If there is any disturbance, it must start from here. Someone is deliberately trying to get rid of you. They must think you are hindering them."

Qin Xuanjiu remembered what his mentor Mu Qingge had told him, and his heart suddenly warmed up. He clenched his fist and said, "I will never leave Wangxiangguan!"

Before he could finish his words, Su Yishui suddenly reached out, grabbed Qin Xuanjiu by the collar and threw him into the river.

Qin Xuanjiu struggled to stand up, already a drowned chicken. He wiped the water off his face and angrily said, "Su, what are you going to do?"

Su Yishui was still calm and composed as always, and said softly, "I'll help you solve the current lawsuit."
