Taking advantage of the chaotic scene, Du Qian dragged Chen Xuanzang to the dock and stared at the water with interest.

Chen Xuanzang widened his eyes, looked at the seemingly calm river surface, and couldn't help swallowing.

"Master Du, isn't it a bit too dangerous for us to be so close?"

"With me here, what are you afraid of?"

Hearing Du Qian's words, Chen Xuanzang turned his head and looked at the Taoist priest who was still being beaten. He couldn't help but said, "But I see that Taoist priest is still being beaten. Donor Du, you shouldn't have activated the Great Compassion and Great Mercy Harmony Barrier yet, right?"

Du Qian looked at him in surprise and said, "Okay, I only said it once, and you remembered this name?"

Chen Xuanzang smiled and said, "I don't have any other special abilities, except that my memory is better than that of ordinary people."

"Yeah?"

Du Qian glanced at him with a half-smile, then turned to look at the river.

"Don't worry, I can open that thing at any time to ensure that you will not be hurt by the fish monster."

"Compared to this, I am more concerned about how to lure the fish monster to show up. Do I need to find some baits?"

Having said that, Du Qian glanced at the chaotic crowd behind him.

Chen Xuanzang was shocked when he saw this, and stammered, "This... This is not good, right?"

Du Qian did not comment. He had known the story of the fish monster for a long time. The fish monster died unjustly during his lifetime and turned into a monster after his death to take revenge on the villagers. From his point of view, these seemingly innocent villagers were the evil party.

On the contrary, the killing of the fish monster was considered just revenge in ancient values.

It’s a pity that Du Qian didn’t have the ability to spy on cause and effect, and didn’t know which of the villagers was involved in killing the fish monster.

Otherwise, the fish demon's resentment should be able to be quelled more easily, and Du Qian's system task can be completed faster.

"What a shame, what a shame..."

Du Qian showed regret on his face, then took out a black ball from his arms and tossed it casually.

Chen Xuanzang accidentally glanced at the ball and couldn't help but take a step back, saying in horror: "Fire bomb?!"

"Where did this come from?"

Du Qian glanced at him and said, "Don't you know that this is what the pervert used just now? He had an exhibitionist fetish and had to take off his clothes. I thought it was too dangerous to drop this thing on the ground, so I picked it all up."

"Look, there are still quite a few here..."

As he spoke, Du Qian pulled out a large bunch of fire bombs from his arms, on which were tied at least seven or eight of the same black balls.

Chen Xuanzang couldn't help but take another step back, putting some distance between himself and Du Qian.

"You put such a dangerous thing in your arms?"

"Of course!"

Du Qian opened his shirt, revealing the inner armor seized from the master of the Styx Sword Sect, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have this thing. Even if the fire bomb explodes at close range, I can react."

Chen Xuanzang was stunned for a moment, then his face showed admiration.

Understand people's hearts and handle things carefully...

Is this the real gangster?

Du Qian smiled and pulled up his collar, then took out the flint and hit it lightly, and the fuse of the fire bomb was immediately ignited.

Du Qian assumed the posture of a baseball pitcher, gathered all his strength, and threw it into the river.

"call out--"

The fire bomb immediately shot out, turned into a black stream of light, crashed into the river surface, and finally exploded in the center of the river, splashing water all over the sky.

Du Qian followed suit and continued to throw out other fire bombs one by one.

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

For a moment, the surface of the river was filled with splashes of water and deafening roars.

The villagers who were beating up the Taoist priest were startled by the noise and turned to look at the white river surface.

After a brief moment of silence, a huge black shadow emerged and swam beneath the river.

The villagers were startled for a moment, then looked terrified and couldn't help but let out a series of exclamations.

The village chief's expression changed from gloomy to bright. He suddenly turned his head to look at the Taoist priest whose body was covered in purple. He glared at him and said, "Master Chen is right. The fish monster that harmed people is not dead yet. You are really a liar!"

The villagers vented their fear on the Taoist priest, shouting, "Liar! Liar!"

The Taoist priest's cheeks were swollen and his body was covered with bruises.

Hearing the angry shouts of the crowd, he looked terrified, half lying on the ground, moving backwards continuously.

Du Qian didn't pay attention to the movement behind him. He just stared at the moving black shadow and slowly drew out the long sword at his waist.

In the entire movie, this fish monster that appears first is undoubtedly the weakest monster in the movie.

Not only does it have the fatal weakness of being unable to come ashore, but it also has very few magical powers, making it almost indistinguishable from a larger fish monster.

Taking this into consideration, Du Qian decided not to use [Avoid the Real and Attack the False] for the time being.

He wanted to use this fish monster as a whetstone to test his true current strength.

At the same time, above the village, a girl in a white shirt and a red skirt stood there, looking at the blindfolded boy seriously.

In her eyes, the boy's temperament changed when he grasped the hilt of the sword.

A familiar sword intent rose up, drawing the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth, forming an illusion of a river flowing across the void behind the blindfolded boy.

“…It’s the Styx Sword Intention!”

"He is also a disciple of the Styx Sword Sect?"

Miss Duan was shocked, and then she realized something was wrong. She frowned and said, "No, why is the shadow of the Styx behind him gray? And his realm seems to be just that of an innate warrior?"

Upon realizing this, Miss Duan couldn't help but look surprised.

One can comprehend the sword intent in the innate realm. Such a genius, as long as he can be promoted to the master level, will soar to the sky, surpass the ordinary master level, and become a martial arts grandmaster like Xu Fengchao!

This boy is indeed a genius!

However, if it were just this, it would not be enough for Miss Duan to take it so seriously.

Compared with his martial arts skills, what she cared more about was the magical skills that Du Qian had demonstrated before.

"Do you want to practice both immortality and martial arts?"

Miss Duan thought so in her heart while looking at the blindfolded boy with serious eyes.

I saw the surging River Styx flowing behind Du Qian. Suddenly, a breeze blew away the black cloth, revealing a pair of sharp black eyes.

Du Qian held a sword in his hand, and his eyes followed the black shadow that appeared on the river surface.

He discovered that the fish monsters in the river were not affected by his gaze, which showed that water could also block the effect of the magical power [Feeling Like a thorn in the back].

Just a thin layer of water can restrain [Feeling Like a thorn in the back]. No wonder it has such a powerful magical effect and is still a blue-level magical power in the system evaluation.

Du Qian thought about this while patiently waiting for the opportunity to take action.

Finally, the fish monster under the water seemed to sense the pressure that Du Qian brought to it.

It suddenly dived to the bottom of the water, disappeared in the reflection of the river, and then -

"boom!"

Water splashed everywhere, and a huge half-fish, half-beast monster suddenly emerged from the water, opened its bloody mouth, and bit Du Qian at the dock.

Chen Xuanzang was startled and quickly stepped back.

Du Qian showed a look of joy, but immediately his eyes became stern and he glared at the fish monster.

"Evil creature, why don't you surrender immediately?!"

Du Qian shouted loudly, and at the same time, it felt like a thorn in its back. The fish monster that had jumped into the air was suddenly startled, as if there was a sharp sword hanging in the air, which would drop from the sky at any time and pierce its body.

In just a moment, the fish monster was frightened and couldn't help but retreat.

Du Qian took this opportunity to draw the long sword from his waist.

The surging River Styx poured out from behind him, enveloping the sword, and turned into a water-like gray sword light, pouring towards the body of the fish monster.

“Wow——”

The gray sword light hit the fish monster like waves.

The fish monster let out a wail, then its body bent and suddenly fell into the water next to the pier, splashing water all over the sky.

Du Qian exhaled and a breeze blew, preventing him from getting wet by the water.

In comparison, Chen Xuanzang next to him was a bit miserable.

His whole body was soaked by the water, even his long hair was stuck to his scalp.

But even so, his face was still filled with joy and admiration: "As expected of you, Patron Du. You are really amazing!"

The villagers who noticed this scene in the back also cheered.

“Amazing!”

"Fellow villagers, ignore this liar, that boy is the real exorcist master!"

The village chief shouted, and the villagers picked up the scattered silver coins and ran towards the dock with smiles on their faces.

"Don't come over here!"

The young man, who had his back to the villagers and acted like a master, suddenly shouted.

The villagers hurriedly stopped and looked at Du Qian's back in confusion.

Du Qian had a blank expression on his face. He turned his back to everyone and silently put his sword back into the sheath. Then he stared at the place where the fish monster fell into the water, silent.

Since everyone didn't know what was going on, they naturally didn't dare to act rashly.

At the top of the village, Miss Duan stood on the windward sail, silently looking at the young man below, and her eyes became extremely strange.

The next second, a huge fish head emerged from the water, staring at a pair of huge lantern-like fish eyes, and stared at Du Qian on the shore with a look of surprise and doubt.

...Here it comes again, here it comes again!

That feeling of threat is back again!

The fish demon stared at Du Qian with a look of surprise and doubt.

At the moment Du Qian made his move, it thought it was going to be killed, but the seemingly powerful sword light, when it hit him, only broke a few of its scales.

It was such a waste that it quickly turned its body and released its strength...

So, is this young man with a sharp gaze a master?

The fish demon felt a deadly sense of crisis as if a thorn was on his back, and couldn't help but feel confused.

At this moment, the young man suddenly sighed softly.

He loosened his right hand that was holding the sword, looked into the fish demon's eyes, and said seriously: "That's his mother!"

"rub!"

In an instant, billowing flames rose from the fish monster's body.

Golden-red flames emerged from the fish monster's eyes, and its huge body couldn't help but twitch, stirring up the waves and letting out an extremely miserable cry.

Seeing this scene, Du Qian showed a satisfied smile on his face.

The innate realm is indeed still not good enough!

With his current strength, if he wants to deal with real monsters, he still needs the system's magical powers!
