With doubts in his heart, Du Qian quietly got up, hid his figure outside the inn, and followed Xu Xian's footsteps.

Perhaps he was still thinking about the woman he had just met, Xu Xian looked a little dazed, but his steps did not pause for a moment, as if he had already thought about where to go before the encounter.

...He must have had a goal in mind!

Du Qian thought so in his heart.

Sure enough, not long after, Xu Xian came to the river, sat on a bluestone in the dim night, and began to eat.

Du Qian stood ten steps away from him, looking at the surrounding scene thoughtfully.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard.

Du Qian turned his head and saw a beautiful woman hurrying past. She soon came to the riverside and glanced at Xu Xian warily. Seeing that he was eating as if no one was around, he felt relieved and jumped into the water.

“Plop——”

The sound of splashing water woke Xu Xian up.

He came back to his senses, his face turned slightly cold, and then he took out a blue bead and stepped forward into the water.

Water-repellent beads!

Du Qian was knowledgeable and recognized the identity of the bead at a glance.

Xu Xian used the power of the water-repellent beads to escape into the water, and soon reached the bottom of the river, standing at the door of an underwater palace.

Seeing this scene, Du Qian suddenly realized, he finally understood why Xu Xian came half a step further!

There has been no rain in Luoshui Town for a whole year because the town has offended the local Dragon King of rivers.

But at the same time, they only offended the Dragon King, not the Heavenly Palace or the Jade Emperor.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Luoshui Town to be like Fengxian County on the westward journey, where the highest leader, the Jade Emperor, personally issued an order not to allow any rain to fall in this place.

If there was indeed a decree from Heaven to rain in the past year, then the Dragon Kings of local rivers would have only one way to achieve their goal - hide!

But where can he hide and for how long?

Du Qian had only been in this world for a few days, so naturally he had no idea of ​​the way around.

But Xu Xian had been around for so many years, he knew very well that there was only one place for the Dragon King to go, and that was Half a Step More!

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Du Qian's face, a faint light flashed in his eyes, and in the blink of an eye he could see through the palace and see the scene inside.

"Haha, thank you Madam!"

In the coral-decorated hall, a slightly plump middle-aged man came up with his hands clasped and a big smile on his face.

He was wearing a black dragon robe with white patterns and a silver crown. Two elk-like dragon horns extended from both sides of his forehead. He was actually a real dragon that had transformed into a human.

At the same time, the beautiful woman who had just entered the palace revealed her true appearance, and two smaller dragon horns appeared on her forehead.

There is no doubt that these two are the local River Dragon King and his queen!

Faced with the Dragon King's attentive attitude, the beautiful woman did not give him a good look.

She rolled her eyes at the Dragon King, took out a token from her bosom and placed it on the table.

"Just now, the messenger from the Heavenly Court came to the Dragon Palace again, urging you to go to Luoshui Town to bring rain. I used my illness as an excuse to refuse, saying that you had gone astray in your practice and your dragon body had not yet fully recovered. That's why I delayed it for another day."

As she spoke, the beautiful woman sighed, looked at the talisman on the table and said worriedly, "But this is not a solution. The rain talisman from the Heavenly Court has already been sent down three times. It will rain sooner or later. You can't just keep disobeying the order, can you?"

"snort!"

The Dragon King snorted angrily and said coldly, "It's better to delay it for one more day. I want to let the people of Luoshui Town know who has been protecting them for hundreds of years!"

"Don't try that on me!" The beautiful woman glared at him fiercely and said unhappily, "You are just jealous of the popularity of Guanyin Bodhisattva!"

The Dragon King was furious and said, "Bullshit! It's the people of Luoshui Town who don't care about me, the Dragon King!"

The beautiful woman sighed, stepped forward and took the Dragon King's arm, and whispered, "You've been angry for a year, that's enough. The people of Luoshui Town have been forced to leave their homes by you. If it doesn't rain, everyone will leave. What's the point of this?"

"Besides, the words of the Heavenly Court official today are quite tough. I'm afraid we can't delay any longer."

"If you delay this any longer, you will really anger the Heavenly Court. Aren't you afraid of repeating the same fate as Uncle Jinghe?"

"It's a different time now!" The Dragon King shook his head and said confidently, "It's only been a few years since I returned to Heaven, and even the demons in Heaven and the Underworld have not been pacified yet, so how can they have the time to care about me?"

"If it were the Tang Dynasty, let alone a year, even if it was delayed for a moment, I would have to go to the Dragon Slaying Platform..."

When the beautiful woman heard the words "Dragon-Slaying Platform", a trace of fear flashed across her face and she quickly raised her hand to cover the Dragon King's mouth.

The Dragon King was slightly startled, then smiled and moved his wife's hand away, picked up the command talisman on the table and said, "Well, since my wife is worried, I will delay it for one last month. After one month, it will rain according to your order. How do you think?"

The beautiful woman breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The commander said that when it rains, it will rain all over Luoshui Town within a hundred miles, and the rain must fall enough by five o'clock in the morning. When the time comes, show the command talisman, and the God of Thunder and the Goddess of Lightning will come to help."

"Remember, the talisman must be lit three times. Each time it is lit, one chi more will be added. No more, no less."

The Dragon King put down the talisman and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's just that I was lazy for a year. I am not that confused."

As he spoke, the Dragon King stretched out his hands and embraced the beautiful woman, and his pair of dragon claws moved up and down, starting to act naughty.

Just as the beautiful woman's face turned red and a hint of lust emerged in her eyes, the door of the palace burst open.

The Dragon King and his wife were shocked and looked up at the palace door. They saw a tall young man in white standing there. He walked in angrily and cursed at the Dragon King.

"You evil dragon who cares about human life, why don't you go outside and take a look at what Luoshui Town has become!" "If you delay for another month, Luoshui Town will be full of corpses. Will it rain for the ghosts?!"

“How dare you!” The Dragon King was filled with shock and anger, his whole body bursting with majestic dragon power. He glared at the young man and said, “Who are you? How dare you trespass into my residence? Don’t you know the rules of half a step?!”

"Are you qualified to talk about rules?"

The young man in white sneered at first, and then said proudly: "A real man never changes his name or surname. I am Xu Hanwen, a disciple of Zishan Zhenren of Ziyang Temple!"

"My master helped to pacify the underworld last year, and he has the right to go directly to Lingxiao and file a complaint before the emperor. I advise you to go to Luoshui Town tonight to bring rain. If you dare to delay again, I will report you to my master and report you to the Jade Emperor, and you will be punished by being slashed like a dragon!"

Xu Xian's words were full of righteousness and majesty.

Hearing the horror on the Dragon King’s wife’s face, she couldn’t help but look up at the Dragon King.

The Dragon King sneered, "I was wondering who it was, it turns out to be a human ranger!"

"It's fine if you're brave in the human world, but you dare to act arrogantly in front of me. You really don't know how to live or die!"

"Do you know what a crime it is to trespass into a residence like this?"

"Even if I kill you on the spot, no one can say no!"

Xu Xian sneered as waves of heat surged from his body, heating the air inside the water-proof shield to an extremely hot level, causing countless bubbles of various sizes to rise outside the shield.

"If you have the guts, you can give it a try!"

Seeing Xu Xian being so arrogant, the Dragon King laughed in anger, roared loudly, and rushed forward waving his dragon claws.

"boom!"

The huge dragon claw that appeared on the Dragon King's arm collided with Xu Xian's suddenly swung fist.

The rolling hot current flowed rapidly in Xu Xian's body, driving his true essence to condense into terrifying energy, which exploded on his fist.

In just a moment, a huge cavity filled with energy and heat waves formed in the underwater palace.

The next moment, the cavity exploded, shattering the jade floor tiles layer by layer, crushing the coral decorations into powder in an instant, and the magnificent palace also collapsed like building blocks, shooting out in all directions.

"boom!"

Looking from the shore, I saw the river water suddenly shaking violently, and then the water surface suddenly exploded, setting off huge waves.

The huge noise attracted the attention of many guests, and they all looked in the direction of the sound, their faces filled with astonishment.

Who on earth dared to use force even half a step further?

Many curious people stood up and prepared to go to the place where the noise came from to see what was going on.

Du Qian stood on the river bank, looking speechlessly at the man and the dragon fighting at the bottom of the river.

"I'm telling you, why rush in at this time? Why not wait for the Dragon King and his wife to mess things up, then sneak in quietly, steal the talisman, and go to Luoshui Town to bring rain yourself? Wouldn't that be great?"

Thinking of this, Du Qian shook his head, thinking that although Xu Xian was quite powerful, he acted too by the rules and was too upright. He didn't seem like a time traveler, but more like a native who was influenced by a time traveler.

If this is the case, then the teacher Xu Xian just mentioned is highly suspicious.

"...Ziyang Temple, Master Zishan?"

Du Qian narrowed his eyes slightly and thought with interest.

"boom!"

At this moment, waves burst out on the river again.

Two figures emerged from the water and rose into the sky entangled.

Du Qian looked up and saw that Xu Xian's shirt had burst open, revealing his muscular chest and eight-pack abs.

The muscular arm swelled up, and a golden-red light shone in the blood vessels. It was like a strengthened unicorn arm. It suddenly pulled back and smashed hard into the Dragon King's head.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Deafening noises came from the sky.

Xu Xian pinched the Dragon King's neck, hung on his body, and repeatedly smashed his fists with tremendous power into the Dragon King's face. He beat him in the most brutal and barbaric way, causing his cheeks to swell, his nose to tilt, and blood to flow from all his orifices.

The Dragon King became furious and roared immediately, breaking free from Xu Xian's restraints. Then he transformed himself into a black dragon over a hundred meters long and pounced on Xu Xian with bared fangs and claws.

"Has your true identity finally been revealed?"

Xu Xian sneered, and at the same time, he used all his strength to circulate the true energy in his body. By breaking down the true energy into energy, he released a large amount of energy as the driving force of the body, and it exploded in the meridians and joints of the body.

For a moment, countless thunderous roars and loud noises came from Xu Xian's body.

Seeing this scene, Du Qian was slightly startled, and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Nuclear Explosion Fist?"

"Could it be that the travelers in this world also have the system issued by the alliance?"
