Chapter 43 The Little Princess Awakens Her Water Control Divine Skill
Sikong Ming's confident smile froze.
He looked up in astonishment, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Tiger King!
Princess Anguo's pet!
How did it end up here?
And in such an unreasonable way!
"brute!"
After a brief moment of shock, Sikong Ming was consumed by boundless rage.
He took a step back, turned the dagger in his hand, and aimed it at the Tiger King.
"Guards! Shoot this beast dead!"
He gave the order in a shrill voice.
In the passageway outside the cell, the prison guards, who had already been alerted by the huge sound of the tiger king breaking through the roof, rushed over with torches and swords.
However, what they saw was the one-eyed tiger king blocking the prison entrance like a mountain.
It recognized the scent on Sikong Ming that was the same scent that had hurt its young master.
"roar!"
Another roar, the violent sound wave mixed with the bloody wind, directly knocked the first few jailers to the ground.
The Tiger King's massive body swayed, and its thick tail swept out with a whooshing sound!
"Bang bang bang!"
Several prison guards flew out like kites with broken strings, screaming as they crashed into the hard stone wall and fell silent.
Sikong Ming's face turned ashen.
He never expected this tiger to be so ferocious!
He was a strategist and a mastermind, whose forte was manipulating people's hearts and minds; direct combat was not his forte.
"Archers! Fire!"
He roared again.
The guards on the perimeter hurriedly drew their bows and arrows, aiming the arrows at Tiger King and Mu Yu inside the cell.
The tiger king roared, shielding Mu Yu behind its back with its body. Arrows struck its thick fur, making a clanging sound, but could not penetrate.
But with so many arrows, a few particularly cunning ones grazed its flesh.
Fresh blood flowed down its snow-white fur.
The tiger king, in pain, became even more ferocious, smashing half of the cell door with a single claw.
A ruthless glint flashed in Sikong Ming's eyes.
He ignored the Tiger King and instead focused his attention on the small figure huddled in the corner.
To catch the thief, first catch the king!
As long as Mu Yu is killed, this beast will naturally be nothing to fear!
He moved like lightning, bypassing the Tiger King's attack range, and his dagger transformed into a streak of blue light, piercing straight into Mu Yu's heart!
Mu Yu's meridians were sealed, and she was also bound by a hundred-pound black iron chain, leaving her powerless to dodge.
She could even smell the foul odor of poison from the tip of the dagger.
Is she going to die?
I'm not reconciled...
I'm so unwilling to accept this...
Father... Ninth Prince...
A fierce will to survive, like two invisible giant hands, squeezed her small body hard.
The blocked meridians sent waves of excruciating, tearing pain through them.
The mouthful of blood she spat out stained her chest and soaked the cold ground.
Just as Sikong Ming's dagger was about to touch her skin...
A sudden change has occurred!
Something seemed to be awakened within Mu Yu's body.
An ancient and powerful force, originating from the deepest part of one's bloodline, suddenly erupted!
That's a unique innate ability of the koi fish clan—water control!
"Tick-tock".
A drop of water, without warning, condensed and dripped from the edge of the hole in the dome of the prison.
Then came the second drop, the third drop...
Countless water droplets seeped from the cracks in the stone wall and condensed in the humid air.
The humidity in the entire prison was increasing rapidly at an astonishing rate.
Sikong Ming suddenly stopped moving.
He felt the air become thick, as if he were in the deep sea.
"This is……"
He looked at Mu Yu with suspicion and uncertainty.
The little girl had opened her eyes at some point.
Those amber eyes now shimmered with a deep blue light, unfathomable.
Her small mouth opened slightly, and she unconsciously uttered a single word.
"water……"
Rumble!
Outside, the once clear night sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and lightning flashed and thunder roared!
A torrential downpour!
But the rain was extremely strange; it seemed to have eyes, pouring all of it into the hole in the dome of the prison!
"Splash—!"
A massive flow of water, like an inverted celestial river, descended from the sky!
"not good!"
Sikong Ming was shocked and no longer cared about killing Mu Yu. He turned around and tried to run away.
But it was too late!
The water level inside the prison was rising at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The water first reached my ankles, then my knees, and in the blink of an eye, it reached my waist!
The jailers screamed in terror as they struggled desperately in the murky water.
The tiger king was also somewhat uneasy, but it still stayed firmly by Mu Yu's side, using its body to shield her from the rushing water.
Mu Yu's small body, weighed down by the black iron chains, sank to the bottom of the water.
But she didn't feel suffocated at all.
In the water, she felt as if she had returned to her mother's embrace.
The water, like the most obedient soldiers, gently enveloped her, continuously supplying her with the purest water essence.
Her sealed meridians are being gradually repaired under the influence of this force.
However, the prison's architecture could not withstand the terrifying water pressure.
"Crack... Crack..."
Cracks began to appear on the stone wall and spread rapidly.
"BOOM—!!!"
With a deafening roar, the Heavenly Prison, which held countless serious criminals and was known as the most impregnable prison in the Great Chu Kingdom, was actually... washed away by this flood that came from the sky!
The turbid floodwaters, carrying stones, corpses, and surviving prisoners, roared as they rushed into the streets and alleys of the capital.
Sikong Ming was slammed against the wall by a giant wave, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He barely managed to avoid being swept away thanks to his profound martial arts skills.
He grabbed a piece of driftwood in a disheveled state, looking at the ruins of the prison, his eyes filled with lingering fear.
evildoer!
This Mu Yu is absolutely a prodigy!
In the flood, he could vaguely see that small figure being carried away by the current, drifting into the distance, while the huge tiger king was desperately swimming towards her.
Meanwhile, outside the imperial city.
Mu Fang, Xiao Beichen, and the others who were leading the old Xuanjia Army to besiege the imperial city were also stunned by this sudden celestial phenomenon.
"General! Look! In the direction of the Heavenly Prison!" A general pointed to the towering column of water and exclaimed in horror.
Mu Fang's heart sank suddenly.
"Little Yu'er!"
He let out a mournful roar and, disregarding everything, urged his warhorse forward, charging towards the direction of the raging flood.
Little Yu'er is still inside!
His daughter is still in that prison that has been reduced to ruins!
The capital city had never been in such a state of chaos. The celestial river waters, which Mu Yu had unwittingly stirred up, ravaged half a long street after destroying the Heavenly Prison before gradually receding.
The sound of water gradually subsided, but the voices of people continued.
The cries of survivors mingled with the shouts of soldiers, creating a chilling chaos.
The lights inside Princess Anguo's mansion were already all lit.
"Get out of the way! Everyone get out of the way!"
Xiao Beichen carried a small, soaking wet, unconscious figure into the mansion.
His handsome face was covered in mud and tears, and his luxurious robes were torn to shreds by gravel.
"Xie Zhiwei! Quick! Come and see Xiaoyuer!" he shouted.
In the ruins of the former prison, he and Mu Fang went almost mad, turning over the heavy bricks and stones with their bare hands.
When the Tiger King stared at a collapsed corner with its single eye and let out a low, mournful cry, Xiao Beichen's heart almost stopped.
He rushed over and finally found Mu Yu, who had been swept there by the flood, among the tangled trees and silt.
Her face was completely pale, and her lips were bluish-purple.
If he hadn't put his finger under her nose and could still feel a faint, almost nonexistent breath, he would have thought he had found only a cold corpse.
