I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 190 - 5: The Divide Between Humans and Gods? (2/3)
"Glug glug..."
No energy left to pay attention to the battle between Lord Tingyao and Tian Wu.
Thrown into the floodwaters, Qiwa first choked on a mouthful of water.
Then he quickly adjusted his state, showcasing his extraordinary swimming skills.
The Cannibal Fish around him repeatedly tried to bite this human, only to be driven back by Qiwa wielding a knife.
However, these Cannibal Fish clearly possessed a certain intelligence.
Though maybe not as wise as real humans, they were smarter than ordinary beasts.
After being driven back several times by Qiwa.
The Cannibal Fish no longer rushed to kill him at once but began to spin along with the whirlpool.
Each time Qiwa attempted to get ashore, these Cannibal Fish would leap from the vortex, forcing him back into the water.
After several such repetitions, Qiwa’s stamina was seriously drained, and a faint sense of despair started to blossom within him.
Buzz! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
At that moment, a terrifying low-frequency soundwave suddenly emanated from underwater.
The nearby Cannibal Fish, upon hearing this soundwave, struggled and flapped their tails, fleeing the vortex in the shortest time possible.
The next second, a nearly meter-long Human-faced Fish slowly floated up from underwater, precisely supporting Qiwa’s body.
"..."
With a hint of shock, Qiwa instinctively looked down.
Only to see the face on the back of the Human-faced Fish blink at him, with a bit of a smile on its lips.
Qiwa knew the Human-faced Fish.
Or rather, no one in Li Family Village didn’t know about the Human-faced Fish.
It’s the followers of the Water God of the Mountain God Reservoir, as well as the most fervent admirer of Li Boyang.
Even though he didn’t understand the language of the Human-faced Fish.
Qiwa would often hear the calls of "Great Fate Master, Great Fate Master" coming from the reservoir.
This sound only occurred when Li Boyang patrolled the reservoir.
When others patrolled, they could at most catch the curious glances of the Human-faced Fish.
Over time, the people of Li Family Village came to understand that "Great Fate Master" was the exclusive title used by the Human-faced Fish for Li Boyang.
"Thank you..."
Barely able to whisper a word of thanks, Qiwa was then supported to the shore by the Human-faced Fish.
Just as Qiwa thought the crisis was over, a sudden cry arose from the dam not far away.
"Watch out!"
"Qiwa, watch out behind you!"
"There’s something in the water, beware of the water!"
...
As these calls echoed in his ears.
Qiwa spun around abruptly to see a torrent mysteriously rising, transforming into a Water Monster wielding a sharp fork behind the Human-faced Fish.
It was the Water Charm, a spirit monster forever hidden in the currents.
Splash!
Without even having time to warn anyone, Qiwa instinctively leaped back into the water, knife in hand.
Clang!
Accompanied by a harsh clang of metal meeting metal.
The dagger in Qiwa’s hand was broken by a sharp fork, and he himself was flung away.
Fortunately, the Human-faced Fish reacted in time.
With a Divine Dragon Tail Swing that sent the Water Charm flying, it also wrapped Qiwa and leapt out of the water.
"Hah!"
Turning back, it unleashed another soundwave attack, this time using a piercing high-frequency soundwave.
Instantly, the Water Monster, initially menacing, once again dissolved into a pool of water and vanished.
Even the nearby Cannibal Fish were affected, turning belly up one by one.
.....................................................................
"Haha, seems like even if you’ve allied with that Water Ape, you’re still nothing significant."
Almost at the same time the Human-faced Fish emerged to fend off the Water Charm, Lord Tingyao successfully crushed Tian Wu’s skull.
Splat...
As fish bones pierced through the body, blood and brain matter burst out.
Tian Wu was forced to release his grip and retreated back into the water, dragging his half-mutilated body.
It wasn’t that Lord Tingyao didn’t want to kill him outright, but Gods aren’t that easy to kill.
Don’t be fooled by Tian Wu’s pitiful appearance right now.
Once free from Lord Tingyao’s grasp, he would instantaneously recover.
In fact, Lord Tingyao even suspected that Tian Wu’s fish head was just a facade, not truly a weak point.
"You all... just die for me!"
Though his exterior had regained its original appearance, Tian Wu was clearly gravely injured.
In his fury, he let out a roar, causing the already raging floodwaters to surge once more.
The sky was whipped into a frenzy, clouds gathered as bean-sized raindrops plummeted down...
The most terrifying of all, numerous Water Charms emerged from the flood, riding the waves to charge again at all living beings along the shore and riverbank.
"Now this is really troublesome..."
With a tug at the God-Binding Rope around his neck, Lord Tingyao muttered irritably.
The battle had now clearly slipped beyond Lord Tingyao’s control.
If it weren’t for the restriction of this God-Binding Rope, Lord Tingyao would have hung Tian Wu up for a beating.
But under the constraints of this God-Binding Rope.
All he could do was silently pray that Qiwa would have the luck to survive this disaster.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind but didn’t prevent Lord Tingyao from taking the initiative to attack.
The ten-meter-tall four-armed giant charged against the waves, each massive hand striking down a Water Charm.
With him bearing the brunt of it at the front, even the fiercest of waves couldn’t breach the dam behind him.
This bought enough time for the villagers to reinforce the dam.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Regardless of the cause or outcome.
The scene at this moment is enough to move anyone.
Because just this one Mountain God, Lord Tingyao, bore over eighty percent of the risk from this disaster.
"We... cannot let Lord Tingyao fight alone!"
The speaker was a hunter among the mountain people, and his words received unanimous support from all villagers.
More and more mountain people chose to tie their waist ropes to wooden stakes, vowing to live and die with the dam.
And Lord Tingyao, stealing a glance at this scene, felt emotions too complex to be put into words.
[A bunch of fools...]
A thought crossed his mind.
Yet, his gaze involuntarily turned once more toward Qiwa.
As Lord Tingyao expected, the now-safe Qiwa, just like those foolish mountain people, reengaged in combat with the Water Charms.
Compared to the flood and the army of Water Charms brought by Tian Wu, Qiwa’s resistance seemed so trivial.
But his gaze remained resolute.
His eyes were filled with a brightness that Lord Tingyao had never understood.
That was hope, trust, determination, and an unwavering belief.
Before Qiwa, Lord Tingyao had never thought that among these seemingly insignificant humans, there could be individuals who stirred respect within him.
