This Taoist Master is too Frivolous

“Northwest Hammer King?”

“Never heard of them!”

The woman’s body was graceful, and her red gauze dress fluttered in the wind. She had delicate features and a fair complexion. With a slap of her palm on the stone table, the wine glass that was placed on it was sent flying into the air.

She waved her hand gently, and the wine glass shot towards Xu Yang like a sharp sword.

Xu Yang reached out and grabbed it, twisting his wrist skillfully to neutralize the force on the wine glass before placing it back on the table.

He sat down confidently across from the woman and smiled, “Beautiful lady, it’s fate that we met. There’s no need to be violent. Why don’t we just have a chat?”

“Hmph!”

“There’s nothing for me to talk about with a stinky Daoist priest like you!”

The woman moved as fast as lightning, her jade-like hand swiftly stabbing towards Xu Yang’s face. Xu Yang’s power surged, and the “Great River sword aura” inside his body flowed through his arm to the tips of his fingers. With a touch, the woman quickly withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted.

“No wonder you, a mere beginner of the Divine Transcendence Realm, dare to confront me. You’re actually cultivating both Martial and Dao… However, what I’m capable of is beyond your imagination!”

The woman sneered and attacked again.

Xu Yang remained seated, his body erupting with the power of thunder. The woman was horrified, her fair fingers scorched by the thunder until smoke rose from them.

“Ding!”

“Evil god received a fright, merit points +1000, Water Manipulation Skill +1, Interrupting Flow +1.”

Boom!

The entire pavilion on the lake shattered. The woman waved her hand, and the sounds of water splashing came from the lake. Then, the entire surface of the lake began to boil, water dragons formed from the waves and assaulted Xu Yang in the air.

Xu Yang sat on the stone stool, not moving a muscle.

Even…

He took out a cigarette.

He rubbed his fingers…

And flicked it.

A spark leaped up from his fingertips, igniting the cigarette.

Surrounding him, the incoming water dragons froze in mid-air as if time had stopped!

“What?”

The woman was shocked again and said, “Impossible! Even if you have cultivated both Thunder and Water to the level of the Divine Transcendence Realm, I’m still the River God, capable of controlling water since birth… Unless you’re a Daoist True Monarch, you can’t break my Water Manipulation Skill!”

“Ding!”

“Evil god received a fright, merit points +1000, Water Manipulation Skill +1, Interrupting Flow +1.”

She stubbornly continued to attack.

A gray mist surrounded her.

The already dark park became even darker.

However, the water dragons still remained motionless in midair.

Xu Yang took a deep puff of his cigarette and exhaled a smoke ring.

Then he inhaled again, blowing out a “smoke sword” that pierced through the smoke ring.

He tapped his finger on the stone table and said with a faint smile, “The extent of my abilities is hardly something you can fathom.”

The water dragons changed direction and crashed towards the woman.

The water dragons exploded.

And the woman was soaked, her face still full of disbelief.

She attacked again, the gray mist surrounding her like clouds, trying to stir up waves from the lake to submerge Xu Yang. But she found…

The lake she once controlled with ease was now completely outside her grasp.

Xu Yang smoked his cigarette, squinting at the woman floating in midair trying her best to cast spells, and laughed coldly in his heart…

River God?

Are you really impressive?

You may be a River God, ordained by the heavens to control a certain section of the river, but…

In my Zifu and Shihai acupoints, there resides a flood dragon.

Although it’s not a real dragon, and only a soul, as long as Long Xiaoxue is with me, there’s no way your control over water would work!

Of course…

The most important thing is that Long Xiaoxue’s cultivation was stronger than this River God.

“Ding!”

“Evil god received a fright, merit points +1000, Water Manipulation Skill +1, Interrupting Flow +1.”

“Ding!”

“Evil god received a fright, merit points +1000, Water Manipulation Skill +1, Interrupting Flow +1.”

“Ding…”

The fear on the River God’s face grew even more intense.

Although she did not know what happened, she understood that this Daoist priest already had the ability to kill her!

Although becoming an “evil god” meant giving up her divine position ordained by the heavens, she had always considered the lake in Yingze Lake Garden her territory. Now she could not control the lake, her power was greatly weakened.

“Stinky Daoist priest!”

But even though she was frightened, she still needed to talk tough. The woman’s black hair fluttered, her translucent gauze fluttering around her as she said coldly, “I’ll remember today’s humiliation!”

That said…

She transformed into a wisp of gray smoke and plunged into the lake.

“Xiao Xue, why didn’t you stop her?”

Xu Yang was alarmed and hurriedly contacted the dragon soul in his Zifu and Shihai…This duck that was almost in his mouth shouldn’t be allowed to fly away!

Long Xiaoxue saw Xu Yang’s anxious expression and laughed, “Supreme Sage Xu, there’s no need to worry. The bottom of the lake is my battlefield, and the evil god entering the water is like walking into a trap… Let’s go into the water and meet her!”

Xu Yang leaped into the water without hesitation.

As he touched the bottom, his divine consciousness scanned the area but could not find any trace of the River God.

The lake wasn’t small, but it also wasn’t very big…

How big could an artificial lake dug in a park actually be?

At least with Xu Yang’s current strength of divine consciousness, he should be able to search the entire lake.

“How can this be?”

Xu Yang couldn’t believe it. He scanned inch by inch with his spiritual thoughts, and the “River God” had clearly entered the lake, so why was there no trace of it?

But…

Apart from the stacked skeletons at the bottom of the lake, there was still nothing to be found.

Xu Yang activated his Dharma Eye, only to see gray mist spreading over the bottom of the lake, making it impossible to see far.

“Long Xiaoxue, what’s going on?”

Xu Yang couldn’t help but ask, “Could it be that the River God entered the water and then fled in another direction?”

Inside Zifu and Shihai, Long Xiaoxue said, “The River God has been operating in this lake for many years, and obviously, it has made some arrangements…just like the Dragon Palace in the sea. If there is no specific method, you can’t find it even if you search the entire ocean.”

“Oh?”

Xu Yang’s eyes flickered as he thought of the “Interrupting Flow” divine power.

Unfortunately, he had only managed to steal a dozen or so times from that “evil god,” and he couldn’t even condense a “divine power talisman” yet, so it was impossible to achieve this effect.

While he was worried, Long Xiaoxue’s figure flickered and flew out of Zifu and Shihai.

Transforming into a flood dragon’s shadow, she swung her tail, and in an instant, an invisible ripple swept across in all directions. The gray fog at the bottom of the lake dispersed inch by inch, and a temple-like building suddenly appeared at the bottom of the lake.

Inside the temple was a River God statue.

This statue was made from the mud at the bottom of the river and supported by “human bones.”

“No!”

The evil god flew out of the temple and exclaimed, “This is impossible…how did you find my mansion?”

“Ding!”

“Evil God was shocked, Merit Points +1000, Water Manipulation Skill+1, Interrupting Flow+1.”

“Ding…”

Another series of system prompts sounded as she tried to control the underwater currents to attack Xu Yang.

However, as soon as the underwater currents approached three feet around Xu Yang, they dissipated automatically, unable to harm him at all.

Naturally, this was Long Xiaoxue’s masterpiece!

Seeing the “shock” effect so effective, Xu Yang sneered backed by Long Xiaoxue’s majestic performance, “A little evil god dares to play with water in front of Daoist Master? It’s really like a fool trying to show off his skills, knowing nothing about life or death!”

The evil female god finally succumbed.

She slumped to the ground, and like the Grand Master of Xuan Mountain Temple that Xu Yang had once encountered, she hysterically told her own grievances. She talked about her history of protecting the common people, curing countless people, and putting down numerous floods…

“Good deeds are good deeds, and mistakes are mistakes.”

Xu Yang was unmoved, saying, “Good deeds cannot offset mistakes. What sin do those innocent people who have been killed by you for all these years have?”

The evil god looked up at Xu Yang and said, “Since things have come to this, just do as you please with my life!”

Xu Yang shook his head and said indifferently, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you die so easily.”

“What exactly do you want?”

The evil god roared, her voice full of helplessness!

Unable to fight back.

Now she couldn’t even ask for death, her mentality was about to explode.

“I want you to help me with my cultivation!”

Xu Yang showed off his big white teeth, grinning evilly.

Because they were underwater, bubbles emerged from the corners of his mouth. He said, “It’s simple, have you ever played hide-and-seek?”

Xu Yang flipped his hand and took out a big iron hammer.

He pointed around and said, “Let’s play hide-and-seek. You hide, I seek.”

The evil god asked, “What happens if you find me? And if you don’t?”

Xu Yang weighed the hammer in his hand and said, “If I find you, I will smash you to death.”

“And if you don’t find me?”

“Don’t worry, it’s just in this lake, no leaving…as long as you hide in the lake, you won’t escape Daoist Master’s palm!”

Evil god: “…”

She laughed coldly, “I would rather die, why should I play with you?”

Unable to escape, hide, or fight, she simply lay down on the ground in a spread-eagle fashion, closed her eyes, and said, “Come on, kill me.”

“…..”

Xu Yang was speechless.

He had never thought that his “cheat codes” would have a countermeasure too.

That was…to seek death wholeheartedly!

But upon further thought, it seemed normal.

When a person is determined to die, they become fearless… Yin spirits and ghosts also have thoughts, and they naturally feel the same way.

So he moved forward, lifted the hammer, and smashed it down!

Bang!

The evil god was turned into a cloud of gray mist.

The gray mist squirmed, trying to re-form, but Xu Yang launched a palm attack directly toward the statue in the temple!

“Wait!”

The evil god was shocked and yelled, “Master, please wait…I’m willing to play games with you.”

“Ding!”

“Evil God was shocked, Merit Points +1000, Water Manipulation Skill +1, Interrupting Flow +1.”

Bang!

The temple shattered, and the clay statue was broken into pieces.

Xu Yang turned back and slammed his hammer onto the gray mist reforming, cursing, “Bah!”

“You trash, you wanted to die just now, now you changed your mind?”

“Go to hell!”

He swung the hammer with lightning coiling around its head, smashing wildly at the gray mist until it dissipated. Only after hearing the prompt that the evil god had been “transcended” in his mind did Xu Yang put away the hammer and pick up a River God decree from the ground!

“Not bad!”

Xu Yang’s mood improved a lot, “Although I only gained tens of thousands of Merit Points, this River God token can make up for the time wasted on this trip!”
