Chapter 3028 Like a Fish in Water
Holy Son Miyan found himself in a profound inner conflict. Part of him believed that the young stoic might be slandering him, but another part recognized her cold and supremely arrogant personality, making it unlikely for her to resort to falsehoods.
His entire being went cold with dread. Without hesitation, he kicked his legs and hurriedly pursued.
Mo Lian, Duan Yue, and the others rapidly traversed the river for safety's sake.
Soon after, lightning bolts struck the vicinity.
Their earlier leaps caused the lightning that had cloaked the river to erupt, creating a dangerous situation for the rest.
Ming Bao, who had just resurfaced, was immediately caught by a blanket of Dao lightning and plunged back into the water. The sensation of electricity coursing through his body was oddly invigorating as he chuckled ironically.
Qin Xuan gripped Qin Jiu's arm and clambered up from the river's depths. Before they could say a word, they narrowly avoided being struck by a lightning bolt.
In haste, he flung Little Nine to the side and evaded. The lightning struck the space between them, obliterating a fragment of dilapidated wood.
Qin Jiu lay on the water's surface, trembling with fear.
Damn it! This lightning was incredibly ferocious!
"Where's Second Brother?" Eldest Young Sir Qin inquired, his face darkening.
Qin Jiu remained still, shaking her head repeatedly. "No, I didn't see Second Brother!"
This is bad…
Eldest Young Sir Qin couldn't suppress his agitation and clenched his teeth. He shifted his gaze toward the direction of the Holy Daughter.
Qin Jiu remained immobile and continued to ask, "Big, Big Bro, what happened to that woman just now?"
Eldest Young Sir shook his head and turned to the people around him. "We need to get out of here as quickly as possible."
"The lightning is only on the water's surface. It might be better for us to hold our breath and swim underwater for a while," the two Young Sirs from the Dou Family suggested urgently.
"It's all that infuriating stoic face's fault!" Zhongli Zhiwei fumed, narrowly avoiding a bolt of lightning as she smacked the water's surface in frustration.
If it weren't for her provoking Holy Daughter, there wouldn't have been this monstrous transformation and the ensuing chaos.
"Enough with the complaints! What's important now is to swim forward as fast as we can!" Chen Baojia yelled in a mixture of anxiety and exasperation.
A chaotic scene unfolded on the Spring River as people submerged in the interweaving lightning desperately paddled and struggled to escape.
Mo Lian, Duan Yue, and Duanmu Qing's group bore the brunt of the lightning, paying the price for their blatant disregard of the no-flying rule over the Spring River. Thunder roared, and lightning struck in fury.
They chased after her fervently. Furthermore, when Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao was swept into the water by a massive wave, she instinctively began swimming.
The moment she entered the water, she felt at home, as if she were born to be a swimmer.
Previously, she couldn't comprehend this phenomenon, but she now had a semblance of understanding. It was likely related to her lineage.
In the water, she not only moved effortlessly but also breathed comfortably, experiencing no discomfort.
Several decrepit zombie crocodiles emerged from the side, caught off guard, and snapped at her limbs.
Qiao Mu turned around and spotted Nie Yaoguang, who had surfaced like a specter.
A pair of crimson eyes emitted a cold glint in the water, exuding an oppressive presence.
Qiao Mu casually pursed her small lips, and with a light kick of her powerful legs, she shot forward like an arrow. The corpse crocodiles snapped their jaws in vain, leaving Holy Daughter stunned.
