Chapter 187 - Chapter 187: Luring the Water Demon Beast

An extremely powerful column of water rushed toward the Drunken Swordsman and his companions. The terrifying impact force shattered the Drunken Swordsman's sword moves that combined man and sword.

This water monster was so powerful that it truly felt invincible in the realm of The Legend of Sword and Fairy.

With a tremendous bang the water monster swung its massive tail. Then many spears transformed from torrents shot directly toward Zhao Ling'er.

Although Zhao Ling'er displayed the form of Nuwa and summoned the power of the earth she was still no match for the water monster. These spears transformed from torrents hit Zhao Ling'er causing her to scream and be sent flying backward.

"Ling'er!" Seeing that Zhao Ling'er was injured Li Xiaoyao shouted in shock. Then he quickly rushed toward Zhao Ling'er.

Whoosh!

However at this moment the Moon Worshiper standing atop the water monster's head extended his palm and struck Li Xiaoyao from a distance. His profound cultivation transformed into a powerful palm strike landing directly on Li Xiaoyao's back.

With a cry Li Xiaoyao spat out a mouthful of blood which landed beside Zhao Ling'er. Zhao Ling'er already injured was now even more worried about him.

"Evil creature! Stop your arrogance!" Elder Shi was shocked and furious as he watched Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er injured.

Li Xiaoyao might have been acceptable but Zhao Ling'er was a princess. How could he have injured her? Furious Elder Shi also lunged at the Moon Worshiper.

However as he watched Elder Shi charging at him the Moon Worshiper's brow furrowed slightly. Just as he was considering how to deal with him the water monster swung its tail hard.

A massive wave of water slammed directly toward Elder Shi. Elder Shi was completely engulfed by the current and washed away to an unknown location.

Furious!

The chaotic battle had clearly aroused the water beast's ferocity. Once in the water it possessed immense strength capable of controlling the currents. Even the Drunken Sword Immortal who was a Dao master found it difficult to withstand the might of this ancient beast.

Within moments nearly everyone was injured. Even the Drunken Sword Immortal himself bore some wounds.

Another stream of water sent the Drunken Sword Immortal flying. Immediately the water beast fixed its gaze on Lin Yueru who was on the shore. Then with its maw wide open it lunged toward her. Its massive mouth was poised to devour her with ease.

Lin Yueru's martial arts skills were impressive but they were still those of a mortal. Facing the water beast's enormous maw she was powerless. She watched helplessly as the jaws clenched downward. Her pretty face went pale with despair.

"Ah..." Seeing this Alex sighed in frustration. Immediately he unleashed his Shave ability appearing to move in front of Lin Yueru in a flash of movement.

At the same time Alex held his Wushuang Sword across his chest while shouting inwardly "Block!"

Bang!

Compared to the enormous size of the water monster Alex's body was incredibly tiny. It gave the impression of the difference between an elephant and a kitten.

But shockingly the elephant running at full speed was stopped by a kitten. Alex's Wushuang Sword had actually stopped the massive size of the water monster.

"Mister Alex are you going to intervene as well?" The Moon Worshiping Cult Leader perched atop the water monster's head looked down at Alex. He sighed in frustration before speaking.

Alex had been watching the fight from the sidelines not intervening. The Moon Worshiping Cult Leader knew this and had assumed he would not intervene. Now it seemed he had been overthinking things.

"Everyone has their own perspective. Although I admire you I am a Mount Shushan man after all." After successfully blocking the water monster's attack with a single move Alex shook his head and sighed at the Moon Worshiping Cult Leader with a hint of frustration.

From a personal perspective Alex and the Moon Worshiper only admired each other. They were not friends.

Regardless the Moon Worshiper leader had used Liu Jinyuan as a hostage to threaten Alex. Then he imprisoned him within the Moon Worshiper sect preventing him from leaving. With these actions how could Alex consider him a friend? Of course it was impossible.

"Alright young Alex if we join forces we can definitely defeat the Moon Worshiper!" Seeing Alex finally strike and with a stunning display of defense blocking the water monster's attacks the Drunken Swordsman's eyes lit up. His chances of defeating the Moon Worshiper leader were greatly improved.

Roar!

The water monster naturally ignored the humans' words. Having its attacks blocked it considered Alex its most formidable opponent. With another roar it raised its head high and slammed down on Alex once again.

Seeing this how could Alex dare to take it head-on?

He grabbed Lin Yueru and unleashed his Shave ability. In the blink of an eye the two of them fled over a hundred meters away.

With a resounding boom the entire earth shook violently. Countless rocks flew and the terrain within a hundred meters was completely altered by the impact.

The Water Demon Beast's physical strength was truly astonishing. Due to its size its casual attacks though clearly targeted at a single individual gave the impression of a group attack.

"Sword Control!" The Drunken Sword Immortal having entered the Dao achieved astonishing levels of skill. Under his control countless flying swords swarmed toward the water monster.

However facing these incoming swords the water monster simply opened its mouth and let out a mighty roar. Visible sound waves spread out shattering the flying swords.

Whoosh!

He formed a sword gesture with his fingers and all the flying swords disappeared. They turned into the last sword that returned to the Drunken Sword Immortal's hand. Looking at the enormous water monster the Drunken Sword Immortal's face was very solemn and he said "The power of this evil beast is beyond our imagination. Coupled with the power of the Moon Worshiper it is really difficult to deal with them when they join forces."

"The water monster can obviously only exert its full strength in the water. It seems that we have to find a way to lure it out of the water" Alex said after a moment's hesitation.

"That is impossible. This evil beast will never come ashore even if it is angered" said the Drunken Sword Immortal while shaking his head at Alex's words.

The water monster is like a fish. No matter how much you anger a fish it is impossible for it to jump ashore and fight you right?

"It cannot jump ashore on its own but as long as you can help me lure it to the lake's edge there is a chance."

Alex's eyes narrowed slightly and he said to the Drunken Sword Immortal.
