I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 88: Deceitful Charm

[Source Material +3.2], [Source Material +2.8], [Source Material +3.7]...

One corpse after another turned to ashes in Zhang Yuan’s hands, silently merging into the water.

Leaving behind empty fish skin water armor, drifting down towards the bottom.

At this very moment above the water, Zhang Xiong standing at the bow of the ship had a sense of impending doom.

Six martial artists skilled in water combat had gone down to deal with Zhang Yuan some time ago.

At first, Zhang Xiong noticed the undercurrent beneath the water.

And a large number of bubbles rising up.

However, this scene lasted only for a moment before it quickly returned to calm.

No more movement, and no one surfaced.

The calm was eerie, so eerie that Zhang Xiong felt goosebumps all over and an involuntary trace of fear.

He was not someone easily frightened by danger.

Otherwise, he would not have dared to come here with others to capture Zhang Yuan, the disciple of Furious Whale.

His Tier Three Transformation Realm cultivation gave Zhang Xiong great confidence.

But now, he suddenly realized he might have made a big mistake!

If they were on land.

Zhang Xiong, being a Transformation Realm expert, with the assistance of six Light Force martial artists.

Zhang Yuan would have no chance to escape unless he grew wings.

But in this water, the situation was unpredictable, and any accident was not surprising.

Completely beyond his control.

And although Zhang Xiong could swim, he had no experience in underwater combat.

Unable to exert his full strength, he didn’t even know what was happening below.

He could only guess.

Did the six perish along with Zhang Yuan?

Or did they encounter a Water Ghost?

At the thought of Water Ghosts, Zhang Xiong shuddered, feeling a chill down his spine.

He looked around, seeing no fishing or trading boats.

Fear grew wildly in Zhang Xiong’s heart like weeds!

He realized he could no longer wait.

So Zhang Xiong made a decisive decision, taking up the oars to return to Linhe Wharf.

As for whether his men lived or died, he no longer cared.

After all, these guys were not Zhang Xiong’s confidants or friends, just hired hands. Even if sixty or six hundred died, he wouldn’t care.

The only thing that mattered was his own survival!

Yet, things did not go as planned.

In his hurry to flee, Zhang Xiong found himself unable to control the speedboat he was on!

The boat’s power came from two oars, which could be operated by a single person or by two people simultaneously.

However, whether rowing solo or with a partner, it required a certain level of experience and skill.

Zhang Xiong, unfortunately, had neither experience nor skill.

Seeing others row with ease, he thought he could quickly master it too.

But after a few attempts, the speedboat started to spin on the water.

"Damn it!"

Frustrated and anxious, Zhang Xiong added more force to his efforts.

Yet, the more force he used, the harder it was to control the boat, which wobbled and nearly capsized.

Boom!

Just then, a surge of undercurrent hit the side of the boat heavily from below.

Zhang Xiong completely lost his balance and plunged into the icy river!

The speedboat capsized with him!

Falling into the water, Zhang Xiong was taken aback.

But this Tier Three martial artist did not lose his composure, immediately swimming towards the distant shoreline.

His instincts told him the longer he stayed in the water, the more dangerous it would be!

Reality proved Zhang Xiong’s instincts right.

After swimming only ten steps away, someone suddenly grabbed his right ankle.

Before Zhang Xiong could react, he felt a powerful force dragging him underwater!

Instinctively, Zhang Xiong opened his mouth to shout.

But all he got was a mouthful of river water, submerging his entire body.

He was being pulled towards the bottom!

This time, Zhang Xiong could no longer remain calm, instinctively struggling frantically.

Trying to break free.

But the hand gripping his ankle was like an iron clamp, unmoving.

The strength was terrifying!

Poor Zhang Xiong, with his Tier Three Transformation Realm cultivation, his explosive strength exceeded two thousand pounds.

Yet here in the water, he couldn’t exert even two or three-tenths of his full strength.

Adding to his mediocre swimming ability.

He gulped down several more mouthfuls of water, his strength quickly waning!

The next moment, someone grabbed his left ankle as well.

Now even struggling was difficult for Zhang Xiong, and he was helplessly dragged into deeper water.

This Tier Three martial artist had never felt as desperate as he did now!

Zhang Xiong’s consciousness began to blur, but deep down he was painfully clear of his regret.

He shouldn’t have let greed cloud his judgment, painstakingly scheming.

Thinking he was favored by fortune.

Only to find out in the end that all his machinations cost him his life!

Zhang Xiong expelled his final breath.

His consciousness plunged into darkness.

In the dark depths of the water, Zhang Yuan looked calmly at the drowned prey.

This was the big fish he had caught.

Upon learning that Zhang Xiong was investigating him, Zhang Yuan sensed danger and hurriedly sent his mother to live at Wu Manor.

But simply evading was not the best way to resolve danger.

Termination was!

So he came daily to fish near Feiyan Lake.

To give Zhang Xiong a chance!

Zhang Xiong took the bait as expected.

But this martial artist could never have imagined the kind of advantage Zhang Yuan possessed in the water!

Forget Tier Three Transformation Realm.

Even if a Tier Four True Qi martial artist came, he’d dare to fight underwater.

Underwater was Zhang Yuan’s true arena!

So from the start, Zhang Xiong’s tragedy was destined.

To thank the martial artist for providing him with so much Source Material, Zhang Yuan silently recited the Rebirth Spell.

"Namo Amitabha, Tathagata..."

Compassionately granting him salvation!

[Source Material +18.2]

Tier Three is Tier Three, much stronger than Tier One.

Just as Zhang Yuan was contently preparing to return to the surface, a chill suddenly rose from his tailbone.

Shooting straight to his brain!

He turned around sharply.

In the distance, somehow a graceful figure had appeared!

A pure white long dress, long hair cascading over the shoulders, a lithe form, a waist that could be encircled with one hand, and a face...

A beautiful face that Zhang Yuan could never forget in two lifetimes.

A glance, and it felt like a century had passed.

That familiar face made him unconsciously lower all his guards.

A name surfaced in his mind.

"Xiao Wan."

She was the moonlight of Zhang Yuan’s previous life, his unforgettable first love.

Zhang Yuan never dreamed he would see her again in this life.

And "Xiao Wan" wore a sweet smile, looking as charming as she did back then.

She slowly approached Zhang Yuan, reaching out a slender, jade-like hand.

Her smile carried joy and encouragement.

Zhang Yuan gazed foolishly at his first love.

Just as "Xiao Wan’s" delicate hand was about to touch Zhang Yuan’s face.

His eyes suddenly turned fiercely sharp.

No longer a trace of infatuation or bewilderment!

In the next moment, Zhang Yuan bit his tongue, spitting out a gush of scorching essence blood.

Blood Burning Technique!
