Chapter 1121 - 1121 1081 Unexpected Escape

1121: Chapter 1081: Unexpected Escape 1121: Chapter 1081: Unexpected Escape The flood dragon in the lake, seeing the situation worsen, immediately dived into the water to evade the Fiery Sword Qi released by Lu Chuan.

Even though it dodged in time, it was still scorched by the fierce high-temperature Divine Fire, suffering burns on its back.

Lu Chuan stood on the shore watching the flood dragon in the lake, “This guy really is a bit tough to deal with.”

“However, fortunately, it was hit by the siege weaponry, so it won’t be able to dive to the bottom of the lake for a while.”

“Since it can’t escape, then I have plenty of ways to handle this guy.”

Beside him, Su Jingqian came over, his face tense as he looked at the surface of the lake, “The lake is constantly rippling; that guy has entered the water but is still struggling.”

“What should we do next?

If it hides in the lake and doesn’t come out, we can’t just rush in.”

Lu Chuan continued, “My Fiery Sword Qi can penetrate the surface of the lake and cause it harm.

However, it is certain that the power will be greatly reduced.”

“But even so, I am still capable of slaying the flood dragon.”

Lu Chuan said with a determined tone.

Then, he once again raised the Soul Terminating Sword in his hands, covering it with the Divine Fire of the Sun.

“Well then, although water and fire are incompatible, and by all reasoning, flames should not be able to penetrate the lake water, but after all, this is Divine Fire; it should still possess its power.”

Su Jingqian looked at the lake surface with a worried face.

“That guy has been struggling for a long time and hasn’t broken free at ease.

I guess it probably can’t escape.

With this, we have a chance of winning.

As long as we don’t let this guy dive to the bottom of the lake, we still have a chance!”

Su Jingqian clenched his fists and looked at Lu Chuan, “Let’s do it; this guy definitely won’t be able to escape.”

Just then, the ripples in the lake disappeared, and the surface gradually grew calm.

Su Jingqian’s brows furrowed tightly, “This guy must be out of strength.”

Lu Chuan leaped into the air, jumped mid-air, and shot Sword Qi towards the lake surface.

The two lock chains shot by the siege weaponry were firmly embedded in the flood dragon’s body.

Thus, Lu Chuan just needed to see the direction in which the chains were connected to infer the flood dragon’s location.

Boom!!!

The Fiery Sword Qi came fiercely; upon touching the surface of the lake, it created a large swath of white mist drifting up.

The water’s surface immediately began to boil, splitting apart under the pressure of the Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi plunged into the lake, causing the surface to boil completely, with endless white mist drifting up continuously.

Whoosh!

The Sword Qi, with unerring accuracy, struck the flood dragon, causing it to frantically struggle once again!

The surface of the lake started to churn, mixed with the boiling water that was rolling high in temperature, making the whole Cloud Sea Lake appear as though it was being stirred with constant fluctuations.

Bang!!!

Suddenly, the chains broke, the flood dragon broke free of its restraints, and with a swift motion, it dived to the bottom of the lake, escaping the surface.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan immediately frowned.

“What happened?

It suddenly broke free?”

Lu Chuan landed back on the ground, and Su Jingqian hurriedly approached.

“What was that sudden loud noise just now?” He asked curiously.

“The chains have been broken free, and that creature has already dived to the bottom of the lake, fleeing this place!”

Lu Chuan sheathed the Soul Terminating Sword.

Hearing that, Su Jingqian held his forehead, looking at the lake surface with some surprise.

“No way…

how could this happen…”

“This is impossible; the chains on the warships are very thick, made of cast iron; they can’t easily be broken.”

“If you had said that creature dragged the two damaged warships into the lake, I might’ve believed it possible, but to break the iron chains, I simply can’t understand it!”

He felt utterly incredulous, this was just too absurd!

How could such thick chains possibly be so easily broken free by a flood dragon?

Lu Chuan scratched his head, “I also feel there’s some problem, but that guy sustained heavy injuries, I reckon he won’t be making a comeback anytime soon.”

“How about this, I’ll go into the lake and see what’s going on, to see exactly how it was broken off.”

Lu Chuan said and walked toward the lake surface.

“Be careful, don’t get ambushed by that guy!”

Su Jingqian cautiously reminded.

Lu Chuan walked on the lake surface and slowly approached the chain.

Following the chain connected next to the warship, Lu Chuan looked down and suddenly saw where the chain was broken.

Squatting on the lake surface, Lu Chuan peered carefully into the lake.

He was startled to discover that the break in the chain was smooth and even!

It was clear from the cut surface; it had been sliced by a sharp sword edge or knife blade.

How could a chain that was supposedly broken free by sheer brute force have such a cut surface?

Lu Chuan immediately realized something was off.

“Was it man-made?”

“Who could it be?”

Among the people who came this time, it’s unlikely anyone would do this, even the strongest among them, Huang Tiankang, couldn’t do it, nor did he need to.

Lu Chuan turned and walked back toward the shore.

Su Jingqian hurriedly asked, “Did you find the flood dragon?”

“No, that guy indeed struggled free and then dove to the bottom of the lake.”

“So, it really was like that!”

“How exactly did that guy break free?

The chain is still on the lake surface!”

He looked at Lu Chuan with confusion.

“I just went over and saw, the chain was cut open, there’s a smooth cut surface.”

“Cut surface?

No way, could it be that the flood dragon cut it with its sharp claws?”

“This creature actually has such an ability, that’s really strange!”

“Lu Chuan, what should we do?

This flood dragon seems extraordinary, if we let it get away, we’ll never dare to return to this lake surface again.”

Lu Chuan shrugged helplessly, “What’s the use telling me all this?”

“Moreover, I don’t think it was the flood dragon’s claws that cut it.

If it had the ability, it would have done so long ago.”

“Then…

then what happened?

Did the chain break by itself?

Huang Tiankang is really something, to forge a chain that’s so unreliable, now we’re in trouble!”

Lu Chuan came to his side and said earnestly, “Do you think it’s possible that someone dived into the lake, cut the chain open, and let that creature escape?”

“What you’re saying…

seems not impossible, indeed!”

Su Jingqian nodded as if suddenly realizing, “But, who would do such a thing?

It’s too lacking in public spirit; we’ve sacrificed so many people to slay the flood dragon, and someone messed it up!”

“If we find this person, they must be executed!”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, patted his shoulder, and said, “Let’s go, bring everyone back, it seems there’s no chance today.”

“I feel the same, if the flood dragon fled from here, it would definitely hide first to heal its wounds.”

Lu Chuan walked toward the horses on the shore, mounted one, and prepared to leave.

Then, Jyang Ran and Yu Qiming also came over.

“Are we returning now?”

Jyang Ran looked up at Lu Chuan.

“Yes, time to go back, let’s call it a day for today, we’ll come back if there’s further information.”

“What about the flood dragon?

Is it dead?”

“No, that guy broke free from the chain and got away.”

“Really?

Then this creature must be really strong.”
