Chapter 73

Perfect Calculation

The fisherman in the straw raincoat was in danger, but his eyes remained calm and deep.

"Bang!!!"

Black Tiger was easily repelled, and his body flew backwards and spun several times, smashing through a series of large trees.

The situation suddenly changed, and the fisherman in the straw raincoat, who had been fleeing, calmly shook his sleeves.

Seeing the fisherman in the straw raincoat acting this way, many of the oddballs stopped.

"Is that all?"

The fisherman in the straw raincoat suppressed all his previous expressions of anger or surprise, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He glanced at Zhu Ge not far away, his expression contemptuous: "I thought you had some skills... Zhu Ge, you've disappointed me."

As expected of an actor... Zhu Ge never believed the fisherman in the straw raincoat's anger from the very beginning.

Along the way, he gradually came to know the cunning and ruthlessness at the heart of the fisherman in the straw raincoat.

Now is the time to haul in the nets, so he naturally wouldn't believe the fisherman in the straw raincoat's incompetent rage.

Upon hearing the fisherman in the straw raincoat's words, Zhu Ge was not surprised at all.

"Let me show you the true meaning of my fishing way... the fishing song of Dongting Lake!"

The fisherman in the straw raincoat suddenly looked up to the sky and let out a long howl, bursting forth with powerful energy waves from his body.

This fluctuation was even more terrifying than that of the great ape and the black tiger.

At the same time, a figure appeared above his head, boating on the lake.

A loud fisherman's song rang out from the phantom's mouth, spreading across the vast sky.

"Oh no! He not only possesses divine consciousness, but also true intent!"

"Let's work together to kill him!"

"If this human race is not eliminated, it will surely become a major threat to the Plague God Sparrow in the future!"

"This is a human genius! We must kill him!"

The black tiger and the ape were terrified. They exchanged a glance, and purple and black demonic energy surged from their bodies.

"Knock knock! Knock knock!"

The black tiger and the ape's hearts pounded, and their aura intensified.

Demonic Heart!

Zhu Ge doesn't know what true meaning is.

But looking at the terrifying phantom in the sky, and then at the black tiger and ape that had already used their demonic powers, he could vaguely guess how terrifying this true meaning was.

The songs of fishermen on Dongting Lake are a legacy passed down by fishermen in straw raincoats.

Zhu Ge had previously heard the fisherman in the straw raincoat say that the Dongting fishing song was passed down from Dongting Prefecture in Chu, where many people were said to practice fishing.

That phantom several hundred meters high in the sky might be the "true meaning".

As the fisherman in the straw raincoat had said, the first stage is to condense one's Qi, the second stage is to condense one's mind, and the third stage is to condense one's intention.

At first, Zhu Ge thought that this "condensation of intent" meant the gathering of divine consciousness.

It now appears that, in addition to divine consciousness, there is another kind of true meaning that can also be condensed.

Moreover, it should be something that only so-called geniuses can achieve.

"You persistent black tiger, I'll kill you first."

The fisherman in the straw raincoat spoke coldly, casually waving his hand in the direction of Black Tiger.

The phantom in the sky, holding a fishing rod, also swung the rod towards Black Tiger, mirroring the movements of the fisherman in the straw raincoat.

In an instant, the illusory image of the fishing rod shone brightly, and the originally ethereal fishing hook fell towards the Black Tiger like a meteorite.

Its momentum is like thunder, carrying immense power.

The black tiger, which had been moving nimbly, turned and ran in an instant without the slightest hesitation, disappearing from sight immediately.

The illusory image of the fishing hook in the air instantly shifted and fell towards the direction of the great ape.

Unexpectedly, the great ape roared and raised its hands, directly blocking the fishhook that fell from the sky.

"Hmph." The fisherman in the straw raincoat snorted coldly and swung his right hand.

The fishhook went straight for the other creatures.

"Oh no! Run!"

"This is a human genius! We can't beat him!"

"Damn it! Quickly report this to the Plague God Sparrow!"

The aliens scattered and fled.

Not far away, Zhu Ge showed no surprise that the giant ape could hold them off, nor was he surprised that the aliens were fleeing.

The fisherman in the straw raincoat had encountered many strange creatures. Originally, the fisherman in the straw raincoat was not afraid of anything, but he was particularly afraid of those strange creatures that were very large.

Or rather, those that are very strong.

For example, the bears they encountered, a white rhinoceros, and a large python, etc.

Therefore, at this moment, he used the power of the wedding ghost to lure the giant ape.

That's right, he brought the giant ape and the black tiger there.

It had nothing to do with the Plague God Sparrow; it was he who had the Happy Ghost pretend to be a spirit under the Plague God Sparrow before spreading the false information.

"There are two more..."

Looking into the distance, Zhu Ge could vaguely see some of the figures he longed to see.

Is the fisherman in the straw raincoat hiding?

It's okay.

He has a spider.

His scheme was something that even a mere fisherman in a straw raincoat couldn't escape.

"Fisherman in a straw raincoat, stop acting."

Zhu Ge's voice echoed for miles around: "Two third-realm cultivators and countless first- and second-realm cultivators are attacking you. You're just putting on a show of bravado."

"You want to scare away the outsiders, but in reality, you yourself are already exhausted and on your last legs."

This is him using his blood and energy to stir his voice.

Those aliens hesitated for a moment upon hearing Zhu Ge's voice and stopped fleeing.

"You little beast." A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the fisherman in the straw raincoat.

The next moment, he opened his mouth to sing.

"The heavy rain is hardly falling, and the drizzle is very sparse..."

As the song began, the fisherman's phantom in the sky became increasingly solid.

The fishhook artifact, which had been desperately trapped by Yu Xiucai, trembled violently, as if it would break free from the ink stains at any moment.

At this moment, the hearts of the two humans at the second realm began to beat.

Scholar Yu, and that mechanic.

"A feud spanning ten generations can be avenged, so too can a feud spanning a hundred generations!"

Yu Xiucai's eyes blazed with white light, his robes fluttered, and the character "Ru" written by the teacher over his heart throbbed violently.

"I will shatter like jade, and perish with you."

Scholar Yu's expression was calm, even slightly relaxed: "Lifespan? Take it! This is my way, a martyrdom... If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening."

"Whoa!!!"

In an instant, boundless power surged from Yu Xiucai's body toward the fishhook.

"call……"

A gentle breeze blew by, making the ink stains on the fishhook even darker, and the trembling fishhook remained motionless.

It was suppressed!

However, as the fishhook was suppressed, Yu Xiucai's black hair gradually turned white, each strand becoming as white as snow.

With just one strike, Yu Xiucai's lifespan was nearly exhausted, and his hair turned completely white.

At the same time, two more figures appeared in the distance.

One was Sui Niang, and the other was an old woman leaning on a cane.

At this moment, Sui Niang was wearing a colorful outfit: a long robe with a right-fastening front, trousers, an overcoat, and a dazzling array of headdresses.

The colors are extremely rich and vibrant.

The only shocking sight was the bloodstains on his face.

The old woman was dressed in black, and the top of her walking stick was still burning.

Sui Niang nodded to Zhu Ge, then looked at Yu Xiucai, and whispered something in the ear of the old woman beside her.

The next moment, the old woman nodded and slammed her cane hard on the ground.

The flame at the tip of the cane immediately flared up.

"boom!!!"

The flames reversed upwards, covering the sky like a dome, blocking out the fisherman's phantom in the air.

At the same time, Sui Niang opened her mouth, and a loud and melodious song instantly emanated from her throat.

"Hey--"

Sui Niang opened her mouth to sing, and for a moment her voice even drowned out the fishermen's song that resounded through the sky.

"Fisherman in a straw raincoat, your Dongting fishing song is also a straw raincoat song. I naturally have a way to deal with it."

Zhu Ge displayed a confident demeanor: "You raped Sui Niang and her daughter, but how do you know that Sui Niang was originally from a Yi village around Shiping City?"

"Although she married into my Jianshan Village, she still retains the Yi people's traditions. Even if her Haicai tune can't break your fishermen's songs, it can still interfere."

"As fellow human beings, no one can tolerate a beast like you going unpunished!"

Zhu Ge understood that the fisherman in the straw raincoat possessed much of his skill in his small boat, fishing hook, fish basket, and fishing songs.

The small boat was accidentally destroyed by the plague bird, the fishhook was caught by Yu Xiucai's ink marks, and the fisherman's song was disturbed by the seaweed tune.

Now, the fisherman in his straw raincoat has only his fish basket left as his magic weapon.

The congratulatory song was sung loudly:

"Tiger God, now is the time to seize the god!"

"Little sister, you're bewitched!"
