Chapter 660
Water Monster
"Good opportunity, Siyao, use the Mind-Clearing Mantra!" Chen Ze shouted.
Without further hesitation, Tian Siyao quickly recited the incantation, and the jade sword instantly emitted a bright light, rushing towards the water monster.
The water monster let out a painful scream, clearly greatly affected.
"We can't let it recover!" Chen Ze immediately used his Qingfeng Sword to unleash a sword aura, severing the water monster's other tentacle.
Suddenly, a column of water rose from the pool, like the call of a water monster.
However, under the influence of the jade sword and the glass lamp, the water column shattered instantly, and the water monster's body began to become unstable.
"It's over, Water Devourer!" Tian Siyao gritted her teeth and thrust her sword towards the water monster's head.
The water monster let out a final, mournful cry, and its body began to disintegrate, turning into a pool of black water that re-entered the pond.
Chen Ze and Tian Siyao exchanged a smile, but they also understood that this was only the beginning of an unknown adventure.
Their eyes were full of anticipation and determination for the future, but they also understood that in the face of the unknown, only by moving forward hand in hand could they overcome all fears.
The monster's tentacles, like ghosts in the night, twisted and moved rapidly, possessing an indescribable malice.
The Yin-Yang Mirror in Chen Ze's hand shimmered with a ghostly blue light, reminding him that this was definitely not an ordinary water monster.
The water swirled and churned around the tentacles, as if every ripple was a threat to life.
"Chen Ze, be careful!" Tian Siyao warned, her jade sword flashing like a streak of light as she severed a tentacle that was attacking Chen Ze.
The moment the blade met the tentacle, a chilling aura spread throughout the sword.
Chen Ze gritted his teeth, feeling the chill travel from the sword into his body.
At this moment, his Yin-Yang Mirror suddenly emitted an even brighter light, as if to warn him.
"Tian Siyao, this guy is not simple. He may be connected to some unclean things."
Tian Siyao instantly understood and silently recited the mantra for enlightenment.
The chill on the jade sword vanished instantly, replaced by a clear, bright light.
"Behold my Clear Water Whip!" she whispered, and a stream of water shot out from the tip of the sword, rushing towards the water monster like a water dragon.
The water monster let out a deafening roar, and the huge eye in the center of its body instantly turned blood red, filled with rage.
Its tentacles lashed out even more wildly, as if trying to crush everything.
"Use the Fire-Slaying Blade!" Chen Ze told himself, and the Yin-Yang Mirror in his hand transformed into a heavy Fire-Slaying Blade.
He brandished his knife, unleashing a burst of blazing flames that clashed with Tian Siyao's Clear Water Whip.
The collision of fire and water generated a large amount of steam, temporarily restraining the monster's tentacles.
Chen Ze and Tian Siyao almost simultaneously took a few steps back, positioning themselves in a more advantageous defensive position.
Tian Siyao glanced at Chen Ze, and from his deep eyes, she sensed a hint of determination and courage.
At that moment, both of them understood that only by working closely together could they defeat this mysterious water monster with astonishing power.
Chen Ze gripped the hilt of the Fire-Slaying Blade tightly, while Tian Siyao also gripped the Jade Sword. Their eyes met for a moment, as if they had reached some unspoken consensus.
"Are you ready?" Tian Siyao asked softly.
“Of course, let’s end this battle,” Chen Ze replied, his voice revealing an indescribable determination.
At this crucial moment, the two unleashed their ultimate moves almost simultaneously.
The power of the Clear Water Whip and the Falling Fire Blade intertwined once more, forming a massive energy vortex that surged directly toward the water monster whose eyes were growing increasingly ferocious.
The water monster let out a pitiful cry and disappeared into the pool.
At this critical moment, Tian Siyao's heart tightened, as if bound by invisible ropes. Chen Ze, meanwhile, frowned, his Qingfeng Sword in hand, blocking the water monster's attacks time and time again.
Such counterattacks are already quite familiar to them.
However, he also understood that in such a situation, blocking the problem was one thing, but completely solving it was another.
"Chen Ze, look at that rock over there!" In the midst of the tense fight, Tian Siyao's gaze was instantly drawn to a strange rock on the edge of the pool.
The stone seemed to be engraved with some ancient symbols, shimmering with a faint light.
Chen Ze quickly scanned it with the Yin-Yang Mirror and discovered that the stone was no ordinary object.
His eyes lit up, and he thought to himself that this might be an opportunity.
"Siyao, use your jade sword to stab that stone and see if you can trigger anything!"
Without hesitation, Tian Siyao brandished her jade sword, an elegant swordplay drawing a beautiful trajectory in the air, the tip of the sword striking the strange stone precisely.
Instantly, the symbols on the stone began to rotate, as if a password had been unlocked, and a dazzling light shone onto the pool.
The water monster was struck by the light, let out a painful howl, and its body began to shrink continuously until it turned into a stream of clear water and merged into the pool.
"Great, we're safe now." Chen Ze breathed a sigh of relief and sheathed his Qingfeng Sword.
Tian Siyao gripped the jade sword tightly, a smile on her face, but then said solemnly, "However, we should leave here as soon as possible."
The monster here is only temporarily sealed away; it might resurrect at any time.
Chen Ze nodded, knowing he couldn't let his guard down.
He took out the glass cup, shook it gently, and a golden light flashed, landing on the strange stone.
"In this way, if the water monster is resurrected again, it will also be subject to the control of this glass lamp."
The two breathed a slight sigh of relief, but remained highly vigilant.
Tian Siyao gently smoothed her wet hair, while Chen Ze checked his magical artifacts to make sure everything was ready.
"Thank God I escaped death this time," Tian Siyao thought to herself.
"Yes, but this is also a lesson learned."
"We need to be even more careful from now on." Chen Ze said earnestly, his eyes flashing with determination and vigilance.
And so, the two took one last deep look at the pool, then turned and left this place, which was full of danger but also gave them a lot of experience and knowledge.
They knew that the road ahead was long, and they had to be fully prepared for it.
Suddenly, the thick fog on the other side of the pool was violently torn apart, as if some powerful entity was about to emerge.
Then, a monster covered in flame-like scales and wings charged out like a fire dragon.
At this moment, even Chen Ze and Tian Siyao couldn't help but hold their breath, their eyes almost burned by the dazzling flames.
"What the hell is this thing?" Chen Ze involuntarily gripped the Qingfeng Sword in his hand, his expression becoming extremely solemn.
Tian Siyao gripped the jade sword tightly, her eyes filled with surprise and doubt. "I don't know, but it seems like it's about to fight that water monster."
Without hesitation, the newly appeared fire dragon monster pounced directly on the original water monster.
The collision of fire and water immediately stirred up water vapor and steam, as if the whole world was trembling.
The two monsters engaged in a fierce battle, neither willing to back down easily.
The fire dragon monster's tail drew a beautiful yet deadly arc of fire in the air, attempting to cleave the water monster in two.
The water monster retaliated, sending a massive column of water hurtling towards the fire dragon like a trident of Poseidon. (End of Chapter)
