Standing at the Qiantang River, Xiaoqing transformed into her snake form and swam upstream against the current.
It was already afternoon, and the Qiantang River tide had already passed. However, as Xiaoqing continued to control the water and move forward, by the time she reached a kilometer upstream, she had already created a super tide over fifteen meters high.
The tide surged forward, gaining strength rather than weakening. All the boats along the way were capsized, and none of the boatmen survived, all being kicked out of the game. Even the riverbanks on both sides of the Qiantang River could not withstand the fierce tide, and a large amount of river water overflowed, washing away everything along the shore.
Xiaoqing was filled with intense hatred, having long forgotten the warnings of Lishan Laomu.
The tide rose so suddenly that the game administrators had no time to react. By the time they realized something was wrong, the tide was already nearly twenty meters high.
"Which monster did this?" the game director shouted loudly. Hangzhou was not under Chang'e's jurisdiction but belonged to another constellation.
"I don't know. The tide is full of demonic aura, and we can't see through it at all," the monitor operator said, sweating profusely.
"Even the heavenly punishment lightning is useless. The opponent is hiding in the deep water, and we can't hit him," the heavenly punishment administrator shouted in panic.
"Damn it, quickly call the order maintainers. Is there an order maintainer in Hangzhou?" The director was so anxious that he started cursing. The wave was already over twenty-five meters high, and the shores of the Qiantang River were turning into a swamp, with the number of casualties rising sharply. He couldn't help but be anxious.
Someone immediately reported the specific situation: "There are two. One is the Bronze Order Maintainer Fahai, responsible for the Green and White Snake case. The other is the Bronze Order Maintainer Rose Tree, responsible for the Yang Tingyong case. Fahai is closer, at Jinshan Temple on the banks of the Qiantang River!"
"Wait, look in the tide, there's a green snake shadow, it's that green snake!" The monitor operator finally spotted the target.
The director immediately said, "Quickly call Fahai. This is his mission! Damn, when did Xiaoqing become so powerful?"
Initially, when the green snake escaped and the white snake was captured, everyone thought the situation was under control. Xiaoqing was just a second-level monster, and it was only a matter of time before she was caught. No one expected such a turn of events.
Without waiting for the game administrators to contact him, Fahai at Jinshan Temple had already noticed the situation.
He looked at the Qiantang River and saw a white line rolling in from the horizon, the sound of the waves breaking through the sky, like millions of galloping horses, extremely terrifying.
The tide was getting higher and higher. By the time it reached a hundred meters from Jinshan Temple, it was already over thirty meters high, threatening to engulf the temple.
The monks and novices in the temple fled to higher ground, and the entire temple was in chaos.
Fahai received the notification from the game administrators and already knew his opponent was Xiaoqing.
He was secretly shocked. When Xiaoqing escaped, she said she was going to find a master, but he didn't take it seriously, thinking that even if she found a master, it wouldn't cause much trouble, and he could still deal with it.
He never expected that the opponent would really cause such a massive tide!
Seeing Jinshan Temple about to be flooded, Fahai leaped out to the temple gate, planted his staff on the ground, took a deep breath, and let out a thunderous roar.
The Lion Roar Technique, a third-level Daoist spell, attacks the opponent's mind with the sound of thunder and a lion's roar, dispersing the opponent's magical power.
Although in the virtual world, Buddhism and Daoism are different, in the real world, any skill that uses a similar medium of magical power, such as demonic arts, ghostly arts, Buddhist arts, or Daoist arts, is collectively called Eastern Daoist arts. They all belong to the same system of power, just different sects.
A semi-transparent sound wave sphere shot out from in front of Fahai and collided with the surging tide.
Seeing the attack, Xiaoqing, hidden in the water, moved her thoughts, and a wave surged forward to block the sound wave sphere.
With a thunderous explosion, the sound wave sphere exploded, and the wave was shattered into pieces, the sound waves spreading in all directions, audible for dozens of miles.
However, the greatest power of the Lion Roar Technique had been neutralized by the wave. The remaining sound was just residual power. When the sound waves reached the front of the tide, they only caused some insignificant ripples, far from harming Xiaoqing, who was hiding in the water.
The current situation was that Xiaoqing was using the Water Control Spell to harness the full power of the Qiantang River, while Fahai could only rely on his own magical power to resist, equivalent to one person fighting against the power of nature, which was extremely unfair.
"Bald monk, I'll kick you out today!" Xiaoqing's voice came from the waves, sounding somewhat sharp.
As she spoke, countless water arrows shot out from the tide. Before the tide reached, the water arrows were already launched, and in an instant, nearly a thousand water arrows rushed toward Fahai.
The Thousand Arrows Spell, a second-level Daoist spell, each water arrow had the power of a regular arrow, and it was extremely effective against armies.
Xiaoqing only had second-level authority, but the Water Control Spell passed down by Lishan Laomu was incredibly exquisite, combining nearly a thousand zero-level water arrows into one spell, forming this formidable attack.
A thousand water arrows rushed over, and although they were all zero-level, Fahai did not dare to block them directly. A golden light flashed on his body, and he used another powerful spell.
The Invincible Golden Body, a third-level Daoist spell, cast a golden body with supreme Buddhist power to subdue demons and stabilize the world!
Fahai's skin glowed golden, like a golden statue, and he fearlessly swung his staff, charging into the Qiantang River tide.
Although the tide was fierce, the monster in the water was not to be feared. He would charge into the water and forcibly capture the monster today!
At this moment, the water arrows arrived, and nine out of ten hit Fahai, who had activated the Golden Body.
Fahai paused his advance, stomped his feet hard, sinking them deep into the stone steps of the temple gate, leaned forward, and swung his staff like a windmill, making it impenetrable to water and wind.
None of the water arrows that shot at him broke through the staff's defense, all being deflected into harmless mist.
He had to block them, even though the Golden Body at the third level was not easily broken, the impact of the water arrows was enormous, and not blocking them could easily cause him to lose balance.
The game director watched in admiration: "No wonder he's a Bronze Order Maintainer, his skills are truly impressive."
But before he finished speaking, the situation changed.
The Qiantang River tide had already reached close by, colliding with the rocks in front of Jinshan Temple, causing a thunderous roar that shook the earth. The soil and rocks were overturned and swept away by the tide, and even several-ton boulders were pushed to roll rapidly with the tide.
This was the power of the Qiantang River that Xiaoqing had gathered. Wherever it went, everything was destroyed. The originally murky tide, carrying a large amount of mud and rocks, turned into a devastating mudslide!
Fahai's face changed. He realized that the tide had changed, no longer just water, but more mud and rocks. The rocks were violently churned by the tide, and if he charged into the water, he would be attacked countless times, like entering a dense array of rolling rocks.
He had this thought, but the situation did not allow him to dodge. In an instant, the tide crashed into him.
At that moment, Fahai felt as if he was being cut by a thousand blades. Stones kept hitting his body, not breaking his Golden Body, but the impact could not be ignored, pushing him back, and deep grooves appeared on the stone ground.
With a loud thud, a several-ton boulder hit Fahai.
The boulder, a first-level structure, was severely damaged and nearly shattered upon hitting the third-level Golden Body. However, Fahai's body was also scattered by the wild impact, and the Golden Body began to show signs of damage.
Fahai was greatly alarmed and immediately mobilized his magical power to repair the Golden Body. But as he did so, he realized something was wrong. His body was empty, and he had no magical power left.
With the support of the game company, the order maintainers' magical power recovered very quickly. But now, Fahai's Golden Body was under intense attack, like entering a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, and the magical power consumption was unimaginable, unable to keep up with the damage.
Fahai was greatly shaken. Looking up, he saw another boulder coming, and a thought flashed through his mind: Damn it, I'm going to lose!
With a loud thud, the boulder hit Fahai head-on, finally breaking his Golden Body. His body was thrown into the air, and he spat blood as he flew.
"Full health resurrection on the spot!" The director shouted incoherently, realizing that Fahai was already dead.
Immediately, a game administrator, quick on the draw, was about to refresh Fahai's body status in mid-air.
But Xiaoqing could not let this opportunity slip. She rushed out from the wave, wielding a green sword, and with a few swift slashes, cut Fahai's body into pieces.
"Damn it, this girl is vicious! Quickly, didn't many people die from the tide? Find a complete body for Fahai to use!" The director, failing one plan, came up with another.
He realized that the green snake was so powerful because she had harnessed the power of the Qiantang River. Once this power was exhausted, she would be no match for Fahai.
Thus, a farmer on the banks of the Qiantang River jumped up from the mud, his body glowing with golden light, and ran madly toward Jinshan Temple, which was the resurrected Fahai.
He knew that the green snake must have gone to Leifeng Pagoda to save the white snake. If she rescued the white snake, with two against one and his staff lost, he would definitely not be a match, and the situation would be lost.
He absolutely could not let her save the white snake!
