156: Water Control

"You sneak attack me, and then you want me to get lost?"

Li Canglan's anger rose from his heart. He kicked off fiercely with both feet, shooting toward the Water Demon like a cannonball.

The Water Demon let out a few unintelligible roars and thrust its trident forward fiercely.

Three more water arrow waves shot towards him.

Li Canglan was not good at swimming, so he could not easily dodge this attack.

He could only swing his fangtian halberd, cutting through the three arrows.

"This Water Demon doesn't seem as strong as I imagined," Li Canglan muttered to himself.

This was not surprising, as the blue water snake had been wreaking havoc nearby.

The Water Demon dwelling underwater certainly shouldn't be stronger than the water snake.

Relying on the powerful strength bolstered by the Giant Spirit Sky-Breaking Force, Li Canglan approached the Water Demon at extreme speed.

The Water Demon was shocked and furious, immediately manipulating the surrounding water waves in an attempt to push Li Canglan away.

However, it posed no obstacle at all to Li Canglan.

Seeing that it was no match, the Water Demon turned around, intending to ride the waves and escape.

But naturally, Li Canglan would not let this Water Demon that had ambushed him leave.

He swung his fangtian halberd, unleashing a forty-meter-long blade of energy.

It sliced the Water Demon into two, starting from the top of its head!

Cyan blood flowed out from the Water Demon's body.

The Water Demon only endured a moment of pain before being split in two.

Li Canglan realized that his combat power was still slightly weaker than it was on land.

In the future, he would have to avoid this situation as much as possible.

Otherwise, if he encountered danger, he might not even have the power to fight back.

He used his spatial ring to store the Water Demon's corpse, then swam rapidly to the surface and headed toward the shore.

Not long after he left, several Water Demons with similar appearances arrived, riding the waves.

There were both males and females in the group.

The Female Water Demons were scantily clad, yet they didn't seem to feel any shame.

Upon sensing that the Water Demon had died, the expressions of these Water Demons became extremely ugly, and they quickly rushed back to the palace to report the news.

After leaving the lake, Li Canglan found a random open space and began to absorb the energy from the crystal core.

The Demonic Beasts within a few kilometers had almost all been wiped out by him.

He didn't need to worry about any Demonic Beasts coming to disturb him.

Absorbing the crystal core energy now was both to restore his own depleted state and to improve his strength.

As the energy from the blue water snake's water element crystal core surged into Li Canglan's body, his sensitivity to the water element continued to rise.

In the end, it barely reached B-rank before stopping.

"This crystal core is still inferior to the Black Scaled Flood Dragon's," Li Canglan said, slowly standing up and looking toward the distant lake.

"I wonder if the improvement in my water element talent will allow me to stay in the lake for longer?"

Thinking this, Li Canglan went to the lakeside, took a deep breath, and dove into the lake.

He held his breath and waited in the center of the lake.

This time, he could clearly feel that he could hold his breath in the water for much longer.

It wasn't until nearly half an hour had passed that he finally felt a hint of discomfort.

Splash. Li Canglan burst out of the water and grinned.

"Half an hour should be enough."

After a short rest, Li Canglan swam to the location above the underwater palace from his memory.

After taking a deep breath, he plunged into the water and swam straight toward the underwater palace.

When he was about a few hundred meters away from the palace, ripples suddenly appeared in the water current.

A dozen or so Water Demons similar to the one from before swam out from the palace.

Without saying a word, they launched an attack on Li Canglan.

"It's perfect to use you all to hone my Martial Skill."

Li Canglan muttered silently in his heart, raised his fangtian halberd, and charged up.

The strength of these Water Demons was much the same.

Roughly between Two-star Late Stage and Three-star.

Placed in the outside world, they might be a considerable force.

But for Li Canglan, they were nothing more than ants that could be killed with a casual strike.

A moment later, dark green blood flowed continuously from the corpses.

It quickly dissipated into the lake water.

However, after Li Canglan killed these Water Demons, he did not find any crystal cores inside their bodies.

"Is the drop rate for these Water Demons this low?"

Li Canglan curled his lips and intended to continue swimming toward the palace.

Just then, he suddenly saw a stunningly beautiful Female Water Demon appear above the distant palace.

Unlike those previous Water Demons with seaweed-like hair and bodies covered in green scales, this Water Demon's body was smooth and fair, just like a normal human.

Only by looking closely would one notice the faint, pearly-white scales on the Water Demon's forehead and body.

"Do Water Demons these days... not wear clothes?"

Li Canglan was, after all, at an age full of vigor.

Seeing that nearly perfect physique, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

However, at that moment, the Female Water Demon winked at Li Canglan.

Li Canglan felt his Divine Soul turning upside down, completely captivated.

But under the suppression of his Realm, Li Canglan quickly realized that this was the Female Water Demon's charm technique.

He shook his head and quickly cleared his distracting thoughts.

Even if he wanted someone, it should be a normal female human.

Facing a Water Demon in heat, one cannot, at the very least, one should not!

Swish. Before Li Canglan had fully regained his senses, the surrounding lake water, driven by the Female Water Demon, froze up like ice blocks.

It was as if a powerful water pressure was squeezing onto Li Canglan, causing even his body to faintly deform.

The Female Water Demon pursed her lips slightly, revealing an expression of holding the winning hand.

This was her specialty.

Changing the pressure by adjusting the density of the water within a certain range.

Making the water, which was hundreds of meters deep, reach the terrifying pressure of a thousand meters deep!

As everyone knows, as water depth increases, water pressure reaches an extremely terrifying level.

Until a person's body, like a watermelon, suddenly explodes.

When Li Canglan regained his senses, he was already trapped in such a cage.

He only felt as if his body was in a quagmire, and moving was extremely sluggish.

"You made me get big, I'll deal with you properly!"

Li Canglan gave a sinister smile, and his entire body suddenly surged in size.

His strength and speed also soared to a terrifying level.

Even if this Female Water Demon could manipulate water pressure, she was still limited by her own strength.

And after Li Canglan's water element talent improved, he also possessed a certain degree of control over the lake water.

Even if it was not as good as the Female Water Demon's, with power sufficient to overcome ten techniques with one force, he could easily break through the restrictions of the water pressure.

Li Canglan kicked off into the void, his body shooting out like a fishing spear.

The Female Water Demon's face was filled with horror; she never expected that the opponent could escape such terrifying water pressure.

Splash!

The scales on the Female Water Demon's forehead flashed, and the surrounding lake water was drawn out, forming a constantly rotating water shield to block in front of her.

Puchi!

However, under absolute power, the fangtian halberd passed through the water shield with ease.
