The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

Chen Dong was horrified. This Evil Flood Dragon was incredibly powerful. 'Should I call my master to help deal with this?' he wondered.

But the Evil Flood Dragon was quite enthusiastic. It roared again, and the female Fish People around it started moving once more.

Chen Dong noticed what was happening. The Evil Flood Dragon wasn't just enjoying itself; it was also accumulating power, trying to break free from the two iron chains binding it.

An Evil Flood Dragon that was just chained up could already cause this much trouble. If it broke free, it would be a catastrophe.

Chen Dong circulated his True Qi, preparing to test the chained Evil Flood Dragon's capabilities. After all, he had never seen such a creature before.

In an instant, before Chen Dong could make a move, someone else did.

A massive Ice Arrow shot straight toward the Evil Flood Dragon's vertical eye.

With a rattling of chains, a Jiao Claw swatted out, shattering the Ice Arrow instantly.

"ROAR!" A tremendous roar echoed out, and the oppressive pressure in the area intensified. The Evil Flood Dragon, its fun interrupted, was clearly enraged.

Chen Dong directed his senses toward the figure. It was Murong Qing.

No wonder. Even Chen Dong felt immense pressure this deep underwater; it was doubtful if an ordinary high-level Martial Artist could even use their True Qi down here. Only someone with Murong Qing's special bloodline could have dived this deep.

Murong Qing had been contemplating the cultivation insights Chen Dong had shared with her, but an urgent mission from the Military Suppression Department caught her attention. Investigating the bottom of the river would earn her a twenty-million bounty and the chance to purchase pills from the Military Suppression Department.

A mission like this was practically tailor-made for her. Twenty million was equivalent to the bounty on an ordinary Grandmaster, not to mention the priceless opportunity to buy pills from the Military Suppression Department.

Without the slightest hesitation, Murong Qing had immediately come to this stretch of the river. As a Martial Artist certified by the Military Suppression Department, she entered the water without any obstruction.

The water pressure, which even high-level Martial Artists would struggle to endure, was no different from being on land for her.

Upon reaching the bottom of the abyss and witnessing the Evil Flood Dragon's actions, a Heart Fire of rage ignited within her, and she immediately fired an Ice Arrow at it.

Seeing that the Ice Arrow couldn't harm the giant Flood Dragon in the slightest, she fired countless more Ice Arrows, again aiming for its vertical eye.

The Evil Flood Dragon thrashed about, letting out a frantic roar. A massive whirlpool instantly formed, sucking in the countless Ice Arrows. At the same time, its razor-sharp claws lunged for Murong Qing.

Murong Qing, her body destabilized by the whirlpool's pull, was about to be torn apart by the claws. Chen Dong immediately activated his Outer Appearance, snatching her to safety before landing a power-infused punch on the Evil Flood Dragon.

The Evil Flood Dragon tried to dodge but was held back by the massive iron chains, taking the punch head-on.

"AWOO!" A pained cry escaped the Evil Flood Dragon's mouth. The Fish People, as if startled, swam away in a panic.

A voice echoed in Chen Dong's mind. "Were I not bound by this Dragon-Trapping Chain, I would swallow you whole!"

Chen Dong didn't yet have the ability to transmit his thoughts with Divine Sense. He wanted to retort with a taunt, but all that came out was a gurgle of bubbles. GLUG GLUG.

Yet, the Evil Flood Dragon seemed to understand, for it began to pull violently at the iron chains, making them clang madly.

Manifesting his Outer Appearance deep underwater consumed far more energy than on land. Chen Dong knew he couldn't keep it up for long and prepared to end the fight quickly.

He set Murong Qing aside, and countless runes swirled around the fists of his Outer Appearance as he began to unleash a furious barrage on the Evil Flood Dragon.

The Evil Flood Dragon thrashed about, trying to dodge, but still took several hard punches. It began to beg for mercy: "Stop hitting me! I admit my mistake, I admit it!"

Chen Dong just gurgled, unable to speak.

The Evil Flood Dragon sent another message: "I have been trapped at the bottom of this river for seventy-six hundred years. A few days ago, the seal was broken for some reason, but the Dragon-Trapping Chain remains, and I cannot escape. If you are willing to help me break the Dragon-Trapping Chain, I will lift the curse!"

Chen Dong's eyes turned cold. He didn't believe a word the Evil Flood Dragon said. He gathered True Qi at the fingertip of his Outer Appearance and thrust a Shocking Extreme Finger toward the creature.

The Evil Flood Dragon's vertical eye shrank in terror. "ROOOOAAAAAR!" A startling roar vibrated through the water.

Countless whirlpools suddenly appeared around the Outer Appearance. An astonishing aura gathered in the Evil Flood Dragon's mouth, and with a breath of frigid air, it instantly condensed countless ice crystals to meet Chen Dong's Shocking Extreme Finger.

The finger's power pierced through the ice crystals and struck the Evil Flood Dragon's body, making it wail in agony once more.

The countless whirlpools grew stronger and stronger, tearing at Chen Dong's Outer Appearance. His aura faltered for a moment; fighting at the bottom of the river was a huge disadvantage. This Evil Flood Dragon was not helpless. Its earlier plea was clearly a feigned surrender, a trick to get Chen Dong to help it escape.

The immense pulling force destabilized Chen Dong. Just as he was about to be dragged in, a fair white arm grabbed hold of him.

It was Murong Qing. The water was her home turf. After seeing the Flood Dragon use its whirlpool attack, she had quickly adapted and could now move easily around the vortexes.

She was already stunned that Chen Dong was here, let alone the fact that he was a legendary master of the Outer Appearance Realm.

'How many Martial Artists in the world have reached the Outer Appearance Realm? And I actually considered taking the head of an Outer Appearance expert for a bounty just yesterday. I must have looked like a complete fool.'

"You have thoroughly enraged me! Prepare to die!"

As the voice rang in their minds, the bottom of the abyss began to shake violently. Huge cyan boulders rolled down one after another.

The two Dragon-Trapping Chains were anchored fast, but under the Evil Flood Dragon's violent struggle, one of them was ripped loose with a loud BANG!

"Thirty-six thousand fish will ascend with me! I will carry the torch to illuminate the darkest abyss! The parched land craves the cleansing torrent! The time has come for this serpent to become a dragon!"
