A thick pillar of water fell from the sky and landed on Gu Xi’s position. He quickly dodged it and did not forget to pick up a few skewers of fish that had been roasted by the side.
“I’m not saying this, but you’re too stingy. It’s just eating a few of your fish. You have so many children and grandchildren, so why are you so angry?”
The Golden Carp King emerged from the water. He was almost angered to death by this shameless man. The fish bones by Gu Xi’s feet were almost piled up into a small hill, yet he still dared to say such shameless words.
Another number of water spikes approached, aiming directly at Gu Xi’s life gate. Unexpectedly, Gu Xi’s speed was even faster, and he dodged them every time.
This time, Gu Xi did not use the Black Soul Sword. He waved his long sleeve, and a treasure sword with cold light in all directions appeared in his hand. An ice attribute aura surrounded it.
Clearly, the Golden Carp King was still afraid of the power of the Black Soul Sword. He did not dare to go forward rashly for a moment. Then, he realized that the power of this sword was not as powerful as the Black Soul Sword. He immediately felt relieved and bold.
Several water spikes and water dragons jumped out of the water and charged toward Gu Xi. The Golden Carp King was blinded by hatred and wanted to avenge his descendants. This was also what Gu Xi wanted.
Gu Xi waved the sword in his hand. However, one was on land and the other was in the water. In addition, the Golden Carp King was extremely agile, so it was very difficult to hit it.
The two of them exchanged blows. Water splashed in all directions. The gentle and harmless water was endowed with powerful combat strength by the Golden Carp King. It crashed onto the ground and fell into deep pits one after another.
The Golden Carp King stirred up waves in the water. Every time he swung its tail, there would be countless waves that transformed into a huge beast. It was like the scene of a flood destroying the world.
Gu Xi was also not willing to be outdone. Sword Qi swept out, and powerful water currents swept in the air, as if they were going to pour into the blue sky. However, they only left a white mark on the Golden Carp King’s body.
Those golden scales were extremely hard. With such a strong defense, it was impossible to harm the Golden Carp King.
Similarly, the Golden Carp King was also unable to do anything to Gu Xi. For a moment, the battle between the two was in a state of anxiety, but it stirred up the wind and clouds in the surroundings.
Seeing that the water spikes had no effect on Gu Xi, the Golden Carp King roared angrily. Rays of light flashed through the air and charged straight at Gu Xi.
He was unable to dodge in time. A piercing pain came from his face, and faint traces of blood could be seen. Only then did Gu Xi clearly see that what had scratched him was actually golden scales.
The Golden Carp King immediately revealed a provocative expression, but it did not see the coldness in Gu Xi’s eyes. Ever since he had arrived in the Capital, he had not been injured.
“Very good. Today, I’ll use you to test out my new sword technique.”
Gu Xi rose into the air, his hair flying in all directions. His gaze was ice-cold, as if a demon lord had descended. His longsword moved unhindered, as if splitting the Heavens and Earth. The entire lake was split in two by him, and countless fish were blasted out, they fell to the ground like rain.
For some reason, as it looked at the man in front of it, the Golden Carp King actually felt an inexplicable fear in its heart.
Gu Xi sized up the Golden Carp King. Finally, his eyes stopped on those glittering golden scales. If they were used as refining materials, they would be extremely rare.
Then, he would start from here!
“First move, scrape the scales!”
Gu Xi’s expression changed slightly. The longsword in his hand burst out a dazzling light. He suddenly swept down with overwhelming momentum. The angle of his attack was extremely tricky and strange. His target was the gap between the scales.
During the fight earlier, many scales had fallen, giving Gu Xi an opportunity to take advantage of it. Without any movements, he swept back and forth as if he was really scraping the scales of a fish.
However, a simple action was suffused with the aura of the Great Dao. Every movement was filled with an inexplicable ancient charm. Gu Xi’s expression was neither sad nor happy, as if an Ancient God had descended.
As he waved his sword, the originally indestructible scales fell off one after another. The sword aura raged and penetrated into the scales, and then wandered around the Golden Carp King’s veins to destroy them wantonly.
A single move could affect the whole body. The falling off of a few scales did not attract the golden carp king’s attention. By the time countless scales fell off, it was too late to stop them.
The Golden Carp King was in extreme pain. It kept rolling in the water, and blood spread out, dyeing the water red.
“The second move, cutting the fish belly!”
Hearing this, the Golden Carp King turned pale with fright. At this moment, it could be said that it was in an extremely sorry state. More than half of its scales had been scraped off, and its body was full of potholes. It no longer looked as majestic as before.
Looking at its reflection in the water, the Golden Carp King was furious. However, its golden eyes were mixed with deep fear.
The man in front of it scraped the scales on its body as he wished. One had to know that the scales on the Golden Carp King’s body would change every once in a while. The old scales would fade away, and the new ones would become incomparably hard.
After hundreds of years of accumulation, the scales on its body had long been forged to be indestructible. It was comparable to a top-grade Magical Artifact, and it was even harder to damage it.
However, after a few swooshes of Gu Xi’s sword, there were only a few scales left, and it felt a little scared.
Seeing that the Golden Carp King was about to escape again, Gu Xi sneered. He had long predicted that it would do such a thing. The sword in his hand suddenly stabbed into the ground, and an ice-cold air instantly spread out.
Gu Xi had almost used up all the spiritual energy in his body and poured it into this sword. It was as if his entire body had been sucked out, and his face had turned a little pale. It was only a single move, but it contained an extremely terrifying ice element power.
Countless ice crystals and snowflakes fell from the sky and landed on the surface of the lake, instantly freezing into ice. Even the surrounding flowers and trees were covered in an ice blue color, giving off a rather strange sense of beauty.
The Ice Qi spread, and wherever it passed, it was as if a king was inspecting his own land. Not long after, all the creatures and plants in this area were covered in blue crystals, as if it was a world made of ice and snow.
