Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 1337 Winning isn't a skill

"Senior Brother Gao, this kid has sunk to the bottom of the water."

Mu Qianyang said urgently.

Gao Zhengqing knew perfectly well what was going on. After a brief silence, he waved his hand.

"Junior Brother Mu, we need to get in the water."

They could no longer stay on the shore. If Lin Feng took advantage of being out of their consciousness and secretly left, they would fail at the last minute, lose this precious opportunity, and the subsequent capture and killing would be doubly difficult.

Just as the two were about to go into the water, they heard someone respond with a whistling sound in the distance. It was Yan Su and Gui Ju, who had been separately surrounding Lin Feng. After hearing Gao Zhengqing's whistling sound, they rushed over.

Gao Zhengqing raised his hand, signaling Mu Qianyang to temporarily halt his actions.

These two are top figures in hidden sects and leaders of two major sects, so they must maintain a dignified and upright image.

How could you not be embarrassed when you're trying to grab someone by diving into the water?

This task can naturally be entrusted to two elders from the sect, who can then monitor the situation from the sidelines.

Yan Su and Gui Ju arrived almost simultaneously.

As soon as he landed, Gao Zhengqing pointed to the middle of the river.

"Lin Feng is at the bottom of the river. You two go into the water and capture him."

Yan Su and Gui Ju paused for a moment.

The two men had their hands and feet broken by Lin Feng, and a deep hatred had long been buried in their hearts. This time, they were desperately chasing after him because they wanted to avenge this grudge first.

Lin Feng had lost his broken sword and was no match for the two men. With the two sect leaders by his side, the two men no longer hesitated, turned and leaped into the water.

Following Gao Zhengqing's instructions, the two of them slid towards the middle of the river like fish.

With abundant internal energy, one doesn't need to worry about the time involved in breathing.

The water was deep and the river was vast, and their consciousness was impaired, so the two separated underwater to search for each other.

Using their inner energy to propel their bodies, they can swim very fast underwater.

Within fifteen minutes, the two went their separate ways into the deepest part of the river.

Gui Ju went upstream, while Yan Su searched downstream.

The two struggled forward, knowing that with the sect leader watching from the shore, Lin Feng would definitely not escape the river and must be hiding in the deepest part of the water.

Finally, after swimming about a mile forward, Gui Ju spotted Lin Feng in her mind.

He was thrilled. "Finally, I've caught you! I broke one of your arms, and today I'll break both of your legs so you can run away again."

Lin Feng didn't move much, seemingly exhausted. He hugged a large rock with both hands and swam slowly forward, but Gui Ju quickly caught up with him.

Unable to speak underwater, Gui Ju didn't waste any words. He released his true energy and instantly rushed above Lin Feng, reaching out to grab Lin Feng's neck.

Lin Feng, who seemed to be exhausted, suddenly flipped over and grabbed Gui Ju's wrist with one hand.

Gui Ju was missing an arm, which naturally put him at a disadvantage underwater, but he was not afraid. Relying on his abundant internal energy and advanced skills, he channeled his internal energy along his arm into Lin Feng's meridians.

He planned to use his inner energy to knock Lin Feng unconscious, then lock his neck, break his legs, and carry him to the riverbank, thus fulfilling his greatest wish of many days.

Unfortunately, he underestimated the strength of Lin Feng's internal energy. What he didn't expect was that the broken sword flashed from Lin Feng's lower back and pierced into Gui Ju's lower abdomen.

Gui Ju had no way to dodge. His only remaining hand was still tightly bound by Lin Feng. He lost his agility in the deep water, and his side kicks missed. He could only stare in astonishment as the broken sword pierced into his dantian.

He never imagined that the broken sword that haunted his dreams would reappear with Lin Feng.

In desperation, Gui Ju tried to kick Lin Feng with both legs, but Lin Feng's legs wrapped around her and held her tightly, preventing her from moving.

The two bodies were intertwined and wrestling underwater.

Gui Ju was missing an arm, and Lin Feng easily grabbed his neck with his left hand.

Gui Ju saw the mockery on Lin Feng's face and lamented in his heart that he had been tricked.

He should have realized that the broken sword was missing and none of the three people admitted to having it. Why didn't he consider that the broken sword was made by Lin Feng, and such a treasure could not be easily obtained by them?

Gui Ju's thoughts were in disarray, and he was unable to control them as his internal energy rapidly dissipated.

Within moments, he felt dizzy, saw stars before his eyes, and his consciousness gradually faded into chaos.

Time passed slowly, and Gui Ju's body had shrunk into a ball, which Lin Feng pressed down on with stones from the bottom of the river.

Lin Feng glanced at the huge rock, his consciousness unable to penetrate it, and silently recited in his mind.

"I'll come back later to take your head and offer it as a sacrifice to my master's spirit in heaven."

After muttering to himself for a moment, Lin Feng turned around and continued swimming slowly upstream.

He knew that sooner or later someone would come down into the water to find him. Whoever it was, with his broken sword and his own strength, he would be invincible in such deep water.

As long as they don't all come and attack at once, we can remain invincible.

Gao Zhengqing and Mu Qianyang were on opposite sides of the river: one on the north bank and the other on the south bank.

The two anxiously watched the water's surface, but not a single ripple appeared; only occasional bursts of bubbles emerged.

This means that while a person is still underwater, they cannot use their consciousness to perceive the specific situation.

The water was already very wide, and its depth was unknown, leaving the two top leaders of the reclusive sects at a loss for what to do.

Gao Zhengqing waved to Mu Qianyang, and the two of them began to explore the underwater situation separately, one going west and the other east, in case Lin Feng went against their plan and escaped their surveillance range.

They simply didn't believe that Lin Feng could stay underwater for the rest of his life.

Both were high-level cultivators, extremely familiar with their cultivation techniques, and knew that they could shield their breathing for extended periods by relying on their internal energy.

The length of time one can hold their breath varies from person to person.

Even the most powerful cultivators probably wouldn't last more than two days; that's the maximum.

Therefore, Gao Zhengqing wasn't too worried; Lin Feng was still under their control.

Sure enough, within half a day, Gao Zhengqing detected Lin Feng's figure in his mind, as he was surging up from the deep water.

Gao Zhengqing sneered. "You finally couldn't hold back anymore, huh?"

However, with his sneer still on his face, Lin Feng surfaced, took a few deep breaths, and then submerged again.

Holy crap, this works?

Gao Zhengqing regretted not rushing over to arrest the person immediately.

He was still hesitant. Underwater combat was his weakness. As the leader of a sect and a top figure in the cultivation world, how could he fight like a street thug?

In his mind, every punch and palm strike had its origin, and every leg and foot kick had its own method.

Winning isn't a skill; winning gracefully is what truly matters.

Whether it's a life-or-death feud or a friendly spar between cultivators, he must not lose the demeanor of a sect leader.

Gao Zhengqing thought so, and Mu Qianyang had the same thought. The two were not much different and both belonged to the top positions in the cultivation world. How could they lose their status in front of each other?

Of course, if only one of the two is here, and there are no other disciples around, they might put aside all this and take down their enemy first.

Another day and night passed.

During the incident, Lin Feng attempted to surface for air twice, but was allowed to leave the water alone.
