Chapter 16 Living Statue

Originally, Master Shui thought that after he generously delivered such a speech, Jiang Cheng and the others would express their admiration or similar emotions. Unfortunately, not only did Jiang Cheng and the others not do so, but they were also very calm. What was even stranger was that these people were no longer looking at him, but at something beside him.

It was as if from this moment on, he was no longer the main character.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Master Shui shivered. He suddenly looked to his side, about only 4 or 5 meters away. A black figure was leaning against the pillar of the pavilion, slowly but powerfully clapping. A black knife, not yet unsheathed, was casually tucked under his arm.

Wu quietly watched him, nodding approvingly, as if infected by Master Shui's demonstrated spirit of contract.

Master Shui stared blankly at Wu, then looked up at the water mirror he had just summoned. The water mirror was still hanging in mid-air, and the small boat was still floating on the vast lake, but this time the two people on it had disappeared.

Even from this distance, Fatty could see that Master Shui had many question marks floating above his head. After all, he had just boasted that his barrier could block Wu, but he was slapped in the face so quickly.

And now, two Wus were standing together, one on the left and one on the right, the scene was very dramatic.

Wu also looked up at the water mirror, his figure swayed, and the next second he appeared in front of the water mirror. Then, in front of Master Shui, he stepped one leg into the water mirror, and then pulled it back.

Seeing that Master Shui still couldn't figure it out, Wu simply drilled back and forth through the water mirror twice. After doing all this, he continued to look at Master Shui, as if asking if he understood now.

Before Master Shui could react, he heard a burst of enthusiastic applause from under the rockery. Fatty, with a flushed face, took the lead in applauding. He could brag about this wonderful performance for the rest of his life.

But Wu seemed to have had enough fun. The next second, he swung his knife, and the blade directly shattered the water mirror. Then, the momentum of the knife did not diminish, and he slashed directly at Master Shui in front of him.

Seeing the blade cutting into the face that was exactly the same as Wu's bit by bit, Fatty couldn't imagine Wu's mood at the moment. A look of fear that Wu would never show appeared on that face. Immediately afterwards, Master Shui was split in half by Wu's knife, the stiff expression still hanging on the two halves of his face.

"Done!" Fatty waved his fist excitedly.

But he soon realized that something was wrong, because Wu didn't sheathe his knife, still in a defensive posture, and didn't even blink.

And the corpse that had been split on the ground was even more bizarre. No blood flowed out. Instead, a large amount of sludge flowed out, carrying a foul, fishy smell, like something that had been dredged up from the bottom of the lake and had been deposited for a long time.

Soon, the two halves of the corpse completely turned into sludge and seeped into the cracks in the rockery. As the last bit of sludge flowed away, the entire rockery shook violently. For a time, the pavilion began to tremble, and the tombstones hidden in the mountain fell down one after another.

Jiang Cheng, Fatty, and the others immediately ran towards the distance. This wasn't an earthquake, but… the entire rockery had come to life. Wu came to Jiang Cheng's side in an instant.

Before long, a behemoth emerged from under the rockery. This was a monster completely composed of sludge, dozens of meters tall, and the rockery just now was just the monster's head.

Seeing this guy clearly, Jiang Cheng remembered the terrifying figure hidden in the mist that he had vaguely seen in Grandpa’s dream on the previous night, this was the guy!

What Master Shui? This was completely a sludge monster from the bottom of the lake!

Wu turned around and rushed towards Master Shui. The sharp blade easily cut open the sludge giant's body, but the next second, the wound healed without a trace. On the contrary, Wu's knife became heavier and heavier, the clear blade gradually being wrapped in sludge, and the swinging action also slowed down bit by bit.

Fatty was anxious. He turned to Tang Qisheng and the others and asked, "Aren't you disciples too? Can you help?"

Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie's faces were pale. Wasn't this a joke? Just the sight of this kind of battle was enough to scare them to death, who would dare to get involved.

Jiang Cheng turned his gaze to Shao Tong. Shao Tong's face was a little pale, obviously also shocked by the scene. "Is there any way?" Jiang Cheng quickly asked, "Didn't you say you had some clues?"

"Clues… there are clues, but not ones that can deal with this kind of thing." Shao Tong swallowed. "This guy is not in my plan, nor is he in… nor is he in the Watchman's plan, at least I don't know. Lu Qin didn't mention it."

"Is it you don't know? Or are you unwilling to say?" Yao Shunyu had a great prejudice against Shao Tong. Seeing Jiang Cheng ask, his tone instantly became aggressive.

Shao Tong felt the same way about Yao Shunyu. "What, are you jumping out now that the battle situation is unclear? Aren't you worried it's too early?"

Yao Shunyu rolled up his sleeves and was about to attack. "We'll subdue you first, and after Wu solves that guy, we'll interrogate you properly together."

Yao Shunyu moved quickly. The two had accumulated a lot of grievances along the way, and now it was time to show their cards. However, Yao Shunyu's punch failed to hit Shao Tong, but was cleverly defused by a hand.

Yao Shunyu looked at Jiang Cheng in disbelief. He had entangled his wrist. Jiang Cheng exerted force in his arm, and dislocated Yao Shunyu's arm with just one move.

Yao Shunyu opened his mouth, unable to say a word. Fatty was also stunned. It took him a few seconds to react, and he shouted at Jiang Cheng while protecting Yao Shunyu, "Doctor, are you crazy? Whose side are you on?"

"He has a problem. This Yao Shunyu is a person planted among us by the Watchmen." Jiang Cheng said sharply, "Don't get in the way, he has a knife!"

But Jiang Cheng said this a little too late. Yao Shunyu had already taken out the knife on his body, but Fatty realized this the moment he turned his head. He could only watch Yao Shunyu raise the knife and gesture in front of his eyes. At this moment, Fatty was desperate. He wasn't afraid of death, but the feeling of being betrayed was unacceptable to him.

But the next second, the knife didn't hold him hostage, nor did it hurt him. Instead, in front of his face, he suddenly threw it out, the blade pointing straight at Shao Tong.

Shao Tong couldn't dodge in time. Seeing that the knife was about to sink into his throat, Jiang Cheng bumped into him, and Shao Tong barely avoided it. Even so, a shallow bloodstain was left on his neck.

"You want to kill someone to silence them!" Tang Qisheng yelled at Yao Shunyu. Seeing the situation, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to attack.

But Yao Shunyu shifted his gaze to Fatty, who was still in a panic. He didn't make any resistance, and stretched out his hands. "If even you don't believe me, then tie me up."

Fatty looked at Yao Shunyu's eyes, and was a little at a loss for a moment. He didn't believe that Yao Shunyu would betray his friends, but it was the doctor who said this.

Jiang Cheng stepped forward, pushed Fatty away, grabbed Yao Shunyu's hands and tied them behind his back. "We've known each other for a while, you can tell us if you have any difficulties, we won't make things difficult for you."

All Yao Shunyu could do at this moment was stare at Shao Tong. He didn't want to talk to Jiang Cheng, because he didn't think it was necessary. But the next second, his wrist was gently pinched, and then, using the force of the rope, his arm was inadvertently lifted upward, and his dislocated right arm was silently reconnected.

"Find a piece of cloth and gag his mouth first." After tightening the rope, Jiang Cheng poked his head out and shouted in the direction of Shao Tong and Tang Qisheng.
