Actually, the moment Zheng Yixin first saw this nearly two-meter-long, flying dragonfish, she felt a little apprehensive.
This was her first encounter with such a fish; who knew how powerful it would be underwater?
However, since she had already decided to battle this dragonfish underwater, if she retreated now, the matter would quickly be blown out of proportion on the martial arts forum.
At that time, the reputation of their "Three Sister Water Foxes" combination would plummet, making it difficult for them to continue their ventures in the martial world.
Therefore, win or lose, this fight was a must!
At this moment, upon hearing Zheng Yixin's words, Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Zheng Yixin, what conditions do you want to propose? Feel free to state them directly!"
Zheng Yixin smiled slightly and said, "If my sisters win, I hope Mr. Cheng can provide us with some of these Nanshan Lake Angding Dragonfish for free!"
This was also a gamble!
What if... they won?
After all, the three sisters were not as wealthy as other cultivators.
In this place, they couldn't even afford a single earthworm.
Besides taking shortcuts, the three sisters truly had no other way.
For the sake of breakthroughs in their cultivation, they had to go all out!
"Agreed. As long as you can defeat my dragonfish, I will satisfy your requests for as many Angding Dragonfish as you three sisters desire!" Cheng Xiaofan said with a magnanimous smile.
Hearing his words, the cultivators gathered around them all turned red-eyed.
But they all knew very well that once they were underwater, they wouldn't be able to hold their breath for even a minute, let alone fight underwater.
"Good, Mr. Cheng, then it's a deal!"
Zheng Yixin raised her hand and clapped it with Cheng Xiaofan.
As their palms met, she immediately felt a warm current flow from Cheng Xiaofan's palm, rapidly spreading throughout her body.
In the blink of an eye, that warm current generated a mysterious power within her.
Instantly, Zheng Yixin couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Was this energy intentionally transmitted to her by the other party?
At this time, Cheng Xiaofan said to the dragonfish, "Go into the water. Remember what I told you: friendship first, competition second. Do not be brutal or injure anyone!"
"Bie Bo Bie Bo!"
Master, stop fussing with me.
I know you've taken a liking to these three beautiful ladies.
You want to use this opportunity to test their capabilities underwater!
Don't worry, I, your dragonfish, will have a good sparring session with them and will absolutely not harm them.
The dragonfish somersaulted in mid-air, flicked its tail, and dived into the deep lake.
Cheng Xiaofan glanced at the three beauties led by Zheng Yixin, smiled slightly, and said, "Now, it's your turn to enter the water!"
"Got it!"
Zheng Yixin glanced at her two younger sisters. The three of them immediately shed their outer white casual wear, revealing fiery red bikinis underneath.
The figures of the three beauties were absolutely stunning!
The male onlookers nearby stared with wide eyes, and in the silence, the sound of gulping could be heard.
Whoosh!
Zheng Yixin leaped into the air, carving a graceful arc, and dived into the water.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
At the same time, Shui Bingqian and Le Dandan also leaped up and plunged into the lake.
In the depths of the lake, when the dragonfish saw the three sisters swimming towards it, it immediately flicked its tail, creating a powerful current underwater, and rapidly swam towards the center of the lake.
Zheng Yixin took the lead, pursuing relentlessly.
Shui Bingqian and Le Dandan followed on either side of their eldest sister.
Upon reaching the center of the lake, the dragonfish suddenly burst out of the water, leaping more than three meters into the air.
Zheng Yixin and her two sisters also leaped out of the water, carving exquisite arcs in the air as they lunged at the dragonfish.
Puff!
Suddenly, a stream of water was ejected from the dragonfish's mouth, accompanied by a series of whistling sounds, like a white silk ribbon dancing in the wind, drifting towards the three sisters.
Zheng Yixin immediately realized that this stream of water was unusual. It possessed strong tensile strength, and if it reached them, it could instantly bind them, leaving them immobile.
It happened in the blink of an eye!
As the stream of water was about to reach them,
She suddenly flipped her body in mid-air, raised one hand, and transformed her palm into a blade. She unleashed several consecutive palm strikes towards the stream of water, cleaving downwards.
Crack crack crack!
With a series of sonic booms, the stream of water was shattered.
"Bie Bo Bie Bo!"
The dragonfish narrowed its eyes and said, "Beautiful lady, you're amazing!"
You can even shatter the stream of water I spat out!
Unfortunately, no matter how it praised her, Zheng Yixin couldn't understand.
Though it seemed long, in reality, from the moment the dragonfish leaped out of the water to Zheng Yixin shattering the water stream, it was only an instant.
Plop!
The dragonfish plunged back into the water.
Zheng Yixin and her two sisters also dived into the lake.
"Wow, this is absolutely spectacular!" A young woman's exclamation could be heard from the shore.
Cheng Xiaofan looked in the direction of the sound and was momentarily stunned. About ten meters away from him, a young beauty was live-streaming.
A remote-controlled drone was tracking the situation on the water from above.
Wasn't this Xu Man, the daughter of Xu Haoyu, the CEO of the provincial capital's streaming platform?
Why was she here?
He hadn't been live-streaming for a while, and the news of dragon energy appearing in Nanshan Lake had caused a huge stir. Xu Haoyu must have become anxious and sent his daughter to Zhuxi Village.
Thinking this, Cheng Xiaofan could understand Xu Haoyu's feelings.
After all, Zhuxi Village had generated immense profits for his streaming platform.
No one would give that up.
Cheng Xiaofan didn't have time to dwell on Xu Man's arrival. He quickly shifted his gaze from her to the depths of the lake.
Others couldn't see what was happening at the bottom of the lake, but he could see it clearly.
The dragonfish, realizing the three sisters had chased it again, flicked its tail fiercely. A world-shattering force stirred the water at the bottom of the lake, creating monstrous waves, as if trying to bury them completely.
The surging waves, with thunderous roars, bore down upon them.
Zheng Yixin quickly signaled to Shui Bingqian and Le Dandan beside her. They sank downwards, pressing themselves close to the muddy bottom of the lake, embedding themselves into it, thus narrowly avoiding the crushing underwater waves.
Just as the dragonfish turned to pounce, Zheng Yixin, Shui Bingqian, and Le Dandan burst from the mud. With another swift move, the three of them simultaneously struck at the dragonfish.
Three palms from three women, stirring up three streams of water underwater, like three sharp swords, piercing towards the dragonfish.
Seeing the unfavorable situation, the dragonfish had no choice but to leap out of the water, evading the three water swords cast by the sisters.
Woosh!
As the dragonfish landed back in the water, it let out a strange roar.
The lakebed once again churned with turbulent waves, like countless runaway horses, roaring thunderously as they surged towards Zheng Yixin and the other two.
Cheng Xiaofan's expression changed. Had the dragonfish gone mad? If Zheng Yixin and the other two were hit by these underwater waves, they would be shattered into pieces.
What about the "friendship first, competition second" that he had emphasized to it?
