Guarding the River of Time-Chapter 340 - 331: Fellow Daoist Su Mu, Leave With Me

Chapter 340: Chapter 331: Fellow Daoist Su Mu, Leave With Me

On the Long River, the flood roared in.

The fierce wind tousled Su Mu’s hair and whipped his clothes...

The next second.

A wooden boat came sailing from downstream, carrying an old man with a conical hat and gray clothes, standing at the bow.

He approached Su Mu.

"Old man, the flood peak is about to arrive, leave quickly!"

Su Mu turned around and shouted to the old man on the boat.

"Friend, it’s me."

The old man in gray removed his hat and shouted anxiously at Su Mu.

"Elder Zero?" Su Mu recognized this old man, who had been on the river twice before; they were familiar with each other.

"Friend, come with me. I know a way to take you out."

"Take shelter from the storm for now."

Zero shouted loudly to Su Mu.

Hearing this, Su Mu was stunned, then waved his hand with a smile and said, "No, I have to stop this flood... And the one who caused it, I want to see... what kind of deity has targeted me again and again."

After that, Elder Zero stood at the bow, looking at Su Mu who stood firm on the water surface, with a flash of light in his cloudy eyes.

His expression changed, speechless for a while.

It seemed... only Su Mu could stop this flood, but the enemy was aggressive, well-prepared, and had been planning for a long time.

If Su Mu fell into the trap and anything unexpected happened, it would be an unimaginable disaster for all the realms, and the causal effects behind would sweep through all the heavens for a long time...

"Friend, let’s leave."

"This is not running away, just avoiding the sharp edge..."

Zero pleaded with Su Mu, as the flood peak was arriving, a decision had to be made.

Su Mu waved his hand and said, "Friend, leave quickly."

With that, Su Mu slowly turned around, facing upstream, waiting for the flood peak...

He guarded this river, no matter what, stopping the flood, maintaining order and tranquility in the river, was his duty.

Moreover, he also wanted to see who was behind these petty tricks, trying to stab him with a knife. He had been guarding the river for so many years and did not remember having any feuds with anyone.

Seeing Su Mu’s back, Zero was stunned, and did not continue to persuade.

He also made a major decision in his heart, so he didn’t turn and run away but stood a few hundred meters behind Su Mu, waiting...

.....

Waah waah!!

The roar of the flood beast grew closer and closer.

Ripples began to spread from beneath Su Mu’s feet on the river surface.

"This is?!"

Not far away, Zero, watching the flood peak pouring from upstream, widened his eyes, his mind blank.

The flood peak had already risen five meters above the normal water level! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Who could create such a "flood"? Who exactly was the enemy?!

This was the River of Time!

The flood peak approached, like a beast opening its mouth wide, ready to swallow Su Mu whole.

"Friend, be careful!" Zero shouted.

....

As the flood peak was about to engulf Su Mu, he slowly closed his eyes, his divine sense spread out, and in that moment, everything around him seemed to slow down immensely.

The next second, Su Mu slowly raised his right hand, his movements were slow, but to the outside world, they appeared extremely fast.

"Solidify!"

Su Mu suddenly opened his eyes, waved his hand, and the flood peak in front of him instantly solidified into ice.

Whoosh—

The entire Long River quieted down at this moment.

A gust of wind blew off the conical hat from Elder Zero’s hand, letting it fall onto the boat.

Witnessing this scene, Zero was petrified, frozen in place, almost forgetting to breathe.

What kind of world-shaking power was this?

With a wave of his hand, he directly solidified such an enormous Time Flood!

It turns out, he never really saw this man’s true strength from the beginning, he had already grown so powerful, beyond what he could imagine.

.....

After solidifying the flood peak, Su Mu’s gaze still looked ahead, waiting...

Thud—

Thud—

Thud—

Light footsteps sounded, coming from the icy flood surface, reverberating in the ears, unusually clear.

Hearing the footsteps, Zero’s pupils regained focus, feeling the approaching presence, he took a deep breath: "This presence, could it be?!"

.....

Suddenly, the footsteps stopped abruptly.

On the five-meter-high ice surface, a figure appeared.

The figure was tall and majestic, with a bare upper body, revealing perfectly shaped muscles, golden skin, and etched with black runes, covering the upper body.

His hair was thick, cascading down, his pupils deep, showing no emotional fluctuations.

In his right hand, he held a three-meter-high pitch-black Double-Headed Blade, heavy, ancient, emitting a terrifying pressure.

Wearing simple black pants on his lower body, he stood tall, at least two meters high!

...

The man stood on the ice surface, looking down at Su Mu on the water, his initially calm eyes gradually turned blood-red, becoming crazed, almost unable to contain his excitement.

Su Mu looked at the burly man, his brows furrowed.

This doesn’t seem to be the main mastermind behind the flood commotion...

.....

Zero looked at the burly man wielding the pitch-black double blade, his eyes widened.

Why is it this existence??

Wasn’t he... supposed to have perished a hundred epochs ago?

Why has he appeared here?

.....

"Who sent you..."

Su Mu calmly asked, with his hands folded behind his back.

Although this man was strong, he wasn’t enough to instill fear, so... there was someone else behind him.

....

"Kill me, and I will tell you."

The burly man raised the Double-Headed Blade, pointing at Su Mu, his tone unable to hide his excitement.

The next second.

A gust of wind blew, causing the burly man’s body to weather away with the wind.

In an instant, the cold blade reached Su Mu’s neck.

Bang—

The sound of gold and stone echoed, as Su Mu’s punch deflected the blade.

So fast!

Seeing this strike, Zero was stunned as well. This was the River of Time, where strength and speed would be comprehensively suppressed, yet he could unleash such speed. Could it be... he hadn’t died back then and had even reached a higher level?!

The burly man, knocked back, stood on the water with one foot, like a dragonfly skimming the surface, still staring intently at Su Mu.

Suddenly, a ripple appeared on the water surface, and the burly man vanished in an instant.

Su Mu suddenly looked up, his aura erupted, raising his right palm to forcibly catch the falling strike from above by the burly man.

"If you don’t want to speak, then I’ll kill you."

Hearing this, the burly man’s pupils contracted as he exerted force to retrieve his Double-Headed Blade, but found it was tightly grasped by Su Mu’s hand. What terrifying physical strength!

The next second.

Su Mu drew a blade from his sleeve, slashing towards the burly man’s neck.

Just as he was about to sever the man’s head, he saw in the man’s eyes there was no fear, but instead, he smiled.
