On the surface of the river, Xu Yang swam with his arms and legs alternately kicking the water, chasing the Water Ghost in a "freestyle" swimming posture!
He had taught himself to swim in the canal when he was a child, making his swimming style unorthodox.
His posture was far from standard.
However, his speed was fast; with his magic power circulating throughout his arms and legs, as well as the aid of the Water Manipulation Skill, he was like a speedboat cutting across the water's surface, leaving a trail of waves in his wake!
"Holy shit!"
On the shore, Ma Long exclaimed, "Now this is what you call swimming like a fish!"
...
In the river.
"No..."
"Please spare my life, Master Daoist!"
"I'll never harm anyone again!"
The Water Ghost was utterly terrified!
She felt her entire worldview being turned upside down by this sudden turn of events!
Imagine this: a Water Ghost herself, nearly drowned underwater. Can you believe it?
