546 Solving The Crisis; Reinforcements (1)
Huyang, Dingbo Mouth.

Not far away, the broken part of the dike had expanded countless times. The turbid river water wrapped in sand and mud rushed out along the gap, emitting a rumbling sound like the roar of a yellow dragon.

Moreover, at this moment, the heavy rain was continuously falling, constantly increasing the momentum and water level of the Sha River, and the flood showed no signs of subsiding.

“Aiya, this flood is too serious. What should we do?”

“Chief, why don’t we retreat? How can we resolve such a huge flood?”

“That’s right, and it’s still raining heavily. Why don’t we wait for the flood to subside before we come and block the exit? Anyway, we’ve already been affected, so it doesn’t matter if it takes a few days. There’s no need to take this risk.”

Many of the bandits looked at the terrifying scene in front of them and could not help but feel a chill in their hearts. They all wanted to retreat and tried to persuade Chen Feng bitterly.

Although they had followed Zhou Jing’s orders and came over together, they really did not know what they could do when they saw the scene in front of them.
If they were asked to fight the enemy, they would pick up their sabers and kill them without another word. However, against the power of the world, their mortal bodies were like mantis arms blocking a cart. No matter how many people went up, they would be instantly swept away by the flood and buried in the waves. They did not want to die in vain.

“Stop arguing. Let me think…”

Zhou Jing interrupted everyone and observed the dike. He could not help but have a headache.

He only knew a little about water conservancy. He roughly knew that the best solution was to block the dike and fill it up again.

It was indeed the safest to wait for the water to calm down before sealing it off. However, by then, those that should have been flooded would have already drowned. The losses would be huge.

Zhou Jing gritted his teeth and turned around to order,

“Gather some trees, earth, rocks, and other materials nearby. The more the merrier. I’ll go to the mouth first to see if I can stop the current.”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked. They hurriedly grabbed Zhou Jing with anxious expressions.

“Chief, you can’t do this!”

“We know that Chief’s martial arts are superb, but this flood is fierce and far from what a military formation can compare to. How can pure martial arts resist it?”

“If anything happens to Chief, we won’t be able to absolve ourselves of the blame even if we die a hundred times!”

Zhou Jing shook them off impatiently and shouted,

“Stop being wishy-washy. I won’t die. Hurry up and gather the materials.”

Zhou Jing fell like a meteor into the water with a boom. He immediately felt a surging force coming at him.

Zhou Jing had to force out his inner Qi and circulated his Martial Path Aura at full force. It was as if he had fallen with a thousand kilograms strapped onto him. His legs separated and he suddenly stabbed into the riverbed, up to his thigh.

“Sea Calming Stance!”

Zhou Jing let out a muffled shout and circulated the stance technique of the Sea Whale Sect. All the muscles and bones in his body felt as though they were about to be twisted to the point of snapping, but he held onto his internal force and sank down. His center of gravity lowered, turning himself into a human nail that stabbed into the riverbed to prevent himself from being washed away.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The dark red Martial Path Aura that was fully activated emitted from his body and burned fiercely underwater, stirring up circles of vortexes around him. However, no one could see it in the flood.

Zhou Jing placed his fists by his waist and legs deep into the sand at the bottom of the river. He assumed a stance and finally stabilized his body.

However, in the next moment, he suffered an even stronger resistance. The flood did not stop at all, causing him to be slowly pushed back. His legs dug two trenches in the sand.

It was as if countless fists were hammering at his face without any gaps.

At the same time, the surrounding water was like a ubiquitous hand. The force was chaotic and powerful, pushing or pulling, constantly tearing and destroying his balance.

Veins popped out on Zhou Jing’s forehead, and his face turned red. Against the surging water, he suddenly punched forward with his fists at his waist.

The dark red Martial Path Aura quickly flowed along the muscles and meridians of his arms and spat out from his palms.

Buzz—

In the next moment, two invisible air walls hundreds of times larger than palms were suddenly pushed out.

Diamond Vajra Sect, Prajna Palm Print!

The powerful palm force collided with the floodwaters.

Hong!!!

It was as if an underwater mine had exploded, and a huge water pillar soared into the sky.

Under the fierce collision, the surging flood peaks seemed to have paused for a moment.

“What kind of divine power is this?!”

When the lackeys on the shore saw this scene, their jaws dropped in disbelief.

However, before they could cry out in surprise, the next moment, a new wave came from behind.

The kinetic energy accumulated when the flood stopped erupted with greater force and suddenly swept down!

Zhou Jing broke out of the water and fell not far from the shore, rolling in the mud.

His entire body was wet and covered in mud and grass, in a sorry state.

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly went up to support him, afraid that something would happen to the Chief.

“I’m fine.”

Zhou Jing waved his hand in refusal and gritted his teeth as he stood up. He felt like he was seeing stars, and his ears were buzzing.

He panted twice to adjust his breathing before cursing,

“Damn it, so I really can’t stop it at all.”

Wasn’t this supposed to be the case?!

The corners of everyone’s mouths twitched as they roared in their hearts.

When ordinary people saw this scene, how could they need to try to understand that it would not work? It was obvious at a glance that they could not withstand this force of nature!
