Tuoba Jingang was furious, like a humanoid beast, it was extremely ferocious, every attack it launched at Chen Hu was extremely terrifying, Chen Hu did not even dare to receive a single attack, he could only retreat awkwardly, he was directly forced to the side of the river by Tuoba Jingang, and stepped on the river water.

Walking on the flat ground and in the water were two entirely different experiences. Tuoba Jingang's claw was approaching, and it was extremely fierce, and Chen Hu, who was bound by the river, dodged slightly slower, and was about to grab his arm. But at this time, Tuoba Jingang gave up on attacking him.

The reason was because they were fighting fiercely on top of the river water. One of the river water was brought up by Chen Hu's foot and poured towards Tuoba Jingang.

Tuoba Jingang purposely did this because he had to use everything around him to create obstacles in Tuoba Jingang's way. After entering the river, he deliberately brought along a pool of water to splash onto Tuoba Jingang, but this pool of water was completely useless and could at most wet Tuoba Jingang's head.

Therefore, Chen Hu felt that it was strange. With Tuoba Jingang's strength, it was impossible for him to not feel that this river was not a threat. Why did he give up on seizing the opportunity to go and block it?

When he was attacked by Tuoba Jingang, he did it in passing and did not imbue his body with any Inner Qi. At the same time, he did not have that much Inner Qi in his body to allow to exhaust himself like this.

What Chen Hu did not expect was that after blocking the river that was splashing towards him, Tuoba Jingang actually frowned and a look of fear flashed across his face.

"He's afraid of water?"

Chen Hu's eyes lit up, but just as the thought popped up, he rejected it. What a joke, Tuoba Jingang was an Innate Ranker at the late stage of the Innate realm, such a person was already immune to water and fire, how could he be afraid of water?

"Kid, you can't run away."

Tuoba Jingang said coldly, and rushed towards Chen Hu once again.

Seeing that, without even thinking, Chen Hu raised his leg and kicked out a river, throwing it at Tuoba Jingang. Even though he felt that the possibility of Tuoba Jingang being afraid of water was very small, he still wanted to try it.

This time was different from last time. When Chen Hu used his Spirit Qi, the splashing river shot out like arrows, enough to break a wooden board. However, to a late stage Innate Ranker, this power was meaningless.

What made Chen Hu overjoyed was that Tuoba Jingang actually chose to dodge, "He's really afraid of water!"

Chen Hu suddenly felt as if he had been struck by a pie in the sky. Impossible, this was really unbelievable.

Chen Hu did not understand, he completely did not understand. What Tuoba Jingang cultivated was not a fire attribute martial art, it was impossible for him to be restrained by water. He had no reason to be afraid of water, but he was afraid of water anyway.

The boundless universe was truly full of wonders.

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed past Chen Hu's mind, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't understand it. Tuoba Jingang being afraid of water was like an opportunity that couldn't be any better.

Without even thinking about it, Chen Hu turned around and retreated. He was like a fish fleeing towards the other side of the river.

Since Tuoba Jingang was afraid of water, he would definitely not dare to chase after him and cross the river. Crossing this river, wouldn't he be safe?

However, a loud shout from behind ended Chen Hu, "Where do you think you can go?!"

Tuoba Jingang actually caught up with him.

Chen Hu's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning again.

Tuoba Jingang was not afraid of the water?

He turned his head to look, only to see that Tuoba Jingang's Zhen Qi was surging as he jumped over the river and chased after him.

Seeing that, Chen Hu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, the conclusion he had made was right, Tuoba Jingang was truly afraid of water, if not, he would have chased him directly, and would not need to use true qi to protect himself.

Even an expert at the late stage of the Innate Realm would not be able to hold on for long. Tuoba Jingang did this to prevent the water from getting in the way, which proved that he was still afraid of the water.

"In that case, let's fight at the bottom of the river!"

Chen Hu moved his body and swam towards the center of the river. As an Innate Ranker, not breathing too much after a few hours, Chen Hu was not worried about suffocating the place at all.

"You won't be able to escape."

Tuoba Jingang passed through the waves and actually caught up with him. His protective Innate Qi was like a bubble, helping him to be cut off from the river.

Seeing that, Chen Hu laughed, what Tuoba Jingang had done was simply courting death, under the river, the pressure of the water was extremely huge, and the deeper they went, the greater the pressure.

Normally, people would feel uncomfortable when they reached a depth of five meters. After ten meters, there would be danger.

Aside from a few special regions, the depth of the large river around the Linhai City was only around five meters. Even so, the water pressure was already huge.

If they were to just quietly stay here, this level of pressure was nothing to Chen Hu and Tuoba Jingang. However, when they fought underwater, not only would they have to resist the pressure of the water, they would also have to cope with the constantly changing water flow and overcome the resistance of the water flow.

Chen Hu was still better off, Tuoba Jingang had even more difficulties, he was still using his protective Innate Qi, the water pressure and resistance had a huge impact on him. Before he could catch up to Chen Hu, he had already used up all of his inner force, and it was even more terrifying than continuously activating his ultimate move.

"You treacherous brat, hurry up and catch him."

Tuoba Jingang secretly clenched his teeth, he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. Previously, he really wanted to capture Chen Hu, but in the end, he did not notice and allowed Chen Hu to escape into the river.

Not only that, he even exposed his biggest weakness of being afraid of water in front of Chen Hu.

"You want to capture me? Hmph, welcome my anger. "

Chen Hu growled. He did not come to the bottom of the river to escape, but to counterattack Tuoba Jingang.

Chen Hu borrowed the change in the flow of the water to complete his turn. Pushing off with both of his legs, he moved like a fish dragon at the tail, and rushed towards Tuoba Jingang.

"Kill!"

Chen Hu's fists were like cannons, churning the water as they flew towards Tuoba Jingang. Although his fist was not even one of the three on the shore, it was still enough to cause damage to Tuoba Jingang due to the resistance of the water.

"You still dare to attack me? You're courting death!"

Tuoba Jingang did not even think about it, and slapped towards Chen Hu.

However, the moment he unleashed his palm power, Tuoba Jingang frowned. With this palm strike, 30% of his power was instantly swallowed by the vast river, the water resistance was so great that it exceeded his imagination.

The two forces collided with each other and with a burst of zhenqi, the water waves exploded and repelled the two. However, due to the resistance of the water, the distance between the two wasn't too far.

"Again."

Chen Hu's legs stomped on the ground, causing the waves to fly around and attack once again towards Tuoba Jingang, but he thought to himself: "His strength has been affected, on the shore, my punch just now was unable to make him retreat."

"Damn it! I can't even use 50% of my power in the water!"

Tuoba Jingang cursed in his heart, but he was a proud and arrogant person, so he naturally did not choose to float above the water to fight with Chen Hu. He believed that Chen Hu would not foolishly follow him to the water surface to fight with him.

"Die!"

Tuoba Jingang secretly became angry, and swore to kill Chen Hu, whether it was in the water or on the shore, he was at the late stage of the Innate realm, and Chen Hu was only at the Mid Xiantian realm.

Peng! If it was said that the previous attack had been a test, then now, both of them were using all their strength to attack.

If there was anyone on the riverbank at this moment, they would see a column of water rushing up from the middle of the river. It soared up more than two meters into the air, and at the same time, countless bubbles began to surge up.

"Pfft."

Chen Hu spat out a mouthful of blood. Even though all the time was on his side, but this time, he was at a disadvantage and was beaten up by Tuoba Jingang to the point of spitting out blood. His opponent was at the late stage of the Innate realm, stronger than him, and not just by a little.

However, although Chen Hu felt terrible about it, he was not in a better condition. He was also shaken by the power of Chen Hu's fist to the point that he felt uncomfortable, and he was even more pressured by the endless water pressure to the point that he almost drowned to death. What Chen Hu did not know was that at that very moment, many images which almost appeared in his mind.

It was easy to defeat others, but very difficult to overcome himself. After Tuoba Jingang had reached the late stage of the Innate Realm, he had been unable to reach a higher level.

That's right, it was an inner demon, just like how some people suffer from fear of heights. This was a heart disease, and fear came from the imagination, and imagination came from the heart. Many people couldn't defeat themselves because they couldn't defeat the inner demon.

However, Tuoba Jingang was an Innate Ranker, he tried his best to restrain his inner demon. If it was in the past, he would take a detour whenever he saw a river, let alone fight with someone else, this battle would be a challenge to Tuoba Jingang. If he could kill Chen Hu in this kind of situation, it wouldn't be long before he could overcome his inner demon and go back home.

"I'll send you to heaven this time!"

Tuoba Jingang secretly channeled his Qi inside his body, and began to prepare for his ultimate move. The river water had too large of a binding force, and the consumption of his Qi was extremely terrifying, so he had to finish Chen Hu off in one go. Otherwise, he might really be able to let Chen Hu escape.

With the protection of the river, he was unable to catch Chen Hu. Now that Chen Hu had taken the initiative to attack him, it was a very good opportunity.

"I don't feel good right now, and he definitely doesn't feel good either. He's probably going to get ready to use his big move."

Chen Hu had been staring at Tuoba Jingang's expression the entire time, trying to figure out Tuoba Jingang's mental state from his expression, although he was not especially sure that Tuoba Jingang was going to use his trump card, he was still extremely cautious.
