1241: C1241 The Edge of the Swamp

C1241 The Edge of the Swamp

Li Hu gritted his teeth and glared at the blue-robed youth.

His eyes were filled with killing intent.

"Hehe, trash!"

The blue robed youth laughed as he walked towards Li Hu.

Li Hu's eyes were filled with wariness as he kept on moving backwards.

Zhou Yan laid on the edge of the swamp, breathing was difficult, and his face was pale white.

"What are you doing?" Li Hu shouted at the top of his lungs.

"What am I doing?"

The blue robed youth smiled playfully as he reached out his right hand and grabbed Li Hu's neck. A surge of power instantly eroded his meridians.

Crack!

With a crisp sound, Li Hu's head tilted to the side and he lost his life.

"You...!"

Zhou Yan looked at this scene in shock, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

He never would have thought that the blue-robed young man would actually kill Li Hu just like that.

"Humph!"

The blue-robed youth coldly snorted, snatched the storage ring from Li Hu's hands, and turned to leave.

Zhou Yan stared blankly at the blue-robed young man's disappearing figure for a long time.

He originally thought that he would definitely die, but he did not expect that an expert would actually save him at such a critical moment.

"Thank you for saving me!"

Zhou Yan struggled to stand up and shouted in the direction that the blue-robed young man had left.

Dadada...

The crisp sound of footsteps could be heard as the blue-robed young man returned.

Upon closer inspection, Zhou Yan saw that the blue-robed young man was holding onto a black snake and throwing it into the grass beside Zhou Yan.

"Thank you, benefactor!"

Zhou Yan hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"You're welcome. You called me 'senior brother' just now, so you must also be a martial artist."

The blue-robed youth waved his hand and said with a faint smile.

"Senior Brother, are you from the martial arts world?"

Zhou Yan's eyelids twitched in surprise.

"You can say that." The blue-robed young man nodded with a smile.

"Then... Senior Brother, do you have any way to help me take revenge?"

Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and said word by word.

"Your injuries are very serious. You will need at least half a month to recover. I can't treat you for the time being."

The blue-robed young man said with slight regret:

"However, when you recover, we can go treasure hunting together."

"Thank you, senior brother."

Hearing that, Zhou Yan sighed.

Whether it was Li Hu or the middle-aged man, both of them were peak Rank 2 martial artists, far surpassing him, a Rank 3 martial artist.

Fortunately, he had the help of this senior brother. Otherwise, his corpse would have long since sunk into the wilderness.

"Junior brother, have you heard of the 'Netherworld Mountain'?"

Suddenly, the blue-robed youth asked.

"Dark Mountain? What kind of place is that?"

Zhou Yan frowned.

Although he was the grandson of the Zhou Family, he had never set foot in the martial arts world due to his identity, let alone heard of the Netherworld Mountain.

"Looks like Junior Brother has never heard of it."

The blue-robed youth's gaze landed on Zhou Yan, as if he wanted to see through him.

"The Netherworld Mountain is one of the three Danger Zones in the north. It is filled with dark fog all year round, and danger lurks everywhere. It is said that countless experts have died, so it is known as the Death Zone."

The blue robed youth explained:

"Apparently, there's a stunning treasure hidden in the depths of the Dark Green Mountain and there's even pills."

"Oh?"

Hearing that, Zhou Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he could not help but ask:

"Senior brother, have you heard of the Black Ice Jade Marrow?"

"Black Ice Jade Marrow?"

The blue-robed young man frowned and pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"Never heard of it."

"Sigh..."

Zhou Yan sighed as a trace of hope rose in his heart. It seemed that he could only rely on his luck to find the Black Ice Jade Marrow.

"Senior brother, what martial skill did you use just now?"

Zhou Yan asked.

"This martial skill is called Iron Palm. I accidentally obtained it from an ancient tomb. It's not worth mentioning."

The blue robed youth said casually.

"Brother is too humble. I know that once one reaches the early stages, they can destroy mountains."

Zhou Yan immediately complimented.

Although he was a playboy, it did not mean that he was ignorant.

Martial arts are divided into nine grades, and every Rank 1 is divided into four grades: Elementary, Intermediate, High, and Great.

Like his grandfather, he was a peak Grade 7 Martial Disciple, known as the King of Martial Disciples.

"Hehe, a mere Yellow Rank martial skill is nothing."

The blue-robed youth waved his hand and said indifferently.

The corner of Zhou Yan's mouth raised slightly, his heart filled with disdain. If not for this martial skill, how could you have instantly killed Li Hu?

Although he did not say it out loud, the blue-robed young man felt it and a cold glint flashed across his eyes.

Then, he raised his hand and pressed it on Zhou Yan's shoulder.

Buzz ~

The blood in Zhou Yan's body boiled as his entire body trembled uncontrollably. His bones cracked as if they had been struck by lightning.

In just a moment, Zhou Yan could not take it anymore and fainted with a miserable scream.

The blue robed youth swept his gaze around to ensure his safety. Then, he carried Zhou Yan and flew towards the Netherworld Mountain.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he appeared at the outskirts of the Nether Mountain.

At this moment, the sky was pitch black, dotted with stars, and the night wind was blowing gently.

At the outer edges of the Dark Nether Mountain, there was a giant stone with a few words carved on it:

Forbidden Dark Zone!

"Forbidden Dark Nether Zone?"

The blue robed youth murmured.

He then jumped into the Forbidden Dark Zone.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The roars of the ghost beasts in the forbidden zone were deafening, as if thousands of demons were roaring.

The forbidden Netherworld area was extremely large and was filled with Demonic Beasts. It was extremely dangerous, and even experts at the Xiantian Realm wouldn't dare to enter.

As the blue-robed youth walked forward, he killed all the Demonic Beasts he met without mercy.

After the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, he arrived at the depths of the forbidden area. There was a towering mountain, and the peak of the mountain was surrounded by clouds and mist. One could even faintly see palaces and buildings.

Halfway up the mountain, in a secret room, a gray-robed elder was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

This elder had white hair and a ruddy complexion, and his eyes were closed. He was the Master of the Zhou Family, a Grade Six Martial Master - Zhou Yuantong!

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Zhou Yuantong opened his eyes. His gaze was as sharp as a sword, piercing through everything as he looked towards the depths of the Netherworld Mountain.1

"What a powerful true energy fluctuation!"

Zhou Yuantong's eyes were wide open, and his face revealed a look of shock.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, he turned into a ray of light and rushed out of the secret room. He followed the aura and quickly rushed over.

"This... how can there be a human aura?"

In the forbidden Netherworld area, a silver white mammoth was lying in the forest. It sniffed the air and revealed a surprised expression.

It was the strongest existence in the Northern Lands and its strength had reached the 5th grade and was comparable to a Martial Master.

"Eh? It's actually a Martial Grandmaster!"

The mammoth's pupils contracted as it was shocked.

Martial Arts Grandmaster was a saint of martial arts. He possessed the power to overturn the heavens and earth and could not be easily humiliated. Even if he was a fifth-grade Demonic Beast, he would not be able to escape misfortune.

Rumble...

The mammoth's figure suddenly expanded and released a terrifying aura, as if an ancient beast had awakened.

Shua!

Its enormous body shot into the sky and disappeared into the depths of the Netherworld Mountain.

...

Within the Netherworld Mountain, the blue-robed young man brought Zhou Yan and crossed more than a hundred meters before finally arriving at the bottom of the mountain.

Within the belly of the mountain, there were piles of bones, broken limbs, and various weapon fragments scattered all over the ground.

"The Demonic Beasts here are all the bones of cultivators!"

Zhou Yan looked around in shock.
