Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

An hour later, in the poisonous fog.

Liu Lanqing, Wu Qinglei, Xiao Ye, and Qin Xiang followed behind Lin Yan as fast as lightning and broke through the poisonous fog.

Lin Yan was extremely fast, so Liu Lanqing and Wu Qinglei could naturally keep up. However, Xiao Ye and Qin Xiang were at the same realm as him, but they actually did not find it difficult to follow him. It was obvious that the two of them were not inferior to him in terms of speed.

However, he did not know if the two of them would be a match for him if he entered the Little Green Dragon state and used Critical Strike.

Soon, everyone arrived at the small valley outside the poisonous fog.

The greenery was lush, and their breathing suddenly relaxed. Even though they had the antidotes with them, walking in the poisonous fog still made them feel the fear of death. Sweat dripped from their foreheads.

“Take a break and adjust your condition.”

Liu Lanqing gave the order and waved at Lin Yan. “Lin Yan, tell me the terrain in detail.”

A hint of helplessness flashed across Lin Yan’s face.

Liu Lanqing looked gentle on the surface, but her personality was extremely swift and decisive.

Before he set off, he had originally wanted to explain the detailed terrain and discuss it with Liu Lanqing at length.

However, he did not expect that after he said a few words, Liu Lanqing immediately gathered Xiao Ye, Qin Xiang, and Wu Qinglei and urged him to set off immediately.

She ran all the way here before asking him for the exact situation again.

She was too hasty…

After hearing Lin Yan’s words, Liu Lanqing’s beautiful face remained calm. “Giant Spirit Soldier, Giant Divine Soldier, there are quite a few tricks. However, these things are indeed not the style of our Qianyuan Prefecture…”

She glanced at them and smiled. “Let’s continue!”

It hadn’t been long since they sat down…

Wu Qinglei had a helpless expression as he gave Lin Yan a look. The group stood up again and set off again.

The underground tunnel was difficult to walk through, but the few of them were all top-notch experts. Naturally, it was as if they were walking on flat ground. Soon, they reached the deep pool.

They shook off the dampness on their bodies.

“This deep pool…” Liu Lanqing bent down and looked into the pool. A glint flashed across her eyes. “Old Wu, is it as I think?”

Wu Qinglei reached out and broke off a huge cobblestone from the ground. He threw it into the water. Without a sound, the stone was swallowed by the deep pool, but it didn’t make a sound.

“That’s right. This is Dragon Swallowing Water, a unique scene of the underground world. If nothing goes wrong, there’s another deep pool below this deep pool, and another underground space.”

A trace of worry flashed across Liu Lanqing’s eyes. “There are much more secrets in this ruin than I imagined. Let’s go and get down to business first.”

Following Lin Yan’s guidance, the few of them went down to the bottom of the crack and followed the Netherworld River to the poisonous fog.

“Issuer Liu, do you recognize this ore?”

Liu Lanqing played with the grayish-black ore in her hand. It was from the camp. “I don’t. Take it back and let those who know about it take a look.”

Along the way, Lin Yan also asked about the whereabouts of the corpses.

Liu Lanqing said meaningfully, “This world is far from as simple as it looks on the surface. It also contains too many unknown mysteries. For example, this Netherworld River. We don’t know where it comes from or where it goes. How can mortals like us understand the secrets it contains?”

She didn’t answer the question and her words were mysterious. Lin Yan couldn’t tell what she was trying to say.

However, those people had probably jumped into the Netherworld River, right? Or had they been swallowed by the Netherworld River?

After taking the antidote, they passed through the long poisonous fog area and the continuous empty spaces. Soon, they heard clanging sounds at the same time.

Lin Yan broke a stone and threw it out again.

The three withered people who received the signal crawled out of the poisonous fog and heaved a sigh of relief. “Sir! You’re finally here! Greetings, sirs!”

Lin Yan introduced Liu Lanqing’s identity and retreated to the side. His mission had been completed, and he could only wait for his merits.

Liu Lanqing briefly understood the situation from the three of them. Her expression became serious, and she was like a different person from her usual state. “The situation is more serious than I thought. There are many enemies. A rough estimate is that there are three to five Type-II Giant Spirit Soldiers comparable to the combat strength of the Noble Realm.”

“There’s also a Giant Divine Soldier with unknown combat strength.

“Therefore, this time, we have to approach carefully. We can’t alert the enemy. We have to eliminate the other party’s strength first before launching an all-out attack.

“During the final battle, Old Wu and I will deal with the fake city lord and the Giant Divine Soldier. The two of you, deal with the escaped Giant Spirit Soldiers. Don’t let any of them escape, understand?”

After Liu Lanqing finished arranging the battle plan, she blinked at Lin Yan. “Your strength is limited. Wait here, but… don’t approach the battlefield. Otherwise, we’ll have to split our attention to save you.”

Lin Yan was overjoyed. “I promise to complete the mission!”

Wu Qinglei opened his mouth. Lin Yan was not necessarily weaker than Qin Xiang and Xiao Ye.

However, when he thought about how Lin Yan was a temporary Demon Suppression Guard and did not need to bear the responsibility of combat, he did not say anything.

On the other hand, Hong Xi and Yang Zheng stole a glance at the calm Lin Yan. They couldn’t help but recall how Lin Yan’s eyes contained lightning and an incomparably terrifying aura. He was even more terrifying than the fake City Lord!

With Lin Yan’s terrifying aura, he could only be said to be limited in strength. Then, how powerful were the four people in front of them?

As expected of martial artists from the prefecture capital. They were indeed heaven-defyingly strong.

The three of them shrunk their necks and watched quietly with Lin Yan as the four of them entered the poisonous fog.

Lin Yan couldn’t be bothered with them. He sat down and rested quietly.

Previously, the fake City Lord had been severely injured by Liu Lanqing and Wu Qinglei. This time, he shouldn’t be a match, right?

Just as he was thinking this, a heat wave came from the other end of the tunnel, followed by muffled sounds of collision. They had already encountered each other!

The battle was extremely intense. The surging wind and waves could actually be felt by Lin Yan.

Some time passed.

Suddenly, an invisible aura appeared.

It was like a rabbit facing a vicious wolf or a fox facing a ferocious tiger. Lin Yan subconsciously shuddered and stood up in fear, maintaining a vigilant posture.

The withered trio beside him was even paler.

To put it bluntly, the so-called aura was the influence of each other’s strength.

However, the aura this time didn’t seem to be something a human could emit. It contained endless killing intent and malice. From such a distance, it actually gave Lin Yan the illusion that he was being stared at by a pair of vicious eyes.

Liu Lanqing and Wu Qinglei’s angry shouts sounded one after another.

Lin Yan’s eyes darkened. No way. How could such a lineup not win?

He turned to look at the three of them. “Let’s go!”

After saying that, he ran straight to the other end of the tunnel without looking back.

“My lord…”

Hong Xi and the other two were not stupid. The effects of the antidote had yet to wear off, so they immediately followed Lin Yan out in the opposite direction.

At the same time, in a natural underground valley, a Netherworld River flowed past the center of the valley. It was cold and quiet.

There were huge pits everywhere on the ground, and the black oil in them had all dried up.

The Giant Spirit Soldiers were all dead.

However, Liu Lanqing, Wu Qinglei, and Qin Xiang looked at a huge jade pupa in front of them with extremely ugly expressions.

It was five to six meters tall, like a huge cocoon. Its entire body was made of jade. Light flowed inside, and there was a faint heartbeat that gradually strengthened, as if a terrifying monster was growing.

The thin and ordinary young man stood beside the huge jade pupa, still wearing the golden-framed glasses.

However, he was in a very bad state. His back was hunched, and the clothes in front of his chest had been torn open, revealing the flesh below. There was a large area that had shriveled and dried up like charcoal. There were layers of red patterns that flowed faintly.

However, his expression was still as calm as water. Other than coughing occasionally, his expression remained calm.

“Ahem, as expected of the next Vermillion Bird Envoy appointed by Hou Zun of the Demon Suppression Division. Miss Liu, your force is invasive and persistent. Even among Jade Grade forces, it’s the top existence.”

Liu Lanqing’s expression was solemn. The other party even knew her name and the Vermillion Bird Envoy. He was definitely related to the big shots in the prefecture capital!

She smiled. “You’re so young, but you can rely on the power of a Black-Grade force of Demon Tiger Swallowing the Mountain to last so long under my invasion. You’re quite handsome. What a talent.

“I don’t know why you caused trouble in Ding’an City and did such an unbearable thing?”

“Unbearable thing?” The corners of the young man’s mouth suddenly revealed a hint of mockery. “Is this considered an unbearable thing?

“Compared to what you’ve done, this is nothing.

“What right do a group of executioners who pretend to be peaceful and don’t want to wake up have to judge me?”

Liu Lanqing frowned slightly. She felt that there was something hidden in this young man’s words.

The young man continued, “Besides, who told you that my Force Feature is the Demon Tiger Swallowing the Mountain?”

His body suddenly distorted, as if there was a terrifyingly huge tiger head. It opened its bloody mouth and roared at the sky, breathing in the wind and clouds.

In an instant, his entire body emitted a majestic aura. An immeasurable force surged out of his body and entered the jade pupa near him through his palm.

Liu Lanqing and Wu Qinglei’s expressions changed.

How was that possible!

This force was more than ten times stronger than them!

The Demon Tiger Swallowing the Mountain feature could devour the opponent’s strength and accumulate it before gathering it to unleash a terrifying attack.

However, it was impossible for him to store such a terrifying amount of force!

“Do it!

Liu Lanqing rushed out brazenly. Her palm was vaguely glowing red, distorting the air as she struck out.

However, the young man suddenly raised his other hand and punched out. The force transformed into a tiger head that was as tall as a person. It roared into the sky and spat out force.

Not only Liu Lanqing, but even Wu Qinglei, who was attacking at the same time, was actually forced back by this punch. The force was too heavy!

At this moment, the young man had used up most of his strength. He retracted his hand. “This much should be enough.”

The heartbeat inside the jade pupa increased rapidly. In the next moment, a huge grayish-white arm broke through the jade pupa’s outer shell and stretched out from the jade pupa.

Based on the thickness of this arm, its master was probably at least three meters tall!

The young man coughed twice. As the force dissipated, the red patterns on his chest lit up, as if beautiful red lotuses were blooming and constantly corroding the surroundings.

“As expected, once it erupts, it can’t be suppressed? As expected of a fire-like invasion…”

He coughed twice and was extremely weak. “I don’t have long to live anyway. I’ll let it play with you. I’ve been underground for too long. I’ve almost forgotten what the sun looks like…”

In the next moment, the jade pupa suddenly exploded.

Liu Lanqing’s pupils constricted. “It’s here!”

BOOM!

She raised her jade-like palm and struck out. The red light increased greatly, and endless force erupted, pushing back the gray-white giant that was like a tank!

However, Liu Lanqing’s expression changed slightly. “Old Wu, help me!”

Wu Qinglei immediately caught up and attacked with her, forcing the gray-white giant back!

This giant was grayish-white and jade-colored, but it did not have the warmth of jade. Instead, it was lifeless, making people feel incomparably terrified at a glance. Even the facial features and expressions seemed to have melted.

It seemed to have just been born. It raised its head and roared into the sky. Its voice was as sharp and ear-piercing as a newborn baby. An aura containing endless killing intent spread out, causing Liu Lanqing and Wu Qinglei to have extremely solemn expressions.

“Old Wu! Deal with it with me! Qin Xiang, Xiao Ye, follow that young man! He forcefully unleashed his strength and is already an arrow at the end of its flight. As long as we delay for a while, he will definitely die!”

Qin Xiang and Xiao Ye, who were originally hiding at the back, had a change in expressions. They looked at each other but did not reply..
