Youth Song: Leijiabao Thunder Emperor

The two continued forward and soon discovered that fog was rising ahead. The once bright sunshine seemed to be swallowed up, and it grew darker and darker.

The laughter of ghosts echoed endlessly through the thick fog.

"The Mu Family Ghost Formation. This method might work against others, but you've miscalculated when it comes to me."

As Lei Dong spoke, he pointed two fingers to the sky, and with a loud crack, the darkness vanished.

As Lei Dong pointed his finger forward, several bolts of lightning struck into the thick fog.

The thick fog was instantly dispersed, and the Mu family assassins were logged off before they could even scream.

After breaking the ghost formation, Lei Dong's face also showed a bit of solemnity.

"Be careful, what we're about to face is the Dark River's insidious methods. Be careful not to get poisoned."

"Walk."

Li Hanyi nodded, swallowed one of the pills Hua Jin had given her, put on her face mask, and continued on her way.

However, just as the two were preparing to continue, the thick fog rolled in again.

"Come on. Can't you try something different?"

Lei Dong then unleashed a slash. Lei She broke through the mist, but to his surprise, the person lurking in the shadows dodged his attack.

The Mu family's carefree expert, hidden in the shadows, twitched at the corner of his mouth upon hearing Lei Dong's sarcastic remark.

I'd like to act tonight, but could you wait until tonight to make your move?

However, he knew he was no match for Lei Dong and Li Hanyi, so he didn't show himself at all, dodged a knife, and ran away.

"Since you're here, why not stay?"

Li Hanyi's experience in the martial arts world and her keen senses are still better than Lei Dong's.

They spotted the fleeing enemy first and charged straight at them.

However, to her surprise, another person suddenly rushed out from where the first person had been hiding and attacked her from behind.

She hadn't sensed anyone there, so the sudden appearance of someone was quite unexpected.

However, Li Hanyi reacted quickly. With a backhand strike, she shattered the man into pieces. Only then did she realize that it was a puppet.

The next second, the threads connecting the puppet slashed towards her.

Li Hanyi drew her sword and used Iron Horse and Ice River to block the attack. However, to some surprise, Iron Horse and Ice River failed to cut the silk threads.

"Good heavens, this is much stronger than Tang Lian's knife threads."

Lei Dong calmly offered his thoughts.

"There's definitely some skill involved. But it's not enough."

As Li Hanyi spoke, she unleashed her sword energy. Instantly, the silk threads were severed.

The assassin who had successfully ambushed Li Hanyi was too late to escape.

Li Hanyi transformed into a bolt of lightning and pierced his chest with a single sword strike.

It was an evolved version of a sudden clap of thunder.

Previously, this move only imitated the penetrating power of Lei Meng's Killing Divine Finger, and also had some paralyzing effects.

After being improved by Lei Dong, it now incorporates the speed of lightning, making its attacks even more rapid.

Lei Dong found it easy to use, and Li Hanyi was extremely satisfied.

"Tsk tsk, the methods of the underground river are really hard to guard against."

Such a master is willing to remain unknown; it seems I underestimated Dark River.

Lei Dong glanced at the dead body and couldn't help but sigh.

"The Dark River has been passed down for many years, and no one knows how many masters are hidden in the shadows. They must still have some trump cards up their sleeves."

After this incident, Li Hanyi stopped acting recklessly and became more cautious.

"Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back."

So what if he has a trump card? I don't believe he can hide a powerful expert in the Divine Realm.

Even if he exists, I will bury him.

Lei Dong continued up the mountain. He hadn't gone far when he was stopped by another group of people.

The leader looked the two over and spoke.

"So who dared to trespass into our Dark River? It turns out to be the Snow Moon Sword Immortal and the newly risen young master of the Lei family. No wonder they couldn't stop him."

"Since you managed to get this far, it seems that guy who only knew how to ambush is dead."

"Sigh, why do villains always seem to send their enemies off one by one?"

Shouldn't you guys be playing in a raid?

Judging from your skills, you're quite an expert. What's your name?

"Thank you, Xie family?"

"A true member of the Xie family."

You haven't left the Dark River yet. It seems I underestimated your intelligence.

You guys are completely brainless. Get started.

Lei Dong looked at Xie Buxie speechlessly, then drew his long sword.

"It's Seven-Knife Uncle's knife. So you really did kill Seven-Knife Uncle. But my knife is stronger than his."

"Thank you" saw a fierce glint in Lei's eyes as he drew his Dragon Fang Blade as well.

The people behind him also drew their swords.

Seeing their eagerness to avenge Xie Qidao, Lei Dong sneered.

"Heh, I knew you shouldn't even exist."

As soon as Lei Dong finished speaking, he swung his sword, and a lightning bolt swept out, heading straight for the Xie family members.

Surprisingly, those people all used the same sword technique simultaneously. In the end, the sword energy converged, forming a colossal blade that reached the heavens.

With a single strike, the lightning serpent was actually severed, forcing Lei Dong back.

"Wow, a forty-meter-long sword. Interesting."

As Lei Dong spoke, his longsword hummed, and lightning flashed across its blade.

The next second, a blade of energy more than three times thicker than before slashed towards the Xie family members.

The blade's aura was sharp, emitting a sound like the hissing of a snake.

The Xie family members were immediately terrified and unleashed their full swordsmanship.

Xie Bu Xie, who had absorbed everyone's sword energy, let out a furious roar and swung his broadsword at Lei Dong.

"The eighth cut, make it."

The colossal blade clashed with the lightning serpent's aura. Contrary to their expectations, the blade did not sever the lightning serpent. Instead, it was broken, and the Xie family members were all sent flying backward, spitting blood.

"What a piece of junk."

Lei Dong threw away the long sword that had been broken into three pieces and walked towards Xie Buxie.

"Your strike already possesses the aura of a sword immortal."

If you hadn't borrowed their power, you could have been called a sword immortal with just this one strike.

You should be content with having used this one strike. Rest in peace.

As Lei Dong spoke, he flicked a burst of energy from his fingertip, piercing Xie Bu Xie's heart and allowing him to depart without pain.

"He has good talent, it's a pity he was born in an underground river."

"None of these are reasons why he became a killer, taking other people's lives without asking right or wrong."

"Fighting in the martial arts world happens every day; you can't possibly manage it all."

Seeing the murderous intent in Lei Dong's eyes, Li Hanyi couldn't help but speak up. She sensed that something was wrong with Lei Dong.

"I never thought I could end the conflicts in the martial arts world."

If you're not as skilled as others in martial arts battles, you can't blame anyone else.

Provoking a powerful person and getting into trouble is your own fault for being foolish, and you can't blame anyone else.

This is a social law; everyone must pay the price for their actions.

But what are these guys who take money to do things, indiscriminately wiping out entire families without a second thought? They shouldn't even exist.

After Lei Dong finished speaking, he quickened his pace.

After killing two experts at the Ninth Heaven Realm, and with no one blocking their way, they finally arrived at the hidden place of the Dark River.

Passing through the city gate-like opening, a vast underground world comes into view.

Lei Dong sneered when he saw this miraculous architectural complex.

"What a huge project! They've probably hollowed out the entire mountain. This will make our plans even easier."

"We've been searching for the location of the underground river for so many years, but no one has ever discovered its existence."

I never imagined they would hide here. Who would have thought there would be such a building in these mountains?

Hidden within the mountains, training in the jungle, and guarded by skilled fighters, no wonder they can't be found.
