When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

"Jiang Feng!"

The three of them stopped abruptly the moment they rushed into the open space.

The place is a complete mess!

The broken, strange tree, the charred blood mist, and the man lying unconscious in the muddy water with a severed arm, covered in blood.

"This is……"

"Jin Muyang?!"

When Xiao Xingye saw that face clearly, his voice changed.

"Where is the person who hurt him?"

Ling Yu held the heavy sword, his sharp gaze sweeping across his surroundings.

"They ran away, it was Liu Guanyi."

Jiang Feng said succinctly.

"Save lives first."

Li Changsheng had already squatted down, placing his fingers on Jin Muyang's wrist to check his pulse, his brows gradually furrowing: "Too much blood loss, his qi and blood are frighteningly depleted, and the meridians at the severed arm are also rotten beyond recognition..."

"I'll survive, but forget about losing this arm."

He took out a small jade bottle from his pocket, poured out a pearly white pill, pried open Jin Muyang's mouth and stuffed it in, then tore off a strip of cloth and quickly re-treated the wound on the severed arm.

After taking the pill, Jin Muyang's complexion finally showed a visibly warming effect.

"Healing pills can only keep him alive; we need to get him out of the depths of the swamp as soon as possible."

Li Changsheng stood up and patted the mud off his hands.

"Wait for him to wake up."

Jiang Feng stared at Jin Muyang's face, his voice deep, "I have something to ask him."

……

Half an hour later.

"Cough...cough cough..."

Jin Muyang's eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.

His vision cleared, and what came into view was the face of the person squatting in front of him.

River breeze.

Memories of the time before I fell into a coma suddenly flooded my mind.

A blood-red giant hand, a desperate wait for death, and a golden, flaming fist descending from the sky...

Jiang Feng saved him!

Jin Muyang stared blankly at Jiang Feng, his eyes suddenly welling up with tears.

Then, as if remembering something terrible, he shuddered violently and struggled to get up, but the excruciating pain from his severed arm made him groan and fall back down.

"Jiang Feng!"

Jin Muyang's voice was hoarse and barely audible, his eyes churning with regret, fear, and a guilt that threatened to crush him. "Jiang Feng! I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry!"

Jiang Feng's heart sank.

"Your sister!"

Jin Muyang gripped his sleeve tightly, speaking each word as if using the last of his strength, "Your sister Shen Weilan, she..."

"They've been arrested!"

"boom!"

It was as if a thunderbolt had struck Jiang Feng's mind, and his face turned deathly pale in an instant.

My sister... she's been kidnapped?!

Who did this?!

……

Blackwater Swamp, deep within.

"Cough...cough cough..."

Yu Wan'er's lips were bluish-purple, and she lay limply in Lin Xing's arms, her breath carrying a hot, sweet smell.

Lin Xing carried her, wading through the muddy water, his face ashen.

"Changfeng, to the left!"

"good!"

Yan Changfeng's fingers flew, and the almost transparent threads at his fingertips tightened.

Before him, a tiger-shaped mechanical puppet suddenly shifted sideways, its two front claws smashing the head of a swamp python that pounced on it. Then, with a spin, its tail whip lashed out, slicing three mosquito beasts in half at the waist.

Even so, the situation of the three was still visibly deteriorating.

The miasma is getting thicker and thicker.

Yu Wan'er's injuries were getting worse.

"We can't go any further. Retreat the way we came."

Lin Xing made a decisive decision, his voice hoarse, "Changfeng, the mechanical beasts will hold the rear, I'll clear the way!"

Before he could finish speaking...

"hiss!!!"

A neighing sound slowly rose from the depths of the thick fog ahead.

The fog parted silently.

A head the size of a millstone emerged from the fog.

Its dark green scales gleamed with a cold, metallic light, and its vertical pupils were a murky amber color. With each flick of its tongue, a stench filled the air.

Its body swam in the muddy water, and the part that was above the water was as thick as a bucket, with no end in sight.

"Fifth tier!"

"Fifth-tier, five-star... Devouring Abyss Python!"

Lin Xing's body froze on the spot.

The Devouring Serpent's vertical pupils locked onto them, and its massive body slowly arched.

It’s over.

Only those two words remained in Lin Xing's mind.

He instinctively hugged Wan'er tighter, turned around, and tried to shield her from the fatal blow with his back.

Just now.

"boom!!!"

Suddenly, a burst of fire shot into the sky at the end of the swamp!

Golden-red flames burned through the thick miasma, like a small sun exploding deep in the swamp.

Immediately afterwards, one booming sound after another came from afar, incredibly fast!

"Bang!"

A toad blocking the way was smashed into pieces.

"Bang!"

A banyan tree with a ghostly face was punched through, roots and all, and burst into flames with a mournful cry.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Wherever the firelight passed, whether it was a third-tier or fourth-tier beast, any strange beast that appeared in front of it exploded the moment it made contact!

A figure, wreathed in raging flames, cut through most of the swamp at an almost insane speed!

Startled by the commotion, the abyss python abruptly turned its head.

It saw a human whose body was engulfed in golden flames.

"roar!!"

Sensing the provocation, the Devouring Python opened its blood-red maw and roared as it lunged down to bite!

The human didn't dodge.

He didn't even assume a defensive stance; he simply faced that enormous mouth that could swallow a cow whole and punched it right in!

"Die!!!"

"Boom!"

Golden flames pierced through the python's mouth, and the entire millstone-sized head was dented by this punch!

The Devouring Python lashed out in pain, its tail whip sweeping across with immense force. The figure, however, neither dodged nor evaded, letting the tail whip strike its body. Using the force, it closed in, grabbing the python's head with both hands and delivering a second, third, and fourth punch!

Punch after punch, without any moves or techniques.

Just smash it.

Smash it like crazy!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Lin Xing and the other two stared in disbelief at the scene.

The fifth-tier, five-star swamp overlord was ridden on the head of a young boy, who punched its head repeatedly into the mud.

Dark green scales flew off, foul-smelling python blood splattered everywhere, and the skull shattered inch by inch.

After a dozen or so punches, the python's head was no longer recognizable.

The massive body of the Devouring Python twitched a few times before crashing into the mud and water, falling completely silent.

The figure slowly stood up from the python's corpse, the golden flames on his fist gradually dying down, revealing an expressionless face.

"Jiang...Jiang Feng?"

Lin Xing lost his voice.

Jiang Feng didn't even glance at them and continued walking forward.

At this moment, only one voice kept echoing in Jiang Feng's mind.

"We...we formed a team to hunt monsters in the swamp...including your sister Shen Weilan, Zhan Tiandao, and Song Haoze."

"Shan Yan...it was Shan Yan who betrayed us...he's a member of a cult!"

"He attacked while we were fighting the beasts... Zhan Tiandao was killed on the spot... killed on the spot..."

At this point, Jin Muyang burst into tears like a child.

"Song Haoze was seriously injured and thrown into the depths of the swamp; his fate is unknown."

"I rushed at him and fought him to the death, but he... he ripped off my arm."

"The last thing I saw before I fainted from the pain... was your sister, Shen Weilan, standing in front of him."

"When I woke up, they were all gone... Shan Yan was gone, and Shen Weilan was gone too."

"Jiang Feng, Shan Yan said before he left that he was going to activate the Blood Demon Altar, so Shen Weilan must have been captured..."

"boom!!!"

Something exploded in Jiang Feng's mind.

Li Changsheng stopped him, saying that the situation deep in the swamp was unclear, and Liu Guanyi had just escaped in to report the news. Rushing in rashly could easily lead to an ambush.

He didn't hear a single word.

All he knew was that his sister was in the hands of a cult madman, and that madman wanted to use her as a human sacrifice altar!

Whoever blocks the way dies.

A strange beast blocked the way; the strange beast died.

"Hey! Jiang Feng!"

Suddenly, Lin Xing's shout came from behind.

Jiang Feng's steps did not falter at all.

What does it matter to him what happens to Lin Xing and the other two?

Every moment he delays, Wei Lan becomes more dangerous.

Just as the figure enveloped in flames was about to plunge back into the thick fog.

"Jiang Feng!!"

Lin Xing panicked and shouted at the top of his lungs, "I think I saw your sister earlier!!"

"boom!"

Jiang Feng's footsteps were firmly planted in the mud.

The miasma within a radius of ten feet was shaken back by the sudden surge of true energy emanating from his body.

"Where?!"

"About an hour ago, when we were retreating..."

"I saw a girl in the fog, covered in blood, badly injured, stumbling and running."

"At the time, I thought I was seeing things, but now that I think about it, she must be your sister!"

"She seemed to be hiding from someone, afraid of causing us trouble, so she deliberately avoided our direction and ran away in another direction."

Which direction did she escape to?

Jiang Feng asked, his breathing rapid.

A look of hesitation appeared on Lin Xing's face.

"She...she escaped into the [Poisonous Abyss of Soul Burial]."

The Poisonous Abyss of Burial Souls.

Blackwater Swamp: A truly forbidden place!

The entire secret realm is marked as a dead zone on the map!

Legend has it that this place is a burial pit from an ancient battlefield!

Anyone who steps in will die.

At that moment, Jiang Feng only glanced in that direction before turning his body away.

"Jiang Feng! That's the Burial Abyss of Poisonous Souls!"

"Are you crazy?! Going in alone is suicide!"
