Peerless Sovereign

Luo Bai gave a wry smile, then slightly shook his head and said, "He and I have already been separated."    

"Hmm?"    

Su Lie was stunned. "How could that be?"    

Luo Bai threw up his hands, as if trying his best to recall something. After a while, he said, "When we just stepped into this swamp, we encountered a cloud of miasma. Although this miasma isn't very powerful, everyone can resist it. "But speaking of which, there are still quite a few repercussions, causing our fighting strength to fall a bit."    

"However, at this time, an extremely powerful crocodile suddenly rushed out. It was precisely this crocodile, which had the strength of at least the eighth stage of Natal Opening Realm, and scattered all of us."    

It was a beast at the eighth stage of the Natal Opening Realm!    

Magical beasts of this level really weren't something they could resist.    

Just like how they would turn around and flee when encountering a swarm of Devouring Demon Bees, Luo Bai and the others would naturally run away when encountering a demonic beast.    

In the end, they were still separated.    

Feeling slightly sad, Su Lie muttered to himself for a while, then slowly opened his mouth and said: "Since we met, then it can also be considered fate. We can't stay in this swamp any longer, let's turn back quickly. "    

"It's fine."    

Surprisingly, Luo Bai only shook his head slowly and said, "There's no need to turn back. We just need to continue moving forward."    

Su Lie was obviously surprised by Luo Bai's answer. He turned around and looked at him in surprise, saying, "Why? There are so many obstacles ahead, and with only the two of us here, we might not be able to escape unscathed. "    

Luo Bai nodded his head slightly and looked at the sky. Then, he looked at Su Lie as if he was looking at an idiot. He slowly spat out two words. "Miasma."    

In this swamp, after being exposed to the sunlight, the swamp will gradually release poisonous gas!    

This type of poisonous gas was extremely dense. It would reach its peak at noon before slowly dispersing.    

And when there was no miasma at all, that was only possible at night.    

Luo Bai and the others had entered the swamp when the wisp of purple qi was coming from the east, but even so, they were affected by the miasma.    

Therefore, there was no way to get through the current situation!    

With such a dense miasma, it was impossible for anyone to survive if they turned around.    

It was impossible to wait until nightfall to come back!    

Like this, they wasted an entire day. If they wanted to continue on their journey, they might not even make it in time … So... If they continued to move forward, this would be their only chance.    

Su Lie also nodded in deep agreement as he understood this point.    

He retrieved a compass from his Heaven and Earth Pouch. After locating it, he chose a general direction, "It should be here."    

"Then let's go."    

Luo Bai nodded, and after some thought, he took out a dark green leaf from his pocket and said, "This is the poisonous grass from the swamp. Although it isn't very useful, it's still better than nothing."    

After receiving it, Su Lie did not hesitate and directly placed it at the end.    

A refreshing feeling was emitted from his throat, stimulating his brain.    

Although it didn't cause his circulation speed to increase, the refreshing feeling allowed him to clear his mind quite a bit.    

Actually, this swamp was not that big. It was only because after the rain, its power had increased by quite a bit.    

Since they had already determined the direction, Su Lie and the others also followed the road ahead and started moving forward.    

When he released his Spiritual Sense, even his Spiritual Sense had been greatly suppressed!    

It seemed that the unique miasma of this forest was truly terrifying.    

Based on Su Lie and Luo Bai's abilities, they could only barely extend their Spiritual Sense to a distance of twenty meters.    

Such a short period of time was truly impossible to deal with!    

Su Lie took a deep breath and let go of the void as he carefully moved step by step.    

After advancing for around a quarter of an hour, Su Lie gradually came to a stop.    

Looking at his surroundings, Xiao Yan let out a deep sigh.    

In a quarter of an hour, even if they moved extremely slowly, their conservative estimate would be more than three or four thousand meters.    

There was not even a single person at this distance.    

Mo Xinger, the Liu brothers, and Luo Xiaoyu.    

Mo Xinger and Luo Xianyu were a little better off, but if it was the Liu brothers and Su Yan, it would be even more dangerous … This was the direction they were heading in!    

If they didn't encounter anyone, it meant that they were most likely retreating.    

Thinking about the miasma that Luo Bai mentioned earlier, his expression involuntarily revealed a hint of worry.    

Luo Bai laughed when he saw his reaction, then waved his hand and said, "The situation isn't that bad after all. Although the miasma is poisonous, it's enough to kill an ordinary person! However, for Natal Opening Realm realm warriors, it was not that easy. At most I will faint, and my life will not be in danger. "    

"Of course, there are also some demon beasts that can survive in this miasma! The majority of these magical beasts were extremely powerful, so even reaching the Earth Origin Stage level was not impossible. However, there were only a few of these existences in the swamp. "If they were to meet one, the chances of them winning would likely not be much higher than winning the lottery …"    

"Hopefully …"    

Su Lie nodded.    

Luo Bai's gaze suddenly turned cold, the corner of his mouth raised into a dangerous arc, as a slightly obscure and dark expression flashed past. "I think … On the contrary, we, on the other hand, need to worry more. "    

Hearing Luo Bai's seemingly unfathomable words, Su Lie was at a loss for words.    

However, he was not a fool. He immediately reacted after a moment.    

He scanned with his Spiritual Sense at full strength and Qing Hong's sword sheath flew out of his hand and landed in front of him.    

In this land of nature, especially in places like the marshes, where the terrain was harsh and there was no lack of Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, there were very few traces of people.    

"Magical beasts should be the most common thing in this place …" Is there a problem? "    

His eyebrows slightly raised as he spoke slowly.    

Luo Bai didn't say anything. He just nodded slightly with his chin and looked at the part under the water.    

After observing for a while, his face instantly turned pale!    

Then he looked at Su Lie and said, "I think it's better if we run … …"    

"What?"    

Just as Su Lie finished speaking, his pupils violently contracted.    

Under his gaze, two eyes slowly revealed themselves on a large tree not far away.    

He had also unintentionally captured the vicious aura that was being emitted … That kind of strength was definitely far superior to his!    

Although his perception wasn't that accurate due to the fact that it was a demonic beast, it … It was definitely above Cao Yaxing, and it was even far above Cao Yaxing!    

He had experienced Cao Yaxing's terror before.    

If it was scarier than Cao Yaxing, then it would at least be at the seventh level of Natal Opening Realm or higher.    

Alligator acutus.    

This stance was the attacking stance made by the crocodile when it was aiming at its prey!    

There was no sound or movement.    

If it wasn't for the fact that Su Lie and the others had extremely sharp senses, they probably wouldn't have noticed it.    

"This … this should be the crocodile that we just encountered …"    

Luo Bai threw up his hands, gripping his long, grayish-white sword tightly as well. He asked, "Do we fight or run?"    

"Let me try first."    

Su Lie's expression turned cold. He took out a few expensive medicinal pills from his Cosmic Bag and swallowed them. Immediately, he felt a warm feeling in his body, filling it up quite a bit.    

He then formed two hand seals, and two silvery white sword Qis appeared in a flash. They instantly pierced through the oppressive air and struck forward.    

"Sizzle sizzle!"    

The two streaks of sword gleams produced a piercing sound as they struck the crocodile's body at a lightning fast speed!    

However, very quickly, Su Lie's mouth was wide open and his face was filled with disbelief.    

When the sword beam entered the Alligator acutus's body, it instantly caused two streams of blood to splash out.    

However, the crocodile was only sent flying. It immediately jumped out of the water from the intense pain. It did not receive any substantial damage!    

Su Lie had originally thought that if the two rays of sword light had directly struck the crocodile, they would at least be able to cause a large chunk of flesh and blood within the crocodile to become badly mangled!    

"I never thought that I would only be able to create two bloody holes. The difference is quite big …" If it was an adult Alligator acutus, it would be around the strength of Natal Opening Realm level 8! But don't forget, a magical beast's rank is one level higher than a human's, because they have an extremely strong body to protect themselves with. "    

Luo Bai explained, "The physical body of this Alligator acutus should be around the same as the fifth stage of Golden Stone Stage! Furthermore, its true combat power is something that even experts of the ninth stage of the Natal Opening Realm would not dare to easily provoke. "    

An expert of the ninth stage of the Natal Opening Realm, Su Lie was not even confident that he could escape from such a powerful expert!    

Ye Zichen looked at the crocodile in shock. You're still fighting?    

Fight my ass!    

The moment the crocodile was attacked, it immediately surfaced and tumbled a few rounds!    

Subsequently, his pair of beast eyes suddenly turned blood-red as he stared straight at Su Lie.    

"Run!"    

This time, Luo Bai did not hesitate and directly pulled Su Lie away. "Find a way to escape into the dark, at least it has to be dry ground! In this swamp, the strength of Alligator acutus will probably increase by several fold! "    

Although the swamp was thicker than the water, but for magical beasts, this was not a problem.    

When the Alligator acutus saw the two escaping, it immediately dived into the water and started moving crazily under the swamp!    

Su Lie's divine sense could only barely scout out a depth of three meters from the bottom of the tunnel.    

Waiting for him to vaguely sense the location of the Alligator acutus, he was slightly stunned.    

The speed of the Alligator acutus was probably much faster than what he imagined!    

Such a terrifyingly fast speed was probably above his own!    

If we go down at this speed... The situation didn't look good.    

A cold glint appeared in Su Lie's eyes. He suddenly shouted loudly and abruptly pulled out the Qiankun Pen!    

It then smashed down toward the crocodile!
