The fastest update in the summer state of the south is a world that belongs to ordinary people, with more than a dozen secular countries. In these mortal worlds, imperial power is supreme, but there are also some martial artists who break the law, bandits who whistle through the mountains, or some high-ranking officials who hide and do not come out.

  Going north for about three thousand miles, there is a vast marshland of unknown size. The marshland is extremely treacherous with many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts lurking within, but at the same time, it also nurtures numerous rare flowers, exotic plants, and spiritual creatures.

  It is said that in this vast marsh, there exists a divine medicine that can revive the dead and regrow flesh on bare bones. There also exists an immortal grass that allows one to live forever young after consumption. Furthermore, it is rumored that there are spiritual objects that grant enlightenment and ascension to immortality upon ingestion.

  So these secular emperors often sent people into the marsh to seek out elixirs of immortality, and some wandering knights-errant and martial artists also frequently ventured into the marsh for adventure.

  Some of them returned with some spiritual medicine from the outskirts of the swamp, while others died inside. However, none of those who ventured deep into the swamp came back.

  It is said in the world that these people have attained the Tao and ascended to heaven, but more people think they died in Zene.

  Because this vast marsh is shrouded in clouds and fog all year round, and it rains for almost half of the year, Xia Zhou called this marsh Smoke Rain Marsh.

  At this moment, Li Hui and Han Xue were standing in mid-air with their swords drawn above the misty rain.

  As far as the eye can see, the misty rain is boundless and endless. The entire marsh is hidden under a thin layer of fog, like a dream or an illusion. Under the sunlight, some of the fog reflects out colorful hues.

  Li Hui's face changed, and the colorful mist looked beautiful, but it was extremely toxic. The swamp was so vast that there must be monsters lurking within. It seemed that the journey to Purple Wei City wouldn't be peaceful.

  He couldn't help but feel some doubt that the Qi-refining cultivator named Guo Feng was intentionally trying to deceive him. Such a large swamp, it must be extremely perilous inside, and yet a single Qi-refining cultivator could pass through safely, which really made one suspicious.

  In fact, Guo Feng did not take this road from the Xiuzhen realm to the mortal world, but took another safe and fast route. However, that road would have to go around more than a thousand miles to the east, and Guo Feng, whether intentionally or unintentionally, did not tell Li Hui.

  "Xu'er, let's enter the misty rain now! I'm afraid we still have to hurry for a few more li before we can reach that Ziwei City." Li Hui said to Han Xue beside him.

  Han Xue nodded, and the two urged their feet. The flying sword transformed into a purple and white light, flying towards the depths of the misty rain.

  In a few flashes, the figures of the two people had already disappeared into the faint mist, without a trace.

  ……

  After several hours, the two had already gone deep into this smoky and rainy hundreds of miles road. The scenery in this vast marsh was beautiful and varied. Along the way, they occasionally encountered some ordinary birds of prey flying past them, and a few fierce birds that were not awake attacked the two. As a result, Li Hui naturally killed them with one sword and fell into the marsh.

  The two gradually relaxed and hurried along the road, pointing at the scenery along the way.

  "Li Hui, look! What a beautiful lake!" Han Xue exclaimed to Li Hui, pointing at the vast and misty huge lake in front of them.

  The lake surface is circular and of unknown size, right in front of the direction the two are heading.

  The lake's surface is calm, with a gentle breeze blowing over it. The ripples on the water sparkle and undulate. Looking into the distance, the colors deepen one by one, gradually turning into a deep blue-green. The green trees surround the lake, while light clouds drift lazily across the sky, reflected in the water, creating a harmonious fusion of heaven and earth, with beauty that's hard to take in.

  Li Hui's heart moved, and he smiled at the beauty beside him: "Xue Er, you've always wanted to drift on the water, haven't you? Let's drift on this lake!"

  "Great! Great!" Han Xue cheered like a little kid.

  Li Hui smiled and the two of them raised their swords, with the light from the blades falling towards the lake.

  Han Xue happily ran along the grass by the lake, but suddenly stopped when she reached the lake and looked back at Li Hui with a puzzled expression, muttering: "There's no boat!"

  Li Hui smiled mysteriously, waved his hand forward, and in the flash of white light, a small boat about ten feet long was already floating on the lake surface. It was precisely the flying treasure Broken Wind Dart obtained from Xiao Shaojun.

  Han Xue couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. This broken wind arrow was indeed shaped like a boat, but it was normally used for flying in the sky, and she never thought that today it would actually be useful on water.

  Two people stepped onto the broken wind arrow and sat down in the middle, Li Hui divided out a small amount of spiritual power to urge on the broken wind arrow, which slowly moved forward on the water surface.

  The mountains are like ink, the green water is like jade, and the beauty is like a gem. Li Hui gazed at Han Xue sitting on the boat's edge, playing with the water, her beautiful long hair blown by the gentle breeze, and he couldn't help but be enchanted.

  The boat sailed slowly across the lake, and after half an hour, the front was still a vast expanse of water.

  The two of them were still in high spirits and started splashing water at each other on the boat.

  And tens of feet below the surface of the lake, a dark and rough rock formation lay on the lake bed, resembling a giant boulder. Just as the Breaking Wind Arrow passed over the water above it, the rock suddenly moved, revealing a pair of eyes gleaming with cold light at the triangular tip of the stone.

  The entire "rock" suddenly moved, its tail swished back and forth, revealing four thick claws as thick as tree trunks. Its huge mouth opened, revealing two rows of sharp teeth interlocking up and down - this was not a rock, but a ferocious aquatic monster, the Iron Rock Crocodile.

  The iron rock crocodile quietly followed the broken wind arrow at the bottom of the water, slowly approaching step by step, without splashing a single drop of water.

  On the Broken Wind Arrow, Li Hui and Han Xue had no idea about the approaching danger, still frolicking around.

  "Whoa...... Boom!"

  A huge wave suddenly surged up on the lake surface, followed by a loud crash, and the bow of the boat was overturned in mid-air, tilting and falling down.

  "Ah!"

  Han Xue was playing with water at the side of the boat, when suddenly the bow of the boat tilted violently, and before she could react, she let out a cry of surprise and fell into the water.

  "Ahh!"

  In the midst of the roar, a monster with an iron-black body and a huge triangular sharp head poked its head out of the water, opening its bloody big mouth to bite down on Han Xue.

  In the huge beast's mouth, two rows of sharp white teeth stood like knives, and a pair of small eyes shone with greedy and ferocious light.

  "Whoosh!"

  Just as the beast was about to bite Han Xue, a black shadow flashed by, scooped her up at the waist and quickly dodged to the side, flying upwards at an angle.

  Li Hui stepped on the purple electric sword and stood in the high air, embracing Han Xue, coldly looking at the monster that rushed out of the lake below.

  Below, the body of that iron-rock alligator had completely emerged from the water's surface, from head to tail it was several zhang long, and on its broad back, it looked like black iron castings, rough and uneven like old tree bark.

  "Boom!"

  The black iron alligator missed a hit, flipped its waist in mid-air and fell heavily into the water again, stirring up waves several meters high, disappearing into the water, and after a while, the lake surface returned to calm.

  At this time, Po Feng had been put into a storage bag by Li Hui, but Han Xue was still being held in Li Hui's arms.

  "Still not letting me down!" Han Xue's face turned red as she whispered.

  Li Hui finally came to his senses, his gaze withdrawing from the lake's surface as he looked at the beauty in his arms. At this moment, Han Xue's face was as delicate as a peach blossom, filled with countless charms, and being gazed at by Li Hui made her feel even more shy.

  Li Hui had one hand on Han Xue's shoulder and the other in the crook of his leg, although there was a layer of clothing between them, he could still feel her soft body, and the scent of the girl's fragrance wafted into his nostrils, causing his heart to flutter, and a hot rush quickly rose from his abdomen to his brain.

  With great effort, Li Hui suppressed the impulse in his heart, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and reluctantly put down Han Xue. His face still looked somewhat dazed as he stared at the beauty's face.

  Han Xue found Li Hui's abnormality, smiled slightly with some shyness, and said: "Stupid, keep watching! That monster will come up again soon!"

  Li Hui only then remembered that there was still a monster lurking below, and somewhat awkwardly withdrew his gaze, extending his spiritual sense to investigate the lake water below.

  Han Xue also drew out Qingfeng Sword, her face turned cold, and the Ling Stone probed out to find the trail of the demon beast that had just attacked her.

  Just that moment, Li Hui had already judged that it should be a fourth-level demon beast Iron Rock Crocodile, with the strength of about late foundation building.

  Below the Golden Elixir stage, the classification of demonic beasts is not that detailed. All demonic beasts at the Foundation Establishment stage are collectively referred to as fourth-grade demonic beasts. This Iron Rock Crocodile's aura has reached the strength of a human cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and its actual combat power might be even stronger than that.

  Suddenly, Li Hui's eyebrows twitched, and his spiritual sense had already found the location of that Iron Rock Crocodile. This Iron Rock Crocodile was indeed cunning, and at this moment, it had already circled around from underwater to behind the two people, preparing to pounce out of the water.

  "Xue Er, behind you!" Li Hui transmitted his voice.

  Han Xue had already sensed the existence of the iron rock crocodile through her spiritual awareness, and after hearing Li Hui's transmission, she nodded slightly, with the Clear Frost Sword glowing brightly as she prepared herself.

  "Wow!"

  The lake's surface erupted with a loud crash as the iron-rock alligator burst out of the water, creating a wave of splashes, and charged towards the two from behind.

  Li Hui and Han Xue exchanged a glance, and both turned around at the same time.

  "Whoosh!"

  Han Xue's Qingfeng Sword flew out of her hand and transformed into a cold light that shot towards the iron rock alligator.

  "Ah!"

  Li Hui held a purple electric sword and flew directly towards the iron rock crocodile.

  Iron Rock Crocodile, as a fourth-level demon beast, can also fly in the air, but its speed is greatly discounted compared to being in water, unable to launch a sneak attack, and instead charges over with a fierce cry, ready to engage in a fierce battle.

  "Ding!"

  The Qingfeng sword stabbed into the triangular sharp head of the Iron Rock Crocodile, but it didn't hurt at all, and made a sound like gold and iron clashing.

  Tie Yan crocodile shook its head and Qingfeng sword flew to one side.

  "Ding ding ding!"

  Li Hui had already killed his way over, and the Purple Lightning Sword continuously stabbed out, but just like Han Xue, he was unable to harm the Iron Rock Crocodile in the slightest.

  "Ah!"

  The iron-rock alligator was enraged, and this human actually chose to fight him at close range. The huge alligator tail swung with a sharp whistling sound towards Li Hui.

  Li Hui dodged to one side and avoided this strike.

  At this time, Han Xue's Qingfeng Sword attacked again. Although it couldn't break through the Iron Rock Crocodile's defense, the crocodile didn't dare to let the flying sword stab randomly on its body either. It swung its two claws to block the Qingfeng Sword.

  Li Hui turned around and charged forward with the Purple Electric Sword in hand, agilely dodging around Tie Yan's surroundings while continuously attacking.

  Two men, one close and one far, coordinated with each other, for a time this iron rock crocodile felt threatened everywhere, and could only rely on its thick skin to withstand the attack.

  After a stalemate for a moment, Tie Yan crocodile gradually found that the human in front of him, who was holding a sword and attacking at close range, had an unusually agile body technique, and he couldn't even touch his edge. The human who flew the sword from a distance, on the other hand, was far inferior to this close-range human in terms of both the agility and power of the flying sword.

  Persimmons should be picked when they're soft to the touch. This principle seems to be understood by this intelligent and not stupid alligator as well.

  "Roar!"

  Tieyan crocodile let out a loud roar, ignoring Li Hui's attack and flying forward directly towards Han Xue.
