Zhou Yuan suddenly saw a bush in front of him.
He narrowed his eyes, the bushes were a little different from usual.
He picked up rocks around and threw them into the bushes.
Click!
Suddenly the bushes shook, and a huge foot trap appeared and hit the rock.
Zhou Yuan only smiled when he saw this. Even though the trap they set was a bit hard to detect, but he could see them with night vision.
He proceeded to search for the whereabouts of their hideout.
As far as he could remember, their hiding place was behind a waterfall, and maybe some distance from here.
So he moved faster. This time he ran on tree branches to avoid the traps.
......
After 10 minutes, Zhou Yuan suddenly stopped.
He narrowed his eyes as he sensed some aura approaching him.
He descended to the ground and with a calm expression, he turned around.
5 masked men are surrounding him.
"Surprise? Are you guys going to attack me?" Zhou Yuan smiled playfully.
They didn't answer, and one of them just walked over to Zhou Yuan quietly.
"Our leader wants to meet you." The masked man said lightly.
"Want to see me?" Zhou Yuan raised one of his eyebrows.
He was confused. This service should only be received by Xiao Chen, but why him too?
"She only said that there would be a young man coming to this forest during the night. The only person coming would be you." The masked man said.
Hearing this, Zhou Yuan became even more confused. He couldn't possibly be the person of the prophecy.
According to the plot, it should be Xiao Chen..
However, the plot changes a lot, and maybe things like this could happen.
After all, this is a good thing.
"Show me the way." Zhou Yuan said.
"Follow us." The masked man said.
Zhou Yuan followed behind the masked man and headed towards the hideout.
.........
After nearly 15 minutes, he arrived in front of a waterfall near a beautiful river.
This place just looks like an ordinary lake and waterfall. But who would have thought that behind that waterfall was the Mortal Blade Sect's hideout?
This time he actually came here, and asked for answers.
..........
Zhou Yuan and the few masked men entered the hideout.
The first thing he saw was a dark cave entrance. But the more he walked, the more torches were set up along the way.
And a few minutes later, he arrived at the hideout. It is similar to a normal cave, but bigger.
And in front of him were 4 more masked people who were looking at him.
So, there are 9 masked people in this place. Not including their leader.
Zhou Yuan knew the reason why they were wearing masks, it was to hide the burn marks on their faces after that incident.
......
Zhou Yuan's gaze fell on an old woman walking towards him with a cane.
But he frowned when he saw the woman's confused expression.
"You, not the person I meant." The woman pointed at Zhou Yuan and said.
Hearing this, the 9 masked people immediately became alert, and looked at Zhou Yuan sharply.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan also looked coldly at the old woman. Her indifferent words irritated him a little.
He crossed his arms and looked at the old woman arrogantly, "I'm here to seek answers, and I don't care whether I'm the person you mean or not."
Zhou Yuan's words only angered the 9 masked men.
"Hey brat, watch your word from our leader!"
"It's like you've never been burned alive!"
That leader was the person they respected the most, and they wouldn't allow someone to act arrogantly.
But Zhou Yuan's expression still didn't change, he wasn't afraid of these people at all.
Meanwhile, the old woman looked coldly at Zhou Yuan.
"Since you're not the person I meant, then you can't leave here. Blame it on your arrogance." The old woman said.
After that, the 9 masked men gripped their weapons tighter, and looked at Zhou Yuan like prey.
"Oh, so you want to use violence, huh? Fine then." Zhou Yuan said coldly as his aura became stronger.
He wasn't going to hold back, the old woman's words had completely angered him. The old woman looked at him as if he was nothing, and as if she saw him as a weakling who she could kill at any moment.
"All of you, he has found out where we are hiding. Kill him." The old woman ordered.
"Understood." The 9 people said in unison.
They became alert, and prepared their swords.
One of them suddenly dashed towards Zhou Yuan.
"I'm sorry, young man." The masked man said as he pointed his sword at Zhou Yuan.
But Zhou Yuan only looked at him coldly.
Slash!
The masked people were shocked when they saw the scene in front of them.
It was not their friends who managed to attack Zhou Yuan. Instead it was Zhou Yuan who sliced the masked man's body in half with a sword that came from out of nowhere.
The old woman was also shocked and looked at this scene in disbelief.
But Zhou Yuan's expression was merciless, he really didn't like it when someone belittled him.
"Fu Su.... Did he die? Just one hit?" One of the masked men said with a trembling tone.
"T-this... He's no ordinary brat, we shouldn't underestimate him." One other said earnestly.
They didn't even have time to express their surprise when Zhou Yuan suddenly moved again.
He suddenly appeared in front of one of the masked men who was holding a sword.
And he slashed his sword at the masked man.
Clank!
Luckily the masked man was able to parry Zhou Yuan's attack.
But his expression became serious. Zhou Yuan's slash was extremely heavy, as if he had just endured something tens of tons in weight.
But Zhou Yuan didn't stop, he attacked again.
Clank!
Clank!
Clank!
Zhou Yuan continued to attack, while the man looked overwhelmed.
"Let's help him!" One of the masked men shouted.
Clank!
But it was too late, Zhou Yuan's one slash made the masked man's sword snap.
Zhou Yuan saw this as a golden opportunity.
Stab!
He stabbed the masked man in the heart, and it didn't stop there.
Slash!
He slashed upwards, splitting the man's body in half.
Blood spurted out, and the fire-breathing sword was covered in blood.
And once again, everyone was shocked by this scene.
"Don't underestimate him, let's attack together!"
"Come on!"
Clanks!
Clanks!
Clanks!
Clanks!
Clanks!
Clanks!
The sound of clashing blades was deafening. Zhou Yuan fought the 7 masked men alone.
But he didn't panic. His cultivation base was far above these people. The average of them is just a Qi foundation.
Clank!
Clank!
Zhou Yuan suddenly saw another opportunity, and immediately executed it.
Slash!
One masked man's head was detached from his body.
Stab!
Slash!
Another masked man's heart was pierced with the fire-breathing sword.
The fight was very fierce.
Slash!
Slash!
Clank!
Clank!
......
The old woman held the back of her head, as if her expression couldn't believe what was in front of her.
9 strong people who managed to survive the incident 20 years ago.... Now there are only 3 people left.
Zhou Yuan slaughtered them mercilessly, every slash of his sword indicating his unstoppable killing intent.
One could even see that the 3 people were extremely exhausted and overwhelmed, while Zhou Yuan still looked fit, and showed no signs of tiredness.
If this continued, the remaining three people would die.
She rushed towards Zhou Yuan.
"Stop, please stop. I will listen to what you want, so please stop killing them." The old woman said pleadingly.
Hearing this, Zhou Yuan, who was about to chop off the masked man's head, turned around to look at the old lady.
"Don't just listen, but fulfill my request." Zhou Yuan said.
"Fine, I will do it, so please stop." The woman nodded earnestly.
Bang!
Zhou Yuan kicked the head of the masked man in front of him. Then walked over to the old woman.
"You see, old bastard. Your arrogance crushed you. Now, the people of Mortal Blade Sect are left with only 4 people including you. And you don't know whether I will destroy you or not." Zhou Yuan said coldly.
"I know that, please, please let them go. I will fulfill whatever your request is." The old woman begged earnestly.
Hearing this, Zhou Yuan smiled disdainfully and crossed his arms.
The old woman was very arrogant before, and now. She begged him to survive.
"It's about Ji Luoxue."
