The Fire Flood Dragon, now in a rage, moved with astonishing speed, quickly closing in on a trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Lie felt the Fire Flood Dragon approaching, and although he was terrified, as a Sixth Level Martial Artist, he was no pushover like those in the Blood Wolf Hunting Corps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, he let out a furious roar, a blood-red lotus bloomed above his head, sword momentum soared to the sky, and the long saber in his hand was unsheathed in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such powerful Qi and Blood... that’s the Qi Blood Flower of a Sixth Level Martial Artist!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s sword momentum. The Fire Flood Dragon is just a Sixth Level Fierce Beast; we still have a fighting chance.\" With renewed confidence, many drew their weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Channeling the full force of sword momentum and Qi Blood Flower, a massive strike landed on the Fire Flood Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment the saber collided with the Fire Flood Dragon, Zhou Lie’s expression changed dramatically. It felt like he had struck a massive mountain made of metal, and the blade couldn’t penetrate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The powerful recoil cracked Zhou Lie’s grip, his right arm unable to withstand the tremendous force, emitting a sound of frail bones fracturing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more despairing to Zhou Lie was that his all-out strike only left a shallow mark on the dragon’s scales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a monster, it’s just a monster, run!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Lie’s heart trembled violently; he finally realized this Fire Flood Dragon was a creature beyond their hunting capabilities. He turned to flee, but although his strike hadn’t wounded the dragon, it incited its fury further, and it lunged with bared fangs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, Leader, save me, save...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splurt, sharp dragon teeth pierced flesh and bone, and a Sixth Level Martial Artist perished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Sixth Level Martial Artist died just like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Killed in an instant, the moment they met?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was filled with the sound of gasps, faces masked in terror. In that instant, everyone recalled Su Mu’s stern warning in their ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was all too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enraged Fire Flood Dragon was now bloodshot with fury; it hadn’t been harmed in so long. All must die!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, everyone felt the temperature around them soaring; the Spiritual Qi flowed towards the Fire Flood Dragon, and suddenly, a raging Sea of Fire rose behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s channeling the Power of Heaven and Earth... this creature has one foot into the Grandmaster realm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one-eyed burly man watched in disbelief as his comrades perished brutally before him, yet he had no thought of vengeance, only wanting to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screams and desperate cries of despair composed the melody of slaughter, a feast of carnage began, flames engulfed everything, and finally, all movement ceased. The marshland was a river of blood, silently flowing, staining the periphery of the swamp red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsewhere, Su Mu arrived at the Crescent Ice Lake, walking around the perimeter of the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right, it’s at the bottom of the lake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water was bone-chilling, so much so that even a Sixth Level Martial Artist wouldn’t dare easily try to enter Crescent Ice Lake, but Su Mu confidently leaped into the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Refreshing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The icy lake water brimmed with incredible coldness; as it entered Su Mu’s body, the thick Qi and Blood within him immediately dispersed it, turning it into wisps of white smoke that exited his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Su Mu was surprised; he had intended to employ the Fixed Star Body Refining Technique, but it seemed unnecessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the guidance of the Golden Essence Qi, Su Mu was amazed to discover a massive cave at the bottom of the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s in there, let’s take a look!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep within the cave, Su Mu sprang forth from the icy lake water and found that the cave at the bottom of the lake had a hidden grotto with natural features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center of the massive grotto was a giant Fierce Beast Egg, intertwined with red and blue, nearly half as tall as a person. The fox egg Su Mu obtained earlier was insignificant by comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This enormous Fierce Beast Egg emitted terrifying waves of Qi and Blood; even though it was unhatched, it already surpassed many Sixth Level Martial Artists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the striking Fierce Beast Egg, a mountain of weapons, Spirit Stones, various gems, and rare metals glistened. He noticed signs of these items being recently moved, with some weapons still stained with fresh blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surveying the scene, Su Mu formed a vague guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed he had found the Fire Flood Dragon’s lair, a Flood Dragon’s Nest.\u003C\u002Fp>",873,"2026-06-03T05:33:05.935Z","2026-06-03T05:33:10.102Z",1,"novelbin.me","3b42bfab5139269dc63c8f24ed007fefc1208f33a6d3a03a3db1fb280e1f8c83","high-martial-world-system-arrives-30-years-late-chapter-218","high-martial-world-system-arrives-30-years-late-chapter-216",547,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhigh-martial-world-system-arrives-30-years-late-cover.jpg"]
