Chapter 69: Can You Take Me Along?

It is said that Liu Yiming's luck, compared with Xiao Jue and Luo Qingxue, is far worse!

After entering the Immortal Path, he was transported to a hostile place…

He was transported to a swamp!

When Liu Yiming first arrived, it was daytime, and the swamp showed no sign of anything unusual!!

Liu Yiming drifted aimlessly above the swamp.

"This barren land never looks like a place with any opportunity, does it?"

"How can there not even be a decent living creature!"

After wandering the swamp for a long while, Liu Yiming hadn't seen a single ordinary spirit herb or medicinal plant.

Everywhere was pitch‑black swamp, reeking of foul odor, with nowhere even to set foot!

Liu Yiming idly flew above the swamp like this!

But the swamp was so vast that after flying for ages he still couldn't see its edge!

He stopped and looked around; the swamp stretched boundlessly!

"Why did I end up being sent to this cursed place?" Liu Yiming muttered in confusion.

He then applied a speed rune to himself, boosting his flight speed, hoping to leave this cursed place quickly!

However, he was clearly overthinking.

The swamp's area was far larger than he could imagine!

He kept soaring at high speed until night fell, still within the swamp!

"Ahhh, what kind of cursed place is this, and just how big is this swamp?"

"Also, why is there not a single soul? Am I the only lone wolf sent here."

Liu Yiming murmured.

"Fortunately, this swamp seems to have no real danger!"

"In a swamp this huge, even if terrifying beings existed, they wouldn't know where to flee."

Liu Yiming thought this.

Yet, he was clearly overthinking!

Night fell, the bright moon rose high!

The cool moonlight poured down!

Liu Yiming had been flying all day, his body and mind a bit weary.

Just as he was thinking of finding a place to rest…

Suddenly.

He heard a series of rumbling sounds!

"What sound?"

Liu Yiming furrowed his brow slightly, then immediately looked down into the swamp where the sound came from!

The sight made Liu Yiming's scalp tingle!

He saw countless skull monsters emerging from the swamp, a dense swarm!

Each skull monster had blood‑red eyes, looking extremely eerie and terrifying!

"This is… what is it?"

Liu Yiming felt a shiver run through his whole body, turned his head, and scanned the surroundings!

In every direction, dense hordes of skull monsters rose, resembling an endless army of skeletons.

Even more chilling, each skull monster's eyes rolled numbly, glowering at him with a guttural stare, as if eyeing a piece of fat meat!

"Hey, why are you staring at me?"

Startled, Liu Yiming darted upward at breakneck speed.

Far from the ground, those skull monsters shouldn't be able to catch up, right?

Just then, the skull monsters leapt out of the swamp, emitting a wailing "waa‑woo waa‑woo" and surged toward him madly!

"I didn't provoke you!"

Liu Yiming quickly drew a blade and slashed at the charging skull monsters!

Swish! Swish!

One slash only shattered a few skull monsters!

"Are they all monsters above the Quasi‑Emperor level?!"

Liu Yiming was instantly dumbfounded!

With so many skull monsters, how can I possibly kill them all?

At that moment, Liu Yiming saw a blazing white light soaring skyward nearby, its dazzling glare turning the surroundings bright as day!

While the white light flickered, Liu Yiming saw countless skull monsters being sliced at the waist, instantly clearing that area of them!

"A master? Seems to be an Emperor Realm strongman!"

Liu Yiming's eyes lit up instantly, he applied another speed rune to himself and darted toward the flicker, hoping to cling to the powerhouse!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After a few flickers, Liu Yiming arrived at the source of the dazzling white light!

He saw a middle‑aged man with a beard‑stubbled face, a knife slung on his back, a broad visage, his eyes as sharp as blades!

The knife‑bearing man strode above the swamp as if taking a leisurely walk, exuding a fierce white blade aura!

The white blade aura centered on him spread for thousands of li!

Any skull monster within thousands of li that approached him would be mercilessly torn to pieces by his surrounding fierce blade aura!!

Just as Liu Yiming flashed to the vicinity of the white blade qi's range, the middle-aged man also noticed him, his gaze turning toward him!

Liu Yiming clung to a sliver of hope, groveling as he sent a mental transmission to that middle-aged man: "Senior, could you take me along?"
