Chapter 337: A Hero Saves a Beauty (Third update, please vote)

Nangong Wan, who was skilled and courageous, was not frightened by the restrictions on the giant bluestone palace. She directly led the disciples of the Yanyue Sect into the giant bluestone palace.

The interior structure of the huge bluestone palace is very simple. There is nothing in the hall except for an underground passage surrounded by jade railings.

Nangong Wan looked around and confirmed that there were no other treasures in the hall before leading everyone into the dark underground passage.

After walking along the long and narrow underground passage for a while, Nangong Wan and the others' vision suddenly became clear, and a strange swamp world appeared in their sight.

The height of this underground space is only about 100 meters, but its width is several miles. What comes into view is a black swamp with a few bubbles popping up from time to time.

The swamp is surrounded by tall piles of black soil. In the corners far from the entrance, dozens of magical herbs of various shapes are growing.

However, compared to those elixirs, the truly eye-catching thing is the small white jade pavilion located in the center of the black swamp.

I saw a golden treasure chest with strange patterns painted on it floating in the white jade pavilion. It was obviously not an ordinary item!

When Nangong Wan saw the golden treasure chest, a hint of heat flashed in her beautiful eyes. She quickly asked everyone to perform the "Yin Yang Attraction Technique" to get rid of the first-level black-scaled python first, and then take the treasure with peace of mind.

Unfortunately, what Nangong Wan didn’t know was that those disciples who had participated in the Bloody Trial before had mistaken the guardian monster of this place.

The guardian monster living in the black swamp is not the first-level monster Black Scaled Python, but a Black Dragon that is about to evolve into a second-level monster.

In the world of "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality", there is a very unique feature, that is, it is very difficult for cultivators to kill enemies above their level.

Not to mention killing the enemy by crossing a large realm, even killing the enemy by crossing a small realm is difficult.

The Black Dragon, which possesses the blood of a dragon, is much stronger than any monster of the same level, so Nangong Wan and the others were unsurprisingly defeated.

The black dragon that was beaten half to death by Nangong Wan and the others actually evolved successfully and turned into a second-level monster, with a completely different appearance from its original one.

The jet-black body turned snow-white and scaleless, and its length suddenly increased from more than thirty meters to more than sixty meters. Only faint scars remained at the injured parts, so faint that they were almost invisible.

The most surprising thing is that a small black horn about an inch long grew on its head, and a pair of white claws grew on its abdomen, exactly like the legendary dragon.

"Damn it! This beast is not a black-scaled python, but a black dragon!"

Nangong Wan's face turned livid, and she suppressed her anger and ordered, "The strength of a Level 2 Black Dragon is comparable to that of a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even if we combine our strengths, we are no match for it. Leave here quickly. I can still hold it back for a while."

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the Black Dragon, the disciples of the Yanyue Sect did not dare to stay for long and rushed into the underground passage.

"Rumble..."

Not long after they entered the passage, they heard the roar of the black dragon, the delicate shouts of a young girl, and an earth-shaking roar from behind.

"Damn it! You are just a little snake that has just broken through to level 2, yet you dare to be so arrogant in front of me? If I had recovered my original magic power, I would have captured you and taken you back to guard the cave a long time ago!"

Nangong Wan fought with the Mo Jiao for a while, and only after all the disciples of the Yanyue Sect had safely evacuated did she angrily take out a golden talisman and threw it at the Mo Jiao.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

The talisman emitted a golden light that transformed into countless golden threads, tightly binding the black dragon into a ball.

As the black dragon struggled violently, the golden threads began to break little by little, and it was obvious that it could not be trapped for long. Seeing this, Nangong Wan could only look at the golden treasure chest reluctantly, and then flew towards the entrance of the passage.

Just as Nangong Wan was about to enter the underground passage, a roar suddenly came from the passage. The entire bluestone passage seemed to come alive, desperately squeezing towards the middle, and in the blink of an eye, the entire passage was blocked.

"Small Five Elements Xumi Prohibition Technique!"

Upon seeing this, Nangong Wan's expression suddenly changed, and she was no longer as calm as before.

"Roar!!!"

Before Nangong Wan could come up with a countermeasure, the black dragon, which had forcibly broken free from its restraints, opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards her.

At the same time, in the hall of the huge bluestone palace, the disciples of the Yanyue Sect who had managed to escape were glaring at a girl in white who looked at a loss.

"Junior Sister Zhao, what on earth did you just do?"

The leading disciple of the Yanyue Sect said with a look of shock and anger: "Why did you throw talismans into the passage? Now the entire passage has been destroyed by you. Are you trying to murder Grandmaster Nangong?"

"I... I didn't intend to murder Master Nangong. I just wanted to stick a small five-element talisman at the entrance, waiting for that black dragon to chase out and give it a taste of its own medicine..."

Faced with the questioning and angry stares from her fellow disciples, the girl in white was at a loss as to what to do.

Although the girl in white has the support of her grandmother who is in the Jindan stage, if the sect loses a Jindan stage cultivator because of her, she will only face death.

"Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. If Grandmaster Nangong really dies, we, the fellow disciples, will not have a good ending either."

An older male disciple said helplessly, "Let's quickly find a way to dig a passage and rescue Master Nangong!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present no longer cared to blame Junior Sister Zhao, and immediately used their own magic skills to bombard the closed underground passage.

Xiao Feng, who was hiding in the dark, looked at Nangong Wan, who looked particularly embarrassed as she was being chased by Mo Jiao, and smiled with a gloating look on his face.

[Oh no! The talismans are all used up, and I am dead! ]

Nangong Wan, who had been chased by the Mo Jiao for several hours, threw out the last talisman in her storage bag. Feeling the magic power in her body almost exhausted, she couldn't help but reveal a desperate expression.

"Slay the demons and evil spirits with one sword!"

Just when Nangong Wan was about to close her eyes and wait for death, a heroic male voice suddenly rang out, followed by a giant golden sword several meters long that fell from the sky and directly cut off the black dragon's head.

Looking at Xiao Feng walking out of the darkness, Nangong Wan couldn't help feeling a little unhappy while feeling fortunate to have escaped death.

It was obvious that Xiao Feng had been hiding here for a long time. He was obviously waiting to almost consume the Black Dragon so that he could reap the benefits.

"If I hadn't rescued you just now, you would be dead now, so you owe me a life, and all the treasures here belong to me. You should have no objection, right?"

After Xiao Feng finished speaking, he did not give Nangong Wan a chance to refuse, and instead began to dismember the body of the Mo Jiao.
