Chapter 2033: The Dweller in the Depths
four elements of earth, air, water, and fire" another person questioned, "Big Beard, tell us about it."“The Four Elements is an old theory, you know. Haven't any of you read the teachings of the Ange...The latter half of the Sword Sect is clearly visible with many empty martial arts arenas and various buildings.
But because too much time has passed, these buildings are almost reduced to sand heaps, and their original appearance is unrecognizable.
As for tombstones, there are still many here, numbering in the tens of thousands.
There are no less than 80,000 tombstones in the entire Jianzong.
Overnight, 80,000 Jianzong cultivators died.
To think that Jianzong could once be so powerful... It's simply unbelievable.
Besides all sorts of buildings and tombstones everywhere, at the very heart of Jianzong, there is surprisingly a small hill.
Fang Yu glanced at him and said, "Let's split up. You stay here and see if you find anything. I'll go check behind the hill."
"Good." Ye Ge nodded.
Thus, Fang Yu directly leaped up and flew towards the back mountain.
While Ye Ge continued to probe forward in his original position.
In the dilapidated and ancient Jianzong ancient tomb, besides the sounds made by the two people, there was a deathly silence.
Fang Yu quickly arrived at the back mountain.
He dashed past the hill and came upon a patch of low-lying woods.
So, he descended again to the ground and walked into the woods.
"The environment here is so harsh, yet this forest hasn't withered. It's not normal." Fang Yu observed the trees on either side.
It just looks like a normal green tree, nothing special.
But that, precisely, is the anomaly.
Such a desolate place, even the buildings have turned to dust, yet this grove of trees remains like an earthly paradise, well-preserved and even teeming with life.
Fang Yu's eyes moved slightly, and he walked forward slowly.
Following the path through the woods for a while, we soon came upon a spring ahead.
"There's still water here No wonder this forest area is so well preserved." Fang Yu walked to the spring and squatted down.
However, the spring water was not clear, taking on a milky hue. Unlike ordinary water that could reflect the surrounding scenery, this water obscured the views.
"What kind of water is this"
Fang Yu reached his right hand into the spring water.
"Zila..."
The instant the palm touched the spring water, a cloud of white vapor evaporated.
These milky liquids... are extremely corrosive, and they spread!
Fang Yu retracted his hand, his palm still steaming, but he was unharmed.
This is him. Anyone else, even Ye Ge... just thrusting their hand in like that would inevitably result in immense pain.
"These liquids aren't water, more like molten metal…" Fang Yu frowned.
Why would there be such a place in the middle of this forest
And this grove of trees remains so well-preserved, completely unlike the outside world.
Fang Yu was still thinking.
"Click!"
Suddenly, a cold hand landed on his shoulder!
Fang Yu's eyes narrowed, and he immediately turned his head.
But before he could turn his head, a glint of cold light flashed past his peripheral vision!
"Bang!"
The sharp blade cut directly at Fang Yu's neck!
However, only a metallic clang echoed through the air.
Fang Yu had already turned around, facing this sudden presence head-on!
This is a disheveled old man!
His face was covered in stubble, his eyelids were dark, and his eyes burned with murderous intent!
"Click click click..."
He held in his hand a long sword that glowed with a blue light, its blade still embedded in Fang Yu's neck, continuing to press down relentlessly.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get the sharp blade to pierce Fang Yu's skin.
"Old man, who are you"
Fang Yu stood still, sizing up the old man. Then he raised his finger and casually deflected the blade of the sword.
"Hehehe..."
The old man's teeth were grinding together, obviously having pushed his strength to the limit, yet it was no match for Fang Yu's effortless flick of a finger!
"Ah!"
His face contorted in fury, he suddenly raised his sword blade and brought it down on her head once more!
Fang Yu dodged sideways.
"Boom!"
A powerful sword strike slashed backward, carving a huge ravine in the ground behind it, along with the corrosive liquid from the spring. Smoke and dust billowed everywhere.
But at this moment, Fang Yu has already made his move!
"Bang!"
He suddenly struck out with his right palm.
The right palm, aimed directly at the elder's abdomen.
The elder emanated a large amount of spiritual energy, and a protective aura appeared on his body surface.
"Bang!"
But the shield was unable to withstand Fang Yu's palm strike and instantly shattered.
The old man flew backwards, landing on the ground and rolling several times before quickly standing up.
He gripped the long sword in his hand, staring intently at Fang Yu, muttering to himself: "Invader, I will kill you, kill you..."
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, looking at the old man.
Judging from his aura, the elder's cultivation level is definitely not low. At least he has reached the peak of the Transcendence Realm, or even possibly the Immortal Ascension Realm.
This old man, for some reason, seemed to have a problem with his mind. His eyes were both vacant and frenzied.
Who is this
Could he be a survivor from the Sword Sect back then
It's impossible. The Jianzong was a sect from the ancient times. Even if there were survivors that night, they would have turned to fossils by now, where could they possibly be alive and kicking
"Old man, who are you" Fang Yu thought for a moment and asked again.
"Death to the invaders, death to them..."
The old man, mid-sentence, suddenly drew his swords and slashed with a mighty blow!
"Ugh..."
Sword qi crisscrossed, a sharp aura overwhelming one's senses.
However, sword qi itself is formless!
Fang Yu stood still, his eyes flickering slightly, and raised his right palm.
A burst of true qi surged out, colliding with the intangible sword qi in mid-air, producing a deafening roar.
The ground shook, and the surrounding forest was broken by the force of the blast.
""
The elder's sword suddenly transformed into a ball of magical energy in his hand.
"Boom..."
The legal orb erupted with earth-shattering power, crashing down upon Fang Yu!
"Whoosh!"
Fang Yu flashed forward and charged towards the elder. He raised his left arm in mid-air and swung it with all his might!
"Bang!"
The power of the Thunderclap could be crushed by Fang Yu with a single slap!
The old man's palms struck together, and the ground suddenly burst apart, erupting with a flow of earth!
Fang Yu's expression remained unchanged, his right hand clenched into a fist and smashed downwards.
...
The newly formed earthen spout, just as it began to taper into a point, was instantly pulverized!
The old man continued to cast spells with his hands clasped in a magical gesture.
However, the next second, Fang Yu had already appeared before the elder.
"Tell me, what is your name"
Fāng Yǔ extended his right hand, gripping the elder's neck and lifting him halfway into the air.
The old man struggled with all his might, but there wasn't a hint of fear on his face.
He was still trying to gather spiritual energy, wanting to fight back.
"Bang!"
But at this moment, Fang Yu's palm burst out with a surge of golden light, and his aura skyrocketed!
"Pff!"
The old man spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire body trembling violently. He slumped over instantly, unable to make any further movements.
"Now can you finally tell me... your name" Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, staring at the old man, and asked again.
At that moment, a sonic boom echoed through the air.
Ye Ge flew to Fang Yu's side, his expression grave, and asked, "Fang Sect Leader, what happened..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw the elder in Fang Yu's hand and his face changed drastically!
"...Shi Yuan senior!" Ye Ge's eyes widened, speaking in alarm.you disappeared"Upon hearing Fang Yu's question, Lin Batian's face twitched slightly. He took a deep breath and turned to face the vast lake.Then, speaking softly.As for his experiences on Earth, Fang...
