Everyone stared at this person, their gazes focused. The reason was very simple. There were numerous extremely complicated patterns and markings on his skin that was exposed outside of his clothes.
This was definitely not an ordinary painting or tattoo. Instead, it was a tiny formation that truly contained powerful and special energy. Among the Heavenly Masters, there were very few who would modify their own bodies, just like setting up arrays on weapons or embedding external forces. However, such people were so rare that one might not even see one in their lifetime. The reason was simple. This would easily cause negative effects on one's body. Not only would it severely affect one's cultivation ability, but it would also greatly reduce one's lifespan.
Lu An had seen such a person before. It was the person he had helped Prince Qi find. This person had modified his own body to store large amounts of energy for revenge, and his lifespan had been greatly reduced. Only those who were in a hurry to obtain power in a short period of time or those who believed that they could no longer improve their strength would do such a thing. It was obvious that this person in front of him was one of them.
However, the patterns on this person's body were obviously more complicated than those of the people he had met before. They were also more orderly. It was obvious that they were on a completely different level. This person's aura was at the peak of Class 8. Coupled with this unknown power, Lu An felt a lot of pressure.
Furthermore … this was the opponent's home ground.
Lu An looked at the swamp in front of him. This person had charged out with great speed and power, but what was shocking was that he had not caused much of a splash. Even the ripples were not obvious. This meant that the weight of the swamp was much heavier than expected. It was definitely not as simple as an ordinary swamp.
"Sect Master!" This person immediately shouted. His voice was very powerful, and there was not much of a sinister feeling that came from using poison.
Su Keming nodded slightly. He looked at everyone and said, "This is the person sent by our Guang You Sect. He is just an ordinary Elder, not even a core Elder. Even Yin Yang Divine Sect's Cui Yan was no match for Alliance Master Lu. I don't think Alliance Master Lu will reject him this time, right? "
Hearing Su Keming's words, everyone frowned even more. Although core Elders were much stronger than ordinary Elders, this person obviously had many tricks up his sleeve. He was definitely not that simple.
"I am Wan He!" This Elder cupped his hands at Lu An and said in a clear voice, "I have long heard of Alliance Master Lu's fame. I wonder if it is undeserved!"
As soon as this was said, everyone present frowned. After so many things had happened, no one doubted Lu An's strength in the same realm anymore. Could it be that this elder didn't even go to the sect banquet at the beginning of the year?
This was indeed the case. Wan He did not attend the Sect's Grand Banquet. All the rumors about Lu An were hearsay. The reason why he didn't go was very simple. He hadn't left this place for decades. To him, this place was his heaven.
Lu An was not angry, nor did he say anything to the elder. He looked at Su Ke Ming and asked, "How do we compete?"
"It's simple." Su Keming immediately said, "Within this swamp, there is a special natural treasure known as the 'Resentment Fruit'. This' Resentment Fruit 'isn't large, only about four inches in length. Its entire body emits a dim, dark green light. Both of you will enter from the southern edge. Whoever collects ten Resentment Fruits first and leaves from the northern edge of the swamp will be considered the winner. "
Hearing this, many Level Nine Heavenly Masters were puzzled. Chen Kuang asked, "He's been here all year round. What if his ring already has the Fruit of Resentment?"
Everyone nodded slightly. This was indeed not a small concern. Su Ke Ming smiled coldly and said, "Do you see if he has an interspatial ring?"
Everyone was slightly startled. They looked at Wan He and realized that there was indeed no interspatial ring on his hands. These Level Nine Heavenly Masters could easily sense Wan He's entire body, including his insides. There was indeed no place for him to hide.
Su Ke Ming took out a ring and said, "There's nothing in this ring. If you don't believe me, you can open it and take a look."
No one stretched out their hands. They were only here to watch the show. There was no need for them to lower themselves to check something like this.
Seeing that no one responded, Su Ke Ming directly handed the interspatial ring to Wan He. Everything had been explained, and the competition was about to begin.
Wan He moved downwards at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, he reached the edge of the Life-Stopping Swamp. This speed made Lu An's eyes narrow. Just based on this speed, he was already at the level of a core elder.
Just as Lu An was about to move downwards, Su Ke Ming suddenly opened his mouth and said coldly, "Alliance Master Lu."
Lu An's figure paused. He stopped and turned to look at Su Ke Ming.
"So many people are here. I'll say the unpleasant words first. Otherwise, if something sad happens, it will be my fault." Su Ke Ming said coldly in front of everyone, "Firstly, this Life-Stopping Swamp is extremely dangerous. The slightest bit of carelessness will cost you your life. If Alliance Master Lu loses his life here, don't blame me. Alliance Master Lu agreed to this competition. I didn't force him. "
Everyone frowned. Lu An's eyes turned even deeper. He said indifferently, "What else?"
"In this Life-Stopping Swamp, the two of you can fight each other." Su Ke Ming said coldly, "The winner will be the one who gathers the Resentment Fruits first and comes out from the north. In the process, you can snatch from each other. You can even … kill each other. This is a competition without any rules. In order to win, you can use any means."
No rules? Use any means?
Everyone frowned even more as they stared at Su Ke Ming. However, Su Ke Ming didn't care. He said, "If anything happens to Alliance Master Lu, or even if you are killed by my men, I hope that Alliance Master Lu will leave behind his last words. Don't let anyone pursue the matter with my Guang You Sect."
Hearing Su Ke Ming's words, Lu An's eyes turned even darker. He said, "Alright, everything will be as you say."
"Alliance Master Lu is indeed straightforward!" Su Ke Ming revealed a cold smile and said, "Everyone here can testify for me. Alliance Master Lu, please!"
Lu An didn't say another word to Su Ke Ming. He immediately headed down to the edge of the swamp. Soon, he arrived at the other side of the swamp. He was about three kilometers away from Wan He.
Lu An didn't get careless. Everything in this swamp was unknown to him. He had to get used to the swamp before he could deal with this Elder.
Three kilometers away, Wan He's eyes seemed to be filled with green poison as he stared coldly at Lu An. Lu An naturally felt this gaze. However, he didn't look at the other party because he only cared about the swamp.
Fu Yu had said not to take the people of the sect seriously. To Lu An, Wan He was no exception.
After two breaths, Wan He immediately moved. He rushed to the edge of the swamp and directly charged into it!
Bang!
Just like before, the swamp didn't cause much of a ripple, much less a splash. Seeing that Wan He had already entered, Lu An immediately moved and leaped into the swamp.
Everyone in the sky was shocked when they saw this scene. Even most of them hadn't entered the Death Stopping Swamp. The situation when they entered the swamp could very well determine the outcome.
Bang.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lu An's body sank into the swamp.
Suction and pressure!
The moment Lu An entered the swamp, he felt a huge suction force on the surface of the swamp. This suction force pulled his body down as soon as he came into contact with the swamp. More importantly, the surface of the swamp was very thick. Lu An didn't want to go too deep, but he was forced to sink under the powerful suction force!
The pressure of the swamp was also very strong. It directly suppressed the power of a level eight Heavenly Master to the level of a level six Heavenly Master. Lu An didn't want to sink so quickly. He, who would no longer hide his bloodline in front of the sect, immediately released his power. Cold light flashed around his body, and a thin layer of ice three meters thick and three hundred meters wide appeared on the surface of the swamp.
Bang!
Lu An, who was inside the layer of ice, immediately trembled. His speed dropped to almost a standstill. However, the power of the swamp was very strong. It was enough to suppress Lu An's power by a level, and it also caused the layer of ice to begin to crack.
The surface of the swamp was in an unstable state. Although it couldn't directly cause the layer of ice to explode, it could slowly cause the layer of ice to crack. However, the effect of the layer of ice was enough for Lu An.
