carefully accepted these messages.Soon, he would know the name of the day he was given divine powers and their specific use."Gifted with divine abilities, awe-inspiring!" Su Xin's eyes glittered.This...Duan Yunfeng was completely stunned.

He was so shocked that he blurted out a curse word.

My all-out strike, aimed at the head of this great monk, couldn't even break through the golden light covering his body

Even if one were a genuine mid-stage Void Realm expert, it would be impossible to block this blade with just the golden light of their physical defense, right

Abruptly, a golden light flashed in the great monk's eyes. He swung his stone staff with all his might.

It is still as plain as ever, but its power is significantly stronger than before.

Su Xin's eyes narrowed, and he immediately unleashed his ultimate move.

"Blazing Fire Secret Technique!"

"Starfire consumes the heavens, one sword—Dragonbane!"

A terrifying sword shadow, whistling as it slashed through the air.

Bang!

The void suddenly trembled.

That stone staff came crashing down like a mountain weighing millions of tons. Even though Su Xin used his ultimate move, he was still sent flying the moment it hit him.

As for Duan Yunfeng, he was also frightened and quickly retreated. Su Xin was smashed away, and he didn't have the guts to fight this great monk head-on.

>>>>

Whew!

Su Xin regained his balance, but his sword-holding hand was still numb.

"Damn, that's some twisted power," Su Xin muttered under his breath.

In a direct confrontation, he unleashed seventy percent of his bloodline power, pushing the Thunderfire Scroll to its limits. Even with Duan Yunfeng's assistance, they couldn't gain even a slight advantage. If he had faced this monk alone, he would have been utterly suppressed in a direct fight.

And just then, he also saw it. Duan Yunfeng went all out with a single strike, but this great monk simply blocked it with the golden light on his body. What kind of thing was that

Power, strong transformation!

Defense, even more so, is utterly despairing.

His wielding of the stone club, seemingly simple and crude, was in fact the essence of simplicity, containing profound meaning.

With a single use of the Technique, they could directly repel even themselves who had cast the powerful Thunderfire Secret Skill.

On all fronts, it is flawless and without any flaws.

He's a real monster, a living freak.

Yes, it's a monster.

Apart from this word, Su Xin couldn't think of any other way to describe the eminent monk in front of him.

"The two masters are truly formidable. This poor monk is no match for you both. However, if you wish to seize the talisman from my grasp, it will be equally difficult. Why not simply cease this struggle" the great monk said with a smile.

"What's the matter" Su Xin moved slightly, looking at Duan Yunfeng beside him.

Of course I have no objection. Duan Yunfeng nodded repeatedly.

Although their encounter was brief, both he and Su Xin still had trump cards they hadn't unleashed. But this eminent monk had already deployed his

You see, the way he cast his spells just now was always so casual. It wasn't until the very last one that he really seemed to be using his full power.

But there is no doubt that this great monk did not really try his best.

Most importantly, that just-past strike had dealt a severe blow to Duan Yunfeng's confidence.

He was usually unrestrained in his actions, but now he showed a sliver of fear toward this eminent monk.

"Well then, I shall cease. Su Xin withdrew his sword."

The venerable monk still smiled, placing his staff across his waist, and then asked, “Two lay disciples, on this hunt, have you seen Master Situ Yu”

"There was no shaking of Duan Yunfeng's head.

"Sītu Yù" Sū Xìn's expression shifted, "I wonder what Master seeks from Sītu Yù"

"Since the two of you haven't encountered any trouble, I won't disturb you further."

"Oh, I have to move again. What a chore."

After finishing his words, the great monk strode toward the nearby forest.

Su Xin and Duan Yunfeng didn't dare to stop him, and soon the great monk disappeared from their sight.

After the departure of the great monk, Duan Yunfeng could no longer remain composed.

"Brother, what kind of monster did we just encounter Even with the two of us working together, let alone defeating him, we couldn't even see a glimmer of hope for victory. Even Xia Mang wouldn't have fared any better, I suppose"

“And there was that golden light on his body. I struck with all my might, but couldn't break through it at all. Doesn't that mean he just stood there motionless, letting me chop away, and I couldn't do a thing to him” Duan Yunfeng said repeatedly.

The Tianyan Imperial Dynasty sent too many talented individuals to this imperial city hunt. Not only are there those listed in the previous intelligence report, but also a large number of hidden talents who haven't revealed their true strength.

"Even as strong as Xia Mang, he was only considered to be able to rank among the top three, but no one dared to say he was the first. This makes sense, and now we have encountered someone whose strength is no weaker than Xia Mang, and may even be stronger than Xia Mang," Su Xindao said.

Although Xia Mang is powerful, if he were to fight against both me and Duan Yunfeng according to the information, he would definitely suffer a heavy defeat.

That just now the Great Master, facing both of them simultaneously could calmly leave, even letting them see no hope of victory, was obviously stronger than Xia Mang.

"I hope we can avoid this great monk in the next stage of the hunt, or else..." Su Xin's face was grim.

Facing such an opponent who is overwhelmingly strong in terms of power, speed, defense, and batting skills, with no weaknesses whatsoever, anyone would find it incredibly difficult.

"Is this abbot still looking for Situ Yu"

What did he ask Situ Yu to do

Su Xin's confidence wavered. Judging from the words of the Great Master, he had been looking for Situ Yu in this hunting ground for a long time and had already changed many places.

It's called a hard job, but who assigned it

Shaking his head, Su Xin didn't think about it anymore.

Next, Su Xin and Duan Yunfeng continued their journey through the hunting grounds together. However, because of their encounter with the great monk, Duan Yunfeng seemed to have been affected, lacking his previous enthusiasm.

Time flew by, and soon it was the last day of the hunt.

Night falls.

If it were the past few days, many geniuses would surely have tacitly rested and recovered their physical and spiritual energy.

On this last night, those geniuses who still lacked enough command talismans to advance could not sleep.

Not only did they not rest, but they fought even more frantically.

Su Xin and Duan Yunfeng had received their talismans early on, so there was no need for them to fight. The two found a relatively secluded spot.

Su Xin didn't waste any time. Even during his rest at the hunting ground, he was still honing his swordsmanship, while Duan Yunfeng casually sat on a branch of a large tree.

Perhaps seeing Su Xin practice swordsmanship, Duan Yunfeng jumped down.

"Su Xin, your defensive swordsmanship is clearly much more skilled than when we fought in Dongyang City last time. Now that you have some free time, how about we spar again and learn from each other" Duan Yunfeng said.

Of course. Su Xin's eyes lit up.

His Shan Hai Scroll has reached a bottleneck, and he needs to fight strong opponents to hone his skills.

Before facing Tang Xuan, his opponent's strength was slightly weaker, leaving him disappointed. However, Duan Yunfeng's strength far surpasses that of Tang Xuan.

Soon, the two began to spar.

……

This hunting ground covers an area of over a hundred miles, far too vast.

In the hunting ground, there are mountains, forests, and lakes as well.

At this moment, on the edge of a breathtaking lake, a young man in luxurious robes sat there, and behind him stood five people.

"Xiao Mo, I'm here. Tell me, who do you want me to deal with" asked a wild-looking man with messy hair and a bushy beard.

Xiao Mo is considered a top genius with the potential to break into the top twenty hunters, and he also has significant background in the Heavenly Flame Imperial Dynasty.

And the savage man who opened his mouth to ask was named Ba Jiu, also a genius qualified to challenge the top twenty.

As for the other four, besides a frail young girl, the names of the other three were also on that intelligence report. They all had the qualifications to challenge the top one hundred.

"Don't rush, let's wait for everyone to arrive before we talk," said the young man in the luxurious robe sitting on the ground, Xiao Mo.

"Is there anyone else" Ba Jiu asked in surprise.

Six people waited by the lake for not long, when a beautiful woman in green slowly walked over.

"Luo Xianzi"

Upon seeing the arrival, Ba Jiu and the several geniuses behind him were all astonished.

Lu Xianzi, the first genius of Ziyun Sect in the current era, is also qualified to challenge the top twenty.

Moreover, since Luo Xianzi is a bloodline awakener herself and possesses bloodline power, she has a significant advantage in terms of strength. Therefore, in terms of ability, Luo Xianzi surpasses Xiao Mo and Ba Jiu.

Some people say that the intelligence report underestimated Luo Xianzi's abilities. Luo Xianzi's strength is fully qualified to challenge the top ten.

"Xiao Mo, with such a big commotion, who are you trying to deal with" Ba Jiu's expression became solemn.

Luo Xianzi, Xiao Mo, and he, three top talents qualified to challenge the top twenty. There are also three others who are listed as strong players in the intelligence report.

With such a powerful lineup, even if we faced the strongest Xia Mang, we'd likely be enough.

Since everyone is here, I won't keep it a secret from you all.

Xiao Mo finally stood up and said in a low voice, "The person I want to deal with is Duan Yunfeng!!"

Was it him

Luoxianzi, Bajiu and the others were all startled.

Duan Yunfeng, in terms of sheer talent on display, might not be as strong as Xia Mang, but he is the second strongest contender after Xia Mang. He is one of the top talents in this hunt.

No wonder Xiao Mo invited so many powerful people at the same time.

"Xiao Mo, do you have a grudge against that Yun Feng" Ba Jiu asked.

"Revenge Of course there is!" Duan Yunfeng's eyes instantly became filled with venomous hatred.

He will never forget what Duan Yunfeng did to him.

On his wedding day, before the bride even left her home, Duan Yunfeng stormed into her house and abducted her.

When he chased after him, that section of cloud peaks directly took action, teaching him a harsh lesson and humiliating him.

That was definitely the most humiliating day of his life. He had never been so wronged before.

Most importantly, when he wanted to take revenge by relying on his background afterwards, the people behind him said they didn't want to provoke Duan Yunfeng!

That is to say, in terms of background, Duan Yunfeng is stronger than him.

In terms of background and personal strength, he was completely dominated by Duan Yunfeng... He couldn't find any chance to get revenge on Duan Yunfeng at all.

He could only take revenge during this royal city hunt, and on this first stage of the hunt.

"Duan Yunfeng, I usually can't do anything to you, and I can't kill you on this hunt. But I can find a way to eliminate you beforehand and make sure you never get into the Heavenly Flame Palace," Xiao Mo thought viciously.

"Xiao Mo, even if you want to take revenge on Yun Feng, this hunting ground is too vast, and this is the last night. How can you guarantee that you'll be able to find Yun Feng tonight" Luo Xianzi asked.

"Luo Xianzi, rest assured, since I invited all of you here, I am naturally able to find the location of Yunfeng." Xiao Mo finished speaking and looked at the most inconspicuous and frail young girl among the few people.

That frail girl also stepped forward and said, "Honorable masters, this young woman comes from the Yuling Sect"

"The Spirit Warding Sect"

Luo Xianzi, Ba Jiu and others' expressions moved.

The Yuling Sect is just a small sect within the Tianyan Imperial Dynasty. It's naturally incomparable to powerful sects like the Ziyun Sect in terms of foundation and resources, however, the Yuling Sect's beast-taming techniques are quite remarkable.

Just like the purple wind beasts they rode on their way to the imperial city from various states and counties before, many of them were domesticated by the Yuling Sect.

“When I was wandering the hunting grounds before, I once encountered that Cloud Peak. At that time, I had my spirit beast leave some scent on him. That scent wouldn't dissipate for a few days, and I could have my spirit beast follow the scent to find his location,” the delicate girl said softly.

"Is that so" Everyone immediately understood.

"There's one more thing," the delicate girl continued, "When I encountered that segment of Yunfeng, there was someone else with him."

Is there anyone else

"With such overwhelming strength, this Yun Feng doesn't even need to team up with others"

Ba Jiu and the others were all extremely surprised.

Accompanying him was a sword prodigy. His cultivation was low, only at the peak of the Sea Transformation Realm, but his strength was surprisingly formidable," the delicate girl said.

She will never forget when she teamed up with several others to encounter the one who had achieved great mastery over the sea. At first, they intended to kill him directly, but unexpectedly, he was able to block their attacks simultaneously.

Later, Duan Yunfeng arrived to find her team had been slaughtered, with only she herself lucky enough to have escaped.

"Haha, just a small sea-turning great achievement. How strong can he be Among us, anyone could easily kill him." A genius beside him laughed.

Xiao Mo, Luo Xianzi, and Ba Jiu and the others didn't care either.

It's just a small pond, what's there to care about

"Well then, let's go," Xiao Mo said.

Soon, a group of seven people, led by the delicate girl, quickly rushed towards the location of Duan Yunfeng and Su Xin.

……ue Xu Chen Tao with a single sword. Such strength, even among the invincible ones in the Void Breaking Realm, would definitely be top-notch.……Beyond the secret realm, within that majestic ancient pala...
