Chapter 44: Encounter

in, two years older than him. When they were young, their relationship was very close. However, in recent years, under the pressure of the門客派 faction, Su Yuning has been training and improving her str...Outside the hunting ground, as a figure was escorted out, the large number of talented individuals who had already been eliminated all turned to look.

"It's Tang Xuan!"

According to information, Tang Xuan, who has the qualifications to impact the top ten hunters

"How could he possibly be eliminated"

"Could it be that I've met Xia Mang"

These geniuses mostly have incredible expressions.

Like Tang Xuan, a top genius who is qualified to challenge the top ten hunters, even if he is alone in the hunting ground, he should be able to walk sideways.

Should we get rid of him

In the eyes of these geniuses, only Xia Mang, who is unanimously recognized as being among the top three, is qualified to do so.

After being eliminated, Tang Xuan did not stay on the plain but returned directly to the imperial city.

The Tang family, similarly a top-tier aristocratic family in the Heavenly Flame Imperial Dynasty, is not inferior to the Si Tu family in terms of heritage and strength. Remember the URL

"Master!"

"Young Master!"

Tang Xuan returned to the Tang family. Everyone he passed along the way respectfully bowed to him.

"What's going on, young master Shouldn't you be out hunting I heard there are still two days until the first stage of the hunt ends. Why are you back so early Did... did you get eliminated"

"How is that possible With the young master's skill, in just the first stage of the hunt, who has the ability to eliminate him"

In the Tang family, there was much discussion and debate.

"Get out!"

"

Get out of here!

"

Tang Xuan scolded the maids and servants who came to attend to him, and then locked himself in his room.

He sat in meditation with his eyes closed for a long time before finally opening them again.

"Ho!"

Letting out a soft sigh, Tang Xuan's mood calmed down slightly.

"I knew it all along, the Heavenly Flame Dynasty, with its thirty-six states and billions of people, would certainly have countless geniuses. With my strength, wanting to truly break into the top ten hunters would be extremely difficult. But I never expected that at the very beginning, in just the first stage of the hunt, I would be eliminated!"

"...Duanyunfeng, and the one who wielded the sword, the one who achieved great mastery of the Sea-Transforming state..."

Tang Xuan clenched his hands tightly, feeling deeply unwilling in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Whether it's Duan Yunfeng or Su Xin, in terms of strength, they are actually much stronger than him.

Not to mention they are teaming up.

This year's hunt is over.

Now, I have two choices. First, I can directly break through to the Void Realm and rely on my Tang family's resources to improve my strength, then go out for training.

Secondly, wait another five years until the next hunting competition. By then, my strength will be even greater, and I'll have a good chance of breaking into the top ten.

Tang Xuan was weighing it in his hands.

He is only thirty-four years old this year, and he will only be thirty-nine in five years. He is still eligible to participate in the royal hunt.

As for the Void-Shattering Realm… Someone with his talent would have already met the requirements for a breakthrough. As long as he spent a little time, it would be effortless for him to break through.

That's it, that's how he breaks through. He's really not willing to accept this.

After all, although the Tang family is a top-tier clan with some resources, it's nowhere near comparable to the Tianyan Palace.

That was the true cultivation holy land of the entire Tianyan Dynasty. Disciples who entered the Tianyan Palace to cultivate, as long as they didn't fall midway, were destined to be peak powerhouses in the Void Breaking Realm in the future, each with extremely powerful strength, and there was a high probability that they could even impact the Nirvana Realm.

While relying solely on the Tang family's resources and his own capabilities, his probability of breaking through to the Nirvana Realm is extremely low.

"Very well, then! I'll wait!"

"Wait another five years!"

Tang Xuan made up his mind.

"Duan Yunfeng, and that one who uses the sword, Hai Da Cheng, their strength is definitely able to enter the top ten in this hunt, then entering the Tianyan Palace to cultivate. Their starting point will be earlier than mine, but the path of cultivation is fraught with difficulties and dangers, anything could happen."

"The two of you are stronger than me right now, but your future accomplishments may not surpass mine."

……

In the hunting ground, Su Xin and Duan Yunfeng were very happy.

“Su Xin, with the two of us brothers teaming up, we're simply invincible in this hunting ground. Although Tang Xuan isn't as strong as the two of us, if we encounter him in the later stages of the hunt, it will be very troublesome. But now he's been eliminated by us ahead of time.” Duan Yunfeng grinned, and his address to Su Xin had changed to "brother."

Su Xin is also very happy.

Although Duan Yunfeng has a quirky temper and can be impulsive at times, he is straightforward and sincere. He doesn't have any ulterior motives and makes a great friend or brother.

"I'm really looking forward to encountering that Xia Mang in this hunting ground. When the time comes, you and I, brothers united, will definitely eliminate him," Duan Yunfeng said.

Given the two of them, the threat to them this time hunting was not many. But Xia Mang was undoubtedly the strongest one.

"This hunting ground is too vast, with only two days left. It's going to be difficult to find him," Su Xin said.

"Let's see what fate has in store, Duan Yunfeng said with a smile."

The two continued to search the surroundings for prey.

And just as they were eliminating Tang Xuan, a monk with bare feet, a big head and ears, and a giant Buddha bead hanging from his neck, had already arrived in this area.

"It's been almost three days, and I've searched most of the hunting grounds, but I still haven't encountered Master Situ Yu. My luck is truly terrible."

Oh, this errand is too much of a hardship.

The monk complained as he wandered about the area.

Soon, the Great Master sensed the presence of two people through his talisman.

Here come two more benefactors, I hope these two benefactors can know the whereabouts of Si Tu Yu.

The great monk immediately stepped forward.

……

"Su Xin, someone's here."

"One person"

Su Xin and Duan Yunfeng also sensed each other's presence, and immediately went to greet them.

Soon, the two parties will meet.

"Oh, a great monk" Duan Yunfeng smiled.

"This great monk, seeing you, didn't flee at the first opportunity" Su Xin frowned.

Before this, it was just a mutual sense of awareness, no real confrontation. It's normal for the other party to come face-to-face, but now that both parties have met, that monk must have already recognized Duan Yunfeng, yet he still shows no intention of fleeing. Even Su Xin couldn't see any nervousness on the monk's face.

And as he approached, Su Xin instinctively felt a palpable pressure emanating from this great monk.

"Duan Yunfeng, be careful, this great monk's strength is probably not weak," Su Xin reminded.

Whether he's strong or weak, kill him and then we'll talk. Duan Yunfeng didn't care at all.

Given his ability, there were only a handful of prodigies on this hunt who could make him wary, including Xia Mang. Now that he's teamed up with Su Xin, he fears no one.

Whoosh!

Duan Yunfeng leaped forward, taking the lead. The long sword in his hand slashed through the air, leaving a brilliant trail behind it.

Blades flashed, carrying astonishing might and artistry, directly cleaving towards the great monk's head.

The venerable monk wore an incredibly kind and gentle smile. Seeing the blade coming, there was no change in his expression, but the stone staff in his hand flashed out like lightning.

No frills!

It was just so casually, a random swing.

It feels like swatting flies.

...Next moment… BOOM!!

A terrifying burst of power erupted, the blade light Duan Yunfeng wielded instantly dissipated, and he along with it was vaporized in an instant, turning into a meteor and crashing towards the forest behind him.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of crashing sounds echoed through the air, each one accompanied by a tree exploding from the inside out, sending up a huge cloud of dust. By this time, Duan Yunfeng had been completely swallowed by the dust.

"How is that possible" Su Xin was dumbfounded.

That's Duan Yunfeng, definitely a top ten combatant in this hunt. A real terror incarnate.

Now it can be easily knocked away like swatting a fly.

Whew!

As if teleporting, without a sound, the imposing figure of the great monk had appeared before Su Xin.

The same stone club, just as plain and simple, came flying towards Su Xin with a casual swing.

Su Xin also immediately took action.

"Like a bolt from the blue!"

A fierce sword strike, imbued with powerful sword intent, smashed down with overwhelming force, colliding head-on with the descending stone club.

Ding!

In just a flash, Su Xin felt a numbness creep through his arm. A terrifying force surged through the longsword and into his body, sending him flying backwards.

Bang!

Su Xin also crashed into a large tree. Although the trunk of the tree immediately split, it did not collapse immediately.

Su Xin felt the pain in his back from the impact, a storm of emotions already raging within him.

"Too strong!"

This power not only surpasses the limits of the Huanghai realm, but even many powerful cultivators at the early stage of the Po Xu realm are far inferior to him in terms of strength.

"At the mid-stage of Void Breaker, yes, in terms of pure strength alone, it can definitely rival a Void Breaker mid-stage expert!"

Su Xin stared intently ahead at the old monk whose kind smile remained unchanged.

He had once fought Zhao Tianlei, a Void Refinement mid-stage expert, so he was very clear about the power possessed by a Void Refinement mid-stage powerhouse.

Regardless of whether it was him or Duan Yunfeng, when they unleashed their full power, their strength at best only reached the threshold of the Profound Void Realm. Compared to this Buddhist monk, they were clearly far inferior.

"Duanyunfeng, are you alright" Su Xin looked over at him.

Duan Yunfeng struggled to his feet again at that moment.

Hearing Su Xin's words, he turned his head and glanced at Su Xin, but his eyes were filled with astonishment.

Obviously, that last hit just dazed him a bit.

"Brother, who have we met Is it Xia Mang" Duan Yunfeng asked.

"Not Xia Mang, but perhaps, even stronger than Xia Mang!" Su Xin stared at the great monk ahead, his face bearing an unprecedented seriousness.

"Two honorable patrons, your skills are quite impressive," the venerable monk smiled amiably.

This is not sarcasm.

Over the past three days, he'd encountered countless talented individuals on this hunting ground, but so far, no one had been able to take his place without being eliminated.

Ke Su and Duan Yunfeng have both moved on.

"Duan Yunfeng, this battle we both have to give it our all," Su Xin said solemnly.

"Hmm, Duan Yunfeng also straightened his back, clearly coming to his senses."

I'll face him head-on, you assist me from the side and look for an opportunity to attack and harm Su Xindao.

"You're going to fight him head-on Are you sure" Duan Yunfeng gave Su Xin a strange look.

Facing the newly unleashed power of the great master, Duan Yunfeng wouldn't dare to engage him in a direct confrontation.

"It should be fine, Su Xindao."

"That's right," Duan Yunfeng nodded.

BOOM!

Su Xin made a move.

At the moment he made his move, the blood power within him surged. From the start of the hunt until now, it had only been activated to a maximum of 50%. But now, in an instant, it was fully unleashed at 70%!

With his cultivation and the unique nature of his bloodline inheritance technique, even at 50% bloodline power, he could unleash a force comparable to that of a peak Sea Transformation cultivator. Once his bloodline power was activated by 70%, the explosive force in an instant would fully reach the threshold of the Void Breaking realm.

In swordsmanship, Su Xin also brought his power and artistic conception to the peak of their explosion.

That sword technique was like a raging fire, incredibly fierce, and it slashed straight at the great monk.

Duan Yunfeng then moved like a ghost, and on his body, a layer of red light had inexplicably appeared at some point. It was clear he had also used some means to greatly increase his strength.

Besides not having pushed their bloodline power to its peak, both Su Xin and Duan Yunfeng had already exerted themselves to the fullest.

And that great monk remained smiling, the stone staff in his hand once again moving out with no flourish.

Boom!

The great monk's staff and Su Xin's sword clashed again, but this time, Su Xin only trembled slightly before launching another attack.

"The first level of sword intent"

A flicker of surprise crossed the monk's eyes.

The feeling of immersion can be divided into three levels, from shallow to deep. Even at the first level alone, only the very top and strongest individuals among those who have reached the Void-Breaking Realm can achieve it.

Out of nearly ten thousand participants in this hunting expedition, only Xia Mang has achieved the first level of comprehension.

At this moment, Su Xin could make a move. The swordsmanship he wielded clearly contained the realm of the first level.

"Haha!!"

The great monk smiled, his stone staff whirling faster and faster, clashing with Su Xin's attacks again and again. Su Xin was fearless throughout the chaotic exchange.

At this moment, Duan Yunfeng on the side suddenly erupted.

He brandished his long sword, the blade flashing with eerie dexterity and overwhelming power. At first, the monk was able to parry, but Duan Yunfeng's swordsmanship grew faster and more unpredictable by the moment.

Gradually, even this great wall couldn't withstand it.

Finally, Duan Yunfeng found the opportunity.

"Master, let me see you off."

Duan Yunfeng coldly laughed, a dazzling blade of light directly slashing towards the abbot's skull. The abbot, focused on dealing with Su Xin's swordsmanship, was unable to wield his stone staff and block the incoming blade.

But at this moment, a layer of hazy golden light suddenly appeared on the surface of that great monk's body.

Ding!

Duan Yunfeng's long sword slashed through that layer of golden light, producing a metallic clashing sound. The great monk even turned his head and winked playfully at Duan Yunfeng.

"Damn it..."

Duan Yunfeng's eyes widened in astonishment.

……d Breaker one day, how strong will Su Xin be thenThat's simply unimaginable.At that time… Su Xin, who had slain the Silver Moon Marquis, moved his mind, and the blood cloud rolled, already taking down...
