, he was happy.Su Xin also smiled and answered one by one, his mood was equally joyful.Xu XinXia Mang walked to Su Xin's face.“Well, Xia Mang, do you have any more complaints” Duan Yunfeng looked at X...Inside the hunting ground.

"We found someone, only one person."

"Huh The other side also discovered us, and knowing they couldn't win, they've already started to run."

"Haha, catch up!"

A squad of four geniuses, through a talisman, sensed that someone ahead was fleeing and immediately chased after them.

They soon caught up with the other party.

"Just a sea becoming vast"

These four prodigies were all surprised, but at this moment the one who had been escaping from them, Hai Da Cheng in his peak state, had stopped running and even turned around, offering them a playful smile.

Something's fishy!

All four of them immediately sensed something was wrong. At the same time, they also noticed another person appearing nearby, rushing towards them at high speed. In just a moment, he appeared in their sight.

"It's Duan Yunfeng!"

"This hunt definitely qualifies for the top ten, Duan Yunfeng!"

"Trap, this is a trap!!"

The four geniuses all changed color.

They aren't stupid; they can see that this Huhai Da Cheng in front of them is just bait to lure them in.

While the four of them were not weak in terms of strength, with two having even passed the second level of the Seeking Dragon Tower, they had no confidence whatsoever when facing Duan Yunfeng.

"Hurry up and leave!" The four of them immediately began to flee.

To their surprise, the 'Hailing Great Accomplishment' who they thought was only baiting them, directly charged at them.

"Die!"

"Even Duan Yunfeng is nothing, just a mere cultivator who has achieved the Sea of Transformation, daring to block our path!"

"Kill him!"

All four of them made their move directly, simultaneously unleashing their killing blows.

Though facing four opponents, Su Xin appeared quite relaxed and composed. His long sword flashed in his hand.

His form was like a rock, his sword intent sweeping across everything, as if it had stirred up waves of sword energy.

Here we go!

Four consecutive impacts sounded, but Su Xin easily blocked the attacks of the four. His steps didn't even retreat, instead, he continued to attack, a rolling wave covering the four, forcing them to desperately defend themselves.

"How is that possible"

All four of them were a little stunned.

Theoretically, with all four of them unleashing their full power and killer moves, even if the intelligence report stated that it was enough to challenge the top 50 talented hunters, they shouldn't have been able to block it this easily. However, this Grandmaster of the Sea Transformation Realm not only effortlessly blocked their attacks but also casually displayed swordsmanship that forced them to scramble for defense.

With Su Xin's presence blocking their way, the four of them couldn't escape immediately. Duan Yunfeng rushed over and killed them right away.

In just a moment, these four people were killed and eliminated by Su Xin and Duan Yunfeng working together.

"Haha, that feels good!"

Duan Yunfeng was counting the talismans left behind by the four people while chuckling, "If I were alone, these four would have bolted at the sight of me. Even if I gave chase with all my might, they'd scatter and escape. At most, I could kill only one of them. But now, with you as bait and able to intercept them first, none of them will get away."

Su Xin nodded with a smile as well.

If there was no Duan Yunfeng… only he by himself, then even if the four of them charged at him proactively, at most he could kill one or two people in the first instance. To completely eliminate all four, it would be very difficult to achieve.

Soon, Lin Fu finished counting the items, and the two divided them equally.

Next, the two continued to follow their previous plan. Su Xin remained the bait to lure those genius squads to attack, and then Duan Yunfeng would appear to fight alongside him.

"It's a trap!"

"Duan Yunfeng, to actually use a vast sea of transformation to deliberately set up a trap"

"One Duan Yunfeng was already tough enough, but this Huahai Dacheng is also so powerful And they're teaming up This is too much!"

These talented individuals who were initially attracted but ultimately eliminated by Su Xin and Duan Yunfeng were very unwilling, but they had no way to change the situation.

Su Xin and Duan Yunfeng were too lazy to pay attention.

Over several attempts, the process went smoothly, and few were able to escape their grasp.

Both of them had received more than a hundred talismans, meaning that as long as they weren't killed or eliminated halfway, they would definitely pass the first stage of the hunt.

Of course, they both really didn't care about the number of tokens, and even this first stage hunt they didn't take seriously at all.

Their only hope was to encounter some formidable top-tier powerhouses during this first stage of the hunt, and then try their best to eliminate those powerhouses first.

"Su Xin, why have you been using your defensive swordsmanship in every fight lately" Duan Yunfeng suddenly asked.

He noticed that when stopping those talented teams from escaping, Su Xin used the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

"Can Duan Yunfeng had fought Su Xin before, knowing that Su Xin was more proficient in Lei Huo Juan. Su Xin could have easily used Lei Huo Juan at the beginning to kill those geniuses."

"Let me be honest with you, I've reached a bottleneck in my comprehension of the Shan Hai Scroll Defensive Swordsmanship. It's not far from a breakthrough now. I have a feeling that if I spar with some truly top-tier experts a few times, this swordsmanship of mine might just break through," Su Xin said.

"Is that so" Duan Yunfeng understood.

When swordsmanship reaches a bottleneck, it naturally requires honing to break through.

……

Su Xin and Duan Yunfeng's combination continued to run rampant in the hunting ground.

And just as this first stage of the hunt was coming to an end on the third afternoon, they finally encountered a true top-tier genius.

"Tang Xuan!"

This hunt also has the opportunity to challenge the top ten elite geniuses. In terms of strength, even compared to Duan Yunfeng, it is very close to Su Xin's gaze fixed on a tall and cold man in front of him, holding a long spear.

According to the report, Tang Xuan did have the qualifications to break into the top ten. However, the report stated that there were almost twenty geniuses who had the potential to reach the top ten. In the end, no one could say for sure who would make it into the top ten. The report was just a rough estimate of their strength level.

But among these talented individuals who are qualified to challenge the top ten, Duan Yunfeng and Tu San from Prince Qi's Mansion, both in terms of achievements and strength, are the most outstanding and convincing.

So, overall, Duan Yunfeng is still slightly stronger than Tang Xuan.

"Tang Xuan, I didn't expect to meet you in the first stage of the hunt. Your luck isn't very good," Duan Yunfeng grinned.

The stern-faced, armed man Tang Xuan was also intently staring at Duan Yunfeng.

As for Su Xin, he was a master who had accomplished great things but wasn't recorded in that report, so he was simply overlooked.

"Duan Yunfeng, are you going to fight me" Tang Xuan snorted coldly.

Perhaps in terms of strength, Duan Yunfeng is slightly stronger. However, the gap between them is very small. If they truly fought, he wouldn't be afraid.

"A battle with you No, no, no. I want more than just a battle with you. I want to kill you, eliminate you," Duan Yunfeng said.

"Kill me As if you're capable" Tang Xuan scoffed.

"I can't do it alone, but…" Duan Yunfeng's words were cut short as his figure shot out.

Wow!

The blade flashed brilliantly, cutting directly through.

"You think I'm afraid of you!"

Tang Xuan was not afraid at all. He immediately charged forward, the long spear in his hand whirring with power. Boom! Boom! Boom! Though it was a spear, when he wielded it, it resembled a colossal iron hammer, wildly and relentlessly smashing out again and again, its imposing might astonishing to behold.

Duan Yunfeng's spiritual energy surged, his strength reaching the threshold of the Void Breaking Realm. Wielding his long sword, its blade radiance was incredibly powerful, even more dazzling and exquisite.

Although the two fought fiercely, Tang Xuan was only slightly disadvantaged.

But just then...

A sword light flashed silently.

"What"

Tang Xuan was greatly surprised.

This sword light appeared too suddenly.

And the speed, too fast!

The implied meaning is even more profound and unfathomable.

Even in a direct confrontation, he would have to give it his all to deflect the sword light. But now, he was fully focused on battling Duan Yunfeng, and suddenly this sword appeared...

Whoosh!!

Tang Xuanmeng unleashed a terrifying aura, using his ultimate move to block Duan Yunfeng's blade while with great difficulty contorting his body to evade the silent sword light.

Although he managed to escape, Tang Xuan was still shaken by the experience.

"It's him!"

"Was that sword strike just now his doing"

It was then that Tang Xuan saw that the one who had just unleashed that sword technique was none other than "Haihua Dacheng," who he had previously disregarded and even completely ignored at first.

"Humph, you're quick," Su Xin sneered coldly.

"This Tang Xuan is underestimating you," Duan Yunfeng chuckled, "Su Xin, the two of us should work together and eliminate this talented individual who's qualified to be in the top ten hunters."

"Hao Su nodded. "

They both made their move instantly.

Tang Xuan could no longer remain calm. He exerted every ounce of his strength to battle Su Xin and Duan Yunfeng.

The more he could fight, the more anxious he became.

Duan Yunfeng gave up, he already knew Duan Yunfeng's strength. One-on-one, he wasn't afraid of Duan Yunfeng.

Now that there's Su Xin, who has clearly only achieved the cultivation level of a Sea Transformation Stage...

"What terrifying swordsmanship!"

"This artistic conception... he has definitely reached the first level of understanding, much higher than me!"

"Mingming is only a cultivator at the peak of the Sea Transformation realm, but his power burst is no weaker than any Sea Transformation peak expert. He should still be a bloodline awakener!"

"These two individuals, against either one of them, I have no chance of winning. And if they team up, I wouldn't even be able to escape."

Tang Xuen panicked.

He never expected that with his own abilities, in this imperial city's hunt, merely during the first stage of the hunt, he would be driven to such a desperate situation.

Even, it's about to be eliminated.

"Duan Yunfeng, and that swordsman kid, the two of you at least have the strength to impact the top ten in this hunt. Alone in this hunting ground, either one of you could walk sideways! And yet you're teaming up..."

"Shameless, you are all so shameless!!"

Tang Xuan could only roar with madness.

Besides roaring, he had no other way.

"Shameless" Duan Yunfeng sneered, "So what if I'm shameless"

He has a quirky temper and does whatever he wants, not caring at all what others think.

But Su Xin suddenly stopped at this moment.

"Tang Xuan, I can give you a chance," Su Xin spoke up, "I have a defensive sword technique. If you can break through it head-on, I will let you go."

"Hmm" Tang Xuan glanced at Su Xin, "You're serious"

Of course, Su Xin nodded.

Tang Xuan looked at Duan Yunfeng again.

Don't look at me, since he said so, I definitely won't object. Duan Yunfeng looked indifferent.

He already knew that Su Xin's defensive swordsmanship had hit a bottleneck, and now he clearly wanted to use Tang Xuan to hone that sword technique. He naturally supported Su Xin.

And to be honest, this Tang Xuan, he doesn't really matter to me. Even if I let him leave now, during the later stages of the hunt, Tang Xuan wouldn't be a threat at all.

"Strike, Su Xin! Draw your sword."

Let me see just how strong your defensive swordsmanship is!

Tang Xuan's eyes were cold, his figure stomped, and the long spear in his hand instantly resembled a dragon.

Boom!

A cold light flashed, and a terrifying aura suddenly erupted.

Tang Xuan, excels at offense. He is supremely confident in his attack methods. While the person before him has achieved great mastery in "Hailing" (化海), with swordsmanship and profound comprehension of kendo, Tang Xuan doesn't believe their defensive swordsmanship can fully withstand his gunplay.

However, the truth was… no matter how fierce and intimidating his marksmanship was, it couldn't break through Su Xin's swordsmanship defense.

Su Xin's swordsmanship is like a towering mountain.

Even though he unleashed his strongest ultimate move, it couldn't budge the mountain even a little.

After half an incense stick.

That's it for now.

Su Xin looked at Tang Xuan coldly, a trace of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

This Tang Xuan's strength is weaker than he imagined. Although his marksmanship is domineering and powerful, his understanding of the artistic conception is not very high, and it can't bring him much pressure at all.

He didn't face much pressure, so he couldn't hone his skills through trial by fire. His swordsmanship remained stagnant.

While Tang Xuan was a little dumbfounded.

Soon, Su Xin and Duan Yunfeng made their move simultaneously, eliminating this prodigy who, according to the intel, was qualified to challenge for the top ten hunters.

…… also at the foot of the sixth sacred mountain.He didn't directly leap into the air towards the peak, but instead started from the base of the mountain and walked step by step along the stairs upwards...
