Shu Feng sped along at an astonishing pace. After a while, the four people chasing him were forced to circulate their Spiritual Power to bolster their physical abilities, just to barely keep up.

After racing for dozens of miles, Shu Feng plunged into a forest. He weaved through the trees for a moment before vanishing completely from the four experts’ perception.

"He got away! Third Bro, you’re up!"

A tall, burly middle-aged man with a long scar on his face and a savage air about him frowned and barked the order.

A gaunt man with a sinister expression began chanting a mysterious incantation, then pointed a finger. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Wisps of gray mist appeared, coalescing in the air to form a single, mysterious eyeball that gazed toward the forest.

Countless streams of information flowed into the mysterious eyeball, but it found nothing.

The sinister man, Third Bro, said, "I found nothing! It seems that kid has a Secret Technique or a Secret Treasure to conceal himself. My Eye of Tracking is useless!"

The middle-aged man said with a look of regret, "As expected of a genius from the Void Demon Hunting List. He really is a tricky one. If we can’t find him, then so be it. Let’s go!"

Third Bro pointed a finger, and the Eye of Tracking dissolved into a gray mist that flowed back into his body.

"Not so fast. Why have the four of you been following me?"

Shu Feng suddenly appeared at the top of a large tree, looking down on the four of them from his high vantage point. He spoke calmly.

A tall, simple-faced middle-aged man spoke with great sincerity, "Hello, Shu Feng. We are the North Mountain Four Heroes! We’ve come to help Spirit Saint Wu Zhongchao find the Profound Spirit Red Jade Grass. You have a powerful Summoning Technique and are a Heaven-level Spirit Ability User, so we were hoping we could cooperate with you and search for treasure together in the Void Demon Hunting Ground."

Shu Feng said, "I intend to travel through the Void Demon Hunting Ground alone. So, you should leave."

"Such a wary little one. A pity you’re still so inexperienced! Tee hee, your life is mine!"

A laugh like silver bells echoed from behind Shu Feng. A beautiful, still-charming woman in her thirties materialized like a Ghost from the tree behind him. Dagger in hand, she plunged the blade into Shu Feng’s heart. With a vicious twist, she pulped the organ. A look of disbelief on his face, Shu Feng fell from the tree.

The simple-faced second brother of the North Mountain Four Heroes let a savage grin spread across his face. "Another useless genius who aims higher than he can reach!"

The North Mountain Four Heroes hailed from the Lower Class. Without the backing of any powerful patrons, they had all still managed to advance to the Spirit Sect realm, a feat that required hardships far beyond imagination. To obtain Cultivation Resources, they had slaughtered countless geniuses of the Human Race. Their most practiced move was to warmly approach young prodigies, and once they earned their trust, they would literally stab them in the back, killing them and plundering all their possessions.

"Fourth Sister, run!"

The leader of the North Mountain Four Heroes, the scarred middle-aged man, suddenly paled and roared.

Ripples spread through the air as the Steel Beast, having already completed its Two-stage Transformation, appeared behind the charming woman and slashed down viciously.

The beautiful woman’s face went pale. She activated her Spirit Shield Technique, and a cyan Spiritual Membrane appeared around her body, resembling a mysterious, ancient tree.

The Steel Beast brought its blade down, cleaving the mysterious ancient tree in two. The beautiful woman shrieked as her body was also split down the middle, her halves falling to the ground as a corpse.

"Fourth Sister!! You damned beast!!"

A savage glint flashed in the eyes of the simple-faced second brother. He let out a heart-rending roar as Spirit Patterns surged over his body. His frame swelled, transforming him into a burly, two-meter-tall giant. He brandished a large black blade and charged directly at the Steel Beast.

A sinister glint flashed in the eyes of the third brother. He took out a Magic Staff, chanted an incantation, and pointed it toward the Steel Beast.

A volley of incredibly sharp Ice Cones flew like cannonballs, hurtling toward the Steel Beast.

The Steel Beast swung its Steel Scythe in a wild frenzy, shattering the volley of Ice Cones to pieces.

A ripple flickered in the air, and Hassina appeared like a Ghost beside the third brother of the North Mountain Four Heroes. She executed the Overlord Dragon Swordsmanship. With a single slash, the sound of a dragon’s cry echoed as she unleashed a Dragon-shaped Sword Qi that shot toward him.

The leader of the North Mountain Four Heroes suddenly burst into action, his sword thrusting toward Hassina as fast as lightning.

CLANG!!

A terrifyingly loud crash rang out. The leader of the North Mountain Four Heroes was blasted more than ten meters away by the force of the blow. His hands trembled, and his eyes flashed with shock. ’How is this little girl’s Power so terrifying?’

The leader of the North Mountain Four Heroes had once slain a genius from Blue Star and obtained a vial of Giant Dragon Blood. His physical prowess had skyrocketed as a result, and he had never since been outmatched in a direct contest of strength. Yet now, Hassina had sent him flying with a single blow, leaving him completely shaken.

A cold light flashed in Hassina’s beautiful eyes as she lunged forward, unleashing a storm of sword strikes against the leader of the North Mountain Four Heroes, each blow accompanied by the cry of a dragon. She was the vessel for a reviving Divine Spirit, had absorbed a great deal of the Blood of the Divine Spirit, and even possessed Divinity. Her potential for evolution was terrifying—the more she fought, the stronger she became.

With a shimmer of ripples, Shu Feng, clad in his Illusion Armor, appeared next to the third brother. Wielding the sword [Bao Feng], he brutally executed Great Sun Across the Sky, slashing down at his target.

The third brother’s expression changed drastically. His Mage Robe pulsed with a gray light, and he vanished from his spot, instantly reappearing a hundred meters away.

A short-range random Teleportation Technique. This was one of the life-saving spells used by Mages in the Gulondo World, and it was often inscribed on their Magic Robes.

The very instant the third brother appeared, a ray of black moonlight shot out from a nearby thicket. In a flash, it struck him right between the eyebrows, pierced through his head, and killed him on the spot.

Camilla stood silently in the woods, holding the [Dark Moon Bow]. Two crescent moons were reflected in her pupils. Her figure flickered, then vanished.

Shu Feng glanced over at the second brother. He was fighting desperately against the Steel Beast but was being forced back step by step, clearly unable to last much longer.

’Illusion Technique!’

Two vortexes appeared in Shu Feng’s eyes as he looked at the second brother.

Illusions swarmed the second brother’s vision. His body shuddered, and he only snapped out of it a moment later.
