Xun Ying stood up, a strange smile on his face, and said, "You actually delivered yourself to my doorstep. This truly surprises me."
Huang Hun's face turned ashen. While it seemed like there was nothing around him, he was actually already locked down by Xun Ying's sword intent. Now, even if he stumbled and fell, he would be riddled with holes.
"Since I've fallen into your hands, kill me or torture me as you please."
Xun Ying scoffed, "You idiot, you're quite tough. You were suddenly teleported here, and the Qiling Pearl isn't in your possession... you've been set up, haven't you."
Huang Hun turned his head away, not looking at Xun Ying's face, clearly unwilling to cooperate with Xun Ying's questioning.
"Even if you don't say anything, the outcome won't change. At most, I..."
Before Xun Ying could finish speaking, a martial general phantom suddenly appeared behind Huang Hun. This phantom burrowed into his body, and Huang Hun instantly transformed into a giant tens of meters tall!
The sword intents surrounding him were repelled by his body's robust vitality. Then, he swung an axe the size of a building at Xun Ying!
The massive axe tore through the air as it descended, its immense wind pressure enough to destroy everything around it. However, Xun Ying showed no panic, merely shaking his head with a sigh.
"To choose resistance, how pitifully foolish... but for someone like you, it would be harder to capture you without a struggle."
As the axe fell, causing widespread destruction, Xun Ying's figure had already appeared behind Huang Hun.
The giant sword that was struck by the colossal axe didn't even budge.
"Do you think by becoming bigger, you become stronger."
Xun Ying brought his index and middle fingers together and pointed at Huang Hun from a distance, softly uttering a few words: "Sixth Sword Style, Sword Prison."
Five massive light swords descended from the sky, piercing into Huang Hun from his four limbs and head, pinning him firmly to the ground. His colossal body toppled over, causing the earth to tremble as if from an earthquake.
Then, an even larger light sword fell again, piercing through Huang Hun's torso, instantly rendering him unconscious.
As consciousness faded, Huang Hun's body began to shrink, and the six light swords on him also shrunk, before transforming into white light and drilling back into Huang Hun's body.
On his chest, forehead, wrists, and ankles, sword marks appeared!
These sword marks suppressed Huang Hun's physical strength, superpower, and mental power. Huang Hun was now, at most, just a stronger-than-average ordinary person.
As long as Xun Ying remained alive, the sword marks would remain, and Huang Hun would be unable to recover his strength.
"It will likely take some time to extract key information from him. I just don't know if anything will happen during this time, but..."
"Perhaps I am looking forward to something happening!"
Due to his overwhelming strength, Xun Ying hadn't had a real fight in a long time!
...
Following the clues provided by Cang Yan, Wen Wen quietly infiltrated the vicinity of the volcano.
To Wen Wen's surprise, Cang Yan's intelligence was accurate!
He had expected that either Huang Hun wouldn't be there, or that there would be a trap specifically designed to harm hunters.
However, there was nothing of the sort!
Near the cave entrance, there were indeed many intricate camouflage measures. But knowing the cave existed, these measures were as good as useless.
Wen Wen easily found the cave and confirmed that Huang Hun was inside!
"To find him so easily, it seems these rebellious hunters aren't united either. They are destined to achieve nothing significant."
However, to be safe, Wen Wen did not approach the cave himself. Instead, he released a scarab beetle puppet to scout the situation inside the cave.
The temperature here was too high; if he used a rat puppet, it would likely die within twenty seconds at most.
Through the beetle puppet, Wen Wen finally saw Huang Hun's lineup and sensed the astonishing power within Huang Hun's body.
"Even if I can absorb disaster energy, facing Huang Hun directly would be suicidal. I'll try to get close, touch him, and then escape, and then inform Xun Ying of his location."
Thus, Wen Wen stealthily released his chain, preparing to quietly poke Huang Hun in the backside and flee.
As for why he chose to poke the backside instead of other places, that was due to Wen Wen's mischievous nature.
However, as soon as Wen Wen released the chain, he suddenly stopped and then concealed himself properly, continuing to observe.
This was because Iyeta, cloaked in a black robe, appeared!
So, using the beetle's body as a vantage point, Wen Wen watched a dog-eat-dog drama of villains fighting amongst themselves, which greatly satisfied his gossipy heart.
It wasn't until Huang Hun was teleported away and the Qiling Pearl was picked up that Wen Wen's heart began to burn with excitement.
This woman named Iyeta possessed strength at the Disaster Upper Order. While she was indeed stronger than Wen Wen, her strength was definitely not to the point where Wen Wen wouldn't dare to act against her, unlike Huang Hun!
Perhaps Wen Wen could snatch the Qiling Pearl from Iyeta!
"That woman is a spatial-type ability user, and the blue monster's physique is also spatial-type. Although the blue monster should be weaker than her, it can at least cause some interference to her abilities..."
"As long as I can interfere with her, then with my diverse abilities, a surprise attack might just allow me to snatch the Qiling Pearl from her!"
With his mind made up, Wen Wen crouched like a leopard before a hunt, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
After all, his opponent possessed strength at the Disaster Upper Order, making her stronger than Wen Wen. Wen Wen had to wait for a moment of laxity from her to ensure a successful strike.
Because Wen Wen likely wouldn't get a second chance.
...
After driving Huang Hun away, Iyeta was overjoyed. She picked up the Qiling Pearl and began to fiddle with it, like a wild cat playing with a ball of yarn.
However, after playing for a short while, her expression became serious.
Now that she had obtained the Qiling Pearl, it was time for her to begin the summoning ritual.
With the immense energy of the Qiling Pearl, she would undoubtedly be able to bring a Disaster expert under a Heavenly Lord into the real world.
Furthermore, the energy of the Qiling Pearl could also strengthen that Disaster expert, allowing them to better establish themselves in this world!
In the Inner World, Disaster experts had to live cautiously under the pressure of the Supreme Lord.
But in this world, Disaster-level experts were the apex of the world. Therefore, as long as an invitation was extended, most Disaster-level experts would not refuse to come to the real world. Sultan Novel Network
With just one Disaster-level expert present, Iyeta's hidden organization would have a backbone, and they would no longer be weak, pathetic, and helpless, suffering bullying from all sides.
For this, Iyeta was willing to pay anything.
"We have been pathetic enough. Today marks the turning point!"
She took out the sacrificial materials she had prepared from her personal space, assembled them into an altar, and placed the Qiling Pearl at the center of the altar.
She was preparing to summon a subordinate god under the Heavenly Lord, which was—a Disaster-level creature!
