Looking around, it was all desolate. The withered weeds were scorched yellow from the scorching sun and lack of water, yet they stubbornly took root.

The Seven-Colored Spirit Sparrow landed, and as the few people stepped onto the ground, they immediately felt waves of heat.

"This place is as weird as ever."

Du Guang Kang frowned. The chaotic spiritual energy between heaven and earth made it difficult for him to adapt.

"According to the mission prompt, we'll be approaching the Tiger Dragon's lair in another five kilometers. Let's be careful and not expose ourselves."

Su Tong said to the three of them, then walked at the very front.

The few people followed. Although they concealed their presence, their speed was not slow.

In the distance, on a mountain peak, the weeds were desolate.

In the bushes, a person was lying down, holding an instrument and observing the few people in the distance.

"Target locked, no anomalies detected. Requesting authorization for sniper cannon."

"Sniper cannon being set up, please wait."

Following a series of system prompts, a large, silver killing weapon appeared in the bushes.

And Gu You was behind him. Behind him stood more than ten people, all his subordinates.

Qiu Chang Feng, who had concealed his presence, suddenly sensed something and quickly looked in that direction.

His eyes narrowed, and he directly tore through the void, preparing to get close and kill these guys on the spot.

However, the moment he cast his spell to enter the void, Xiang Tian in the team noticed it.

He secretly thought, As expected of the Dean, his concealment techniques are truly brilliant. When I roughly sensed the entire Great Wilderness Mountain Range, I couldn't detect his tracking.

As for Gu You and his group, all their actions from beginning to end were within his control!

He quietly took out the communication jade slip that Qiu Chang Feng had given him earlier and quickly transmitted his thoughts.

"Dean, there's no need to act. Everything is under control."

Qiu Chang Feng, who suddenly received Xiang Tian's transmission, was stunned. Good heavens, Xiang Tian actually noticed my concealment? This... this is too monstrous!

In the end, Qiu Chang Feng gave up. He simply remained hidden in the void, not acting, but continuously observing these guys.

As they got closer, he discovered it was Black Abyss. Regarding this notorious assassin organization, although Qiu Chang Feng hadn't interacted with them much, he had heard a lot and found them extremely detestable. Since Xiang Tian was confident, he would endure for now and wait for an opportunity.

As the group approached not far away, they suddenly saw a cave.

Su Tong spoke, "According to the mission guide, the Tiger Dragon should be just ahead."

"Yo, now, shouldn't we invite our strongest student, Xiang Tian, to scout the situation first?"

At this moment, Lou Yi's sarcastic words came out. Su Tong glared at him, "What are you talking about? How can we let student Xiang Tian take the risk in this situation!"

Du Guang Kang simply pretended to be mute and said nothing.

"It's alright. Taking care of classmates is what I should do."

Unexpectedly, Xiang Tian smiled slightly and directly stepped towards the cave entrance.

Lou Yi looked smug. What an idiot. He got provoked so easily. I really don't know why Su Tong looks favorably upon this kind of guy.

Xiang Tian walked step by step towards the cave entrance.

In the distance, a Black Abyss sniper.

"Target has entered a viable sniping position. Do you wish to snipe?"

"Snipe!"

Gu You commanded.

"Boom!"

With a loud explosion, a white light flashed before the three of them. The ground trembled, and a deafening roar followed.

Smoke and dust billowed everywhere. Su Tong and the other two quickly cast spells to protect themselves, and with a wave of their sleeves, they dispersed the dust.

The scene before them directly stunned the three of them. The cave had collapsed, completely buried by rocks.

"This... this..."

Lou Yi's face turned ashen, and he stammered, unable to speak. The other two were equally pale.

"Launch knockout gas!"

Gu You gave another order. His subordinates behind him were already prepared, and a shell was fired.

Su Tong and the other two felt a wave of dizziness, and then they lost consciousness, collapsing to the ground.

This scene actually startled Qiu Chang Feng greatly. However, he keenly sensed that beneath the pile of giant rocks, there was a power, very hidden and difficult to detect, yet it was filled with an indescribable strength.

These idiots from Black Abyss, who didn't cultivate the Great Dao, naturally couldn't sense it.

Gu You took out a small instrument and activated it. A ripple spread through heaven and earth, and the Divine Armor was directly teleported over.

After equipping the Divine Armor, Gu You flew into the sky and directly arrived at the mountain of giant rocks.

"Warning, warning, violent spiritual energy fluctuations detected nearby."

Inside the Divine Armor, Gu You was startled by the system's sudden prompt. Before he could even react, a deafening roar sounded, and all the giant stones shot directly towards him.

Gu You quickly waved his fists, shattering them one by one, but there were too many. He could only temporarily evade their sharpest point.

As the giant stones dispersed, Xiang Tian stood straight in his original spot, a smile on his face, without a speck of dirt around him.

Gu You looked down at the young man from above. "As expected, you haven't disappointed me. You're not that easy to deal with, which makes me even more motivated!"

Xiang Tian, on the other hand, had a look of helplessness. "However, your Black Abyss is a bit disappointing."

"Sharp-tongued!"

Gu You snorted coldly. A cylindrical component detached from the right arm of his Divine Armor, and he grasped it, swinging it forcefully. A whip of Source energy appeared, lashing directly at Xiang Tian.

Xiang Tian was no pushover either. Seeing the whip coming, he actually reached out and grabbed it, pulling with all his might.

His action completely stunned Gu You. He can catch this?

Immediately after, Xiang Tian began to gather his strength, charging straight into the sky. Using the whip, he slammed Gu You towards a nearby mountain peak.

"Boom!"

The mountain stones collapsed. This time, it was Gu You's turn to be buried.

Lying beneath the rubble, Gu You felt soreness all over his body. Although protected by the Divine Armor, the force was indeed a bit too great.

"This kid has some skill!"

With a furious roar, he burst out of the debris. The Source energy whip had transformed into a great saber, which he brought down towards Xiang Tian.

Xiang Tian drew his immortal sword and met the attack. Sparks flew, and the clang of metal on metal echoed endlessly. In the blink of an eye, dozens of exchanges were over.

Gu You, retreating, found it hard to believe. Is this guy really someone who has just entered the Nascent Soul stage?

The data for his Divine Armor was far superior to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Big brother, it seems you're not quite up to par."

Xiang Tian laughed heartily, taunting Gu You.

"Up to par or not, you'll find out when you try!"

Gu You began to initiate the setup for the Convergence Cannon.

"Convergence Cannon setup in progress, please wait."

Behind him, space flickered, and a phantom appeared, solidifying into a steel monster gleaming with cold light.

It was extremely massive, like a small pavilion. Liquid Source energy circulated wildly within its pipes, emitting a terrifying aura.

In the void, Qiu Changfeng was greatly alarmed. This Black Abyss had actually managed to deploy the Convergence Cannon. This thing was equivalent to a full-power strike from a True Immortal!

He couldn't hold back any longer. If this thing hit Xiang Tian, what would happen?

"Don't intervene, it's nothing!"

But at that moment, he received another message from Xiang Tian.

Xiang Tian looked solemn, and behind him, his Dharma Idol appeared, towering a hundred feet tall, exuding immense power.

"Used up all your tricks, haven't you?"

Seeing Xiang Tian summon his Dharma Idol, Gu You sneered. At this point, the Convergence Cannon was ready.

"I hope you can be strong enough to at least leave a complete corpse!"

Gu You roared with laughter and directly commanded the Convergence Cannon to fire. Meanwhile, Xiang Tian's Dharma Idol also emitted boundless divine radiance to protect himself.

"Swish!"

Heaven and earth instantly lost their color, the entire space trembled, and signs of collapse were faintly visible.

Gu You believed that even if Xiang Tian survived this attack, he would lose half his life!

You've used up one of the Black Abyss's few trump cards, you should be content.

As expected, Gu You saw that after a brief stalemate between Xiang Tian's Dharma Idol and the Convergence Cannon's projectile, hairline cracks began to appear, and its aura rapidly declined.

"Hehehe, kid, give up. You can't possibly withstand this blow."

"Boom!"

The Dharma Idol shattered, and the Convergence Cannon's power undiminished, charging directly at Xiang Tian.

Another deafening explosion caused an entire mountain peak to collapse, and the swirling dust and smoke obscured the sky.

Qiu Changfeng, hidden in the dark, felt his heart pounding. Surely, Xiang Tian will be alright, right?

Seeing this scene, Gu You's mood improved slightly. This was another victory.

But just as he was feeling pleased, a black dot rapidly shot towards him. Its speed was so great that he couldn't react in time. In the blink of an eye, his throat was seized.

He found it unbelievable. How... how is this possible? How could it be Xiang Tian!

"Amazing, truly amazing!"

Seeing the figure holding Gu You, Qiu Changfeng in the void couldn't help but clap and exclaim. This little adult was incredibly formidable!
