Dark clouds loomed down, and the trees in the mountains were dense and thick. The rain pattered loudly on the leaves, splashing up a large area of water mist like thin smoke.

Wang Xuan finally put on clothes and was no longer naked. Now he looked like an alien from the Oula Star again, and he found the clothes more pleasing to the eye.

However, he also packed Yu Hua and Heluo Star's battle suits into his pack, hoping they would come in handy at a crucial moment.

His biggest gain was still the Jade Talisman tokens; he amassed a fortune that would likely surpass Old Zhong's.

Wang Xuan wore a hollowed-out Protective Gear and black and gold soft armor, blending into the dim rain. The pitch-black sky was perfect for hunting!

Along the way, he sensed two extraordinary individuals hiding in the stone forest. They couldn't escape his superhuman senses, and he appeared silently behind them.

"You..." One of them suddenly turned around, his hair standing on end. He was startled and looked at the silent young man in the rain. He backed away in horror.

The other man turned to flee, but a streak of light shot out, piercing the dark forest and severing his head from his skin.

Wang Xuan's Mental Secret Power intertwined with dazzling light, and the short sword flew back into his hand, becoming his unique flying sword.

Although the sword was not engraved with complex flying sword runes, it was still usable for him and was indestructible.

"Don't be afraid," Wang Xuan comforted her in a low voice.

How could anyone not be terrified to see the head of Supernatural Practitioner rolling to their feet? Blood splattered on his face as the head hit the ground.

"How many extraordinary beings have come from the three Supernatural Planet? How many law enforcers are on your side?" Wang Xuan asked patiently.

The superhuman stiffened, goosebumps rising on his skin. Looking at the young face in the rain, he was terrified, but ultimately answered all the questions readily.

Suddenly, a beam of light, like a peacock spreading its tail, burst forth in the rain, extremely dazzling, and shot towards Wang Xuan —it was a dense array of steel needles.

Although very fine, they are all engraved with runes and are made of a mixture of secret copper, steel mother, etc., which can break through the powerful physical body of a superhuman.

This seemingly docile, responsive, and terrified Supernatural Practitioner suddenly launched an attack, attempting a desperate counterattack to kill Wang Xuan.

However, he was disappointed and terrified. Some blurry scenery appeared outside Wang Xuan's body, blocking all the steel needles. As it slowly rotated, the extraordinary killing weapon turned into iron filings and fell to the ground with a rustling sound.

Wang Xuan deliberately left one needle and poked it into his palm, but the needle bent and broke, unable to pierce his body which was beyond gold.

He slapped the pale- Supernatural Practitioner across the face, sending him flying. The superhuman disintegrated in mid-air six meters away, its blood mingling with the rain as it fell to the ground.

Wang Xuan walked towards a mountain range ten miles away. He learned from the man he had just met that an owl who had cultivated for over 150 years lived there and was a powerful enforcer.

In the woods, his steps were powerful and his rhythm was steady, each step covering a fixed distance of several tens of meters.

He climbed up a stone peak, only to find he had come to the wrong place. The owl's nest wasn't there; it should be on the opposite cliff.

He checked the distance; the two peaks stood side by side, adjacent to each other. He stepped back, then accelerated his run-up and leaped into the air.

The two peaks were more than a hundred meters apart. He traversed the rain and mist, passed through the sky, and landed on the opposite mountain with a thud.

Suddenly, a pair of lantern-sized emerald green eyes lit up in a huge cave on the cliff. The old owl was very alert and sensed that something was wrong.

But it was too late. Wang Xuan grabbed a vine from the top of the mountain and slid down in the pouring rain, stepping into the large, dry cave.

"Young man, what brings you here? Is there some injustice you wish to appeal to me? I am a law enforcement officer. Speak, and I will stand up for you."

The old owl's feathers were almost standing on end. Having lived for so long, it was naturally intelligent and sensed a very dangerous aura emanating from the young man.

"When I was a boy, I raided sparrow nests and even returned fallen swallow chicks to their nests under the eaves, but I've never raided such a large owl nest before," Wang Xuan said.

"Young man, what are you saying? I am a law enforcer, upholding the fairness and justice of the Secret Realm. How dare you disrespect me like this?" the owl said coldly.

"You're taking this too far. Don't you know what kind of person you are? You were carrying those superhumans around, chasing after me, helping them find my whereabouts, and now you have the nerve to talk about maintaining order in the secret realm?"

Wang Xuan walked forward, carrying his short sword, and examined the owl that was over ten meters long. Its cat-like face was quite majestic, its sunken eyes were emerald green like will-o'-the-wisps, and its large claws extended out, piercing into the rocky ground.

It spoke coldly, "Aliens, I merely happened to be there, received some benefits, and helped them with a few small favors. How about we let this go? I will no longer get involved in your affairs."

Wang Xuan ignored it and looked around the extraordinary cave, only to find no rare herbs or elixirs, just some leftover monster flesh and blood.

Let this owl go? No way! Once he turns and leaves, it will immediately contact other law enforcement officers to hunt him down.

"Let's get going!" Wang Xuan walked forward, which could be considered as eliminating a scourge for the secret realm and eradicating a cancer among the law enforcers.

"How dare a mere human at the Burning Lamp level act so arrogantly towards me!" The owl, its eyes turning sinister after its turn, lashed out with its Great Claw like lightning. The speed was so fast that energy surged, causing a huge explosion in the void, leaving everything in a white blur.

Clang clang clang!

Sparks flew everywhere. When the owl retracted its claw, it found it was bare, with no sharp claws left—its "nails" had been clipped!

Not only that, blood began to ooze from the paw pads, and then the flesh on its leg began to peel off.

It let out a shrill scream, a small section of one of its legs broke off, its claws were gone, and it was covered in blood, leaving it standing on one leg.

At the early stage of herb gathering, the old owl was far weaker than the top herb gathering experts that Wang Xuan had killed. Its whole body glowed, crackling with electricity, and its feathers stood up like blades, emitting bright beams of light.

It resembled a monster with its body riddled with long swords, wreathed in beams of lightning, as it lunged at Wang Xuan.

But it was all in vain. Wang Xuan used the second True Form Diagrams, mainly to activate his Mental Secret Power, accompanied by a strange scene: volcanoes appeared in front of him, with boiling lava, and most importantly, a huge red sun fell and crashed into the crater.

Boom!

The owl was enveloped by the strange sight, struck, and let out a piercing scream. A terrible bloody hole was punched in its forehead, from which wisps of white smoke rose. The red sun pierced through its skull, incinerating the matter in its spiritual realm.

Puff!

Wang Xuan swung his sword, and a bright flash of light sliced through the air, severing its enormous head.

He turned and disappeared into the rain.

A crow cawed loudly as it flew into the Earth Immortal City, its shrill cry disturbing many cultivators. The city housed not only extraordinary beings but also mortal masters who had come to broaden their horizons following their elders.

"What happened?" someone asked, looking at the rain.

"It's truly remarkable that the natives who discovered this alien planet could survive the hive!" someone whispered.

"The Raven Clan's enforcers personally went to hunt him down. It seems that alien's good luck has run out. He shouldn't have shown himself. Now he can't escape his Calamity of Slaughter!"

Before the old crow went to hunt down Wang Xuan, it sent its descendants to the Earth Immortal City to deliver a message, telling them to prepare to receive the head, which is why it has now caused a slight disturbance.

"He came out alive, but he's about to die again. Let's go take a look." Yuan Kun, the genius of Heluo Star, shouted. His two-meter-tall body exuded a wild aura. He had just recovered from his injuries and set off with a group of extraordinary individuals.

Ou Yun called to his sister and said, "That alien is strange. His physical body is ridiculously strong. He can withstand several attacks from a herb-gathering expert. His cultivation path is very complicated. Let's go and see if we can gain anything and obtain a peerless secret manual from this alien world."

In another building, Jiang Xuan also spoke up, saying, "Mu Xue, he has appeared again. That short sword may have an amazing origin, and it might be a priceless treasure. Let's try to get our hands on it."

The three groups from Earth Immortal City left the city one after another, avoiding each other, and rushed into the mountains and forests. They were on guard against each other, as they were already rivals and had fought several times in the past two days, resulting in some deaths.

They only cooperate briefly when dealing with aliens, fearing that a large force of aliens might arrive later.

They had barely left the city when crows entered again, flapping their wings frantically, searching for people from Yuhua, Euler, and Heluo Star, looking extremely anxious.

It was a messenger who had flown back from the scene of the old crow's tragic death, heartbroken and eager to report the details and avenge their ancestor.

"What?! Old Crow is dead? Killed by that young man?!" Some people in the Earth Immortal City were shocked, their minds trembling. How could this be?

"He's dead! Our ancestor is dead! It's a terrible sight. His head was cut off, and blood stained the ground. The person who brought the news even complained, saying that crows eat carrion, that the flesh is sour, dirty, and inedible." The crow that brought the news was so frightened that it was incoherent.

The experts in the city captured its spiritual senses and saw those scenes, and they all gasped in shock.

"Go and provide support quickly! Although some herb-gathering experts have left the city, if they are caught off guard and ambushed, the consequences could be dire!" The people in the Earth Immortal City were anxious.

They began to plead for help, seeking more allies to leave the city and hunt down the alien monster together.

Snap!

A bolt of lightning flashed across the rain, illuminating the dark forest. Figures moved swiftly; the Supernatural Practitioner Heluo Star were moving fast, eager to reach the scene first and retrieve the alien's short sword and any possible inheritance.

Yuan Kun's face was cold, and his eyes gleamed with a hint of green. He himself didn't care about the short sword; he simply wanted to see that native die.

Earlier, he was beaten so badly that he coughed up a lot of blood, broke several bones, and almost destroyed his "Immortal Body" which he had been cultivating. He was weak for two days and coughed up blood from time to time.

As Wang Xuan walked through the mountains and forests, he sensed powerful blood energy in the distance and detected extraordinary energy fluctuations, indicating that a group of extraordinary individuals were traveling at high speed.

His expression was cold, and he naturally guessed that the people in the Earth Immortal City had received the news and rushed over in the rain. Did they want to hunt him down, or were they just throwing their lives away?

He approached silently, observing from the shadows, and immediately spotted Yuan Kun and a highly skilled herb gatherer beside him.

He temporarily ignored the others; those at the Mist and Lantern Burning Realm posed no threat, and those at the Life Earth level were nothing special.

Judging from the route this group took, they were clearly heading towards the place where the old crow was killed.

Faced with a group of extraordinary individuals, Wang Xuan prepared to strike swiftly, first hunting down the strongest among them, and then reaping the lives of the remaining enemies one by one.

Wang Xuan quickly changed into the battle suit of Heluo Star, and then made his way forward in the torrential rain. In addition, there were many people here, so he followed them and blended into the scattered Supernatural Practitioner. At first, no one noticed him!

Because these extraordinary individuals were unfamiliar with each other and came from all over the Heluo Star.

Wang Xuan silently approached Yuan Kun and the herb-gathering expert, but naturally, he didn't rush over abruptly.

In the dark forest, with torrential rain pouring down, Wang Xuan made his way to Yuan Kun and the herb-gathering expert.

He didn't wait any longer, and suddenly launched an attack. The bright sword light in his hand was more dazzling and terrifying than the lightning in the sky, and he slashed down diagonally.

Puff!

Blood splattered, the change was too shocking and too sudden. No one expected that there would be enemies nearby. They were clearly all their own people wearing the same battle armor.

The herb-gathering expert's arm was severed, and he let out an angry roar, his face contorted in pain.

This was a peak herb gatherer, capable of breaking through to a higher realm. His spiritual perception was astonishing. He managed to dodge a fatal sword strike aimed at his neck, and his right arm was ultimately severed, which was already considered a lightning-fast reaction.

"It's you, alien demon, ahhh..." he roared, his whole body glowing, his flames boiling, evaporating the rain in the sky, and his remaining hand slammed towards Wang Xuan.

Beside him, Yuan Kun's face was covered in blood, splattered by the herb-gathering expert, though the rain quickly washed it away. But the blood in his heart, and that god-like figure, remained indelible, etched into his soul.

His heart was pounding, his body was trembling, he was terrified!

How could this be? He hadn't seen this alien for a few days, and now this alien was able to kill a herb-gathering expert. He was terrified and screamed as he quickly retreated.

The flames boiled, drying up the nearby rain and turning the ground red with magma. The herb-gathering expert was enraged and attacked Wang Xuan with all his might.

Wang Xuan's expression was indifferent. Ever since he severed one of his opponent's arms, he knew that the outcome of the battle was already decided.

This man had burned his back black at the Hive, severely injuring him, but now he's back to fight back!

Sizzle!

Wang Xuan did not approach, avoiding the lava field. Several strange phenomena appeared together, combining with the flying sword, like a celestial sword, carrying starlight and several Small World, sweeping across the sky!

Puff!

The Spiritual Wonders suppressed the attack, and the flying sword, its edge sharp, drew a large amount of blood from the severely injured herb-gathering expert who had lost his right arm.

"Kill!" The herb-gathering expert swayed and charged forward again.

At that moment, sword energy shot into the night sky, tearing through the rain and illuminating the darkness.

In the distance, many people saw the sword light, as sharp as lightning, entangled fiercely, tearing apart the mountains and forests. The sword light was like a dragon, like starlight, dazzling and awe-inspiring.

Puff!

In the end, this expert herb gatherer was beheaded as the flying sword swept past him! He died with his eyes wide open, his headless body falling to the ground, his head flying seven or eight meters away and landing in a puddle.

Having escaped far away, Yuan Kun's face turned deathly pale. Without uttering a word, he plunged headlong into the dense forest. He didn't look back, only thinking of escaping back to the Earth Immortal City, never wanting to face that terrifying man again.

However, he had only escaped a short distance when he spotted the Dao Body blocking his way. In the torrential rain and lightning, the young man was as terrifying as a god or demon, his eyes cold, as he swung his short sword at him.

"No!" he roared, dodging and resisting the deadly blow with all his might.

Puff!

His head still flew off, and he ended his life with fear and resentment, his body lying in the mud.

Wang Xuan turned around, like a ghost, silently appearing and disappearing in the mountains and forests, his sword flashing intermittently.

"Ah!"

Screams rose and fell; he killed most of the people, with only a few escaping under the cover of rain.

After looting the Jade Talisman, Wang Xuan turned and strode off in another direction, preparing to hunt down another approaching group!
