High-tier players each had their strengths, but none were bad at escaping and staying alive

Are "Diviner" really that good?

This is not a difficult question to answer. His second-place ranking on the list before the "forum" was shut down speaks volumes.

At least in Shen Bingmiao's view, apart from the "General," the strongest among all the "Player" is the "Diviner."

The "General" is currently the only "Tier 5" among the "Player" and is God of Power has ascended to the Divine Realm.

In other words, this is the person Shen Bingmiao has personally designated as "the number one person below the Deity."

The strongest "Tier 4".

As the "God of Games and Rules," Shen Bingmiao's judgment was naturally incredibly accurate.

But...

As the strongest non- Deity "Player" right now, would the "Diviner" have a chance of winning against the combined forces of "Feng Shui Master" Jian Cunyi and Yun Fengyang, the "Number One Fang Techniques Practitioner Under Heaven in the Prison Mountain Realm before the Chaos of Huotian"?

These two were already quite strong. Although Jian Cunyi was ranked lower than him, all of his methods were specifically designed and targeted at him.

Although Yun Fengyang has been imprisoned in the Eternal Prison for an unknown period of time and has not fought anyone for a long time, judging from his current state, which is probably not much different from his peak, betting on his current strength seems to be a bad choice.

Even so...

The "Diviner" remained Leng Jing, still believing that he might be able to fight back based on his own abilities.

"This place was set up by me... The Earth Vein Power and the Formation are now under my control. Although Yun Fengyang is Native of the Prison Mountain Realm, in terms of 'geographical advantage,' I should have the greater advantage."

"But... although both of them are difficult to deal with, I don't need to finish this quickly. I just need to drag it out, and 'Cold Cicada' and Sun-Disc Moon-Melting Saint Lord will be able to come to my aid... I am not fighting alone."

The Diviner pondered and calculated, and from a rational perspective, he could conclude that "a battle was possible."

At least... we can give it a try.

Even his intuition, which he had always trusted, was giving him this "revelation."

Yes, yes... you can do it here.

My chances of winning are very high.

Even if I lose, so what? I can always walk away unscathed!

Although it's troublesome, now... the initiative and the advantage are on our side.

But...

Even so, the Diviner still harbored doubts.

His doubts lay neither with Yun Fengyang nor with Jian Cunyi.

His eyes, temporarily unable to see, were tightly closed; instead, his perception, like tentacles, permeated the air.

In the Diviner's perception, Yun Fengyang, whose blood and energy were surging, Feathering and Ascending to Immortality, were Jian Cunyi his primary targets of attention...

But Lin Yu, standing to the side, received just as much attention from the Diviner as the other two.

Even in terms of sheer strength, the gap between Lin Yu and Yun Fengyang and Jian Cunyi is like the difference between a sample of ice cream on a tray in a store and the refrigerated display case in an ice cream cart.

But the Diviner still didn't think he could ignore Lin Yu.

So, besides Yun Fengyang and Jian Cunyi... what if Lin Yu were to be added to their list of opponents?

This rising star of "Order" is becoming increasingly difficult for him to understand.

The Diviner quickly made his judgment.

He looked at Lin Yu and smiled.

"Director... Your idea is good, but unfortunately, if I want to leave, even if you remind me, it won't make a difference."

Diviner spoke, he lightly tapped his left thumb and ring finger together.

Then...

Lin Yu and Jian Cunyi: the "Diviner's " opened "Heart Domain" had disappeared.

No...

It's not "disappearance," but rather "shrinkage."

His "Heart Domain" completely shrank to the area in front of him, forming a region that only covered his body.

Jian Cunyi immediately frowned. "Oh no, he's going to run away!"

Although Lin Yu didn't know what the Diviner's purpose was in shrinking his "Heart Domain," he could guess what the Diviner intended to do.

"Master, stop him!"

Yun Fengyang didn't waste any words. He swayed and made Sonic Boom. Then, in the next moment, he delivered a powerful whip kick to the Diviner's head!

The qi and blood gathered on that whip kick rippled outwards, faintly resembling Tiger's Roar.

The Diviner laughed.

"The greatest Daoist Mage in the world... is nothing special!"

"Yun Jushi, you're too slow."

The whip kick swept across the Diviner's head, as if it had struck some Mirage Illusion, passing right through it!

At this moment, the "Diviner's" body also began to undergo some strange "changes".

His Right Hand were in reverse positions, and his whole body was elongated and rotated, as if he had been thrown into Kaleidoscope.

Although others still exist here, it seems like an illusion, or as if they are not here at all, merely a Projection, even giving the impression that the Diviner does not exist and has never been here.

His "Heart Domain" seemed to become more effective after it only acted on himself.

At this moment, the Diviner is like an NPC character in an old-fashioned video Game who suddenly has a bug, with more and more incomprehensible and irregular changes appearing on his body.

This dramatic change lasted for about a second...

His figure suddenly "collapsed"!

The Diviner's entire being, which was twisting and changing, suddenly converged and compressed towards a single point in an instant...

His figure vanished completely!

It was so clean it looked as if it had never been there.

"Clang!"

Jian Cunyi threw his longsword to the ground in frustration, and unusually, he began to curse loudly, his anger undisguised. "That cunning bastard, he actually ran away so decisively... Why did he run away? He set up the Formation for so long, planned the release of the Demon Ancestor for so long, and then just abandoned it all?!"

Layman Yun Fengyang, also looked somewhat solemn.

Having been summoned here by the [Guest Appearance Invitation], Yun Fengyang already understood Lin Yu's request and needs.

Although failing to complete the current commission wouldn't be a loss for him, Yun Fengyang wasn't the type to care about personal gains or losses.

Although he hadn't been to the Prison Mountain Realm for a long time, Yun Fengyang still believed what Lin Yu said.

Whether it was Lin Yu's mention during their last meeting that "human life is as cheap as grass and Yaomo run rampant" in the Prison Mountain Realm, or Lin Yu's earlier statement that "this person will surely be a great scourge to the Two Mountains and Six Hells," Yun Fengyang Truth and kept it in mind.

Therefore, after seeing the Diviner run away, and right under his nose in a way he couldn't understand at all, Yun Fengyang was filled with worry.

"This person is truly decisive... without the slightest probing or hesitation, he left without hesitation."

"The methods he used were also quite sinister. I have studied all the Martial Arts Fang Techniques in the world, and even seen many otherworldly methods, but none of them are similar to the methods he used to escape just now."

At this point, Yun Fengyang sighed deeply, "What a pity! If only some of my old friends were still alive, even if he escaped here, we would surely be able to find him."

"What's even more lamentable and hateful is... I can't stay in this world for long either—every moment this fellow lives, I feel uneasy."

As Layman Yun Fengyang was speaking, Jian Cunyi had already recovered.

After taking a few deep breaths, he calmed down completely and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Yun Fengyang.

"Please rest assured, Yun Jushi, I will not let him get away with this... Moreover, whatever he intends to do in this Prison Mountain Realm, Brother Lin and I cannot allow him to act recklessly."

"Just like now, he wants to release the Demon Ancestor within the Nine Cold Mountain; I will definitely not let him succeed."

Jian Cunyi spoke, he looked at the Earth Vein that had begun to descend into chaos due to the lack of supervision and control.

"Although that beast escaped again this time, at least... his plan has failed."

"Now that he's not here, we can slowly repair the Formation, and even reinforce it."

Jian Cunyi spoke, Yun Fengyang's calm and resolute face showed a hint of approval. "That's true. Rather than Regret what hasn't been done, it's better to do well in the present."

As the saying goes, "It's better to ride a horse and draw your bow again than to lament the wild geese that soared high yesterday."

"Although that guy escaped, the Demon Ancestor's escape is still a major issue... We must take it seriously and reinforce this Formation firmly, ensuring that the Demon Ancestor has no chance of escaping within a thousand years."

Yun Fengyang spoke seriously, then looked at Jian Cunyi: "You just said that you obtained the inheritance of the Duxuan Sect... Fellow Daoists of the Duxuan Sect are most skilled in Formation Dao, so I suppose your attainments in Formation Dao formations should also be quite profound."

Jian Cunyi smiled and nodded, "I only know a little bit, senior... I've only fully grasped about 70-80% of the inheritance within the Duxuan Sect."

Yun Fengyang looked at Jian Cunyi and said, "All the Formation Dao in the world originate from Du Xuan... You've mastered seventy percent of the Duxuan Sect's heritage, so you can't be considered someone who only has a slight understanding."

Even the former sect leader of the Du Duxuan Sect wouldn't dare say he had fully mastered his sect's Formation Dao formation techniques... he wouldn't even claim to have mastered seventy percent of them.

"You don't seem like the kind of person who seeks fame or engages in empty talk. On the contrary, you seem rather gentle and modest. So, you're holding back on saying these 'odds and ends,' right?"

As Yun Fengyang spoke, Jian Cunyi simply bowed once more.

"This junior dares not presume upon such an honor."

"Alright, it's enough anyway," Yun Fengyang said, looking at the sixteen broken stone tablets. "After all, the Dao Ancestor reinforced this place once before, and that guy hasn't completely destroyed the Formation here... However, if there were someone here skilled in Artifact Refining Dao, that would be great; maybe they could even repair these stone tablets..."

As Yun Fengyang was speaking, Qin Siyu suddenly spoke up.

She had remained silent from the beginning, after all, when two big shots were talking, Qin Siyu felt she had no right to interrupt.

But now, hearing Yun Fengyang's words, Qin Siyu realized that she had to remind this lay Buddhist who had come from storybooks and legends.

"Um... this gentleman over here is Master Wei Jian. He's probably one of the top weapon refiners in the entire Prison Mountain Realm today..."

Qin Siyu pointed to the unconscious Master Wei Jian on the ground and spoke.

Jian Cunyi glanced at it and exclaimed in surprise, "It really Master Wei Jian... Brother Lin, where did you get it?"

He looked at Lin Yu and said in surprise.

Lin Yu helplessly spread his hands.

"Actually, I found it on the roadside."
