Chapter 1366 It's too late to leave now.
In a desolate mountain hundreds of miles from the fortress, a cave covered by vines and moss was filled with damp mist.

A cultivator dressed in a black robe sat cross-legged, surrounded by faint fluctuations of spiritual energy.

Suddenly, the cultivator's tightly closed eyes snapped open, and a burning excitement ignited in his star-like pupils, as if he had caught the trail of his prey.

A beam of eerie green light pierced the twilight outside the cave, shooting in like an arrow.

When it hovered, it turned out to be a palm-sized emerald-feathered spirit bird, with a metallic glint between its small beaks and dark blue-green scales on its claws.

This is a type of demonic beast called "Green Phoenix Sparrow," which possesses a flight speed comparable to a cultivator's escape technique and can accurately locate targets over a thousand miles by following a trace of aura.

The green pheasant circled the cultivator a few times, its clear chirping seeming to convey a message, before landing steadily on his shoulder.

Xiao Fang raised his hand and gently stroked the feathers of the spirit bird. Where his fingertips touched, the sparrow's feathers shimmered.

Xiao Fang took out a lustrous jade bottle from his storage ring, poured out a fragrant pill, and fed it to the sparrow.

After the titmouse finished swallowing, he flicked his sleeve and put it into his beast pouch with practiced ease.

Xiao Fang took out a jade bottle from his storage ring, poured out a pill and fed it to the "Green Phoenix Sparrow," then put it into his beast pouch.

Immediately afterwards, a faint blue light flashed from Xiao Fang's waist, and a jade talisman engraved with runes appeared in his palm.

As spiritual energy was injected, the runes on the surface of the jade talisman flowed and transformed into a stream of light that shot through the air.

The message conveyed by the jade talisman instantly reached the depths of the Taoist temple.

Upon receiving the message, a sinister glint flashed in Yuzuru's eyes.

He quietly gathered his men, and they, like ghosts in the night, used a special secret method to conceal their presence and left the dojo unnoticed.

Yuzuru was very cautious. He did not bring his men in a swarm, but instead divided into several hunting teams, which quietly converged on the vicinity of the fortress along different routes, like spider silk.

Each assassin is like a lurking viper, concealing their sharpness, waiting only for the fatal blow.

When the last team arrived at the designated location, the message from Director Yuzuru echoed in everyone's minds, ordering them to begin their operation.

In the early hours of the morning, the night sky, thick as ink, enveloped the earth. Lead-gray clouds surged in, obscuring the last ray of moonlight, plunging everything into pitch-black darkness.

A biting wind howled past, carrying sand and stones that lashed against the rocks, emitting mournful cries as if wailing for the impending carnage.

At this moment, Chief Instructor Yuzuru was hovering in the dark night sky in the distance, surrounded by a faint black mist.

He formed hand seals and chanted incantations, and an obscure secret technique flowed from his fingertips.

A moment later, a blood-red mark appeared between his eyebrows.

"Got you……"

Yuzuru's eyes flashed with wild joy. This was one of his most treasured secret techniques, capable of silently locking onto the aura of a hunting target, making it impossible to defend against.

"Action... That kid is inside the fortress. A quick victory is needed. If we fail to strike, we must retreat immediately!"

Having received the message from Chief Steward Yuzuru, figures began to slowly surround the fortress, which was still in its early stages of construction, from all directions.

This time, Chief Supervisor Yuzuru brought more than ten teams, all of which were the organization's most elite hunting teams.

In his view, it would be a piece of cake for dozens of the organization's most elite hunters to assassinate a target at the Void Refinement Realm.

Although that kid was incredibly strong, this wasn't a fair fight; it was a covert assassination.

For an elite assassin, killing targets of higher ranks is nothing special.

This is the very reason why assassins exist. Moreover, with dozens of elite hunters working together to eliminate a single target, the outcome is even less of a challenge.

Chief Inspector Yuzuru closed his eyes, sensing the situation of the targets inside the fortress.

Even now, with all the hunting teams having moved to their designated hunting positions, the enemy has not noticed anything amiss and remains motionless.

He took a deep breath; the hunt was now a sure thing.

"Do it..."

As the thought was transmitted, it exploded in the minds of the many subordinates, and the dozens of hunters finally made their move.

"Zheng..."

As a deafening sword cry resounded, a sword light carrying overwhelming killing intent tore through the air, like a silver lightning bolt, piercing straight into the core of the fortress.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar erupted, and a blazing light, like a miniature sun, burst forth above the fortress, as a torrent of immense energy poured down.

At the same time, attacks came from all directions, with fireballs, ice spikes, and dark blades weaving a web of death that crashed down on the fortress.

The assassins' attack was swift and fierce; in the blink of an eye, the fortress, still under construction, was reduced to dust amidst a roar.

The solid mountain was also mostly sheared away, with rubble falling like raindrops, and dust billowing everywhere, obscuring the sky.

Such power is enough to pulverize any cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm without warning, and even a powerful expert in the late stage of the Body Integration Realm would not be able to escape unscathed if caught off guard.

However, just when everyone thought victory was assured, Yuzuru Hanyu's pupils suddenly contracted.

A chill ran from the soles of his feet to his heart, an intuition honed by countless brushes with death telling him this.

not right...

“Retreat… retreat…”

Without a second thought, Chief Manager Yuzuru gave the order to his dozens of subordinates to evacuate.

His dozens of elite hunters all used various escape methods, such as summoning flying magic weapons or using earth-burrowing techniques.

Unfortunately, it was too late to leave at that point.

Above the heavens, the pitch-black clouds churned violently, and a massive crack slowly tore open. A terrifying pressure poured down from it, as if an invisible hand was about to crush this world completely.

"Rumble..."

With a deafening roar, an immense power, like the depths of hell, descended from the heavens, plunging everyone present into a dark abyss of despair.

It was as if an immeasurable power had descended upon the world, and even the dark night sky collapsed under the weight of this immense force.

A sealing formation instantly enveloped an area spanning hundreds of miles.

"Ouch..."

A deafening dragon roar pierced through the clouds, and a gigantic dragon phantom radiating golden light appeared from the heavens.

Its body blotted out the sky, its eyes burned with furious flames, and its gaping maw seemed capable of swallowing stars.

The entire world trembled violently at the sound of the dragon's roar. Everyone felt as if their souls were about to be shattered by the roar, and despair and fear instantly enveloped everyone.
