In this bizarre world, I can extract supernatural powers.

The moment the left fist was thrown, the compressed true qi erupted like a flood.

"boom!"

The roar echoed through the dense forest.

The giant black hand clashed with Xu Bai's left fist, and the residual force surged back like ocean waves, snapping the surrounding trees at their roots.

The old Taoist priest suddenly groaned, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. He looked at Xu Bai with a face full of fear, as if he had seen the thing he feared most in his life.

The giant black hand vanished, as if it had never existed.

Xu Bai took a step forward, his steps firm and steady.

On the left fist, there is still some vital energy remaining, coiled like a dragon.

He didn't waste any time and blasted the old Taoist priest's chest.

"You are exhausted, while I am at my peak."

"Will I kill you, or will you kill me?"

"Who is the hunter, and who is the prey?"

"boom!"

The old Taoist priest was struck as if by lightning, his chest feeling as if it had been swept by a giant wave. He was sent flying backward, crashing into several large trees before finally coming to a stop.

He was about to get up when he realized his chest felt empty.

Looking down, he saw a large hole in his chest.

Who is the hunter?

Who is the prey?

At that moment, the old Taoist priest suddenly knew the outcome.

"So from the very beginning, you planned to kill me when my secret technique weakened."

"I've always been the prey; you're the hunter."

"Such deep scheming. When did Feng County produce someone like you?"

Xu Bai shook the blood off his left hand and looked at the bloody hole in the old Taoist's chest.

"You use the art of 'no intention,' yet you still have intention. It's quite amusing that someone as filthy as you has a red heart."

The old Taoist priest spat out another mouthful of blood.

"You think that's all?"

"Killing three elders of the Heavenly Heart Sect will surely trigger a response from the sect leader."

"You're the culprit. That Constable Chen has the backing of the government. What do you have?"

"I'll wait for you to come down here, and we'll have another fight down there!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old Taoist priest's neck lolled to the side, and he breathed his last.

Xu Bai let out a long breath and then approached the old Taoist priest.

He didn't get too close before another bolt of lightning struck.

The old Taoist priest, who had been lifeless, let out a scream.

Inside the sleeve of his right hand, he held a silver needle, from which a strange aura flowed.

Xu Bai sneered, "As expected, the older you get, the more cunning you become. You even used the trick of faking your death, and you also have a strange object on you."

The old Taoist priest struggled, a venomous glint in his eyes.

Xu Bai did not stop, and continued to use the Yin Wood Thunder Sword Technique.

Several bolts of lightning struck, and Xu Bai only stopped after the old Taoist priest was burned to ashes.

"Since we are in this wondrous world, all enemies must be reduced to ashes."

Xu Bai withdrew his hand and his gaze fell on the ground.

A silver needle lay quietly, with an eerie aura flowing over it.

He picked up the silver needle, and a wisp of smoke instantly appeared before his eyes, gradually condensing into words.

【The Hundred Poisons Divine Needle: Originally a silver needle for healing and saving lives, it transformed into a poisonous needle due to the lingering resentment of its deceased owner. Those struck by it will suffer the agonizing pain of being devoured by a hundred poisons.】

[Burning twenty years of mysterious lifespan, extractable]

Another twenty years of strange lifespan?

Xu Bai stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then glanced at the surrounding dense forest.

The place we are in right now is not safe, and we are prone to seeing various illusions when we try to retrieve it.

Therefore, now is not the time to unleash supernatural powers.

With that thought in mind, Xu Bai didn't linger any longer and headed towards where Constable Chen was.

The dense forest returned to tranquility.

If it weren't for the mess this place is in, perhaps no one would know that a tremendous battle once took place here.

……

The location of the giant coffin.

Officer Chen slowly drew his long sword, his face as indifferent as ice.

The young man's body was already cold, his eyes wide open, still filled with despair before he died.

"No need to clean up the battlefield, hurry and support Manager Xu!"

Officer Chen shouted loudly.

All around, there were strange corpses everywhere.

The constables also suffered casualties.

Upon hearing Constable Chen's voice, the constables perked up and responded in unison.

"Your humble servant obeys."

Officer Chen took a deep breath and prepared to chase after Xu Bai in the direction he had left.

He knew Xu Bai's intention.

However, Xu Bai is only at the second level of the Transcendent Realm, and he is facing an old Taoist priest who is close to the fourth level of the Transcendent Realm. He is likely to be in grave danger.

He never imagined that Xu Bai could overcome adversity and kill the old Taoist priest.

After all, this was something that Constable Chen had never seen when he was roaming the martial arts world.

Even if it really exists, it's only possessed by the elites in big cities.

Therefore, Constable Chen planned to provide support as soon as possible, hoping that Xu Bai could hold on a little longer.

Just as Officer Chen was about to leave, footsteps echoed from the depths of the dense forest.

"who!"

Officer Chen gripped his long knife tightly, his eyes fixed on the source of the noise like those of a hawk.

At the edge of the field of vision lies a deep, dense forest.

The steady footsteps sounded, like a blast of cold water in the deathly silence, sending a chill down the spines of the constables.

The footsteps grew closer, and when a figure appeared, a look of surprise flashed in everyone's eyes.

Constable Chen's eyes widened, and his grip on the long knife tightened slightly.

"Manager Xu, you're not dead?"

Xu Bai arrived under the cover of night, the darkness surrounding him as if it were guarding an emperor.

"He's not dead. Lucky you, you killed that old bastard."

Upon hearing this, the previously lively atmosphere suddenly became deathly silent.

The constables stared intently at Xu Bai, seemingly unable to believe their ears.

Constable Chen's Adam's apple bobbed: "Manager Xu, you just said... you killed an elder of the Heavenly Heart Sect?"

If he wasn't mistaken, Xu Bai was only at the peak of the second stage of the Transcendent Realm.

How could someone with such strength kill an elder of the Heavenly Heart Sect?

Xu Bai nodded and said, "Kill him when his secret technique is exhausted and his aura is waning."

"But..." Officer Chen wanted to say more.

Xu Bai interrupted, "No need for further explanation. Everyone has their own secrets. Why must Lord Chen pry into such details?"

Officer Chen snapped out of his daze and said, "It was I who was a bit rude. Please forgive me, Manager Xu."

He knew very well that it was a very bad thing to pry into other people's secrets.

However, Officer Chen already had a deduction in his mind.

"Manager Xu's status must be quite high; even within the sects of Feng County, he is an extremely core figure."

Although he didn't know which faction Xu Bai belonged to, his ability to overcome adversity and rise above others meant he was no ordinary person.

Many powerful people also enjoy playing the game of the mortal world.

Officer Chen naturally categorized Xu Bai as such a person.

"We should communicate more in the future."

"After all, traveling through Feng County and befriending such experts would be beneficial to me."

After this idea came to mind, Constable Chen temporarily suppressed his excitement.

He turned to the constable and said, "Clean up the battlefield."

The constables then accepted the order and began cleaning.

Cleaning up the battlefield wasn't difficult; there was nothing of value in the strange place, so it was just a matter of collecting the corpses of his comrades.

A hand patted Officer Chen on the shoulder.

Xu Bai's eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly said, "Lord Chen, may I speak with you in private? I have made some new discoveries."
