57: Black Robe Captured

The moment Xun Xiuyuan saw the black-robed man, he understood that this was a trap specifically targeting him.

Last time he faced the black-robed man, Xun Xiuyuan was completely helpless; with just a casual strike, Xun Xiuyuan suffered internal injuries.

Facing the black-robed man again this time, Xun Xiuyuan still felt a sense of powerlessness, as if the person in front of him was a towering mountain, difficult to surmount and impossible to resist.

After all, the black-robed Mu Kun was a peak Transcendent Realm expert, whose spiritual power alone had reached 50,000. He had not advanced to the Po Kong Realm only because he had fewer insights into laws.

Advancement in the Transcendent Realm, besides spiritual power, also requires a certain level of insight into laws. As for later breakthroughs, they involve a deeper understanding of laws. Theoretically, the upper limit of spiritual power is 50,000.

Just like Xie Yunzhou, a peak Po Kong Realm expert, his breakthrough only requires insight into laws, and his spiritual power also stands at 50,000.

However, Xun Xiuyuan was not aware of these things at the moment.

And Xun Xiuyuan's spiritual power was less than 3,000, a huge disparity to begin with. Coupled with the black-robed man's intense killing intent at this time, Xun Xiuyuan felt an extreme sense of danger.

Xun Xiuyuan's first thought was to use Blood Escape, but he was afraid of where it might take him.

While he was hesitating, the black-robed man had already thrown a jade pendant towards Xun Xiuyuan.

As the jade pendant approached Xun Xiuyuan, it shattered into pieces, and a flash of light shot out from within, disappearing into Xun Xiuyuan's mind.

The soul stabilizing pearl in Xun Xiuyuan's sea of consciousness was originally rotating leisurely. When the white light approached his sea of consciousness, it began to spin wildly, and that white soul attack was unable to get even half a step closer to the soul stabilizing pearl.

In an instant, the white light, after several attempts to enter Xun Xiuyuan, was blocked by the soul stabilizing pearl. After several attacks, its energy was greatly depleted, and it finally dissipated without a trace.

The black-robed man was in front, with two Transcendent experts closely following him. The three stood opposite Xun Xiuyuan.

The black-robed man's face was full of doubt. What was going on? Why did the Emperor's strike have no effect at all? Could he already be an idiot?

Xun Xiuyuan was also puzzled. That white light should have been a soul attack, so why was it so weak?

Xun Xiuyuan felt the control over the world's power around him weaken slightly. He quickly took out the spatial blade (talisman) from his backpack, activated it, and threw it towards the three people not far away.

When the black-robed man saw a piece of paper thrown towards him, he initially didn't pay attention. But as the paper approached, he felt an inexplicable sense of danger.

Without further hesitation, he decisively retreated, abandoning his confinement of the world's power around Xun Xiuyuan.

Seeing the power that confined him disappear, Xun Xiuyuan decisively detonated the spatial blade (talisman) that had already flown to the three people, and quickly retreated.

Without delay, Xun Xiuyuan took advantage of the spatial blade (talisman)'s explosion to pull out his flying artifact and frantically flew towards the fortress.

Ding dong!

Killed a Transcendent Realm Shadow Demon, gained 2,560,000 exotic beast value.

Ding dong!

Killed a Transcendent Realm Shadow Demon, gained 2,560,000 exotic beast value.

Two notification sounds rang in his mind. Xun Xiuyuan knew that the black-robed man had not been killed by the spatial blade (talisman), but the other two Transcendent experts had died instantly.

While Xun Xiuyuan marveled at the power of the spatial blade (talisman), he was also surprised by the formidable strength of the black-robed Shadow Demon.

Xun Xiuyuan felt that returning to the fortress was still not safe enough, so he reported the black-robed Shadow Demon's ambush to kill him on the Special Operations Team channel.

Xie Qinglong received the report and immediately reported it up.

Xie Yunzhou quickly received the news and stood up: "I'll go personally. As for the people on the Transcendent ranking, hehe, one less killed is one less."

After enduring the attack of the spatial blade (talisman), the black-robed man also suffered serious injuries. Coming to his senses, he instantly followed behind Xun Xiuyuan, intending to act again.

However, Xun Xiuyuan's flying artifact was extremely fast. Mu Kun only caught up when he was close to the fortress, but Mu Kun hesitated, observing his surroundings, and did not make a move.

At this time, Xun Xiuyuan had already received a mission: to continue killing exotic beasts outside the fortress and not to enter the fortress.

Although Xun Xiuyuan was puzzled, he did not resist. His military career in his previous life meant he would still obey normal orders.

Mu Kun watched Xun Xiuyuan slaughtering the exotic beasts and Shadow Demons. Yes, it was a slaughter. Without the suppression of a Transcendent expert, Xun Xiuyuan was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, harvesting wildly.

Mu Kun saw the number of exotic beasts rapidly decreasing, and he didn't feel any unusually strong aura in the air. He thought to himself: I'll make another move. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, I'll return immediately.

Once he made his decision, he no longer hesitated. His figure flashed, and he was already above Xun Xiuyuan, just as he was about to strike.

A giant palm appeared in the air without warning, gripping the black-robed Mu Kun who was in mid-air.

Mu Kun cried out in terror: "Mother, save me."

Mu Jin was actually tens of kilometers away, preparing to rendezvous with Mu Kun. Mu Jin dared not get too close to the fortress, fearing detection by human experts.

Xie Yunzhou laughed wildly as he revealed himself, holding Mu Kun in his hand, and looked towards the distant mountains: "Mu Jin, come out and save your son. I promise not to beat him to death."

After hearing Mu Kun's cry, Mu Jin had already teleported to the vicinity of the fortress. When she clearly saw that the person who had captured Mu Kun was Xie Yunzhou, she dared not show herself.

If she showed herself, she definitely wouldn't be able to leave. Xie Yunzhou's combat power among the Po Kong Realm was unparalleled; no one in the abyss's Po Kong Realm had ever defeated Xie Yunzhou.

"Xie Yunzhou, if Mu Kun dies in Qianlong City, I will definitely request the Emperor to communicate with the four Abyss clans to jointly attack Qianlong City."

After leaving this message, she departed.

Mu Kun knew that the person who had captured him was not simple; at the very least, his Po Kong Realm mother did not dare to show her face.

Xie Yunzhou felt Mu Jin's departure and snorted coldly: "Trying to scare me? I haven't really eaten the flesh of a peak Transcendent Shadow Demon."

After speaking, he glanced at Xun Xiuyuan, who was fighting exotic beasts, and then left Fortress 100, carrying Mu Kun.

As the eldest son of the Shadow Demon leader, Mu Kun's status within the Shadow Demon Clan was extraordinary. Being alive was far more significant than being dead, so he would certainly not be easily killed unless absolutely necessary.

At this moment, Xun Xiuyuan was truly in a killing frenzy. In one siege, he had killed nearly 5,000 Martial King Realm and Innate Realm Shadow Demons, and even nearly a hundred Immaculate Realm ones.

Xun Xiuyuan immediately reported: "The exotic beast siege on Fortress 100 has been brought under control."

A message quickly came from his wristband: "Colonel Xun Xiuyuan, please proceed to Fortress 88 for support."

Xun Xiuyuan did not hesitate. He took out his flying artifact, set his destination to Fortress 88, and then rapidly flew by channeling his vital energy.

While flying, he opened his system panel.

Looking at the exotic beast value on the system panel, Xun Xiuyuan unhesitatingly added 360 points to his spiritual power, leaving only a few million exotic beast value for emergencies. Anyway, he would soon have more exotic beast value coming in, so he wasn't worried at all.

His spiritual power instantly reached 3,200. With the increase in spiritual power, all the fatigue from battle was restored, and his body felt refreshed.
