The burly man could feel that his opponent was just reaching the Innate Stage, and that he should have only stepped into the Innate Stage not too long ago. He was already at the Innate Stage Mystery, but the power of that fist strike was enough to destroy all the vitality in his body. Before he finished his words, his body already collapsed.

"The Third Company Leader is dead! Run!?

When the surrounding robust men saw this scene, the third Company Leader, who was of the Innate Stage, was indeed dead. All of them looked at each other in shock. All of them were veterans in the Barbarian Beast Mountain Range, and immediately fled in panic. Even Third Company Leader was no match for this youth, and as they thought about it, their lives were still more important.

"Swift Snake Spell!?

In sidelines, Lv Kun saw this sudden change and could no longer remain calm. He frowned, and the seal changed. Following that, a burst of cold profound Qi revolved, and it was as if one?s sight was filled with runes. It transformed into a black python the size of an infant's arm, aiming to bite Zhu Xue as if it was alive. The surrounding air seemed like it was being torn apart.

" Spirit Talisman, Kill!"

Zhu Xue was being worn down beyond her limits. All of a sudden, with intense light shooting out of her eyes, a series of strange handprints condensed. An abnormal wave surged violently around her body. A string of strange runes spread out from within her profound Qi, wrapping around her body and finally accumulated into a lifelike eagle.

?Ji!"

The eagle screeched, spreading out its several meters wide wings and conjured a mini storm of energy. It dived straight down towards the black python, its sharp claws grabbing onto the seven inches of the black python and ripping it into pieces. The eagle phantom itself was unable to bear the force of the attack, it transformed back into runes and shattered in midair.

"Spirit Talisman Master, you're actually still a Spirit Talisman Master.?

Lv Kun looked at Zhu Xue in shock. This shocked expression was sufficient to prove that the Spirit Talisman Master's reputation was extraordinary. He turned his head to look at Du Shaofu, who was wrapped in leaves and vines, and then looked at Zhu Xue. He unwillingly said to the rest of the youths, "Let's go.?

?Swoosh. Swoosh.?

Following Lv Kun's words, the gazes of the few youths slightly changed, and they quickly followed Lv Kun.

?Thank you for saving my life. My name is Guo Ming, and I am a disciple of Profound Talisman Sect. Since you have saved my life, I owe you a great favor." The youth who was saved by Du Shaofu picked up the sword that had dropped on the ground. He went to Du Shaofu's side with a grateful expression to express his gratitude.

"So it turns out you are from the Profound Talisman Sect."

Du Shaofu had heard of the Profound Talisman Sect before. It was said that it is a terrifying force like Celestial Snake Sect and Profound Hell Sect. Every single disciple was extremely powerful. No wonder this youth was able to break through to the Innate Stage despite being around the same age as him. Just now, that burly man was still at the profound level, but this Guo Ming was able to fully rely on his cultivation at the beginning level of the Innate Stage to contend against the enemy.

Raising his head to look at Guo Ming, Du Shaofu suddenly thought of something. He said, "Do you have any spare clothes? Give me one set.?

"Yes, I brought a few." Guo Ming was startled. Looking at Du Shaofu's expression, he seemed to understand something, and nodded.

"Puchi!"

Not far away, Zhu Xue stood where she was and watched as Lv Kun left. After confirming that Lv Kun had left, her face suddenly became pale, and a mouthful of fresh blood spewed out from her mouth.

"Senior Sister, are you alright??

Guo Ming was so frightened that he immediately ran to Zhu Xue's side, his face turning pale white.

"I'm fine, I just used up too much energy. We need to leave immediately, or else we'll be in trouble if they bring people back to chase us." Zhu Xue said to Guo Ming, then nodded and gave Du Shaofu a small smile, which could be considered as expressing her gratitude for saving her.

"Wait."

Du Shaofu did not let this opportunity go. He squatted down beside the dead Third Company Leader. He searched through all of the valuable things on his body, as well as those Demon Hunters of the Acquired Stage that were killed by Guo Ming. Watching this, Guo Ming and Zhu Xue looked at each other in confusion.

After a while, in a valley, Du Shaofu changed into a new set of purplish blue robes that was of even higher quality than the purple one he was wearing before. He looked in good spirit.

According to Guo Ming and Zhu Xue's words, Du Shaofu found out that it had been almost a month since the Golden Winged Roc and its self-detonation. He had taken such a long time to train in the cultivation method of the Golden Winged Roc after he woke up.

Furthermore, from Guo Ming and Zhu Xue's words, Du Shaofu found out that the Celestial Snake Sect, Profound Hell Sect, and other experts had all gone to search for the corpses of the Golden Winged Roc and the Purple Flame Demon Phoenix, as well as the treasures, but they never returned. No one knew what could have happened to them along their far away journey. After waiting for a long time, they could only carefully inquire about the situation.

When they arrived at the place where the incident had occurred, they realized that it was already a wreck. There were no corpses of Golden Winged Rocs and the Purple Flame Demon Phoenix, nor were there any experts of the sect. On the other hand, there were people who had accidentally found some feathers that had fallen from the Golden Winged Roc and the Purple Flame Demon Phoenix, which were definitely not ordinary treasures and this naturally sparked a few rivalries fighting for it.

Three disciples of the Mountain Sect had a great battle, many had lost their lives, and the rest dispersed.

After that, as more and more Demon Hunters and adventurers appeared, Zhu Xue and Guo Ming discovered that Lv Kun and the others from Celestial Snake Sect had joined forces with a group of people called White Leopard Hunting Alliance to try and steal the Purple Flame Demon Phoenix feathers that they had obtained. The two of them fled, at which point they met Du Shaofu.

Listening to the two of them, Du Shaofu had a general understanding of the situation. However, he would naturally not tell Zhu Xue, Guo Ming and the rest that the experts in the sect had long been torn into pieces by the three Demon Monster Kings, and that the Crane Hair Elder who had been chased after by the Demon Monster Kings might also have been in danger.

Du Shaofu was not intentionally hiding this information from Zhu Xue and Guo Ming. It was just that being related to the Golden Winged Roc and the Purple Flame Demon Phoenix. To prevent some unexpected calamity falling upon him, it was better to keep it a secret.

Du Shaofu was not stupid. If there was someone who knew of his cultivation method for Golden Winged Roc, then there would be no end to it. At the very least, he would be treated as an experimental subject to be studied, and at the very most, his would lose his life.

"I still do not know your name and where you come from. Thank you very much for your help this time." Zhu Xue stared at Du Shaofu with her pair of clear eyes, and she smiled slightly. She was dressed in a light green robe, and had an oval face with elegance and nobility.

"Du Shaofu, and I belong to no sect." Du Shaofu looked at Zhu Xue and laughed.

"No sect."

Zhu Xue and Guo Ming were in disbelief. Back then, when they saw the young man in front of them having an expert backing him up, and the intimidating Celestial Snake Sect Elder Copper Snake did not dare make a move. Believing that Du Shaofu was hiding something and did not intend to reveal it, Zhu Xue did not ask further questions. She just smiled and said, ?I wonder what you are going to do next.?

Du Shaofu said, "I plan to leave the Barbarian Beast Mountain Range for the Stone City.?

Zhu Xue frowned slightly and said, "From our current position to the Stone City, even with our speed, I'm afraid we won't even be able to make it out in half a month. Junior Brother Guo Ming and I will first have to leave the Barbarian Beast Mountain Range, and then we will think of a way to practice expert techniques to find our lost junior brother and sister. Right now, this Barbarian Beast Mountain Range is especially dangerous, so why don't we travel together??

"Well?"

Du Shaofu thought for a bit. This Zhu Xue and Guo Ming were both at the Innate Stage, so their strength was not weak, and it was indeed safer to have two more people. Although these two seem to be tied up with a bit of an issue, he had already interfered with the situation. He nodded, and said, "Alright then, let's go together."
