Yang Bo!

This was the second time Su Qi heard this name in one day.

The first time was from the mouth of the late Shang Kun.

However, there were too many people with the same name in the world, and he wasn't sure if this person was the same Yang Bo that Shang Kun mentioned.

So, he tested the waters, "Do you know someone named Shang Kun?"

Yang Bo, upon hearing Shang Kun's name, immediately sensed that this was an opportunity to establish a connection and probe the other's identity.

"Of course I know him. He and I are life-and-death friends. Who might you be?"

Su Qi's smile suddenly became exceptionally bright, and now he could almost draw a conclusion.

"Shang Kun and I also have a life-and-death... bond."

"A while ago he contacted me to kill someone named Su Qi on the spot. I inquired thoroughly and found out it was someone named Yang Bo who issued the bounty task."

"And here I run into you—it must be fate..."

"Oh, by the way, I heard that Su Qi is just an Awakening Level rookie. How did he provoke you?"

Yang Bo, hearing the other mention his bounty task fluently, no longer doubted the special relationship he claimed to have with Shang Kun.

With this connection, it became easier for him to assess the other's background.

"He wouldn't dare provoke me, not even with ten lives. It's just the Xu Family's young master... let's not digress. Would you mind letting us take a rest here?"

"Of course, we won't let you look after us for nothing. We can compensate you suitably."

In order to dispel any of their doubts, Yang Bo lowered his posture very much.

Once he assessed the opponent's strength, he would strike immediately!

The brothers behind him had been on the road for three days, and except for frustration, they had gained nothing. Regardless of whether the other side were survivors of the Dimensional Passage, he desperately needed a harvest to boost morale.

"No compensation needed; rest as long as you want, even for a lifetime." Su Qi grinned, quickly drawing the Heaven Cross from the void.

He thrust it into the ground, and invisible ripples instantly spread out.

Mind Drive!

"Divine Weapon Manifestation Ability..." Yang Bo stared intently at the radiant cross, suddenly feeling a bad premonition, and hastily shouted, "Friend, let's talk this over, no need to resort to violence."

Up to this moment, Yang Bo was still bewildered, not knowing what he said to provoke the other.

Talk it over?

Hmph.

Back when issuing the kill bounty, why didn't you talk it over with me?

Whatever I did wrong, I can change.

If it can't be changed, then please disappear!

Bang bang bang...

A series of radiant flashes, and Su Qi and the Transcendents behind him were enveloped in dazzling divine light.

Accompanied by various buffs, Su Qi's internal energy suddenly exploded, his fist wreathed in pure white light, crashing toward Yang Bo.

Yang Bo's eyes narrowed, sensing the threat Su Qi bore at the first moment.

As he dodged to the side, his five fingers curved like hooks, and high-frequency slender air currents between his fingers seemed like scythe cuts, aiming straight for the opponent's throat!

Boom!

The air was compressed to explosion, erupting in ripples.

It was Su Qi's punch missing its mark, then launching again, reaching later but arriving first, colliding with Yang Bo's iron claw.

"How can it be so fast!?" Yang Bo's eyes were full of disbelief, even feeling some cracks at the base of his right thumb.

And the moment the buff was applied, the Transcendents behind Su Qi also realized the other side harbored ill intentions, coming to snatch their All Heavens Reflecting True Crystal, or rather... their lives!

Thus.

Each surged with momentum like tigers down the mountain, charging in for the kill.

Li Jun and Hu Jian were momentarily stupefied; weren't they supposed to gauge the opponent's strength before attacking, so why did the opposite side preemptively launch an attack?

However, the current situation left no room for much thought; weary as they were, they had no choice but to fight head-on.

Bang bang bang!

Two torrents clashed fiercely, with brilliant superpowers erupting instantly, rocks flying, and trees toppling over thunderously.

Although the other side consisted of the Xu Family's elite Transcendents, higher in Realm.

But under Su Qi's varied buffs, his side's Transcendents saw considerable enhancements in Life Level, superpower potency, and attack speed.

Not to mention having a numerical advantage, essentially two against one.

The situation almost tilted entirely, thanks to the presence of Li Jun and Hu Jian, two Overlord Level Transcendents, who barely maintained the scene.

In spite of this.

Li Jun and Hu Jian were equally shocked and fearful.

According to past experiences, Control Level Transcendents were usually no match for Overlord Level adversaries.

The woman wielding the broadsword in front of them was evidently still at the Control Level Realm, yet she wasn't crushed under their aura and could match them, holding her ground evenly.

If it were just one such case, it would be manageable. Long exposure to the Wilderness eventually leads to encountering some Demons.

But... what's with the successive assault of those seven or eight top-tier Control Level Transcendents!?

Despite not matching their strength, they also held the power to fight!

This is crazy!?

When did Control Level Transcendents, capable of standing against Overlord Level Demons, become as common as cabbage!

However, they soon realized that the issue lay in the mysterious glow surrounding these individuals.

"Buff Ability!?"

Li Jun and Hu Jian identified the problem and immediately abandoned their current opponents, turning to join Yang Bo in attacking Su Qi.

This odd maneuver.

Instantly left Yun Jin and the others dumbfounded.

You have a good eye, choosing the most formidable among us.

Yet, even with the addition of two Overlord Levels, Su Qi remained calm and unhurried, and his punches seemed to escalate progressively.

Bang bang bang!

Blow after blow, one against three.

"Impossible! How can someone be faster than me!" Yang Bo was losing it; he never imagined his prideful speed would be so inferior, something he couldn't accept.

Among the Overlord Level Transcendents in the Ninth District, there were many stronger than him, but speed contenders comparable to him were only those realms significantly superior to his.

It was for this reason that the potential-reached him was chosen by the Xu Family.

Yang Bo's eyes were wide, erupting at full speed, his form agile and elusive, seemingly merging with the wind, shadowy claws like mountains, pressing down layer by layer, intent on splitting dragons and tigers!

But when it came to speed, had Su Qi ever feared anyone?

The Heaven Cross thrust into the earth, Mind Drive, made him feel as if the world moved with him, like a dragon entering the sea, moving effortlessly.

The Revelation Punishment Ability further made him feel divinely assisted, exertion and angle control were perfect, without an ounce of excess movement, maximizing speed!

Even without entering the God's Favored One state, he still firmly suppressed the three!

Indeed, these three Overlord Level Transcendents.

Were nothing more than stakes for him to test his conventional strength.
