Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

Bai Luan and the other two suddenly turned around and saw a figure dressed in a black dragon robe sitting on a blue stone not far away, smiling at them.

This person was Xia Jin.

"How is this possible? You...aren't you in the Eastern Region? How did you end up here?!" Hei Tu's eyes widened suddenly when he saw Xia Jin.

The old man with the black raven on the side gasped, his body involuntarily taking two steps back, his face filled with fear, as if he had seen a ghost.

A month ago, he was almost killed by Xia Jin's soul with a single blow.

Of the three, only Bai Luan, though equally wary of Xia Jin, took a half-step forward, subtly protecting Hei Tu and Mo Ya behind her.

With a flick of her wrist, the string of pink bells was now held horizontally in front of her chest, and she looked at Xia Jin as if facing a formidable enemy.

"The three of you, how have you been?" Xia Jin looked at the three with a half-smile. "It seems you've had quite a haul this time."

"Come on! Hand over the jade pendant you just got."

"Hand them over, and I will grant you a dignified death. Otherwise..."

Xia Jin didn't continue speaking, but casually raised her right hand and made a pat to the right.

The movements were light and casual, seemingly without any effort.

"boom!!"

But suddenly a loud bang was heard!

Not far away, a large section of the mountainside of that towering mountain that pierced the clouds had vanished into thin air!

A huge circular hole, over 100 meters in diameter, runs through the mountain!

"See? Otherwise, you'll end up like that mountain, dead without a complete corpse," Xia Jin said calmly.

"This guy... seems to be much stronger than when we last met!" Black Butcher's gaze fell on Xia Jin, and he felt the energy that the other party had just unleashed. Large beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead instantly.

Old Man Moya was already somewhat afraid of Xia Jin, and after seeing Xia Jin's warning, he felt his throat go dry even more.

"Big...Big Sister..." Hei Tu glanced at Bai Luan in front of him, gritted his teeth, and a resolute look flashed in his eyes.

His obese body stepped forward again, shielding Bai Luan behind him. "You guys go first! I'll hold this guy off!"

"Black Butcher, no! You alone are no match for this guy!" Bai Luan became anxious and shouted hurriedly.

But Black Butcher was desperate! He roared, and his already muscular body contracted violently again, his skin turning a jet-black metallic color, and his muscles bulging like a writhing dragon!

He kicked off with both legs, shooting out like a cannonball, gathering all his strength in his right fist, and slamming it straight at Xia Jin's face!

Faced with this desperate attack that would make even ordinary experts pale, Xia Jin revealed a hint of mockery on her face.

"You big oaf, you don't actually think my strength is the same as it was a month ago, do you?"

He casually clenched his right hand.

Then, he threw a punch.

It was a very ordinary punch, even appearing much slower than Black Butcher's ferocious punch.

But this seemingly ordinary punch, though delivered later, arrived first.

Before Hei Tu's fist even reached three feet in front of Xia Jin, Xia Jin's fist had already imprinted itself on his abdomen.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud.

Black Butcher's forward momentum suddenly halted, leaving him suspended in mid-air. He coughed up a mouthful of blood in agony, his eyes bulging out.

next moment

"puff!"

His clothes suddenly ripped open at the point where his back corresponds to his abdomen, revealing a clear fist print that almost burst out of his body!

"Ugh!"

Black Butcher let out a scream, curled up, and fell heavily to the ground, completely losing his fighting ability.

One punch!

With just one punch, Black Butcher, the strongest and most powerful of the three, was defeated, utterly powerless to fight back.

Bai Luan's expression changed.

"Go!" She turned sharply and shouted at Old Man Moya, "I'll hold this man captive, you take Black Butcher away!"

She bit her tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the pink bell in front of her!

"Ring ring ring!"

The string of bells flew out of his hand, swelled in the air against the wind, and instantly transformed into a semi-transparent large bell!

"town!"

She wanted to do the same thing as before, to trap Xia Jin inside the bell, even if she could only hold her there for a moment!

However, when faced with the great bell that had trapped his soul last time, Xia Jin's lips curled up slightly, and he let out a sneer.

"Do you really think I'm the same king I used to be?"

His eyes suddenly turned bloodshot! An even more terrifying aura awakened within him!

"Demon Heart Crossing!"

As Xia Jin felt his own power, just as the bell was about to engulf him, he actually raised his arms and hugged the lower edge of the semi-transparent bell wall!

"Let's see how I crush you back into the fold!!"

He roared in a low voice, and he actually managed to stop the great bell from falling!

Then, a scene that stunned Bai Luan and the others unfolded.

Xia Jin exerted force with both arms, and the large bell in his arms made a "creaking" sound, as if it was under unimaginable pressure.

The clock... is shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Three zhang, two zhang, one zhang...

"No...impossible!" Bai Luan exclaimed in shock, her face drained of all color!

This is beyond human capability! This is demonic magic! This is evil sorcery!

"Bai Luan, what are you standing there for! Are you waiting to die? Let's go!" Old Man Mo Ya was, after all, quite old. Although he was extremely wary of Xia Jin, he calmed down at this moment.

He instantly transformed into a blurry black shadow, picked up the curled-up Black Butcher with one hand, grabbed the arm of the dazed and mentally damaged White Phoenix with the other, burned his life essence, and fled desperately out of the valley at all costs!

It moved so fast that it almost left an afterimage in the same spot.

Xia Jin glanced coldly in the direction the three had fled, but did not immediately give chase. All his energy seemed to be focused on "compressing" the giant bell.

With the blessing of the Demon Heart Transcendence, the black and red aura emanating from him became increasingly intense, and the giant bell shrank faster and faster.

One zhang, half a zhang, three chi...

Finally, with a crisp "ding," the large bell was forcibly compressed back into its original form as a string of bells by Xia Jin!

"Not bad, not bad. It would be good to leave it for Yuexi to use for self-defense."

Xia Jin glanced at the pink bell in her hand and casually put it into her bosom.

"You lot!" He looked up in the direction where the three old men, including Mo Ya, had disappeared, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up again.

"Do you really think you can escape?"

With one step, his figure appeared a hundred feet in the air; with another step, he vanished from his spot in an instant.
