"It's about time. Next time we meet, without those noisy outsiders, I'll talk to you slowly..."

"But?" Xing glanced at Lin Yuan, her meaning clear.

"Hehe, don't worry. In Luofu, no one has appeared yet who can capture us—unless we want to."

As the sound faded, a thunderous roar echoed from afar.

Those present instinctively looked over and saw the distant sea of ​​clouds churning and the air currents surging.

A towering tree shadow was growing vigorously, its outstretched branches comparable in size to a grotto, with blazing flames burning upon it, and mysterious runes descending from the sky, piercing straight into the heavens.

Regardless of the nature of the hidden world, the location, or the individuals involved, everyone who noticed it watched in utter shock—

The Jianmu tree has been revived.

........

"What a treasure! This item is destined for me."

Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze and saw Kafka, who had already freed herself from her restraints.

"Star Core Hunter, you don't think you can escape from me, do you?"

"Hehe, why don't you try to catch me?"

Kafka smiled slightly, uttered a somewhat provocative remark, and quickly retreated.

"Humph!"

Lin Yuan said coldly, exerting force with his feet, and his figure instantly caught up.

But at that moment, a figure descended from the sky.

The black-haired man, who had just landed, stared coldly at Lin Yuan with his blood-red eyes. With a raised right arm, a shattered, fragmented sword pointed directly at him.

"Let's go, Ah Ren, there are still two places to go."

Kafka walked leisurely to the platform with her hands behind her back. She turned her head slightly and gave Lin Yuan a mocking smile.

"See you next time, and you still..."

"Who do you think a broken sword can stop? You might as well leave it here!"

Lin Yuan sneered, his body instantly accelerating. His eyes flickered, and his right hand reached out to grab the blade.

Upon seeing this, a fierce light and killing intent suddenly flashed in Ren's eyes. As his long sword swung horizontally, the blood-red sword light seemed to tear through the air, reflecting all sorts of terrifying phenomena.

"Ding--"

Amidst the ear-piercing clashes, Lin Yuan's figure tore through the sword light.

His arm never stopped, and the bloodstains were quickly wiped away under the flashing purple-gold light.

Lin Yuan grabbed the blade by the collar, and with a burst of immense strength, he swung the blade around.

Seeing the man soaring in the air, he leaped up and delivered a fierce whip kick, sending the man crashing off the platform.

"Ah Ren..."

Kafka's expression changed slightly as she turned around, her gaze instinctively following the figure of the blade, only to see Lin Yuan appear in front of her in an instant.

"You want to jump? I'll give you a ride."

Before she could finish speaking, Kafka felt a powerful force coming from behind her, and then she was kicked off the platform.

"I'll take care of these two Star Core Hunters. You two return to Chang Le Tian and await further orders."

As Lin Yuan finished speaking, he leaped into the sea of ​​clouds below.

............

Chapter 234 Hunter and Prey

The wind howled, and thick clouds flashed past Lin Yuan's eyes.

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up as he gazed at the disappearing Star Core Hunter below.

A burst of purple-gold light flashed, and the powerful impact directly dispersed the clouds, as if the sunlight were breaking through the clouds.

With a quick glance, Lin Yuan locked onto two figures.

Below, seeing Blade adjust his posture and approach, the two exchanged glances to confirm that the other was unharmed.

Blade's expression was slightly serious at this moment, while Kafka gave him a reassuring look.

A powerful hurricane swept in, silencing her words. But as teammates, they had a tacit understanding.

"That guy is still some distance away. Let's use Silver Wolf's Ether Beacon to shake him off."

With a glint in her eyes, Kafka had already made a plan.

She reached her right hand to her side, where she had a cool-looking piece of equipment tucked inside.

"Beep beep-"

An electronic voice announced that a colorful, dazzling tunnel had suddenly appeared in the space below.

Two figures, ready, leaped towards them in an instant, while a sharp glint flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes above:

"Hmph! Trying to escape?"

The sonic boom echoed all around, and Lin Yuan, in a blur, caught up just before the passage closed.

In an instant, the etheric channel seemed unable to withstand the immense power and slowly collapsed and dissipated.

............

After a flash of light, Lin Yuan appeared in another part of the sky.

The sound of surging waves came, and a damp, cool sea breeze blew by my side.

He looked up and saw the magnificent Jianmu tree already appearing not far away, filling his entire field of vision.

"Where is this? It seems we're not too far from the Lin Yuan Realm."

Lin Yuan snapped out of his thoughts and looked down at the land. He saw that the two people had landed safely and were looking up at the figure in the sky.

"They're really persistent."

Kafka spoke calmly, her face expressionless. She glanced at Blade beside her and instructed:

“Ah Ren, this guy is different from the other company people. Be careful. Also... he didn’t appear in Elio’s script.”

"Oh? A person without a destiny."

Ren's voice was deep, and there was no fear in his eyes.

A demon hunter who has lost the ability to feel fear, a swordsman who longs for death but cannot die—

Star Core Hunters are a group of oddballs whose path allows no room for fear. Perhaps, death is the only true liberation and redemption.

"Ren, be careful later, watch out for something that flashes white light..."

Just as Kafka was about to offer a warning, she heard a booming voice coming from the sky:

"Star Core Hunters, why have you stopped running?"

Lin Yuan looked down at the two of them, the vast light of the sky drifting behind him, and from the ground, only the outline of a halo could be seen.

He slowly raised his hand and pointed at the two of them.

"Kafka, bounty 10.899 billion credits. Blade, 8.13 billion credits. With such high values, they're worth my time. You can be proud of yourselves if you can lose to me."

However, I advise you not to resist law enforcement violently—otherwise, your lives will be at stake.

The magnificent sound resounded all around, even calming the ancient sea waves and bringing them back to silence.

A slightly manic smile suddenly appeared on Ren's lips, and bloodshot veins appeared in his eyes:

"Hehehe, kid, hasn't anyone told you that young people shouldn't be so arrogant?"

"Hehe, you two seniors, I've only been in the galaxy for a little over twenty years. How can I be young if I'm not full of vigor? If you've already lost your edge, then let me sweep you into the dustbin of history."

“How arrogant.” Kafka’s eyes narrowed slightly. The smile on Blade’s face vanished.

"Sharp-tongued brat, it seems your shallow age has made you unaware of the reputation of the Star Core Hunters. The number of corporate dogs who have died at our hands is enough to fill this sea next door."

A bloody smile appeared on Blade's lips.

"Enough talk. Since you've got the guts, let's fight!"

He raised his long sword high, pointing it at Lin Yuan.

"Then, as you wish."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

............

When the wind rises between heaven and earth, it is the wind of war and slaughter.

Just as Lin Yuan's figure flashed over, a blood-red sword light shone on the Dismembered Sword.

He raised his hand and struck, shattering the sword light, and then another sword followed with a terrifying force.

"Ren, don't hold back, go all out... [Listen to me]"

With a snap of the fingers, a rich, crimson light enveloped the entire arena.

With the help of pre-arranged psychological suggestions, Kafka can help Blade stabilize his state and unleash his power while maintaining his rationality. At the same time, she can also influence Lin Yuan.

The fact that they coordinated so quickly demonstrates the remarkable teamwork of the Star Core Hunters.

Unfortunately—

"I said, it's invalid!"

Lin Yuan's loud voice resounded all around, and in a flash of white light, the effect of the Word of Power was instantly dispelled.

"This is it!"

Kafka was startled; that uncomfortable sense of alienation resurfaced, as if some force was repelling all other abilities.

The white light disappeared, and the effect lasted only a moment, but it completely interrupted the power of the words.

For Kafka, with her power restored, she can continue fighting. However, for Blade, who has already unleashed her full power, it has a terrifying effect.
