Duan Long's words obviously showed that he had not gone all out just now.
However, it was Zhou Yuan's sword that responded to Duan Long's words.
Zhou Yuan was also surrounded by spiritual energy, his clothes made a rustling sound, and sword light lingered in the void, and he ran straight towards Duan Long.
Duan Long was startled and quickly unleashed his entire body's cultivation.
Immediately, the aura spread all around, the wind blew violently, and the cultivation level of the eighth-level solid aura fluctuated, which directly caused the flowers and plants under the feet to break.
The next moment, Duan Long's heavy sword slashed at Zhou Yuan again.
This sword is obviously several times stronger than the one just now, and it makes people feel terrified just by looking at it.
But a huge crash was heard.
The place where the two met immediately emitted several dazzling lights.
Everyone around felt that the sky and the earth were changing color, and the sun and the moon began to lose their light.
The battle between the two is no longer something they can comment on, because neither of them can reach this level.
After a while.
Bang!
A heavy sword was thrown out with a bang and embedded in a huge stone.
Duan Long retreated continuously, spitting blood.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Their captain had never beaten Zhou Yuan. Isn't this scene too unreal?
Zhou Yuan stepped forward with his sword, pointing at Duan Long.
"Is this what you call full strength?" In Zhou Yuan's view, Duan Long is too weak.
Duan Long covered his chest and looked extremely ugly.
He didn't expect that he would be defeated by a junior today and be underestimated by him.
"Which family are you the genius of?"
With the qualifications Zhou Yuan showed, Duan Long had to think that he was the genius of a certain family, otherwise he wouldn't be so ridiculously strong.
"Tell me about my father." Zhou Yuan was too lazy to answer his questions.
Duan Long was speechless for a moment, Zhou Yuan gave him such a strong feeling.
Although he dominated the Diling Mountains, he did not dare to offend the family forces in the city. He thought for a while and then revealed the truth.
"This knife was given to me by your father. Half a month ago, I found your father trapped on Heng Cliff. I passed by that place and said hello to him. He said that he was probably not going to die soon, so I gave this knife to him.
He gave me the knife."
"So I came back with this knife and gave it to my second boss."
By this time, Duan Long no longer had any arrogance.
At the same time, he also mistakenly believed that the trouble caused by the Fuling hunting team was caused by this knife.
The Hengdu Cliff is a dangerous place in the Diling Mountains, and it is marked on the map Zhou Yuan carries with him.
"Since you got this knife, why didn't you rescue my father?" Zhou Yuan asked again.
Duan Long's expression changed, and he immediately said: "There is a ninth-level flame ox on Hengdu Cliff. Your father is trapped there. I want to save him, so I must have that strength."
Only then did Zhou Yuan suddenly realize.
It is true that Duan Long did not dare to provoke ninth level earth spirit beasts.
Even the current self may not be the opponent of the ninth-level flaming bull.
Zhou Yuan immediately frowned. He didn't expect that his father was actually trapped on Hengdu Cliff. It has been more than half a month now. His father either starved to death there or was eaten by the Yanniu. There was no chance of survival.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuan was heartbroken.
He took back his sword, then turned around and left slowly.
When Duan Long saw that Zhou Yuan would not kill him, his attitude immediately changed and he asked: "Where are you going?"
Zhou Yuan said without looking back: "I'm going to find my father."
Duan Long was stunned.
The ninth-level Flame Ox is difficult to deal with, and Zhou Yuan may have a narrow escape from death.
Zhou Yuan took a few steps and then turned back.
"In the past few days, someone has pretended to be my name and intercepted and killed members of your two hunting teams in the Diling Mountains. You'd better be careful."
After that, he turned around and disappeared into the dense forest.
Duan Long's eyes suddenly widened.
"Didn't he kill my brothers?"
He always thought that all of this was ultimately because of Zhou Canghai.
But now I realized that the brothers' deaths had nothing to do with Zhou Canghai, but there was another mastermind behind the scenes.
At this point, it was impossible for him not to believe Zhou Yuan.
After all, Zhou Yuan could defeat him easily and didn't kill him in the end, which speaks volumes.
It wasn't until Zhou Yuan left that everyone in Fuling's hunting team recovered from the shock.
Duan Long stood up and said: "Gather everyone immediately and follow me to find the real culprit behind the scenes."
In an instant, everyone in Fuling's hunting team was dispatched.
However, before leaving the camp, a cry of death was heard in the distance.
Duan Long was immediately startled. He raised his eyes and saw that the crowd was surging and the momentum was huge. It turned out to be Wan Tianpeng leading the Tianpeng hunting team to kill them.
"What is going on?" Duan Long was shocked.
Although the two hunting teams had conflicts, they did not go to the extent of a major war.
And looking at Wan Tianpeng's expression, he seemed very angry.
Wan Tianpeng rushed over first, glared at Duan Long and asked, "Where is Zhou Yuan?"
Duan Long then smiled bitterly, this scene seemed a bit familiar.
Previously, he sent someone to the other side to ask for someone, and now the other side asked him for someone, and it was all because of Zhou Yuan.
But it was the real culprit behind the scenes that drove the two hunting teams into chaos.
"What are you looking for Zhou Yuan for?" Duan Long said with a smile.
Wan Tianpeng was filled with rage, "He killed my son, and I want him to pay with his life."
Duan Long was shocked again.
Zhou Yuan killed Wan Tianpeng's son?
Theoretically speaking, this is simply untenable. After all, Zhou Yuan is now also a member of the Tianpeng hunting team.
Duan Long then thought of the real culprit behind the scenes.
Maybe the real culprit behind the scenes is framing Zhou Yuan again.
Duan Long immediately rubbed his hands and said, "Is there a possibility that your son was not killed by Zhou Yuan, but that someone was framing him?"
Wan Tianpeng immediately threw out a note, "He said he joined your side. Is this true?"
Duan Long laughed.
"A lot of brothers in our Fuling hunting team have died in the past few days. If that's what he said, do you think I would let him join my side?"
"And let me tell you, it is basically impossible for you to ask Zhou Yuan to pay for your life, because even I am not his opponent, let alone you?"
Hearing this, Wan Tianpeng looked shocked.
He knew that Zhou Yuan's strength was extraordinary, but after all, he was only at the seventh level of loose Qi realm. Duan Long was a strong man at the eighth level of solid Qi realm, so he was no match for him?
"What about the Zhou Yuan people?" Wan Tianpeng asked again.
Duan Long did not answer, but slowly walked up to him and put his hand on Wan Tianpeng's shoulder.
"Captain Wan, there are some things that I must be honest with you about. Although our two families have always been at odds, we now have a common enemy. He is not Zhou Yuan, but..."
Duan Long told Wan Tianpeng what happened before and his next plan.
After hearing this, Wan Tianpeng looked extremely ugly, obviously unable to accept it.
Because even Duan Long believed that the murderer was not Zhou Yuan, then what reason did he have to doubt Zhou Yuan?
"Okay, I believe you for the time being. Let's find the real culprit behind the scenes. If you lie to me, I will fight you to the death."
…
at the same time.
Deep in the dense forest somewhere in the Diling Mountains.
There is a group of people hiding here.
They are the Xiao family who have been secretly causing trouble, and their leader is Xiao Jie.
They were the ones who had been framing Zhou Yuan for the past few days.
They were very careful, hiding in secret and never showing up.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a figure passing by, and with Xiao Jie's eyesight, he recognized it as Zhou Yuan at a glance.
"What's going on? How did this Zhou Yuan escape from the Fuling Hunting Team?"
They framed Zhou Yuan these days just to kill him with the help of two hunting teams.
We just got the news that Zhou Yuan has gone to the Fuling hunting team's camp.
In Xiao Jie's opinion, Duan Long could kill Zhou Yuan with just a raise of his hand. Even if Duan Long couldn't kill Zhou Yuan, Wan Tianpeng would still bring people over.
Because Wan Xiaohai was killed by him, and then he brought hatred to Zhou Yuan.
But at this moment, he clearly saw Zhou Yuan walking out of the Fuling hunting team's camp safe and sound.
"What on earth is going on? Is there something wrong with our plan?"
Xiao Jie looked puzzled.
Next to him, a young man came over.
If Zhou Yuan were present, he would definitely recognize that this young man is Zhang Xing.
He had been bribed by Xiao Jie. Previously, Wan Tianpeng asked him to protect Wan Xiaohai, but Zhang Xing personally handed over Wan Xiaohai to Xiao Jie.
He, Zhang Xing, is still young and does not want to stay in the deep mountains and wild forests for a long time.
And Xiao Jie promised him that after killing Zhou Yuan, he would introduce him to Seven Star Academy.
In fact, Xiao Jie doesn't have that much energy, it's just a temporary use of Zhang Xing.
Zhang Xing stepped forward and said, "Brother Jie, this kid is missing. I don't believe it if we follow him. With my strength, I can't kill him."
Xiao Jie shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You underestimate him too much."
Xiao Jie is not as stupid as Zhang Xing, he understands Zhou Yuan very well.
"But there is no need to guard the Fuling Hunting Team anymore. When the Tianpeng Hunting Team arrives, I estimate that the two hunting teams will have a fight. Even if there is no war, they will come to hunt down Zhou Yuan. Let's secretly follow Zhou Yuan first.
, let’s see where he goes.”
"Remember, no one should be exposed unless absolutely necessary."
